"When?" Lin Feng asked.
"Just when the maze closes, we want to make sure he doesn't come back again, so we will send him in before the maze closes," Elby said.
Time passed by minute by second. Lin Feng didn't know if this period of time was considered long. For those of them waiting, it might be difficult, but for Ben, this period of time was the last moment in his life. Two hours, he suddenly felt that the longer the better, an hour was too short to review his life.
Finally, the time was almost up. Gary and another tall man went to bring Ben over. The others went to the place where they stored their things and fetched poles more than three meters long. There was a horizontal pole tied to the top of the pole. The wooden stick was about forty to fifty centimeters long. In Lin Feng's opinion, it was an extended version of a riot pole, used to deal with more dangerous people.
Everyone held a long pole and gathered around the entrance of the maze, waiting for Ben's arrival.
"Please, help me, please..." Ben started to lose his mind again at this time, and began to beg everyone not to send him into the maze. Even if he was not conscious, , still knew that going to the maze would lead to death or no life.
Lin Feng looked at Ben begging everyone, his eyes full of confusion and fear, which made him feel unbearable for a moment. He thought about whether he should save him temporarily and then wait for a few days for his colleague Terry After Sa comes, find the antidote from her body and save this guy.
But then I thought again, there are only two antidotes. If Ben uses them, what will happen if his friends are infected in the future? Newt or Chuck is infected, or those people on the task list. If he has no way to save people after being infected, then he will fall into passivity.
Seeing Ben being driven into the maze step by step with long poles, Lin Feng did nothing in the end. It was obviously easier to do nothing than to do something. He chose this mainly because Because of the mission list, secondly, he and Ben are strangers to each other, and they have only known each other for a day. So many people die every day in this world, and it is impossible for him to save them all by himself. Even if he saves Ben now, , then you will encounter thousands of people on the way to escape. What should you do at that time? Give up.
So after some ideological struggle in his mind, Lin Feng finally made what he thought was the right choice and gave up on Ben completely like everyone else.
"Crack!"
The high walls on both sides of the entrance gradually closed together with a clicking sound. The last thing Lin Feng saw was Ben's despairing eyes with a hint of hatred. He might remember those eyes for the rest of his life, but this is life. Life is full of helpless choices.
As the person who made this decision, Elby felt more uncomfortable than others. Perhaps the object of Ben's final hatred was towards Elby. Lin Feng patted Elby gently when he passed by him. Pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Everyone looked at each other in silence, and walked towards their hammocks one by one. The atmosphere became extremely dull for a while. Lin Feng also knew that this was not the time to liven up the atmosphere, but seeing this scene, he didn't want to go back, so he was alone He quietly left the team and walked towards the sentry tower. He wanted to lie there alone and watch the sky for a while.
Newt, who was always paying attention to Lin Feng, saw Lin Feng walking towards the sentry tower and followed him.
"Everyone who sees this scene for the first time is the same. They feel cruel but helpless."
"Yes, there is nothing I can do. I think I will never forget Ben's last look in my life. It seemed to be an accusation and a desire for life." Lin Feng said quietly.
...
The next day was another new day. The shadow of Ben's death seemed to fade a little, and everyone started talking and laughing again. Although the sound was not very loud, there was no such depressing feeling as yesterday. Maybe in a few days, everyone would Ben will be forgotten, and all traces of his existence in this world will be completely erased.
"Did Elby go into the maze?" Lin Feng asked Newt next to him while working.
"Well, he went to look for Ben. He wanted to bring Ben back. Everyone here is like his child. He was the first one to come here, so he got along with everyone for a long time. His time and deep feelings are something none of us can compare to." Newt said.
"How about I go in and have a look too?" Lin Feng asked tentatively.
"But you are not familiar with the roads inside. It is easy to get lost inside. If you get lost inside, the consequences will be disastrous. I advise you not to have this idea. Although you are very powerful, there are still some things we cannot The ability to understand, but I think it would be better to have someone who is familiar with the path inside to lead you in." Newt advised.
"But I have a hunch that if I don't go in, Elby and the others are likely to be injured." Lin Feng's words are not without purpose, because in the original play, Elby was bitten by the monster today, and he didn't want to He had sent his companions to death for two days in a row. Of course, he didn't want to waste another antidote. It was better to save on the antidote.
"Probably not. The reason why Night Furies are called Night Furies is because they are active at night and are relatively safe during the day." Newt said.
"But he was bitten at noon. I think since yesterday, they have released the Night Fury during the day. Maybe we should give him another name. The Night Fury is already somewhat unworthy of its name. Yes." Lin Feng said.
"There's no rush to change your name. Are you sure you have to go in today? Then why don't you go with Elby and the others instead of going in alone now?" Newt asked.
"Because they had already left when I got up. How could I go with them?" Lin Feng said matter-of-factly.
"I..." Newt never expected this to be the reason.
"Okay, you don't have to persuade me anymore. It's fine if that night spirit doesn't come out. If you meet me, I will definitely cut it into pieces and bring it back to make you an authentic Chinese skewer. It will definitely make you greedy. My mouth is watering." No matter where Lin Feng goes, no matter what animal he encounters, the first thing he thinks of is eating its meat.
"Ahem, that's not necessary. Have you forgotten that the Night Fury is poisonous? I don't dare to eat its flesh, I can't bear it." Newt said with a look of disgust.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. Then I'll bring back its head, claws, tail or something like that as a souvenir for you." Lin Feng apologized.
