CHAPTER XVII

"Zach, listen to me. I don't know what happened between you and your father, but I have to find him. If you know his whereabouts, I beg you to tell me, it's important to me. Can you understand? ”

Zack's attitude made it very difficult for Henry, and he could only "move with emotion and reason", hoping that he could cooperate with him.

"Tell me why you're looking for him?"

Zach thought for a moment, then looked at Henry "jokingly".

"Alas... All right... Actually, it's not that I'm looking for him, it's the military looking for him, and I'm just carrying out the orders of my superiors..."

Henry knew that he wouldn't be able to find out what Corey was going to do without telling Zack the reason, so he had to tell the truth.

"Hasn't he been working for the military? Why doesn't even the military know his whereabouts now? ”

Zach scoffed.

"I don't know about that, my mission is to find him. And then hand him over to his superiors, that's all. I would never have told you that, but..."

Henry sighed and said helplessly.

"Alright, I'll tell you the truth. I don't know where he's gone, he hasn't contacted me in years..."

Zach did not continue to be difficult for Henry.

"Are you telling the truth?"

After listening to Zach's words, Henry obviously didn't believe it.

"Believe it or not, I've said everything I need to say anyway."

Zach didn't talk nonsense, turned around and continued walking.

Henry was unwilling, but he felt that Zach was not lying.

"It looks like I'm on my own..."

Henry said to himself, looking at Zach as he walked away. Fearing for Zach's safety, he continued to follow.

It didn't go far before Henry caught up with Zach.

"I told you everything I knew, what are you going to do with me?"

Zach asked without looking back.

"Where are you going?"

Henry did not answer his question head-on.

"Where am I going to report back to you?"

Zach said impatiently.

"I just wanted to go with you, nothing else."

Henry said very "cheekily".

"Hmph, if you want to follow, just follow..."

With that, Zach walked straight away.

After a few minutes, Zach and Henry arrived at the roof of the two-story apartment.

"What are you doing here?"

Henry looked around and asked Zach with some confusion.

Instead of speaking, Zach pointed to the building opposite. Henry looked at his hand and found nothing unusual.

"I didn't see anything but zombies."

Henry squinted his eyes and looked across the side, but found nothing.

"Do you see the shop across the street? It was a dedicated ** shop with what I was looking for. ”

A smile welled up on Zach's face as he said this.

Henry next to him also saw it, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, when he turned his head to look at Zach, he noticed the expression on his face. Henry smiled knowingly, it turned out that he wanted a gun.

"You want a gun, don't you? However, there are zombies in this neighborhood, how do you get to the other side? ”

Henry looked at the zombies below, and then said to Zack.

"Who's to say I want a gun?"

Zach said curiously.

"What else can you do in the ** machine shop?"

Henry was a little confused.

"I'm not very interested in guns, and the sound of guns attracts zombies. I fell in love with a knife in the shopkeeper's collection. ”

Zach analyzed it so well that even Henry was impressed.

"Makes sense... But as I said, how do you make your way through the zombie hordes and get to the store safely? Besides, can you come out again if you go in? ”

Henry struck "mercilessly".

Henry's barrage of questions made Zach difficult, but he had a point.

"What do you think I'm doing here, aren't you trying to figure it out..."

With that, Zach gave Henry a blank look.

Henry turned his head to look at the shop, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"What if I told you I had a way?"

Henry spoke his mind, much to Zach's delight.

"What's the solution, let's hear it?"

As soon as Zach heard that Henry had a way, he immediately became interested.

"I can tell you the way, but why should I help you?"

After speaking, the corners of Henry's mouth unconsciously rose.

"Hmph, if you don't say it, forget it, I can do it myself..."

Zach says that he is on his own, but in fact he is also very "weak-hearted".

"Yourself? You're kidding, just your two hits, if you go down, you're feeding the zombies. ”

Henry "mocked".

"You..."

Zach's face flushed with Henry's anger, but he couldn't refute it.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you. I'll help you get the knife, so you owe me a favor, right? ”

Henry laughed twice, then returned to his seriousness.

"Prejudice! But you can't ask too much..."

With that, Zach reached out and wanted to shake Henry's hand.

"Don't worry, it won't."

Henry shook Zach's hand cooperatively.

"Shall we go then?"

Zach rolled up his sleeves, apparently wanting the knife very much.

"Oh, we don't even have a decent guy in our hands, how can we get there? Don't worry, wait until you get back and get ready to go. ”

Henry looked at Zach "speechlessly" and spread his hands and said.

"What do you have to prepare? Can you tell me about your plans? ”

Zach was slightly disappointed, but his eyes rolled and he said to Henry.

"Don't even think about it, I told you what if you go and have an accident alone?"

Zack's "little trick" was instantly recognized by Henry.

"Okay then... But you have to talk. ”

Zach saw that Henry "didn't take the bait", so he had to give up.

"Trust me, I won't lie to you."

Henry made a promise to Zach.

So, the two went back the same way...

By the time Henry returned to the warehouse, Ashley had been waiting for a long time.

"Where have you been? Leave without saying a word?! ”

You can see that Ashley is obviously a little angry.

"Are you worried about me?"

Henry decided to "tease" her.

"yes, I'm worried about you!"

With that, Ashley threw a piece of clothing to Henry.

Henry picked up the clothes and saw that they were his own military uniform. It's still dirty, but the hole has been repaired.

"Thank you for sewing my clothes..."

With that, Henry put his uniform back on.

"Hmph..."

Ashley turned away, still "angry".

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Seeing this, Henry quickly apologized.

"Okay, okay, tell me where you've been?"

Ashley seemed to feel a little "awkward" and returned to normal.

"I went to the roof of the building with Zack, and I found a shop with a lot of guns..."

Henry didn't tell Ashley about his "secret" with Zach.

"There should be a lot of zombies there, isn't it too dangerous?"

Ashley was concerned about Henry's safety.

"It's dangerous, but you have to go. There aren't enough supplies in the warehouse, and we must have weapons if we want to survive. It happens to be there, so it's worth a try. ”

Henry was still very happy to see Ashley worried about himself.

"Well, you're right. I'm going to have to go out and search for weapons and see if I can find some more food and water. ”

Although Ashley had worries, the situation in front of her could only make her give in.

"When you're ready for what you need, you're going."

Henry said.

"Take me with you when you go, I can help."

Ashley said he was going too.

"This..."

Hearing that she was also going, Henry hesitated.

"Do you look down on me?"

Ashley glared at Henry.

"How so? Okay, I can take you with me, but promise me that I will come back with me safely? ”

Henry knew Ashley's temper and had no choice but to agree.

"Well, I will."

Ashley looked at Henry and said seriously.

"You swear..."

Henry was still a little uneasy.

"Alas... Well, I swear! ”

Ashley looked at Henry helplessly, but Henry looked serious, so he had to stretch out three fingers.

"Oh, yes. I'm going to take Zack with me when I go out this time, this guy is good! ”

Henry added, not forgetting to praise Zach.

"It's... Well..."

Ashley initially disagreed, but then she agreed.

"Okay, that's all. You go and prepare, and then wait for my news. ”

Henry instructed.

"Okay!"

With that, Ashley left.

After sending Ashley away, Henry began to prepare.

Suddenly, the tablet on his body shook, and there was important news.

Henry walked to the dark part of the warehouse, and after making sure that there was no one around, he took out the tablet and looked at it.

"Corey. Stan. Military scientists and weapons scientists in the Hailan District have participated in the research of new types of weapons many times..."

Henry already knew the information, so he swiped down.

"Update: Corey. Stan was recently seen at a military factory on the border of Buffalo, accompanied by a unit of our Army. Unfortunately, they were attacked by a large number of zombies and trapped in the military factory. And your location is the closest, and the headquarters hopes that you can quickly go to support and bring Corey back to the military base in the North City safely. ”

Seeing this information, Henry was mixed.

At this time, a request for a video connection was sent from the tablet. Henry didn't hesitate and connected directly.

A female officer appears on the screen, dressed in a military uniform, sitting behind a desk.

The pretty face didn't have any smile and looked at Henry with a serious face.

"Lieutenant Henry, you must have an idea of the general situation. Corey is very important to the military, so please bring him back safely. His existence is very important, and I hope you can understand it. In addition, you can recruit team members freely in this rescue mission, and the military will not treat you badly after the mission is completed. We keep in touch at all times, and if there is anything we need, I will try to accommodate it. Finally, I wish you success! ”

When the female officer had finished speaking, she told Henry that her name was Tina.

"Yes! Sir! I can't make any promises, I can only do my best..."

Henry felt that the situation there was not very optimistic, so he could not make a commitment.
