Chapter 17: Indifference in Gentleness
On the street where the truck was running, Andy looked at Shalin with a worried face, although there was no revolutionary friendship between him and Shalin, but at the moment Andy was much gentler than he appeared.
He hardly harms ordinary people and the weak, let alone a poor worm who is 'disfigured' in an accident.
And after recalling what happened to him, Shalin slowly came back to his senses from extreme shock.
Despite the unacceptable thing, at least he survived, and no matter what the reason for his resurrection was, Shalin was still the same Sharin, and that would never change.
It was only when he was frightened by the sudden stimulus that he had some physical reactions.
At this moment, he finally realized his gaffe and decided to hide it.
"Sorry, Andy, I just remembered something terrible, and now it's fine. ”
Shalin turned his head 'embarrassed' and looked out the window.
As the night darkened, the buildings and shops on the side of the road thinned out, and the truck finally left Kappa, perhaps because the long night was too dry, Andy decided to liven up the atmosphere.
"Some music?"
"Feel free, I'm all right. ”
Andy pulls a car card out of his arms and inserts it into the truck's built-in stereo, and while it is unknown why there is even a stereo on a delivery truck full of corpses, it doesn't seem like the focus of Sarin's attention.
The cheerful prelude sounds, and Andy shakes along with the rhythm with satisfaction.
“Vodka vodka vodka vodka hey!”
“Vodka you're feeling strong, vodka no more feeling bad!”
“Vodka you eyes are shining,vodka you are the real man!”①
"Shalin, rejoice, you've gotten rid of that city full of monsters and radiation!"
"Maybe you need to light a cigarette, in fact, I also hid a box of vodka in the car, of course drunk driving is absolutely not allowed, but if you need to, I can open a bottle for you to try the taste!"
On the highway, Andy was driving according to the map directions, and loud music came from the modified stereo, shaking the glass.
Shalin also tried to cheer up, and the sleeping little milk cat was awakened by the music and meowed around on his lap.
"Thank you, but I don't really want to drink right now, but thank you anyway. ”
"Hmm...... You're welcome. ”
Andy turned down the sound of the stereo and stopped bothering Shalin, but there was a little more worry and exploration in his eyes.
After about an hour, Shalin finally turned to him and asked.
"Which town will you send me to, the nearest village to the Kappa region?"
"It's not Nishibin Village, I'll take you to Paye Town, all citizens are placed in a quarantine area near Paye Town, you just left from the radiation zone and need to undergo a professional physical examination. ”
"Your friend should be over there, too. ”
Andy made a deliberate addition, but soon realized that he had said the wrong thing.
If he had a reliable friend, he probably wouldn't have been left alone in Kappa City.
After learning that his body had undergone some kind of mutation, Shalin did not want to undergo any physical examination, and if the doctor found out that something was wrong, then he could not be sure what kind of treatment he would suffer.
As for friends......
His face was the same as it was now, and he didn't want to meet them, and he didn't want Keck, and especially Emma, to see his ugliest and hideous appearance.
"I don't want to go to the designated quarantine area, can you take me to Xibin Village?"
"I'm sorry, but it's hard to do. ”
Andy grimaced and continued to explain.
"Now the entrances and exits of the Kappa area are guarded by a lot of people, and no one can leave here without a special permit. ”
"And if you stay in the radiation zone for so long, you should also have a lot of radiation residue on your body, and if you leave the radiation zone like this, it may also cause other areas to be contaminated by radiation. ”
"But I really don't want to ......"
"Shalin, take it easy, I'm just sending you back to the Kappa managers, they kept you in Kappa before, but that doesn't mean they did it on purpose, everyone will have a time when they miss out on the job. ”
Andy was persuaded that he didn't know what Shalin was most afraid of, and in his seemingly gentle tone, there was also an interesting toughness that could not be refused.
The truck slowly drove into the makeshift rest area, and Shalin knew that there was not much time left for him to escape, and in the face of the red-haired man's determination to send him into the Paye quarantine area, Shalin understood that pleading was useless.
He stopped the useless work of this poor man.
If he accepted his fate like this, he might be able to get better care in the quarantine area, but when Shalin looked at Andy's back covered by over-the-shoulder red hair, his throat actually itched and dried up, and his right hand touched the knife in his arms.
The seeds of evil sprouted in Sharin's heart, and he didn't want to plead or show weakness, he just wanted to leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Ever since Andy refused to take Sarin out of quarantine and to send himself out of the Kappa area, he had been thinking about it......
Knock the red-haired man unconscious, then rob him of his car and submachine gun, and I'll be able to get out of Kappa!
Even if the roads in the Kappa area were guarded, I could cross the sea or the deep forests and escape from unguarded places!
Yes, stun him and run away secretly!
The evil thoughts are getting stronger and stronger, and after more than 20 years of ordinary life, Sha Lin is experiencing the germination and short-term stimulation of the criminal's thoughts in his mind at the moment, and he keeps telling himself that everything is forced and that he is forced!
At the same time, another feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger in his heart.
Capa is taken over by mercenaries, making Shalin more suspicious of what Andy calls the so-called quarantine zone.
That night, heavy rains brought radiation into the city of Kappa, and almost everyone was affected by radiation to varying degrees.
So the citizens who seem to be fine for the time being will definitely not mutate in the future?
And said that someone had already thought of this problem before all the citizens of Kappa City were concentrated in a designated quarantine area?
Thinking of this, a chill instantly went from the soles of Shalin's feet to the top of his head.
He looked at Andy's back, his heart was still struggling, there was a 24-hour supermarket in the temporary rest area, the red-haired man went to find milk powder for the little milk cat, and he also carried the car keys and gun with him.
With a trembling hand gripping the handle of the pig-killing knife, he thought of Keck and Emma again, as well as his colleagues in the company.
Even if, even if the darkest thing he had imagined didn't happen in the designated quarantine zone, Shalin didn't want to see anyone who knew him, especially Emma, in the same monster-like ugliness as he was now.
Thinking of the possible disdain on Emma's face, Salin swallowed.
He cautiously jumped out of the truck, looked around weakly, picked up another rock, and tiptoed towards the supermarket......
