The Walking Dead TWD

On Interstate 85, a heavily modified fire truck was driving on the road, with Zhou Nan and his group sitting inside.

Their target was the CDC.

Rick was sitting in the driver's seat, driving the car while the others were talking and laughing. The scene didn't seem like they were in the end of the world, but rather like they were on vacation.

Suddenly, Rick's voice rang out: "Zhou Nan! Come and see."

"I think we should meet a living person!"

Rick's voice attracted Zhou Nan's attention.

Zhou Nan quickly stood up and saw a tall white man walking on the side of the road with a large backpack on his back. He was holding a long stick in his hand, and a piece of plasterboard was vaguely visible in the package.

Zhou Nan was also stunned when he saw it. Isn’t this Morgan’s master Eastman!

But Zhou Nan carefully followed the timeline and suddenly felt that it was quite reasonable.

This Eastman should have killed Clayton Dallas Wilton by now, but Clayton's death did not bring peace to Eastman, but instead made Eastman feel remorse.

So Eastman chose to surrender himself in Atlanta.

As Eastman drives into town, he discovers the world has been destroyed without his knowledge.

He has been living in isolation.

This is because Eastman starved Clayton Dallas Wilton in an iron cage at home for a full 47 days, so it is normal that Eastman has no idea about the situation outside!

Eastman later came to the home and cut away a section of the drywall.

There was a picture drawn by his daughter on the slate, and he planned to take the picture back to his cabin, but then Eastman lost his car, so he decided to walk through the land full of zombies.

But he happened to meet Zhou Nan on the road.

If it weren't for Zhou Nan, he would have walked more than 30 miles back to his cabin.

Zhou Nan and his team's fire truck slowly stopped in front of Eastman. Seeing this, Eastman tightened the long stick in his hand.

From Eastman's perspective, the fire truck was covered in zombies' blood, and the boards were dotted with bullet holes.

Just standing in front of this car, the terrifying bloody smell will hit you in the face, which is really chilling!

Then Eastman saw Zhou Nan and his group of people wearing police uniforms get out of the car and come to him.

They were men and women, all armed with guns.

Eastman was stunned. The police officer he had been looking for actually appeared in front of him.

"I want to surrender!"

After Eastman finished speaking, he quickly threw away the long stick in his hand and knelt on the ground and said.

"Officers, I've committed murder, please arrest me!"

Zhou Nan looked at his police uniform and understood what had happened. It turned out that it was because of the police uniforms they changed into at the police station that led to Eastman's misunderstanding.

Zhou Nan winked at Rick. Because Zhou Nan and the others were imposters, Rick had to stand up at this moment.

Rick motioned Eastman to get in the car and talk: "We'll talk about the murder later. For now, you just need to get in the car because it's too dangerous outside!"

Eastman looked around.

The noise of the fire truck attracted some zombies, and they really couldn't stay outside for long at this moment.

Eastman did not bring his long stick weapon into the car. Since he had decided to be arrested, he still cooperated with Zhou Nan and his group of fake police officers.

Zhou Nan shook his head, picked up Eastman's long stick and handed it to Eastman.

Zhou Nan didn't dare to do this to other people who had force, but he was very confident about Eastman.

This man would never hurt himself because Eastman is a giant Madonna!

Rick didn't drive this time. Morgan drove instead, and he was responsible for questioning Eastman.

Before Rick could speak, Eastman took the lead in explaining what he had done, because he had a police friend and knew the process very well.

Looking at the curious eyes of the people around him, Eastman explained: "My name is Eastman. I used to be a forensic doctor. I worked in the prison system to evaluate mental patients."

Everyone then realized that their major was indeed suitable, but the role had changed from an appraiser to a murderer. Such a big contrast also aroused everyone's curiosity.

"By simply observing your body movements, I think you're a very stable person. Why would you choose to kill someone?"

Hannah was able to easily discern Eastman's personality through his actions. He didn't seem to have any negative behaviors such as mania, which confused Hannah.

Eastman looked at Hannah in surprise. He didn't expect that he would meet a "colleague" here. Hannah mainly studied criminal psychology, and he mainly studied psychiatry. Although their relationship was a bit distant, they were both studying psychology after all.

Eastman gathered his thoughts before answering, "In my career, I've interviewed over 825 criminals who were driven to crime by family misfortunes or simply out of necessity."

"I think they are all redeemable and worthy of forgiveness, but of these people, I think the only truly evil one is Clayton!"

"He doesn't deserve to be forgiven at all!"

Kelly asked curiously, "Is Clayton a pervert?"

Eastman nodded in agreement. "He's a model prisoner in the eyes of the prison staff, but I see through him for what he really is!"

"He's a vicious, manipulative psychopath, and I was the one questioning him at Clayton's parole hearing."

"Through my constant questioning, Clayton realized that I had seen through his disguise. He became enraged and tried to kill me."

"Thanks to my Aikido training, I was able to easily defeat Clayton. This happened, and since then, Clayton has been considered unfit for release."

"But he escaped from prison!"

Eastman's voice choked a little when he said this, and Hannah also asked: "So, he took revenge on you?"

Eastman nodded. "Yes, my wife and children were killed by Clayton."

"What happened next? Was he punished?" Everyone looked furious, but although Eastman was sad, he did not feel angry.

"No, for some reason he escaped the punishment of the law and was not sentenced to death."

"But just because the law doesn't judge him doesn't mean I won't judge him!"

"Later, I kidnapped Clayton from prison and imprisoned him in a makeshift iron cell in my cabin."

"I only give him a little food every day, making sure he's as hungry as possible while still maintaining his life!"

"Clayton was able to beg for mercy from me at first, but I knew it was just a facade, so I rejected him."

"Maybe it was hunger, maybe it was fear of death, but he finally repented, but I still rejected him. He persisted for 47 days before I starved him to death!"

"But after killing him, I didn't feel at peace. I regret it!" Eastman fell into deep thought after saying this.

Not only him, but everyone fell into deep thought. Shouldn't everyone be ecstatic after taking revenge? Why did Eastman regret it?

Zhou Nan also shook his head helplessly. Everyone said that Eastman was a typical saint, but he didn't expect that he was almost hopeless.

Faced with the criminals who killed his family, Eastman chose to regret after taking revenge. If this isn't sainthood, what is?

If Zhou Nan encountered such a thing, executing him by slow slicing would be the greatest mercy. Keeping him alive and torturing him for the rest of his life would be the most satisfying.

Hannah stood up at this moment and shared her experience with Eastman: "You just need to find a goal to get rid of this kind of thinking!"

"I've also encountered some pretty bad things. After I succeeded in my revenge, I ended up in the same situation as you. I've always been driven by revenge, but suddenly I lost my goal and became completely lost."

Eastman disagreed with Hannah's point of view: "No, it is wrong to fight violence with violence. Every life is precious!"

Zhou Nan just felt a headache just talking to such a person. This Eastman will definitely be able to burn out relics after his death!

The Aikido used by Eastman for training emphasizes harmony, non-violence and personal growth. Due to these factors, Eastman's thinking has been solidified, and it is extremely difficult to change his thinking in a short period of time.

"So, Eastman, where are you going next?" Zhou Nan asked directly.

"What's your plan next? Aren't you going to arrest me?" Eastman didn't quite understand what Zhou Nan said.

"Why arrest you?" Zhou Nan asked back.

"Isn't the murderer worth arresting?" Eastman was really confused.

"See those zombies out there? Things have changed, Eastman!"

"Everyone is facing two most important things right now."

"The first is to survive these zombies, and the second is how to survive!"

"No one cares what you did before!"

"We won't arrest you, so what are you going to do next?" Zhou Nan asked the same question again.

Eastman thought carefully for a moment before answering, "If you don't intend to arrest me, I think I'll go back to my cabin, grow some vegetables, raise some milk-producing livestock, practice martial arts, and read a few books."

"That's a good idea." Zhou Nan nodded in response, then changed the subject and said, "But I know a place that's very suitable for your kind of retirement life."

Eastman smiled and said, "Retirement life? It does seem very appropriate, but where is the place you are talking about?"

Zhou Nan didn't intend to let go of a powerful saint like Eastman, but he also didn't intend to force him to fight. He just wanted to tie him up by his side and keep him under his nose.

Because Eastman's Aikido is indeed a pretty good self-defense technique, and perhaps it can be used by the team.

And if the day comes when Eastman wakes up, perhaps Eastman can become the backbone of their team.

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan took out the map and pointed to the prison area.

"It's right here. There are enough safe places there for you to farm and raise livestock."
