"Do you want to be chopped into pieces by me!"
Wendy shouted uncontrollably.
But after interlocking their fingers, her other hand holding the chainsaw also let go of the chainsaw, and Kyle saw this and grabbed it. He finally began to truly control the shackles after using them on the two imprisoned people. Now the shackles will no longer come out on their own, and will no longer be like the first time he met Macchiato.
Although it is said to control the shackles, there are still many abilities to control the shackles that have not yet been developed at this stage. Kyle is like a groom holding the reins desperately, and there is still a long way to go before he can control the shackles like arms at will.
"You're not going to cut me into pieces."
"What do you know! Let me go!"
"Don't let go."
"Let go!"
"I will only let you go when you stop calling yourself a monster."
Wendy felt that she could break free if she tried harder, but for some reason, when she was about to break free, the strength in her hands gave out on her own. As for the two children on the side, after they finished eating the lollipops, they raised their shovels and quickly dug out several holes. After that, they watched Wendy and Kyle pulling each other, wondering what the two of them were doing. The little guys just suddenly felt a little bored. This was still a new experience for them.
"When I went to the city to buy food, I heard people on the street saying that the incarcerated were monsters."
"You are not afraid of the corpses of evil spirits, so why do you listen to passers-by? Without your disaster clean-up team that has been dealing with the corpses of evil spirits and dead soldiers, those people would have been infected with mad evil a long time ago."
"Then if I leave here, I wonder if those people will--"
Kyle's eyes lit up. After coming to see them for so many days, this was the first time Wendy mentioned the topic of 'leaving Rusty River'.
"Yes or no, does it matter? Aren't they two the most important?"
Originally, Wendy wanted Kyle to let go of his hand, and then she also thought that she was a monster who had started to go crazy and heard strange noises in her head, but in the end, Kyle asked her to turn her head and look at the two children. A family member who would call her sister.
"Wendy, if you continue like this, you will lose them. Aren't they the only family you have left?"
"No! They're not going anywhere! There are others, they're just too tired and just need a nap."
Kyle frowned under the gas mask. A few days ago, Lily and Fino took him to their mourner's home. Although it was a home, it was actually just a natural cave. The items piled inside were larger than those under the overpass. The tramp with a small quilt is even more crude. But the most eye-catching thing is not the cave they live in, but the filled holes next to the cave--Wendy's family members are buried inside.
But for Wendy, it was emotionally difficult to accept that only Lily and Fino were left in her family, so even if she buried her family members who died due to high-level infection, she still chose not to face the truth.
"Since you can rely on that tunnel to get to the new city, why not take them away from the Rusty River and away from the madness? And only after you have truly healed your bodies, can you better complete the mission of the Undertaker , isn’t it?”
Wendy was silent for a long time. In her waking moments these past few days, she had been thinking about whether she could let Kyle take Lily and Fino away. For her, as long as her family was safe, she could be buried alone. . But when she thought that she might never see Lily and Fino again, her heart felt as if it had been torn apart by her own chainsaw, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't breathe at all.
"I-can I also go to therapy? Can I put aside my mission temporarily?"
"Of course! Of course you can go and rest. You have obviously been working for so long. The meaning of life does not necessarily depend on funerals and death, but also on taking care of your family. Let's go, Wendy, let's go now and pick you up. Other family members, let’s leave now!”
Kyle took the initiative to loosen his interlocking fingers, picked up her chainsaw from the ground, put the murderous weapon in Wendy's hand, and then put the sharp teeth on the edge to his neck.
"If you want to believe me, just follow me. If you think I lied to you, just turn on the chainsaw."
After hearing what Kyle said, Wendy no longer hesitated and took Kyle back to their 'home' in Rusty River.
"Lily, Fino, pack your things, let's leave here with Kyle."
Wendy stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the busy Lily and Fino. Although they had many new toys recently, even Wendy couldn't remember the last time they took a bath comfortably or slept peacefully. It's time.
I think this sister is really a failure.
"Wendy, are you okay?"
"Kyle - could it be because of my persistence that their madness has reached this level?"
"If hating yourself can make them happy, I believe you will hate yourself for the rest of your life without hesitation. But they have been inseparable from you for a long time. If you hate yourself, you are also hating them."
"is that so?"
"That's it."
In fact, there weren't many things that could be carried inside the cave. The most important thing for the two little ones was the shovel used to bury the corpses of the dead soldiers. The other things couldn't even fit into a backpack.
"Let's go."
This time it was Kyle's turn to be surprised. He knew that Wendy's other deceased family members were buried here. There were several buried pits near the cave, and her family members were buried in them.
"The rest of your family—"
"Let them sleep here, I will come back here one day."
Kyle also understood that it was too cruel for her to accept the fact that her family members had passed away for a short period of time, and did not say anything more. Maybe somewhere deep in Wendy's heart she understood that her family, who were deeply infected by the madness, had indeed left her, but now she was unwilling to recognize the fact, for fear that her family would really leave like this.
Lily and Fino carried their small bags, walked through the secret passage with Kyle and Wendy, and entered the streets of the new city for the first time. But it was already late at night, so there were basically no people on the street.
"Well, I thought the streets in the new city would be different."
The two little ones looked disappointed. They thought that the new city could be different from the Rusty River. In their imagination, the new city should be more 'prosperous'. Although they did not have a systematic understanding of prosperity, they would also sleep at night. I had imagined a scene of singing and dancing.
However, the quiet streets now are very different from their imagination, not to mention that this remote community has a run-down atmosphere.
"This is the case in the new city, but at least you will be much safer here than in Rusty River, and you will be able to walk on solid ground."
"Yeah! No more mud on the roads here. So Kyle—where will we sleep tonight?"
Kyle took off his gas mask and pointed to a building in the distance.
"Stay at my house."
