Chapter 883: Chapter 385: On the Road_3

Why is this subway station devoid of zombies, or has only a few zombies? Why is it orderly?

There are several reasons. One reason is that this subway station is under construction and not open to the public. The second reason is that the subway entrance is located at the city center, where above-ground noises are more likely to attract zombies. The third reason, due to the construction, is the infiltration of groundwater, which provides sufficient water supply for everyone. The fourth reason is that there are two patrolling officers, a male and a female, in command. Also, there are vending machines and a fried chicken shop on the platform. Currently, there is no problem with food and water.

Seeing an ambulance overturn, the female officer instinctively wanted to help, but quickly retreated as armed personnel emerged from inside.

Xiao Wu did not recognize these two officers in uniform, and to prevent any commotion, he showed his blood-stained ID briefly, but it did not relieve everyone’s fear. Xiao Wu approached the nearest female officer, who kept retreating until Xiao Wu called her back: "There are still some medicines inside the ambulance, I suggest you leave the underground line as soon as possible, it’s uncertain how long the south dam can hold."

The female officer asked, "Officer, where are you headed?" momentarily trusting Xiao Wu’s ID.

"On a mission."

The female officer asked, "Can you take us with you?"

"Sorry."

Lin Wu shouted from the platform, "Let’s go."

A bold person seeing the other was an officer, approached Lin Wu, "Officer, take us with you, please?"

Lin Wu raised his gun to keep him away: "Xiao Wu!"

"Go on." Xiao Wu nodded, hurried back to the team, and along with Lin Wu and Lin Meng jumped down from the platform onto the tracks, walking forward along the tracks.

After walking about two hundred meters, the team encountered four young men sitting at an electricity maintenance platform. This is a platform used for routine maintenance within the subway, equipped with a workshop. Judging from them holding wrenches and fire axes, they seemed to have some aggressive intentions. Despite the dim lighting on either side of the subway tracks, they spotted Lin Wu’s group immediately.

Both groups stood, one higher and one lower, only seven meters apart. Lin Wu stopped, stood, and aimed his gun: "Past."

One of the young men who had been sitting stood up, and Lin Wu immediately shot him dead, startling the other three, who quickly stepped back a few paces. Lin Meng went past first, then covered Lin Wu with her gun, allowing him to pass.

The three walked silently for another hundred meters, then Xiao Wu spoke up, "You didn’t have to kill them."

"Yes."

Lin Meng said, "Xiao Wu, you have to trust me, compared to before, he has become kinder. When Xiao Jing made the decision to stay behind in the hospital, it even touched him for three seconds."

Lin Wu disagreed, "That wasn’t being touched, it was because of her actions that I began to contemplate the meaning of life."

Lin Meng: "Oh."

Xiao Wu said, "I don’t know how to say this, but I feel like you really don’t respect the people of Earth."

Lin Wu stopped and said: "Xiao Wu, I respect you. I admit that I had no respect for Xiao Jing before, treating her as a burden. But when she made the decision to stay behind, I began to respect her."

"No, this respect of yours is more about charity and exploitation. You respect the value, not the person." Xiao Wu said, "What if I had no value?"

Lin Wu patiently explained: "Xiao Wu, it’s the apocalypse, of course, value is very important, but comrades are even more crucial. We are comrades now, even if you have no value, I wouldn’t abandon you. Just like with Nightmares, she gave up better escape routes and opportunities to stay with her comrades. I may have been scornful towards Xiao Jing, and even though I acted harshly, I never intended to leave her behind to die. You can’t expect me to be equally fervent towards everyone; I can only restrain myself through basic morals."

Lin Wu continued, "Conversely, if saving you required me to kill everyone on the platform, I would do it without hesitation. To save any comrade, to prevent comrades from being in danger, I would not hesitate to kill others. In that regard, it’s you who doesn’t see us as comrades, not me not respecting you."

Lin Meng looked at Lin Wu in shock; the devil is getting better at talking, making a roundabout accusation against others in the end.

You’ve got to say, Xiao Wu was indeed stunned by Lin Wu’s words, it took him a while to understand the difference; he wanted to treat most people equally, while Lin Wu doesn’t regard people outside of his comrades as people at all. Normally, he would be right, but perhaps Lin Wu is right in the apocalypse.
