Chapter 138: Chapter 141 Sheepfold
"Carl."
Carl nodded, "Are you okay?"
Sean frowned slightly, but still nodded, "There is still one area left to be cleaned in the prison area. We will clean it up tomorrow and check it again afterwards. It should be fine."
Carl nodded and shifted his gaze to the man next to Sean.
He was wearing a vest and prison uniform, with braids, and looked to be of Mexican descent, probably in his thirties. He was not very strong, but looked quite lean.
Very similar, very similar to Carl's impression.
Thomas, Carl had a deep impression of him. He was a ruthless person and could be considered a talent even nowadays.
Next came Andrew, a short black man, Oscar, a stronger black mechanic, and Axel, a man with long blond hair and a big beard.
"There's a child in your team?" Thomas looked at Sean in disbelief.
Sean nodded and asked Pete and Zack to fetch water, and the brothers Brent and Brandy, as well as Querry and Andrea to collect some firewood.
Daryl frowned slightly as he looked at the prisoners, seeming to want to say something but hesitated. In the end, he said nothing. He didn't say anything now.
Sean said to several prisoners led by Thomas, "I remember you said you wanted to join us."
"Of course, we'd like to join you. We need to stick together and keep each other warm." Axel said urgently.
"Didn't you agree?" Thomas narrowed his eyes slightly.
Andrew nodded, half a step behind Thomas, right beside him.
Oscar was a little distracted and didn't respond. I don't know what he was thinking about.
Sean looked at Thomas and said, "I mean we need to observe you first. During this time, you can stay with us temporarily. It seems that your memory is not very good?"
Moore curled his lips. He could tell the character of these people at a glance. In fact, as early as in the prison area, Moore told Sean that it would be best to find an opportunity to kill Thomas.
Thomas is obviously the boss among these people. Kill the boss first, and then you can consider recruiting the others.
But Sean refused.
"Haha, isn't it almost the same? What do you think now, boss?" Thomas forced a smile.
Sean hesitated for a moment, then said, "You guys enter your information first. Carl will ask you some questions, and you have to answer truthfully."
"Karl?" Thomas was stunned.
"Well, my name is Carl." Carl smiled.
"Are you kidding me?" Thomas looked at Sean in disbelief. "You let a kid interrogate us? Damn, will we be interrogated less here?"
"Well, there's really no need to ask any questions." Carl didn't know much about these four people, but not too little either. If he continued to ask, it would be difficult to verify whether the questions were true or false.
Sean looked at Carl in surprise, but nodded slightly, then looked at Thomas with a warning tone;
"You can follow us temporarily, but you also need to work for us. At the same time, you must obey the arrangements. I also hope that you can be honest."
"We have always been very honest." Thomas spread his hands and smiled, then looked at Andrew, "Isn't it?"
"Indeed," Andrew agreed.
Karl said calmly, "I don't know if you understand the situation now. If you don't want to live under someone else's roof, you can leave the prison. We won't stop you."
"Hey, kid, this is our prison. It's time for you to leave." Thomas said in a bad tone.
"The sheepfold never belongs to the sheep. Even if the owner of the sheepfold dies accidentally, the sheepfold will only change its owner and will never belong to the sheep.
So, now we are the masters here." Carl said lightly.
"Sean, you should take care of this brat. You should teach him how to be a good and obedient child instead of saying these childish, bandit-like, self-righteous words."
Thomas suppressed his anger and stared at Sean unhappily.
Sean narrowed his eyes and stared directly at Thomas, not backing down at all, a dangerous gleam brewing;
"Karl's meaning is what I mean. I just told you that if you want to stay, you must abide by the rules. It seems that your memory is really not good."
"Of course, sorry, I'll pay attention." Thomas smiled.
"Thomas, has anyone ever told you that your disguise is bad? Your resentment is all written on your face." Carl spoke again, with the purpose of provoking Thomas' anger.
"Kid, stop talking nonsense, okay? Has anyone told you that you're annoying?" Thomas continued to suppress his anger.
"Thomas, do you know the difference between a leader and a boss?" Carl said.
Thomas narrowed his eyes and said nothing. Sean stared at Thomas and Andrew to prevent any accidents. Daryl did the same.
Moore became interested and looked at Carl with interest.
Axel pulled Oscar's clothes. The atmosphere was wrong. Axel wanted to step back, but he was not sure.
Compared to these sudden outsiders, Thomas is more familiar with them, and they have not yet fallen out.
Carl didn't care that no one answered and continued to speak;
"Thomas, if you are not completely stupid, you should understand the current situation of the world. It is the end of the world, order is falling apart, the dead are resurrected, and the living are fighting for survival.
Axel is right. In this situation, we should stick together for warmth. If you are not extremely stupid, you will not think that you can survive in the outside world.We have more people than just these. We are just the vanguard to clean out the prison, and others will move in later.
You now have only two choices to survive: join us sincerely, or try your luck outside, but the probability of survival in the latter case is less than 10%."
"I've already said we'd like to join you," Thomas said.
Karl nodded and continued, "I know you said that, but I want sincerity, I'm not afraid of you being smart, I'm just afraid of you being stupid.
A smart person knows what he should and should not do, while a fool easily does things that he should not do, even if doing so will cause more harm than good, but he will not think about it.
I tell you this for a very simple reason. You are not cut out to be a boss. If you weren't so stupid, you would probably have some idea of this.
And no one should know better than yourself what kind of person you are. You cannot be the boss of a camp, and even if there are other camps, they will not accept a prisoner, a murderer.
Don't be distracted, listen to me, listen carefully, and then you should think carefully after listening.
In short, if you don't want to live under someone else's roof, you can leave and look for a glimmer of hope. If you want to stay, don't do anything tricky, because if something unexpected happens, you will be buried with it.
Unless you can kill us all, but if you have that ability, perhaps you wouldn't be trapped for so long.
So, don't seek your own death, okay? If you join us, as long as you are sincere, even if you can't be the boss, being a leader or something is not bad.
Well, that's all, now you can think."
