Chapter 1465 is well said, don't say it again next time.
Hong Wenli didn't know, and he had no interest in knowing.
Because right now, he's being chased by zombies all over the street.
And while running, he kept shouting, "Damn it! Why are you only asking questions? Why me?!"
Watching him flee in a disheveled state, Xiao Ye asked Chen Mu:
"Boss, should we go help him? The main problem is that the letter is in his hands. If he gets eaten by a zombie, or the letter gets torn open or carried away by a zombie, we'll be in trouble."
Chen Mu shook his head and said casually, "Anyone who can survive a few bizarre scenarios isn't a waste. This Hong Wenli has some skill."
Moreover, after taking a look, I realized that the zombies weren't as powerful as they were in the movies; at best, they were just dogs that would bite.
Hong Wenli has a way to shake it off. Besides, it runs so fast, we might not be able to catch it.
Chen Mu had confidence in Hong Wenli's abilities. Plus, he was also taking a shortcut, not wanting to be out of breath chasing after him.
Hearing that the boss wasn't worried at all, Xiao Ye felt relieved.
Just as Chen Mu had said, a few minutes later, Hong Wenli appeared at the street corner, panting heavily.
"Damn it, you two... aren't you... coming up... to help me? Just standing there... watching the show... right?"
Hong Wenli, panting heavily, returned helplessly to Chen Mu's side.
It was clear he had been chased by zombies and was exhausted. Seeing Chen Mu and the other man standing there leisurely, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
We're all players, so why are the zombies chasing me?
Chen Mu patted him on the shoulder and said apologetically:
"It's not that we didn't want to help you, but you ran so fast that we were panting and running for ages, and we just couldn't catch up."
That's why I had no choice but to wait for you where you are.
Chen Mu said this without blushing or skipping a beat.
Hong Wenli was taken aback by the sincerity in his tone.
He thought back to when he was being chased by zombies. In his panicked escape, he hadn't paid attention to Chen Mu and the other person's actions.
All he remembered was running for his life, with zombies chasing him frantically.
Chen Mu and the other man might actually be helping him.
Surprisingly, during the bizarre mission, he actually had teammates who helped him. His impulsive actions led him to wrongly accuse both of them.
Thinking of this, Hong Wenli couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Oh, I see. I'm so sorry, I was running away too fast and didn't notice." Hong Wenli apologized sheepishly.
Chen Mu sighed helplessly, "Brother Hong, we're trying to help you, but you only care about yourself and not us. If we were running for our lives, we would have been left far behind by now."
Hong Wenli scratched his head sheepishly, "Boss Chen, look at the mess this has made. I'm really sorry, it's my fault. I've reflected on it, and I know what I did wasn't very kind."
Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction, "It's alright, I'm a magnanimous person, I won't hold it against you."
Xiaoye, standing to the side, was completely stunned.
Xiaoye really wanted to say—you can do it like this?
We were just standing there watching the show, but the boss's few words completely reversed our opinions.
He even made Hong Wenli feel embarrassed and apologize repeatedly.
Chen Mu didn't waste any words; he wasn't the kind of person who would hold a grudge or be unreasonable. Since Hong Wenli was able to recognize his mistake and apologize, there was no need to pursue the matter further.
After all, we're all human, and everyone makes mistakes. We should give people a chance to correct them.
Chen Mu steered the conversation back on track, asking, "By the way, how did you shake off the zombies?"
When this topic came up, Hong Wenli got excited.
Hong Wenli said, "That zombie was like a dog, it kept chasing me!"
Luckily, I'm fast enough that it can't catch me.
I was driving it around the streets in circles, trying to shake it off.
I never expected this guy's nose to be even more sensitive than a dog's!
I circled around several flowerbeds and climbed over several walls, but it still managed to catch up with me.
I reckon this zombie is actually quite intelligent, smarter than the kind in novels that just yell.
Later, when I was almost too tired to run anymore, this guy suddenly stopped chasing me!
I ran for several hundred meters and then realized it had disappeared. So I turned around to look for it, wanting to know how it had vanished.
And guess what? I saw it in the corner!
It lay on the ground, gnawing on the meat on a bone. The bone looked like it belonged to a dead stray dog; there was still quite a bit of meat on it.
It was lying there eating, so I took the opportunity to slip away and quickly came back to find you.
Just as Chen Mu had guessed, the whole process was thrilling but ultimately safe.
The letter was still firmly in Hong Wenli's hands.
Xiaoye asked curiously, "From your description, this zombie is quite powerful; it runs very fast. If it weren't for the stray dog's corpse, wouldn't you have been able to shake it off?"
Hong Wenli shook his head. "I exaggerated a bit. That zombie couldn't even keep up with my speed."
To be honest, I think I could handle a zombie all by myself. Frankly, they're not much different from wild dogs, just more frightening-looking, stronger, and somewhat intelligent.
I reckon that if I'm brave enough, I could take down a zombie on my own without any problem.
Of course, I'm not trying to show off. If a huge group comes, then there's really nothing I can do, haha.
But even with all your bad luck, you can't expect to run into a whole flock. I didn't see a single one the whole way here.
Having survived the ordeal, Hong Wenli joked around with Chen Mu.
But before he could finish his joke, Chen Mu nudged his arm.
“Well said, don’t say it again,” Chen Mu said.
Hong Wenli was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Chen Mu meant.
He followed Chen Mu's gaze and looked at the street corner on the other side of the street.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it! One glance and it's like an eternity! It almost scared Hongwen away.
Suddenly, hundreds of zombies emerged from the other street corner!
The zombies stared intently, all lined up and looking in this direction.
The apocalypse has lasted too long, and there's not much meat left to eat.
Three lively players are standing right here, like three big pieces of fresh, still-moving meat!
The allure to these zombies was no less than the bizarre sight of three piles of ghost money!
Hong Wenli slapped his forehead. "I was wondering why there were no zombies on the streets. Turns out they've all gathered there."
Chen Mu's lips twitched slightly. He didn't know if it was the bizarre scene setting or Hong Wenli's bad luck.
With so many zombies attracted, even with the protection of the Lucky Lock, it's impossible to escape unscathed.
"Gentlemen, let's get ready to run. If we don't run now, it'll be too late!" Having learned from his success, Hong Wenli was ready to make a quick getaway.
But before running, he still reminded Chen Mu and the other person. He didn't know if it was Chen Mu's earlier manipulative tactics that made him feel guilty.
"Run? Are you sure you can escape?" Xiaoye said slowly.
