Chapter 514: Six Witnesses
The villagers had a lot of opinions, and at first they kept talking to the village chief, but after finding that the village chief never said anything or gave any opinions, the villagers understood that at this time he had left this choice to themselves.
How to choose is their own business.
There is only one life, and this life is their most precious thing, and the village chief can't make a decision for them no matter what.
The previous incident had already caused the four people to lose their lives, the village chief had no face, no thought, and then helped these people to decide what to do, the blame of the previous family, the cry of those family members, and the puzzled eyes of everyone, the old man remembered it deeply.
Even if they usually do so many things for them, even if they have never done anything that is not good for the village, even if...
But when such a situation arises, although the village chief knows that they are to blame himself, it is precisely because of his own decision, and it is precisely because he did not voice his doubts at that time, that the situation has led to today's situation.
However, he still felt a chill in his heart.
Feeling powerless, he has no choice in such a situation, no matter how strong he asks for anything, he strongly restricts everyone to do things according to their own decisions.
He couldn't, and couldn't bear it, the loss of four lives had already crushed the old man's shoulders with the weight of terror, and he no longer had any strength to bear any of them.
Any death will make the old man feel guilty for the rest of his life.
So, he left the choice to everyone.
And he himself, together with this village, will remain under this old tree, waiting for the last moment to come.
The villagers talked a lot, zombies, everyone knows the horror, but few people have seen it, otherwise the village chief alone can confirm that there are zombies from the corpse of the deceased, and some people still have doubts, they don't believe it.
Leaving is to save your life, but leaving may not necessarily be able to survive, you may just die later.
In the middle of summer, the scorching sun was already hanging high in the sky, and the huge fireball was burning in the sky, transmitting the heat to everyone through light and air, but at this moment, even if everyone was standing under the sun, few people felt the heat of the sun.
On the contrary, it is the kind of cold that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, so that everyone has forgotten the present time.
Slowly falling to noon, the old man has been standing under the old locust tree for a long time, he is waiting, waiting for everyone's choice, he is happy to leave and he no longer cares about what is left.
There is only one life, each person is in charge of his own destiny, and no one is qualified to make decisions for another person.
There are not many people who choose to leave, because everyone knows that if they leave here, they may have to live a wandering life, and the road out of the village is likely to be a homeless road.
There were not many people who chose to leave, the old lady was just a little girl at the time, seeing such a situation, of course, she was afraid and wanted to leave, but she didn't dare, she saw the death of the middle-aged man at that time, and later heard about the death of those people.
At that time, she was scared, she wanted to leave, she wanted to leave with her family, she felt fear, she didn't want to live in this fear.
She begged the people in her house, for she could hear the smell of fear in everyone's face, in everyone's tone, and a feeling in her heart told her that if she didn't leave, she would die.
This feeling has no reason and no foundation, but it is so intense, so deep and like a monstrous wave, just in an instant, it completely submerged and swallowed her whole person, and was swept into the bottomless darkness by the vortex that appeared.
She was trembling, and this trembling came from fear, a concrete expression of fear, from the bottom of her heart outward, from her body to her performance.
She wanted to run away right away, but she knew that if she did, her life would change completely.
Wandering is not a simple word.
But in the end, they still chose to leave, it should not be said that they chose to leave, it should be said that they were chosen to leave.
These families all knew that the village chief would not deceive them at this time, because the village chief's family was also staying here at this time, and there might not be a way to help everyone in the village make a decision, but their own family members were under the jurisdiction of the village chief.
At that time, the village chief was the elder of her family.
There were only six young people standing at the entrance of the village, carrying large bags and small wraps, so stupid, stunned, looking at the village in front of them, and the village chief standing under the old locust tree in front of them.
"Leave, children, remember, get out of here, go and don't come back."
The old man's voice was full of powerlessness and loneliness, he looked at the children standing in front of him, and knew in his heart that these six children might be one of the few survivors in this village, those people didn't believe it, but he understood that zombies really appeared.
A few young people wanted to say something, but the old man waved his hand and turned around, not wanting to speak at all, the calloused hand shook and cut off all the retreats of several people.
Everyone gritted their teeth and looked at each other, but in the end they still obeyed the decision of the family, because this was the decision of the village chief, and others could not listen to it, but a few of them, it was decided by all the elders in the family, and even if they went back, they would be driven out again.
They are seeds and hopes, and although the money they bring to them is not much, it is already the only one in every family.
If nothing happens, after a few months, they can come back again, and by then the dealer has matured, and if everyone is still alive, it means that the zombies have spared the village, but...
If they don't see the village when they come back, they are the only hope of the village, carrying the hope of a village to live, good or bad, it is fate.
The road away was extraordinarily long, and the packages on the bodies of several young people were even heavier, which was the endless care of every elder who pinned their lives on them.
The back of the village chief and the old locust tree gradually merged together, the smoke of the cooking in the village drifted in the air, and over a hill, there was no village scene in their eyes, a new beginning, maybe it was coming, but was this really the beginning?
The six young men walked very slowly along the way, they were all silent, none of them knew what to say.
Longing for a new life?
Or is it a concern about the familiar and unfamiliar people in the village?
Or what does that zombie that might exist, or even kill five people, look like?
They didn't have a topic, and they didn't know how to speak, and silence became a tacit understanding between the six of them.
"We... Let's go back and check it out. ”
One of the petite figures suddenly stopped, their small hands clutching the package on their shoulders, their nails digging into their flesh, but they didn't seem to feel any pain at all.
"They..."
The other man stopped talking, but his steps stopped.
Slowly, the footsteps of several people all stopped, looking at each other silently, but they were hesitating in their hearts.
"Why don't we hide the package first, go back to the village and see, and if nothing happens, we'll come back, and then take this opportunity to go out and have some fun, if anything happens..."
He didn't go on, but everyone knew what he meant.
After some deliberation, everyone finally decided, found a small cave, put the large packages on the six people in it, covered them with dry grass, and then quietly walked back, they did not choose the road near the tomb mountain, but chose another, because this road made them feel more at ease.
Living here since childhood, several people are very familiar with this place, although the sun has set, the sky is a little dim, but it does not affect the actions of several people, and finally came to the vicinity of the village, at this time, the moon has hung above the sky.
They tried to get closer to the village, but the girl stopped them because she heard a scream coming from inside the village.
They didn't expect that they would see a scene they would never forget in this place where they grew up.
