Chapter 23: What Do You Want to Do?
The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
"It shouldn't be about him coming to join us, right? I think he seemed to be living quite comfortably in that strange city."
Lin Mancha disagreed, saying, "I saw him rescue a few people before and take them back with him. He must have come to save us this time."
"If he really is here to save us, should we go with him to that bizarre city?"
The girl who first noticed Alex approaching asked timidly, "He seems quite powerful. Following him might increase our chances of survival."
"Us, joining him? That's wishful thinking! Only if he's willing to join us and follow my orders!" Shen Jiabin said arrogantly. To him, joining a loser he looked down upon was worse than death. In his eyes, only someone as noble and perfect as himself was fit to be a leader. Only he could lead others. No one could lead him.
Meanwhile, Alex had already arrived outside the gymnasium. As for his purpose, Shen Jiabin and the others' speculations were just a joke to Alex. He didn't care at all about the fate of the survivors on the gym's rooftop. His only reason for coming to the gym was to find a few mutated zombies. That was it.
Alex looked up again, casting a cold glance at Shen Jiabin, and quickly climbed to the third-floor corridor, then leaped onto the corridor with a powerful jump. Seeing Alex's bizarre actions, Shen Jiabin and the others were completely baffled.
They had prepared to negotiate with Alex, but they never expected that Alex would completely ignore them. Moreover, Alex had even directly jumped onto the third-floor corridor swarming with zombies! What exactly was he trying to do?
"Look, he's killing zombies!"
"It seems he really is here to save us! He must be planning to clear out the zombies below so he can take us to his city!"
Tang Jingyan, lying prone and looking down at the third-floor corridor, screamed this to the others.
"It seems he wants to showcase his abilities in front of us, to have more leverage when he joins us!" Shen Jiabin arrogantly said, "But it's useless. To join us, one must follow my orders! Only I can lead everyone to survive in this apocalypse!"
"But he has a knife! And the way he's killing the zombies, it seems like he's very strong in combat! We might not be able to beat him..."
Zhuang Qiang, with narrowed eyes, spoke coldly, "Maybe, he's not here to save us but wants to get something from us."
