Volume 1: The Beginning Chapter 15. Contradictions and Disputes
"So in your eyes, I am a good person full of righteousness?"
Tang Ling slowly approached Wang Chao as she spoke, "You said you asked me to wake you up so that you could save people, right? Why should I do this? What obligation do I have to wake you up?"
"you!"
"Wang Chao, you are also someone who has been in contact with monsters. Is it possible that you just escaped a few disasters by chance and you think you are invincible? I know that a good friend was killed and you are sad and angry, but so what?
?Do you understand what powerlessness means? Do you know what happened last night? You don’t know. Because you slept soundly. You asked me to wake you up and ask you to save people, how to save them? Hold two kitchen knives in front of the monster
Doing acrobatics? Do you think I didn't give Li Xiang a chance to escape? When do you think a person will be dragged away by a monster on the ground without any worries? I tell you, when he is dead."
In the crowded warehouse, everyone was silent except for Tang Ling's voice.
"Do you know how close the monsters were to us last night? If they launched a sneak attack, we wouldn't be able to get up and close the door to defend ourselves in our sleep. Although I don't know why Li Xiang went out, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to stray too far from the warehouse.
, were killed at such a close distance, what about the rest of us? If I hadn’t woken up in the middle of the night to lock the door, what do you think that warehouse full of humans would have meant to the monsters? If that were the case, would you still have
Do you have time to confront me here?"
Tang Ling is also a human being. She can also get tired, have tempers, and vent her emotions. She understands that Wang Chao is temporarily angry and has lost his mind. She understands that he blames him, but why can't he think from her perspective?
She is just an ordinary person. What do they think of her image in the apocalypse? Brave? Fearless? No, that's just her pretending to be strong. Who can maintain sanity in the sudden chaos of the world? She just doesn't.
People can be relied on, so they are forced to hide their fears.
"You think that every time I save you and help you righteously, it is just because I want to live, and it happens that you are with me. I am not a saint. I am very grateful to you for helping me before, but it is not
It means that I am willing to take risks for strangers unconditionally, and I am still a stranger who does not know life or death. Do you think I am selfish? But this is me. Don’t use those moral standards you think of on me. I’m sorry, I don’t need it.
.”
Tang Ling suddenly felt that by acting so aggressively now, she was venting her dissatisfaction towards Wang Chao.
Wrongful, she felt so wronged.
Language is really a strange thing. It obviously has no real lethality, but it can affect people's emotions invisibly.
Seeing Wang Chao's lost and miserable look, Tang Ling knew that there was no point in talking anymore, and her words were more or less blaming him. She was no different from Wang Chao now.
As for whether Wang Chao would forgive or blame her, that had nothing to do with her. She was about to turn around and go back to get her backpack on the ground.
"But... Li Xiang is dead. He was still telling me last night that he wanted to go home and eat wontons made by his mother, and wanted to carve out his own world in this apocalyptic world. But now he is dead..."
Wang Chao's tears flowed out, and the tall man who was about 1.8 meters started crying like a child. He still remembered how happy Li Xiang was when he told him yesterday that his parents were still alive, but now, even
It is not known where he died.
"In these last days, are there not many people dying?"
After spending a long time explaining, Tang Ling felt tired for no reason, tired in every sense of the word. She hid the emotion in her eyes, returned to her usual self, picked up her bag and left.
With the situation like this now, the surroundings were so quiet that the only thing that could be heard was Wang Chao's idiot sniffing furiously. Gu Zhou pressed his eyebrows irritably, wishing he could push Wang Chao to the ground and give him a good beating.
Ever since he first met Wang Chao in the apocalypse, he knew that Wang Chao was a single-minded creature and his brain was just a decoration. Many times he was too naive and could even be described as stupid. But he didn't expect that the apocalypse had been so long ago.
, he is still being stupid.
I really want to beat him up!
As a result, before he could put his idea into action, Li Jia walked up to Wang Chao before him. She looked at Wang Chao indifferently and burst into tears, and slowly said: "Everyone is the same, losing an important friend will make you sad."
It's sad, but don't grow a head just to have facial features, and forget about the rest. Do you think Tang Ling wasn't sad when she killed her best friend with her own hands?"
Having said this, Li Jia no longer wanted to talk to this guy, so she turned around and took Luo Rui to help Tang Ling load supplies.
Wang Chao, who was finally awakened by Li Jia's words, was stunned, and then cried even more sadly. He looked at Gu Zhou who was still beside him with tears in his eyes, and asked miserably: "Gu Zhou, Tang
Is Ling angry with me?"
"Do you think you will be angry if I suddenly rush in front of you, scold you, and then kidnap you morally?" Gu Zhou looked at Wang Chao with a speechless expression, his eyes twitching. He really couldn't understand why this guy could
Crying for so long?
"I was wrong." Wang Chao sniffed and finally realized that he had done something stupid just now. He regretted what he said.
"Don't say it in front of me. It's not me you're scolding." Gu Zhou slapped Wang Chao on the head and finally felt relieved.
Wang Chao is just too simple-minded, but he is not a bad person, and he knows that he can correct his mistakes if he knows it, otherwise Tang Ling would not have said so much to him, and Li Jia and Gu Zhou would not be willing to give him any further advice.
"I, I'm going to apologize."
Wang Chao finally reacted, thanked Gu Zhou and quickly went to find Tang Ling.
"Lingling, are you okay?"
Luo Rui stood aside and watched Tang Ling remain silent, just stuffing the food into her bag.
"Well, I'm not angry, you don't have to worry."
Tang Ling looked at Luo Rui and Li Jia's worried expressions, and her face softened a little.
"Lingling, actually you don't have to support yourself alone."
Li Jia looked at the calm and strong Tang Ling in front of her, feeling very sad and regretful.
Ever since we were roommates with Tang Ling for three years, she has always been like this, never venting, never complaining, and never showing her ugly side to them, even if they are her closest friends.
It was also because Wang Chao was making such a fuss this time that Li Jia noticed that Tang Ling had an overwhelming sense of tiredness. She had not had a good rest since the end of the world. After struggling for so long, her partners still blamed her in the end.
As her friend, Li Jia was really heartbroken to see her.
"Don't worry, I'm really fine."
In fact, Tang Ling is really not angry with Wang Chao. She has been in contact with him for so long and knows that Wang Chao is too stupid, but he is a very good partner, not to mention that she and Wang Chao just now are not much different. She is just a little distracted now.
Ning, I always feel like something is wrong.
Li Xiang's death made her feel uneasy. This warehouse occupies a small area and is hidden deep in the woods. Logically speaking, even if Li Xiang really goes out, he will not be able to fight back, and even let all of us
Not a single sound was heard.
Something is wrong, so wrong.
You must get out of here quickly!
The alarm in Tang Ling's heart was screaming crazily, urging her to leave the school quickly.
"Tang, Tang Ling, I think, I want to talk to you..."
When Wang Chao came over, he saw Luo Rui and Li Jia staring at him complainingly, which made him feel a little aggrieved and more sorry. He wanted to apologize to Tang Ling, but when he saw the other party's face was so gloomy, Wang Chao
I really feel like I don’t dare to apologize to Tang Ling now.
Woohoo, Tang Ling looks so fierce now, I don’t dare to mess with her!
"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. Everyone, hurry up and pack your things. It's time for us to leave here!"
Tang Ling patted the shoulder of Wang Chao, who was looking timid and entangled next to her. She picked up her backpack and spoke seriously to everyone. She took out the keys in her bag and walked towards the door.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Zhou obviously sensed Tang Ling's current uneasiness and walked to her side to ask.
"I hope I feel wrong. We are in danger now and need to leave the school quickly!"
Tang Ling said, picking up the key and pointing it at the keyhole. She paused just before she put it in.
