153 Do You Really Want to Help Your Friend? I’ll Help You
Du Yue exhaled gently, and a smile reappeared on her face. “It’s been so long, and we’ve finally heard some good news. Let’s try to plant some frosty snow fruits after we get back.”
He Xing had no objections to that. Since he could eat it, he would plant it! After parking the car in the parking lot, the two of them walked back to the building. As soon as they entered the building, they heard the sound of a door opening. Then, someone quickly walked up to them. “Are you Du Yue?” The voice did not belong to Wu Di. Du Yue looked in the direction of the voice and raised her eyebrows.
Even though this person had wrapped himself up tightly from top to bottom, and the clothes he wore were completely different from the last time, Du Yue could tell at a glance that this was the man who had peeked at them from outside the iron gate.
Before Du Yue could speak, the man spoke again anxiously, “My name is Zhang Zepeng. I was Wu Di’s colleague before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, we came to this base together and rented a house here. Ever since Wu Di met you last night, he’s been locking himself in his room without eating or drinking. He hasn’t moved at all. I’m afraid that he’ll faint again from exhaustion, so I came to see you. I hope you can go and see him. After all, the two of you are former classmates. Even if there’s a misunderstanding, you’ve been living in the same building and have often seen each other. You won’t just stand there and watch, right? After the apocalypse, everyone has been doing all they can to survive. I’m really worried that something will happen to him. You wouldn’t want anything to happen to him, would you?”
Seeing Zhang Zepeng’s anxious eyes, Du Yue sneered, “Whether something happens to him or not has nothing to do with me. There are so many people who want to eat but can’t, but Wu Di is going on a hunger strike. Isn’t he being childish?”
Zhang Zepeng obviously did not expect Du Yue to have such a cold attitude. He looked at Du Yue with condemnation in his eyes. “Don’t you have a conscience? If it wasn’t for you, would he have become like this? Yet you actually said that about him! I’m only asking you to see him, but you don’t even want to. If something really happens to him, will your conscience be at ease?”
When Du Yue heard that, she sighed silently in her heart. What kind of weirdos did she keep meeting? They always tried to guilt-trip her. ‘People, please be clear. This is the apocalypse. Who would fall for your tricks?’
“Relay this message to Wu Di for me. A man shouldn’t act like this. No one will buy it. Also, we’ve only spoken less than ten sentences to each other. Even if he starves to death, I wouldn’t even look at him. Do you understand?”
After saying this, Du Yue was about to go upstairs. Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhang Zepeng quickly stepped forward and opened his arms to stop her. “No, I can’t let you go just like this. He’s defiled himself like this, and you have to take responsibility for it. If you don’t give him an explanation today, I definitely won’t let you go!”
Looking at the indignant Zhang Zepeng, Du Yue’s lips curved up. “You’re ready to risk your life for your friend?”
“So what if I am?!”
Zhang Zepeng’s voice was impassioned. “As his best friend, of course, I can’t just watch you hurt him like this!”
“You’re loyal.” Du Yue smiled. She bent down and pulled out the dagger from her calf. She played with the dagger in her hand. The dagger’s sharp edge was revealed. The cold light on the blade followed Du Yue’s movements and streaked across Zhang Zepeng’s eyes, causing him to subconsciously close his eyes.
Before he could open his eyes again, he felt a gust of cold wind coming at him, and he quickly dodged to the side. He glared at Du Yue before he could even steady himself. “What are you doing?!”
Du Yue chuckled. “Didn’t you say that you’re going to risk your life for Wu Di? I’m just helping you express your brotherly love for him.”
When Zhang Zepeng heard this, he looked at Du Yue as if she was a crazy woman. “…Are you crazy?! I’m asking you to go and persuade Wu Di not to do anything stupid! I didn’t ask you to try and stab me!”
“Do I have to listen to you no matter what you ask me to do? Why? I can do whatever I want!” As Du Yue said this, she moved her feet. Before Zhang Zepeng could react, she had already appeared in front of him.
Zhang Zepeng looked at the dagger that was getting closer and closer to him. He was so scared that he kept stepping back. He yelled that Du Yue was crazy as he stumbled into the house. However, even though he ran with all his might, he was still cut several times by Du Yue’s dagger.
