Chapter 361: Winter 2

Maya and Lin Wu sat by the poolside, watching the water slowly recede, and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"Regret."

Maya asked, "What if you could do it all over again?"

"I'd still have to play rock-paper-scissors," said Lin Wu. "Besides, I had an advantage going in."

"Oh?"

Lin Wu said, "If I got hurt, you could carry me, but if you got hurt, I couldn't carry you. I could only drag you back and, thinking about that scream, it might attract all the zombies in town."

Maya didn't follow up on Lin Wu's teasing and passed over a bottle of painkillers, "Take these, eat one when it hurts."

"I'm fine," Lin Wu said. "You should be more careful, in case you get hurt and we have to crawl back."

"I would crawl and carry you back."

"You shouldn't speak such plain truths, it makes me feel embarrassed."

"Oh." Maya said, "According to the equipment room's instructions, it will probably take over an hour. Should I take you back first?"

"No worries, let's leave after drawing the blood."
