"Exactly," said Liu Yu Zeng with a nod. "The military trains people to be heroes, but they don't train people how to stop."
He wrapped his arms around me as he continued to stare at the sky in my space. "So, for men like me and Chen Zi Han, finding a place like this is paradise. We can see ourselves relaxing here, starting a family, and not worried about stopping others from taking our territory. The idea of it just being the five of us doesn't cause us to panic, it … gives us a sense of peace. Does that make sense?"
He looked at me, a vulnerable expression on his face. "It makes perfect sense," I said as I kissed his chest. "It was the same way that I felt when I was reborn into this life. The idea that I could make a home for myself in the middle of nowhere, where I didn't have to worry about humans trying to take what was mine, or zombies trying to kill me, was everything I ever wanted."
