83 That Woman Is So Fierce
Du Yue glanced at her and said indifferently, “This is the first time we’ve met. How could I be treating you with hostility? I don’t like to be disturbed, and I’m not interested in making friends. If you don’t have anything else to say, you can leave. Oh right, don’t knock on our gate in the future. I won’t be so nice if you do it again.”
After saying that, Du Yue raised an eyebrow at He Xing as a form of greeting, then turned around and returned to her own house. She closed the door tightly behind her.
Wang Tong did not leave immediately after hearing this. Instead, she looked at He Xing with slightly red eyes and asked, “Hey, is that woman your friend? She’s so fierce. I clearly just want to be friends with her. I don’t understand why she hates me so much. I just thought that since everyone’s life is tough in the apocalyptic world, we could be good neighbors and help each other out in the future. I didn’t expect that I was just thinking too much.”
“Why are you addressing her so rudely?” He Xing snorted.
“I’m not…”
“Then why did you refer to her as ‘that woman’? Anyway, did you hear what she just said? Don’t come knocking on our gate in the future. Otherwise, I won’t have the patience to talk to you the next time.”
He Xing said coldly. He did not look at Wang Tong’s pitiful expression and turned to return to his house. Back in the bedroom, He Xing took off his mask. The sneer on his face was obvious. Be friends? Help each other? He had transmigrated through the galaxy and visited countless planets. He had seen too many people in danger. However, it had been a long time since he had met a hypocritical two-faced girl with such a low status like Wang Tong.
Other than selling weapons to make money, He Xing’s biggest hobby was eating and drinking. He had no interest in watching that girl put on a show.
He remembered that there was an old saying on this planet, ‘no matter what, the people’s stomachs came first.’ As expected! Intelligent people were surprisingly consistent, even when it came to food! He Xing sat next to the furnace happily. He opened a bag of roasted hare, skewered them with iron skewers, and slowly roasted them in the furnace over a low fire.
Not long after, the hare was roasted until it was fragrant, and the skin began to sizzle with grease. However, the smell only surrounded He Xing and did not spread to other places. Beside He Xing was a silvery-white cylinder with fan blades on it. It looked like an air-conditioner. The only difference was that the air-conditioner was blowing air out while this one was sucking in the smoke.
He Xing turned the roasted hare slowly and muttered in a deep voice, “I wonder if Du Yue needs this… Should I give her one? If I do give one to her, what excuse should I use?”
…
Du Yue returned to her bedroom, took off her coat and shoes, and sat down against the teddy bear. Du Yue’s eyes were filled with mockery when she thought of Wang Tong. What era was it now? Instead of thinking about how to make herself full and warm, working hard to survive, she actually had the mind to play these little tricks.
She really had nothing better to do. In the future, if Wang Tong was tactful and no longer came to disturb her, she naturally would not go and find trouble with her. However, if Wang Tong still tried to plot against her… then she could not blame Du Yue for what would happen.
For the next three days, Du Yue stayed at home and did not go out at all. Other than eating and sleeping, she trained every day. The iron gate in the stairwell also returned to its usual silence, and no one came knocking on it.
Du Yue was very satisfied with this.
On the fourth day, there was still no movement at the iron gate, but there was a knock on Du Yue’s door. He Xing was the only person who could knock on her door.
Du Yue put on a green military coat and went to open the door for him. Before she could greet him, He Xing spoke first, “I’ve mentioned the rescue missions to you before. There’s one that I think is worth taking up. Do you want to go with me and give it a try?”
“Give me a simple description of the mission.”
“Other than the first base, which we’re currently living in, there are many other bases of different sizes nearby. They were all spontaneously established by the people. Yesterday, a small base sent a request for help, and our base has decided to go over to help. That base is about 60 kilometers away from us, and it used to be a holiday resort. They were suddenly attacked by wild animals and suffered heavy casualties. Many of their houses were also destroyed. The base’s mission is to rescue the survivors and eliminate the wild animals. As for our mission, we’re only responsible for eliminating the wild animals. There’ll be others who are in charge of saving the people. The basic reward this time is 100 contribution points, and additional contribution points will be given to those who kill the wild animals.”
After listening to He Xing’s detailed introduction, Du Yue thought for a moment and nodded at him. “Thank you for inviting me! I’ll go!”
