What Lao Xu said made the young man speechless. At first, he was surprised as to why Lao Xu said this to him.
You must know that in the current confrontation between the enemy and ourselves, Lao Xu's almost preaching words are very strange in themselves.
Normally, Lao Xu should have criticized his recent shooting and stabbing and taken punitive measures against him.
At least if it were the bastards in the manor who were handling it, the young man knew that he would not be able to stand as well as he is now.
The bastard at the manor would definitely torture him and teach him a lesson.
This is the system of the estate. For disobedient "family members", the punishment waiting for them is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.
But the man in front of him didn't do this, which made the young man understandable.
In addition, Lao Xu's words also touched the young man, especially his last sentence. His skin and flesh were given to him by his mother. If she hears what he just said in heaven, will she be happy?
No, no mother would want to hear her son cry out for death. She would definitely be sad.
"Do you know that the nonsense you said is the most unfilial thing about you? Your mother was pregnant for ten months and went through all kinds of hardships to drag you down. I don't ask you to repay your kindness and support, but you despise your own life so easily. You are worthy of your mother. You dare to kill people, don’t you even have the courage to live? You can bear the humiliation and bear the burden in such a bad environment. Now the enemy has killed you, and you are screaming to die. Haha, I wonder if you, a young man, have any brains? What's wrong?"
Well, a few minutes ago, the young man was still questioning Lao Xu's head.
Nowadays, the plot has changed, and Lao Xu started to mock the young people's IQ.
Hu Xiaodong had roughly understood Lao Xu's original intention through several words of Lao Xu.
It was precisely because of this understanding that he could finally loosen the grip of the pistol that he had kept tightly in his trouser pocket.
Judging from the atmosphere on the field and the youthful energy, Hu Xiaodong knew that trouble was unlikely to arise between the two parties.
"Whether I die or not is not something I can decide, I just"
"We just decided that we won't let you go, right?" Lao Xu interrupted the young man's words and asked again.
The young man glanced at Lao Xu, and then nodded without hesitation.
This is an obvious thing. Any fool knows that the team has bad intentions.
Otherwise, if they knew Hu Xiaodong, Xu Renjie and others, why would they pretend to be bad guys and come to their camp to beg for personnel?
If you say that there is no situation in this, then you are really seeing a ghost.
If you say that the team did not have any intention of manoring at the beginning, but simply wanted to help them, then it is true that the sun comes out in the west.
Let alone the end of the world, even in the civilized time before the end of the world, not just anyone would do such a thankless thing.
What's more, in today's world, young people don't believe that the team will be so open-minded and not be tempted by the materials in the manor.
But in fact, the young man really thought wrong. The team really didn't think about occupying the manor to get supplies and equipment from the beginning.
But now, their own actions have changed the situation.
So no matter what the team does next, the fault should be placed on the manor itself.
If they hadn't been unfavorable to Lao Xu and Hu Xiaodong earlier, the team would not have brought the team in.
Of course, young people don't care about these.
The existence of this manor will be meaningless after the enemy is killed.
"Kill you!? Do you think we are as vicious as the village owner? Why should we kill you?"
"Have you forgotten what we did to you before?" the young man asked in confusion.
Lao Xu shrugged: "You are talking about the election, of course I remember it. How could I forget it?"
"Isn't this the end? Just based on this, your reasons for killing all of us have been repeated enough."
"Oh, is this your personal opinion or do we think so collectively?" Lao Xu asked with a chuckle.
The young man replied seriously: "Of course it's my own idea, but it's also true. I never think the things done here are correct. But I still participated. This is an irrefutable fact, so I am guilty."
"Humph, you're really good." Taking a deep breath, Lao Xu was also amused by the young man's "frankness".
It is estimated that it is difficult to find such self-analysis in the whole world.
Let alone others say what happened to him, he just put a lot of weight on himself.
"If I could give you a chance to live, would you accept it?"
This question was so "sharp" that the young man didn't think about it for a while.
"You, what did you say? You, you want to give us a way to survive? You, you won't kill us?"
Glancing at Hu Xiaodong who stood silently behind him, Lao Xu smiled and replied: "Why should I kill you?"
"because of U.S"
"Because of the dirty things you did? That's right. The things you did were indeed quite shameful. If it were in the past, you would have gone to court and waited for the verdict. But you are lucky that this is the end of the world, and there are no such things. There are strict rules and regulations to restrict these. Besides, you also said that you were forced to do those things. Those who were killed, even if you fight, it is impossible to change their fate. Besides, I will kill you based on these, Isn’t that just increasing our sins? You yourself have experienced all this, and you should know very well that living with a sense of guilt is actually a punishment in itself. Am I right?”
The young man was once again stunned by what Lao Xu said.
yes! If you think about it carefully, Lao Xu's "exculpation" seems to be what it is.
Those who were mutilated, including her mother, would not survive because of their own struggles.
The young man had fought when his mother was chosen as a "sacrifice", but in exchange for a brutal beating, he still could not save his mother.
So in a sense, the nature of your obedience or disobedience has not actually changed.
The chosen ones will always be killed and will always be the food on the table of the women who are in charge of the manor.
In addition, Lao Xu's remarks about guilt made young people feel the same.
In order to avenge his mother, the young man's life in the past few months can definitely be described as "unfortunate".
He is alive every day, but his spirit is tortured.
Especially every time he is summoned by the manor for an "election", that deep guilt always accompanies the young man.
In the past few months, the young man has been awakened almost every night by the faces of those tragic dead souls.
So objectively speaking, his honest request to die is not actually a fear of living and a desire to be freed.
