Chapter 627 Chen Yuanlin
I watched the situation inside. Zhu Zhenhao punched the guy in the face, and the guy howled, but still didn't say anything.
Zhu Zhenhao then turned to look out the window and walked out of the house.
He told me, "This kid is tough. I beat him until he cried, but he didn't say anything."
I said, "Should I go in and ask?"
Zhu Zhenhao asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
I shook my head and said, "No, but we can try."
Zhu Zhenhao did not object and said, "Alright, then you go and try it. Be careful, don't let this kid spit on you."
"Got it." I nodded, went into the house, closed the door, and came up to the kid. I put my hands in my pockets and stared at him. He didn't say anything, but looked up at me and sneered.
Immediately, I heard him say, "What, you can't get anything out of me, so you're planning to ask someone else? Let me tell you, forget about it, I won't tell you those things, even if I die, I won't tell you."
"What's the matter?" I asked.
He looked at me with a puzzled expression, not understanding what I meant by asking that question.
I said, "You said you wouldn't tell us those things just now. I'm very curious about what it is that makes you so tight-lipped, that you'd rather die than tell us."
The kid said, "What's it to you?"
I said, "It really doesn't matter, so let's not dwell on it. By the way, what's your name? I don't even know it yet."
He didn't speak, as if he didn't want to tell me.
I smiled and said, "You don't want to tell me? That's fine, if you don't want to say, then don't say. Let's talk about something else. What did you do before the zombie outbreak? You look quite young, you must have been a college student, right?"
"No," he answered me instinctively.
"Oh, so you're already working?"
He glared at me and roared, "What's it to you! I'm in your hands now. You can kill me or do whatever you want with me, but don't even think about getting anything out of me!"
I said, "Why are you so agitated? Do you know that I saved your life?"
He looked at me with surprise.
I said, "When they dragged you in just now, your leg wound was bleeding profusely, and the bullet was lodged in your thigh. If I hadn't treated your wound and removed the bullet, you wouldn't have lived much longer, understand?"
He stared at me. "You want me to thank you? You might as well just let me die!"
I smiled slightly, pulled out my pistol, and said, "Okay."
His expression immediately changed. He stared at the pistol in my hand and said fearfully, "What, what are you going to do?"
I pressed the gun against his forehead, feigning surprise, and said, "Didn't you just say you'd rather die? Well, I'll grant your wish and let you die. Anyway, you won't tell us anything useful if you stay. Even if we lock you up for a day or two, you probably won't say anything, right? Rather than wasting time and food like this, it's better to just kill you. As for your people, in a few days, they'll probably assume you're dead and won't care about you anymore."
He was truly panicked at this point; I could see his eyes trembling. He was terrified of dying.
Since you're so afraid of dying, that makes things much easier.
I continued, "The person who came in just now thought he could get some information out of you, which is why he didn't kill you. But I don't think so. Since you were sent here to monitor us, it means you don't actually know much. You're just an outer member, so your knowledge is definitely limited. And even if you did tell us, there's a high chance you're lying to us. In that case, why should I believe you? Wouldn't it be simpler to just kill you?"
The boy cried out in a panic, "No, please, don't kill me! I beg you, I... I don't want to die!"
He started begging for mercy, which was a good start.
I chuckled and said, "But I really think that Nai's existence is completely useless, so you should just die."
After saying that, I was about to pull the trigger.
Seeing that I was serious, he closed his eyes and hurriedly said, "My name is Chen Yuanlin! I'm twenty-three years old, I didn't go to university, I used to work as a handyman in a restaurant, and later I became a kitchen helper!"
Hearing this, I immediately laughed: "That's all? It's still not very useful."
"No, no, no, there's more, I know a lot more. Can you put the gun down first? I'll tell you everything after you put it down."
I said, "But why should I believe you?"
"Because I want to live! I don't want to die!"
I said, "You go first. If what you say sounds fake to me, then I'm sorry, I'll have to kill you."
He hurriedly said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. It's true, I'm living in a village now. I don't know what the village is called, but there are about a hundred people living there. Everyone is living peacefully. We weren't worried about food at first because there was a warehouse nearby with plenty of food. But after a year, we've almost run out of food, and a lot of the food in the warehouse has gone bad and we can't eat it anymore."
"And then? You sent people to launch a surprise attack on this place?"
Chen Yuanlin shook his head and said, "No, at first we were looking for food around here, but we searched almost everything we could find before we found this school. Then we wanted to negotiate with you to see if we could get some food from you, but at that time our people saw that you had guns, so they didn't dare to come over, afraid that you would kill people."
I chuckled. "They won't dare come over when they see we have guns, but they'd dare to launch a sneak attack?"
Chen Yuanlin said, "There was no other way. We had no food and were about to starve to death. We had no choice but to come here. We didn't want to kill anyone. We just wanted to get some food to take back. But, but I didn't expect that we went to an armory and we were discovered. We had no choice but to fight back and kill. We, we really didn't mean to."
I said, "Whether you did it on purpose or not, I don't care, but you did kill someone, and that's undeniable. Now that we've clarified that, let's talk about what happened today. Why were you spying on us from that old house on the west side?"
Chen Yuanlin's face turned panicked, and he said, "I, we just wanted to find food, we had no other intentions. Monitoring you was an order from the boss, we had no choice, and I don't know why the boss wanted us to monitor you."
