CHAPTER 353: CHAPTER 355: LU CHUAN, DON’T FORGET OUR AGREEMENT!

Nighttime.

Inside the courtyard, the lights were bright, quiet, and peaceful.

Outside the courtyard walls, fourth-tier Corpse Puppets were stationed around, guarding the safety of the courtyard to prevent any Fierce Beasts from approaching.

At the same time, underground Earth Escape One and Flyer One in the sky were meticulously executing patrol tasks, alerting to any creature trying to approach the courtyard from above or below.

Inside the house, Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin sat by the dining table, having dinner.

A pot of braised eggplant with pork was placed in the center of the dining table.

Ji Ruxue held a spoon, eating while looking at Zhao Lin opposite her. At this moment, this woman was stuffing herself, constantly shoveling the food in her bowl into her mouth, enjoying her meal immensely.

It couldn’t help but bring a smile to her heart, it seemed the pain of separation did not affect this foolish woman’s appetite at all!

Clatter~

At this moment, the kitchen door was opened, and Lu Chuan came over with a bowl of seaweed egg flower soup.

As he placed the seaweed egg flower soup on the dining table and saw Zhao Lin’s good appetite, he was already accustomed to it and didn’t find it strange at all.

It wasn’t that the food he made was some kind of rare delicacy, but for an Evolver like Zhao Lin with enhanced physical abilities, her daily energy consumption was several times that of Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue, who primarily evolved through Spiritual Power.

That’s why she needed to consume enough food daily to supply her routine needs.

Afterwards, as Lu Chuan turned to clean up the stove, Ji Ruxue’s eyes flashed, and she jumped off the chair, hastily running into the kitchen as well.

"Why are you running over here instead of eating properly?"

Hearing the commotion, Lu Chuan turned around and found it was Little Qiqi, feeling puzzled.

"Dad, squat down, I want to tell you something!"

Ji Ruxue approached and said softly.

Upon hearing this, although Lu Chuan didn’t understand Little Qiqi’s actions, he didn’t refuse, obediently listening to his daughter, squatted down, and even sided his ear.

Ji Ruxue leaned towards Lu Chuan’s ear and said, "Dad, I have a piece of news for you, Mrs. Zhao Lin is planning to leave."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan immediately frowned.

Zhao Lin wants to leave?

Why would she want to leave? Haven’t I treated her well?

There’s absolutely no lack of food or clothing, and safety is also guaranteed.

Initially, Lu Chuan indeed had some vigilance towards Zhao Lin, after all, she was a human, a police officer, and they were even on opposing sides in the Jiangnan City District, having fought before.

However, after a period of interaction, seeing Zhao Lin would even risk her life to save Little Qiqi, Lu Chuan gradually let go of his guard and become accustomed to Zhao Lin’s presence.

Now, suddenly hearing she wants to leave, he felt a bit unaccustomed.

"Mrs. Zhao Lin said that now that Little Qiqi doesn’t need protecting anymore, she should pursue her ideal and beliefs."

Seeing this, Ji Ruxue continued to speak beside him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan basically understood what was going on.

Since it was for her own ideals and beliefs, naturally, he had no reason to urge her to stay, nor would he.

Because given Zhao Lin’s previous firmness, the chance to persuade her to stay once she decided to leave was very slim, and since it was to pursue her ideals and beliefs, why should he even try?

For Zhao Lin, what she probably needed most now was encouragement!

"Little Qiqi, dad understands, go back to eat!"

Coming back to his senses, Lu Chuan looked at Little Qiqi beside him and wrote on a piece of paper.

"Oh, okay, dad, don’t forget to try and persuade Mrs. Zhao Lin!"

Ji Ruxue nodded, then feigned a sad plea to Lu Chuan.

Although she knew it was almost impossible to succeed, given her daily relationship with Zhao Lin, such behavior is something a little girl would certainly do.

After all, when someone you spend every day with is leaving, a child would naturally be unwilling and reluctant.

Hearing this, although not wanting to deceive Little Qiqi, Lu Chuan ultimately forced a smile and nodded.

After the meal, Lu Chuan found Zhao Lin.

"Are you leaving?"

Lu Chuan looked at Zhao Lin sitting opposite him and wrote on a piece of paper.

"Yes, did Little Qiqi tell you? Lu Chuan, thank you for taking care of me during this time; this is considered the most comfortable and happiest days I’ve had since the apocalypse."

Zhao Lin nodded, her face blooming with smiles, her tone firm as she spoke.

Regarding Lu Chuan, although Zhao Lin couldn’t approve of some of his practices, she had to admit he was a good person.

Even though he had become a zombie, compared to some beasts that devoured their kind, he was much better, and more importantly, Lu Chuan had never voluntarily harmed innocent people. He was a good person and a good zombie.

It’s a pity that humanity had prejudice against Lu Chuan from the start, leading to today’s situation after rounds of fighting, and who knows how deep his hatred for the human officials now...

Hopefully, there’s still room for negotiation, and she might resolve the conflicts between both sides, restoring peace through her own hands.

Lu Chuan nodded, his face solemn, and wrote on the paper seriously, "Since it’s like that, I wish you a smooth journey!"

"Of course, if you encounter difficulties, you can come back and seek my help, I will surely lend a hand!"

"Thank you, Lu Chuan, if I encounter problems, I won’t be polite to you!"

Regarding Lu Chuan’s strength, Zhao Lin, who had witnessed it, naturally had no doubt at all, accepting with a cheerful smile.

After all, after leaving, who knows how much difficulty she’ll encounter, and she wouldn’t be silly enough to push away this strong support from Lu Chuan; she surely wouldn’t be hypocritical when a mere hold could solve problems.

"Here are some Fierce Beast jerky I prepared for you to take and eat on the road!"

Then Lu Chuan wrote on a piece of paper.

Afterwards, he handed a bulging backpack beside him to Zhao Lin.

"Thank you!"

Zhao Lin received the backpack, full of smiles, realizing that this much Fierce Beast jerky could supply energy to last her quite a long time in the wild.

The next day.

Outside the courtyard, Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue were seeing Zhao Lin off.

Standing beside a car, Zhao Lin smiled at Lu Chuan, testingly asked, "Lu Chuan, do you remember what I mentioned about humans and the Zombie Race... what do you think about it?"

Hearing this, Lu Chuan looked earnestly at the hopeful Zhao Lin, didn’t hesitate much, and wrote on the paper, "If you can truly make humans follow your lead, coexistence with humans wouldn’t be impossible."

Seeing this written content, Zhao Lin was instantly overjoyed.

"Alright, Lu Chuan, wait and see, I will definitely succeed!"

After getting into the driver’s seat, Zhao Lin waved at Little Qiqi.

"Goodbye, Little Qiqi!"

"And Lu Chuan, don’t forget our promise!"

Afterwards, Zhao Lin rode the black ox, quickly leaving, and soon disappeared from the sight of Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue.
