The Walking Dead TWD
Chapter 216 Choosing to Stay
Zhou Nan shoved his hands into his trouser pockets tremblingly. Under everyone's awed gaze, he feigned composure and said, "Let's go."
Looking at the violent zombies attracted by the huge noise, everyone suddenly woke up from their dream and hurriedly continued to follow Eastman, running towards the locomotive.
When everyone finally boarded the train and the iron door was closed with a clang, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Nan was panting, glanced at Eastman who was also out of breath, and said nothing.
Eastman's reminder was indeed crucial. If they had gone to great lengths to reach the locomotive they had previously selected, only to find that there was no fuel, it would have been a big problem.
As the train started moving toward Savannah, silence fell on the carriage.
After seeing how powerful their "destructive power" was, Zoe and the others tore off scraps of cloth and made simple masks for themselves to prevent themselves from inadvertently infecting Zhou Nan and the other two.
Seeing that they were not in high spirits, Zhou Nan deliberately joked, "Zoe, do you want me to kiss you? I would be willing to be kissed by a beauty like you, even if it means turning me into a zombie."
After saying that, Zhou Nan imitated the appearance of a zombie and successfully made Zoe laugh.
Zoe then rolled her eyes at Zhou Nan and said, "That's just what you say. If I really kiss you, you'll be unhappy again."
As the atmosphere became more relaxed, Zoe also told the reason why she was in a bad mood.
Just now, these infected bodies became even more powerful with the help of the wildfire virus, catching her off guard.
Originally, they escaped all the way to Atlanta using little tricks they had figured out on their own. Now these little tricks were no longer applicable, which made her feel very frustrated.
The zombies seem to be getting stronger, while they are standing still. Now everyone is in a very pessimistic mood.
Seeing that several people were depressed, Zhou Nan comforted them: "Actually, there is something I have never told you."
Several people raised their heads and looked at Zhou Nan, wondering what Zhou Nan would say next.
"I'm sure you all know that we recently received a commission to search for the virus released by Umbrella Corporation within Atlanta."
"As far as I know, injecting this virus can accelerate the metabolism of host cells, causing them to divide and mutate rapidly. It can strengthen the host's muscles and increase their strength. It can even allow them to survive with multiple organ damage, and full recovery is no longer difficult."
"However, this mutation process is often uncontrollable and may ultimately lead to the death and decay of the host, transforming into the zombie form you are familiar with."
"But if I can obtain this virus, I can let my scientific research team conduct targeted research and development to try to decipher its secrets as soon as possible."
"There's absolutely no need to be pessimistic. Once you've perfectly embraced this virus, any special infected body can be killed with a single punch. Bill's cancer, lack of symptoms, and the frailty of the human physique...will no longer be a problem!"
Bill's eyes lit up. If what Zhou Nan said was true, then he wouldn't have died of cancer, right?
Zoe stared at her hands in a daze. These days, they were like rats in the gutter, not daring to come into direct contact with people for fear of turning others into violent monsters.
Can they also enjoy direct sunlight and fresh air?
Zoe's vision blurred. If they had no conscience, they would not suffer from the condemnation in their hearts. It was precisely because they were responsible for the lives of others that they suffered so much.
"You're not lying to me," Zoe wiped her tears.
Zhou Nan patted his chest and said, "When have I ever lied to anyone?"
"When the time comes, not only will I completely solve your physical problems, I will also turn you all into supermen!"
Seeing that Zhou Nan did not seem to be joking, Louis and Francis looked at Bill, then had a quick conversation, and finally they came to a conclusion.
They chose to trust Zhou Nan.
They won’t go to the Florida Keys!
They choose to live in seclusion because they are afraid of infecting others. Since their physical problems can be solved, why would they go to such a remote place?
I'll vomit if I eat sea fish every day!
Zhou Nan naturally welcomed them back to prison.
"However, your asymptomatic condition seems to be difficult to resolve at the moment..."
Zhou Nan's implication was obvious, but Bill and his friends were not such selfish people.
Bill smiled and said, "Zhou Nan, don't worry. We will live in the forest next to the prison and will never have any contact with your people!"
Zhou Nan also agreed with a smile, and immediately took out the radio and asked Hannah to communicate with the construction workers to quickly build a small shelter that was safe enough for Bill and the others.
After dealing with these, Zhou Nan looked at Zoe and the others and said, "Since you have chosen to stay, there is no need to follow us to Savannah."
Although Bill is a person who doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, he regards Zhou Nan as a friend and he cannot abandon his friend and leave alone.
Bill shook his head. "It doesn't matter. We should act together. There's no point in leaving alone."
Zoe once disliked Bill because of his previous behavior of watching those people die without helping. But now that she saw that Bill could do such a thing, her dissatisfaction disappeared.
There is strength in numbers, so Zhou Nan naturally would not refuse their kindness.
Now they only have one last goal.
That was to help Clementine find her parents, which was also what Zhou Nan had promised Clementine before.
Zhou Nan touched Clementine's little head, but found that she looked thoughtful and uninterested.
"What's wrong, Clem? You're going to meet your parents soon. Aren't you happy?"
In the game, Clementine's parents are dead, but the real progress has been advanced a lot, and Zhou Nan does not guarantee that her parents are definitely dead.
Clementine wilted a little. She looked up at everyone and said with a choked voice, "I don't want to look for my parents anymore."
As soon as she said this, everyone present was stunned. Everyone was very surprised by her sudden idea.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to Clementine's unexpected words.
Zhou Nan squatted down and looked Clementine in the eye, his eyes full of concern. "Clem, can you tell me what's going on?"
Clementine's eyes were red and tears welled up in them. She spoke in a sobbing voice, "This journey is truly too dangerous. I've seen firsthand how dangerous those special infected bodies are..."
"If you get hurt while helping me find my parents, I'll feel really bad."
"Let's go back," Clementine said, tears as big as beans rolling down her cheeks.
