Chapter 368 What the Hell?

The meeting in the banquet hall lasted for more than an hour. By the time everyone returned to their rooms, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening and it was pitch dark outside.

With the help of the flashlights, everyone tidied up their things and went to bed to rest.

After a day of running around, people were already exhausted, not to mention the chaos that happened at night. Many people fell asleep almost as soon as they lay down.

In Nick's room.

Feeling the elasticity of the bed beneath him, Nick twisted his body comfortably. He hadn't slept on such a comfortable bed for a long time.

The girl beside him exuded a faint fragrance, and he could clearly feel the hot air coming out of Lucy's nose.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

He was sure that Lucy was not asleep at all, not only because of her slightly heavy breathing, but also because he himself did not feel sleepy at all.

"Nick..."

"uh-huh?"

"What are your plans next? Are you going to stay or leave with Mor and the others?"

“…”

Nick looked up at the darkness in front of him and responded blankly, but after hearing Lucy's question he hesitated and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I don't know either... In this world, does it matter where you go?"

These words seemed to have touched Lucy's nerves, and her voice suddenly became excited.

"Why is there no difference? As long as you are alive, you will always meet like-minded people, right? As long as there are people, there is hope."

"So you want to leave with Moore and the others?"

"It's not me, it's you and your family who have to leave."

"Why? I don't think they want to leave here."

"Because you killed Tina's brother."

"What!

? "

Nick was so startled that he almost jumped out of the bed.

But Lucy let out a breath and finally said this.

Just now on the first floor, when he heard Tina say that her brother was also in the supermarket, he realized something was wrong. He had been holding back until now because he wanted to persuade Nick and the others to leave here together.

"Didn't you notice who attacked you?"

"You mean the people we killed were..."

"That's right. The girl named Tina downstairs just now also said that his brother was there. No matter who killed the man, once this matter is exposed, they will immediately fall out."

"Besides, that place is not far from the hotel. They will find it sooner or later. Even if they don't find it, how can you guarantee when Tina will go to find her brother? Then the matter will be exposed."

"So we have to leave here as soon as possible. Tomorrow morning, go find Moore and tell him about this."

well.

Nick covered his face, he felt a terrible headache, this matter was so disgusting, for a moment he didn't know whether he should tell others.

…

The next morning.

There was a faint glow at the junction of the sea and the sky. The sound of waves outside the window rhythmically hit the shore, accompanied by the chirping of seabirds, like a slow-paced song.

Travis' eyelids trembled slightly, then he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up as if he had been electrocuted.

Wheezing! Wheezing!

He breathed deeply and looked at everything around him in confusion.

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have lost control last night, and the bastard who took Chris away lied to him in person.

"Yeah, Chris, damn it!"

When I thought about Chris being alone outside, an inexplicable feeling of anxiety emerged uncontrollably.

I jumped out of bed and found that there was a figure next to me. I almost didn't notice him because he was covered with a quilt.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Madison.

Looking at his wife's messy hair, it was obvious that she had been busy for a long time. She should have gone to bed just before dawn, otherwise she would have woken up long ago with such a loud noise.

With a slightly apologetic look at his wife, Travis tiptoed out of the room.

The two young men were locked in a room on the first floor. This was probably a former accountant's room. The doors and windows had all been reinforced, and the window was blocked by metal bars as thick as a finger. Even the door had double layers.

It was Madison's suggestion that the two be imprisoned here. After all, they were suspected of murder. Although killing has become a common thing in the apocalypse, no one wants to live under the same roof with a murderer.

Travis had just closed the door when he heard someone coming from the other side of the corridor. It was Alyssa.

"Travis! You're okay, that's great!"

Travis forced a smile and reached out for a hug.

"Is mom in there? I need her help."

"Oh, Madison slept too late last night, let her rest for a while. By the way, there is something I want to ask you. Where are those two people yesterday? I need to find them to ask about Chris's whereabouts."

He only mentioned Madison briefly and immediately changed the subject to the two young men.

"You don't want to kill them, do you?"

"Of course not. I was just blinded by anger yesterday. I won't do that now. I just want to ask where Chris is."

Elisa did not doubt him and nodded in understanding, then told him the location of the room where the two were held.

After Travis left, Alyssa was about to leave when she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Alisa, give me a hug!"

The voice was so familiar that I knew who it was without even turning around.

"Look who's here, oh, it's our Mr. Nick."

"Come on, sister. I thought you would just give me a hug. Are you so cold now?"

Looking at Nick's playful smile, for a moment she felt that everything was back to the past, until a girl walked out from behind Nick.

"Hi, I'm Luciana, you can call me Lucy."

"Alyssa, thank you for saving my brother. If it weren't for an idiot like you, he would have died out there soon."

Nick was not annoyed when he heard this. Arguing with his sister had become his instinct. In the past, they would quarrel whenever he was at home. However, even though the quarrels were sometimes very fierce, both sides knew that the other cared about them.

So when Nick was at Lucy's camp, he often missed his sister. Now that they met again, he couldn't help but start showing off.

"You don't know how powerful I am. Let me tell you, even if everyone in the world dies, I, your brother, will still be alive and well."

"Okay, stop blowing. What's wrong?"

"Oh, I want to talk to my mother about something."

"She's still sleeping, what's wrong?"

"It's quite urgent. Let's wake her up."

As he said this, he knocked on the door. Seeing no response for a long time, he grasped the door handle and pushed it, only then did he realize that the door was not locked.

"Mother?"

…

Moore slept very well last night. It was the most comfortable night's sleep he had had since leaving Ideal Town. He also woke up early.

Looking at the shimmering sea outside the window, Moore stretched lazily in a good mood. Just as he put on his clothes, he heard a knock on the door.

Dong Dong Dong!

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Lucy."

Moore opened the door unhappily and looked at the somewhat nervous Luciana with a raised eyebrow.

"What's wrong?"

"Can you please come over here for a moment? Nick wants to see you."

I followed Lucy all the way to Madison's room. As soon as I entered the room, I saw Nick waving at Lucy. The latter understood and walked out and closed the door.

Moore looked at the scene in confusion. Just as he was about to ask something, he heard Nick speak first.

"Sir, would you mind if you had a few more helpers?"

"What the hell?"
