As a bystander, Alan looked at the glass fragments and wine spilled on the ground in surprise. Hank was also frightened by his daughter and looked at her sober for a moment, and then Hannah's eyes widened with tears. He roared at his father Hank with angrily eyes:

"..Drinking, drinking, drinking...? All you have left in your life is drinking?! I have been hoping for you to stand up again for two years... Take a good look at me, what's the result?! You numb yourself and let me face it alone ! Is this fair!? Because you didn’t cheer up... you allowed Ethan to take advantage of the situation and act recklessly... causing us to sacrifice so many people today... Do you understand?"

Hannah's voice was so hoarse that Hank was so ashamed that he couldn't explain and was speechless. He could only watch Hannah keep saying "I...I'm sorry...I..."

Hannah didn't want to hear it and got very angry. Even more angrily, she smashed the empty wine bottles on the table next to her to the ground one by one.

Every time Hannah smashed a wine bottle, she shouted angrily,

"You just like drinking!",

almost to the point of losing her mind, as if she wanted to vent all the emotions she had hidden for the past two years...

Hannah ignored the scattered glass shards from the wine bottle and cut her hand, trying to vent her anger. Allen couldn't bear to let Hannah hurt herself anymore, so he pulled her away to calm down.

"Hannah!! Don't do this! Calm down!"

Despite being pulled away, Hannah angrily shouted

"Leave me alone!"

Allen grabbed the emotional Hannah by the shoulders and said:

"That's enough...Hannah! It won't help to blame anyone now...We still have to think long and hard about how to bring down Mori..."

Hannah smiled helplessly and sarcastically when she heard the words "long term plan", then shed tears and looked at Alan and said:

"A long-term plan...? What's the plan when everyone is gone?....Ethan is so strong, who can fight against him in the future...I came to you and thought you were different...I didn't expect it to be of any use. No..."

These words are really hurtful.

After Hannah said these hurtful words, she turned around and left sadly, leaving Allen stunned. He didn't tell Hannah how he resisted Ethan until the end. Although the feeling of being misunderstood was very painful, it was here anyway. There is no point in defending anything...

Tonight's tragedy is like the heavy rain that continues to fall, being washed away with less and less traces every month...

Late at night, Alan was alone in the rain on the top floor of his apartment. He held the Superman picture pin given to him by his father and pondered without saying a word...

Dr. Jack appeared silently at the door of the stairs behind him. Seeing this boy come back and get wet in the rain without saying anything, he probably knew that this operation failed miserably.

Allen recalled what his father, Seros, said when he handed the brooch to him...

"You are so smart and kind that you can save the world one day..."

But now he frowned, doubting that the world was not smart enough and kind enough to fight against the bad guys.

Is it true that in this post-apocalyptic wasteland world where zombie giants are rampant, the only way to control the life and death of others is to compare who is more ferocious?

Is there no other way?....

A black umbrella appeared silently to help Allen cover the rain. It turned out that Dr. Jack couldn't bear it, held up the umbrella, walked to Allen's side and asked playfully:

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"I just told you, little one, to pay attention to the power consumption! ...The consequences will be tragic, right?"

Allen didn't know what to answer for a moment, so he just sighed and replied:

"No amount of electricity is useless...Ethan can even dodge..."

Dr. Jack nodded as if he had expected this and asked:

"what's in your hand?"

Allen looked at the letter S on Superman's pin in a daze and said:

"..This was given to me by my dad.... When I was a child, I dreamed of saving the world.. That day, before he died, he asked me to take care of his family on his behalf.. He also said that he believed that my kindness and intelligence could save the world... As The original intention of becoming Superman will always be preserved on the pin... But I didn't expect that the bad guys in this world are far more numerous and powerful than I thought... There is no strong strength that can't fight against them... I am no longer sure about this idea. It's not right anymore...maybe I'm naive."

When Dr. Jack heard these words, he felt the same way and looked at the heavy rain and sighed in a daze...

"What if it was possible??"

Dr. Jack suddenly said something like this, which made Alan confused. After a long time, he turned to look at Dr. Jack and asked, "...What is possible?" .

The doctor raised his eyebrows and said to Allen with an expression of disbelief in this conclusion:

Who says kindness and intelligence are useless? There will always be bad people in this world and we can't change them, but good people are always stronger than bad people and it is the truth that makes the world a better place. Do you want to know the real reason why Ethan captured me?”

Allen blurted out in confusion,

"The real reason?"

The doctor sighed and said:

" Kid... Did you know I was planning to leave tomorrow and forget about it, but seeing you... like me, I think I'll do you a favor! I didn't want to tell anyone this secret originally, but I noticed you're a good kid... Tomorrow, when you come back, I'll take you somewhere to let you know a big secret that can change this post-apocalyptic world! Consider it a gift, what you do with it in the future is up to your own destiny! I don't want to care about this world anymore, just want to go back to the South and live a good life with my family, that's all I need..”

The doctor then said funnyly,

"Go to bed! How much do you love playing the role of an infatuated man in the rain?"

I heard there is something in the doctor’s words，Allen hurriedly denied, I didn't…" Perhaps this made his mood calmer.

Jack patted Alan on the shoulder to give him a little encouragement, turned around and went back downstairs to sleep.

Allen looked at the sky where the rain gradually subsided, and wondered,

"What secret can change all this?"...

As soon as day broke, Alan got ready and went out.

Today happens to be the day when the freshmen of the Guard Corps graduate from training, and it is also the day when the freshmen choose which unit they want to go to.

Allen came to the Guard Headquarters. The square was packed with freshmen, preparing to attend the graduation ceremony.

Because what happened yesterday was very sudden, the freshmen were only called to participate in the work of repairing the wall, and had no idea what was going to happen next. Everyone was overjoyed to have survived the training and prepared to choose their ideal team.

"Alan, you are such a bastard. Where did you go yesterday? What happened?"

Bud cursed and asked as soon as he saw Allen.

However, Allen didn't want to answer and simply responded, "It's okay..." He walked to the gathering place solemnly, minding his own business, and let Bud grumble beside him.

Allen looked sad as he watched the freshmen who had survived the training crowd in front of the big blackboard in the team registration department and discussing enthusiastically which team to choose. He sighed deeply and felt that they didn't really know anything. Very lucky....

The atmosphere around here is like another world, except for Allen's out-of-place smile...

Back to Hannah, Hannah couldn't sleep all night and finally cried herself to sleep, but was woken up by a burst of talking. She felt very strange and slowly went downstairs to check.

Unexpectedly, he found Ethan sitting on a chair in his father Hank's room, talking alone to the sleeping Hank.

When he saw his enemy Hannah, he immediately became angry and immediately went to get a sniper rifle and pointed it at Ethan. At this moment, she and Ethan were at odds with each other, yet he still had the nerve to visit her.

"How dare you !"

Ethan didn't pay attention to Hannah's roar. He just gently covered the drunken Hank with the quilt and said softly:

"Boss, I'm leaving."

Ethan stood up and quickly grabbed Hannah's gun and spoke to Hannah in an unusually calm tone.

"No one wants a girl who loves to play with guns!"

Hannah was very angry after hearing this, but she knew that she could not defeat Ethan in anything she did now, so she could only suppress her anger and respond.

What do you want...? You have killed all my people and you have won... No one in this city can resist you. Why are you here pretending?

Ethan returned the gun to Hannah without any anger and said with a smile:

" princess, I am a cruel killer, but no matter how much I love killing people and eradicating different voices... At least I am still a person who knows how to repay kindness, so I didn't kill you and the boss. You should be grateful that I am this person. People, at least I won't let the zombies and thieves outside Atlanta break in and protect everyone. Although it is cruel...but this is not how the world is...the strong is king."

Hannah glared at Ethan unconvinced and said:

"I hope someone stronger than you will appear and defeat you."

Ethan smiled and refused to comment and was about to open the door and leave, but he couldn't help turning his head and said something before doing so.

" By the way, princess, you don’t have anyone here anymore, so don’t cause any more trouble. You can make a few friends to help kill zombies, but... not too many, or I will... "

He deliberately made a gesture of cutting his throat without finishing his words, and his intention was obvious.

Ethan walked out of Hannah's house. There were several squads and hundreds of fully armed guards waiting for him outside. One of the squad leaders came up and asked Ethan:

"Report to the commander, the people are summoned, your order is...?

Ethan took out his cigarette and took a puff before saying with a weird smile:

"Where does Allen live? Find out his address. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time... Doctor, I am coming to catch you!"

Ethan finally decided that Dr. Jack was hiding in Allen's place. This was terrible.
