Chapter 17: I Can Please You, But I Have a Condition
"Darlene! Are you really going to be so selfish?" Terry's eyes turned cold as he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, speaking in a chilling tone: "Originally, we had enough water to last a few more days! But because of you, taking advantage of Digby's protection, you even secretly used the water we saved from drinking urine to wash your face! Let me tell you, our storage is now completely out of water. If Alex doesn't give us water, then you go out and find water for us!" N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
"So that's what happened! I was wondering why, when we first arrived, there were several bottles of mineral water, and now it turns out you used it to wash your face! Damn it, we've been drinking urine to save water, and you used it to wash your face, you wretch!"
One of the female students beside Darlene slapped her fiercely, cursing in uncontrollable anger.
A male student sneered coldly: "Since Darlene is unwilling to accompany Alex, we can probably only live for two or three more days. Anyway, we're all going to die, so why not drag Darlene over there and have our fun first. Before we die, let's taste what the school's beauty is like!"
Darlene kept backing away, her face growing paler. She looked back at the unconscious Digby, a flicker of guilt in her eyes, then burst out in desperation: "Alex! I'll accompany you, but I have a condition! If I do this, you must save me and Digby!"
"Hmm? Such a loving couple! How touching. Is this some kind of tragic love story? Are we in a movie or something? Heh." Alex sneered disdainfully, turning his head to look at Darlene: "But, are you negotiating terms with me? Do you think you're in a position to? Sorry, I'm not a sycophant, and I'm not moved at all. I'm only offering you a chance for a trade. If I'm pleased, I'll give you the food and water. If I'm not, the deal is off. There are no other terms to discuss."
Darlene's face suddenly turned red, a mix of anger, shame, and unwillingness flashing across her features. She turned to look at the ferocious crowd behind her, then made up her mind.
With a "thud," Darlene knelt in front of Alex: "Alex, I can serve you, but... can you make these disgusting people not watch?"
Alex gave a cold smile and looked up at Terry and the others. Terry's eyes brightened. He quickly grinned and nodded obsequiously at Alex, then turned to the crowd behind him, "Turn your heads away, all of you! Anyone who dares to peek will have their eyes gouged out! You two girls, go get a cloth and set up a screen for Alex and Miss Ling!"
Then, looking at Digby, recalling Alex's previous question, a vicious look flashed in Terry's eyes. He sneered at a few boys, "Tie Digby up and wake him up! Let him see how his girlfriend Miss Ling serves Alex! Consider it his chance for redemption!"
