With an inexplicable expression, Hu Xiaodong instinctively cast a questioning glance at his brothers, only to see them equally bewildered.

With no choice, Hu Xiaodong pretended to have a sore throat, cleared it with a couple of coughs, and then spoke, "Well, I'm not sure what Miss Wei wants to ask?"

Without any pause, Wei Yang followed up mysteriously, "Are you an archer?"

As soon as she said this, everyone's doubts increased a few degrees, as they speculated on the reason behind the girl's question.

Could it be that she still holds a grudge because we gave up on rescuing her father yesterday?

Is she plotting some scheme to seek revenge on us?

Is her target Brother Hu?

The more they thought, the more fearful they became, and eventually, Tang Xiaoquan was so frightened by his own horrifying thoughts that all color drained from his face.

On the contrary, Hu Xiaodong, the person in question, appeared extremely calm, as he frankly admitted, "Well, yes, I did practice archery for some time in my early years!"

"Oh, I see!" Wei Yang murmured a sentence and then fell silent, turning her gaze to the damaged ambulance not far away.

At this moment, the ambulance's front hood no longer emitted smoke, and the zombies encircling the vehicle were also nowhere to be found, but none of these were the focus of Wei Yang's attention. Her eyes were persistently fixed on…

A pitiful "zombie" with only half its body remaining, dragging intestines dangling from the ambulance's windshield.

The corpse's hand crawled forward in vain, its lipless mouth opening and closing, occasionally emitting low growls.

It was clear it was struggling hard, but even so, it couldn't change its tragic fate of being stuck on the hood.

Tears involuntarily burst from her eyes, blurring Wei Yang's vision, her arms trembling uncontrollably.

The girl's unusual behavior caught Hu Xiaodong's attention. He stood up, took a few steps toward her, and asked in a gentle tone, "What's wrong, Miss Wei? Is something troubling you? If so, just say it, don't keep it bottled up inside!"

Wei Yang glanced at Hu Xiaodong briefly, and after a moment of contemplation, she slowly spoke, "I... I hope you can do me a favor, can you?"

"A favor?" Slightly surprised, Hu Xiaodong quickly realized his lapse and immediately changed his tone, "Of course, no problem! As long as it's within my capabilities, I will do my best! So... please, Miss Wei, what do you need me to do?"

The living room instantly fell silent, all the survivors perked up their ears, quietly waiting for the girl's response.

It seemed she made an extremely difficult decision as Wei Yang's hands clenched tightly into fists, her teeth biting her lip, saying, "I, I... I hope you help me kill someone!"

"What!" His eyes widened dramatically, Hu Xiaodong repeated incredulously, "You... want me to help you kill someone?"

"Yes!" Wei Yang nodded affirmatively, her previous hesitation replaced by determination on her delicate face.

Though finding it hard to believe the girl's words, Hu Xiaodong saw her expression was not lying. He could only swallow and furrow his brows, asking in a deep voice, "Then, please tell me, who do you want me to kill?"

"It!" Swiftly turning around, Wei Yang pointed her raised right hand at the struggling corpse.

"Phew~" Letting out a long, enlightened breath, when Hu Xiaodong's eyes settled on the target location, all his previous doubts were resolved.

"Are you sure?" He asked solemnly.

"Sure!" Wei Yang's reply was equally crisp.

"Alright then! I agree to your request. But before that, please give me some time to prepare!"

After finishing their conversation, Hu Xiaodong calmly returned to his seat, whispered a few words to the others, and then started to work separately with them.

About half an hour later, when they reappeared in the living room, each had a black armband on their right arm.

"We can begin now!" With Hu Xiaodong's low voice setting the cue, the survivors gradually stepped onto the balcony.

Opening a pre-prepared bottle of wine, Tang Xiaoquan tilted it, filling a glass with white wine and placing it on the railing.

At the same time, next to him, Wu Chao almost simultaneously placed a lit cigarette on the railing.

The smoke curled upwards, as Hu Xiaodong solemnly said:

"Elder Brother Wei, may you have a safe journey! Given the current chaotic situation, we can only give you this simple send-off. But rest assured, once things stabilize, we will definitely organize a proper funeral for you. Also, rest easy, we will take good care of Little Wei here, and hope you live happily on the other side."

After he finished speaking, Hu Xiaodong took up the compound bow and nocked an arrow.

"Can I send it off now?"

Staring blankly at her "father," Wei Yang softly said while biting her lip, "Please, wait a moment!"

As she spoke, a blinding gleam slipped from the girl's sleeve, startling everyone into a cold sweat.

It was vital to know that the source of the gleam was a knife, a sharp boning knife.

Tang Xiaoquan's heart almost leaped into his throat as he imagined a possibility, a very grave possibility, so without hesitation, he stepped forward to stop the girl's next move, but... he was one step too late.

The blade gently traced down her neck, black strands of hair fell, Wei Yang collected the cut hair and scattered it into the sky:

"Brother Hu, please proceed!"

Having been waiting solemnly nearby, Hu Xiaodong knew as soon as he saw the girl cut her hair, she was showing her resolve to her father:

She would live on strongly!

Such a courageous girl! With a sigh of admiration, Hu Xiaodong decisively drew back the bowstring, and once fully drawn, he released the release device.

The arrow flew swiftly, passing through the hair fluttering in the air, carrying the girl's endless grief, towards that great "father"!

"Dad! From today on, I'll learn to be strong!"

"Dad! No matter how tough the future gets, I won't give up!"

"Dad! Rest in peace on your journey!"

The arrowhead gradually sank into the "man's" skull, his vacant eyes slowly drooping.

And on the balcony, Wei Yang was already in tears, a living image of a weeping soul!
