WD-0014 Matthew's choice

"Did you know that Sam was looking for someone to ask for a gun to protect you?" Rick said straight to the point.

Jesse's heart was broken when he heard this, as a mother, she should have protected her child, but now she let her youngest son have such a dangerous idea to protect herself, and tears flowed down instantly.

"If you don't change, you're going to die, and I don't want you to die!" Rick got closer and closer.

Jesse looked at Rick who was close at hand, and asked with tears in his eyes, "If it were anyone else, would you do the same?" ”

"No, it won't!" Under Jesse's gaze, Rick lowered his head and affirmed his heart for Jesse, and then looked up at Jesse again and emphasized: "I can protect you and your children, all you need is to say, okay!" ”

Jesse was stunned in a daze, full of thoughts, on the one hand, the surprise behavior of her youngest son Sam frightened her, on the other hand, her husband's abuse from time to time, plus the persuasion of Rick, who was very good in front of him and had a lot of affection, and the love of Rick kept confessing persuasion, the balance in Jesse's heart had tilted towards Rick's side, looked at Rick and said, "Okay! ”

The corners of Rick's mouth curled slightly, and at this moment, Jesse's husband came down from upstairs and was unhappy when he saw the two of them so close, but he still opened his mouth to say hello: "Rick, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Rick had already gotten what he wanted, and with a smile on his face, he didn't answer.

And although Jesse has made up her mind to leave her husband, she still subconsciously wants to dissuade her husband from looking at her husband's ugly face at the moment.

But Jesse's dissuasion made Jesse's husband understand instantly, and said with a blue face: "Rick, please leave now!" ”

Rick still ignored and didn't speak.

Jesse knew that it was time for him to make a choice, so he stepped forward, blocked her husband, and said slowly: "Pete, it's you who should leave!" ”

"What do you say? What did you just talk about? What good did you both do??? Jesse's husband was furious, pushed Jesse away, and walked up to Rick and asked.

Rick was smug in his heart, but said, "Now we both get out of here!" ”

"You've come to my house......" Jesse's husband said word by word, gritting his teeth.

Before he could finish speaking, Rick immediately repeated again, "Let's get out of here now!" ”

"It's you who should leave, do you think you represent the law? Do you really think it's up to you here? Jesse's husband approached Rick step by step.

"Stand back!" Rick warned.

"Who do you think you are?" Jesse's husband ignores Rick's warning.

"I'm trying to restrain myself from killing you!" Rick's anger grew.

Jesse's husband was originally short-tempered, and when he heard this, he was even more angry, and punched Rick, Rick was already on guard, easily dodged this punch, and punched to meet it, the two of them fought back and forth, next to Jesse wanted to dissuade him, but the two didn't listen at all, and after a while, Rick slammed Jesse's husband out of the glass window into the street outside, and the two continued to fight.

Although Rick has been fighting for a long time, after all, he suffers in physical condition, Jesse's husband is much taller than him, so Rick is at a disadvantage, and was beaten by Jesse's husband with blood on his face, pinching his neck and pressing him to the ground, everyone has watched and dissuaded, but how can Jesse's husband listen to it at this moment.

Rick struggled desperately, and finally turned over and strangled Jesse's husband with his arm, and the community leader Diana rushed to stop him when he heard the news, but Rick had only one thought at the moment, that is, to strangle Jesse's husband and ignore Diana's order at all.

Diana motioned for the others to come forward and hold them, but Rick took out a pistol from his waist and pointed at the crowd: "Do you want to drive me away?" You don't understand, we know what to do, and we never hesitate, we are survivors, and you are just planning, hesitating, you think you know everything, but you don't understand anything! It's not like you can get better if you want to, your suit doesn't apply anymore, from now on we should decide who can stay and who leaves! ”

Everyone was shocked, and subconsciously took a step back, Diana regretted it extremely much at the moment, feeling that it was a mistake to choose Rick and them to blend in, and said in disappointment: "We know very well who should leave here!" ”

"Me? Do you mean me? Rick laughed at himself with a bloodstained face, "Your ...... that kills people"

The knife girl was beside her, and when she saw that Rick was talking more and more, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish it, so she walked quickly to Rick's side and knocked Rick unconscious with one punch! The men treated the wounds on Rick's face and locked him up.

Matthew watched from the sidelines, but he didn't do anything else, because there is indeed a problem with this community, and if it doesn't change, it will definitely die a miserable death in the future! For example, the community leader Diana was only exiled to the community criminals, which caused an extremely dangerous organization to appear outside, constantly peeking into the Alexandria community! If they hadn't joined, they might have fallen.

Diana had already sensed Rick's thoughts at this moment, and knew that if she didn't kick him out, then she would not be able to lead the Alexandria community, so she told Maggie and the others who came to intercede that they would hold a community meeting in the evening and vote on Rick's stay or not.

Maggie disagreed, because this seemingly democratic approach in the end times would not work, and the rest of the community had not experienced the cruel world outside at all, and now they were horrified to see Rick's appearance, and they must have chosen to exile him.

Diana had already made up her mind in her heart, and said perfunctorily: "Everyone talks about their ideas, and of course it is up to me to make the decision in the end!" ”

Maggie saw Diana's thoughts, and knew that no further persuasion would help, so she turned away and prepared to visit the family to explain Rick's behavior.

Rick had come to his senses at the moment, and when he saw everyone surrounding him, he laughed to himself, "I messed things up!" ”

Glenn said, "Diana has a meeting tonight to decide where you want to stay, and Maggie is helping to win over the community!" ”

Carol said, "When the time comes, you can just make up a story and coax them, they are all ignorant little children!" I've always done that! ”

"No, I'm not going to do that, and if it gets to that point, we're going to get them under control and threaten them to hand over their weapons......" Rick shook his head.

Although the other people were reluctant, their long-term cooperation made them willing to obey Rick's leadership, and they didn't say much.

Carol went to Jesse's house at the moment, pointed a knife at Jesse's husband, and threatened to kill him, at first Jesse's husband only thought Carol was joking, as Carol analyzed step by step, Jesse's husband believed that Carol really dared to kill himself, because of Carol's hiding, other people in the community have always regarded her as a housewife, how could he take the initiative to provoke the grumpy Pete, it must have been Pete who beat Carol violently, and Carol killed Pete by mistake for a while.

Jesse's husband, Pete, flinched, and even if Carol ridiculed him as a useless coward, he put up with it, because he was really afraid of Carol.

As night fell, everyone gathered in the courtyard of Diana's house to discuss a solution to this matter! Rick was about to go to the party, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly found that the gate of the community was opened, and the zombies had already come in I don't know how many, so he immediately searched the community and hunted the zombies.

Diana leads everyone to reject Rick, but Maggie and the others speak out about the cruel status quo of the outside world, and if you want to survive, you must have such a leader, because Rick today is the future of everyone in the community, if everyone can survive until that time.

Diana was uneasy to see that everyone was gradually being convinced, so she emphasized the fact again: "I want to tell you one more news, Father Gabriel, who came in with Rick and them, came to me yesterday and told me that Rick and their team are not trustworthy, and they will definitely put their own interests above the interests of the community, and this happened today......"

Jesse asked rhetorically at the moment: "You said that Father Gabriel said this, so is there a video to prove it?" ”

Diana glanced at Jesse with an ugly face, this was the first time someone questioned her words in person, at this moment, Matthew stood up and said: "Hello everyone, I just heard Diana say that Gabriel questioned the character of Rick and the whole team, I will say a few words as a newcomer who has just joined Rick's team not long ago!" ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were gathered, Matthew smiled and said: "I only joined the Rick team more than half a month ago, maybe everyone thought that I chose to join because I couldn't survive alone outside, but what I want to tell you is that before this, I lived in a safer community than here, there is a hospital, there is a steel and concrete barrier, no matter how many zombies can enter, and there is no shortage of electricity, food, water, doctors, etc. in the hospital, except that the scope of life is not wide enough, It's the same life as it was before the disaster, but why should I choose to leave this life and join the wandering, crisis-ridden Rick? ”

Speaking of this, Matthew deliberately paused for a while, looked around at everyone, saw that everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, smiled in his heart, and continued: "Because in this apocalyptic world, the team is the most important!" There is no team like a family, there is no leader who treats team members as family, knows the cruelty of the apocalypse, and is rational and cold, even if he has excellent external conditions and can live a worry-free life for a while, but in the end he will collapse because of internal and external threats! And Rick's team is such a team, and Rick is such a leader, so I resolutely gave up a stable life and chose Rick and them, because I know that only they are the real survivors of the apocalypse and the hope of mankind! ”

Maggie and the others were inexplicably moved by this, while the rest of the community was also deeply inspired by it, and they had a new positive understanding of Rick's image.

At this moment, Rick came in with a zombie and fell to the ground, scaring everyone in the community to retreat again and again, Rick told the situation, Diana's son was in charge of the access control, which was incredible, but he had to bow his head in front of the facts, and under Diana's orders, he quickly ran over to check.

And Rick once again emphasizes the importance of community change! Diana still objected in her heart, and when she just wanted to refute, she saw Jesse's husband holding a wine bottle in one hand and a long machete in the other, and walked over in a flash, scolding Rick in his mouth, Diana's husband walked over and wanted to stop it, but was touched by the grumpy Jesse's husband in the neck, everyone was shocked, and quickly subdued Jesse's husband, and Diana held her lover's dying body, crying bitterly, at this moment her heart was full of remorse, and the disaster was in pain, staring at Jesse's husband with hatred, Said to Rick, "Rick, kill him!" ”

When Jesse's husband touched Diana's husband's neck, Rick's eyes were a little strange, and he looked at Diana with a smile, as if he was curious about what Diana would do with this matter, or did he choose to exile?

Hearing Diana's order, Rick was not surprised, his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately pulled out his pistol, and without saying a word, shot and killed Jesse's husband.

Matthew sighed, knowing the plot, he could have chosen to save Diana's husband, but he still chose to stand by, he is not a savior, just an ordinary person who travels through time and space and works hard for immortality! If he is saved, then Diana will not choose to let go of the leadership in his hands, and when the time comes, Rick's team will either choose to leave or choose to forcibly seize it, either way will split the community, which is not good for Matthew's future plans.

And there are several advantages to choosing to do nothing: first, I have said a lot of good things for Rick just now, and I believe it is enough to brush up on Rick's favor! The second is that Rick comes to power and integrates community resources, and once he gets Rick's approval, he can put forward a city plan, and I believe that with Rick's reason, he will choose to agree to his plan! And if Diana is in power, she will definitely choose to continue to live this seemingly stable life, and Matthew's origin point will be difficult to obtain.

"People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake!" Matthew said to himself.
