: 225 Choice (Second)
A minute is not long, and it passes quickly.
Not all of them stood up. Less than one-third of the people who chose to drop their weapons and stand on the right side, more people chose to stand firm. They clenched the weapons in their hands and stared at Bai Ye and the others angrily, with anger burning in their eyes, and the previous fear subsided unconsciously.
However, it was not that they were not afraid anymore, but the strong anger supported them to suppress the fear in their hearts. The threat of death inspired the fighting spirit in their hearts. At this moment, they were unwilling to survive, but instead wanted to fight for themselves and for the settlement.
Looking at the performance of these people, Bai Ye was not only not angry, but rather relieved. It seems that the fighting spirit of these people is still there, and it has not reached the point where there is no cure.
If he hadn't wanted to test them, he wouldn't have done this scene at all. Now it seems that the results are quite satisfactory to him.
He and Fang Yuxin thought about the same thing, even if it wasn't for that heavy karma, he didn't want to let so many innocent people die because of him.
Therefore, he planned to test it out to see if these people were worth saving.
Naturally, the other party didn't know about his thoughts. After a minute passed, Bai Ye's sharp eyes swept across the faces of those people again, and said in a deep voice, "You have all made up your mind? I can give you a chance to repent. , this time you only have half a minute, if you want to go back, this is your last chance!"
When he said this, many people panicked. A pair of panicked eyes looked around helplessly, and then someone walked out from the right. Picking up his weapon from the ground, he returned to its original position.
Half a minute passed faster, and one-fifth of the people on the right chose to take back their weapons, while those who had been holding on, still gritted their teeth and persisted.
Even, except for the two "masters" who were seriously injured and unable to move, the remaining eight "masters" even stood up. Holding their weapons, they stood in the middle. Keep your men behind you.
Their faces were pale, and there was even a struggle in their expressions. Obviously, they don't want to do it, but don't know why. They still chose to stand up.
Bai Ye became more and more relieved, but his face became even more ugly. He stared coldly at these defeated generals, and sneered: "It seems that you are determined to court death."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the eight people became even more ugly. They were used to showing off their power before, and they didn't pay attention to those whose strength was lower than them, and they even bullied them. But this time. Seeing that the enemy is now at the juncture of life and death, they have no way to convince themselves to leave other people to escape or even to survive.
One of them stood up. He pleaded: "This time it was our people who did the wrong thing, and I offended a few people who didn't know Taishan. I am willing... willing to apologize to me with death! But the others are innocent, can you please let them go A way to live?"
He said these words very hard, even when he said the words "apology with death". The look on his face was struggling. He didn't really want to die, but to keep others alive. Don't hesitate to give up your life.
Bai Ye looked at him coldly and did not speak. Fang Yuxin walked to Bai Ye's side, holding the Miao-knife in her hand, the blade reflected a faint black glow in the sunlight, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
The people in the settlement looked at her subconsciously, and after their eyes touched the blade in her hand, their body shrank subconsciously.
At this moment, Fang Yuxin suddenly laughed. She glanced at the people on the right, smiled and said, "Okay, now you can go back inside."
However, no one moved, and everyone looked at each other in dismay. After a while, one person asked cautiously, "What about the...other people? You...what are you going to do with them?"
He said "disposition" because in his subconscious, those people had become lambs to be slaughtered. Although he was granted amnesty, he did not feel the slightest joy or sense of superiority. Instead, there was worry and anxiety in his eyes. He was afraid, afraid that Fang Yuxin and others would kill everyone else.
After realizing this, he suddenly regretted it, staring at the weapon thrown on the ground, thinking about getting his weapon back.
Because of the constraints, their weapons are actually very crude. Some are sharpened wooden sticks, some are kitchen knives, fruit knives or daggers fastened with rope and tape on long wooden sticks, and others are steel bars and iron rods.
Obviously, after the end of the world, they are arming themselves as much as possible with the simple conditions they have.
And after he finished speaking, the others did not leave, but looked at Fang Yuxin with pleading eyes, hoping that she could get away with it. Afraid of annoying the other party, they did not dare to speak at will, but they were much more aware of current affairs than those in the safe area where Fang Yuxin and the others had stayed.
Fang Yuxin said deliberately, "You don't want to go back, do you want to die with them? My patience is limited, I only count three times. After three times, those who haven't left will never have a chance to leave!"
"one!"
The voice fell, but no one left.
"two!"
Some people started to riot and looked at each other in dismay. Some people hesitated to leave, but after taking one step, they didn't have the face to take the second step.
"three!"
This sound was extremely short, and it stopped abruptly almost as soon as it was raised. It sounded like a dull thunder in everyone's ears, which made these people wake up from the hesitation and struggle in an instant. After they woke up, some people regretted and turned gray. But more people were relieved.
They are more afraid of this difficult choice than death.
The last chance was gone, death was imminent, and they felt at ease.
So the next moment, these people suddenly rushed to the thrown weapons, grabbed their own weapons, then gritted their teeth and looked at Fang Yuxin and the others with hostility.
...
In the basement of a beautiful three-story villa in the settlement, a man sat cross-legged, his eyes were closed, his muscles were tensed, his face was flushed, his expression was painful and hideous.
At this time, he is at the critical time of promotion, and he is trying his best to hit the bottleneck. However, the severe pain made him unbearable. The bones in his body made a "click" sound because they were too tight, as if they were about to shatter in the next moment, but the more this was the case, the more powerless he felt.
The thin film seemed to be broken with a single poke, but under the full force of his entire body, it only swayed slightly, and there was no sign of breaking.
The man kept mobilizing the remaining energy in his body, and the pain became more and more intense. There were bursts of tearing sensations in his muscles, and red blood slowly seeped out from the pores. Soon, he became a blood man.
The muscles on his face became more and more twisted and tense, and with a sudden "poof", he spit out a blood mist and lowered his head weakly.
After a while, his fingers moved slightly, his eyelids opened tremblingly, looking at the blood on the ground, he smiled sullenly, then grabbed the crystal core from the side and absorbed it desperately.
He knew that this promotion failed, but he couldn't give up, he had to live!
More and more nuclei were absorbed by him. When the energy in his body became full again, he stopped absorbing the nuclei, walked to the corner, wiped off the blood and cold sweat left on his body with clean water, and picked up the clean clothes prepared next to him. Putting it on, he pushed open the basement door and walked out.
He didn't know that as soon as he walked out, he saw a woman with an anxious look. He suddenly made a "crack" in his heart, giving birth to a strong sense of unease.
Walking in front of the woman, he asked anxiously, "Ranqiu, is something wrong? Is there a zombie group? How is the situation outside?"
As soon as Li Ranqiu saw him, his dim eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Feng, you finally came out! Is the promotion going well?"
However, when she asked, the man's face sank. The failure to advance in the promotion was a wound in his heart. He didn't want to be touched by anyone, even if the other party was his favorite woman!
Li Ranqiu was very smart. When she saw the man's face was wrong, she immediately said: "Brother Feng, the big thing is bad, a group of people came outside, I heard that the strength is very powerful, and all the top ten masters have gone, but it is not them. My opponent, what should I do?" She said here, her eyes flashed slightly, and she continued, "Brother Feng, the people below are still standing outside, let's run away!"
"Escape?" Brother Feng was preparing a weapon, and when he heard this, his face instantly became extremely ugly, and his eyes shot at Li Ranqiu like a sharp knife, "You told me to throw my brothers away and escape? "
A look of struggle flashed in Li Ranqiu's eyes, but he still said: "The people who came this time are very powerful. If we don't escape, it will be too late when they come in! Brother Feng, I know you can't let go of the brothers under your command. , but as the saying goes, if you stay in the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
When she said this, Brother Feng felt a little shaken in his heart. The group of people below all came from the post-apocalyptic era, and he was not good to them, because he was the strongest and received the most of the usual benefits. In order to control the strength of the people under him, so that they would not grow faster than him, most of the crystal cores obtained after killing zombies were used by him to cultivate, and those magical stones were also hidden by him. When he got up, the mysterious spar he obtained was only distributed to ten of his subordinates as a reward, and he cultivated them into the top ten masters who were second only to him in the settlement.
So if you really want to talk about feelings, it's not really deep. But he is a man after all, and he has been honored by those under his command for so long, and he can't do it for letting him escape like this!
Seeing his hesitation, Li Ranqiu panicked and said tearfully, "Brother Feng, time is running out, make a decision quickly!" (To be continued)
