220 I Understand That She Doesn’t Mean What She Says

The short-haired woman said hesitantly, “After we find the truck, where should we go to find you? We’d like to arrange where we should meet up later… The fog is thick outside. We’re worried we’ll get separated from you.”

Du Yue could understand her worries. “There’s no need to go through all that trouble. We’ll go with you to find the truck before we set off.”

After getting Du Yue’s promise, the short-haired woman heaved a sigh of relief and led the group to find the truck.

The parking lot was less than a kilometer away from the exit of the underground city. All the cars were parked there, and it did not take long to walk there. After walking for less than 20 minutes, they arrived at the simple parking lot. As the short-haired woman had said, there were many cars parked here. There were trucks, vans, buses, and some small cars. When they were in the underground city, Du Yue had made a rough estimate. There were about a hundred people who had survived. Fortunately, there were quite a few cars here. Otherwise, they really would not be able to transport more than a hundred people.

Du Yue thought of something and asked the short-haired woman, “Don’t you have anything you want to take with you? For example, food.”

The man was dead, and there were no other survivors in the underground city. Why were they not searching for any supplies? When the short-haired woman heard Du Yue’s question, she was silent for a moment before she replied in a hoarse voice, “There’s nothing to take away. We’re the food.” The moment she said that, the atmosphere instantly became heavy.

Du Yue felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing. After a few seconds, she spoke again, her voice a little low. “Then, let’s go!”

The short-haired woman nodded quietly and gave the keys to the people behind her. She then led them to the cars. Du Yue and He Xing turned around and walked toward the main road after they got into their cars.

If they followed this road, they would reach the side of the road where they had parked their car. The two of them walked in front at a slow pace. The few cars behind them naturally could not speed up, but none of them urged them. They just followed silently. After walking for more than ten minutes, Du Yue and He Xing saw their car parked by the side of the road.

The two of them got into the car, fastened their seat belts, and honked at the cars behind them. Then, they started the car and set off. They were the only two people in the car. He Xing asked Du Yue, “Why do you want to bring them back?”

Du Yue shook her head. “It’s not that I’m bringing them back. It’s just that we’re going back to the base, and they’re following us.”

He Xing chuckled at Du Yue’s words but did not expose her. It had been a few years since the first time they met. He Xing knew better than anyone what kind of person Du Yue was. He Xing could understand her, regardless of whether she was lying or being soft-hearted.

He Xing’s car was at the forefront, and the other cars were following behind at a moderate distance. Du Yue and He Xing had a short discussion and decided to rush back to the base without stopping to rest. They were aware that those people were starving and weak. Fortunately, they had cleared all the obstacles on the road before they set off. Now that there were no more obstacles on the way back, their speed was much faster than before. At this speed, they would probably reach the base before dark.

With so many cars on the road, it was inevitable that they would make some noise. The people who had left the underground city to search for survivors in the city noticed the commotion and gathered around. He Xing had no intention of stopping the car even though he was in the middle of the road. These people, as that man’s subordinates, had all helped him to do evil, burn, kill, and plunder. All of them deserved to die.

As the cars were not moving very fast, the people who were in the middle of the road all moved to the side before the car hit them. Since they did not manage to kill them, Du Yue pulled the trigger and gave them a quick death. The first time they met, they were discussing how to burn, kill, pillage, and bully their own people in the city. Du Yue felt that she had let them off lightly by shooting them in the head.

The remaining survivors were hiding in the thick fog. After seeing this scene, they did not dare to appear again. Du Yue and He Xing continued to drive forward. If these people dared to show their faces, they would send them to meet that bullsh*t king. If they did not show up, then they would let them struggle at death’s door for a few more days. Anyway, when they returned to the base, they would tell Zuo Mingdong about the situation here, and Zuo Mingdong would send people to clean them up.
