Chapter 141: Do You Want to Stay?
“I don’t know. I don’t have a family.”
Alice’s tone was low.
Everyone knew what they were going to do, except for her.
“What about you, Occam? Do you want to come back with me? We need a free warrior like you.” Matt sent Occam an invitation directly.
Their organization was a global organization dedicated to fighting malicious companies like the umbrella company.
He believed that with Occam’s ability, he would definitely be put in an important position if he went back with him.
“No, I need to stay.”
Occam rejected Matt’s invitation. Since this was the world with biohazard, it was very likely that it was no longer the world he lived in.
In a zombie tide that was about to sweep the world, he needed to become stronger.
There was only one way for him to become stronger: kill zombies.
To others, the extremely dangerous Raccoon City was just nutrients for him to level up.
There was no place on the entire Blue Planet that was more suitable for him than this place.
“What?! Didn’t you say that there would be a biohazard and zombies everywhere here? Why are you still staying?”
Alice, Chad, and Matt were all dumbfounded.
Normally, people would take the initiative to stay away from danger. However, when it came to Occam, he actually took the initiative to face the danger. They could not really understand that.
“I’m different from you guys. I can’t go back anymore.”
Occam knew this was not his original world. Even if he returned to Kyushu, he probably would not see his family.
Since that was the case, he might as well stay and become stronger.
“I’ll stay too.”
Alice saw Occam’s deep expression and thought that he had no family like her. She could relate to him. Coupled with the fact that she had no home, to begin with, she decided to stay with Occam.
Of course, what she did not know was that Occam actually had a family. They were just not in this world.
“With your ability, you indeed don’t need to be afraid of anything. Since you’ve decided, I won’t force you. If you change your mind, you can look for me.”
Seeing that Occam was determined to stay, Matt knew he could not persuade him.
Moreover, with Occam’s ability, he could even kill crawlers. An army could not do anything to him. Occam would not be in danger here, so he dismissed the thought of continuing to persuade Occam.
He gave Occam an address and left.
Of course, Occam did not let Matt take away all the viruses and antidotes.
He still left behind a syringe of virus and that of the antidote.
Matt was puzzled. He could understand why Occam had kept the antidote. He could guard himself against being bitten by zombies.
However, it was strange for him to take the virus.
However, he did not ask further. Without Occam, he would not have been able to bring any of them out.
After Chad said goodbye to Occam, he left.
“You don’t have to stay,” said Occam as he watched Chad and Matt disappear down the street.
He stayed behind to upgrade and become stronger, but Alice stayed behind with no gains other than danger.
Occam did not understand why Alice insisted on staying.
He did not think that he had the charm to make people fall in love at first sight.
He had only known Alice for less than a day, so it was too much to say that they were in love.
“Honestly, I don’t know why, but I just want to stay.”
Alice actually did not know how she felt about Occam. Perhaps it was out of her loneliness, or perhaps she really did have nowhere else to go.
Whatever the reason, her sixth sense told her that the world was about to change. It was safer to stay with Occam.
This mysterious sixth sense saved her time and time again when she was on missions. She believed in her intuition.
“Alright! In that case, let’s go get a room!”
Seeing that he could not convince Alice, Occam stopped persuading her.
She was very capable, but she had not awakened yet. It was good for her to follow him.
Of course, the most important thing now was that he was very tired. He needed to find a hotel to rest and wait for the zombie apocalypse.
“Get a room?”
Alice froze at Occam’s words. She thought of something and her cheeks burned.
Was Occam so direct?
He wanted to get a room with her.
Although she was not a conservative person, she still felt resistant to being together with someone she had only known for less than a day.
‘What should I do? He had this request. Should I agree?’
‘No, no, no! I just met him today, how could I agree? I’m not that kind of woman.’
‘Then reject it. Yes, reject it directly.’
‘No! If I reject, will he be unhappy?’
‘What should I do? Should I reject or not?’
Alice was stunned on the spot. It was as if countless lightning bolts were interweaving in her heart. Her heart was in chaos and she was in a dilemma.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go! Do you want to sleep in the wilderness at night?”
Occam walked some distance away and found that Alice had not followed. She looked puzzled.
He did not understand what was going on with Alice. She had just said that she would follow him, but now she was stunned.
If he did not find a hotel to stay in, would he let them sleep in the wilderness?
“Ah! Oh! I… I’ll come.”
Alice hesitated for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and followed.
Since it was decided, there was nothing to hesitate about.
Although this relationship was still in the early stages, where could she find a second hero like Occam?
Since he had this need, she would sacrifice herself!
After all, Occam was the one who saved her life. It was not too much to ask for her body.
Alice, who had been hesitating, found a reason to convince herself.
Of course, the truth was that Occam had meant it literally.
He really just wanted to find a place to rest. He did not think too much about it. He did not know what she would think.
To avoid the pursuit of the umbrella company as much as possible, Occam and Alice chose to detour into the old block.
It was already evening and the surrounding street lamps were lit.
Perhaps because this was the old block, or perhaps it was because everyone was off work at night, there were few people on the streets.
“Occam, we don’t have any money!” said Alice as she looked at the distant hotel.
She only had this piece of clothing on her. She did not even have a pocket, much less money.
Alice was happy to think that they could not get a room without money, but she was conflicted when she thought about how she had to sleep on the streets without money.
“Let me think… Eh! Isn’t there an ATM over there? Let’s borrow some first!”
Occam had money, but not lighthouse currency.
As for the bank card, it did not belong to the same country. It would probably get rejected too.
However, it was fine! Wasn’t there an ATM there? They could just borrow some money to spend. Since the apocalypse was coming, who would care about this?
“Borrow money from an ATM??”
Alice was puzzled.
She could understand if Occam wanted to borrow money from a loan shark or something, but borrow money from an ATM? Did an ATM have this function? Why did she not know?
