For some reason, Lin An's voice was obviously calm, but when it fell on Angus' ears at this time, it seemed to have magic power, and two smiling faces flashed before his eyes in an instant.
Lisa
Stiff in place.
Even though he has become a scavenger, Angus' back is still straight after years of military service.
But at this moment, slowly rickety.
No surprises at all.
Seeing Angus who suddenly fell silent and even began to breathe quickly, Lin An just waited with rare patience for the other person to speak.
Unable to perform miracles on his own and convince these people with force, Lin An could think of, or wanted to test, how to obtain the power of faith. In fact, he planned to refer to conventional preaching.
Mysterious and magnificent, it can shock the soul.
A choir that inspires and enlightens the soul.
It is in line with human morality and the kindness and salvation that people long for.
These three points are key factors in the process of religious spread.
Magnificent churches bear miraculous effects and make human beings feel small.
Pure children's voices and music make human beings resonate and forget themselves.
Teachings and religious creeds are products of similar rules that allow humans to gain a sense of identity and self-dedication.
But the most important thing is
Talk about the pain!
For humans, the most painful thing in the world is having no one to talk to and no one to help! Self-blame and regret are advanced emotions that humans have that are different from other animals.
But in front of gods, talking about pain can give people a great sense of satisfaction and security! And as they talk and confess, they will bind themselves to the listener! It is like the moment when the pain is spoken, the pain will
Will be divided into two parts!
In layman's terms, a woman always likes to complain about everything to her husband and the person she loves. If the other person is willing to listen, the woman will even fall in love with the other person.
"Something wonderful."
"In a sense, fanatics are actually in love with God."
"I am willing to die for God."
While waiting patiently, Lin An didn't mind paying a little more patience for this test.
He could see that this soldier was even more thirsty for power than Old Put.
So obviously, his experience must have been so painful that he didn't even want to think about it.
"My daughter actually did not turn into a zombie when the apocalypse broke out."
"Neither is my wife."
Hoarseness.
Angus's eyes were bloodshot. When he spoke this time, he didn't seem to look at Lin An anymore, but just stared at the black tire that represented Ling'an.
"When the apocalypse breaks out, I have a gun."
"I am a soldier, I can protect many people, and of course I can protect my wife and children."
"That day, the streets were filled with murderous zombies."
"Although the National Guard did not ask us to protect everyone when the apocalypse broke out, how could I turn a blind eye when I saw everyone dying and the civilians crying and asking me for help."
"The day after the apocalypse broke out, I asked a team member to rush back to Lisa's community and asked my best brother to protect my family."
"And I will protect everyone."
"I thought, maybe I just need to take the students on the bus to the nearest base, and my duty will be completed. After all, I have a family and people I want to protect."
"I have calculated the distance. It takes at most two days to go back and forth. Lisa and the others will stay at home and there will be enough food."
"And there are very few people where we live, and we have guns at home."
"Lisa is very smart and so is Alice."
"I've taken her to the shooting range since she was little and he knows how to shoot."
As if talking to himself, Angus kept saying that the place where he lived was safe and that his wife was also a professional athlete.
He believed that everything would be fine, so he repeated it to himself as if brainwashing him.
Listening to Angus who suddenly fell into a self-loop, Lin An was slightly silent. He knew that this was because the soldier's brain automatically entered a protective state when he was recounting the pain of the past.
He didn't dare to continue talking.
"But they still died."
Interrupting softly, Lin An pushed Angus mercilessly like a narrator guiding him.
Suddenly, Angus was shocked, and his strong body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Dead yes Lisa is dead! Alice is dead!"
"Why! Why will they die when I go back!? Why!?"
"They can obviously protect themselves!"
Raising his head suddenly, Angus's beard-like face, like a tramp's, was full of hysterical madness.
"No! It's my fault! I shouldn't have thought that Hank could protect them! I shouldn't have gone on another mission!"
"Sir, do you know!?"
"I went to rescue survivors again and again! I wasted a whole month! I saved thousands of people!"
Incoherent speech.
Angus raised his hands in front of his chest in pain, as if trying to grasp something, and his whole body was shaking.
Looking at Angus who was in extreme pain and had obviously reached his limit, Lin An sighed inwardly, but still chose to continue.
"So Hank hurt your family?"
"In the next month, something happened that shouldn't have happened?"
Speak softly.
This inquiry immediately hit Angus hard like a giant hammer.
However, to Lin An's surprise, this soldier who was once full of justice and high-spirited suddenly looked at Lin An with hatred in his eyes.
"Hank!?"
"No!!"
"How could my best brother hurt my family!"
"Sir! You know what! You know what! When I came home a month later, I saw Hank's body hanging at the door! I saw his scalp being scalped alive!"
"My daughter, she was tied to the bed and torn open from the middle!"
"She's only seven years old!! They even stuffed her favorite doll into her vagina!!"
"Lisa was kneeling next to the bed! I can't imagine how much humiliation she endured to beg those beasts to stop!!"
Under questioning that was almost crazy, Angus rubbed his knees hard and crawled to Lin An on his knees.
But perhaps his emotional breakdown reached the extreme. After he gasped for breath for a few seconds, he suddenly calmed down and suddenly started laughing.
"grown ups."
"Those beasts are actually the first batch of students I saved."
"I'm so stupid. In order to encourage them to stay strong, I always love to show them my wife and children, telling them that they must live and live for the people they love."
"So, after some of them became awakened, they immediately chose to 'visit' my family."
Raising his head, Angus laughed miserably, and large tears slid down his face covered with dirt, wiping away clean traces of tears.
"Later I found out that they were just curious about whether people like me could still be so optimistic after the death of their loved ones. Just like what I taught them."
"Later, I wanted to take revenge on them, but I couldn't defeat them. I couldn't kill them no matter what."
"They seem to want to see me like a useless person seeking revenge against them again and again."
"I was driven and laughed at by them like a dog."
"Later, that student became a more powerful awakener and the hero of this safe zone."
"And I, Angus, became a dog."
"so."
Angus paused for a moment and looked at Lin An seriously:
"grown ups."
"You're lying to me, right?"
"There is no God in this world."
"It didn't happen before, it doesn't happen now, and it won't happen in the future."
"No matter what, no matter who you are. As long as you can give me strength, I can do anything."
"Even if I sell my soul."
A long period of silence.
Lin An looked at Angus who had gone to extremes and had given up everything. He was silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
