Humans could not lie in Chen Yang's presence. After sensing that Hank was not lying to him and understanding the full situation, Chen Yang found himself in a dilemma.
Apparently, the current center of Houston, no, the current Southern States, were now surrounded by an array of alien species. If he continued south, Chen Yang would inevitably encounter more and more alien groups, just as he had today.
If it were only these "lizards" and humanoid aliens, Chen Yang might be able to handle them easily. However, if he encountered groups of the "meatball" aliens he had seen that morning, coming in the number of tens or even hundreds, he couldn't confidently say he could handle it. Even if he and Right Hand tried fighting them off, they would surely only kill a few before having to run, making sure not to get trapped within the encirclement.
Otherwise, the consequences would be catastrophic.
So, since he can't go to Houston anymore, what should Chen Yang do?
