Chapter 5 Scarface
Chapter 5 Scarface
The middle-aged man, the auntie buying groceries, and the timid boy all looked as if they were afraid that if they were too slow to give way, they would be targeted by Zhang Jie.
Zhang Jie slowly approached the chubby boy, his expression playful, like a cat catching a mouse.
Looking at his isolated and helpless state, and Zhang Jie gradually approaching him, the chubby boy's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground like a mushy noodle.
The chubby boy used both hands to help himself move his body backward, but suddenly his face froze. His back seemed to be against a wall, and he could no longer move his body backward. He quickly turned his head to look behind him and found that his retreat was blocked by a transparent light shield.
"It's over."
The chubby boy stiffly turned his head, involuntarily swallowed, and said nervously and fearfully:
"Don't come any closer, can't you see me?"
"Killing someone will deduct 1000 reward points."
Zhang Jie didn't stop walking, and with a disdainful smile, he said:
Did I say I was going to kill you?
"All I need to do is break your legs and let you fend for yourself."
Hearing this, Zheng Zha looked on with pity and couldn't help but take half a step forward. Just as he was about to speak, he felt someone tug at his arm. He turned his head and saw that it was the young woman with glasses next to him. She shook her head and gave him a warning look, obviously realizing that he wanted to speak up and stop her.
Zheng Zha gave Zhan Lan a look, indicating that it was alright, then stepped forward and stopped Zhang Jie, saying:
"Brother, look at him, he's clearly scared. Why don't we let him go this time?"
Zhang Jie's playful expression suddenly froze, his entire demeanor changed, and he said coldly:
"Since you're so kind, why don't you break his leg instead!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha was visibly taken aback, and his face immediately showed some embarrassment. Clearly, faced with this answer that left no room for maneuver, he suddenly didn't know how to respond.
After all, Zheng Zha had been a white-collar worker for so many years, and his colleagues would give each other some face. Even if there were conflicts, they would maintain a superficial harmony and at most engage in backstabbing. Such a scene of directly tearing each other apart was really rare.
Zheng Zha originally thought that since everyone was in the same team and would be going to go through a horror movie together, they should help each other and work together.
result……
At this point, Zheng Zha was already somewhat regretful. It was true that he was a good-natured person, but to have his legs broken in place of the chubby boy showed that their friendship hadn't really reached that level.
Zheng Zha just felt that the little fat boy's words were indeed rude, and that teaching him a lesson was enough; it didn't warrant breaking his legs.
After all, in the horror movie Resident Evil, losing both legs is basically a death sentence.
Seeing Zheng Zha's awkward situation, Zhan Lan rolled her eyes in annoyance. She couldn't stop him earlier, and now look what happened. She helped that fat guy out of a predicament, and he still retorted. He still hasn't learned his lesson.
Seeing the scarred man with the gun and his fierce appearance, Zhan Lan didn't dare to say anything more in support.
To reiterate, Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha's friendship hasn't reached that level.
As for the chubby boy next to him, seeing that only Zheng Zha risked offending Scarface to step in and save him from trouble, he realized that he had misunderstood Zheng Zha before.
This guy, who dresses maturely and looks like a social butterfly, isn't just pretending to be a nice guy or a sycophant; he's a genuinely nice person.
At this moment, the chubby boy was also filled with gratitude towards Zheng Zha, but he didn't have time to thank Zheng Zha. Looking at the scarred man holding the gun, who looked fierce and menacing, it was clear that he was really going to break his legs today.
The chubby boy had also watched Resident Evil and knew very well that if his legs were broken, he would be doomed.
In that life-or-death moment, the little fat boy's pitiful pride was instantly thrown to the back of his mind, and he spoke:
"Brother Scarface, I was ignorant and spoke rudely before. Could you please forgive me this time? I will never dare to do it again."
"sorry!"
Zhang Jie, who had been waiting for Zheng Zha's answer, relaxed his tense face slightly, and his expression became less serious and cold.
Geralt, who had originally intended to observe from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up after hearing the chubby boy's apology, his eyes flickering slightly:
"This chubby kid really has a foul mouth. Just slap him twice and teach him a lesson."
No sooner had Geralt finished speaking than the chubby boy raised his hand and slapped himself twice across the face, making the fleshy parts of his face tremble. Then he said very sincerely:
"I'm sorry, Scarface."
The chubby boy slapped her twice with great force, without holding back, leaving clear red handprints on each cheek.
Seeing that the situation was becoming clearer and the atmosphere was improving, Zhan Lan, who was standing nearby, immediately seized the opportunity to join the group and also spoke up to Zhang Jie, saying:
"Big brother, please let him off this time. It'll be a good opportunity for another person to help in the horror movie later."
The chubby boy abandoned his previous pitiful pride and, as if he had suddenly matured, immediately followed up on Zhan Lan's words:
"Brother Scarface, don't worry, I'll definitely listen to you from now on."
Zhang Jie involuntarily touched the scar on his face, his eyes momentarily glazed over, as if he could see Freddy's terrifying face again, holding scissors and grinning maliciously.
"I have a name, my name is Zhang Jie."
Zhang Jie said this in an annoyed tone, while simultaneously putting his Desert Eagle back into its holster.
The chubby boy, however, immediately understood and said:
"Hello, Brother Zhang Jie, my name is Zhu Peng."
Seeing that the situation had eased, the others relaxed and gathered around. Zhan Lan also suggested:
"We'll all be going through thick and thin together soon, so let's introduce ourselves. Right now, apart from Zhang Jie and Zhu Peng, we don't know each other's names."
Seeing that no one objected, Zhan Lan continued, "Let me start!"
But before Zhan Lan could introduce herself, Geralt suddenly stood up straight and said somewhat warily:
"Wait a minute, the light barrier has disappeared, and it seems like those soldiers on the other side can see us."
At this moment, Zhang Jie also spoke up:
"He's right. Next, you need to remember that when the God's light shield disappears, it means we are about to officially enter the horror movie to complete the God's mission. As for the mission, you've all seen the watches. From now on, the characters in the horror movie can see us and hear anything we say."
"The most important thing to remember is: do not reveal any information about the Main God Space to any of the characters in the story. Saying even one will deduct 10 points, and by the end of the story, you'll still have negative points and will be directly eliminated by the Main God!"
