103 Burn Them and Then Clean up the Mess

Listening to the man’s incoherent words, Du Yue knew he regarded her as a man. Du Yue’s height was nearly 1.7 meters. Now that she was wearing thick-soled boots, she was at least 1.73 meters tall. In addition, the clothes she was wearing were dark in color, and the style was the most common. Her entire head was covered by a hat and mask. Besides, she was also decisive, so it was not surprising that she was mistaken to be a man.

He probably would not think that a woman could be so cruel.

He Xing had no reaction to the man’s words, and it was as if he was not interested in them at all. When the man saw him like this, he said anxiously again, “Hey, you haven’t had meat for a long time, right? We have a lot of meat in our base! Plenty!”

He Xing’s eyes lit up, but his expression did not change. “Do you have mutton?”

“Mutton… Yes, we do! But it’s from two-legged ‘goats’. The meat is much more delicious than normal mutton!”

“Where did you get it from?”

“A few days ago, wild animals attacked the resort and killed many people. After they left, we went to pick the bodies up! Since they were all dead anyway, there was no point in keeping them there. Instead of leaving them to be eaten by the wild beasts, it was better to bring them back to fill our own stomachs! All of us were born as humans, so it’s only right for us to help each other.”

Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, Du Yue pulled the trigger and shot him in the head. Du Yue’s eyes were filled with an unprecedented bone-chilling coldness. She looked at the corpses on the ground and hated herself for letting them die too easily. They actually ate their own kind. They could no longer be considered humans. They were more like beasts than those wild beasts that hurt people. Death would be too easy on them.

“We have to get rid of the bodies,” He Xing said. It was not that he was kind enough to collect the bodies of these scumbags. It was just that they could not leave the bodies here and let others become like them. “We’ll burn them and then clean up the mess.” Du Yue turned around and went back to the car to get some gasoline. The two of them worked together to throw the bodies to the side of the road and poured some gasoline on them.

He Xing lit a match and threw it on the ground. It instantly started burning. The two of them did not just stand there and watch the fire. Instead, they cleared the roadblock. This roadblock was very simple and crude, even inferior to the iron nails scattered by the bald men before. However, they did not throw the things away. Instead, they put them in the car.

When Du Yue and He Xing drove off, the fire was still burning and would not stop anytime soon. If someone insisted on going into the fire to look for food, they would not be able to do anything about it. Everyone had their own choices, and there was a limit to what they could do.

The rest of the journey was very smooth, and they did not encounter any more accidents until they returned to the resort. As soon as they entered the resort’s gate, they saw a lot of cars parked in the parking lot. It seemed that Zuo Mingdong had returned earlier than them with the group of people that had gone out for the search and rescue.

Before He Xing could stop the car, he saw someone walking out of the lobby and looking in their direction. However, he only took a glance at them before turning around and returning to the lobby. As soon as the man went back, Zuo Mingdong came out with his men and strode toward their car.

“I have something to discuss with him. Do you want to come along?” He Xing turned to ask Du Yue.

She shook her head. “You can go.” Du Yue did not want to have too much contact with the base’s officials, so He Xing would have to go alone. He Xing opened the door and got out of the car. Zuo Mingdong had just walked to the side of the car.

As the two of them were standing face-to-face, Du Yue realized that He Xing was slightly taller than Zuo Mingdong. Their voices were not loud, but Du Yue could hear them clearly because she was standing close to them.

Just by listening to how familiar they were with each other, she knew that they had known each other for a long time. After some haggling, the price of the wild boars was one contribution point per 500 grams, and it was the same for the wolves. Zuo Mingdong arranged for his men to walk to a big truck. When they came back, they were actually carrying a scale in their hands. Du Yue wondered if Zuo Mingdong had already anticipated this situation. Otherwise, why would he have brought the scale?

The wild boars and wolves in the truck were carried out and weighed one by one. Finally, they were all loaded onto the truck. When He Xing returned to the car, he had a few cards in his hand. “These are the official contribution points cards. Each of them contains 1,000 contribution points, so there are 8,000 in total. When we get back to the base, we’ll go to the service hall and transfer the money to our own accounts.”

Du Yue took a card and looked at it carefully. The design of the card was very simple. The name of the base was printed on the top, as well as a simplified map of the base. There was a golden sun in the upper right corner and a number in the lower left corner. In comparison, the memory cards only had the sun in the upper right corner.
