Xu Mo transmi...
Xu Mo frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said:
"You said earlier that it's absolutely impossible for a person to survive being hit repeatedly in the heart and organs. If they're still alive, they're definitely not human."
"There happens to be a zombie in your well right now, or what you call a 'patient'."
"Our bet is—"
"If I shoot its heart and vital parts and it dies, even if I lose, I can unconditionally promise you anything."
"If I shoot its heart and vital parts and it survives, even if I win, you must join my team and obey my command."
After hearing Xu Mo's words, Hershel suddenly realized Xu Mo's real intention, which was to win them over.
However, he didn't believe in his heart that there was anyone who could be shot in the heart and vital parts and not only survive but also be able to move freely.
As for the bet that Xu Mo mentioned, Hershel thought to himself that whether he won or lost, it seemed to be of no harm to him.
If he wins, he can legitimately let Xu Mo and his team leave his farm and restore his former peace.
If he really lost, it might not be a bad thing to join Xu Mo's team. At least through his brief observation, Xu Mo and his people did not seem to be bad people. If he could join them, he and his daughters might also be able to get some security.
But when he thought about using the patient's life as a bargaining chip, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty and reluctant.
While Hershel was lost in thought, Beth, who was standing beside him, heard Xu Mo's bet and the content of the bet, and her mind was also full of thoughts:
Combined with the previous private conversation between Xu Mo and her, it is obvious that Xu Mo now wants to prove that those "patients" are not patients, but zombies.
If what Xu Mo said was true, then her mother and brother wouldn't be...
No, it's impossible, Beth desperately denied it in her heart. What Xu Mo said was absolutely a lie. Her mother and brother could not be the terrible monsters that Xu Mo said!
Beth looked at Hershel with firm eyes. She now hoped that her father would agree to it, win the bet, and let Xu Mo know that these were patients, not monsters!
Thinking of this, Beth couldn't help but shout to Hershel: "Dad!"
Hearing Beth's cry, Hershel slowly turned his head and looked at Beth.
Then he saw Beth nodding at him heavily with her clear and firm eyes.
Hershel instantly understood the meaning in Beth's eyes. He hesitated for half a second, frowned slightly, then looked at Xu Mo again and said firmly, "I agree to this bet."
"Once you agree, you can't go back on your word. Are you sure?" Xu Mo said with a serious expression and sharp eyes looking at the two of them.
"We agree!" Bei stood up without hesitation, with an unquestionable firmness in his eyes, and said loudly.
Hearing this, Xu Mo turned his gaze to Hershel.
Hershel also nodded slightly, with a complicated emotion in his eyes, expressing his agreement.
Seeing that Hershel and Beth had no objections, Xu Mo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said: "Okay, then it's a deal. Let's go to the well and take a look at the zombie."
After saying that, Xu Mo took Hershel and Beth towards the well.
After a while, Xu Mo brought the two of them to the location of the well.
At this moment, a group of people gathered around the well.
In addition to Amy, Andrea and Dale who were there at the beginning, Lori, Carol, Jacqui and others also rushed over after hearing the news.
After seeing Xu Mo and Hershel coming, they all consciously made way, moving quickly and orderly, leaving space for them.
Xu Mo looked at Amy, Andrea, and Dale, and asked with a focused look, "What's the situation?"
"It's still swimming down there." Dale said with a relaxed expression and a slight upward curve of his lips.
"Xu Mo, what should we do now?" Amy walked quickly to Xu Mo's side, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes, staring at Xu Mo and asked.
The other members of the team also turned their gazes to Xu Mo, their eyes filled with trust and dependence.
Xu Mo is their backbone and leader. In their hearts, whatever Xu Mo says is what it is.
Xu Mo glanced at Hershel and Beth, then looked down at the zombies in the well. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.
"We have to find a way to get this walker out of there with a rope."
"What should we do?" Andrea looked down at the zombies below, then raised her head with a puzzled look and looked towards Xu Mo, with a questioning look in her eyes.
"We still have a lot of canned meat in the car. How about we tie the canned meat to a rope, tie a knot on the rope to trap the zombie, and pull it up?" Lori made a suggestion, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, as if this plan could be implemented smoothly.
"That's a good plan." Jacqui nodded in agreement, a look of approval on his face and a hint of relief in his eyes.
Xu Mo shook his head, his eyes firm, and said, "Don't waste food. Zombies won't react to this. Only fresh flesh and blood can excite them. Besides, it's not a manual operation, so it's not easy to lasso this big guy. We need someone to go down and lasso it personally."
Lori nodded as well, and said thoughtfully, "That makes sense, so the zombies won't raid our food cabinets."
