Chapter 369 Plan to Leave

After listening to Nick's brief analysis of the current situation, Moore finally understood the whole story.

"Pfft, wait, are you saying that the guys we killed were from the supermarket?"

"yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me then?"

"I didn't know everyone in the supermarket. Besides, I was so anxious to find Lucy that I didn't even notice who these people were."

…

"So we took out Tina's brother."

"I'm afraid so..."

"Okay, that's it."

?????

That’s it?

Nick was confused. The situation he had planned did not happen. It seemed that Moore had no intention of recruiting them at all. He could only continue to ask.

"So what you mean?"

Moore fished out a crumpled cigarette case from his pocket and pulled out a cigarette of the same unique shape.

With a hissing sound, the flickering flames lit up an orange-yellow color in the dim room in the early morning. Moore took a deep breath, and a wisp of green smoke with the smell of tobacco rose slowly.

After taking three consecutive puffs, Moore finally spoke with a calm expression.

"You guys want to follow me out of here?"

"Of course. I heard you were planning to cross the border. Maybe it's time to go back."

"It's not impossible for you to join us, as long as you can accept two things."

After all, Nick had been with them for some time, so he could roughly guess what Moore meant. He didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you say."

"If you join us, you will have to follow my orders. The team must not disobey orders."

“This is easy.”

Nick agreed without any hesitation. Seeing him agree so quickly, Madison frowned slightly, but did not object.

"No, no, no."

Moore stretched out a finger and waved it in front of his face, interrupting Nick and continuing.

"Don't be impatient. I haven't finished yet. Just following orders is not enough. Let me be frank. If you get into trouble because of not following orders, I will not clean up your mess. I am not afraid to tell you that there is a large force behind us. We have a mission for this trip. Anyone who gets in our way will suffer."

"So even if your companions are in danger, you will just ignore them?"

Madison asked suddenly. Moore's words just now made her very uncomfortable, and she finally couldn't help it.

Moore glanced at her and sneered with some disdain.

"Don't you understand the current situation? The hotel manager's brother was killed by the people your son brought. Your husband beat up a survivor as soon as he entered the hotel. If my people hadn't intervened, he might have killed the person, isn't that right?"

Hearing what Moore said, Madison's face changed and he retorted.

"You guys killed him, not Nick!"

"Haha, does it matter? Do you think that woman would care who killed her brother? We didn't plan to stay here, and I don't think those cowards would come after me to take revenge, so don't talk to me about this useless stuff."

Madison was speechless. After thinking carefully, he realized that what the other party said was true, and that was why he interrupted and left.

"Well, we can agree to your request, but only if you don't make excessive demands."

Pursing his lips, Moore took a deep puff of his cigarette before answering with puffs of smoke.

"Then you don't have to worry about it. I welcome you to leave anytime you want."

After saying that, he put out the cigarette butt on the table, stood up and left the room.

…

"I don't like him."

Madison expressed her dissatisfaction almost at the same time as Moore walked out of the room. Since leaving Angel City, she can be said to have always been the leader of the team. Due to her personality, she naturally thought that all this was very reasonable.

With his good leadership skills and the support of his family, Madison began to develop ambitions for power on the cruise ship.

It was also from then on that Madison gradually became a person who would do anything to achieve her goals. Her family was more important than anything else, and she was willing to sacrifice dozens or even hundreds of people in exchange for a slight hope of survival for her family.

However, the appearance of More made her realize the crisis, so she naturally developed a resistance to him.

Nick didn't notice his mother's abnormality and just analyzed the current situation.

"We have no other choice. Use your brain and think about it. If we don't leave here, once Tina finds out about her brother's death, she will soon associate it with us. And how long can this hotel last? A month? Half a year? A year?"

"What if there is no food? Or a large number of zombies will surround this place, or even a group of looters will come!"

"I have been with them for a while and found that the team is very united. In fact, if you spend more time with them, you will find that Moore is not a bad person. He is just very cautious and has a foul mouth."

"And the most important point is that I originally thought there might be other forces behind them, but Mor just said it directly. This means that after they complete the mission, we can go to that mysterious settlement with them. What do you think the settlement of a team with such abundant firepower and supplies would look like? I believe it is definitely a suitable place to live."

Nick said a lot, almost everything he saw in the team, plus his own analysis, which gradually calmed down Madison, who was originally a little resistant.

"Well, if you think so, then I can give them a chance."

Seeing that his mother finally gave in, Nick felt relieved. He had accomplished the most difficult goal, and the rest would be easy to solve.

But before he could be happy for long, Madison frowned, looked around, and asked curiously.

"Where's Travis?"

Nick was stunned by the question and subconsciously looked at Lucy, who also shook her head blankly.

"broken!"

A bad premonition spread, and Madison felt his heart skip a beat. He quickly jumped out of bed and wanted to run outside.

As soon as he opened the door, a dark shadow rushed towards him and the two of them collided heavily.

The person who came let out a cry of pain, and Madison learned her identity: it was his daughter, Alisa.

"What happened? Was it Travis?"

Alisa no longer cared about her sore nose from being hit, and she spoke in a hurried tone.

"Oh no! Travis killed those two young men yesterday!"

"What!? Where is he now?"

"In the room where those two men are being held."

Several people were shocked when they heard this. Madison ran downstairs immediately after hearing this. The noise in the corridor also woke up many people. At once, many survivors walked out of the room to check the situation.

Nick noticed that a native resident of the hotel also ran to the door of a room in a panic and knocked on it anxiously.

Soon, a woman named Tina came out of the house. The two talked in a low voice for a few words, and Tina also ran downstairs with an anxious look on her face.

Before leaving, he looked back at Nick. Nick, who had been dealing with drug dealers for many years, sensitively detected a hint of vigilance and hostility in the other's eyes.

"It seems we have to leave as soon as possible."
