The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 54 Paul Awakens

When the first rays of morning sunlight shone into the dim ward, Paul opened his eyes.

There was a rustling sound beside him, and Paul's wound felt a little itchy. It turned out that Marcus was treating Paul's wound.

This was not an easy task, because Paul, who was in a coma, had to have his inflamed wounds treated at least three times a night.

If left untreated, the risk of further injury increases.

The first thing Paul saw was Marcus treating his wound.

"You...you saved me." Paul's voice was hoarse, but his eyes were full of gratitude.

When Marcus saw Paul wake up, he smiled and said, "No, to be precise, it was Zhou Nan who saved you!"

"Zhou Nan?" Paul wanted to look around, but was stopped by Marcus.

"Don't talk. You need to conserve your energy. You've lost too much blood and need to rest."

"Zhou Nan will be here soon. I'll go get Karina first. She's really worried. You should know her, right?"

Paul nodded gratefully: "I know him, thank you for your help!"

Soon after, Karina, who was called by Marcus, hurried to Paul's bedside.

Looking at Paul who had regained consciousness, she threw herself into his arms and choked up, "I thought I would never see you again!"

While the two were talking to each other, Zhou Nan also walked in, and Marcus explained to Paul.

"This is Zhou Nan, the boss here. He's the one who risked his life to find the medicine for you!"

After hearing this, Paul struggled to sit up, but Zhou Nan forced him down.

"Paul, I understand your gratitude. Don't get up. You need to recover quickly."

Paul didn't know what to say. "I swear on my life that I will repay you!"

Zhou Nan looked at Karina and Paul and said seriously, "Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise to join our team."

Karina just mentioned to Paul that she promised Zhou Nan that she would join the team as long as Paul was rescued.

Paul was not averse to joining the team. In order to provide Karina with a safe environment, Paul immediately agreed.

"No problem, Zhou Nan, we agree to join your team."

A smile appeared on Zhou Nan's face again. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Paul.

"Paul, Karina, thank you for joining us. Please believe us, we will not let you down!"

Zhou Nan also mentioned what Paul and Karina were responsible for.

"Marcunes is a doctor, Hannah is a psychologist, Kelly is responsible for handling some household chores, and I am mainly responsible for recruiting team members. We will act as a fighting force when necessary."

"Billy and Jimmy are responsible for learning knowledge and striving to become the backbone of the family in the future. Max, as a guard dog, needs to be on guard duty."

"Everyone is doing their job, and you are no exception."

Paul and Karina nodded: "That's for sure."

Seeing that Paul and Karina agreed, Zhou Nan said, "Karina is a key technical talent, so let her stay at home and give full play to her abilities."

Paul naturally wanted it more than anything. He also wanted Karina to be in a safe place. Karina had no fighting ability, so it was better to leave the fighting and killing to him.

Zhou Nan looked at Paul again: "As for you, I heard from Karina that you are a martial arts coach?"

Paul responded, "Yes, before the disaster, I opened a martial arts school that was losing money year after year. I was mainly responsible for teaching students boxing and kicking, as well as some sword techniques."

Zhou Nan suddenly thought of Jesus, whose name was also Paul. Could it be that all people named Paul are particularly good at martial arts?

Zhou Nan thought with amusement, but he had already planned Paul's job in his mind: "Paul, you will be responsible for teaching everyone swordsmanship and serving as a fighting force when necessary. Is that okay with you?"

Paul was ecstatic: "Of course!"

"I'd love to. When do we start? Now?"

He loves martial arts the most. His eyes light up when he mentions martial arts. He is happy to teach others. When he opened a martial arts school, he would even teach for free if others couldn't afford the tuition!

This also led to his martial arts school suffering losses year after year.

But even so, he is unwilling to close down, which shows that he loves this job.

Now that Zhou Nan asked him to go back to his old job, he was naturally willing to do it.

"Very good, I can see your enthusiasm, but no matter how much you love martial arts, you still have to take care of your body first. Why don't you start after you have recovered?"

Paul looks a little fanatical when he mentions martial arts. He is a very pure person. People like him are straightforward and easy to get along with.

Zhou Nan looked at his thin arms and legs, hesitated for a moment, and asked Paul, "Paul, do you know how to increase your strength?"

"I have been exercising during this period, but the results have been minimal."

Paul's eyes lit up: "Do you need me to help you develop a detailed training plan?"

Zhou Nan has always believed that martial arts is a form of trickery, because with absolute strength, there is no need for skills.

Zhou Nan looked at Paul's body, and found that he was as thin as himself. Perhaps Paul embarked on the path of martial arts because of his thinness?

Paul saw Zhou Nan's doubt and said to Zhou Nan with a smile.

"Don't look at me as a patient now. If you compete with me in strength, you won't be able to beat me. Do you believe it?"

Marcunes commented on the side: "Excessive blood loss will cause the body to lack oxygen, weakening muscle strength, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness."

"Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of the body, including the muscles."

"When the number of red blood cells decreases, the muscles don't get enough oxygen, which causes them to not work properly, leading to symptoms of weakness."

"Paul, this is an unfair game." Marcus commented objectively.

Paul waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. How can there be so much absolute fairness in the world?"

Looking at the arrogant Paul, Zhou Nan also got angry. He couldn't believe that Paul, a patient, could abuse him with one hand!

When Paul saw Zhou Nan's expression, he knew that Zhou Nan didn't believe it.

"How about this, let's have a competition!"

"If you lose, you will follow the training goals I set for you, and you cannot complain at all. How about it? Do you dare to come?"

Zhou Nan discovered the loophole in Paul's words: "What about you? What will be the punishment if you lose?"

A confident smile appeared on Paul's face, which was extremely pale due to blood loss.

"I?"

"Haha, don't even think about me when dealing with someone like you who doesn't exercise regularly."

"I won't lose!"
