Chinese agents survive in a zombie apocalypse.

Chapter 91 Request, Amy's Birthday Gift

……

"Dr. Su, please give me some time. I will convince everyone, and then we can go to the CDC together. It's better to have more people so we can look after each other."

Rick walked up to Susan and looked at her earnestly, pleading with her.

Susan didn't act on her own initiative, but instead turned to Li Ailun to see his reaction.

"..."

Lee Allen thought for a moment, then said to Rick:

"We're leaving tomorrow..."

"Thanks......"

Rick breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said with great gratitude.

It also shows that this man is the core of their relationship.

"What about Jim? What will happen to him? Do you think he can make it to tomorrow?"

Andrea then suddenly asked a question.

Everyone then looked at Jim, who was not far away. He was a ticking time bomb; no one knew when he would mutate and harm others.

"If you don't dare, then let someone with guts handle it..."

Daryl's gaze toward Jim began to turn somewhat dangerous again.

He didn't believe in any so-called antidote and thought it was incredibly foolish to keep someone who could turn into a zombie in the team.

"We don't kill living people!"

Rick looked at Daryl and emphasized again.

"It's ironic that a policeman who locks people on the roof to die would say such a thing."

Moore naturally sided with his brother, glancing sideways at Rick and saying with a mocking expression:

"Officer, for everyone's safety, are you also planning to handcuff him?"

"..."

Rick could only pretend not to hear Mor's taunts and turned to walk towards Jim, who was not far away.

Jim immediately looked at him nervously, wondering what they had decided to do with him.

"Follow me..."

Where are you taking me?

"...a safe place."

Rick pulled Jim up from the ground without saying a word, took Jim to the RV, arranged for him to rest inside, and temporarily isolated him from everyone else.

......noon.

They buried all the bodies of the victims and held a simple memorial service before returning to camp.

Everyone was exhausted, both physically and mentally, because they had been busy since last night and were preparing to go back and rest.

Rick and his family walked at the back. He first saw Carl off, and then talked to Lori about how he had failed to persuade Sean earlier.

"Sean blames me for not staying behind..."

Rick said, turning to look into Lori's eyes and asking:

"......And you?"

"..."

Lori looked at him, but her mouth opened and she couldn't say anything.

Rick felt a pang of sadness at the hesitation in his wife's eyes.

But he still believed he had done nothing wrong; if it weren't for the bag of guns they brought back, perhaps no one in the camp would have survived last night.

He could only defend himself by saying, "We have guns now, we're powerful..."

"We have fewer people now, and we're weaker..."

"I understand if you want me to say you did the right thing."

Lori looked at her husband, who had also opposed their move to the city, hesitated for a moment, and continued:

"But all I can say is that you both have your reasons, that's all I can say..."

"What about the CDC?"

“Rick…”

"We're in a dilemma now. We need rescue, and the wounded need help..."

Seeing that his wife wasn't firmly supporting him, Rick asked, puzzled:

"I don't understand why anyone is still hesitating?"

"Look at everyone's expressions, and then look at me. Everyone is terrified."

Lori's emotions began to fluctuate at this point; only in front of her husband could she unreservedly show her vulnerable side.

"If someone makes a decision based on their intuition and sends us to the city, you won't be able to find us..."

Tell me the absolute truth...

"..."

Rick looked at his wife's worried and bewildered expression and was speechless.

He couldn't give a definitive answer as to whether the CDC was truly safe; it was simply an opportunity, an opportunity much closer than that of Benningburg.

He hesitated for a long time before looking earnestly into Lori's eyes and saying:

"I love you! That's the only thing I'm sure of."

"I love you too!"

Rick's sudden confession made Lori laugh through her tears, and she responded with a touched expression.

Then, the two embraced, their hearts drawing incredibly close to each other.

......

“Amy…”

Andrea suddenly called out to Amy, who was trying to sneak away. This girl now spends all her free time sticking to Lee Allen's side.

"What's up?"

Amy stopped and turned to look at her sister, asking in confusion.

"..."

Andrea gazed quietly at her sister's face, her expression complex.

She was surprised to find that the little girl who used to always be around her had quietly grown into a young woman.

Realizing that her younger sister was gradually becoming less dependent on her and that one day she would leave her side to pursue everything she wanted, just like she had done back then.

"Today is your birthday..."

Andrea suppressed her slight sense of loss, took out something wrapped in red paper, handed it to Amy, and said with a smile:

"There's no birthday cake left, so this is for you..."

"Ah...is it a gift? What is it?"

Amy took it with a look of surprise, then immediately unfolded the red paper, revealing what was inside...

It's a cute mermaid-themed gemstone and gold necklace that looks very expensive.

Wow... a mermaid! So beautiful!

Amy held the necklace in her hands and examined it carefully, her eyes shining slightly, clearly she really liked the gift.

"I found this in the city, and I knew you'd like it..."

Seeing her sister's reaction, Andrea smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you, I really like it."

Amy couldn't help but rush over and hug Andrea tightly. She didn't let go for a while, then looked at her solemnly and said:

"...I forgive you!"

"hold head high?"

Andrea looked puzzled, not understanding what Amy meant.

"Have you forgotten everything?"

Amy looked at her sister and said with a serious expression:

“Every year on my birthday I call you in advance, and you always say you’ll definitely be home, but you’ve never kept your promise.”

"..."

"You know what? Every time I make a birthday wish, I always wait, staring at the front door, hoping you'll suddenly open it and come in. But you never show up even when the candles are almost burned out. You have no idea how sad I was then..."

"So my wish every year is: I hope my sister can come back for my birthday next year..."

Amy wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, then forced a smile and said somewhat jokingly:

"It seems my wish from last year has finally come true, but the price was a bit too high, it was the end of the world."

"..."

Hearing Amy's story, Andrea said with some guilt:

"I'm sorry, I... I just..."

However, she couldn't find a reason to defend herself. Although she was sincere every time she promised to go home, she always broke her promise for other reasons.

During her most carefree and unrestrained years, she didn't take her promise to the children to heart at all...

"Okay, okay, I've already told you I forgive you..."

Amy, instead, comforted her sister, saying with a happy smile:

"I really like the necklace, thank you..."

"..."

However, before Andrea could react, Amy turned and ran off in a flurry.

"Uh......"

Andrea watched her sister's retreating figure, shaking her head and smiling wryly, knowing that she must have gone to see Lee Allen again.

"..."

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly decided to go talk to Susan and ask her for some tips on firearms.

After all, she's my younger sister, so as her older sister, I should try my best to help her.
