#663 - Chapter 663 Self-planting
Just as Zhao Ling and Qin Jin were talking, the scene below the wall changed again!
It was unclear whether it was the surprise of seeing his father personally on stage, or the unexpected sight of him bypassing him to whisper with his mother, that caused Zhao Xin to shout again.
"You, Zhao!! Quickly find a way to save me!! I'm your own son!!! If I die, no one will carry on the Zhao family line!! Zhao Ling is over there!! Hurry and beg her for mercy!!!"
Ignoring the bloodstains from the ropes on his hands, and the wounds inflicted by the Green Source personnel, he shook violently in agony, yelling at his father, Zhao Zhigang!
He had just seen several figures walking out from the main base wall, including his cheap older sister, Zhao Ling!
There was hope!!
As long as someone begged her to speak, he would definitely have a chance to avoid dying in this execution!
Zhao Xin was very "clever"; he knew that this half-brother of his was not favored by her, but Zhao Zhigang was Zhao Ling's biological father after all!
His words would carry more weight!
His last chance of survival was here!
Hearing Zhao Xin's shout and seeing his gaze, Zhao Zhigang ignored his disrespectful words and turned to look towards the main base wall.
Sure enough, he saw Zhao Ling's figure.
And next to her was Qin Jin, the leader of Green Source, whom he had met once or twice!
The highest leader of Green Source had arrived!
Many people only realized this at this moment.
Everyone quieted down, silently watching the situation continue to unfold.
Would Zhao Zhigang beg for mercy from above and grant a reprieve?
Would Zhao Ling, this base cadre, really plead for her relatives?
Many people were curious about these questions.
Unfortunately, Zhao Zhigang did not beg Zhao Ling for mercy.
He looked deeply at his daughter on the wall, nodded at her, gave her a meaningful look, and then turned his gaze back to his wife, Zhu Fen.
No plea for mercy.
No final effort for his son, Zhao Xin.
It was unnecessary.
Let their family of three set off together neatly.
He shouldn't disturb this daughter whom he had owed so much.
Seeing his father's inaction, Zhao Xin panicked!
This old bastard!
How dare he mess things up at this time!?
Did he really want to watch his only son die before his eyes!?
Impossible!
He was his only heir, and although this Zhao family wasn't wealthy, he was indeed the Zhao family's only descendant, and should be given the best protection!!
"You--"
Zhao Xin wanted to say something, wanting to use words to awaken the protective instincts of his stupid old man, but Zhao Zhigang, whom he was staring at, had already made a move.
He turned around, picked up a small knife from the table where the execution tools were placed, and returned to his wife, Zhu Fen.
Staring into her eyes, interrupting her words as she seemed to want him to beg Zhao Ling for mercy, he spoke first:
"Fen, thank you for your efforts for this family, but we have failed in raising our children!"
"If there is a next life, I would be willing to be your husband again! We will definitely educate our children well!!"
His gaze was filled with longing and pain, and he lunged towards the person hanging in front!
In the main base, under Zhao Ling's complex gaze, and the surprised gazes of other Green Source personnel, as well as Zhao Xin's unbelievable stare.
Zhao Zhigang slashed Zhu Fen's neck!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!!!
Fresh blood sprayed wildly like it was free!
It splattered all over the execution platform, and all over Zhao Zhigang!
With this kind of injury, no one could survive!
He actually killed Zhu Fen on the spot!
As his wife's complex gaze gradually dimmed, Zhao Zhigang's complex and painful mood gradually calmed down.
It was done.
Then, it was his turn next......
"You--!!!"
If the "you" Zhao Xin had wanted to say before was filled with anger, then this "you" was filled with all his disbelief.
His mother was actually killed by his father!
He had originally wanted to continue persuading his father to beg for mercy for him, but he forgot about that and watched his mother gradually lose her life.
Gone.
That woman who had never refused his requests since he was a child, who had always been obedient and caring, was gone.
At this moment.
Zhao Xin suddenly felt like a corner of his heart was missing.
Foolish as he was, he realized at this moment that something extremely important to his life had left him.
"Huff--Huff--Huff--"
He gasped for breath, his eyes becoming increasingly red, and he looked at his father with a desperate gaze.
"Why!?"
He asked these three words.
He still didn't understand his father's actions.
Zhao Zhigang didn't turn his head to look at Zhao Xin, who was questioning him; his gaze remained fixed on his wife.
After confirming that her breath was cut off and there was no possibility of her continuing to suffer, he knew it was his turn.
Before those Green Source personnel could react.
He slashed the small knife, still stained with his wife's blood, across his own neck.
Without the slightest hesitation or pause, it was as if he had trained thousands of times, his movements were decisively appalling.
Large amounts of blood flowed from the wound he had created, and the strength in his body seemed to be flowing away with the blood.
Thump!
In less than three seconds, he lost the strength to stand and fell in front of his wife.
In his last moments, many scenes flashed through his mind.
There were scenes of himself as a child, not having enough to eat with his parents.
There were scenes of him starting a family with his first wife and having a daughter.
There were scenes of him divorcing later due to incompatible values and starting a new family with Zhu Fen, and having his current son.
And all the things that had happened in the past twenty years, like slides flashing before his eyes.
Finally, it froze on this execution platform in the apocalypse, where he personally ended his wife's and his own life.
He was tired.
Let it be like this.
If there is a next life, I might choose a simpler life.
His breath was cut off.
Zhao Zhigang died.
Before he died, he kept staring at the sky, as if looking at a non-existent future.
On the main base wall.
Zhao Ling covered her mouth in disbelief, her pupils dilated sharply, and Qin Jin quickly supported her to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Qin Jin had guessed that Zhao Ling's biological father might do this, but he was still a little surprised by how decisive he was.
He was a real man.
He didn't say anything to Zhao Ling; these things could be digested slowly.
In the apocalypse, people died all the time; you would get used to it after seeing it enough.
On the execution platform.
After Zhao Xin asked those three words, not only did he not receive an answer, but he was stunned again when he saw the person he called father commit suicide so decisively.
In this world, his parents, who had been with him since he was a child, left him before his eyes at almost the same time.
An unprecedented feeling filled his heart.
It was an unprecedented pain.
