Chapter 423: Pretending to Be Stupid
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone’s life was already hard enough, but there were always some people with evil intentions. They did not think about working hard to live a good life, but instead, they thought about how to snatch resources from the hands of the more miserable people every day. They even talked about the survival of the fittest. Even though Du Yue never wanted to be a savior, she could not help but get angry after hearing these ridiculous comments. Why did the leader of the fourth base do that? Well, she could investigate that later. Moreover, Guo Deyou’s words alone were not enough to make Du Yue and He Xing believe him. As for the truth, they would have to investigate it personally before they could determine things.
At the moment, Du Yue was more concerned about where Guo Deyou got those things. “Where did you get those things?”
Guo Deyou looked a little confused. “I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
At this point, he was still thinking of fishing in troubled waters. Du Yue had no patience to begin with. Seeing him like this, she became even more impatient.
Du Yue held a short knife and approached Guo Deyou step by step. “Are you pretending to be stupid? Alright, since you’re not telling the truth, I think there’s no use in keeping your tongue. I’ll cut it off for you now so that it won’t take up space in your mouth.” As she spoke, the dagger in Du Yue’s hand was already pointed at Guo Deyou’s face. There were also people lying on the ground nearby, and one could not even hear their breathing.
These people reminded Guo Deyou that Du Yue was a ruthless person. She would definitely do what she said. Seeing that the tip of the knife was getting closer and closer to him, Guo Deyou was so scared that he retreated repeatedly. His body lost its balance, and he fell directly to the ground. “Wait… Wait a minute! I’ll tell you!”
Du Yue lowered her eyes and looked down at Guo Deyou. “You’d better be quick. My patience is limited. Who knows when my knife will want to kill again?”
Guo Deyou lowered his head and nodded heavily a few times. “Okay, okay, okay! I’ll say it now! Those things were all snatched by us…” Guo Deyou mumbled. Suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze on his head, so he quickly spoke faster, “There are many rich people in the base. They don’t lack supplies or food.
“My brothers and I all feel that it’s unfair. Why should they eat and drinkwell while we can only eat coarse grains? We’re often hungry and can’t even eat our fill… So, we’d go and rob their houses…” Halfway through his sentence, Guo Deyou, who did not get any response, subconsciously looked up at Du Yue and saw that her face was gloomy as if she had lost her patience. With such a gaze, Guo Deyou did not dare to continue.
Du Yue sneered. How shameless. No matter how rich and resourceful others were, it had nothing to do with them. What right did they have to feel that it was unfair? Guo Deyou said that they often did not have enough to eat. Du Yue would never believe it. This person was really shameless to the extreme! All her questions were answered, and Du Yue did not waste any more time with Guo Deyou. He Xing’s attack had already crippled his right hand.
Du Yue did not hesitate to stab Guo Deyou again and cripple his left hand.
Both his hands were chopped off one after another. Guo Deyou fainted from the pain and lay unconscious on the ground. Just as Du Yue was about to leave, she saw a person walk out of the darkness. Under the dim street lights, Du Yue saw a slender figure slowly approaching. It was not until that person arrived that Du Yue saw that it was Xia Zhixing. Xia Zhixing looked at Guo Deyou who was lying on the ground and said to Du Yue, “Being soft-hearted is a disease. It will harm you sooner or later.”
Du Yue was speechless. Was she soft-hearted? Before Du Yue could speak, Xia Zhixing had already taken out a knife from her waist and walked toward Guo Deyou and the others.
In just a few minutes, a bloody scar appeared on everyone’s neck. Xia Zhixing killed them with one slash. Her movements were swift and without any hesitation. Du Yue looked at her, slightly stunned. After getting rid of the trouble on the ground, Xia Zhixing looked at Du Yue with disgust. “I thought you were a straightforward person who would distinguish between gratitude and resentment and never do things sloppily. But now, it seems that your heart is still too soft.
“Like these black-hearted people who bullied the weak…. If you let them off today, they’ll come to take revenge on you tomorrow and continue to pester you…”
