Chinese agents survive in a zombie apocalypse.

......

After a brief moment of tenderness, Li Ailun gently released Amy from his arms and said softly, "Let's go inside."

"Ah."

Amy obediently responded, her arm tightly linked with Li Ailun's, and she followed him step by step toward the house like a little bird nestled against its nest.

The two had just stepped onto the corridor steps when they ran into Lori, who was coming out of the door.

Seeing that Lori looked tired and haggard, Amy asked with concern, "Lori, you look terrible. Are you feeling unwell?"

"..."

Lori shook her head gently, a slightly forced smile appearing on her lips, and whispered, "I'm fine."

"..."

Amy was still worried, but she understood her feelings. After thinking for a moment, she gently comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Carl will be alright! You also need to take care of yourself; he needs you."

"I understand, thank you."

Lori composed herself and thanked Amy.

"..."

Li Ailun wasn't very good at comforting people, so he just waited quietly to the side, knowing that Lori must have come out to be alone for a while.

So he nodded kindly to Lori, then took Amy's hand and said, "Let's go."

......

When the two returned to the living room, they found everyone there, some resting, some eating, and some chatting.

Everyone looked exceptionally relaxed. The safe and cozy environment greatly relieved their fatigue from the past few days of travel, so much so that the two of them didn't attract much attention when they entered.

Just then, Carol came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of simple food. She saw them and greeted them warmly, "Amy, Allen, would you like something to eat?"

With something on his mind, Li Ailun really had no appetite, so he shook his head and said, "I don't need any, thank you."

"Then I don't need it."

Amy smiled and shook her head when she saw this.

Carol naturally wouldn't force them, but simply smiled and told them, "If you're hungry, just go to the kitchen and get some; there's still plenty left."

Li Ailun nodded to her and walked away, finding a quiet corner in the living room to rest. Amy naturally stayed close by, snuggling intimately beside him as she sat down.

Looking at the two of them being so close, Carol couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

Later, Carol found her daughter Sophia, handed her the plate, and said with a fond smile, "Eat up, here's your favorite jam."

"..."

Sophia reached out and took the plate, but without even glancing at her favorite food, she blinked her innocent eyes and asked with a worried expression, "Mommy, Carl will be alright, right?"

"..."

Carole paused, then gently stroked her daughter's hair, softly reassuring her, "Yes, he'll be alright!"

……

On the other side, Patricia was stitching up T-boy's wound, while Maggie assisted by holding down his arm.

"hiss......"

Feeling the needle and thread moving back and forth between his skin and flesh, the excruciating pain made T-Zai gasp involuntarily.

"You came just in time; you wouldn't have survived if you hadn't been treated."

Patricia talked to T-boy, trying to distract him, and said thankfully, "Luckily, he took antibiotics, otherwise we would have been helpless."

"Moore Dixon, he's the one who found the antibiotics, right in the town they went to..."

Glenn chimed in from the side.

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Maggie, only to find that Maggie was also secretly looking at him.

The moment their eyes met, he felt his heart suddenly race...

"Then you really should thank your friend..."

Patricia's hands continued moving, but thinking of her husband, her expression darkened. She said, "My husband is in that town too..."

"..."

After listening, T-boy remained silent for a moment, thinking about his complicated relationship with Moore, and said with mixed feelings, "I'm not sure if he counts as a friend..."

"It must be today, doxycycline saved your life today."

Patricia said.

"hiss......"

Large beads of sweat rolled down T-Zai's forehead. The excruciating pain in his arm contorted his face as he gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, I owe him another life..."

"..."

Glenn, realizing he couldn't really help much, picked up his cup and left.

Unbeknownst to him, Maggie's gaze followed his departing figure.

......

Outside, Rick and Lori were in the hallway, seemingly discussing something. The atmosphere between them was a little heavy. When they saw Glenn come out, they stopped talking.

"..."

Glenn nodded to the couple, not bothering them, but instead turned and walked to the other side of the corridor, to the wooden chair where Maggie had just sat.

The night was deep, yet it didn't feel deathly still; instead, it exuded a unique liveliness. Various insects sang to their hearts' content, their calls rising and falling, intertwining to create a distinctive symphony, adding a touch of life and vitality to the quiet night.

"..."

Glenn sat down on the wooden chair, casually placed his cup on the ground, and stared blankly at the dark farm in the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.

.......

Suddenly, the door was pushed open again, and this time Maggie came out.

She called out to Rick and Lori, "Rick! Lori!"

"Karl has woken up! Go check on him!"

“Karl…”

Lori's face lit up with joy instantly. She shouted her son's name and rushed into the house like a gust of wind.

Rick didn't have time to ask any more questions and followed closely behind, anxiously.

"..."

Maggie didn't follow them into the house; instead, she looked around as if searching for something.

She clearly saw Glenn come out earlier...

Soon, she spotted Glenn sitting in a chair on the other side of the corridor, deep in thought.

"..."

Maggie tiptoed over and, seeing him so lost in thought that he hadn't even noticed her approaching, asked, "Are you praying?"

"!"

Glenn looked up abruptly and realized that Maggie had been standing beside him, leaning against a pillar in the corridor and watching him. She said with a hint of exasperation, "Why do you always peek at other people?"

"You're easily spied on..."

Maggie responded somewhat illogically, then sat down on the wooden railing of the corridor, looking him over with interest.

"I was praying..."

Glenn felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and instinctively avoided her eyes, adding somewhat awkwardly, "I'm trying to pray..."

Are you religious? Do you pray often?

"Actually, this is my first time."

"Not before?"

"..."

Glenn simply nodded silently, without saying anything more.

"Feel sorry......"

Maggie apologized, but her tone was clearly insincere.

Seeing that Glenn seemed down, she deliberately misinterpreted his words and teased, "I didn't mean to ruin your first time."

"God has probably already received it."

Glenn clearly didn't catch the sarcasm in her words.

"..."

Seeing that he was so naive and completely oblivious to her joke, Maggie had no choice but to ask again, "Why are you praying?"

"For my friends."

Glenn seemed somewhat annoyed by being left on the farm and forced to wait idly, saying dejectedly, "It seems they all really need help right now, and there's nothing I can do to help..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Maggie was at a loss for words to comfort him.

"What do you think...?"

Glenn then looked up at Maggie and asked, "Do you believe God really exists?"

"I used to believe it very much."

Maggie turned to look at the vast night, paused, then changed the subject, saying, "Lately, I've started to suspect that, looking at all this happening, everyone has been praying, but God hasn't given much of a response..."

"..."

Glenn was taken aback by her bluntness and was momentarily speechless before saying helplessly, "Thank you, you really did 'help' me."

"..."

Seeing his sullen expression, Maggie found it quite amusing and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She said apologetically, "Sorry, please continue... really."

"..."

Seeing that she was still sitting there and didn't seem to be leaving, Glenn asked curiously, "Are you going to keep watching?"

"..."

Maggie was truly exasperated by this clueless straight man. After a moment of silence, she had no choice but to stand up from the wooden railing.

However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she walked over, bent down, picked up the water glass from the ground, and said to Glenn, "I'll get you some water."

However, just as Maggie was about to go inside, she suddenly turned around and looked at Glenn earnestly, saying, "I know this is none of my business; it's a matter of personal freedom whether or not one believes in God."

"But no matter how bad the situation is, you have to... figure out how to solve the problem yourself."

After saying that, Maggie opened the door and went inside.

"..."

Glenn stared blankly as the door slowly closed, then sat motionless in the hallway for a long time...
