Lin Mo's face was a little gloomy, and he looked down at the electronic watch on his wrist.
3:25 am.
Normally, this is the time when people sleep the deepest. The fat man sneaking upstairs at this time obviously had bad intentions.
He turned off the infrared alarm device, put away the mousetraps scattered on the ground, and slowly walked to the fat man: "I think I warned you not to go upstairs!"
"I, I..." The fat man looked at the bloody mace in Lin Mo's hand, his round face full of fear: "I'm just too hungry, I want to ask you for something to eat."
"Want it?" A sneer appeared on Lin Mo's lips: "How much do you plan to ask for?"
The fat man raised a finger: "I, I just want to get a piece of bread, really, just a piece of bread."
"Do you believe this?" Lin Mo looked at him coldly, holding the mace in his hand and repeatedly loosening and tightening it.
If he hadn't discovered it, the fat man might have taken away his entire backpack. If he was more vicious, he might even kill him.
Such a person will definitely deserve to die!
However, looking at the fat man's face full of fear, he couldn't do it for a while.
He can kill zombies without any burden, because zombies no longer belong to the category of humans.
But the fat man in front of him is a living person.
"I really just wanted to get a piece of bread. I was really hungry, so I was confused for a moment. Brother, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
As if sensing Lin Mo's murderous intent, the fat man suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy in tears: "Brother, please, please spare me this time. I promise never to do it again..."
"boom!"
A muffled sound interrupted the fat man's words.
The mace fell quickly and hit the fat man hard on the back of the head.
The fat man's body shook and he fell straight to the ground, completely lifeless.
Lin Mo subconsciously looked away, but the next second, he quickly moved back and looked directly at the fat man's body.
His stomach began to churn again.
This was the first person he killed.
It's a completely different feeling than killing zombies.
Killing zombies is more about physical discomfort, but killing people is more about psychological discomfort.
Whether before or after time travel, the education he received told him that killing was illegal.
But his behavior just now directly broke his worldview for the past two lifetimes.
This kind of strong psychological impact was really difficult for him to accept for a while.
"Lin Mo, it's the end!"
"The end times have their own rules, and you have to accept them and adapt."
Lin Mo muttered to himself, took a deep breath, and the discomfort in his heart gradually dissipated.
Then he stepped forward and opened the fat man's palm.
In its palm is a paper knife commonly used in offices.
Just now, it was precisely because he saw the fat man putting his hands into his clothes that he suddenly acted cruelly.
And the facts also proved that his decision was not wrong, otherwise what would have been waiting for him would have been Fatty's attack.
"clatter!"
"clatter!"
The sound of gentle footsteps sounded.
Tang Ya's figure slowly appeared at the top of the stairs.
Seeing the fat man's body, she didn't seem surprised at all. She looked at Lin Mo with a faint look: "When you gave him bread and water, did you deliberately open the backpack in front of him?"
Lin Mo looked at her and said nothing.
Tang Ya continued: "There is also the self-heating rice at night. You deliberately ate it upstairs to let the taste spread, and your series of actions were just to test the fat man. Or to be precise, you were testing the fat man. With me, right?”
Lin Mo said calmly: "It seems that my temptation is of no use to you."
The fact is exactly what Tang Ya said, his actions were just for testing.
Otherwise, how could he be so stupid as to open his backpack in front of the two of them and eat self-heating rice in a ostentatious manner? He still understands the principle of not exposing wealth.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ya saw through everything.
"What about the steak at noon? It's also a test?" Tang Ya asked.
Lin Mo shook his head: "Maybe you don't believe it, but it's really out of gratitude."
A smile appeared on Tang Ya's lips: "Let's form a team! You are very smart and you should understand that in this situation, going it alone is not a long-term solution."
"Okay." Lin Mo thought for a while and agreed.
In fact, even if Tang Ya didn't say anything, he still planned to invite Tang Ya to form a team.
The plan to go to the third detachment to get a gun would have a much higher success rate if Tang Ya was there.
"Since you agree, then I'll say the ugly things first."
Tang Ya looked at Lin Mo: "Although we are a team, I will not share supplies with you until I can completely trust you."
"Understood." Lin Mo thought of Tang Ya's professional hiking bag.
If they were all daily necessities and Tang Ya saved a little more, there should be no problem if she persisted for two months.
In comparison, his backpack looked a little pitiful.
"Also, if I encounter danger, I will do my best to protect you while ensuring my own safety. But if it endangers myself, I will give up on you decisively."
Tang Ya said calmly: "Of course, this is before I can fully trust you. If you can fully trust me, then I will give priority to ensuring your safety even if I risk my own life."
"Agreed." Lin Mo admired Tang Ya's style of saying things first.
"That's it for now. If I think of anything else, I'll add it at any time."
Tang Ya turned around and walked towards the place where he slept: "For the sake of my teammates, I would like to remind you that the monsters outside seem to be very sensitive to the smell of blood. You'd better deal with the fat man."
Lin Mo smiled.
Even if Tang Ya didn't tell him, he would handle it.
But having such a teammate seems to be a good feeling.
