Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Dilemma
I don't know how many people I was beaten, what I used, or how many times I was beaten, Liu Jie only felt that his whole body was in pain as if it was torn. Coupled with being drenched in gasoline by Guo Rong, the feeling is really worse than death. He was not afraid of death, and in this place, after countless terrible nights, when he killed his first colleague and ate the first piece of human flesh, he knew that one day he would die too. It's just that today's situation, such an ending, is something he couldn't imagine. He longs for death now, whether it is whether he moves their people, or kills his colleagues, or eats their flesh, such a thing, after most of them are discovered, he will not escape death.
But the person in front of him, who was full of ridicule, didn't seem to be ready to let him die so easily. The people around him, some of them were angry, some were indifferent, except that he was frantically hitting his heart, no one else even intervened, including the victim last night, Lu Yang.
Liu Jie roared at first, but he was powerless to return the insult by Zhang Zhao's chattering insults. No matter how hideous his cash is, the other party doesn't seem to care at all. Therefore, Liu Jie simply stopped talking, and the only thing he could do now was to use silence and slowly endure all this.
Zhang Zhao was also tired of scolding, spit on the ground, and said: "I have a hundred ways to let you die in my heart, but I will choose the most complicated one." ”
Liu Jie's pupils contracted for a while, and he thought that Zhang Zhao would torture him to the end and give him a knife happily. He didn't dare to imagine what the other party was talking about was the most complicated way to die.
The crowd gradually dispersed, but Liu Jie was still tied to the pillar, and no one paid attention to him. This place, if it weren't for the corpse tide, they would probably have left today.
The number of corpses is huge, and I don't know if the number has increased or decreased compared to yesterday. After the tracker was killed, the ordinary zombies only wandered outside the camp as if they had lost their leader. Although there were a few evolved zombies during this period, they did not target the camp as fanatically as the trackers.
Compared with the shock when the corpse tide first came yesterday, today is much calmer, everyone knows that the zombies will not attack the camp for a while, so they are simply busy with the things at hand. Guo Rong took a group of people to move the bed frame that was dismantled yesterday to the factory, and the sound of the cutting machine was too loud, for fear that it would stimulate the tide of corpses. After being busy for a long time, I made dozens of steel pipes with spikes.
Those who are idle, either hiding in tents or cars, recuperate and wait for the shift change when night comes. As for that building, no one wants to go anymore. In everyone's hearts, Liu Jie's actions have exceeded human understanding of cruelty and perversion, even if he is a zombie, he shouldn't be happy with it.
Lao Wang was afraid that Lu Yang would not be able to bear what happened last night, and wanted to enlighten him intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't want to, the parties involved in the terrifying night continued to talk and laugh as if they were fine.
Guo Rong knows Zhang Zhao well, he usually doesn't get angry, once someone touches his bottom line, then what he does will definitely be unexpected. The three giants of the team, when they have nothing to do, will nest together to smoke cigarettes and talk for a while. But at the moment, the resources are limited, and there are so many people, and everything is worth one point. The cigarettes I got a few days ago were almost consumed, and at this time, the three of them squatted on the steps, and you and I shared the last cigarette one by one.
Wang Ying and Zhang Zhao have a good relationship, but they can't be compared with Guo Rong. Today's matter, if he follows his approach, he will simply give Liu Jie a knife. But Zhang Zhao's performance, he couldn't understand it, but it was not easy to ask directly. Everyone can see that Zhang Zhao is angry today, and that kind of anger will corrode people's hearts like drug addiction.
Wang Ying didn't dare to ask, not even to tempt. The future is very far away, in his opinion, Zhang Zhao is a good person, and he doesn't want to make everyone feel guilty because of some things. Guo Rong played with the war knife, and the zombies outside the camp were still roaring one after another. No one knows when the tide of corpses will recede. Even if they don't attack the camp, as long as they continue to besiege it like this, within a week, their group will definitely not have good fruit to eat.
"What are you going to do with that guy? I thought I could kill him with a knife and tie him there, and as soon as I saw his eyes, I panicked. Guo Rong was the first to speak, and Wang Ying immediately focused his attention on Zhang Zhao, wanting to see what he had to say.
Zhang Zhaoqu flicked the cigarette butt that he had smoked to his head, and said lightly: "Do you think I will really get along with a pervert, let's tell you the truth, a person like Liu Jie is dangerous to live for one more second, and his behavior is something that no one would do." The cruel things I said during the day, in addition to Liu Jie, were also for other people. ”
"Others?" Wang Ying pondered, although the current people in the team were all escaped from Wuhe Town, unlike the survivors he met by chance on the road. These people have at least been together for a long time, and they all know each other somewhat. To say that they are selfish, that is perfectly normal. In a life-or-death situation, it's hard to guarantee that someone will do something out of the ordinary. Wang Ying and Zhang Zhao worked hard to make some words clear before, but did everyone really take it to heart? Not necessarily.
A team that wants to survive in the last days needs to make some rules, and everyone needs not to forget that it is the foundation of being a human being.
Zhang Zhao knows very well that he can't grasp everyone's heart and turn everyone into one heart. It is even quite possible that as soon as you arrive at the Tokai camp, there will be many people seeking more powerful shelter. So, how many people will be on their side in the future crisis?
There are only two ways in front of you, either let them worship you and blindly support you. Either make them all afraid of you, afraid of you from the bottom of their hearts. Zhang Zhao is not a careerist, and any issues he considers now are for the future. He did not intend to give up on himself at the beginning of the end times.
Liu Jie deserves to die, even if he dies a hundred times, he can't offset his sins. But since he is going to die, he should die for some value. For a person like Liu Jie, who is not afraid of death, he should be dealt with with by extraordinary means. What is Liu Jie afraid of? Torture? Zombie? He was afraid, but not enough to be afraid deep inside.
Zhang Zhao said: "Liu Jie will die, but I won't let him die so easily, now we should think of a way, how to escape here." ”
What he is encountering now is the biggest dilemma he encountered when he escaped from N City, and no matter how thrilling the situation was in the past, at least there was a glimmer of hope. Second, now, in the surrounding wilderness, there is a huge tide of corpses, and they have no way to retreat. Unless God has a long eye and gives them a glimmer of life.
Guo Rong sighed and said, "Why don't you organize some people tomorrow and drive out?" This method is the most risky, and it is the best way he can think of now.
"No, this is too risky, not to mention whether you can break out, even if you break out, who can guarantee that you can lead the corpse tide away? I don't worry about my own people doing it, and I don't worry about others doing it. Zhang Zhao immediately dispelled Guo Rong's thoughts, and deliberately reminded: "Don't do such a stupid thing." ”
Wang Ying was present, and he said it so bluntly, in fact, it showed that he regarded Wang Ying as his own. When he said that he didn't worry about his own people doing it, he meant that his partners around him, and he couldn't bear to let them take this risk. The corpse tide is not a group of corpses, and the difference between the two is too far. There are dense zombies outside the camp, not to mention whether the car can drive out, even if people want to get involved, it must be difficult. If you are not careful, there is a high chance that the person who goes out will lose their lives, and at the same time, it will also provoke a wave of corpses.
In addition, the reason why Zhang Zhao said that he is not worried about others doing it, on the one hand, the people who are sent out must have a very strong courage, this is not a driving trip, and it is very likely that there will be no bones if you are not careful. After all, there are very few people who are willing to do this, and in the hearts of most people, they are willing to stick to their current state because they want to wait for a good opportunity. Moreover, even if someone is willing to do this, they have successfully rushed out of the corpse tide, but in such a life and death situation, can the person who rushed out still remain calm and reduce the burden of leading away the zombies? What if he escaped on his own?
Everyone has selfish intentions, Zhang Zhao doesn't want his partner to be the one who explores the way, and he doesn't want his partner to be the last person left.
"Looks like we'll have to wait a few more days, my God, for our hard sake, don't let us finish it so quickly." Guo Rongcheng's hands were folded together and he muttered the scriptures.
"If the tide of corpses doesn't recede, I have thought of a way, but my method is also very risky." Just when Guo Rong finished reciting Amitabha Buddha for the tenth time, Wang Ying suddenly said.
Guo Rong stopped chanting, his eyes lit up, and he was busy: "What method do you have, let's hear it, three stinkers, top Zhuge Liang." ”
"Do you remember the first time you met me?" Wang Ying asked.
Zhang Zhao thought about it, the first time he met Wang Ying was still vivid, he thought about it for a while, and said excitedly: "I almost forgot, when I met you for the first time, you were covered in the carrion of zombies!" "When I first arrived in Wuhe Town, I found Wang Ying at the B&B, and he was wearing clothes smeared with zombie black and red carrion.
Using the carrion of zombies to smear on the body, and then shuttling among the corpses, this method has appeared in many film and television dramas, such as the American drama The Walking Dead, which ended only a few years ago, this method has been used more than once, and it has been tried and tried.
But thinking of this, Zhang Zhao became worried again: "The method you said is good, but after all, it is all in film and television dramas, have you really tried it?" ”
"Not really." Wang Ying replied very simply, when he was in Wuhe Town, he disemboweled the zombies more than once, and then smeared the flesh and blood all over his coat, but every time he went out, out of human alertness to danger, he would have a safe distance from the zombies.
Speaking of which, everyone's interest was down. However, as the only method that has the potential to transfer all teams at the moment, Zhang Zhao believes that it is still worth trying.
The sun is sinking in the west, and the camp will fall into darkness again. In the darkness of the camp, a few eyes were scanning the entire camp. Last night's incident was too terrifying, so Zhang Zhao, Wang Ying, and Guo Rong decided to take turns to keep vigil.
Liu Jie didn't get a drop of water, and the injuries on his body were not fatal, but they made him miserable. I don't know how many times I fainted and how many times I woke up. He had several more nightmares in which he saw his dead colleagues coming back and asking for his life. But now, he didn't even have the strength to cry and struggle. He looked at the darkness blankly, feeling hairy in his heart, as if in the dark night, there were countless people watching him.
