Chapter 48

"Old Wu, I think this young brother isn't suitable to join us!" Before Bu Fan could speak, Chen Kaixuan, who was carrying a gun, spoke up.

And Sun Dashan, who was carrying a longbow, hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "That's right, Old Wu, I also think that bringing him along will only be a burden!"

After hearing the two of them, Wu Guang did not immediately respond but looked at the two women!

Although Zhang Ke had reached the second stage in strength, her personality was somewhat soft. She just gently shook her head and said in a low voice, "I have no objections!"

On the contrary, Feng Yuan, who had some charm, glanced at Bu Fan, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "I think having one more person means one more source of strength, isn't it?"

"Hmph, girl, I think you haven't been in the wild before. Someone like him, not only is he no help, but calling him a burden is already being generous. If he follows us, he will eventually get us killed!" After learning about Bu Fan's strength, Chen Kaixuan's attitude towards him changed greatly. Seeing that Feng Yuan was unwilling to abandon Bu Fan, he coldly rebutted.

Feng Yuan's face darkened when she heard Chen Kaixuan's rebuttal. She opened her mouth to say something but ultimately did not speak.

She also knew that her strength was too low, and she had little say in the team.

"Brother Bu, what do you think?" Wu Guang looked at Bu Fan and asked calmly.

"I don't have any thoughts. If everyone thinks I'm a burden and doesn't want to bring me, I won't force it! As they say, life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. Bu Fan's strength is low, and I can't blame anyone else!" Bu Fan shook his head and said softly.

At this moment, he indeed had no intention of showing off or embarrassing anyone. Moreover, Bu Fan's original plan was to follow them to the destination, complete the task as soon as possible, and obtain the mission credentials!

After that, he planned to go out alone to hone himself and look for the whereabouts of Mad Tiger to take revenge.

However, if these people were to abandon him, Bu Fan didn't really care, and he didn't even feel a hint of anger. They were all weaklings, and he couldn't blame them!

But seeing Bu Fan's expressionless demeanor, Wu Guang's heart stirred slightly. Then he said loudly, "Hehe, good courage, Brother Bu! But you underestimate me, Old Wu. Although Brother Bu's strength is low, since we are on the same mission, we are in the same boat. From now on, we will share life and death! Old Chen, Dashan, don't talk about abandoning anyone. This is the time for us to work together. How can we start by losing our composure!"

After Wu Guang finished speaking, Sun Dashan and Chen Kaixuan's faces were full of surprise. On the contrary, the other two women, Feng Yuan and Zhang Ke, showed admiration.

Bu Fan couldn't help but look at Wu Guang, who was smiling at Feng Yuan and Zhang Ke. Bu Fan's heart stirred, and he understood something.

This Wu Guang seemed to have some brains. Compared to Chen Kaixuan and Sun Dashan, he had a clearer understanding of the current situation.

There were two reasons why he didn't abandon Bu Fan. One was that Wu Guang was a man of high moral integrity, valuing trust and righteousness!

But based on Wu Guang's previous impression, Bu Fan didn't think he was such a person. On the contrary, this person had always been very calculating. From the beginning of forming the team, he took the initiative to speak and continuously controlled the team's dynamics, gradually becoming the nominal leader.

The other reason was Bu Fan's malicious guess! Wu Guang didn't abandon Bu Fan to win the trust of Zhang Ke and Feng Yuan, establishing his authority and earning their gratitude!

Perhaps, when Wu Guang truly established his authority and became the core of the team, it would be the time to abandon Bu Fan.

On the contrary, if Wu Guang now joined Chen Kaixuan and Sun Dashan to abandon Bu Fan, it would plant a seed of distrust in the two women's hearts. They would definitely suspect when the three of them would abandon them, leading to other conflicts.

In fact, Bu Fan had correctly guessed Wu Guang's thoughts. Wu Guang's understanding of human nature was more accurate than Sun Dashan and Chen Kaixuan, which was why he was the unofficial leader among the three.

"Old Wu!"

Hearing Wu Guang's words, Chen Kaixuan instinctively wanted to rebut but was interrupted by Wu Guang.

"Brother, don't say anything more. When we truly reach a desperate situation, we'll talk about it. For now, let's set off. Brother Bu, since your strength is low, don't stand with us. Sit in the back seat!" Wu Guang first gave Chen Kaixuan a meaningful look and then said seriously to Bu Fan.

After Wu Guang's words, Feng Yuan and Zhang Ke looked at him even more favorably!

"Thank you!"

Bu Fan softly thanked him and then went to the back seat and sat down.

Then, Feng Yuan and Zhang Ke also got in the front, while Wu Guang and the others jumped into the back of the truck.

Feng Yuan started the car and continued down the road. The car was very quiet. Neither Feng Yuan, who was driving, nor Zhang Ke, who was in the passenger seat, spoke until the car had traveled for some distance.

Zhang Ke, sitting in the passenger seat, said, "We're quite lucky this time. We met a righteous man like Wu Guang on our mission. Bu Fan, you should try to curry favor with him. That way, he might continue to bring you along!"

Bu Fan didn't speak, just lowered his head, and no one could see what he was thinking.

On the contrary, Feng Yuan, who was driving, lowered her voice and said softly, "Hehe, Sister Zhang, do you really think Wu Guang is that kind-hearted?"

"If he really abandoned Bu Fan on the road, what would we think? Would we truly trust them three?" Feng Yuan's words surprised Bu Fan.

Was this the same Feng Yuan who had been admiring Wu Guang just now? Could it be that she also saw through Wu Guang's intentions and was just pretending?

Just as Bu Fan was inwardly surprised, Feng Yuan continued, "And Sister Zhang, I have to tell you, there's another benefit to bringing Bu Fan. Do you know what it is?"

"What benefit?" Zhang Ke asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, Bu Fan, listen carefully. If we encounter powerful monsters or zombies on the road, you'll be the first one to stay behind and cover for us, got it?" Feng Yuan lowered her voice and said coldly.

"You can't be serious? You mean they would let Bu Fan?"

"Use himself as bait to buy them time to escape!" Bu Fan reacted quickly and immediately responded.

"Also, Sister Zhang, do you know why they didn't get in the car? This car can fit three more people in the back seat, even if it's a bit crowded!" Feng Yuan continued in a low voice.

"First, I go, and you stay behind! Is that it?" Bu Fan quickly added. Although he hadn't experienced it, he had read many post-apocalyptic novels in his previous life, and with a bit of thought, he understood immediately!

"Hehe, that's right, little brother, you're really funny. I go first, and you stay behind!" Feng Yuan laughed at Bu Fan's words.

On the other side, Zhang Ke was completely stunned. She hadn't expected that in such a short time, so many twists and turns had occurred among the group!
