I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse - Chapter 217

217 This Group of Quarrelling Women Is Giving Me a Headache

“Can’t you tell? Of course, we’re all the king’s concubines!”

Du Yue clenched the gun in her hand and resisted the urge to shoot her to death. “It’s been so many years since they made it compulsory for everyone to go through nine years of education. How can there still be fish that have escaped the net?”

After being ridiculed by Du Yue, the women’s faces all showed embarrassed expressions. After a moment of silence, a woman in a blue floral dress stood up. “You guys have weapons for self-defense, but we don’t. It’s too difficult for us to live a peaceful life in this world. If we don’t rely on him, we’ll either starve to death or die of thirst. We also know that this is very stupid, but if we had other ways, we wouldn’t have chosen to take this path. We’re all women, and you should know that if we rely on ourselves, we won’t get any resources. As long as we follow him, be his concubines, accompany him, and make him happy every day, we can eat and sleep well. We just want to live. Is that wrong?”

Du Yue looked at her. “This is your own path. You can walk it however you want. I’m just an outsider. I don’t have the right to judge whether you’re right or wrong. Besides, I don’t think your choice is wrong.” Du Yue had gotten used to such things in her previous life. If the weak wanted to survive, most of them would choose to rely on the strong. A group of women attached themselves to a capable man, and in order to get his favor, they would fight and scheme against each other. The level of excitement was comparable to TV shows.

!!
In the post-apocalyptic world, everyone wanted to survive. As long as they could survive, they would not hesitate to make any choice. In order to survive, Du Yue had eaten weeds by the roadside and even non-poisonous insects. Even when she thought about it now, Du Yue only felt that it was really not easy to survive back then. She had never felt that her actions were shameful. These women in front of her could not bear hardships and wanted to win over a man to support their lives. She felt that it was excusable. Everyone’s life was in their own hands, and only they could be responsible for their own lives. No matter what decision they made, as long as they did not hurt others and did not regret it, it was enough.

The woman in the blue floral dress glanced at the lifeless man and asked Du Yue again, “Now that you’ve killed him, who’s going to ensure we have food and water in the future? How do you expect so many of us to survive?”

Du Yue said indifferently, “What do you want me to do, then?”

“Since you killed him, you have to take responsibility for us in his place!” As soon as the woman in the blue floral-patterned dress finished speaking, the others all echoed her.

Although Du Yue did not understand them before, she still respected them. However, after hearing what they said, she felt that these women were completely ridiculous. No matter what, she could not understand how these people could make such a request to her so confidently. Could it be that she looked very easy to talk to?

Du Yue glanced coldly at the dozen women in front of her. “Even if you didn’t go through nine years of compulsory education, it doesn’t mean that you can speak without thinking. I killed him because there’s enmity between us. Have you ever seen a vengeful person who takes up the responsibility of taking care of their enemy’s harem?”

“How can you be like this—” Without giving the woman in the blue floral dress a chance to continue, Du Yue raised the gun in her hand and aimed it at her head. “You don’t know how to live after he’s dead? That’s easy, I can send you off with him. As long as you say you’re willing, I can do it now.”

When she heard Du Yue’s cold voice and met her cold eyes, the woman in the blue floral-patterned dress could not help but shiver. She hurriedly took a few steps back and did not dare to continue speaking. Du Yue could not be bothered with her and turned to leave. He Xing, who had been silent all this while, quickly followed.

However, he had only taken two steps when he was blocked by the group of women. “Handsome, wait a minute!”

“Just stay here, okay? We’ll be your concubines in the future, and you’ll be our king!”

“When I first saw you, I sensed that you have an extraordinary aura and that you’re not an ordinary person. If you’re willing to stay and be our king, you’ll definitely be the most powerful king in the world in the future! We’re all very obedient. In the future, we’ll play with you however you want…”

Du Yue, who had just taken two steps, stopped and turned to look at the group of women surrounding He Xing. Her eyes grew fiercer. She could not take it anymore. She aimed the gun at the roof and pulled the trigger. Du Yue herself was stunned when she did not hear the gunshot. Damn it! Due to this group of noisy women, she had even forgotten that this gun was equipped with a silencer.
