176 We Only Want Food and Water
The three people lying on the ground were dressed in camouflage. Although they had already fainted, they were still breathing, so they were clearly still alive. There were a total of three men and three women standing around them, making a total of six people. At this moment, those people were desperately stuffing food into their mouths without the slightest vigilance. The food was probably taken from the three people who had fallen.
These six people were all dressed in tattered clothes, and their hair was also all matted together. It seemed that they had not washed up in a long time. Even when Du Yue and He Xing suddenly appeared, they continued to chew even when looking at them with vigilance. It seemed that they had been hungry for a long time.
These people were not only pale but also very thin. All of them were so thin that they were almost skin and bones. There was no flesh on their faces, and their eye sockets were so thin that they had sunken in. They looked a little scary. Even though their mouths were stuffed with food and they were about to vomit, they still kept stuffing food into their mouths and chewing strenuously. Even when they were choked to the point that their eyes were rolling back, they did not relax their mouths for fear that the food would spill out. As they were too thin, each of them looked like a big-headed baby. Their bodies were thin, as if they could not support their heads and cause them to fall at any time.
Although their faces were covered in dust, one could still see that there was not a trace of blood in their pale faces. They were pale because they had not been exposed to the sun for a long time. Du Yue and He Xing were also pale because they had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.
Even in the face of these six people, Du Yue did not let her guard down. This was because Du Yue had lived among such a group of people in her previous life. One should not look at how thin and weak they were and that they probably could not even stand in the wind. Once they went crazy, their strength was terrifying. Once one lets their guard down, one would be robbed of one’s supplies. However, those who were robbed were considered lucky. Some people were even crazy enough to kill.
Fortunately, the situation in front of them was not that serious. They had only knocked the base’s officials out and taken their food. They did not take their lives. Such a confrontation was obviously meaningless. Du Yue knocked her gun on the pickup truck a few times, making a loud noise.
There were 12 of them, double the number of the other side, and they were all armed. There should be no more accidents. Du Yue and He Xing put away their guns and prepared to leave. However, before they could take a step, they heard muffled footsteps approaching them. In a short while, hundreds of people surrounded the pickup.
Two minutes later, Du Yue heard urgent footsteps. It was a few other patrolling teams who had heard the noise and rushed over. When the 12 officials arrived and saw the three lying on the ground, they knew what had happened without Du Yue and He Xing explaining the situation to them.
There were twelve of them, double the number of the other side, and they were all armed. There should be no more accidents. Du Yue and He Xing put away their guns and prepared to leave. However, before they could take a step, they heard muffled footsteps approaching them. In a short while, hundreds of people surrounded the pickup. The clothes of these people were almost the same. They were tattered and dirty. At a glance, it was impossible to distinguish between men and women.
“You’re the survivors of the city? We’re here to rescue you and bring you back to the base. How many people do you have? Go back and inform everyone to pack up your things. We’ll be taking you back in about an hour.” The one who spoke was a young man standing beside Du Yue. His name was Lu Lin. He was Zuo Mingdong’s subordinate and always followed him on missions, so Du Yue knew him.
One of them took a step closer. “If you don’t want to get hurt, give us your food and water!” His voice was low and hoarse, and he looked a little thin and weak. The person who stepped forward to negotiate at this time must be the leader of their group. Du Yue looked at him and could see a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. The aura he exuded was also different from the others.
“We’re not going to your stupid base! We only want food and water! Hurry up and give us the things, and we’ll let you go!”
“Right!”
“If you don’t give us what we want, none of you can leave!”
“Leave all the cars behind! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
“Don’t say so much to them, it’s no use. Look at how they’re all dressed up and how comfortable their lives are. How can they understand how difficult our lives are?! We should take all their supplies! Let’s have them experience what kind of life we’re living every day!”
