Chapter 16: Sick Human Nature (3)
Everyone on either side of the doorway was stunned when they heard the sound and saw the figure suddenly passing in front of them, even Randy.
It wasn't until they saw Raun run up to Marilyn and snatch the blood-stained knife from him that they snapped into action.
"What are you doing?"
But before Randy, Peter, and the others could do anything, they saw Lorne snatch the knife and yell at Marilyn in anger.
With a "snap", the wooden stick in Marilyn's mouth fell to the ground, and she looked at Raun blankly, but in the next second, her face suddenly distorted.
"Ah~~~"
"Lawn ......"
Seeing Marilyn, whose face was suddenly hideous and distorted, screamed and pounced on Lawn and choked his neck, Randy, Peter, and the others changed their faces and hurriedly rushed to the two of them.
"Ho ho ......" "Ho ho ......"
By the time Randy and the others approached the two, Marilyn had already knocked Raun to the ground, riding on top of him and choking him by the neck with both hands.
Lawn's face was flushed with blood, and he was holding Marilyn's fingers with both hands, and he was already showing signs of being out of breath.
"Let it go!"
Randy yelled at Marilyn coldly, and quickly reached out and pulled her aside.
"Ho ho ...... Whew......"
Breaking free from the near suffocation, Raun immediately covered his neck and gasped violently.
"Peter, Betty, hurry up and find a rope to tie her up."
After controlling Marilyn, who was still struggling, Randy quickly turned to Peter and Betty beside her.
Hearing the command, Peter and Betty suddenly reacted and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the door.
…………
Two or three minutes later, Randy exhaled a light breath after he and Peter tied Marilyn to a chair.
"Are you alright?"
After a moment's momentary respite, Randy turned to look at Lawn, who was sitting on the floor gasping for air, and held out a hand to him as he spoke.
Holding Randy's hand, he barely stood up, and Lawne gave him a deep look at Marilyn tied to the chair before nodding his head.
Randy glanced at Lawne and said nothing more.
"Ahh This...... What the hell is this? ”
The two stared at Marilyn, but just as Randy was about to ask her for something as she calmed down, a panicked cry suddenly rang out.
Hearing the voice, the others hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see Betty on the edge of the cradle looking inside with a panicked face, her body trembling like chaff and at the same time she couldn't help but kick back a few steps.
"What's wrong?" Randy asked quickly as he walked over to Betty's side.
Seeing Randy's movements, Lawne, Peter, and others also gathered around.
"Hiss......"
But as they followed Betty's gaze towards the cradle and saw the contents of it, they couldn't help but gasp.
I saw a baby who was urgently wrapped in swaddling clothes was lying quietly in the cradle, but the baby's face was gray and terrible, and the baby was biting and swallowing a piece of scarlet flesh in his mouth, and even the side of his mouth was infected with a piece of blood.
"Zombies! This baby is about to mutate into a zombie! Lawn's eyes widened in panic and exclaimed.
And when Lawn's words came out, the others also sounded the same exclamation in their hearts.
"Zombie babies? That ......"
Randy was the only one who thought of something different, and while being shocked, he quickly turned his head to look at Marilyn on the other side, and said slowly, "Then she cut her own flesh just now for ......"
Before Randy could finish his sentence, Lawne on the side continued with his words, "She's feeding this zombie baby with her own flesh because ......"
As he spoke, Lawne turned his head and took a deep look at Marilyn, who was now calm in the chair, "This is her child!" ”
As he said this, Lawn's eyes as he looked at Marilyn were particularly soft, and his face was full of pity and sympathy.
Randy, Peter, Betty, and the others quickly fell silent after listening to his words, and everyone looked at Marilyn with strange eyes, their eyes flickering and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Most of the people present were alone in the real world, and it was impossible for them to give birth to children at their age, so although their hearts trembled at Lawne's words, it was difficult for them to understand Marilyn's behavior.
Using one's own flesh and blood to feed a child who has become a zombie is difficult for even ordinary parents to do.
Of the ten people in the group, only Raun could understand her thoughts a little.
When Marilyn met her eyes, Lawne also tortured herself inwardly, if Ronan also appeared in such a world and also became a zombie, he would make the same decision as her.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lawne knew that he would probably do the same, and even if Ronan turned into a zombie, he didn't have the determination to kill him.
…………
And while Lawn was silent, everyone on the side began to talk.
"This baby is also a zombie, if we kill this baby, will we complete the mission?" Looking at the zombie baby in the cradle, a thought popped up between someone's thoughts.
"But she's just offered us food, and we're going to kill her baby now, isn't ......?" someone hesitated.
"No...... Now this monster is no longer his child. ”
"That ......"
"No, don't ......"
Just as one of them was about to nod in agreement and make a move, Marilyn, who was tied to a chair, suddenly screamed in panic.
I saw a few tears in her red eyes, staring at everyone in a panic, and begging bitterly: "Don't kill my child!" Don't ......"
"We ......" The man who had just nodded in agreement glanced around at the others, as if to ask for their opinion.
"Let's go!"
But before the others could respond, Lawne's voice suddenly rang out, and he turned and glanced at everyone's faces, and opened his mouth to say, "Let's get out of here, and don't disturb her and her children anymore." ”
His gaze quickly swept over the others, and Lawne finally stared at Randy, who had been silent, and said pleadingly, "Randy......"
"Okay, let's go!"
But before Lawne could finish speaking, Randy met Lawn's eyes and nodded heavily.
As soon as the words fell, Randy immediately turned his head to stare at Marilyn, with a rare trace of unbearability in his eyes, and slowly opened his mouth and said, "They ...... She's gone crazy, let's go, let this zombie go and deserve to be the reward for the food just now. ”
"Okay, Randy, I'll listen to you." Peter was the first to nod in agreement.
"Okay." ……
And after Peter, the others nodded their heads one after another.
Although there are still a few people who have the idea of killing this zombie baby, in this case, these people can only reluctantly agree.
…………
After Betty helped Marilyn bandage the wound on her arm, a group of ten people walked out of the "safe" house.
"The group of zombies that chased us before should be dispersed now, but once we get out of this door, we may be in danger again, I hope you will be prepared immediately, and don't lose your lives because of a moment of laxity."
And this sentence is Randy's admonition to everyone when everyone is about to go out.
A group of ten people stood at the door of the house, and the bleak moonlight reflected on everyone's faces at night, making everyone's faces look pale.
On the streets, the group of zombies that chased them before had basically dispersed, but there were still one or two still roaming the streets.
"Roaring ......"
As soon as they smelled the breath of the living people in the group, the two zombies ran towards them with hideous faces after roaring.
"Hurry up and fix them."
Randy shouted softly, and then grabbed two iron rods and rushed forward.
…………
With previous experience, the two zombies that rushed over this time did not panic the group, and with the concerted efforts of everyone, the two zombies were soon broken and fell to the ground weakly.
Randy and Peter, who had already killed a zombie, gave the last chance to kill the others, and Lawne was fortunate enough to get this opportunity because of his previous work.
"Poof", blood splattered!
"Bang Bang~~~"
Lawne had just pulled the iron rod out of the zombie's head, but before he could catch his breath for a moment, several gunshots suddenly reached his ears.
