Chinese agents survive in a zombie apocalypse.

......

The surgery was underway in the room, while everyone else waited anxiously in the living room.

Suddenly, suppressed sobbing came from the kitchen. Susan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then got up and walked towards the kitchen.

As she walked down the corridor, she saw Glenn pacing back and forth in the kitchen doorway, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

“Glen?”

Susan asked softly, "What are you doing here?"

"Ah... Dr. Su."

Glenn whirled around and saw Susan. A flicker of embarrassment crossed his face, and he stammered, "Dr. Susan... I... Maggie's inside. She's still grieving over Otis. I... uh..."

"..."

Seeing his embarrassed look, Susan understood and nodded, saying, "I'll go in and see her."

After saying that, she went straight into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Maggie was sobbing with her head down, her shoulders trembling slightly. Hearing footsteps, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, looked up, and saw the Chinese female PhD who had volunteered to go to the town to meet her. She forced a smile and asked:

"Would you like something to eat? I'll get something ready right away..."

"Thank you, but no thanks, I'm not hungry."

Susan shook her head, looking at her gently, and asked softly, "Maggie, right? May I call you that?"

"Can......"

Maggie nodded.

She had a good impression of this brave female PhD student.

"Although I have never met Otis, I can sense that he must be a very kind person."

Susan walked over, sat down beside her, gently put her arm around her shoulder, and tenderly comforted her, "Don't be too sad. I think Otis wouldn't want to see you both so heartbroken..."

"...I've known Otis since I was a child."

Maggie's eyes reddened again, her expression filled with sorrow, and she choked out, "He was managing this farm before my mother passed away... Over the years, he's been like family to me."

"..."

Susan listened quietly, gently patting her shoulder to offer silent comfort.

"..."

Glenn followed Susan into the kitchen and stood silently to the side the whole time.

At this moment, seeing that Maggie's emotions had calmed down a bit, his gaze fell on the photo on the refrigerator, and he asked, almost as if possessed, "Who else?"

"Who else have you lost?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Maggie was stunned. She looked up at him with teary eyes, her face blank.

"Glenn, stop making things worse!"

Susan gave him a reproachful look and scolded him playfully.

They're already so heartbroken, why are you adding fuel to the fire...?

"..."

Glenn then realized that his words were somewhat inappropriate and quickly looked at Maggie, explaining, "You said I had to find a way to solve the problem myself, and you've been trying to do that, haven't you?"

"..."

Maggie recalled their previous conversation and nodded slightly.

Glenn breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she understood what he meant, and then asked, "Who are they?"

"..."

Maggie took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. She walked to the refrigerator, pointed to the familiar smiling faces in the photos, and introduced them one by one: "Stepmother..."

"Half-brothers..."

"..."

Susan sat in the back watching them quietly, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips.

.......

Just then, with a "click," the door to the room suddenly opened, and Hao Sher walked out looking exhausted.

"Doctor, how is it?"

"How is Karl?"

The crowd immediately surrounded them, asking a barrage of questions.

In the kitchen, Susan and the others heard the commotion outside and rushed over.

"The surgery went smoothly!"

Although Hao Sher's voice was tired, it carried a hint of relief. He looked around and, not seeing the children's parents, asked, "Where are Rick and the others?"

"Lori was too nervous, so Rick took her outside for some fresh air."

Dr. Jenner replied.

...outside the house.

Rick and Lori sat huddled together on the steps, their faces grave as they awaited news of the surgery.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of a door opening behind them. They immediately stood up and saw Hao Sher and the others walking out of the house.

"..."

Rick held Lori's hand tightly, their faces filled with tension and anticipation.

"..."

A relaxed smile appeared on Hao Sher's face as he looked at the two of them and said, "It seems his condition has stabilized."

"Thank God."

Rick breathed a sigh of relief; a huge weight had finally been lifted from his shoulders.

He stepped forward and hugged the old man tightly, his gratitude evident in his words.

"..."

Hao Sher patted Rick on the back and smiled at him. This surgery was a real source of stress for him.

"..."

Lori burst into tears of joy, so excited she was incoherent, saying, "I don't know what to say..."

"Me too, I wish I knew..."

At this moment, Hao Sher's smile vanished, his expression turning somber again. He said sadly, "How am I supposed to tell Patricia about Otis...?"

Upon hearing this, everyone remembered that there were even more troublesome matters waiting for them, and the relaxed atmosphere instantly dissipated.

"..."

In the distance, Sean was leaning against the hood of the car, quietly watching this scene. When he heard Hao Sher's words, his expression changed slightly.

"..."

Rick pondered for a moment, knowing that he still had to face the situation.

"Go see Carl."

He gave Lori a few instructions, then turned to the old man and said, "I'll go with Hachel."

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Susan noticed Sean limping towards the house, dragging his injured leg. She suddenly called out to him, "Sean!"

"..."

Sean was taken aback by her words, looked at her with a hint of wariness in his eyes, and asked, "Is something the matter?"

He wasn't familiar with this Chinese woman; she had previously caught him and Lori having an affair at the CDC.

"Uh……"

Susan noticed his wariness and changed her tone, asking with concern, "How's your foot? It looks pretty badly injured."

"It's nothing, I just twisted my ankle."

Sean lowered his guard slightly and explained.

As he spoke, he limped to the steps and was about to walk past the group when Susan suddenly reached out and blocked his way.

"Is there anything else, ma'am?"

Sean frowned slightly, his tone already carrying a hint of displeasure.
