Chapter 144: Mutually Beneficial Relationship



Recalling those days, Yao Ran licked her canine teeth and felt the urge to kill almost take over her sanity. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before she lost control.

After spending two years as an experimental subject in the laboratory, Yao Ran found it difficult to stay sane whenever her feelings fluctuated too much.

In her previous life, she could only hurt herself to control her killing instinct and retain her sanity.

However, when she faces enemies or people with ulterior motives who want to harm her, her instincts seem to take over her mind, and she is unable to control the urge to kill. At that time, she will become a mindless killing machine.

After calming down, Yao Ran nodded to Grandma Quan and said, "Thank you, Grandma Quan, for coming to tell me all of this."

Yao Ran knew that Grandma Quan told her this not only because they were on good terms but also because Grandma Quan knew that her family needed their protection.

She doesn't blame Grandma Quan for relying on her and her friends because they also need Quan Yuanwei's skills.

In Yao Ran's view, their relationship is mutually beneficial, and she likes this kind of relationship best. When there are interests involved in the relationship, it is easy to balance and control the direction of the relationship.

After hearing Yao Ran's words, Grandma Quan's eyes lit up. She nodded and said, "I will find out more about this matte. If there is anything new happening over there, I will come to inform you as soon as possible."

Yao Ran nodded, "Alright."

Those women all chose to work for Lu Hong voluntarily. Since they are willing to sell their bodies for food, they must be prepared to take risks. What's more, if they don't want to, Lu Hong also couldn't force them to do it.

Regardless, Lu Hong still needs to act like a good guy in public. Although he is despicable, he will only use a soft approach to deal with the residents for the time being. Therefore, Jia Xiang's anger is just a waste of time.

Although she thought so in her heart, Yao Ran didn't tell others about this. She just said, "Sister Jia, even if you kill Lu Hong today, there will be another Lu Hong tomorrow."

"There are countless people like this out there, and it's useless for you to kill a few of them. Unless you can eradicate all of them at once, no matter what you do, it's useless."

Yao Ran's words were harsh and unpleasant, but Jia Xiang understood the truth behind them. She clenched her hands, sat down, and punched her thigh angrily.

"Then we will only watch them do whatever they want and do nothing?"

Yao Ran did not answer this question because it was useless to answer it. No matter what she says, Jia Xiang already has her own ideas, and Yao Ran cannot forcefully impose her ideas on Jia Xiang.

The important thing now is to deal with the gangs who will come to collect protection grains. Unlike other residents, these gang members have guns and an advantage in number. If those people really come, the worst possible outcome will be a battle to the death.

Deng Qiqi, who sat next to Huang Zhihui, asked, "How about we move away?" Huang Zhihui sighed and asked, "Where can we go in this cold weather? If we leave and can't find a place to stay, wouldn't we die on the road? Also, is there a safe place outside? In addition, what should we do about our supplies? We can't just leave them here, right?"

After listening to Huang Zhihui's questions, Deng Qiqi was speechless because she didn't know where to go. There was no more safe place in this world.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Huang Qian suggested, "How about we move to the villa where we killed the cows?"

Shi Xuan shook his head and said, "That place should have been flooded and frozen by now. Besides, it is snowing outside. I'm afraid there will be a snowstorm in the near future. There is nothing in that place to protect us from the weather or people."
