Chapter 210: Lin Hao's Fear

When Lin Chen came out of the medical station, the sky had already darkened. Liu Mei's cheek had been medicated,

Lin Xiaoxiao was leaning against her, clutching the unfinished fruit candy in her hand,

and the two were temporarily arranged to rest in a temporary room next to the medical station. Lin Chen had just reached the bottom of the headquarters building,

when he saw a team member running over hurriedly: "Team Leader Lin, just received news: Lin Hao, who was previously driven out of the Iron Hand Group, is wandering around the outskirts of the safe zone with his parents, seemingly wanting to get in."

"Lin Hao?

" Lin Chen frowned, remembering the incident where Lin Hao had been expelled for looting survivor medicine,

"What is he doing here? Bring him over; I want to see him." The team member nodded and left. Not long after,

he brought Lin Hao and his parents over. Lin Hao looked much thinner than before, his clothes covered in dust. Seeing Lin Chen, his eyes were full of fear, and he subconsciously hid behind his parents.

"Why did you come back?

" Lin Chen asked directly, his tone cold. Lin Hao's mother stepped forward,

saying with a sobbing voice: "Team Leader Lin, we know we were wrong. Before, Lin Hao was ignorant.

Please let us stay in the safe zone; it's too dangerous outside, there are zombies everywhere,

we can barely survive." Lin Hao's father also nodded: "We are willing to work, whether it's guarding the gate or moving supplies; as long as we can stay, we are willing to do anything."

Lin Chen didn't answer immediately, his gaze falling on Lin Hao: "What about you?

Did you come back to stay in the safe zone, or do you have another purpose?" Lin Hao trembled all over,

lifted his head, his voice shaking: "I... I want to stay in the safe zone. I won't dare to loot things ever again. Please don't drive us away."

Just then, a system notification suddenly popped up: 【Detected abnormal heart rate in Lin Hao, intense emotional fluctuations; his psychological activity shows strong fear regarding the upcoming negotiation, inferring that he knows the Iron Hand Group may take extreme measures during the negotiation.】

Seeing the notification, Lin Chen felt a stir in his heart and said to Lin Hao: "There is a negotiation at the central square of the safe zone tomorrow.

If you want to stay, you can go to the scene with your parents to bear witness. As long as you behave well, I can consider letting you stay."

Hearing the word 'negotiation', Lin Hao's face turned pale instantly, and he retreated repeatedly.

"I'm not going!

I don't want to go to the negotiation site!

" He grabbed his mother's arm, his voice filled with sobs: "Mom, let's not go to the negotiation site,

let's leave. No matter where we go, I don't want to go there!" Lin Hao's mother was stunned: "Why not go? If we go, we can stay; this is a good thing."

"It's not a good thing!

It's a bad thing!

" Lin Hao shouted excitedly, tears streaming down, "When I was in the Iron Hand Group before,

I heard Zhou Bao and Zhao Hu say they were going to make a move during the negotiation, to trap everyone from the Starfire Group.

If we go, something bad will happen! Mom, Dad, don't take me there, I'm scared!" Lin Hao's father frowned: "Don't talk nonsense. Zhou Bao can barely protect himself now,

how could he still dare to make a move?" Lin Chen, however, stared at Lin Hao, pressing: "How exactly did Zhou Bao say they would make a move?

How many people do they have? Where are they hiding?" Lin Hao was frightened by his gaze and became even more terrified,

clutching his mother's leg tightly: "I don't know the specifics. I just heard them say they were going to bring weapons and find an opportunity to close the doors of the negotiation site. I didn't hear the rest clearly; I really don't know!"

Lin Chen looked at Lin Hao's fearful appearance; it didn't look like he was lying.

He said to the team member beside him: "Go to the central square immediately, strengthen patrols in the surrounding area,

and focus on checking all entrances and exits to see if there are any suspicious personnel or weapons." The team member nodded and ran off. Lin Chen looked at the Lin Hao family again: "Follow me to the temporary dormitory first.

Before the negotiation tomorrow, you are not allowed to leave the room. If what you said is true, after the matter is over, I will let you stay in the safe zone; if you lied, you will bear the consequences yourselves."

Lin Hao's mother nodded hurriedly: "We won't lie, everything Lin Hao said is true,

please protect us." Lin Hao was still crying, pulling his mother's hand and muttering incessantly: "I'm not going to the negotiation site, I'm really scared, Mom, let's not go, okay?

" Lin Hao's mother sighed and patted his head: "Be obedient, we won't go to the site, we'll just stay in the dormitory, it'll be fine." Lin Chen didn't say anything more, turned around, and led the three toward the temporary dormitory, but in his heart, he was calculating—it seems tomorrow's negotiation is even more dangerous than he had anticipated.
