Chapter 23 People can be cruel, but not without humanity

Li Yao squatted on the ground in a cold sweat. He watched Li Changming cut the two guys who were not as good as death. Every time they cut a strip of meat, they would throw it to a zombie next to him with a broken leg and put on an iron chain. The zombies kept gnawing on the strips he threw like obedient pugs. The two unlucky guys kept begging for mercy, from the beginning to the present begging for death. Looking at the thick white bones that were cut out of their arms, the two guys who had not yet died shouted:

"Please... give me some fun!"

"I...I will never be a human again in my next life, kill me..."

Li Changming's ruthless hands did not let them go. Seeing that the two of them had broken arms, he began to take off their shoes, cut off their toes with a pair of iron scissors and threw them to the zombie who could not be fed.

"No, no, I don't want to die."

The driver kneeling beside him was already silly, but Shasa couldn't stab the dagger in his hand. The little girl cried next to Lorbart's body for a long time. Lin Ximin, who was busy taking care of Meng Yi, had no time to care about her, so Mo Wenyu asked her with a wicked smile:

"Do you want to avenge your grandpa?"

Then he stuffed Shasa a dagger and brought her to the driver, who helped Shasa point at the driver's throat and said:

"Going inside, with just one knife, he will die."

"No, no, little girl, I'm just a driver, it has nothing to do with your grandfather's death!"

"Shut up!"

Mo Wenyu slapped the driver, pulled the driver who fell down sideways again, stood behind him and held his shoulder with his hand, gestured to the driver's throat and said:

"Hurry, Shasa, just kill you. It's accurate and cruel, and you'll never show mercy. If you don't kill him, he will come back to kill you if he escapes!"

"No...No I will definitely not come back, I swear... Woo woo woo woo woo!"

Mo Wenyu was annoyed by his quarrel. He took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into the driver's mouth. The driver looked at Shasa with tears and kept begging her and hoped that she would not take action. Shasa was completely in a state of dullness. Mo Wenyu said with a smile:

"So you don't love your grandfather at all, and you don't even have the courage to avenge him?"

"No......"

Shasa rushed over and stabbed the dagger into the driver's neck. One, two, three, and four, blood splattered on her white little princess skirt, so eye-catching and gorgeous. Li Yao looked at the blood that kept slipping towards him and lowered his head tremblingly.

"What are you doing?"

Darkness walked towards Mo Wenyu and avoided the dagger in Shasa's hand. Mo Wenyu smiled and said to him:

"It's nothing. No matter how powerful a young lion is, he must see blood to understand what it means to be in the jungle and to be a beast."

"roll!"

Darkness drove Mo Wenyu away. He carried Shasa to Zhang Hu'en, who had just left the door. He looked at the miserable scene around him with disgust. He said:

"Look at your subordinates, either crazy or deviant. How are you going to deal with these people?"

Zhang Hu'en pulled out his pistol and walked to Li Changming, who was still cutting his toes. He solved the two people who were still begging for death with two bangs. Li Changming looked up at him and said gritting his teeth:

"They are mine!"

"Bang!"

Zhang Hu'en slapped him in the face and slapped him to the ground.

"Remember, people can be cruel, but they cannot lose their human nature!"

"Bang!"

He raised his hand and shot the zombie who was still gnawing his toes to death, leaving Li Changming who was lying on the ground and began to sob. Tan Zeming stood beside the group of villagers kneeling on the ground with a rifle. He said:

"It's all idlers from the village, and there's no threat, so it's better..."

Zhang Hu'en walked to the first villager and pointed his gun at his forehead and asked:

"Speak a reason for me not to kill you?"

“I…I can join you…”

"Bang!"

"The answer is wrong!"

The second villager shouted quickly:

"Don't kill me, killing people is illegal, and you don't want to be legal..."

"Bang!"

"You are worthy of talking about the king's law?"

Zhang Hu'en suffered two villagers. When the third villager saw him killing two people in a row, he quickly got up and drilled into the woods beside him. Zhang Hu'en shot him in the back. The villagers fell to the ground. The villagers who were not dead were still struggling and crying for pain. Tan Zeming walked over and shot him in the back of the head, ending his pain.

The remaining Li Yao and the other two men and women were frightened and they sat on the ground begging for mercy.

"No, we don't lie, I have no choice!"

"I...I still have value to you!"

Li Yao suddenly lay on the ground and raised his hands and shouted:

"I know a way to Linjiang County. I can take you through Wuliu Township to Linjiang County!"

"Very good, then these two are useless!"

Zhang Hu'en killed the man and woman, arrested Li Yao, who was scared and paralyzed, and threw it to Tan Zeming, saying:

"Take him with you and don't let him run away."

Li Yao looked at his companion who had died all over the place and stood beside Tan Zeming tremblingly, swearing that he would not escape. Tan Zeming said to him:

"They are all your companions. If you don't dig a hole and bury them, how can you bear it?"

"Yes, yes, brother, I'll dig immediately, dig immediately!"

Under Tan Zeming's surveillance, Li Yao used a shovel to dig a hole in the mud on the dirt road. Helun and Wen Shao were digging a hole behind the house, preparing to bury the body of his companion. Zhang Hu'en walked into the half-collapsed refuge. Jin Xiying, who had bandaged his right hand, leaned against him, touched his chest and said:

"Let's leave, I don't want to stay here for a moment."

The lights of several large trucks illuminated the ruins of the shelter like daylight. Darkness walked out with Anne and Edmund in his arms. Seeing Zhang Hu'en standing at the door, he sighed helplessly:

"You are satisfied now, we have to withdraw if we don't."

"The world is impermanent, Captain, who would have thought that they would escape from the zombies but could not escape the same kind of black hands?"

Zhang Hu'en dragged Xudra's body out of the rubble. Seeing Xudra's eyes dying with his eyes closed, he carried his body on his shoulders and walked slowly to the backyard.

Xu Dela, Miao Fengxian, Lorbart, and three companions who followed everyone along the way were buried under the back wall of Wuliu Township Forestry Management Office. Except for Chen Lin who was standing guard and Tan Zeming who was responsible for monitoring Li Yao's work, everyone was surrounded by their graves. Wen Shaozheng coughed and began to eulogy:

"Three brave and fearless fighters. They gave up their wonderful life for our survival..."

Everyone frowned, and Zhang Hu'en quickly made a gesture of getting out of the way to him. Wen Shaozheng quickly put away the eulogy written in advance and stepped aside. Zhang Hu'en walked to Xudra's grave and said:

"I'm not very familiar with him. He is just a big-headed soldier, but he can live happily even without his right hand. Whether in the parody or in the management office, he is the man who is used to facing life and death calmly. To be honest, his superior may know him better than me, Darkness, don't you want to say goodbye to your subordinates?"

Zhang Hu'en retreated aside, and Darkness walked up to him with his head down. He said:

"His name is Xudra, he is a four-year veteran. But you may not know that he has been working in the kitchen class before. The potato skin he peeled is the best in the class. He can constantly peel all the potatoes from a pit, so everyone in the class called him Shudra, Shudra. Because of the responsibility of the soldiers, he was recruited to the front line troops and put down his kitchen knife and picked up his weapons. When he was in Huilong Town, he was my subordinate and often talked to me about his wife in his hometown. Yes. He had given me a letter before, but I didn't want it. I always thought we could go out together, but... but."

The captain couldn't say anything anymore, and he choked and retreated back into the team. Annie, who was sitting beside him, grabbed his hand and found that his right hand was trembling. It was a dog tag of Xudra and Ma Dayuan, intertwined and made a gentle collision sound in the breeze.

Li Changming walked to his mother's grave, knelt there and kowtowed three times, stood up and wiped his dirty face and said:

"I know, you may think I am a beast, but I also have parents. My father is a watchmaker and my mother is a laid-off worker. Since the family's business cannot continue, they have opened a breakfast shop next to Luoshi. They have to get up and make breakfast at mid-3 o'clock every day... They have to be busy until 8 o'clock in the evening to close the stall. Sometimes in order to sell more noodle and a bowl of soy milk, they have to wait for an extra hour in the cold wind. They just rely on... They save money by saving every penny and squeeze out, and then I have to support me after finishing my college degree. I have no money to buy a house, and ask them if I have no money to marry a wife, and ask them... No matter how difficult they are, there is no complaint. Maybe... Maybe you think they are not easy to get along with, but... But she is my mother...my mother."

Zhang Hu'en walked over and patted his shoulder and said:

"Aunt Miao is one of the strongest old men I have ever met. You just need to keep your nature. I think she will rest in peace."

It was the last old drunkard turn. Meng Yi is still unconscious now. Lin Ximin is by his side to take care of him. After Shasa was stimulated, she kept silent. Seeing that she had not spoken, Lao Wen walked out again. He threw the piece of waste paper full of words on the ground, raised his head and looked at everyone and said:

"This dead old man is very stubborn, loves to drink and lose his temper. However, I really admire him very much because he dares to give up his life for the person he loves. Old ghost, my brother knows that you like to drink and didn't give it to you before because he was afraid that you would cause trouble when you drink. Now, my brother can only toast you."

Lao Wen took out two bottles of vodka he had treasured, which he had never been reluctant to drink, unscrewed the lid and poured it on the grave.
