Time ticked by, second by second. The air on the playground seemed to freeze, leaving only the mournful sound of the wind blowing past the flagpole and the heavy, suppressed breathing of the three men.
Qin Ye simply crossed his arms, watching them with an air of leisure, as if he were enjoying a wonderful silent play, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips.
He wasn't in a hurry at all; he had plenty of time. He knew that the dam of humanity only needed a small crack to collapse completely.
"What? So much brotherly love makes it hard to choose?" Qin Ye said calmly, breaking the silence. "In that case, let's proceed with option one. Someone, bring three bowls."
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back!
"don't want!"
"No, instructor!"
The three of them screamed at the same time, their voices as shrill as a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Wang Dazhuang could hold on no longer. He suddenly raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes. He couldn't wait any longer; if he waited any longer, all three of them would perish together!
He must break this deadlock!
His gaze met Li Erniu's in mid-air. He frantically gestured with his eyes, his lips barely moving as he silently uttered two words: "Tiezhu!"
Li Erniu's body stiffened abruptly, a fierce struggle flashing in his eyes. On one hand, there was the utter disgrace of being treated worse than a pig or a dog; on the other, the eternal infamy of betraying his brothers. In his already simple mind, loyalty and fear were locked in a frenzied battle.
All of this was clearly seen by the most inconspicuous person in the corner.
Zhao Tiezhu was trembling all over. He saw Wang Dazhuang's lip movements and Li Erniu's hesitation.
He knew he had been abandoned.
He was the sacrificial offering pushed out to ward off disaster.
On what grounds?
Why am I always the one who suffers bad luck?
Why should I be left to drink soup while you all get to eat meat, and now that things are tough, I have to shoulder the burden all by myself?
A tremendous surge of resentment and unwillingness erupted from the depths of Zhao Tiezhu's heart like a volcano, instantly overwhelming all fear!
He didn't want to eat swill, and he didn't want to die!
Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Just as Wang Dazhuang thought he had convinced Li Erniu and was about to point at Zhao Tiezhu—
"Reporting, Instructor!"
A sharp, almost piercing scream suddenly shattered the silence of the playground!
Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound.
Suddenly, Zhao Tiezhu, who had been slumped on the ground and trembling like a leaf, sprang up and, with all his might, raised a trembling hand, not pointing at anyone, but straight up to the sky!
Wang Dazhuang and Li Erniu were completely stunned, their minds going blank.
They never expected that the first to jump out and bite back would be Zhao Tiezhu, whom they considered the most cowardly and insignificant!
"Report, Instructor! I have something to report! I want to expose something!" Zhao Tiezhu's voice became high-pitched and thin with excitement.
This sudden reversal stunned all the soldiers present, and then an uncontrollable murmur of discussion erupted from them.
"Holy crap! What's going on? What's this kid up to?"
"Is this... a case of sacrificing family for the greater good?"
"This is going to be good!"
Gao Kai was so excited he almost jumped up. He lowered his voice and said to Su Tang, "Teacher Su, look! This bastard has turned against us! Haha, dogs fighting, it's going to be fun!"
Wang Dazhuang's face turned deathly pale instantly. He pointed at Zhao Tiezhu and roared furiously, "Zhao Tiezhu! Are you fucking crazy?! What do you think you're doing?!"
Li Erniu also grew anxious and threatened, "Tiezhu! Have you thought this through? Some things can't be said carelessly!!!"
