Limitations

Trust—Ren Anhua once again extended something worth considering.

Perhaps it was because she acted too impulsively, she often made actions that didn’t make sense after thinking about them. Looking at Liu Shi’s regrown fingers, Ren Anhua wondered again if she had a problem with her brain. It was just a meal; was it worth saving someone’s life?

But the person had already been saved. She, Ren Anhua, had a way to easily bring a person back to life but no way to restore them back to their pre-revival state. She had no choice but to let Liu Shi live. She just felt a bit at a loss, since she had exposed an ability she had been hiding all along. Still, this was just adding a bit of trouble to her plate. If these Mutual Aid Society people really developed a sense of kindness and wanted her to save a large number of people, then the problem could be solved by simply leaving.

Although Ren Anhua hated trouble, she wasn’t afraid of it. It was just that without a place to gather information about that camp, she would have to personally drag out those imposter kids one by one, making her regret that she had taken a detour.

“I don’t want the matter of my healing ability to be publicized. You all understand why, right?” Ren Anhua posed her probing question.

She needed the Mutual Aid Society to give her a clear answer to decide whether to stay or leave.

Chen Shu sped along the streets in his car. The team members were on their way back. Having escaped death, they almost all had a sense of gratitude, but along with that gratitude came a great deal of lingering fear. The lingering fear drove them. Even though they had escaped the danger, they were still speeding along as if they were running for their lives.

“Of course. We’ll keep it a secret for you.”

Ren Anhua didn’t expect Chen Shu, the kindhearted person she thought most likely to bring her a bunch of patients for her to save, to be the first to promise to keep her secret. Ren Anhua had underestimated Chen Shu. The guy she thought was just a pushover showed an unusually calm mind.

As the leader of the Mutual Aid Society, Chen Shu did indeed have some tricks up his sleeve. After Ren Anhua showed that terrifying strength, he had quickly realized that this pink-haired girl wasn’t someone he could control. Trying to force her was meaningless. It was wisest to befriend her.

Chen Shu, as an ordinary person, was able to become the leader of the Mutual Aid Society because of this composure, this vision to discern the situation.

Even though his heart was as panicked as his teammates, he was still carefully making turns down several streets. He was trying to shake off “enemies” that had never appeared.

From the moment the firecrackers sounded, Chen Shu had realized that this crisis wasn’t simple. Zombies didn’t have the brains to light firecrackers. The only explanation was that it was caused by humans.

Who would be so vicious as to put others of their own kind to death? The answer was almost on Chen Shu’s lips: the Survivor Camp.

Generally speaking, it was difficult for the Mutual Aid Society to run into the Survivor Camp when they went out to gather resources, because those guys who weren’t afraid of zombies often went out in groups, with great fanfare, making them easy to identify. As long as the Mutual Aid Society people paid attention, they basically wouldn’t run into them on their own. Leaving one or two people in charge of communications at the gathering point could also avoid the danger of being accidentally surrounded by the camp.

But this time was very unusual. According to Liu Shi and Chen Yi, they didn’t see the camp people at all. They didn’t even know where the loud firecrackers had been thrown from. They had no time to react before the zombies surrounded them. At the time, their only way out was to hide in the car and close the doors tightly. However, that way out was also a dead end, but they had no choice.

The unusually quiet ambush and the firecracker sounds without warning all made Chen Shu have a strange sense of crisis, which was inconsistent with the camp’s style. Although they never appeared, Chen Shu felt they were right behind him.

Facts proved that Chen Shu’s premonition was correct.

After making a turn down the eighth street, a young man in a purple suit kicked over an advertising sign in hatred.

“Damn it, they’re playing me!”

If Ren Anhua had been there, she would have recognized that this was the green-haired man who had escaped that day. This guy in a purple suit with green hair was originally called Cao Nengzhi, but he didn’t like this name. He preferred to call himself by the strange name “Criminal.” He was a small boss in the Second District, with a dozen people under him, who called him “Criminal Lord.” This was the name he had forced them to use.

Cao Nengzhi looked at the empty street. He knew he had lost them. That bastard Chen Shu had led them on a chase for seven streets, but in the end, he had disappeared from their sight. He was extremely angry, but he couldn’t do anything. Getting angry at a person who had disappeared was useless.

But anger couldn’t be dismissed just because he said so. This time, it was accidental and fortunate that he had run into Chen Shu’s team without being discovered by them. He had wanted to watch that bastard Chen Shu die in despair amidst the zombie horde, but that pink hair had ruined everything.

However, it wasn’t all bad news that Chen Shu and the others hadn’t died. Recently, the boss had ordered everyone to find out the location of the Mutual Aid Society’s base with all their might. If they could follow them to find it out and completely eliminate the Mutual Aid Society, which was a source of bad moods, it would be a great achievement.

But in the end, they couldn’t get either, turning a good hand into a complete mess. How could Cao Nengzhi be calm? His hatred for Chen Shu rose to another level, and he was viciously plotting in his mind how to torture that bastard to death. Only in this way could he feel better.

What Cao Nengzhi didn’t know was that he wasn’t the only one who was angry at Chen Shu at this moment. There was also a pink-haired person who had the “same name and surname” as his boss.

“What did you say?” Ren Anhua looked at Chen Shu in disbelief, as if she were looking at an incomprehensible object.

“I still can’t tell you the specific location of the camp.” Chen Shu said as he drove the car, repeating the sentence that made Ren Anhua so angry with a blank expression.

“Didn’t you see how I was cutting those brainless things like watermelons just now? You’re still afraid that I can’t beat those bastards who only know how to bully ordinary people?” Ren Anhua really didn’t expect that after showing her strength, Chen Shu would still have that stubborn attitude.

“What you did just now, the camp can do the same. Of course, I now know that you’re an Awakened, but the camp also has Awakened, and there are more than thirty of them. I have to tell you, you can’t beat them alone.” Chen Shu’s tone was still so calm, calm enough to make Ren Anhua want to punch his head to explode, then heal him, then punch his head to explode again.

Ren Anhua really wanted to tell Chen Shu that the gap between Awakened was also very large, and that she, as a Level Four expert, could easily crush those ants in the camp. But the problem was that Chen Shu didn’t understand what “ability level” was. They had no contact with the military and had no concept of these common terms formulated after the end of the world.

The communication barrier caused by the knowledge gap made Ren Anhua extremely helpless. Even if she gave this ignorant person some knowledge, Chen Shu treated it as an excuse. His vision was limited by his knowledge. Until they returned to the Mutual Aid Society’s base, Ren Anhua didn’t make Chen Shu budge.

“Those people in the camp won’t let you off just because you’re a child. As long as you’re a woman, and you’re pretty, they won’t be picky. They won’t even reject zombies.” Chen Shu was really good at angering people. After this sentence came out, Ren Anhua’s HP bar was cleared to zero, leaving her speechless.

This pink-haired person with a belly full of fire returned to her assigned residence and pulled out Shi Mu.

“Shi Mu, recite a Great Compassion Mantra for Chen Shu.”

“Ren benefactor, that’s recited for the dead.”

“I know. You pre-emptively offer him salvation.”
