Chapter 422: Provoked the Wrong Person

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Only now did Guo Deyou realize that he had provoked the wrong person. During the day, when he heard his subordinates say that the two of them were capable and that they were no match for them at all, he thought that they were trash. In addition, he learned that the people who fired the guns were not Du Yue’s accomplices, and they did not have any close contact with each other. Guo Deyou decided to teach them a lesson. He wanted them to know that in the fourth base, no one could mess with him! He could put aside his previous hatred for the time being, but he was definitely unwilling to give away so much food for nothing. However, when he saw his subordinates fall silently one by one, he began to be afraid.

If he had known that these two people’s combat strength was so terrifying, he would have let the matter slide. As long as he could still live, it would not take long for him to get those things back… Thinking of this, Guo Deyou’s eyes flashed with hope. “Wait a minute! The two of you are magnanimous people, so please spare me! Everything that happened before was because I wasn’t sensible. I shouldn’t have provoked you!

“As long as you’re willing to let me go, I guarantee that you’ll have as much food as you want. I guarantee that you won’t have to worry about food and drinks for the rest of your life, okay?”

Hearing Guo Deyou’s words, Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. “We can have as much as we want? If you were so capable, would you still rely on extorting parking fees for a living?”

In the face of Du Yue’s doubts, Guo Deyou could not care about anything else. He only cared about desperately proving himself. “As long as you let me go, I’ll definitely keep my word! I, Guo Deyou, am a well-known figure in the fourth base. If I can’t even do this, I’ve been living in vain for the past few years.

“Do you think it’s easy to collect parking fees from people? It’s all because of my background and backing! The parking fee is a small sum, but who would complain about having too much money? Besides, the people under me don’t usually have any proper jobs. This is just to give them something to do…” Speaking of his glorious past, Guo Deyou became more and more arrogant.

It was not until he felt Du Yue’s gaze getting colder and colder that Guo Deyou quickly shut his mouth and restrained his expression. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! When I talked about this, I got a little excited. I said too much nonsense…”

Du Yue could not be bothered to listen to his nonsense and only asked him, “You guys are doing whatever you want in the base, and the base keeps one eye closed?”

“That’s right!” Guo Deyou answered matter-of-factly. After staring at Du Yue for a while, he suddenly reacted. “You’re new here, right? No wonder…

“On the surface, the fourth base seems to be developing well. Everything is in order, and it’s peaceful. However, those are all illusions. In fact, the thoughts of the higher-ups are very simple—survival of the fittest. The base acquiesces to everyone fighting for resources because they feel that only those who are capable are worthy of living here. Those who can’t even protect themselves shouldn’t have any regrets even if they die.”

Du Yue did not expect that the leader of a base would think like that. In this post-apocalyptic world, capable people could rely on their own abilities to live well. Those who were at a disadvantage could only rely on the protection of the base to barely survive. If the base had such an attitude, how many old, weak, sick, and disabled people would die? When she heard Guo Deyou’s words, her first reaction was disbelief.

However, before Du Yue could speak, Guo Deyou continued, “I know that you might not believe this. But now that things have come to this, there’s no benefit for me to lie to you. The fourth base is different from the other official bases. Therefore, all the things I did mean nothing. You’re new here. Even if you don’t provoke others, people will keep coming to find trouble with you. “Why don’t you guys consider it? I’ll follow you guys in the future. I’ll listen to whatever you say. We can definitely…”

“Shut your mouth!” Du Yue’s cold gaze swept across. Guo Deyou was so scared that he immediately swallowed the rest of his words and looked at Du Yue with fear.

If Du Yue really wanted to form a faction and establish her own power, she would not be wandering between bases with He Xing. Du Yue was not interested in Guo Deyou’s suggestion. The only expression on Du Yue’s face was one of anger..
