Chapter 14: Heroes or Martyrs (The work officially opens)
In this apocalypse, it is no longer a safe choice to stay at home in peace, let alone in the ruins of the wilderness.
It can be said that there are risks and crises everywhere in this world, and no one is immune.
Even if there is no communication now, both Rock and Allen know that Andrew himself is in trouble!
Even if you are lucky enough to get out of danger, it is difficult to determine whether it is a human or a ghost.
Glancing at the time on his watch, Locke asked Alan tentatively. "The hour and a half we've agreed on is up, what do you want to do next? Are we really going to leave like that? ”
However, Allen's situation is not much better, and Andrew's disappearance has greatly affected Allen's mood at the moment.
He was so restless that he couldn't listen to what Locke was saying.
Alan just kept muttering, "What to do?" What to do? What am I going to do......"
Obviously, the pig himself has already been the master of the six gods, and he can't even do the simplest communication.
After all, Alan is a young man about the same age as Locke, and the time when he really encounters things is not so calm, but what Locke didn't expect was that his reaction would be so big.
If you think about it, the main reason is that Alan and Rock have different starting points.
After all, Locke was transcended by another world, and naturally he didn't have the kind of psychology that fell into the end from hope to complete despair, or Locke's more thoughts were equivalent to playing games by himself, and the overall feeling was very relaxed with a book!!
On the other hand, Allen, thinking about it, this can be regarded as the reaction that everyone should have after experiencing the plague, but without Andrew's guidance, Allen's reaction was amplified, and it was magnified to the extent that it was difficult to control himself.
With such a flustered Alan in front of him, Locke had to be the calm side.
It was also the first time that Locke had seen a person have such an overreaction, and the whole person was so crazy.
At this moment, Aaron held his head and kept repeating "what should I do!! ......", his body trembled constantly, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, just like a patient with convulsions.
Locke found it hard to believe that the Alan in front of him was the same person who was very skilled and decisive in the fight against the zombie just now.
It's really unseemly!!
Locke really ignores the condition that he is transcending the stable environment of reality, and he also does not fundamentally understand the cruelty of this last world.
However, Alan has really seen too much despair, too much life and death, and too much irreparable in less than two months.
Can you imagine the horror of a person who was still a living tiger just now, and in a blink of an eye he became a zombie because of infection!!
This is the reality of this world, many people belong to the category of humans one second, and the next second they become hideous-looking biochemical monsters.
The gap between these is probably only felt by those who have seen it with their own eyes.
Alan belongs to this kind of person who has a deep understanding, so he is afraid that he will die, and he is also afraid that Andrew, the backbone of his heart, will suffer the same fate.
Alan's tense nerves had already allowed no accidents to happen.
However, in Allen's eyes, there is probably nothing more terrible than Andrew's accident.
That's why Allen is so crazy that he is on the verge of collapse.
During the moment when Eren went crazy, Locke took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and unscrewed the cap.
A bottle of water was splashed on Allen's face, and Allen's whole person calmed down a lot after being excited.
Although Alan didn't keep talking to himself, his body was still trembling, thinking that it was unlikely that the noon of this hot summer day was because of the cold weather......
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have ...... like this."
"I shouldn't have ...... this"
Eren fell silent again, and his current state was also not very optimistic, but Locke could at least communicate with him normally.
Locke patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "Brother, listen to me!" ”
"Although I don't know much about your relationship with Andrew, you have to face the fact that Andrew may really not come back!"
Alan grabbed Locke by the collar and roared, "What the hell are you talking about? Andrew is a veteran, how could something happen to his skills! ”
"And, and he has a gun in his hand! How could it be so easy to hang up, I don't believe it!! ”
Hearing the words "veteran", Locke understood why Alan relied on and trusted Andrew so much.
Maybe hearing the word "soldier" in this apocalypse will give people an inexplicable strength, not to mention that this veteran is still his own colleague.
"Veterans? Have you ever wondered how many people from the military in the entire H area have died tragically at the hands of zombies, and you still have a lot of faith in the word military? ”
What Locke said can be said to hit Allen's point, and Locke's meaning is just to let Allen face reality.
Although Andrew may be alive, the zombies in the entire H area are moving things.
Andrew wasn't one of them now.
"So, what do you say? Are we really going to just leave Andrew behind? ”
Hearing Allen ask this, Locke's psychology has been somewhat relieved, if one of the three of them is missing, and the other loses his mind, he may be more than lucky.
Locke is still very clear about the truth that there is great strength in numbers.
Alan has now returned to his normal thinking, and Locke is naturally relieved.
"Brother, listen to me! There's no way we're going to save Andrew with so much stuff right now, you're right! ”
Alan nodded, and the expression on his face looked like that of a patient recovering from a serious illness.
Locke continued: "So, let's put all the things we have collected in the trunk of the car first, take out the weapons, and then the two of us will go to Andrew's direction to investigate first." ”
Alan nodded, and after some psychotherapy, the two began to rescue Andrew.
Speaking of which, the two of them really don't have much to collect, and when they first came, the three of them were going to meet every half an hour, and then they continued to collect, but now that the Andrew people are gone, the plan naturally needs to be changed accordingly.
In just five minutes, the two of them were armed and returned to the door of the scrap yard again.
Alan took out his old shotgun from the car and brought a trouser pocket with bullets, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't have enough bullets.
The shotgun in his hand was the most primitive and old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun, the kind that needed to be reloaded twice to shoot two shots.
Although this old-fashioned shotgun is not very accurate, it is strong in the lethality of close range, which is a good choice for dealing with zombies.
Locke pinned his pistol to his waist, carried all his bullets in his backpack, put on body armor, and armed with a baseball bat (he had just picked up) in his right hand.
To be honest, this baseball bat is really not very powerful against zombies, but this baseball bat is really not prepared to kill zombies.
This baseball bat was prepared by Locke especially for Allen......
Allen's performance just now really made Locke sweat, if it weren't for the fact that he and Allen were left now, he wouldn't have taken Allen to save Andrew.
What Locke is afraid of is that if Alan suddenly has a nervous breakdown when he sees Andrew, who died tragically, and if Alan does something drastic during his nervous breakdown and attracts all the zombies nearby, the consequences may be unimaginable.
If Allen was a ticking time bomb now, Locke's baseball bat would be a plier that could cut wires.
Regardless of whether it is described as an image or not, it can be regarded as leaving a way back for yourself......
Although everything that is happening now seems to be going in a bad direction, Locke will still choose to save Andrew.
Although the whole process will be dangerous, Locke can't do such a thing as "throwing it at his savior" anyway.
Even if I really grit my teeth and run away alone, I'm afraid that I will fall into endless self-blame in today's day, what is the meaning of that kind of life.
In the last world, as a programmed ape, Locke faced endless boredom, boredom, and no passion, and after transcending this world, he had to face endless self-blame, and Locke would rather not have such a life.
Either live like a hero after rescuing Andrew, or die like a martyr at the hands of zombies.
Locke would only choose one of the two, and perhaps the status of a hero and a martyr would be more suitable for those who like to take risks.
And Locke is such a person in his bones.
