Hua Mi didn't bother to argue with Uncle Qu; she simply opened the door and walked out. Not a single zombie was in sight.
They had all been cleared away by Hua Mi before she came in.
Uncle Qu caught up to the doorway and said to Hua Mi,
"Alright, I'll trust you this once. Go and bring in Doctor Lin and your husband and children first. We have enough people here to protect you all."
But Hua Mi didn't take his words to heart. She stepped out the door with her long blade in hand and headed straight for Captain Zhao to join the fight.
Uncle Qu watched her departing silhouette, his heart full of irritation.
He had thought Hua Mi came to them with an excuse, seeking their asylum just like Su Ruyan had done before.
Yet Hua Mi left without a backward glance. What did that mean? Did they expect them to leave their shelter and beg her to return?
Uncle Qu couldn't grasp the key point of the situation when he saw Hua Mi dancing with her blade, making her way to Captain Zhao's side.
