"What do you want to talk about?" Suwan asked calmly.
"Why did you kill that person in charge?" Zoe pinched her fingers, looking rather nervous.
"He turned into a zombie. Didn't you say the same thing to the soldiers?" Suwan raised his eyebrows, as if Zoe was the one who made the mistake.
Zoe gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Be serious and don't be such a rogue."
Suwan smiled instead, with an expression that said, "So what?"
Suwan knew that Zuo had caught them, and sooner or later they would have to talk about the person in charge. Even though Suwan and Angela did not intend to hurt the person in charge, the person in charge was already dead, and there was no point in regretting it. Besides, the students of Belster were not too kind. Kind people would not be welcome on the battlefield or in official circles. Charlotte, who was too kind, committed an unforgivable mistake.
"We all know what happened, Suwan. You shouldn't kill the person in charge for no reason," Zoe asked directly, realizing that Suwan would not confess voluntarily.
"So what?" Suwan sneered, "You want to report me? Well, you can go to the military and tell them that the person in charge was not killed after the corpse turned into a corpse, but someone deliberately murdered him. Even if the military believes it, Professor Zoe, let me ask you, what can we find out from the body of the person in charge now?"
Suwan was right. No matter how the person in charge died, his body had been disposed of and it was impossible to check his wounds.
"That's not what I meant," Zoe said, a little annoyed.
However, Zoe had never seen Suwan's true cheating. Suwan looked at Zoe indifferently and said, "Besides, you are also an accomplice. You had the opportunity to report us to the soldiers when you saw the body of the person in charge, but you helped to conceal it. Thank you for helping us conceal it. What, you helped us because you were confused at the time, and now you regret it and want to report me?"
"I said I won't tell on you!" Zoe stood up excitedly. She had always been calm, but now she yelled at Suwan: "You killed someone, how can you take it so lightly?!"
Suwan found it ridiculous: "Professor Zoe, have you been in the lab for too long? Your mind is really confused. Haven't I killed enough people?"
"That's different!" Zoe said angrily, "He's not a zombie, not an al-Qaeda member, and not our enemy!"
"Professor Zoe," Suwan called her sarcastically, "When you were doing experiments and saw those living people turned into a pool of meat paste, did you question yourself like you are doing now?"
Zoe was visibly panicked. She didn't expect Suwan to know the contents of those experiments. She even took a step back in fear.
"Professor Zoe, what are you afraid of?" Suwan asked her with a smile.
"That's different," Zoe, who was furious just now, didn't even dare to look Suwan in the eye. She said guiltily, "That's different. What I did was necessary. It was for the benefit of more people..."
"Benefits for more people, do you mean the creation of these failed biological weapons that brought about this disaster?!" Suwan interrupted her mercilessly and questioned her.
"You're right, I know," Zoe said in a low voice, looking at Suwan sadly: "But no matter what this society becomes, at least we are still alive. But if we lose our humanity and ignore moral laws, what is the difference between us and those zombies?" She looked at Suwan and said, "You're right, I am guilty, I know, but Suwan, I don't want you to become like that." After she said that, she stumbled and ran away.
Suwan lowered his head and looked at the lunch box in his hand. Suddenly, he cursed angrily and threw the lunch box to the ground.
But you have to pick up what you have thrown away yourself. Suwan regretted throwing the food all over the floor. He put on his shoes, supported his heavy leg in a cast, hopped on one foot, and slowly swept the floor with a broom. Then he touched his unsatisfied stomach, climbed back into bed, and stared blankly with an expressionless face.
Luckily Angela came back with another dinner.
Suwan didn't mention going to Zoe's place that night, Angela thought she had forgotten about it, and of course she didn't remind her. Although Zoe was a nice person, Angela always felt that she was too attentive to Suwan and didn't care about her. Suwan slept on the bed, and Angela slept on the floor. But even though she slept on the bed, Suwan couldn't sleep because she was worried. She stared at the wall with her eyes open. When she couldn't sleep, she tormented Angela, touched her belt and swung it towards Angela, and the belt made a slight sound.
Angela was already fast asleep, but the Belster students were very alert. Angela woke up as soon as the voice was heard, and she heard Suwan whispering to her, "Angela."
Angela propped herself up and looked at her, and responded in a low voice: "You want to go to the toilet? Didn't I help you go to the toilet before? Did you drink too much water or eat too much at night?"
Suwan cursed, "Bullshit," and stretched out his good leg to kick Angela. Angela had no choice but to gather the quilt and rub against Suwan, then moved to the side of her bed, propped up her upper body and lay on the side of Suwan's bed, blinking and looking at her: "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"You woke me up with your snoring." Suwan said confidently.
"…Why didn't the others wake up?"
"Whatever, I can't sleep anyway."
"…you could just say no," Angela rolled her eyes.
"Let me ask you a question."
"Answer me, do you still snore when you sleep?" Angela blinked.
"No."
"Then ask." Angela was immediately interested.
"Do you think I'm scary?"
Why did he wake her up in the middle of the night just to ask this question? Angela was a little dumbfounded, but Suwan was really asking seriously, so Angela thought about it seriously. She wanted to say, scary, just like a little devil, but of course she didn't dare to say that. Angela shook her head without hesitation: "You are very cute, not scary at all."
"Really?" Suwan asked doubtfully.
"Really, it's cute, like an elf."
"That's too much. Change it."
"As cute as a kitten."
"But we killed someone."
Angela would have laughed out loud if the timing hadn't been so bad.
"so what?"
"Isn't it scary?"
"Don't make me laugh," Angela tried very hard to hold back her laughter.
To prove that she was serious, Suwan kicked Angela again.
"We killed people, so it's scary?" Angela suppressed her laughter: "Come on, isn't that what we do?" In just these two days, they have killed quite a few living and dead people.
"That's different. We killed people for a reason. We had to kill al-Qaeda members and zombies, otherwise we would be the ones to die. That's not murder, it's self-defense, but the person in charge..." Suwan said, "We killed him for selfish reasons."
Angela's smile froze on her face, and she frowned: "No, we killed him in self-defense. He pulled out a gun at the time."
This excuse is terrible.
They know it very well, it's all for their own selfish reasons.
Angela paused, then added, "It wasn't us who killed him, it was Instructor Will."
"But we didn't save him."
The students at Belster reacted quickly, and they could have stopped Instructor Will from rescuing the person in charge when he drew his dagger, if they had wanted to.
But they didn't.
The people in charge will die because of their selfishness.
This is completely different from fighting al-Qaeda and killing zombies.
Angela couldn't find an excuse to shirk responsibility, and asked Suwan impatiently: "It's not that we want to kill him, it's that this society is no longer reasonable." After she said that, regardless of whether Suwan had any questions or not, she turned over and went to sleep.
Suwan did not torment her anymore. She stared at the ceiling with eyes wide open, unable to sleep. Zoe's words, "If you have lost your humanity, what's the difference between you and zombies?" kept tormenting her, almost repeating them in her ears, making her uneasy.
The discipline at Bellster Academy is strict. During the five years of closed training, contact with outsiders is strictly prohibited to prevent the specific location of the academy from being discovered. There are no so-called holidays. The only fun every year is to tease the new students, give them a heads-up, and then gain their admiration. Although it is useless, at least their vanity is satisfied. This is also the only interesting thing that makes Suwan and other graduating students never get tired of it.
Suwan still has one year to graduate. She misses her family very much. In another year, she can go home to visit her family and then enter the military and political circles. Her mentors like her very much and will undoubtedly give her a good evaluation. Suwan can almost see a bright future. She has a good vision, but when she is about to graduate, a shady incident occurs, so Suwan's original plan is disrupted. These students probably won't graduate.
The students all knew that they would be on the battlefield at any time. Who would be willing to fight a monster like that? They would rather fight a living person, but things had already developed to this point, and it might even be worse. It was irreversible and they were destined to never be able to return to their previous lives.
The dead can crawl out of hell, and former friends can become evil spirits. Can this be explained by reason?
Angela is right, this society can no longer be reasonable.
You must not blame them, it must be like this.
