Chapter 68 68. Fanatic Believer with Reason
"I came from the old residential area of the Third Ring Road, mainly to ask you if you know where there is a gathering place for survivors?" "It's
too dangerous in the city now. I think it's better for everyone to gather together."
Xu Zhi answered honestly, but the expressions of the others were still not relaxed at all, and even hurriedly replied: "We don't know where the gathering place is, you can go somewhere else Ask somewhere!"
"Don't you often lie or hide something important?" Xu Zhi couldn't stand it. She couldn't stand this poor cover-up and the nervousness that could be seen through at a glance. She couldn't continue to talk to this person. Keep performing.
As soon as she said these words that were tantamount to betraying her face, the attitude of the person opposite her changed visibly. Even the girl holding the gun aimed directly at Xu Zhi's head, as if she was going to hit her with a shot if the situation went wrong.
"Hey, don't be so nervous. I don't mean any harm." Xu Zhi didn't expect that she just asked casually, and the other party's reaction seemed to be stressful. Xu Zhi could only wave his hand lightly, but before the other party could Before he had time to react, Xiao Zhen swooped down from the sky and accurately grabbed the old-fashioned shotgun in the girl's hand.
The dog who had been staying in the car to avoid scaring people also jumped out from the back seat at this time, jumped to Xu Zhi's side, lowered his body and let out a low roar, and the grinning native dogs immediately backed away. After a few steps, he caught his tail.
Xu Zhi took the shotgun handed to her by Xiaozhen and was curious: "There are still such ancient objects in the Federation. Can this thing really still be used?"
As she said that, she aimed at the person opposite, wanting to try it. Whether this gun can still shoot bullets, at this moment, the expressions of the people on the opposite side were unconcealable horror, but Xu Zhi only maintained his aiming action for about two seconds, and then put down the gun: "I'm kidding." Although she
said He said so and put down his gun, but the expressions of the people opposite him did not change for the better. In their eyes, Xu Zhi seemed to be a slightly crazy villain.
"Answer my question, what are you so nervous about? What are you hiding?" Xu Zhi raised his hand and touched the head of the dog next to him, and the dog obediently stopped growling.
None of the middle-aged men and women who were still holding weapons spoke. Their faces were nervous and frightened, and even a little confused, until the short-haired girl standing at the front took the initiative to answer Xu Zhi's question: "We are afraid of you. Is it the kind of person who also kills the same kind of people? We have met him before and killed him. My elders felt that they had killed someone, so they were very nervous." It sounds like that, but... "I don't believe
it
. "
Although I am not the kind of person who kills people of the same kind at will, but if you don't tell the truth, I can be."
When Xu Zhi said this, his tone was quite relaxed, but it put huge pressure on people for no reason. It was precisely because she said It's so easy, so it makes people think that she can do this kind of thing easily.
The huge silver wolf next to them was still watching eagerly. The guns and hunting dogs that they originally relied on had now lost their combat capabilities. Soon, a middle-aged man couldn't bear the pressure and said tremblingly: "Don't, don't kill us. , we are just protecting our families."
As soon as he said these words, the girl's face changed obviously, while the others were a little angry, and some of their expressions became more relaxed, as if some kind of burden had been lifted.
"It's a good thing to protect your family, why are you so nervous?" Seeing that these people were frightened by her, Xu Zhi tried to ask in a softer tone. Who knew that as soon as she said this, the expressions on their faces became even worse.
It was as if she had told something unspeakable.
Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking this was a bit interesting, but the short-haired girl who seemed to be the backbone of these people gritted her teeth and said, "He killed someone, I didn't lie. We are really worried that outsiders will want to kill him."
Xu Zhi was not satisfied with the answer: "It's just killing people. Weren't you just thinking about whether to kill me? You didn't lie, but you were still hiding it." "
My patience is running out. Tell me the truth." With that said, Xu Zhi let go of his hand on Gouzi's head, and Gouzi revealed his fangs and rubbed his front paws on the ground, looking like he couldn't help but want to rush forward and tear the enemy to pieces. Seeing this, the girl pinched her wrist helplessly and said, "My cousin not only killed someone, he was also crazy."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhi immediately understood what the other party meant.
This "cousin" may have degenerated into a fanatic.
But according to what these people said before about protecting their families,
"Where is he now?"
"We tied him at home and he is much better now! Most of the time he is sane and only occasionally goes crazy. Please don't kill him. Him!" the girl begged.
How is it possible to be sane?
Xu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she ordered: "Take me to see him, don't worry, I won't kill him." The
short-haired girl knew that whether she believed Xu Zhi's words or not, she could only take Xu Zhi to see him. , there is no other choice.
She led people into this small foreign-style building. In a room with closed windows on the third floor, Xu Zhi met this crazy cousin.
A man in his twenties was tied to the bed with a dog chain, his hands and feet were tied, and a towel was stuffed in his mouth. The clothes on his body were relatively clean, but not very tidy, and there were signs of struggling.
The girl led Xu Zhi into this room that was not exposed to much light. As soon as the curtains were opened and the light that was not strong came in, the man lying on the bed shrank as if he was stimulated, and then slowly Opened his eyes.
The moment he saw his eyes clearly, Xu Zhi's face flashed with surprise.
As we all know, the eyes of fanatics are pure black, but this man's eyes are not pure black, but some black threads crawl around his eyeballs like spider webs, giving his eyes a strange sense of abnormality.
"Brother, are you okay now?" the girl asked cautiously.
The man on the bed nodded with difficulty, and then the girl stepped forward and pulled off the strip of cloth stuffed in her mouth.
After the cloth was removed, if it was an ordinary fanatic, he would have started to be incompetent and furious, but this man did not. He just gasped a little weakly, and then asked intermittently: "Yes, what happened? .Is it okay?"
It's really interesting.
This reminded her of the transformation process of the man who witnessed the ceremony into a fanatical believer in the cafeteria of the Affiliated Middle School. His eyes changed from white to black, and some black threads like thick fog crawled into his eyes. Although they occupied the entire eyeball, that The process was quite fast, and Xu Zhi had never seen any fanatic believer maintain such a transforming state before.
Xu Zhi looked at him and asked directly without caring about the mood of the two of them: "I want to know why you can stay sane?"
