I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 40 Take Responsibility
Fran's words made the chopsticks in Lin Zhong's hand freeze.

He looked Fran up and down, and then said: "Do you have to ask this at this time?"

"What's wrong with this problem?" Fran was puzzled.

Lin Zhong didn't know how to explain it. From his personal experience, those who like to look forward to the future before doing big things often have a particularly high probability of something happening.

He had seen a hunter who said he would retire after finishing this job. That time he went to the abyss, but the whole team did not come back, and it was he who led the team to collect the corpses.

As for the similar plots we have seen in the story, there are countless of them. Those who talk about what they will do after the battle before the war will never survive the end. After the pre-war team photo is taken, there will definitely be attrition after the war.

What's more, he himself has similar experience.

During the last meal before hunting the apostles, he excitedly talked with his teammates about where to build a hunter base after being promoted. Ah Sheng said that after completing this mission, he would definitely be promoted to the lighthouse, and he could stay at the base by then. As the backbone, Xu Zhongyi remained silent, and Aileen smiled and said nothing. Thinking about it now, they were probably dead in the eyes of this couple.

He held it in for a long time, and finally said three words to Fran: "Unlucky."

"What's auspicious or unlucky about this?" Fran didn't understand at all.

"What are your thoughts when you suddenly ask this?" He couldn't explain clearly, so Lin Zhi simply threw the question back.

"I think it would be quite interesting to come out with you." Fran picked up a piece of pork belly and put it into her mouth.

That's not true. After all, during the four years you spent in the abyss, you basically lived like a female savage, Lin Zhong thought to himself.

"So you mean, after this matter is over, you don't plan to go back?" Lin Zhong asked tentatively.

"I won't go back." Fran replied decisively.

"Are you still planning to follow me?" Lin finally understood what the other party meant.

Fran didn't have much memory when she was born. She was confused and relied on her natural strength to gain a foothold in the abyss. She was unable to communicate with abyssal creatures. The humans who came into contact with her regarded her as a monster and could only stay alone in their own territory. , hunting abyssal creatures and scavenging from the ruins of civilization.

And Lin finally brought her out of the abyss. In just a few days, she had just tasted the world outside the abyss, and it was still full of freshness. Naturally, she would not be willing to go back.

But she also knows that she still knows too little about the world outside the abyss. If she is not careful, she may reveal her identity again and become a mouse that everyone in the human world shouts to beat... No, it may be more accurate to say a tiger. .

So if she wanted to stay outside, she still had to have someone by her side - and Lin Zhong was naturally the most suitable candidate.

"It depends on what you think." Fran replied.

"Hey, you asked for my opinion, you are quite reasonable." Lin finally laughed.

"There's no point in tying you up," Fran said.

Lin Zhong began to seriously think about this issue in his heart, after all, this matter is not trivial.

What will he do after he kills Xu Zhongyi and Aileen and takes revenge?

Of course, life still has to go on. Being a wilderness hunter is a way out, or simply settling down in Chuxia Town is not a bad idea. Although the life here is not rich, it is still peaceful.

The question is whether to keep Fran by his side.

First of all, there is no doubt about Fran's danger. Not only does she have the power of an apostle, but she also knows very little about human rules. Although Fran seems to be very reasonable now, no one can guarantee that they will never appear in the future. An irreconcilable contradiction.

Secondly, Fran had to dissociate her own core to barely disguise herself as an infected person. If her true identity is exposed one day, Lin Zhong who is with her may also be implicated.

But there are obviously benefits. As a companion, Fran is at least reliable enough in terms of strength, and her ability to transform life is also useful in many places. Being with her can guarantee you in many aspects.

Moreover, Lin Zhong himself is now alone. He has become an existence like an abyss creature and has to keep a certain distance from others to keep this secret. But with Fran, they are completely honest with each other on this point.

In this apocalyptic world, it is very difficult to survive as a lone wolf.If life is rich, it's okay, but if life is hard, the loneliness will be infinitely magnified.

For Lin Zhong, sitting and drinking alone would probably be a bit boring.

If he had to choose a companion to live or travel with, Fran might be the only one for him right now.

Thinking of this, he naturally imagined how he and Fran would settle down and live together in this early summer town.

For a moment, Lin Zhong was a little hard to make a decision, so he gently picked up the wine bowl and replied, "Let's talk about it then."

"Okay." Fran didn't mind putting this issue aside for the time being. She picked up the bowl along with Lin Zhong and said like the other party did before, "Cheers!"

Lin Zhi chuckled softly, touched the other party, and drank the remaining wine in the bowl.

On a night like this, listening to music and dim lights, sitting opposite a woman at an open-air stall, enjoying a table with wine and food, it feels like a very drinking atmosphere.

Lin Zhong suddenly realized that he hadn't been so relaxed in a while.

"Two more bowls of rice wine." He turned to the stall owner and shouted.

The night is still very long.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Zhong opened his eyes suddenly and felt his mouth was dry and he had a headache.

the Hangover.

Damn, I drank too much yesterday!
He quickly recalled that he drank bowl after bowl last night, and soon became a little drunk - his drinking capacity was actually very average.

He is now in the apartment room that Axia lent him, but he has no memory of coming back.

I stopped drinking. The atmosphere was good yesterday, but I accidentally relaxed.

Lin Zhi shook his head, lifted the quilt and got up from the bed.

A chilly feeling suddenly came over him, and Lin Zhong immediately put the quilt back on him, and then began to think seriously about a question:
Where are my clothes?

He was now naked under the quilt, wearing nothing.

At this time, the curtain next to the bed was suddenly opened. This curtain had been separating him and Fran's bed.

"You're finally awake." Fran, who was fully dressed, stood beside the bed and looked at him condescendingly.

"Fulan, yesterday..." Lin Zhong blinked blankly, "Why are my clothes gone?"

Fran frowned in displeasure upon hearing this: "You still have the nerve to ask? Think about what you have done, right?"

Lin Zhong's mind suddenly buzzed and went completely blank.

Damn it, right?It doesn’t make sense!He thought in shock, this sentence running over and over in his mind.

Afterwards, Fran added another sentence that shocked him even more: "Let's say it first, you have to take responsibility."
