I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

134 You’re Mine Too

“That’s not true. How can you say that about…?” Pan Lili stammered for a long time, but she could not finish her sentence.

Dong Siming ignored her and looked at He Xing. “They provoked you. You can do whatever you want to them. I won’t interfere. No matter what, I have to thank you for your help today. Although you said it was just a matter of convenience, it’s a life-saving grace to us. I’ll remember this favor in my heart. In the future, if you need my help, I’ll definitely help.”

“There’s no need to wait for the future,” He Xing said. “I can use you now. After all, they’re your team members. If they do something wrong, you, as the team leader, should be the one to deal with them. I’ll leave the two of them to you. It’s up to you how you want to deal with them.” He Xing walked to Du Yue’s side and tugged on her sleeve. “Let’s move the boars into the car first. I have something important to tell you.”

Du Yue felt that He Xing’s current state was a little strange, but when she saw his anxious look, she thought that he might really have something urgent to attend to, so she did not dwell on it. The two of them tied the remaining wild boars up with steel wires and hung them at the back of the car.

He Xing’s off-road vehicle was powerful enough to drag so many wild boars. If it was an ordinary car, the car probably would not move even if the accelerator was stepped on. The car had not gone far. Du Yue looked in the rearview mirror and saw Dong Siming gradually approaching his two team members. Then, he took out a knife from his waist and chopped off their hands. Pan Lili, who was standing next to him, was so scared that she took a few steps back and sat down in the snow, crying.

At this point, Du Yue was no longer curious and retracted her gaze. Although these people were from the same team, it seemed that they did not have a good relationship. Just now, when Dong Siming said those words, it could be seen that he had a lot of opinions about those two team members. Today’s incident had also given him a justifiable opportunity to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.

As for Pan Lili, whether she was innocent or playing dumb, Du Yue just treated it as if she had just seen a performance. It had been a long time since the apocalypse, and those who could survive until now must have had their own way of survival—unless they had someone protecting them from behind. As for whether other people’s lifestyles were good or bad, she had no interest in judging.

The only thing that Du Yue cared about now was He Xing, who had been acting a little strange since a while ago. However, he was driving seriously and had no intention of explaining. Du Yue did not ask. He Xing would tell her whenever he wanted to.

He Xing held the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car at full speed. After returning to the base, he went straight to the service hall. From the moment the car entered the base, it attracted the attention of all the pedestrians. Many people would go out hunting now. After all, everyone wanted to eat meat, especially in this cold weather. If they did not eat meat, their bodies would not have many calories to burn. They would not be able to stand it at all.

They had seen people bring back more than a dozen animals at once. However, this was the first time they had seen a man and a woman catch so many wild boars. When they arrived at the service hall, the staff weighed the wild boars. In their accounts, there was an additional 3,000 contribution points.

Since the wild boars had been sent to the service hall and the roads in the base were easier to walk on, He Xing’s driving speed was faster than when they were on their way back. In the blink of an eye, the car stopped at the entrance of the building.

It was not until the two of them returned to the seventh floor and He Xing locked the iron gate that he spoke again. “Come to my house. I have something important to tell you.”

Although Du Yue was puzzled, she still followed him to his house. After leaving the house for an entire morning, the furnace in He Xing’s bedroom was almost burnt to the bottom. However, He Xing had no intention of adding more coal. Instead, he looked straight at Du Yue. “Did you just say that I’m your man?”

Du Yue had been waiting for He Xing to speak. However, she never expected that this would be He Xing’s first words. It was Du Yue’s own words, and she said them not long ago. Of course, she had not forgotten. “At that time, it was because we were in a hurry—”

“Du Yue, listen to me first,” He Xing interrupted her. He Xing’s tone was so serious that Du Yue stopped in her tracks and stared at him blankly. He Xing took off his mask so that Du Yue could see his expression clearly. “Du Yue, I don’t really understand human feelings, but in my heart, you’re mine too.”
