"But then again, what should we do with these people?" Magna frowned slightly, a thoughtful look in her eyes. She glanced at the dozen or so people leaning against the wall, their heads in their hands.
Indeed... How should these people be dealt with? Kill them or let them go? Xu Mo fell into a brief moment of contemplation. His eyes flickered with entanglement and weighing.
Their firing had endangered both him and Magna. For that very reason, letting them go was out of the question. However, he wasn't a murderer. Shooting a dozen unarmed men was simply out of his reach. Furthermore, they had only opened fire on Alec on his orders. After Alec, the main culprit, had escaped, these men had surrendered without further resistance. For that reason, executing them seemed excessive.
After thinking for a while, Xu Mo suddenly had an idea.
He looked at the people squatting on the ground with a stern look and said:
"Just because you opened fire, I won't let you go..."
Having said this, Xu Mo paused for a moment. His eyes were sharp as a torch, closely watching the reactions of these people.
After hearing what he said, those who were squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads began to tremble instantly. Their bodies trembled slightly, and their eyes were filled with fear.
Soon, the only woman among the dozen people raised her head, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, and said: "Alec ordered us to do this. We had no intention of shooting at you."
"Yeah, yeah, it was Alec who forced us to do it." With Reese leading the charge, the others chimed in. Their voices trembled as they tried to defend themselves.
Xu Mo glanced at the woman and the other survivors. His eyes were filled with scrutiny, and he continued, "I know. Because of this, I don't plan to kill you for the time being."
After hearing Xu Mo's words, the dozen or so people looked confused. They looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts.
You don't want to let them go, but you don't want to kill them either. What do you want to do?
"What do you want us to do?" The woman asked shortly after Xu Mo finished speaking. There was a hint of eager inquiry in her eyes.
"Quite smart." Xu Mo nodded slightly and looked at the woman with a high opinion of her. At the same time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly and he said:
"It's simple. I want you to join me in a surprise attack on the Stone Shelter."
"As long as you are willing to join me in the raid on the Stone Shelter, I can forgive you for firing at me before, and I can also let you go."
Before, there were only him and Magna, and it was too risky to raid the Stone Shelter.
But if these dozen or so people join, it will be different.
First, these people knew the inside story of the Stone shelter.
They can even sneak in quietly if there is a weak defense in the area.
Secondly, these people can not only provide him with some fire support, but also help him attract some firepower.
The most important thing is that these people are not his, so he will not feel sad or upset even if they die.
"What if we don't want to go?" someone asked cautiously, his voice trembling and his eyes filled with worry.
"Die!" Xu Mo spat out a word coldly. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his expression was as cold as frost.
These people had crossed his line by firing on him. He should have just killed them.
The reason he didn't kill these people outright was because he still had some humanity and a kind heart. Furthermore, these people were indeed under Alec's orders and their attitudes were quite good. Therefore, he decided to give them a chance to atone for their sins.
If they don't want this opportunity, then Xu Mo can only send them to see the God they believe in.
After hearing Xu Mo's words, the man who had just asked the question immediately fell silent. His body was trembling slightly, and sweat was already pouring down his back.
"I'm willing to join." It was the same woman who said this. A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
"I'm willing to join"
“I’d like to join too.”
"And me"
“…”
After hearing Reis take the lead in speaking, the others also rushed to speak. Their voices were full of panic, fearing that they would be killed by Xu Mo in the next second.
"Very good." Seeing that everyone was willing to join his action, Xu Mo nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, he smiled half-threateningly and said:
"I hope you really mean it and aren't just saying this to get over me."
"If I find out that someone has deceived me, they will die miserably."
"Do you understand?" Xu Mo's eyes were like lightning as he scanned the dozen or so people in front of him.
"Understood," the dozen or so people said in unison. Their voices were filled with awe, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
To be honest, most of them were somewhat dissatisfied with the system of the Stone Shelter. In the Stone Shelter, they were just third-class people. Whether it was going out to plunder supplies or patrolling and keeping watch, they were the ones who did all the work.
The first and second class people didn't have to do anything. They just had to stay in the shelter, live in the best houses, eat the best food, and then point fingers at them.
Meanwhile, outside St. Yelm Hospital.
