141 She Did Not Want to Be a Saint, but She Wouldn’t Kill Indiscriminately
“Du Yue!” Wu Di seemed to have lost his memory. He completely forgot that Du Yue had given him the cold shoulder the last time. He greeted her warmly. “I was just about to go out to settle some matters. Are you going out too? We’re really fated!”
Du Yue sneered. “Fate? It’s probably fate that was forcefully twisted.”
Hearing this, Wu Di was stunned for a moment before he asked, “What do you mean by that? Du Yue, don’t tell me you think that I heard you coming down the stairs, so I deliberately created a chance encounter? There isn’t even a peephole on the door, so how would I know who’s coming down? No matter what, we’re former classmates. Even if you don’t want to keep in touch with me, you can’t make such malicious speculations about others.”
Du Yue raised her brows at the indignant Wu Di. “If you don’t want to be maliciously judged by others, then don’t always do things that will cause misunderstandings. We didn’t have much of a friendship in the past, and it’ll be the same in the future. There’s no need for us to greet each other so warmly when we meet in the future. We can just treat each other as strangers.”
After Du Yue said this, she saw Wu Di’s face filled with grievance and disappointment. If someone who did not know anything saw this scene, they would have thought that the two of them had a deep friendship. Du Yue could not be bothered to deal with him and turned to leave. However, Wu Di came back to his senses and stepped forward to stop Du Yue. “Don’t be angry. I was just upset that you misunderstood me just now, so I was grumbling. Please don’t take it to heart. No matter what, you’re closer to me than you are to the other people in this base. They’re all strangers, but we were once classmates. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, as your old classmate, I’ll definitely help you to the best of my ability. Don’t you think so?”
Du Yue shot him a disdainful look. “Compared to a former classmate who’s trying to set me up, I prefer to interact with strangers.”
“You’re teasing me, Du Yue! You really can’t distinguish between good and bad!” Wu Di was so angry that he turned around and strode back to his house after saying that. He even deliberately made a loud noise when he closed the door.
A bang was heard. Du Yue frowned upon hearing it. The sound was too loud. It was clearly a disturbance to the people. “Let’s go!” Du Yue turned around and said to He Xing. The two of them walked out of the building and headed to the parking lot unhurriedly.
On the way, He Xing asked Du Yue, “Why did you talk so much to that kind of person?”
“What should I have done, then? I can’t just throw him into the mountains to feed the wolves, right?”
At the mention of Wu Di, Du Yue more or less felt a headache. Although she felt that Wu Di definitely had ulterior motives and only approached her to achieve some kind of goal, he had not done anything just yet. He just came up to her and said a few words to get close to her. If she killed him just because she hated him, would she not become a monster who only knew how to solve problems by killing people?
After the apocalypse arrived, everyone that Du Yue killed had been a threat to her. They were the ones who harmed her first. However, if she killed the person before the person did anything to her, it would be a different story. Du Yue did not want to be a saint, but she would not kill indiscriminately.
He Xing’s gaze softened at Du Yue’s words. The two of them chatted as they got into the car. As soon as they sat down, He Xing took out the silver furnace and placed it under the back seat. He did not forget to explain to Du Yue, “Turn this on. The car will warm up soon.”
Du Yue glanced at the item and suddenly thought of something. “That day when we were at the resort, did you use this when I was sleeping in the sleeping bag?”
He Xing looked at Du Yue in shock. “You weren’t asleep? Did you see it?”
“No, I didn’t see it. I just knew I was sleeping very comfortably and didn’t feel cold at all. When I saw you take out this thing today, I guessed it.”
Just as He Xing had said, the car was much warmer than before in less than ten minutes. Due to the high temperature in the car, it was much easier to start the engine today. The two of them left the base this time mainly to practice shooting and hunt. After staying at home for a long time, it was inevitable that they would feel a little bored. They could also take this opportunity to go out and take a breather.
He Xing stopped the car at the gate of the base. Du Yue thought it was strange, but before she could ask, He Xing rolled down the window and called out to the car next to them, “Captain Zuo.”
Hearing the sound, the car’s window rolled down as well. Two people were sitting in the back seat, both wrapped up tightly. However, Du Yue could still recognize that the one on the right was Zuo Mingdong.
