#114 - Chapter 114 Do You Know the Way?
“Why should I help you?”
“There are plenty of people who want to be my workhorse.”
For a moment, Lin Zhijie didn't know how to respond.
He also knew that in this world, after the apocalypse, surviving humans were so worthless.
He was silent for a few seconds.
Lin Zhijie raised his head, intending to reveal his secret. Since he had already demonstrated his speed to Li Fei and the others, there was no need to hide it anymore.
“I run faster than others! After the apocalypse, my running speed has been constantly increasing, already surpassing that of former world champions.”
“If you help me rescue my sister, I can find more food and supplies for you in the future!”
Qin Jin sneered upon hearing this.
He already knew what Lin Zhijie was talking about.
He continued to look coldly at the man before him, not showing any special regard just because he had said this.
Evolved individuals were indeed rare, but that didn't mean they didn't exist elsewhere.
With a larger base of surviving humans, more localized evolved individuals would eventually emerge slowly.
The Lin Zhijie before him was not unique.
Qin Jin didn't show any initiative or give him a good look just because he was a leg-type evolved individual like himself in his previous life.
Anyway, whether this person was willing or not later, he would be brought back to the base.
If he didn't cooperate later, he could be used as an experimental subject. He could afford that little bit of food.
It was already past four o'clock, and it wouldn't be long before dark. The zombies in the night were even fiercer than before. If they didn't return to the temporary base, there might be some trouble.
So he didn't want to agree to this person's request to save someone.
“Run fast? Can you run faster than my bullet?”
“You want us to risk our lives right now with just this little value? You're dreaming!”
Qin Jin waved the gun in his hand in front of him, saying expressionlessly.
He now had a general understanding of the relationship between this man and the others.
Since they weren't friends, it would be much easier to handle.
He didn't like this kind of group that set traps to trick other survivors out of their food, even if it was for survival.
Lin Zhijie didn't expect that the conditions he thought were weighty would be easily dismissed by the leading man before him.
He didn't know what to do for a moment.
If his sister wasn't rescued today, he was certain, absolutely certain, that something he couldn't imagine would happen. Coupled with the original infected wound, he wondered if she could survive tonight.
If he had chosen to temporarily abandon his sister and escape alone before, he had already mustered all his courage.
Now that he had encountered a group of armed and powerful people, he saw hope.
He didn't want to face another choice of giving up.
Even if he gambled everything.
Unfortunately, everything he had still didn't seem to be enough in the eyes of the person opposite him, and he didn't get the other person's pity and help.
Qin Jin didn't want to continue talking nonsense with these people.
Now that he had figured things out, he should hurry up and finish the job and then stroll back to the temporary camp.
Tonight was the first night to spend the night outside after the acid rain, so he had to be careful to defend himself. Plus, with more important things to do tomorrow, it would be good to catch an evolved individual and take him back after strolling around today.
Lin Zhijie, who was originally in a state of doubting his life, saw Qin Jin starting to walk back and became anxious.
He hurriedly thought about what else he had that was worth the other party's help.
In a hurry, he didn't care whether the things he thought of in his mind were valuable or not, and his mouth quickly spat out words.
“I graduated from Jiangcheng University and used to be a sports teacher in a middle school in Jiangcheng. I currently have 350,000 Hua币 in savings. Today, I found 50 pounds of rice in a nearby wholesale market. 30 pounds were snatched by this group, and I hid 20 pounds. I am willing to offer it all! If you are interested, I can go there again to help you find more food!”
“Also, my sister studies at Shuimu University in Jing City (one of China's Top 2 universities). Before the apocalypse, she was still doing research on microcomputer applications and numerical control as a graduate student! She has assisted in completing several SCI articles with high gold content before!”
“My feet run very fast. As long as you can help me rescue my sister today, I will definitely scout some dangerous places for you in the future! I can be your scout to take risks! I beg you!”
Lin Zhijie didn't bother to think about how much valuable information he was saying. He could only pour out everything he thought of, just to get the person in front of him to stop and help him!
He really had no choice. Even if he shook off Li Fei and the others again and went back to the community, with his current body, he couldn't beat the siege of many people over there, and he still couldn't save his sister.
At most, he would find a chance to take revenge in the future.
This also meant that his sister would definitely die!
Li Fei and the others, who had been afraid to move around, were also very nervous.
They didn't know what to do. After being exposed and beaten up, they had been under the control of the combat team's guns.
Seeing Lin Zhijie constantly begging this group for help, they became anxious.
What if this group was really willing to help him? Wouldn't they be in trouble then!?
“These officers! Please don't listen to his nonsense. We are also willing to serve you. We have eight or nine adult males! We can definitely become an important force for you! If you don't need us, as long as you can let us leave, we are also willing to offer food and medicine!”
This was a very sincere pledge of allegiance in his opinion.
If this group took a fancy to them and accepted them, it wasn't impossible for them to join. Looking at the dark gun muzzles, various pistols and machine guns, they knew that this group was strong, and joining them shouldn't be too bad.
Even if they didn't want them, it didn't matter. They were willing to take out food and medicine in exchange for freedom.
Qin Jin, who had originally turned around and prepared to walk towards the car, suddenly stopped.
Just as Lin Zhijie's heart was ashen.
When Li Fei and the others were overjoyed.
He turned around, his eyes slightly bright.
He didn't look at Li Fei and the others, but looked at Lin Zhijie and said to him.
“What did you just say? What does your sister study?”
Lin Zhijie was stunned.
He thought that Qin Jin had stopped because of Li Fei and the others.
But he didn't expect that he was talking to him and asking about his sister's situation.
But it didn't prevent him from discovering that things had taken a turn for the better!
He suppressed his excitement and quickly repeated his sister's situation again:
“My sister studies at Shuimu University! She is doing research on microcomputer applications and numerical control! She told me that she has taken on many side projects with her tutor to optimize the production systems of outside companies!”
Pa!
Qin Jin clapped his hands, making a loud noise.
His previously expressionless face showed a slight smile, and he slowly walked towards Lin Zhijie.
He took the initiative to extend his hand, pulled up Lin Zhijie, who had been kneeling on the ground, and said to him kindly:
“Very good!”
“Then I have another question.”
“Do you know the way to rescue your sister?”
