Chapter 5 Final Agreement

 "Dad, I'm sorry."

Kelly lay on Gu Hao's shoulder, feeling very depressed. She felt that she had become a burden to her father.

"If it weren't for me..."

Gu Hao interrupted: "Silly boy, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now."

The death of his wife was a far more serious blow to Kyle than outsiders saw. It was only because of the existence of his daughter Kelly that he was able to bounce back.

Without Kelly, Kyle might have become a walking zombie, smoking, drinking, and even taking those addictive drugs, and degenerating for the rest of his life.

Kelly is what Kyle lives by for the rest of his life.

Gu Hao is very sober. He is still the same person. It cannot be denied that he is affected by Kyle's memory to a certain extent.

But that's because Kyle's beliefs do not conflict with his. Otherwise, even if he inherited the memory of a gangster, he would not be able to kill innocent people.

Gu Hao carried Kelly on his back and walked for who knows how long...

The rain became lighter, and a trace of white light slowly appeared in the distant sky, which was the glory before dawn.

If it weren't for the heartbreaking roars that came from behind from time to time, everything would be developing in a good direction.

The people on the highway have probably been eaten dry.

In the middle of the night after escaping, scattered zombies caught up with them one after another. If they hadn't had guns in hand, they wouldn't be alive now.

But even if Kyle's marksmanship is superb and his hit rate is extremely high, the bullets will eventually run out.

Nowadays, there are not many bullets left in the pistol, and Gu Hao dare not think about what he will use to fight zombies when the bullets are exhausted.

Kyle's physical fitness is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people, but if he fights zombies with bare hands, even if he wins, can he guarantee that he will remain unscathed?

Once injured, it will become infected!

The sun breaks through the night, and the dawn breaks through the sky.

Gu Hao could not see the miracle, so he could only continue to escape with a heavy heart.

"Tu tu tu tu..."

A burst of gunfire was particularly harsh in the early morning mountains.

Gu Hao judged that this was not the sound that a civilian pistol or shotgun could make, but a military submachine gun.

"Army?"

Gu Hao's eyes lit up, is there really a miracle?

If there is an army blockade ahead, as long as you join up with the army, you can get rid of the zombie threat at least in the short term.

Gu Hao followed the source of the gunfire and came out of the woods and saw two figures in the distance.

The two men were wearing white protective suits and gas masks. Their faces were invisible. They both held a machine gun in their hands, and a line of defense was set up behind them.

Gu Hao was overjoyed, he must be from the federal army.

He carried Kelly on his back, quickened his pace, and ran towards the two figures in the distance.

However, as he ran, Gu Hao's pace became slower and slower.

Finally, he stopped a hundred meters away, his eyes full of sadness.

On the road ahead, corpses are lying.

In this world, people infected by zombies will mutate their limbs and become crawling monsters.

Among the corpses on the ground, only a few limbs were mutated, and most of them were the corpses of ordinary people.

They died with their eyes open and fell on the dead end road called hope.

Is it ironic?

Maybe.

Unexpected, but reasonable.

When Gu Hao saw the corpses here, he already understood that the federal army had no intention of leaving anyone alive.

Because people in the Federation are not sure whether direct contact is the only way to infect zombies.

Maybe the air can spread?

It’s just that the infection speed is not that fast.

Any resident who escapes from the town may become a source of infection.

Including him and Kelly...

The Federation does not dare to gamble, so they would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.

Okay, this is very American!

"Neither my daughter nor I have been infected, really not..."

Gu Hao begged loudly.

But no matter what he said, those two people were like cold machines, indifferent.

"If we don't go out, we will go back..."

Gu Hao slowly retreated step by step, even though there were countless zombies in the forest behind him.

"Please, please let us go..."

In exchange, the opponent raised his machine gun.

Gu Hao completely understood that his pleading was worthless, his eyes flashed with madness, and he quickly threw Kelly to the ground.

Kelly fell to the ground. She hadn't even figured out the situation yet, her eyes were full of confusion.

"Bump! Bump!"

"Tu tu tu tu..."

"Tu tu tu tu..."

There were piercing gunshots and fire splashing, and after a moment, everything returned to calm.

The two figures in the distance both had a bullet hole in their gas masks and were lying in a pool of blood.

"Plop..."

In confusion, Kelly felt a dark shadow pressing on her body, and warm liquid dripped down her face.

"Dad...Dad? Dad...Dad?"

Blood dyed Kelly's world red. She called out to her father in confusion, but got no response.

Kelly finally realized something, and her young body tried her best to turn her father over.

Kelly shook Gu Hao's body and cried loudly: "Dad! Dad!!"

"You promised Kelly that you would go to the sea with Kelly next summer...Dad...you promised..."

Looking at Kelly, whose face was covered in blood, Gu Hao had a lot to say, but couldn't say anything.

The severe pain coming from his body was eating away at his spirit all the time.

Gu Hao knew that there was not much time left for him.

"Kelly, don't cry..."

Gu Hao endured the pain, used up the last bit of strength in his body, raised his right hand slightly and stretched out his little finger.

"Kelly... promise... dad... no matter what... he will... live... well... strong... okay...?"

"If Kelly agrees, will dad get better?" Kelly asked crying.

Gu Hao didn't answer, but his eyes began to blur, looking at the slightly trembling little finger.

Kelly slowly stretched out her little finger, and Gu Hao smiled.

"Pull...hook...hang...for a hundred years...not allowed...to change..."

The two little fingers hooked together under the intermittent agreement.

"The lie...is..."

Just,

In the end, Gu Hao failed to finish the agreement.

"Liar! Big liar! Big liar——!!!"

At the last moment, Gu Hao vaguely heard the heart-wrenching cry of a little girl.

……

Gu Hao felt that his body was light and his soul seemed to be sucked away by something.

He was curious, is this what death feels like?

Why does he feel that his thinking is clearer now than before his death?

Before Gu Hao could dig deeper, a cute voice sounded in his ears.

"The simulation is over, and the calculation of the host's simulation score for this time begins..."

Gu Hao realized that he was not really dead, death was just the end of the simulation.

"Calculation completed..."

Gu Hao was still a little excited when he scored for the first time.

"The evaluation of this simulation host is: A scumbag who cannot survive a day will get 13 simulation points."

What?

Is he a scumbag who can’t survive a day!?

"Achievement: Kelly survived and gained 2000 simulation points."
Chapter completed!
