Chapter 620: I have a regret medicine
"No! They are not hostages! I'm telling the truth, Yama King, spare my life..."
Skinny Monkey completely collapsed under the other party's gaze, snot and tears flowing together, incoherently confessing everything.
There were no captives or hostages at all. All twenty-six people were in the same group, survivors who had gathered from several villages, and later joined the Longtou Camp together, maintaining contact for a long time. Seeing that the Longtou Camp was in jeopardy, they decided to run away together.
Just as Zhang Su had expected, the Longtou deserters would have people scouting the situation ahead, but they had noticed them earlier, early enough to see the Yama Legion driving to the railway bridge...
"The scout saw you all carrying guns, so he had... had crooked thoughts. I tried my best to persuade them not to create extra trouble and to avoid the edge, but... but the others in the team wouldn't listen. They were jealous of your weapons and insisted on trying Plan C. I really couldn't persuade them, I'm a good person!"
Skinny Monkey cried and said it as if it were true.
It's just a pity that no one in the Yama Legion believed him, not even Yu Qing, who was the kindest, scoffed at his words. Was this human talk?
"Come, tell me what Plan C is."
Zhang Su put his sunglasses back on and asked in a calm tone.
Seeing the other side being amiable, Skinny Monkey felt there was hope for survival, thinking it must be his sincerity that had moved the other side, and hurriedly answered.
Plan C was simple: use the half-grown boys and women as bargaining chips for exchange. Children and women were highly deceptive. All seven of them had undergone special training. Once the trade happened, they would suffer a huge loss.
"And then they naively believed your words, not knowing your real purpose was to let one of them be a bomb! Right?"
Zhang Su's dull words knocked on everyone's heart. The power of the explosion just now couldn't be compared to the grapes, but if standing within ten meters, it was hard to guarantee getting away unscathed!
Skinny Monkey nodded with difficulty with a mournful face: "This wasn't my idea, really not, it was decided by everyone. But now I'm the only one left alive, this, this can't just let me take the blame, this is too unfair, let me go, Hero, Big Brother, Yama King, you are high..."
Swish! A dim radiance flashed by, the dog-leg machete brought up a string of blood beads, the sharp blade cutting Skinny Monkey's neck, sealing his throat with one strike.
"Really can turn black into white, why couldn't it be you splashing dirty water on the dead, and still taking the blame for the dead..." Zhang Su shook his head after saying this. Through the information he heard and saw, he could conclude that this guy was talking nonsense.
"Gurgle... gurgle... woo..."
Skinny Monkey looked at the man who had calmly taken his life, his hands being pressed tightly, and in the end, he couldn't even cover his own spurting neck.
"Damn, after taking in so many survivors before, everyone was honest. I thought people's moral conscience was slowly improving. Damn... only after seeing these people did I realize it hasn't improved at all, and it's even more sinister!"
Zhao Dezhu saw Skinny Monkey was dead, let go of his hand, slapped him on the face, and after confirming he was dead, wiped the blood off his body, took out a steel bar, and pierced Skinny Monkey's head to prevent zombie transformation.
With the last enemy gasping his last, the Yama Legion members breathed a sigh of relief. During the battle, they were fearless because of the bulletproof vests, and their spirits were excited by hormones. Only after the battle ended did they realize their backs were already soaked.
As the smoke cleared and the enemies died, the hormone levels in everyone's bodies began to drop, and their moods gradually calmed down. Seeing those corpses again, they couldn't help but feel a burst of lingering fear, helplessness, and irritability.
Few people are born to like slaughter. Eliminating enemies is a last resort. The Yama Legion, which is decisive in killing in the eyes of outsiders, does not take pleasure in killing. If they could, they would prefer to meet survivors full of sincerity! Among the two temporary members, Ke Zhiyu was okay. He had been a member of the Little Eagle Society before, didn't fight much with people, but often faced zombies, so his psychological quality was okay. Zhou Haotian was different. After entering the Survivor Alliance's science department, he basically hadn't participated in any battles. Today, it was explosions and gunfights, and his lips were scared white.
"Several branches can willingly submit to us, the credit of their leaders is not small, and we have also promised many benefits. Do not persuade others to be kind if you have not experienced their suffering. If you have experienced their suffering, you may not be as kind as them!"
Zhang Su said heavily. He would not overestimate the brilliance of human nature, but would try to speculate on human hearts in the worst direction.
"These people escaped from the Longtou Camp, which shows that the leader of the Longtou Camp has different ideas from these guys!"
It was highly likely that the Longtou Camp was responsible for leading the hundred-thousand-strong zombie horde to Qincheng city, but now the people of the Longtou Camp resolutely chose to stay in the Shanhai District to fight the zombie horde pouring in from outside the pass, which was quite admirable!
"Still want to rob us, look at what good things you sent!"
Zhang Su bent down to search the corpses, Ke Zhiyu ran up and said: "Brother Su, let me do this job, I didn't help just now!"
"Yes, yes, let us do these small things, Brother Su, you were too heroic just now, rest quickly."
Zhou Haotian also nodded vigorously, striving to perform.
Newcomers wanted to train, Zhang Su naturally had no opinion, stood straight and looked at everyone: "Does anyone feel that I was too cruel to let you open fire just now?"
"I couldn't quite bring myself to do it, mainly because I didn't expect their own people to be so crazy to this extent, but I don't feel it was cruel."
"Not at all..."
"I really thought those people were hostages, thinking about saving them, didn't expect... really don't know people by their faces."
Yu Qing tucked her hair and smiled bitterly, pulling the corners of her mouth.
"Don't say it, this time I thought it was true too. Those people are too bad, even deceiving their own people, not human, really not human!" Zheng Xinyu clenched her fists. In the past, she would compare some behaviors with Zhang Su's black heart, but this time she didn't make a comparison, because harming one's own companions had already exceeded the bottom line! "Those kept in the dark are also pitiful people, let's go, eh?"
Zhang Su greeted everyone to go back to pack the Longtou deserters' luggage, turned his head and looked surprised: "That woman is not dead!"
Pan Guoliang's expression was exaggerated: "Quite tough, didn't get blown to death by such power? Explosion-proof expert!"
"Old Pan, I just realized, you are quite good at hell jokes."
Zhang Su was speechless and led everyone back.
Those who were shot to death were nothing special, but the corpses blown to pieces by the bomb were scattered on the railway tracks. Because of the gunfight and pursuit, he didn't pay attention before, but when he came back, he saw it clearly, which made people feel uncomfortable.
This kind of bloody scene was different from slashing zombies. The fresh and juicy body parts were presented in front of his eyes, changing color and freezing in the low-temperature environment, which could not help but touch human nerves.
Not only the female members, but even many men subconsciously shifted their attention, but one person walked toward the broken corpses very decisively.
Ju Wuying searched for the dagger she had shot as a flying knife from the corpses with some annoyance. It didn't take much effort to see it, but it was a pity that half of the wooden handle had been broken off.
Silently put it into her bag, and take it back to repair slowly.
"Can you still talk?"
Zhang Su came to the woman who was lingering on her last breath and asked.
"Gurgle, gurgle... I..."
The woman's back was a mess. As soon as she opened her mouth, blood surged from her throat. She tried hard to lift her eyelids to look at the person speaking in front of her, obviously wanting to say something, but it was hard to make a sound.
"Now you know you were used, do you regret it?"
Zhang Su looked at the woman and asked in a steady voice.
The woman couldn't speak, but her hearing was relatively intact. After hearing Zhang Su's words, she nodded in tears, tears mixed with blood flowing on her dirty cheeks, very miserable.
Snap.
Zhang Su snapped his fingers and hooked his finger at Zheng Xinyu. Soon, a thalamus the size of half a chestnut appeared in his hand. Then he pinched the woman's cheek and stuffed the thalamus directly into her mouth, saying: "Swallow it."
According to the convention, it was necessary to leave someone to inquire about news, but that Skinny Monkey was talking nonsense and definitely couldn't be left. Now seeing this woman could be saved, Zhang Su chose to believe this woman who only had one foot left outside the gates of hell.
The woman didn't understand at all what the man in front of her had fed her, but what was there to care about? Chewing was impossible, so she lifted her neck with difficulty and swallowed.
Gulp.
The zombie thalamus was swallowed into her belly.
Zhang Su nodded, got up, turned to everyone and said: "You all help to pack up those supplies and carry them to the train. I'll call someone to come and pick them up."
Everyone knew that since he had fed the woman the thalamus, he must intend to ask her for some information. This had basically become a convention, so they nodded and left.
Zhang Su looked down at the woman and saw that she hadn't changed yet, took out the walkie-talkie, adjusted a frequency, and said: "Liu Yao, Liu Yao!"
"Here, Brother Su, I'm here!"
Liu Yao knew that there would be a roll call in the afternoon and was sharpening his spear at the last minute.
"Call two brothers, drive a truck to the railway bridge south of Beidong Town, there are some gains."
"Alright, immediately!"
Ending the call, Zhang Su took off his hat, dusted off the human remains on it, tucked it into his belt, took out a cigarette and lit it, looking around, waiting quietly for the woman's recovery.
This wait lasted two minutes, but what he waited for was not recovery.
"Hoo... huh?"
Exhaling the last puff of smoke, just as he was about to step on the cigarette butt, Zhang Su's ears moved, the faint breathing sound beside him... was gone! Turning his head to look, the woman's neck was tilted, and she was already thoroughly dead. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 621 =====
