Jin Kaiyu Chapter 2
After I came back that day, school was on holiday. My brother originally wanted me to have more contact with my classmates and live a normal life.
But I don't want to.
In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, I stayed in my boss's underground casino to work as a handyman.
A month's vacation can't be said to be long, but in this short month, I finally knew what kind of life my brother lived and the pain he suffered.
And all this was not only because of the debt, but also because he wanted to support my education.
If it were not for my education, the time it would take to pay off the debt could be reduced a lot.
I hesitated. I knew that my brother wanted me to live a normal life, but how could I bear to let him be in such dire straits alone?
So I decided to stop studying and stay in the boss’s underground casino to pay off the debt with my brother.
I never went to school again, and I never saw Fang Xi again.
I thought he was just a passerby in my life, but I didn't expect to see him again at the most embarrassing moment.
The boss wanted to use me to feed his damn son, but my brother cut his neck.
There was no more food in the underground casino, so my brother took me and ran out. We were chased and intercepted by zombies all the way, and finally we were stopped in a small shop and could never escape.
Just when we were resigned to our fate, we met Fang Tong, who was leading people to find supplies.
In the last days, many people fell into the abyss, and at the same time, many people climbed to a high point that they would never have been able to climb in their lives.
Fang Tong became the leader of a survivor base with four to five hundred people. At the same time, the status of his younger brother Fang Xi also rose.
When I saw him, he was standing behind his brother. He was bright and bright, and he didn't look like the cripple he was before the end of the world who was beaten, scolded and bullied by others.
Compared with the two of them, my brother and I were like dogs in the water at this time, in a state of disarray, and we had no idea what we were doing.
Originally, there was a shortage of food in their base and they could no longer accept survivors.
As a result, Fang Tong stared at me from the moment he saw us. I half-hidden myself behind my brother, my heart in my throat.
After a long time, Fang Tong finally spoke:
"I know you. You helped my brother. Come with us."
I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but my heart was very complicated. I didn't know whether I should be happy or sad.
My brother used his ability to prove that Fang Tong made the right decision to take us in. Before the apocalypse, he lived a life of knife-edge licking blood, and it will be the same after the apocalypse.
It's just that the ones we have to face have changed from humans to zombies.
I know that my brother is actually very grateful to Fang Tong in his heart. Otherwise, given his temperament, he would not be willing to work under Fang Tong's hands and work for him.
But my brother's methods were too bloody. No one dared to speak out once or twice. When the times increased, there were different voices in the base.
It just so happened that at this time there were some clever people. They pushed a gap in the base wall and let the zombies in.
Fang Tong was caught off guard. By the time he reacted, the base was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
My brother protected Fang Xi and I and escaped, but Fang Tong didn’t show up at the agreed meeting point for some unknown reason.
To this day I still find it hard to believe that that was the choice my brother made.
He wanted to leave Fang Xi and me where we were, while he turned back to find Fang Tong!
I stopped him and refused to let him go. It was too dangerous. There were zombies everywhere, not to mention he was still alone!
But he insisted on going, and finally ignored my obstruction, opened the door and ran out.
Suddenly, Fang Xi and I were the only two people left in the room. We have never been alone together since we met again.
My appearance has changed a lot compared to before, and since I have been hanging out in casinos, my temperament has become less like a good person.
Fang Xi never dared to approach me.
The two of us squatted in opposite corners of the room, trying to get further away from each other.
Time passed by, my brother never came back, and I became more and more anxious.
Fang Xi didn't know when he started to slowly move towards me, and finally sat down next to me, and hesitantly spoke:
"I...have we met before...I think you look familiar..."
I was so irritated that I didn't speak. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Fang Xi's face, but he still didn't give up and continued to ask:
"By the way, your name is Jin Kaiyu, right? You two brothers look really alike..."
I got impatient, and just when I was about to yell at him and tell him to shut up, the door was kicked open!
We both turned around, and it was not my brother or Fang Tong who came in, but Fang Tong's other deputy, the culprit who caused the current situation.
He was obviously surprised that we were here, and then his eyes fell on Fang Xi and sneered:
"It's really hard to find anything after wearing iron shoes. It took no effort to get it. This bastard Fang Tong is like a loach, slippery and hard to catch. Now it's better. I found the net to catch the loach."
He strode over, grabbed Fang Xi and started to leave. Fang Xi screamed in fright, and I quickly stopped him and started wrestling with him.
What happened later was far beyond my control. I still don’t remember what happened. I only know that when I woke up, the man had already fallen into a pool of blood on the ground.
And there was a dagger stuck straight in his chest, and the dagger belonged to me.
Fang Xi covered his mouth and shivered in the corner. As soon as I got closer, he screamed.
My brows furrowed uncontrollably, and finally I sighed and threw the man's body away.
I don't know whether Fang Tong has a good life or my brother has a bad life.
He really rescued Fang Tong, but he was bitten on his arm.
After he was bitten, he immediately cut out the bitten flesh piece by piece with a knife. In the end, he had no time to bandage it, and he fainted as soon as he brought Fang Tong back.
Fang Tong was frightened out of his wits by how harshly my brother treated him. When he came back and looked at my brother, his eyes looked very strange. He was clearly evasive and uneasy.
I have seen this kind of look many times, and when I saw it on his face this time, I actually felt ridiculous, and at the same time, I felt sad for my brother.
The riot was finally suppressed, at the cost of losing most of the living area. The place where people used to live is now full of zombies.
My brother was locked in the room by Fang Tong and kept alive. He was afraid that my brother would turn into a zombie.
I made no comment and just sat next to my brother on his bed and watched him every day.
Although Fang Tong didn't say it, I knew that he didn't want my brother to live. But to disappoint him, there is nothing outstanding about us brothers. The only thing is that we are tough, just like bed bugs in the garbage dump. As long as we can't be killed, we can recover in the end.
My brother still woke up and didn't turn into a zombie.
Fang Tong told my brother how worried and sad he was with a big smile on his face, but I didn't miss the fear in his eyes.
After that, my brother was still driven by Fang Tong to do those dirty and shameful things on his behalf.
I thought that this would be it for the rest of my life, but it turned out that God didn't want us brothers to have an easy time, but wanted me to hear those words.
My brother was injured again and needed medicine, but Fang Tong hadn’t delivered the medicine for several days, so I had no choice but to go and get it in person.
When I arrived at Fang Tong's door, I heard Fang Xi's voice: "...it was Jin Kaiyu who killed him. He stabbed the man in the chest with a dagger."
I stopped and stood behind the wall, feeling cold all over. Fang Tong's words penetrated my ears:
"I thought it was just Jin Kaichang who was cold-blooded, but I didn't expect that his younger brother is just like him. They are indeed brothers. These two are really unstable. If they stay here any longer, there will probably be trouble..."
At this moment, I was squatting outside the wall, looking up at the sky, laughing uncontrollably.
It was so ridiculous to laugh at my brother and me.
I think that we brothers are not good people. We have done countless evil things and we will go to hell after death.
The only two times he was soft-hearted and gave all of Fafa's funny kindness to the two brothers, each time at the cost of almost losing his life.
I thought the rescued sheep were kind-hearted sheep, but in the end they were two wolves with dog lungs and rolling eyes!
How ridiculous!
I can no longer suppress the hatred in my heart. Fang Xi and Fang Tong are all beasts who repay kindness with hatred! Since they are unkind, why should I be righteous? !
The next day, Fang Xi came to me with a bag full of medicines. I looked at him coldly with concern on his face. He took out the medicines one by one and told me about their effects.
Pretending, still pretending, is nothing more than using that little bit of kindness to get my brother and I to relax our vigilance, and in the end he will bite me back! !
"Get out." I whispered.
Fang Xi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react, and looked at me blankly.
"Get out!!!" I yelled, knocked over the medicine he brought me, picked up his collar and threw it out of the room, along with his "pretend to be kind" medicine.
Fang Xi knocked hard on the door outside for a long time, but I didn't open it.
Later I made a move on Fang Tong.
There was nothing I could do. If I didn't take action, it would be our two brothers who would die. I don't think I did anything wrong.
Fang Xi lost his brother and turned back into the hunchback and cripple he was before, allowing others to exploit and bully him.
But this time, I will never feel sympathy for him again, never again! !
On the day Fang Tong died, my brother slapped me hard. This was the second time he slapped me. The last time he slapped me was because I didn't want to study.
He grabbed my shoulders and asked me over and over again why I did this!
I don't want to say anything, and I don't want to tell my reasons.
My brother has been kind for once in his life, and I don't want his kindness to become so ridiculous.
In the end, my brother sat at the door all night, smoking one cigarette after another, until he had chest tightness, tinnitus, chest pain, and unstoppable coughing.
At dawn, he threw away the cigarette, walked into the room again, held my shoulders, stared into my eyes, and said word by word:
"Remember, what happened yesterday was planned by me from beginning to end. I was the one who killed Fang Tong, it was me! Did you hear that?!"
His eyes were persistent and his tone left no room for argument.
I knew there was a sentence he had yet to say, and he even wanted me to say the same thing to the Lord of Hell when I got to the underworld.
He killed all the people, he did all the evil, and it had nothing to do with me.
But how is it possible? I have done more than just this.
He always thought that I was just doing odd jobs in the underground casino, but if I was really just doing odd jobs, how could our family's accounts be cleared so quickly.
What I did was much dirtier than he imagined, not much less than him.
I hope that my family's debts can be paid off soon, and that we, the two brothers, can walk out of this haze together and stand upright in the sunshine.
Unfortunately, the world did not give us that opportunity.
But it doesn't matter, I'd rather he didn't know those things.
So I nodded, I said yes.
From then on, my brother seemed to have broken through a certain line of defense in his heart. He became irrational, murderous, and bloodthirsty. He no longer cared about other people's lives.
I have also changed. I have forgotten all the things from the past, including school, casino, and base before the end of the world.
I became that bastard who relied on my brother to show off his power and do all kinds of evil. I was worthless, thoughtless, and a complete second-generation ancestor.
When my brother turned into a zombie and bit my neck hard, I struggled at first, but then I suddenly remembered the past and those things.
Why bother? If I were alive, without my brother, I would live in more pain than before.
I let go and closed my eyes.
The blood in the body was flowing out rapidly, and the sound of my brother's frantic swallowing could be heard in his ears.
…
"Brother, if there is a next life, can we still be brothers? It's okay not to have a rich life, and it doesn't matter if we don't have parents. As long as we brothers are still together, even if we are still born in this gutter, I am willing."
