Chapter 111 - 111 Wang Tong Is Dead



111 Wang Tong Is Dead

He Xing smiled at Du Yue. “My range hood is different from the usual ones. The smoke will dissipate on its own.”

Du Yue felt that she had never been so speechless in both her previous and current lives. “Don’t doubt me. I’ll give you one when we get back to the base. You’ll know when you use it,” He Xing said with a serious face.

He Xing gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart after he finished speaking. He had been struggling to find a reason to give Du Yue one, but he did not expect that he would be able to do it so smoothly today. He Xing was in a good mood and did not forget to flip the roasted hare over.

After roasting the meat for a while, the aroma of the roasted hare had already wafted out. Just the smell alone was enough to whet one’s appetite. Du Yue looked at He Xing. Although she could not see the expression on his face, she could tell that he was in a very happy mood just by looking at his curved eyebrows and eyes.

As she was looking at him, He Xing suddenly raised his head and met her gaze. He Xing lifted his chin at her. “Has your taste changed recently?”

“What?” Du Yue did not know what he was talking about. She looked down in the direction He Xing was pointing at and saw that her sweet potatoes were almost burnt. Du Yue quickly retracted her hand and took a closer look. Although the skin was a little black, it should not be a big problem.

They were roasted until they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They tasted very good. It was just that roasting them was a little tiring.

It was already 11 pm when the two of them finished eating the roasted hare and sweet potato. He Xing went out for a while and came back with a big rock in his arms. Du Yue looked at him in confusion. “What are you going to do with such a big rock?” He Xing closed the door and placed the big rock in front of it. “It’s to block the door. We can both go to sleep now. We’ll probably be able to return to the base tomorrow.” Having this big rock did not mean that it was definitely safe, but at least there was an added layer of protection.

If someone really wanted to force their way in, the two of them would be able to hear the sound and react in time. It was already very late, and the two of them fell asleep by the fire while leaning against their mountaineering bags. So many things happened in the first half of the night. Now, in the second half of the night, the entire resort fell into silence.

The two of them slept until dawn, and their originally exhausted bodies had mostly recovered. After waking up, the two of them boiled some water and washed up before having breakfast. He Xing asked Du Yue to wait for him while he went to the lobby to take a look. Du Yue nodded. She stayed in the room and stood at the door, looking out.

The snow outside seemed to have gotten lighter. The fine snowflakes were not even in full shape, and they looked more like ice shards falling down. The wind blowing on their faces hurt more than the snow. If they could return to the base today, that would be the best. They had been away for two days. During this time, it was inconvenient for them to get food, clothes, and lodging. Du Yue was already starting to miss her warm and comfortable bed.

Just as Du Yue was about to close the door, she saw a person walking out of the lobby. As they were not far away from one another, Du Yue could see clearly that the man was staring at her with a look of hatred. Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. Looking at that person’s figure and height, it should not be Wang Tong or Qi Qi. Who could it be?

Du Yue’s confusion only lasted for a moment. She quickly retracted her gaze, closed the door, and turned to enter the room. No matter who that person was, she did not care. If that person really wanted to do something to harm her, she would just kill him. Not long after, He Xing strode back with two pieces of news. “Pack your things. We’ll return to the base in a while. Captain Zuo said that although not all of the missions were completed, there have been many casualties, so we should return to the base first. Oh right, there’s one more thing. Wang Tong died last night.”

“Wang Tong? What does her death have to do with me?” If it was not for Zuo Mingdong’s presence yesterday, she would definitely not have been merciful. However, she did not hear any movement after midnight yesterday. How did she die?

He Xing frowned. “She peed in her pants yesterday and her legs got frozen to her pants. She got frostbite. They probably didn’t take her condition seriously. When everyone woke up this morning, they found that she was no longer breathing.”

“So that’s how it is.” Du Yue nodded. Her heart skipped a beat when she thought of the person who was staring at her earlier. “Are there a few other people who live on the sixth floor with her?”

“Yes, there are three men and three women staying in that unit. One of them is called Zhang Zhifeng. He’s always with Wang Tong.” Du Yue understood the situation when she heard this. The person who had stood at the entrance of the lobby and stared at her with hatred must have been Zhang Zhifeng.
