Rebirth tomorrow, I am the king of hard work, who am I afraid of?

Seeing Tianle's expression, the uncle realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed the subject.

What the uncle didn't expect was that Tianle was so shocked at this time that he was really speechless.

Seeing that Tianle didn't say anything, the uncle quickly spoke again.

"I'm also looking for someone, my brother, Lazarov. He got separated from me. He saved my life several times!"

Lazarov was really that monster. Tianle's heart was like a thousand horses galloping at this moment. The scene of being chased by Lazarov in the game was still vivid in his mind. He really didn't want to experience it again.

Tianle saw the sad look on the uncle's face and didn't know how to comfort him. He pretended to be greeting someone for the first time and started asking questions.

"Uncle, what's your name?"

Tianle took another look at the middle-aged man walking in front of him. He had one eye, brown curly hair, and was holding a Dragun rifle in his hand. He was not very tall, and was wearing a military jacket. Judging from his attire, he was most likely a member of the Empire. It was all because he had skipped many of the plots when he was going through the story, so he had no impression of many of them.

The laboratory is not behind the wooden house, so why is the uncle here?

Shouldn't we go to the laboratory to find Lazarov? However, there are no signs of mining on the mountain behind the wooden house. Tianle doesn't know where the problem lies.

It was because he never went to Hope Valley when he played the game, so he had no idea how to open the laboratory.

Why is he here? Is there a hidden plot that he doesn't know about? Tianle's memory is not very clear, and he thinks with some uncertainty.

Tianle wanted to know, but he was afraid that even if he didn’t find the laboratory in Hope Valley, the uncle might still die. The key point was that he didn’t understand the situation yet, so it was better to say less.

Everyone has things they don’t want to say, and this is not a civilized society, this is the end of the world!

Besides, since I can get into the game, the uncle may not be a pre-set NPC. What if I make the uncle unhappy and he shoots me? Life is so difficult in this apocalypse, it is not impossible for him to give me a ride?

Even if the uncle shot himself to death now, it would be impossible for anyone to stand up and give him justice. Many people are even willing to risk their lives for a bite to eat.

The two of them went up together, and the uncle also told Tianle some things about himself.

He is indeed not from the Western Continent, he is from the Snow Mountain Empire branch of the Eastern Continent.

Through the uncle's chattering, Tianle also understood the purpose of the uncle and his friends coming to the Western Continent.

It’s my fault that I didn’t even watch the plot at the beginning, so I don’t know what exactly happened.

It was originally thought that the virus broke out accidentally three months ago, but it was man-made. The reagents made by the Empire and the Academy of Science to study the "Undead Warriors" were attacked when they were escorted to Levin City. The escort vehicle suffered a devastating blow, and the virus reagents spread wildly in Levin City. In just less than half a day, more than 30 million people in Levin City were directly destroyed.

The technological civilization that humans were so proud of collapsed in an instant, and many people turned into zombies before they could even call for help.

The Empire's blockade failed to appear in time, which led to the widespread spread of the virus. In less than a day, the entire Western Continent had fallen into dire straits. The Alliance organization responded quickly. Since the infected area could not be blocked, the only option was to blockade the uninfected areas.

While the safe zone was being established, the Empire also sent out troops to clear out the infected people, and the scientist who was one of the leaders of this incident also urgently established a Science and Technology Council.

They began to understand the process of drug development. Since the previous research institute was occupied by the infected, many equipment and materials could not be brought out. While the Empire was carrying out the cleanup, it also wanted to help the Science and Technology Association to take out the most advanced equipment.

At this time, the Alliance became the last hope for all survivors in the Western Continent. After all, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, it was dangerous no matter where you were.

While the uncle was talking about the current situation on the mainland, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked back and saw Tianle following behind him. When he thought that they were abandoned, the uncle's expression became sad. This world has been turned upside down.

He and Lazarov had been abandoned by the empire. As an officer, he would be lying if he said he wasn't sad to be abandoned by the army he relied on. However, those soldiers died or escaped, and now he was alone.

He wanted to return to the empire and ask the army why they had abandoned them, but he also knew that the possibility of giving them an answer was too small. With the end of the world approaching, human life had long been worthless.

Looking up, the uncle saw that they were still some distance from the top of the mountain. He breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down the messy thoughts in his mind. He shook his head, hoping that the breeze from the valley would blow on their faces. The uncle didn't speak again, and Tianle didn't ask any more questions.

As for Tianle's question just now about his name, it seemed that he had no intention of saying it out yet. After all, a name is just a name.

It's just a code name. He just wants to send Tianle to the mountain as soon as possible and wait for the alliance's rescue team to come and pick him up.

The uncle didn't think that the two would have a chance to meet again in the future, and with the idea that less trouble is worse than more, he didn't want Tianle to get involved in this mess at all.

As for myself, I still have to go find Lazarov!

Tianle had no idea what the uncle was thinking, so Tianle looked at the uncle curiously, but when he saw that he was immersed in his own world, he stopped asking.

Just when they were only two turns away from the top of the mountain, that heart-wrenching voice rang out in the valley not far from them.

"Ho ho."

"Ho ho."

The sound made the two of them look at each other. The uncle walked to the bend of the mountain and looked down. There were at least dozens of zombies wearing various clothes, both men and women, in the valley, climbing up using their hands and feet.

Neither of them said anything. They just looked at each other, quickened their pace and went straight up the mountain. On the top of the mountain in Hope Valley, there was a temporary base for the rescue team, which was convenient for the transfer of survivors rescued from nearby towns.

Although the uncle has a gun, the bullets are limited, and the gunshots will attract more zombies. Unless it is necessary, he usually runs away if possible.

The two kept running upwards, and just when they turned the last corner, Tianle saw a temporary outpost with simple defenses in front of them.

The two of them couldn't help but quicken their pace the moment they approached the garrison fence.

"Who is it, stop!"
