Chapter XXVI Decisions
When Du Jiujiu woke up, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
By the second night, the energy in her body had gradually slowed down a lot, but until now, the energy contained in her body was still five times as high as before.
During the period of time since Du Jiujiu fell asleep, Xiaowen's mental power has always been turned on in a small area, monitoring Yao Meng, who was locked up, while paying attention to Du Jiujiu's physical condition.
Therefore, Du Jiujiu just showed signs of awakening, and was discovered by Xiaowen in time and notified everyone.
As soon as Du Jiujiu opened his eyes, he saw a circle of people in front of the bed, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. The prolonged lethargy left her memory briefly vacant.
After a series of inquiries and comforts from several people, Du Jiujiu remembered what happened before he fell into a coma.
"I killed someone...... Du Jiujiu's mind kept echoing this sentence.
That's not an empty name, not a string of cold data, but a real, flesh-and-blood person with a life and a dream. Before the end of the world, she couldn't bear to trample even an ant to death. However, yesterday, with a knife in her hand, she ended a person's life in a moment.
For a while, Du Jiujiu fell into the whirlpool of self-blame and couldn't extricate herself, the moral values she had established over the years were shattered by her own hands, although intellectually she didn't think that what she had done was wrong, but she still couldn't let go.
"Jiujiu!" An Cheng saw Du Jiujiu's pain, and grabbed her shoulders with both hands.
"You're not wrong, you're just protecting yourself! If you hadn't made a move that day, not only yourself, but even me, Xiaoyun, Guoguo, and Xiaowen, all of us would be in danger! The world is different now, and the law of the jungle is the new law! I know it might be hard for you to accept this all of a sudden, but only then will we survive the end times! ”
Du Jiujiu raised his head, looked at An Cheng, who was trying to make himself no longer uncomfortable, and Hu Xiaoyun, Guoguo and Xiaowen, who were looking at him with worry, and a tear flowed uncontrollably.
"I know...... Thank you, thank you for always being with me. And Sister Xiaoyun, yesterday my mind was so chaotic, I just wanted to kill people, if you hadn't stopped me and made me sober, I really don't know what I would have become. Du Jiujiu remembered her crazy appearance yesterday, and was very afraid, if she was alone at that time and no one woke her up, would she fall into it forever and become a murderous machine......
"Jiujiu, don't worry, we will always be by your side, because we are companions!" Hu Xiaoyun hugged her distressedly.
"Well, we're companions!"
In the past few days when Du Jiujiu was asleep, several of them had already knitted all five vests, and Guoguo happily took the one that belonged to Du Jiujiu and handed it to her.
The vest is so light that it doesn't feel weighty at all, but its comfortable touch doesn't affect its defensive effect, not only can it resist flames, but even ordinary knives can't easily pierce it.
What's even more surprising is that the feathers of the woven vest have a thin layer of grease-like stuff on them, which is not only very waterproof, but also can be easily wiped off even if it rubs dirty, which saves a few people the trouble of changing clothes.
After changing his clothes, An Cheng walked over and said with some hesitation: "Although you have just experienced so much, now may not be the time, but ...... There's one person you still have to meet. ”
Du Jiujiu was a little puzzled, but he still followed An Cheng and walked to the door of a bedroom next to him.
An Cheng raised his hand and lightly touched the handle of the door, and the silver light flashed, and the door lock opened automatically.
The moment he pushed the door open, Du Jiujiu only smelled a disgusting smell, just like a public toilet that had not been cleaned for a long time. She looked into the room, and in the middle of the floor, there was a thin woman, and there was a puddle of dark yellow liquid under her, which, combined with the smell of the room, was not difficult to imagine what it was.
The man on the ground heard the sound of the door opening, and struggled to raise his head, trying to get up, but he was entangled in the wire on his body and could not move.
At this time, Du Jiujiu saw her face clearly, it was Yao Meng, who was defeated by herself that day and was almost killed. Her face was very pale, her cheeks had collapsed with hunger, and her lips were chapped and oozing blood.
Today, she can't be fully described with just the word embarrassment. In the past few days, because her hands and feet are all tied, and no one pays attention to her, not to mention that there is no food or water to drink, even convenience has become a big problem.
At first, Yao Meng tried her best to endure it, but as time went by, she still couldn't help it and stayed on the ground. The physical pain and mental torture had destroyed her original self-esteem, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse.
"Ask for ...... Please...... Please, let it go...... Let me ......, I'll ...... I can't stand it......" Yao Meng pleaded with all her strength, her voice was hoarse, and she had to be carefully discerned to hear it clearly.
"Yao Meng? How could she be here?! Du Jiujiu asked An Cheng in surprise.
"Could it be that she has harmed you like this, and we will let her go so easily?" An Cheng looked at Yao Meng coldly, "Jiujiu, this person is handed over to you to dispose of, if you want to kill her or let her go, we have no opinion." ”
Du Jiujiu looked at Yao Meng again, Yao Meng heard An Cheng's words, and knew that his power of life and death was in Du Jiujiu's hands, his eyes immediately turned to her, and he began to cry and plead.
"When you instigated them to come and trouble us together, when you attacked me mercilessly, you probably didn't expect that you would end up like this, right? If I hadn't been as good as anyone that day, I probably wouldn't have survived now. ”
Du Jiujiu sighed and shook his head slightly, "I once heard a saying, 'To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself', which is simply appropriate in today's world." As much as I would love to spare you, I can't let my companions take on this danger together, so ...... Sorry! ”
Hu Xiaoyun was trying on the various colors of nail polish she had collected in her bedroom when she suddenly heard a scream coming from next door. She put down the things in her hand, quickly stood up and walked out, "Is there something wrong with Jiujiu and them?" ”
Before she could walk out of the door, she was pulled by Xiaowen, "You don't need to go over, it's Yao Meng." Jiujiu her...... The decision was made. ”
Xiaowen's face showed a little approval, but there were also some regrets.
