Chereads / TWD: A New Beginning From the End of the World / Chapter 48 - I am a righteous man.

Chapter 48 - I am a righteous man.

Thomas cursed this pair of idiots internally, but explained clearly, "Although he's short, he's very agile and can solve a lot of problems. With him on our side, no one will have to go out and do the most dangerous things alone!" 

"Damn! Let's hurry, don't wake the others." With some impatience, Merle handed a set of keys to Thomas and began to look around very frequently. 

Looking to the side, Shane's gaze was somewhat unnatural, he didn't know if going to all that trouble to do this could really judge these two killers who for now we're just looking to save themselves. He would rather shoot these two people and get this over with quickly, but not everyone had the same thoughts as him and Airon.

Looking at the keys in Merle's hands, he hesitated for a moment before taking the keys and unlocking the cell where Andrew was resting, Thomas opened the door and gently stepped inside to wake the other party. 

Andrew, who was sleeping at the moment, suddenly felt someone hit him and then his mouth was covered. He was so frightened that he woke up in an instant and tried desperately to get loose even without seeing who it was that was holding him. 

As he opened his eyes and was about to try to scream out loud, he saw as best he could and discovered his friend Thomas approaching in front of him, his index finger in front of his mouth indicating a gesture of silence.    

Thomas pulled his hand away, indicating to Andrew to follow him. 

As soon as he stepped out of the cell, Andrew saw two strangers standing next to Thomas, who should be from the group that imprisoned them today. But before he could ask, Thomas pulled him aside and whispered in a very low voice, "Don't do anything stupid. These two people saved me, you have to get out of this place first and then we'll explain." 

After speaking, Merle motioned for the two to follow him and then walked to the other side of the unit. 

Under Merle's guidance, several people easily avoided the guards guarding the prison at night and made it to the gate, but saw a figure standing in the RV parked at the gate and quickly lay down on the ground. 

Fortunately, it was midnight and vision was very poor. In the moonlight, they could vaguely make out the general outline of the person on the roof. 

"It's Daryl, I'll take care of him, don't move!" Merle pulled out a pistol with a silencer in the waistband and pulled the trigger on the figure on the roof of the car. 

"Bang!" 

With the sound of the shot, Daryl who was standing on the roof of VR fell to the ground with a thud. 

"Boom!" 

Merle signaled and the four walked to the prison door without hesitation. Shane opened the door all the way and his sinister laugh came out of his mouth. 

"Hey, don't close the door, let's go!" 

Thomas and Andrew didn't know that the moment they entered the forest and disappeared, a person suddenly came out from behind the modified RV. 

Walking towards the door and closing it, Daryl spat in the direction of the few people who came out, cursing and whispering, "You two bastards! You deserve it!" 

... 

In the woods, Shane and Merle along with the prisoners ran to a slightly clear spot, both slowed down and stopped to look at the two following close behind. 

"Damn! This was something really crazy, we'll definitely get even with those bastards for treating us like garbage!" shouted Andrew with a gasp. 

"The time will come when we'll get our revenge, we have to find shelter for now." Thomas smiled with a cold expression and looked at Merle, "Friends, I will definitely be eternally grateful for your help today." 

"Hahaha, if I were you I wouldn't be thankful so soon..." Merle turned around and lit a lamp. 

Originally, these two people were going to be killed without much effort, but they had to really look for what their intentions were once they left the prison. Hearing Andrew and Thomas' words, Shane no longer hesitated. 

"What's wrong?" Thomas sensed that something wasn't right so he slowly backed away. 

But he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped back, a deep voice came from behind him, expanding a strange feeling. 

"I'm definitely a very fair person, aren't I?" 

Thomas and Andrew turned around, under the light of the strong flashlight, they could see a figure in a black tactical uniform coming out from between the trees. 

When he looked at Airon approaching calmly, Andrew immediately yelled out trying to understand the situation, "What the hell is this?" 

Airon's sobriety brought them many thoughts, and also let them know that this was all a trap, and they immediately tried to figure out what the other party was looking for with this kind of childish game. 

Hearing the words of these people, Airon immediately stopped his movements, turned his head and looked at those two people who had an expression full of terror, but ignored this and walked close to them. 

Ignoring the others, Thomas looked at Airon with anger, took a deep breath, tried to control his fury, looked at Airon, who was slowly approaching and asked: "You are going to kill us right? Damn, I never thought you would play with my life like this just before I die." 

Then Andrew looked at the gun in Airon's hands and said, "Why are you doing this to us? We definitely haven't done anything wrong to you, we can be useful." 

"The reason you are not dead now and why we are having this conversation is because I am a righteous man. I ordered your death, but believe me I thought long and hard about it and deduced that because I ordered it, I should be the one to do it." 

Looking directly at Thomas and Andrew, Airon holstered his weapon and pulled out two knives, threw them each to the ground in their direction. Even if he was determined to get rid of his enemies, he would be fair to them.

As he said that, he pulled out a knife and looked at those two as he said, "Come on, if you manage to eliminate me you can safely leave this place, you will have that privilege." 

"You're looking at us like idiots!" 

"I'll fucking kill you!" 

Thomas and Andrew raised their knives, both moved towards Airon with piercing eyes. Even if they died, they want to make sure to take Airon with them. 

For all this period of time these two people have lived being superior and acting far above people, now that someone came along and sees them as if they were trash, it made them grow an irreversible anger. Thomas and Andrew looked at each other and exchanged something in silence. 

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone held their breath slightly. Watching this explosive scene, their faces were full of adrenaline from cutting this person in front of them. 

Shane and Merle stood not far away with flashlights in their hands, they were on the lookout for any walkers to approach them before Airon took over these two people. 

Airon smiled slightly, his hand clenched the knife tightly and prepared to take on these two people. He didn't know how, but he had full confidence in his abilities. 

In the end, it was Andrew who took the initiative. Just now that he knew they would be killed, they should at least leave this person a souvenir. Even if the other party was armed, he had to try to leave him a wound. 

"Die you bastard!" 

With a loud roar, Andrew raised the knife in his hands and charged towards Airon, and Thomas beside him also rushed forward after lasting for a moment. 

Seeing the two running towards his direction, Airon showed no trace of fear, Airon raised his knife and slowly moved forward. 

Thomas and Andrew had taken lives before, both were experienced with that feeling, but so was Airon. 

In an instant, Airon reached out his left hand and struck Thomas' neck even before he tried to stab him. 

Andrew reached out his hand and slashed forward, the edge of his blade came close to Airon's neck and tried to kill him with a single cut. 

But these people have no combat experience, they all rely on their brute strength to advance and the knife to cut, none of them are really a threat to Airon. 

Quickly Airon changed his movements, after dodging Andrew's attack his left hand retracted and his knife which was held by his right hand slashed three times in Andrew's chest. 

Before even Andrew realized it was the end, Airon jumped back and launched a kick to his chest. The strong impact threw Andrew backwards, and in just an instant he had taken out one person. 

"First one's out..." Airon muttered in a cold voice. 

Moving his gaze to Thomas who was struggling to catch his breath, Airon walked towards his direction matter-of-factly. Thomas looked at Airon and said, "Dude, please let me go." 

Seeing this, Airon's expression showed clear surprise, he thought that in an equal fight the other party would face him to the end. But his thoughts were not far from the outcome, because Thomas' next move made him perk up. 

"Shs!" 

In an instant, Thomas moved his hand towards Airon and the knife tried to stab him once more without success. But the moment he wanted to strike again, a fist shot towards his eyes and he could do nothing but close his eyes. 

"Punch!" 

Shaking his fist, Airon looked at Thomas who was half unconscious on the ground so he sheathed his knife, walked a few steps towards Thomas crouched down and twisted his neck in one motion. 

Then, Merle and Shane walked over towards Airon and said, "That was fast, let's get out of this place before my legs freeze." 

"We have to make sure they don't become walkers." Airon waved his hands casually. 

"I got this." Shane walked over to the two corpses and shot them in the head. 

"Bang! Bang!" 

"Let's go." 

... 

After about ten minutes, Airon and the others returned to the prison door again. Daryl opened the door for the three of them. He really wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say when they arrived. 

"Bro, are you okay, I really thought I shot you just now, hahaha!" Merle's love for his brother may be sarcasm, but he just knew he could give his life for his brother's. 

"Get inside and stop talking shit." Daryl gave his brother a look of disgust, but ultimately not that he asked anything.

"Good job guys." Airon said as he walked away. 

"You two show your affection, I'm going back to sleep, I'm exhausted!" Shane touched his face and walked into the prison. 

"You three are tired now? I can kill dozens more walkers, let's go clean the outside hahaha!" Merle, who stood there, sarcastically scoffed, but seeing that everyone ignored him, he got bored and walked to his bed as well.
