CHAPTER XXVII

"Welcome to Jim's Nest!"

The man named Jim in front of him opened his arms and enthusiastically showed Henry and Ashley his "refuge".

……

Led by Jim, Henry and the two escaped from the sewers without incident.

Jim led them all the way to the place where he was hiding from the zombies. It's an antique shop in the middle of nowhere. Next to it is a three-story residential building, and it seems that there is no living breath in it.

Along the way, Jim's mouth never stopped, and the chatter made Henry's head very "big". Completely forgetting that they were hijacked, the relationship between the three of them became more like friends.

……

"Not bad, here!"

Ashley looked around the antique shop and noticed that the environment was not bad.

"That's it! Any one of the antiques here can make people eat and clothe for the rest of their lives. It's a pity that it's all a pile of rags now......"

Jim casually picked up an antique vase and talked eloquently, with a "greedy" expression on his face. But when I thought about it, the excitement was immediately replaced by disappointment.

"Don't be discouraged, you can still become a rich man when the disaster is over!"

Ashley put down the antique object in his hand and teased casually.

"Shit! It's hard to say if I'll be alive..."

Jim scolded, desperation in his words.

“……”

Ashley's face was not very good when he heard Jim's words. She found a chair to sit down and put her injured leg in a comfortable place.

"It's all antiques, so how did you get here?"

Ashley looked around and didn't see anywhere else for survival such as food and water.

"Also, how did you get to the sewers?"

Henry, who was watching the "scenery" by the window, also turned around at this time and expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Blah blah blah, b

o! You're asking me so many questions at once, which one should I answer? ”

Jim waved his hand, feeling like his mind was running out of the way.

"You can speak slowly..."

Henry also stretched out his hand and motioned to Jim not to rush.

"I was going out to look for supplies today, but I didn't take two steps before I ran into a zombie, and I hid in the sewers in a hurry..."

Jim sorted out his thoughts, then began to explain.

"Didn't you fall?"

Ashley suddenly remembered what Jim had said in the sewers, and poked him mercilessly.

“…… Well, don't worry about these details..."

Jim lost face and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"You go on!"

Henry motioned for Ashley not to interrupt Jim, then reached out and made a "please" gesture.

"O... I hid in... Oh no. When I fell, I probably fainted, lost my way, and ran into you..."

Jim tried to save his pride, but when he saw Ashley staring at him, he immediately changed his tune.

"What are you looking for? Eat and drink? ”

Ashley asked curiously.

"Sometimes I'm looking for something else..."

Jim answered her questions truthfully.

"For example?"

Henry threw out a sentence.

"Do you see the building next door?"

Jim didn't answer Henry's question, but instead pointed to the building next to him.

"What happened to that building? There's no one in there! ”

Henry followed Jim's gaze, and there were more questions in his mind.

"It doesn't really look like a person from the outside, but there are people inside."

Jim smiled mysteriously, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered.

"You haven't answered my question yet?"

Henry, apparently not interested in the topic, said indifferently.

"I stumbled upon someone there, and there were several of them. There was a woman among them, and the figure was ......."

Jim became more and more energetic, completely unaware that he had digressed.

"Ahem!"

Henry leaned against the window, his face "black". Ashley covered her mouth and laughed.

"Oh, I'm sorry... I often exchange things with them, I find them something weird, they give me food and water..."

Jim was interrupted by Henry, and the old man blushed.

"You went out alone? Aren't you afraid of danger? ”

Ashley asked curiously.

"What's the solution... If you don't go out, you'll starve to death..."

Jim spread his hands and said helplessly.

"What do they need?"

Henry pulled the topic back and asked him seriously.

"Hmm... Like underwear, shoes, condoms or something. Oh yes! I also found a radio yesterday and it still works..."

Jim snapped his fingers and told them one by one what he had gathered. Hearing the word "condom", Ashley suddenly turned his head.

"Radio? You're talking about radio, right? ”

Henry suddenly became interested, walked up to Jim and asked.

"That's right! It's the radio, what's wrong? ”

Jim didn't understand why he was so excited.

"Is the radio still in your possession now?"

Henry grabbed Jim's wrist and asked urgently.

"It's still in my hands..."

Jim was taken aback by Henry, not knowing what he was trying to do.

"Take it out, I want to listen!"

Henry's tone lost his calmness and became a little stern.

"Oh good! I'll get it for you! ”

Jim was afraid that Henry would not be good for him, so he hurriedly broke free of him and went to find the radio.

"What do you want a radio for?"

Ashley felt that Henry's mood was a little wrong, so he asked with concern.

"I want to hear what the situation is now, I want to hear what ZF has to say..."

Henry put his hand on his chin and said with a solemn face.

"yes, we're all confused until now, and we don't know what's going on..."

Ashley was equally puzzled.

"I originally wanted to ask Tina, but then I thought she might not know the truth, and even if she did, I don't think she would tell me the truth."

Henry spoke his mind, and Ashley nodded in agreement.

"Here, here, here's the radio!"

No sooner had Henry and Ashley finished talking than Jim ran over with the radio.

Henry nodded at Jim, who turned on the radio. There was a murmur inside, and Jim quickly adjusted the channel.

"Whew... Multiply... Multiply... This channel is now broadcasting a message: In view of the expansion of the infection incident, the military of Hailan District has established a "Beicheng Confinement Zone" in Beicheng District, and I hope that the survivors will go immediately! ”

After a murmur, the announcer delivered an uplifting message.

After the message was delivered, there was a murmur...

Jim and Ashley were excited when they heard the announcement. However, Henry was not the only one who was happy.

"We're saved, you hear you...... What happened to you? ”

Ashley said happily, but Henry, who was beside him, was unmoved.

"It's something to be happy about... But I still have things to do..."

Henry was not the slightest bit happy, and he thought of the "burden" he was carrying. That's right, he's going to save Corey. Stan.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you, and when you complete your mission, we'll stay in the "confinement zone", and we won't have to hide in Tibet anymore! ”

Ashley touched Henry's arm and comforted.

"It's uncertain right now, and we're not familiar with it, and you've got a leg injury. I really don't want you to risk it with me......"

Henry analyzed the situation and voiced his concerns.

"My leg is fine, don't worry!"

Ashley was afraid that he would not take him, and even stood up to signal that his leg was fine. But as soon as she stood up, the pain hit her instantly, and she couldn't even open her eyes.

"Look! And said it was fine..."

Henry said helplessly, and then helped Ashley to sit down.

"You'll recover well this time, and Jim and I will go on a mission!"

Henry thought about it for a moment and made a decision.

"Me? I'm not going! ”

Before Ashley could speak, Jim stood up against it.

"Ashley can't go with me, it's too dangerous for me to go alone, so you can only accompany me..."

Henry touched his forehead, he didn't want to take Jim either.

"No, no, no, I can't go!"

Jim waved his hand and backed, and he wanted to run out.

"With me, what are you afraid of!"

Henry, seeing that Jim was so timid, angrily grabbed him.

"I don't want to die yet!"

Jim was even on the verge of crying when he spoke. I don't know what the task is, but it must be dangerous.

"Well, I won't force you. I'm not familiar with this area, you just need to take me to the military factory, and then you'll come back. That's okay, right? ”

Henry looked at Jim helplessly, and he had to take a step back.

"I know about the military factory, but it's too dangerous there, I won't go!"

Jim still felt it was too dangerous, so he refused......
