"Are you sure about this?" Liu Wei asked as we drove away from the mansion.

I was silent for a few minutes as I thought about it. I had wanted to burn down the house, but at the same time, I didn't want to burn it down. And yes, I understood how asinine that sounded, but hear me out.

I wanted to burn the place down because I hated it. It was ugly, there were no good memories for me there, Wu Bai Hee was there, not to mention, I had a dream that Liu Wei died there. On the flip side, I didn't think that all those people deserved to die, and I wasn't willing to take them with me to the ranch.

By the end of all my hemming and hawing, I decided that since Wu Bai Hee was dead, I could leave the mansion standing.

However, I was a vindictive bitch, and as such, I set the living room on fire to appease my need for something to burn. But as soon as the couches, chairs, coffee table, décor, and rugs were destroyed, I called back my flame and turned around to leave.

There were too many things wrong with that place to want to stay longer. Liu Wei and Liu Yu Zeng were satisfied that their grandfather was alive and well, and decades younger than before. Whatever called Liu Wei there was no longer a thing. Personally, I believed that it was Wu Bai Hee that called him there and once she died, there was no reason for him to stay.

Whatever happened in the study caused our reason for being there to no longer be an issue and now we were back on the road.

To a home that may no longer be my home.

We'll see how that went.

"I'm sure," I replied finally as the men all surrounded my truck with their motorcycles, effectively placing me in the middle of a protective cage. We had just left the city limits and were back on the open road heading north towards City A. The ride was going smoothly for the first 20 minutes or so. The highway was pretty well cleared, similar to City B and I wondered if Beta had something to do with that.

Not really caring about anything, the music in Cerberus' cab blasting, I allowed myself to relax. I needed to think more positively about the ranch and my future. We had done what we set out to do, and now it was time to go home. And even if it wasn't the home that I left, I could make it my home again.

Happier about going back to the ranch than I was before, I didn't notice Cerberus slowing down until we had come to an almost stop. "What's going on?" I asked confused. I looked out the front window and saw a giant wall looming in front of us.

Getting out of the truck, I was quickly joined by my guys on both sides of me. Looking at the impressive blockade, I cocked my head to the side. "So, do we knock or does someone just come and open it?"

Chen Zi Han adjusted the gloves on his hands and walked forward to knock on the 'door'. Now, I might be using that word very loosely. There was a separate section of the wall that looked like two car doors that had been ripped off their hinges and were placed in front of the only hole in the 10-foot structure.I think you should take a look at

"Anyone home?" called out Liu Yu Zeng as Chen Zi Han returned to our group. There was no answer to either the knock or Liu Yu Zeng. I shrugged my shoulders, unconcerned.

"Chen Zi Han, knock it down," I called out loudly, enough though the man was standing right beside me.

"You are from City B, that makes you a zombie. You are not welcome here," called out a voice from the other side of the wall. Looking up, I saw a skinny man dressed all in white standing on top of the barrier.

"Have you seen a zombie?" I called out, not sure what he was talking about. There was no way that anyone could confuse us with a zombie, even on my worst day.

"It doesn't matter, I am well aware that there are zombies taking over City B. If you are coming from that direction then there is a chance that you might have been infected and now you want to harm our human brothers and sisters."

I rolled my eyes, who really started a safety zone in the middle of the highway?? "You didn't answer my question, have you seen a zombie?" I repeated.

"Of course I have, they have greyish-green skin with huge sores all over them and moan," came the man's reply from where he stood looking down on us. And just by that answer, I knew that he had never seen a zombie outside of the movies or television.

"They really aren't," replied Liu Yu Zeng as he stood beside me. "Now, we need to get through to get home. Are you going to let us? Or are we going through the hard way?" he continued as he put his elbow on my shoulder.

"We will let you in," said the man in white, raising a hand. The two car doors parted revealing around 20 or so men and women standing on the other side. "You just have to be searched first."

"Excuse me?" I asked. I must have heard wrong. Either that or the man was delusional if he thought that he would be able to search me and mine.

"We need to search you to make sure that you are not hiding any zombie bites or scratches. Those unholy beings have no place in our world," called the man as he started to descend the latter that was perched against the wall.

"And if we are bitten or scratched?" asked Liu Wei, his arms crossed against his chest.

"Then you don't belong in our world either."
