And you’re still crying! Stealing things isn’t right in the first place. If this was in an Arab country or somewhere similar, your hand would be directly chopped off. Moreover, this sort of thing is too dangerous. Even with a moment of carelessness, your small physique would explode into pulp. And you still dare to play with anything!” Yue Zhong scolded as he stared at Yao Yao. If naughty children like her weren’t given a bit of a lesson, she could overturn the heavens.
Yao Yao clenched her teeth and stared at Yue Zhong with her slightly red eyes and an extremely unyielding, stubborn appearance.
“Never mind! This time I’ll let you off! This grenade is confiscated! Go back and properly attend lessons!”
Originally, Yue Zhong had wanted to detonate the grenade himself to teach Yao Yao how dangerous they were, but then he changed his mind and did not do so. This was because grenades were also scarce resources; back then, if he didn’t have a large number of grenades, he wouldn’t have been able to kill that mutated rat king.
As soon as Yue Zhong loosened his grip, Yao Yao leapt off of his thigh and both of her red eyes stared at him, looking reluctantly at the grenade in his hands. Then she swiftly ran off, until not even her shadow could be seen.
Right after Yue Zhong had taught Yao Yao a lesson, Xia Yue and Gao Ying were brought by two soldiers up to him.
(Note: Those two people told Yue Zhong where this military base was in exchange for being taken back to Long Hai City Base.)
Yue Zhong glanced at Xia Yue, who always seemed elegant and attractive, and lightly said,
“Miss Xia Yue, would you please tell me what you’re here to ask me for?”
After Qing Yuan County had landed in Yue Zhong’s hands, Xia Yue and Gao Ying hadn’t really been living well. Yue Zhong’s treatment towards them was the same as to normal survivors: only by doing work could they have food to eat‐ otherwise, they would only be able to eat rations.
Xia Yue was of noble birth, although before the ‘end of the world’, she was really nothing more than a college student without any particularly outstanding ability. There were a lot of students with a master’s degree or PhD here in Yue Zhong’s place, and there were also many with rich work experience. Compared with other people, her only advantage was a beautiful appearance and body.
Xia Yue had no way of finding the job she wanted, therefore she ended up looking for Yue Zhong.
