The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 77 Prisoner Effect

Hannah first taught Zhou Nan how to cooperate for a while. After Zhou Nan understood and left, Hannah came to Diana and Lambert.

"You two both said that Leon's shooting was an accident and there was no possibility of anyone else ordering it. This is indeed possible."

After Hannah said this, Diana and Lambert breathed a sigh of relief, but Hannah's next words made their mood fall to the bottom.

Hannah paused before saying, "It looks like you're very happy?"

"But I want to tell you, you are happy too early!"

"What you say doesn't mean the truth of the matter!"

"Well, I'll separate you first, and then I'll ask you the same questions."

"If the two of you give different answers, it means you are lying, and I will send you straight to see God!"

"If your answers are exactly the same, then I will believe that you are both innocent. In that case, I can let you go directly."

"Don't doubt the authenticity, I mean what I say!"

Diana and Lambert became anxious when they heard this. They had only made a simple collusion in their testimony and it was impossible for them to have a unified statement on such detailed issues.

If their answers don't match, both of them will die, which is not in their interest, so neither of them agrees with Hannah's interrogation method.

As long as Hannah adopts this interrogation method, it is no different from sentencing them to death directly!

Before Diana and Lambert could speak, Hannah made an OK gesture with her hands behind her back, and then Hannah's walkie-talkie rang. This was what Hannah had deliberately told Zhou Nan to do.

Zhou Nan's voice came from the intercom: "Hannah, come over here, I have something to talk to you about!"

The volume of the intercom was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Lambert and Diana to hear clearly.

Then Hannah hurriedly left with Rick, leaving Lambert and Diana tied up there, staring at each other.

The departure of Hannah and Rick also created a space for Diana and Lambert to be alone, and the two took this opportunity to communicate in a low voice.

"Diana, you're a smart woman. I heard there's a saying in Dragon Country: 'If you have mud on your crotch, you're either dead or damned.' Even if you're innocent, do you think they'll believe you?"

After hearing Lambert's words, Diana realized that he was right, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

"Just listen to me, I can guarantee that both of us will be safe!" Lambert said again.

This aroused Diana's interest: "What do you think we should do?"

The time left for them was very short, and Hannah might be back soon. They didn't know what specific questions Hannah would ask next, so they couldn't communicate the detailed answers to the questions at all.

But the clever Lambert came up with an effective solution.

That is, they just need to insist on being vague about things, and not explain anything Hannah asks clearly, so this can be regarded as a disguised unified answer.

"So you must stick to this story, or we'll both die!" Lambert threatened Diana in a low voice.

Diana responded: "Don't worry, Lambert, I know what to do for my life!"

Before either of them could finish their conversation, Hannah and Rick came back, and Hannah got straight to the point.

"Zhou Nan just came to me. He's the boss here. He just told me that we're short of laborers here, and he suggested that one of you two stay."

"I originally didn't want to let people like you join the team, but since this is Zhou Nan's order, I have to obey."

"How about this, let's stick with the same method as before and question you separately, but this time we need to change the rules!"

"Whoever reports the other person's bad deeds first will be exempted from responsibility, while the person who speaks later will be executed!"

"It's fair and reasonable, right? You just need to be faster than the other party, and you can survive!"

The two seemed about to speak, but Hannah stopped them in time.

"Neither of you should speak now. If anyone speaks, I will execute him on the spot. If you want the other person to win, you can speak up!"

After saying this, both of them shut up. It was obvious that they still cared about their lives.

"Very good, I'll continue explaining the rules."

"After you separate, Rick will honk the car horn three times as a signal. After Rick honks the horn for the third time, you can speak up and report!"

Lambert and Diana actually understood Hannah's intention, but they only needed to keep silent and refuse to cooperate with Hannah to survive.

But once the other party is the first to betray you and tell you the bad things you have done, your end will definitely be death.

Diana and Lambert are now unsure whether their alliance is still as strong as it once was.

This was Hannah's conspiracy. Even though Lambert and Diana knew that Hannah had bad intentions, they had no choice but to betray each other in order to survive!

It is obviously not a wise decision to let your life be in the hands of others, and Lambert knows this very well.

Although Lambert knew that the other party might just be playing cat and mouse, Lambert would seize any possibility of exemption from responsibility, so he had to give Diana away!

Before leaving, Lambert and Diana looked at each other with encouraging eyes, as if to say I will not betray you.

Seeing the two people's expressions, Hannah sneered disdainfully.

It’s just like two people playing rock-paper-scissors. They both want to win, so they both use the most sincere words to ask the other to play rock, but they directly choose paper!

Hannah firmly believes that human nature is so dark.

Even if some people do have the brilliance of humanity, they are extremely rare, and Lambert and Diana clearly do not have it.

"Okay, Rick, go get in the car and get ready. I'll wave to you later and you can start honking the horn!"

Rick nodded and got on the cold storage truck. The horn of this truck was very low and would not attract a large number of zombies.

After making sure Diana and Lambert couldn't hear, Hannah whispered to Paul, "Paul, do me a favor!"

"No problem." Paul, who was watching from the side, accepted it happily. He also wanted to witness the magic of Hannah's psychological warfare!

Seeing Paul's agreement, Hannah instructed again, "I'll take Diana with me and record her confession. You'll be in charge of Lambert. If he betrays the other party, you'll also record his confession!"

"Pay attention, you must walk slowly, and in the process you must use words to arouse his suspicion. You know what to do!"

Paul also nodded. It was nothing more than slandering Diana in front of Lambert. He knew what he should do.

Hannah is very meticulous in her work. She was afraid that some people in the team would not believe her, so in order to ensure the authenticity of the records, she specially selected two people to supervise the entire recording process between herself and Paul to ensure the authenticity of the confession.

So Diana and Lambert stopped only after Hannah and Paul were taken to different places and ensured that they could not communicate with each other.

On the way, Hannah said to Diana, "Actually, I prefer you to survive. You're beautiful, under 30, and in your prime. It's a pity to die like this!"

"Rick said Lambert is the deputy sheriff, right? Just think about how he treats you. He'll definitely sell you out. But, all you have to do is tell him everything he's done, and you can live!"

"There's no such thing as a moral sense. You just need to get ahead of him and tell the truth. After all, survival is the most important thing, don't you think, Diana?"

Diana turned her head to look at Lambert, only to see Lambert in the distance with his back to her, nodding and bowing to Paul from time to time.

Diana's confused eyes became much firmer. Then Diana turned around and nodded at Hannah: "I know what to do!"

Hannah also put her arm around her shoulders: "That's right, you made a wise choice!"

Paul was still communicating with Lambert.

"Lambert, you've already become a deputy sheriff in your thirties. You have a bright future ahead of you. Very few people can achieve this. This proves that you are no ordinary person. It would be a shame if you died!"

"To be honest with you, if the two of you keep silent, Hannah will find a way to make you speak. Besides, I think Diana's life is not as important as yours, don't you think, Sheriff Lambert?"

Lambert looked back at Diana and saw Hannah's hand on Diana's shoulder. A strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart!

"Look at the way she's hooking her arms around me. This bitch is definitely going to betray me. I'm going to tell you all the shit you've done. Go to hell, bitch!"

Lambert wanted to betray Diana from the very beginning, and now he has found a way out for himself.

After both parties stood still, Hannah raised her hands and waved at Rick.

Rick received the signal and followed the agreement, he started honking the horn.

"Drip~"

After the first horn, there was a long interval before the second horn was pressed.

Some zombies heard the noise and walked towards Zhou Nan's convoy, and were then quickly eliminated by everyone.

"Drip~"

This is the second sound.

Diana and Lambert became even more nervous, their hands clasped tightly together, and they both wanted to expose each other the moment the third sound came!

This time, Rick paused longer between honking the horn, and Diana and Lambert felt like the days were passing by like years.
