Chinese agents survive in a zombie apocalypse.

......

"Waaaah... I didn't want to... I didn't want to..."

With the cold muzzle of a gun pressed against his forehead, Pete felt no fear of death, but rather an overwhelming sense of pain and regret. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

"...There's no food in Sector B, we're all starving..."

On the other side, Byrd's eyes were also red, and he choked out:

"...Marcus forced everyone to eat. If we didn't, Marcus would eat us...we would be eaten like the people inside..."

"We...we were just so scared...we wanted to live..."

"How are you any different from the monsters outside when you treat your own kind like this?"

Susan's pretty face was now filled with murderous intent; for the first time, she felt murderous intent towards a living person.

“Susan…”

Li Ailun called out to Susan, who was about to lose control of her emotions; his voice was somewhat weak.

"Allen, do you know what they did?"

Susan heard Li Ailun's voice and turned to ask.

But she was startled to see that Li Ailun was pale and his lips were white, looking extremely weak.

All the anger in her heart receded like a tide, replaced by a deep fear. She could no longer care about the two people collapsing and crying on the ground.

......

Susan rushed to Li Ailun's side and asked in a somewhat panicked manner.

"Allen...how are you...don't scare me..."

She reached out her trembling hand and gently stroked Li Ailun's cheek, tears welling up uncontrollably in her eyes.

"Susan, help me over there."

Li Ailun pointed towards the lounge area, struggling to get up from the sofa.

"Okay... lean against me, I'll support you..."

Susan quickly helped him up.

Then, he helped Li Ailun to the only sofa next to the campfire in the lounge area and sat him down.

"First, tie their legs up, then find the first-aid kit."

As soon as Li Ailun sat down, he pointed at the two people and said to Susan.

He was worried about the two of them and needed to make proper arrangements first to prevent them from causing trouble.

"Mmm...okay."

Susan understood what Li Ailun meant.

Unable to find a suitable rope, she took out two pieces of clothing from her backpack and cut them into strips with a dagger to use as rope.

Both Byrd and Pete were dejected and had no will to resist, simply letting Susan tie their legs up.

After confirming that the two were completely incapacitated, and finding a first-aid kit in their travel bag, Susan returned to Li Ailun's side.

"How...how do I do it?"

"The bullet lodged in my shoulder blade, and now I'm experiencing oxygen deprivation and paralysis on the left side of my brain. We must cut open the wound and remove the bullet before I go into shock..."

As Li Ailun spoke, he handed his dagger to Susan, and continued:

"First, heat the knife over a fire, then disinfect it with alcohol."

"Get...get the bullets..."

Susan's eyes widened, filled with panic, and she spoke in a trembling voice.

Seeing Li Ailun's unprecedentedly weak appearance, she knew there was no time to hesitate.

However, Susan didn't take Li Ailun's dagger. Instead, she drew a self-defense dagger from her leather sheath and said:

"Use mine, my knife is clean."

Li Ailun's dagger had been used to kill infected people. She didn't know if simple disinfection could eliminate the virus, and she dared not take the risk.

"Let's light the fire."

Li Ailun nodded in agreement. Susan was an expert in virology, and it was safer to take her advice on this matter.

Susan turned to look at the extinguished campfire. A few pieces of wood, mostly burned, were topped with small sticks skewered with dark chunks of meat. It was obvious where the meat came from.

She found a lighter next to the campfire, threw a few "meat skewers" far away, and then lit the kindling in the wood. Soon, a roaring flame was burning.

Seeing Susan looking at him with a tense and worried expression, Li Ailun smiled easily on his pale face and comforted her:

"Don't be nervous, I'll teach you."

"Hmm... tell me how to do it."

Susan nodded vigorously, trying to force herself to calm down.

"Take off my clothes first."

Li Ailun said.

Upon hearing this, Susan reached out and, with trembling hands, unbuttoned his shirt, which was already stained with blood.

When his shirt was open, his bare upper body was revealed, showing off his well-defined and neatly arranged abdominal muscles, his powerful yet understated muscle lines, and even the three or five old scars on his body. All of this was on full display before Susan.

Normally, Susan would have been thrilled by the sight, but at this moment her attention was focused on Li Ailun's injury.

Susan first heated the dagger over a fire, then disinfected it with alcohol, and finally rinsed the wound with saline solution...

After completing the preparations, she held the dagger and was about to cut open the wound when she suddenly stopped.

"Straight...start right away? There's no anesthesia, Eren..."

Susan looked at Li Ailun with surprise and uncertainty.

She suddenly remembered that she didn't have anesthesia yet, but where could she find anesthetic now?

"...It's alright, come on."

Li Ailun was mentally prepared, and he said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Susan looked intently at Li Ailun's resolute face. Her hand gripping the knife visibly trembled, but she dared not waste any more time. She took a deep breath and began to remove the bullet from his body...

As the sharp dagger sliced ​​open the wound, exposing the muscle tissue beneath, bright red blood gushed out, flowing down with each cut...

"Okay, open up the wound, find the bullet..."

"what......"

"Can it hold up?"

Li Ailun looked at her and asked.

"Hold on...hold on...I can hold on..."

Susan stammered in response, then reached up and reopened her wound, her eyes wide as she strained to find the bullet marks...

"Did you see the bullet?"

"No...no, the wound is very deep..."

"Use your hands, quickly..."

Li Ailun said, enduring the intense pain.

"oh oh......"

Susan quickly disinfected her hands with alcohol, then used her fingers to pry open the muscle tissue inside and search for the bullet deep inside the wound.

"Well......"

Li Ailun gritted his teeth, trembling with pain, and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"Allen, can you still hold on...?"

Susan stopped what she was doing and looked at him with concern.

"Don't stop, keep searching..."

Despite being covered in sweat, Li Ailun persevered through the excruciating pain.

"We've found the bullets..."

Suddenly, Susan's big eyes lit up instantly, and she said excitedly.
