Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Beating

His hands shook with excitement as he considered his plan. It would be so easy.

He could grab her, escape the base, and then he'd never have to worry about food or money again.

He slowly convinced himself that he wasn't thinking of betraying the institute and that he wasn't harming them by taking away Huo Ning.

The pain in his neck eased and Nova couldn't help but smile.

He forced himself to focus, though.

There would be time later to figure out how to handle Huo Ning. For now, he needed to regroup with the others.

They had found the zombie in the conference room, and it was time to meet up.
