Chapter 295

People looked in the direction of the voice and saw Negan holding a bone. He was the one who said those words just now.

The little girl's eyes sparkled, and she followed the voice and looked towards Negan who was sitting there with a smile on his face.

"Are your words convincing? Or are you willing to stay up all night and stare at him?"

"That's right. I don't agree either. No one knows if this woman is from another organization. It's not that I'm cruel, but it's too unsafe for us."

Negan was playing with the bone in his hand, and suddenly he snapped his fingers, and the bone drew an arc and fell in front of the tanker truck behind the RV.

"I will watch her in the tanker tonight, and I will be fully responsible for her later, until you agree with her. If you still feel that this woman is not trustworthy after a week, you can let her leave then. How about that?"

Yog turned his head and looked at Moore, and Alan, who had been silent beside him, also stood up at this time.

"I trust Negan. Eric and I will help him keep an eye on her and make sure she is under guard at all times."

Moore curled his lips, raised his eyebrows, spread his hands, and looked indifferent.

"OK, it's up to you to decide, but let me be clear, if the team is in any danger because of this woman, I won't be as soft-hearted as Lu, and I will punish her as I see fit."

"no problem."

Seeing the three people nodded, the others endured it even though they felt a little uncomfortable. They might not be familiar with Negan and his companions, but Maul was their instructor who had been training them since the outbreak of the apocalypse, and his words were still very effective in their hearts.

Now that the matter was settled, Negan arranged the woman aside and gave her some food. She was obviously starving, and the way she ate so voraciously made people around her shake their heads.

Negan didn't say anything, but silently placed a bottle of water next to the woman. Charlie was stunned, looked up at him, and said thank you in a vague voice.

Feeling Charlie's gratitude, Negan smiled and nodded. His eyes stayed briefly on the other's stomach. He didn't say anything, but just stayed by his side quietly.

After dinner, night came quietly. The arrival of the end of the world was a disaster for mankind, but a gift to nature. Countless corpses turned into nutrients for the soil, nourishing the wild growth of countless plants.

The loss of city lights also allows the stars in the night sky to show their original beauty.

As night fell, a bonfire lit up next to the RV, casting a fiery red glow on the faces of the people around. Even Charlie, who was originally exhausted, looked much more rosy.

The effect of the food was immediate. After eating and drinking her fill, she regained a lot of energy and spirit. At this moment, she was telling people about some forces in Texas.

"In addition to what I just mentioned, there is another largest force. From what we know so far, this force has at least several hundred people."

Charlie paused, took a sip of water, and seeing that people were looking at her, she quickly continued.

"I don't know where this force's headquarters is. They are very mysterious. The camp I stayed in before was also a place where someone ran into them when they were out, and I overheard some news while hiding in the dark."

Moore squinted her eyes and listened quietly, without any fluctuation on her face. But the little Loli next to her listened very seriously. From time to time when she heard the other party's painful memories, she would clench her fists and was very devoted.

Everyone sat by the campfire for about an hour. Charlie had introduced what she knew and asked all the questions that needed to be asked. Moore waved his hand and went to sleep.

Negan pointed at the tanker truck and motioned Charlie to go over with him.

Charlie nodded and followed him to the car. Alan called out to them from behind, and after agreeing with Negan on a time to change shifts that evening, they went back to sleep.

The two men got on the tanker truck. Charlie stared at the dark night outside the car, and suddenly turned his head and said to Negan.

"Thank you for today."

Negan chuckled and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Don't thank me. Although that little girl is still young, she is a kind girl. She is willing to speak for you. Obviously, you have touched her in some way. So what does it matter if I believe you once?"

After Negan finished speaking, he folded his arms and leaned against the car window, looking like he was going to sleep.

Charlie looked at him blankly, his heart beating a little. What did this guy mean? Didn't he say he wanted to watch me?

"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?"

Negan didn't even raise his eyelids, but just raised the corners of his mouth and said with his eyes closed.

"If you run away, then I'll have an easy week, right?"

"Then...then you will be punished?"

Hearing Charlie's question, Negan finally opened his eyes and looked at her with bright eyes, but the smile on his face did not fade.

"I just think you are trustworthy, and I am willing to trust you once. If you leave, or even come back with someone, believe me, you won't get any benefits."

After saying this, Negan closed his eyes again without paying any attention to Charlie's stunned look.

Suddenly, he felt a pair of slender hands holding his lower body. He shivered and opened his eyes again. It was Charlie who reached out his hand.

Pop.

Grabbing the other person's wrist, Negan pulled him away with a light tug, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Your name is Negan, right? Consider this my thank you gift."

As she spoke, Charlie gathered the hair that was covering her face behind her ears, revealing her face, the only part of her body that did not have many scars. Charlie had simply washed herself before, so her body was now clean. She had also changed her clothes, but she had been covering her face with her hair, so no one could see her appearance.

With the flickering firelight outside the window, Negan saw the woman's face clearly for the first time. She was not extremely beautiful, but she was above average.

Seeing that the other person was staring at his face in a daze, Charlie was about to lower his head to continue, but a big hand pressed his forehead.

“This is not what I want.”

"What?"

Negan thought about what he had done before, and suddenly felt that the other party must have misunderstood him. With a wry smile, he helped Charlie up and said.

"Listen, my Lucille, she is still waiting for me in our settlement. I didn't save you for this. Don't get me wrong, because Lucille is also pregnant. I understand how difficult it is for you, and I am willing to believe that you can endure a lot for the sake of your child. So, stay in this team with peace of mind. Maybe something surprising will happen to you in the future."

…

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Negan opened his eyes early and looked at Charlie who was still sleeping next to him. A confident smile appeared on Negan's face, and he rubbed his face and jumped out of the cab.

There were already two people cooking in the open space outside, and two others were cleaning up a few zombies that had been attracted to the outskirts of the camp.

"Negan, good morning."

The little girl who was helping with cooking looked up and saw Negan who had just gotten up. She smiled and waved her hand, pointing at the utensils in front of her, signaling him to come and eat quickly.

Negan smiled, walked over, picked up a bowl and started eating.

"Thank you for yesterday, Negan."

The little girl walked up to him in a playful manner, bowed slightly, and looked up at him.

Negan looked back at the tanker truck and found that Charlie had also woken up, had just gotten out of the car and was stretching.

The little girl picked up a bowl and ran over happily.

Things seemed to have passed peacefully, and the team soon embarked on a journey south. What awaited them was still the unknown.
