"That's impossible!"

James shouted loudly.

"I'm telling you the truth!"

Li Chenzhou shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Besides, although I can't prove what happened during the day, at least for tonight, your men should know about me lighting a bonfire! Oh! That bonfire should still be burning now. If you're interested, when you get to the ground, maybe you can see it with your own eyes!"

After Grey Bear translated Li Chenzhou's words, Mike quickly said:

"Yes, General! This Daxia person did have a bonfire party on the roof. Of course, he didn't roast any food, but he didn't attract those damn zombies either! Moreover, we didn't hear any movement when we went out today!"

"General James, I'd like to know, is it just as dangerous outside this city?"

Hearing Mike's words, James was visibly shocked, and Li Chenzhou took the opportunity to ask.

"I don't know!"

James shook his head:

"Because we've never been out there! Although we've met other people, they don't know any news from outside either!"

"Then... Mr. James, if you're willing, I think my companion and I can help you take a look outside the city, but I need you to give me a guide!"

Li Chenzhou spoke again.

"No! We've had enough people die already. I can't allow any more deaths! It's too risky. I can't agree to it!"

James shook his head gently:

"I know what you mean, but my men can't afford to lose any more. They're all good lads!"

"General James, it's precisely because your men can't afford to lose any more that I'm making this suggestion!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head and pointed at Mike:

"Just like this gentleman said, if you stay here, even if the zombies don't find you, rheumatism and mushrooms will take your lives! And...

Most importantly, the reason I need your guide is just to make you believe it. Because even if my companion and I leave and come back to tell you that the road outside the city is safe, you might not be able to make a decision. Am I right?"

Faced with Li Chenzhou's question, James was speechless. Indeed, although Li Chenzhou and he were both human, he had no ill intentions towards Li Chenzhou. He had called him over just to ask about the situation Li Chenzhou understood!

But of course, he wouldn't believe Li Chenzhou. Otherwise, he could even order everyone to break through and try to leave the city right now.

James himself knew that staying here was a dead end. Although they could hold on now, they definitely wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. Not to mention anything else, just the batteries for the emergency lights weren't enough.

Actually, there wasn't a need to light so many emergency lights here now, but among these survivors, only thirty or so were soldiers under his command. The rest were ordinary civilians.

They didn't have such good psychological fortitude. Once the lights were turned off and they were left to live in the dark, who knew what they would do? It wouldn't even be surprising if someone went crazy.

"Sir! I don't know this guy, but he's Grey Bear's boss. I've worked with Grey Bear before, so I trust Grey Bear! Since he's taking Grey Bear out, I don't think he'd risk his own life. So I'm willing to be their guide!"

Before James could give an answer, Mike volunteered:

"Moreover, he's right! This isn't a place where we can survive. It's only suitable for rats. If we stay here, we'll eventually die. So, I'd rather take a gamble. Compared to rheumatism, I'd rather be killed by zombies, even though it hurts more, it suits my identity! I'm a soldier! Sir!"

"Are you sure?"

James turned to look at Mike and asked with a serious expression.

"Honestly, I'm not sure, but we have no choice, do we? Sir!"

Mike shrugged his shoulders:

"Anyway, people die every day, either me or someone else. So why don't we try trusting these two Easterners? Do you have a better way?"

"Alright! I don't have a better way!"

James looked at Mike and finally nodded. Then, he looked at Li Chenzhou and said:

"Young man from the East, the way you appeared is very strange. Maybe God sent you, so we choose to believe you!"

"If you're talking about your god who is said to be able to resurrect the dead, then I think you've misunderstood!"

Li Chenzhou looked at James and shook his head:

"I'm definitely not sent by him, because I don't like his way of resurrecting the dead!"

As he spoke, Li Chenzhou pointed to the ceiling, meaning the zombies above. Aren't zombies just the resurrected dead?

"Young man! You can't be sure that's what he did!"

James shook his head.

"You can't be sure that's not what he did either! Can you?"

Li Chenzhou said.

"Alright! Maybe it's foolish to discuss this with you! Stubborn Easterner!"

James finally stopped arguing with Li Chenzhou and chose to give up. He shook his head and said:

"I think the important thing now is whether this city has really become safe, as you said, not to discuss why those zombies can stand up!"

"You're right, General! So, we can set off now!"

Li Chenzhou nodded.

"Are you sure you want to leave right away?"

James frowned. Li Chenzhou's eagerness seemed to make him feel that something was wrong.

"Of course, it's nighttime now. You said the daytime in this city is very dangerous, didn't you?"

Li Chenzhou shrugged his shoulders.

"Alright!"

James turned to look at Mike:

"Kid, there's still time for you to back out!"

"Sir, if you could let me back out of this apocalypse, I'd be very happy to! But I don't think we have a way out anymore!"

Mike didn't show any timidity. He gave James a military salute and said loudly:

"Sir! If I don't come back, then please tell Jennifer for me that I love her!"

"Jennifer died a week ago! You idiot!"

The corner of James's mouth twitched.

"Alright! Then I can go and tell her that myself! Then goodbye, sir!"

With that, Mike turned around and waved to Li Chenzhou and Grey Bear:

"Let's go!"

Li Chenzhou and Grey Bear looked at James. James nodded to them:

"Good luck, boys. You need it now!"

"We all need it!"

Grey Bear muttered, then looked at Li Chenzhou and translated:

"He said we might not die!"

"Tell him to remove the 'might'!"

Li Chenzhou nodded to James and said. Then, he turned around and chased after Mike. Grey Bear also waved to James, but didn't translate Li Chenzhou's words. Anyway, if they could meet again, it wouldn't matter whether he said those words or not. If they couldn't...
