That was his first murder in both his previous and current lives, and he killed two at once.
He doesn't feel any nausea or see his hands tremble like what many articles he had read before say. He doesn't feel the world is different or anything at all. Nothing has changed for him but he can feel his blood boiling. He's like those Infected who lost control of themselves. All he can shows is his anger.
What he is thinking right now is, why did those bastards beat him? That man was spoiled as a kid.
Besides his parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins, the fattie living next door, and his classmate with a ponytail, no one has ever beaten him like this.
They even want to kill him! For f*** sake!
He already died once. He doesn't want to die again.
That's why he pretended to be weak to divert that yellow-haired man's attention before ending that bastard.
For his second victim, well, it was an accident, to be honest.
After killing the yellow-haired man, Lin Yie was already somewhat calmed down. He knew he only had three bullets and after that shot, he had two left so he had to plan carefully.
Unfortunately, his heart may be calm but his body was still trembling in excitement.
Originally, he just wanted to threaten the other Infected to get Elan back, but when he pointed the gun at her captor his finger slipped.
That's how Lin Yie killed the second Infected, and he would probably not be able to forget how that guy looked in the final moment. Horrify.
Right now, there's no time for him to ponder what just happened because when he fired the second shot, everyone was shocked.
After all, it all happened so quickly, and they couldn't read Lin Yie's mind, but they did see what he did.
The vet, who was lying on the ground begging for life, just killed two of the Infected who abused him.
And one of them was killed after surrendering.
Is he really a doctor? Who is the Infected here?
Only a crazier man can suppress the crazies. Fight fire with fire and all that.
Lin Yie thinks quickly and spits out the classic quote.
"Don't ask me where two and three are." He holds Elan close with one hand and points his gun at the Infected with another,
"Real men only need to know 'One' to live in this world."
Of course, Chernobog's Infected don't know where that quote is from. Only Lin Yie knows.
Is was from the main thug of the book Silver Soul.
He can suppress a group of hooligans, despite looking like a dispirited middle-aged man. He gives off the feeling that who doesn't obey him dies, and whenever he shoots after counting just one on the count of three, he gives some false reasoning, such as, "Who the f*** knows numbers. Real men only need to know one to live." In Lin Yie's opinion, that's the biggest thug he knows in Silver Soul.
Right now, Lin Yie needs to become that thug to bring Elan out of this hell to her heaven, her family.
"I will count to three." He points his gun at them, "Move out of my way."
The Infected look at one another. Not sure what to do. So he starts counting.
"One."
The crowded corridor instantly has a clear path.
(Ha, so it does take a crazier man to control these crazies.)
Lin Yie laughs coldly in his heart but just when he is about to leave, he stops in his tracks.
Elan looks up at him, "Brother Lin?"
(We can't just leave like this.)
Lin Yie realizes that if they just walk through the crowd, someone can ambush them easily. He doesn't feel well right now, and his opponents are a mob of violent Infected. If he stops, they will see the bad shape he is in, and he won't be able to live through this night. It is more likely that both of them will die here.
(I can't bring Elan outside.)
Then he gets an idea after thinking for a moment.
(Then should I make them leave?)
But how?. He only has a gun, and it doesn't pose enough threat.
They need to hurry. The longer they take the more danger they will be in. If those Infected block the exit, they won't be able to leave.
Lin Yie has decided. He pats Elan's shoulder, "Go. I will watch your back."
Elan is shocked, "But..."
"Aesop is waiting outside," He cuts her off before she can say anything.
"When you find him, go home right away. Your parents have looked for you for a long time. Remember, don't leave like that again."
Elan is tearing up again, "N-No! We'll go together! I don't want to leave you! "
"Stop being difficult." He pushes her aside and acts coldly.
"I still need to deal with these lunatics."
When the Infected hear him, their expressions change.
He still wants to deal with them?!)
Is he stupid? Does he think he has a million bullets?
Still, no one dares to speak up.
They can only watch as the girl leave unwillingly still hesitant to go.
"Did you not eat?!" Lin Yie shouts, "Or did you learn P.E. from your language teacher?"
She also quickens her step. The sobs of hers are slowly quieten down.
Someone tries to stop her.
Lin Yie shouts, "Who the f*** say you could move?! You want a bullet in you too?!"
They all instantly freeze. No one dare moves a muscle.
(Elan should be safe now. Now, it is just me, a gun and a corridor full of the Infected.)
The atmosphere is getting tense.
Lin Yie lowers his gun slowly and takes out a match and a cigarette. His boss gave them to him a year ago but he doesn't smoke so he has saved them until now. Now, he feels like smoking.
The flame lights up his cigarette and smoke rises to the ceiling, forming a white barrier between him and the Infected.
Lin Yie looks at the Infected through the smoke.
He takes his time.
He remembered one time in middle school he tried smoking. His father found out what he did and he was beaten into a pulp by him.
His father said, "If you want to die, then keep on smoking."
So, he smokes.
He can feel the door to hell opening up for him, and the devil is beckoning him to go inside.
"He's alone!"
"It's just a gun. Six bullets! Just six bullets! Now he only has three left!"
The Infected yell at one another to making moves.
Lin Yie smiles coldly.
(Why not tell them? )
"I didn't have six bullets. All I had were three." He says, "Now, there is one left."
He takes the cartridge out and shows the remaining bullet to the crowd.
True on he said, there is a single bullet on there. Then, he puts it back and cocks the gun.
He is aiming at the crowd again.
"And so, which one of you wants to be my last victim?"
