Chapter 1208



1208 Choice (1)

“Morris, what’s going on?”

Tang Zhen looked at the similarly nervous Morris and asked with a slightly serious tone.

Hearing this, Morris hurriedly explained.

Sir, our neighbor has been attacked by mutated monsters. She might be in a very dangerous situation!

When he said this, Morris ‘tone clearly had a hint of worry.

When the day of extreme darkness arrived, the world was pitch black, and it was impossible to see anything with the naked eye.

However, in such a special environment, the mutated monsters seemed to be unaffected. They moved around in the dark like the wind, trying to destroy all normal living creatures, and the abandoned people were the first to bear the brunt.

In order to prevent being targeted by the monsters during the day of extreme darkness, the abandoned people would carefully hide their caves and do their best to get rid of any traces left behind by their daily activities. It was never too much to be careful.

The group of abandoned people opposite them must have done the same, but something went wrong and they were targeted by the mutated monsters. Their lives were in danger!

The seemingly solid stone wall would not be able to hold on for long against the radiation monsters in their berserk state. Once they were forced into the cave, the final outcome would definitely be very tragic!

“What should we do? should we help them?”

An abandoned person asked, but he was immediately met with strong opposition from his companions.

“How can we help? Once we go out, it’s very likely that we’ll attract the radiation monsters. At that time, not only will they not survive, but we won’t be able to escape either!”

then what should we do? are we just going to watch them die? ”

“What else can we do? don’t tell me that we have to sacrifice our lives to save someone who’s going to die?”

“But, aiyaya!”

The dispute came to an end in a very short time. Although they couldn’t bear it, no one could save an outsider they were not very close to when they were risking their own and their companions ‘lives.

If he really made such a choice, it was definitely not heroic, but selfish and irresponsible!

Therefore, despite the screams and cries for help outside, mixed with the roars of the radioactive monsters, Uncle Jim and the others in the cave could only sigh and could not provide any help.

Tang Zhen turned his head and looked in the direction of the cave entrance. His calm eyes contained a trace of coldness. This was because the life and death of the group of abandoned people outside had nothing to do with him.

However, no one had expected that Tang Zhen would stand out in this kind of situation where it had nothing to do with him.

Morris, do you have the heart to see your neighbors die? ”

Tang Zhen suddenly turned his head to look at Morris, who was holding his battle blade and trembling slightly, and asked in a faint tone.

Sir, I actually really want to help them, but that might cause Uncle Jim and the others to lose their lives. So, I know what I should do.

Morris hesitated for a moment and whispered to Tang Zhen.

you know what to do? do you think that standing by is the right choice? ”

then can you guarantee that these monsters won’t turn around to deal with you after killing your neighbors? ”

Hearing this, Morris was stunned. He frowned and said in an uncertain tone, ” I don’t think so. We’ve cleaned up the traces very well. The radioactive monsters shouldn’t be able to find Yingluo.

“Didn’t your neighbors do this? and according to my observation, they were even more careful than you in this aspect. But what was the result?

That’s why you’re all just hoping that the radioactive monsters won’t discover you. This is equivalent to gambling with your lives!”

Tang Zhen’s tone was very calm. It even carried a trace of coldness and ruthlessness, causing the expressions of Uncle Jim and the others to change slightly.

“Teacher, what are you trying to say?”

As the leader of this group of abandoned people, Uncle Jim was undoubtedly the most nervous person present. After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, he finally could not help but open his mouth and ask.

“What I mean is, instead of waiting for death, it’s better to rush out and kill the monster!

Not only would you be helping others, but you would also be helping yourself. Why not?”

of course, this has nothing to do with kindness. It’s just a more effective way of self-protection in special circumstances. Sometimes, it’s better to take the initiative to attack than to wait for fate’s judgment!

Uncle Jim could not help but smile bitterly when he heard that. “Sir, what you said is not unreasonable, but the problem is that we don’t have the strength to do so. If we go out rashly, we’ll be courting death!

“We chose to watch from the side because we had no choice. Otherwise, who would let the radioactive monsters wreak havoc?”

When the other abandoned people heard this, they also sighed in unison.

Tang Zhen slightly nodded. He looked at Uncle Jim and said,”I understand how you feel, so you need to make a choice next. Either I take you to save the neighbors and kill the radiation monsters, or we sit here and bet that the radiation monsters will let you go.

However, if that happens, it is very likely that I will not help, because the only person I can help is Morris. As for you people, in my opinion, you are no different from the neighbors!”

Uncle Jim’s heart could not help but skip a beat when he heard this sentence. He did not have the courage to question Tang Zhen why he was forcing them to make a choice. Under normal circumstances, this was no different from courting death!

Tang Zhen was right. The possibility of them being attacked by the monster was indeed only 50%. If the monster did not target them, everything would be fine. At most, they would have lost a group of neighbors.

However, if the monster turned around to attack them, the only result would be death!

However, due to Tang Zhen’s existence, the abandoned people now had an additional choice. That was to follow him to rescue their neighbors. At the same time, they had to kill all the radiation monsters that they were afraid of!

Although they didn’t know why Tang Zhen forced them to make such a difficult choice, the thought of killing the radiation monsters after throwing away the concerns in their hearts caused their blood to boil!

Uncle Jim naturally did not doubt Tang Zhen’s strength. Since he dared to say such words, it also meant that he had the confidence to retreat in one piece.

“Uncle Jim, I think we should give it a try since we have Sir’s help!”

Morris waved the Battle Sword in his hand and said to Uncle Jim. There was still a trace of anticipation and fighting spirit in his eyes.

“So, what’s your decision?”

Tang Zhen looked at Uncle Jim with a smile that was not a smile as he asked in a calm voice.

Sir, why are you doing this? this is really making things difficult for me!

Uncle Jim shook his head slightly. After standing up from the ground, he slowly pulled out his blade that was polished with iron sheets.

After scanning his surroundings, Uncle Jim finally looked at Tang Zhen. He clenched his teeth and said, Morris and I have weapons in our hands, we can go out with you. As for the stone weapons in the hands of the others, they can’t penetrate the tough skin of the radioactive monsters, so it’s best to stay in the cave!

Hearing this, Morris stood up from the ground with excitement. He turned around and ran towards the entrance of the cave, trying to move the rocks blocking the door.

When the other abandoned people saw this, they also expressed that they wanted to go out and help deal with the radioactive monsters. However, they were sternly rejected by Uncle Jim.

If he and Morris went out, even if they could not kill the radioactive monsters, they would be able to retreat safely under Tang Zhen’s protection. However, if everyone went out and a dangerous situation occurred, he would not be able to come to the rescue at all.

“Since we’ve already made up our minds, let’s go out now. I hope we still have time!”

Tang Zhen slowly stood up and walked to the front of the cave. With a wave of his hand, he moved the rocks at the entrance of the cave.

A world as dark as ink appeared in front of everyone. It was like a bottomless abyss that could swallow people at any time.

Looking at the pitch-black darkness outside the cave, the abandoned people subconsciously took two steps back with nervous expressions.

The fear of the day of extreme darkness had been deeply rooted in their hearts since they were young. All kinds of terrifying legends related to darkness had also made them never have the courage to step out of their hiding place during the day of extreme darkness.
