Du Yue laughed instead of being angry. “Since you’ve been observing me for a long time, you should know 1 attack if someone provokes me first. According to my logic, if you want to use me to kill someone for you, you’re the one scheming against me. Therefore, 1 should have killed you.” As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, the woman subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at Du Yue with fear in her eyes.
The reason why she wanted Du Yue to kill her husband for her was because of Du Yue’s decisive style and powerful martial strength. However, if she angered Du Yue and Du Yue used her martial strength on her… The woman was a little scared and even began to regret her recklessness. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have schemed against you, and 1 shouldn’t have pestered you.”
Seeing her like this, Du Yue did not want to waste her breath. She just said, “Before I go back on my word, take this man and go as far away from us as possible.”
The woman lowered her head and replied weakly, “Okay, okay. We’ll leave…”
Du Yue did not look at her again and turned to leave. After taking two steps, Du Yue suddenly turned around. The woman, who had been submissive just a moment ago, now had a dagger in her hand that was shining with a cold light. The tip of the dagger was facing Du Yue.
The woman’s eyes were filled with hatred, and the hand holding the knife was still trembling slightly. Du Yue pulled out the short knife at her waist and cut off the woman’s long hair in a flash. The woman’s messy long hair fell to the ground. She was so scared that she was trembling. Du Yue played with the short knife in her hand and finally said indifferently, “You’d better be glad you didn’t lift it up, or I’d have cut your throat instead.”
The woman trembled on the spot, unable to say a word. Du Yue turned around and left. This time, she did not stop and walked to He Xing’s side. “It’s okay now. Let’s go home.”
He Xing looked at the woman from afar and said gently, “Let’s go.”
Du Yue walked in front of He Xing and took the lead to enter the courtyard. He Xing followed closely behind. After entering the door, he turned around and closed the door.
The moment the door was about to close, a silver pistol appeared in He Xing’s hand. He pointed the gun at the woman not far away and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The bullet flew out and pierced the woman’s heart. He Xing’s actions were crisp and clean, without any hesitation. After seeing the woman fall to the ground, Du Yue shot the man on the ground. The man was already unconscious. After being shot, his body twitched, and he stopped moving.
Du Yue then looked at He Xing. “It’s fine to kill him.”
He Xing closed the door and turned to look at Du Yue. He saw that Du Yue was slightly stunned. He said gently, “For someone like her, even if you spare her life, she won’t be grateful to you at all. On the contrary, she’ll hate you even more. Since leaving her alive will be a disaster sooner or later, it’d be better to resolve it as soon as possible. Did I scare you?”
Du Yue shook her head. “How can I be scared so easily? You did the right thing.”
The reason why she was stunned was that she saw a man who was decisive in killing a second ago. The next second, she saw him asking her gently if she was scared. Her heart warmed, and she subconsciously looked at He Xing in a daze.
Du Yue and He Xing did not look at the couple who had stopped breathing. He Xing only sent a message to Zuo Mingdong and told him about the details of this matter. He Xing did not expect Zuo Mingdong to reply immediately when he sent the message. After all, it was already midnight. The other party replied almost immediately after receiving the message. Zuo Mingdong’s attitude was very simple. He told Du Yue and He Xing not to worry. He would arrange for someone to clean up the bodies.
The first base had changed drastically from two years ago. Life was getting harder and harder. People would do anything to survive. Almost every day, someone would die for various reasons. The luckier ones could still have intact corpses. If they were unlucky, by the time their corpses were found, they would have already become skeletons that could not be recognized.
In the beginning, most people would avoid dead bodies on the road or in the wild. They wanted to get as far away from them as possible, but as food became scarcer and scarcer, more and more people were starving. Everyone was no longer put off by corpses. Some people even started hallucinating from hunger. In order to survive, they would eat anything. Although some still stuck to their bottom line, they would not meddle in other people’s business and care about what others ate. Now, when they saw corpses on the road, most people were numb. They did not even bother to frown..
