Chapter 42 The Times Create Heroes
"I don't accept it, I don't accept it - I don't accept it! What you said, you said give me a chance to live! You don't talk much, you go back on your word! No one will trust you again! ”
The young murderer who killed Zhang Xinyi's father was tied up at dawn the next day and pushed to the casino hall, and the heavy iron chain forced him to kneel on the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's your last word?" Yang Xiaoqian clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking at this young man like a play, dressed neatly, and there were already many cracks in the suit on his body, but it can be seen from his fabric and LOGO that although it is not a top-level luxury custom suit by a famous designer, it is also a valuable luxury.
Maybe he used to be a promising young man with a bright future, or maybe he used to be a rich and noble son who had no worries about food and clothing.
But it doesn't matter, no matter who he was before, today he is destined to be a dead man.
The people stranded in the casino were attracted by the shouting, and stood sporadically in one place to watch, and when the hateful gaze of hundreds of people focused on him, the young man in the suit felt a noticeable burn.
"You idiots! Do you still listen to him? He's a villain who doesn't keep his promises! The young man in the suit turned his head and yelled at a dozen of his former companions, and his former "companions" looked away and did not dare to make a sound.
"Well, the surviving Yuanjiang compatriots, hello everyone." Yang Xiaoqian cleared his throat and said loudly, "Presumably Mr. Wang Liwang has already explained our identity and origin to you, I'm sorry that we were late and couldn't stop this group of gangsters from committing evil in time." ”
"But please rest assured, this group of gangsters has all been punished, the first evil Xiao Guang has been executed yesterday, and we will do our best to protect everyone's personal safety in the future. And the person you see now has killed at least three innocent citizens by extremely cruel means, and his crime is extremely heinous and unforgivable! “
Yang Xiaoqian did not try to incite the crowd of onlookers, there was no need, and there was no way to incite them, these gamblers who could come to Paradise Island to have fun were not like poor medieval peasants who could not read big words. It's hard to easily stir up their emotions with a few words - at least in the current scene, Yang Xiaoqian thinks he can't do it.
"You said that as long as I confessed, you would give me a chance to live, but you don't have credibility." The young man in the suit turned over and over with such a sentence, his face was gray, and he obviously knew that he was going to die, and he didn't even have the strength to be hysterical.
"A thug like this deserves to pay for the lives of those who were killed!" A sinister and evil smile appeared on Yang Xiaoqian's face, "But I said to give him a chance to survive, I mean what I say, Wang Hai, let go of him and give him a knife." ”
The onlookers dispersed with screams.
Wang Hai, who had seen Yang Xiaoqian's tricks, did not hesitate, and immediately untied the young man in the suit and stuffed a tactical dagger in his hand.
The young man in the suit had not yet recovered from this huge and abrupt turn, and his expression was sluggish, clutching the dagger, not knowing what to do.
"I think he will feel extremely remorse and shame for what he has done, unable to endure his sin, and will not have the courage to continue living, so he chooses to judge himself." Yang Xiaoqian said loudly.
The young man in the suit remembered what he had seen last night, his face changed drastically, and before he could react, his right hand, which was clenching the dagger, stabbed it into his own throat.
"Shhh
Blood seeped through the cracks between the fingers he had clutched around his throat, splattering in all directions, and after a few seconds he collapsed limply, his brain starved of oxygen from suffocation, and before long his convulsive body would be a stiff corpse.
"Well, he really can't stand his sin." Yang Xiaoqian nodded, glanced at Wang Li, and pulled Zhang Xinyi, who was crying again, and left the scene.
Seeing Yang Xiaoqian leave the hall, Wang Li stood on the temporary high platform, raised the megaphone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please join me in thanking them for their timely rescue. Please rest assured, although the situation in Yuanjiang City is precarious, neither zombies nor viruses can threaten us on Paradise Island. ”
"I know that everyone is patiently hungry right now, so please hold on for a while longer, and we will distribute the food in accordance with the amount after all the food has been fully quarantined. Now please cooperate with my work, go to the front desk to fill out the form, record the name, age and previous occupation, after filling out, each person can receive a bottle of pure water, there are many tents that have been set up outside, each tent lives for two people, men and women are not allowed to live together, there are family members or couples can submit an application, apply for allocation in the same or adjacent tent. ”
"After completing the form and assigning the tent, please go to the locker room according to your size to choose the appropriate spare work clothes, please wear jewelry ladies temporarily leave the jewelry at our front desk, the front desk staff will keep it on your behalf, all for your safety reasons, we hope you can cooperate."
Looking at the young man in a suit who fell to the ground and died and the dozen or so casino thugs with guns behind Wang Li, hundreds of tourists did not object, and quietly lined up to start filling out the form.
As Yang Xiaoqian said, there are almost no fools among these people - even if there were before, they were washed away by Xiao Guang with bloody means.
"Boss, there are enough rooms in the hotel inside the casino, why do you want to drive them to live in tents?" An old fellow behind Wang Li who had followed Wang Li for many years asked softly, and several thugs next to him who were not qualified to ask questions all pricked up their ears to listen.
"Perhaps in the future, there will be shortages of food and drinking water, and cigarettes and alcohol will become a luxury, and these things can be considered as rewards. But before that day comes, before everyone's perception of everyday objects changes dramatically, what can we do to reward those who do well among them? Wang Li showed an unfathomable smile and asked himself, "Of course, it is a warm and comfortable house, and if you give them directly, they will only feel that they should take it for granted, first deprive them with a tough attitude when their mental state is at a low point and they have no idea of rebellion and rebellion, and then reward those who perform well, so that they can be grateful to Dade." ”
"Not only that, but there is a subtle division of classes, not only between them and our class, but also between them: those who obey us and behave well, and those who do not obey our passivity, let them have differences and disagreements within themselves, and guide the contradictions between them, and we will not be the target of public criticism. In the absence of absolute strength, the separation of powers and checks and balances are the essence of maintaining power. ”
The old man suddenly realized, and then asked, "But why do you want them to change into the spare work clothes of our staff?" And why take away the women's jewelry? ”
"Let them wear gold and silver every day, and they will be reminded of their previous identities from time to time, and they will resist the fact that they are ordered to do so. Moreover, the uniformity of clothing can make them feel more integrated, make them feel like they are in the same boat, and more or less reduce their hostility towards us. Wang Li explained.
"I see, the boss is smart." Several thugs were full of admiration.
Wang Li laughed, but his mind was thinking of the young man who made his heart palpitate and tremble
"It's not that I'm smart, it's that he's smart." Wang Li thought to himself.
"I'll oversee order in the hall." Wang Hai stood beside Wang Li with the twelve people he had collected yesterday, scanning the columns of people in the hall.
"What do you think of Yang Xiao...... What kind of person is Mr. Yang? Wang Li suddenly plucked up the courage to ask.
Wang Hai glanced at him, thought for a while, and said, "Terrible person. ”
"Is that a high rating?" Wang Li didn't understand Wang Hai, and he wasn't sure what he meant.
"He's got a very clever mind, and you know that better than I do. But there are millions of people in Yuanjiang, and there are not 10,000 but 8,000 people with smart minds, this is not what is terrible about him, what is terrible about him is his growth speed and way of thinking. Wang Hai recalled the first time he saw Yang Xiaoqian in the community and the few battles now.
"The first battle since I met him was when I met those two monsters at the ferry, and he just sensed the danger and began to panic, trembling when he spoke, and asked me directly about the battle plan, and quickly relaxed his vigilance after solving the first monster, causing himself to be in distress and letting the student die because of it."
"Just a few hours later, when I landed on Paradise Island, I met those people who were chasing and killing the girl, and you saw his reaction, so I don't need to say more."
Of course, those few people could not pose a threat in the first place, and his calmness was not surprising. But later, when we wanted to sneak attack Xiao Guang and were discovered, in just two or three minutes, he was under tremendous pressure and danger, and made an ingenious and well-thought-out battle plan using the very little information I provided. ”
"You may not know how difficult it is, Xiao Guang's ability we have seen before, it can turn into metal, and Yu Qian can control metal. I think many people will immediately cheer when they see Xiao Guang's ability, thinking that they will definitely win, and then walk out with a big grin, completely ignoring whether his ability is just as simple as appearance, and whether the other party has support. ”
As for Yang Xiaoqian, he began to consider whether the other party had only one awakened person at the first time, whether it was metal after transformation, and began to consider the means of temptation. Not only that, but he also analyzed the information I provided and found Xiao Guang's psychological weakness - it was not easy to find this weakness, and it was even more difficult to find a weakness that was not obvious when he clearly saw the obvious weakness of the other party. ”
"But Yang Xiaoqian did it, not only that, but he also made the worst plan before going out, if his speculation was completely wrong and the plan completely failed, he also arranged for Yu Qian to be his follower."
"Then he led me out in an extremely arrogant manner, scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, attracting all the attention, on the one hand creating an opportunity for Yu Qian, and on the other hand, taking advantage of Xiao Guang's psychological weakness to disrupt his judgment."
"Then he disguised his ability - although he didn't know what his superpower was, but it was certainly not what he said - deliberately exposed to Xiao Guang, making Xiao Guang suspicious and entangled, making Xiao Guang's clever mind a burden to himself, and after restraining Xiao Guang, he used words to test and deduce that there were no other awakened people in the other team, and finally used the magnet to test whether Xiao Guang's body had turned metal."
"After completely eliminating all variables and determining the victory, he opened his hole cards to kill, from beginning to end, Xiao Guang has been following the script he wrote, and he has not been able to do it until he dies."
"It seems that metal mastery vs. metal transformation is a sure win, but that's what we see in hindsight. From the perspective of the parties, Yang Xiaoqian can not be carried away under his own advantageous conditions, list so many unexpected possibilities in such a short period of time, and prepare the means of testing and coping methods one by one. And even if it comes to this! He still assumed that he had completely miscalculated and left his hole cards ......"
"In other words, even if Xiao Guang's ability is not to transform into metal, even if Xiao Guang still has helpers, even if the information I provide is not true, even if his own analysis is wrong, he is still invincible."
"And this is only half a day after his last flustered battle performance, don't you think such an enemy is terrifying?" After Wang Hai finished speaking, he took a slight breath, his expression was much more relaxed than before, it seemed that he had the need to talk before, no wonder he would say so much in one breath.
Wang Li listened with a dry mouth, cold sweat crawled all over his back, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Can a student really achieve this level in such a short period of time?" ”
Wang Hai shook his head and replied in frustration: "I don't know, maybe some people are born for the battlefield." ”
"If there is no catastrophe, maybe he will finish the college entrance examination and study in college safely, play games and read books, chase girls to sleep, and then graduate and find a job, work hard until he is old, he may encounter opportunities and soar, or he may be mediocre and inactive for a lifetime." Wang Li said with emotion, "But now...... The times make heroes. ”
"Such a person, do you think he may be mediocre?" Wang Hai asked rhetorically with strong suspicion.
"Who knows, you are a special soldier, if you are born in troubled times, you may be promoted all the way, if you have a coincidence, you will be a general. But what did you do in a peaceful and prosperous world? Become a security guard after being discharged from the military? Farming? ”
Wang Hai didn't refute again, was silent for a long time, and said: "I would rather cultivate the fields and farm in the era of peace and prosperity and watch the peace of the country and the people, rather than in the era of war, I would like to have heavy troops in my hands and watch the people make a living." ”
"You have a high consciousness, I am vulgar, hehe, no wonder you carry a gun as a soldier, I go to the sea to engage in business." Wang Li sneered and took out his cigarette case, "Do you smoke?" ”
"Whole one."
"Speaking of which, we are all surnamed Wang, and we are still our own family, and we were not brothers five hundred years ago."
"Nonsense."
"Hahaha."
