The Walking Dead: reborn as Carl

Chapter 165: Chapter 168 Rejection



After taking a short walk with Noah, Carl went back to the infirmary for breakfast.

During these few days, Karl still stayed in the infirmary as usual, and Dr. Stevens was indeed a very nice person.

She took care of Carl like a mother takes care of her child.

While eating breakfast and thinking about things, Dr. Stevens said across from me, "Carl, the Governor asked you to go see him later. You know his office."

"The Governor is looking for me?" Karl was slightly stunned. "Madam, do you know what it is?"

Doctor Stevens smiled and said, "I should assign you a room and arrange your future life here, but don't worry, you are still young and you don't need to work. Your injuries will heal quickly, but I may be able to talk to him and let you live with me."

Dr. Stevens lives in the infirmary. It is called an infirmary, but in fact it is only the first floor. It is also a building similar to an independent villa, and the first floor has been converted into an infirmary.

Dr. Stevens lives on the second floor, which is not small in size, with several bedrooms, a study, a bathroom and other facilities. Dr. Stevens is the only one living there.

This is a privilege of being the only doctor in Woodbury. Dr. Stevens also let Carl go upstairs in the past few days, but Carl still chose to sleep in the ward downstairs.

"I'll go and take a look later. I'll tell the Governor that I want to live with you." Carl said with a smile.

"Good boy." Dr. Stevens stood up and touched Carl's head.

Well, Dr. Stevens barely washed Carl's hair yesterday, so it wasn't too dirty.

"Well, ma'am, I'm done eating. I'm going to find the Governor." Carl put down his plate and stood up.

"Child, are you full?"

"Very full, ma'am, you're very good at cooking."

"Haha, Carl, you have such a sweet mouth."

"I just like to tell the truth."

After chatting with Stevens for a while, Carl was able to leave the infirmary and walk towards the Governor's office.

The Governor's office was prominently located in the center of Woodbury, Carl knew.

"Boom, boom…"

"Come in." A deep male voice.

Karl pushed open the door and walked in. The office was very spacious. The Governor was now sitting behind the desk, and Luo Wan was standing beside him holding a folder.

The desk is in front of Carl's left, and to the right is a floor-to-ceiling window, a coffee table and a sofa.

"Karl is here?" The Governor raised his head and smiled, then stood up, walked to the sofa and waved, "Karl, come and sit down, don't be so reserved."

Karl nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down opposite the Governor, "Thank you, Governor."

"I told you, don't be so reserved." The Governor smiled indifferently and then asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

"I'm not thirsty," Carl said.

"Then let's have juice. You should like it at your age. I still do." The governor waved to Luo Wan, who immediately nodded and went out to prepare.

"Bang."

After Luo Wan closed the door, the office became a little quiet. The Governor did not rush to speak, but looked at Carl with interest.

Karl lowered his head, his eyes somewhat evasive.

"Look up and look at me," the Governor said in a commanding tone.

Carl's body trembled, but he still raised his head obediently and looked at the Governor, but his eyes were more evasive.

Not long after, the Governor smiled and said, "Carl, it's just a joke. You are too nervous. There is no need to be so nervous. I am not a cannibal."

Karl said weakly, "I don't want to be nervous either, but when I face you, I always feel like I faced my teacher before, and I can't help but feel nervous."

"Haha..." The Governor was amused, and then asked in a relaxed tone, "Karl, what do you think of Woodbury?"

"It's great. The people here are very nice. I like it here very much. It's also very safe. I don't have to spend every night in fear anymore.

Governor, I like it here very much. I want to stay here. Please don't chase me away, okay?" Karl looked at the Governor pitifully.

"Of course not. I told you that you could stay here. I called you here today just to tell you this." The Governor smiled gently.

"Boom, boom…"

The Governor looked towards the door and said, "Enter."

Luo Wan opened the door, holding a tray, placed a glass of orange juice on the coffee table in front of Carl, and placed coffee in front of the Governor, then walked out with the tray.

Carl looked at the juice in front of him with some surprise.

"You can try it. It's freshly squeezed orange juice. I remember it tastes good." The Governor smiled.

Carl nodded, and picked up the orange juice impatiently. He took a small sip at first, which tasted very good, and then took another big sip.

"Go slowly or you might choke." said the Governor.

"Yeah." Carl put down the juice and looked at the Governor with a shy smile.

"Kid, you haven't had juice for a long time." The Governor said with a smile.

"Yeah." Carl nodded.

"By the way, can you use a gun?" the governor asked casually.

"Yes, I'm a very good marksman. Even my father praised me for it…" At this point, Carl's face, which had just been full of enthusiasm, turned a little dim.

The Governor did not comfort him as before, but continued to ask, "Really, Carl, have you ever killed a zombie?"

"Yeah." Carl nodded.

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

"Ah?" Karl was stunned, a little surprised, "This... killing is wrong."

"So, Carl, do you think it's right to kill zombies?" The Governor looked puzzled.

"This..." Carl hesitated and thought carefully about what to say. After thinking for a while, he said, "My father said that we must kill them, otherwise we will be eaten by the zombies. My father was eaten by the zombies..."

"Have you ever thought that zombies are actually transformed from humans? Maybe they can recover?"

"I…" Karl's face was conflicted and a little painful, and he shook his head.

"Carl, you can't just kill them casually, you can't." The Governor said seriously.

"Yeah." Carl nodded weakly.

The Governor wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped. He took a sip of coffee, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, as if thinking about something.

Carl carefully picked up the juice and took a sip, not daring to disturb the Governor.

After a long time, the Governor opened his eyes, as if he had made a decision. He looked at Carl and smiled, "Carl, your injury should be almost healed."

"Well, Dr. Stevens said the gauze can be removed in two days." Carl nodded.

"Then you can't stay in the infirmary forever. How about this, after you remove the gauze, you can live with me." The governor smiled kindly.

Karl was stunned. Although he didn't know why the Governor wanted him to live with him, he always had a bad feeling and said quickly:

"But Dr. Stevens wants to live with me, and I want to live with her, Governor. I like her very much."

The Governor said with an inexplicable smile:

"No, it's decided, Karl, I like you too, um, I like children very much, good boy, don't refuse, okay?"
