Of course, she was happy to be able to walk out alive. There was no longer any law binding them. If Shen Teng did not let her off and killed her to vent his anger, she would have no choice. Therefore, when she heard Shen Teng say that he would let her go, her first reaction was to rejoice.
However, after feeling fortunate, she began to feel reluctant. She was not reluctant to part with Shen Teng but with the stable life she was used to. Since Shen Teng was letting her go, it meant that he was not really angry with her.
Did that not mean that as long as she lowered herself a little and acted coquettishly with Shen Teng, begging for mercy, he would forgive her? He would then let her stay.
If she left this place, although she would no longer be in danger, she would have to go back to the days when she did not have enough to eat or wear. She did not even want to think about that painful life. Although she had not been with Shen Teng for a long time, it was the happiest and most relaxed period of time she had since the beginning of the apocalypse. She could eat her fill, wear clean clothes, and have a place to shelter herself from the wind and rain.
There was a warm light in tent, a tablet that could be used to watch TV shows, and Shen Teng was there to accompany her. The living conditions of the first base were worlds apart from this place. If she had never lived a comfortable life without comparison, it would have been fine. However, in this situation, she did not want to leave no matter what.
Zhang Hui’s eyes flashed as she reached out to hug Shen Teng’s calf and said coquettishly, “Big Brother Teng, I know you’re just saying those words out of anger. You still have feelings for me, right? I don’t want to leave you. You’re sick now. No one can take care of you without me. Although they’re your good friends, they can’t always take care of you, right? If I’m here, you’ll recover faster.”
Of course, Du Yue knew that in the apocalypse, the most worthless things were a person’s pride and face. After all, compared to eating, wearing, and living well, few people would care about their dignity.
However, Du Yue had never seen such a shameless person. The three of them were by Shen Teng’s side, yet Zhang Hui could say such words without blushing or jumping. Did she think that everyone present had lost their memories and did not remember what she had done?
Did Zhang Hui think that as long as she acted coquettishly, Shen Teng would definitely be soft-hearted?
Du Yue thought to herself as she looked at Shen Teng. Shen Teng’s expression did not change, and his eyes seemed a little cold. On the other hand, Xia Ju, who was at the side, had an excited expression on her face. When Du Yue looked over, Xia Ju had already quietly raised her phone. It was obvious that she was about to start filming.
Du Yue could not help but roll her eyes at Xia Ju. Then, she took a few steps back to prevent herself from being recorded. Although she did not know what inspired Xia Ju, she was likely planning to continue filming in the apocalypse.
Other people had to find actors and write scripts to film a movie. However, Xia Ju did not need to. She filmed everything she saw. Moreover, in the apocalypse, everything she took was very dramatic. Under her camera lens, the evil and ugliness of human nature were exposed. There were women who seduced the people in power in order to survive, as well as Shen Teng and Zhang Hui who clearly were not in love but acted out their deep feelings.
This kind of movie was definitely good. If Xia Ju continued to film, she might be able to make a doomsday documentary out of these clips after the apocalypse. That would be good too.
Du Yue was still immersed in her own thoughts when Shen Teng spoke again, “Zhang Hui, there’s no relationship between us. You and I both know why you want to stay by my side. Letting you go is the last thing I can do for each other. We’ll go our separate ways in the future and not disturb each other. If you continue to pester me, you’ll be the only one who’ll regret it in the end.”
When Shen Teng said this, his tone and expression were indifferent. One could not tell whether he was happy or angry. However, the calmer he was, the more determined he was. Zhang Hui also understood that there was no room for negotiation. Instead of kneeling down, she slowly stood up.
Shen Teng was tall, so even if she stood up straight, she could only reach his shoulders. Zhang Hui raised her head, her eyes filled with hatred. “Shen Teng, you’ve never loved me! You treated me as someone else’s substitute. Even when we were intimate, you were never really looking at me. Yes, you gave me food, clothing, and a place to stay. But this is what you should have given me.. 1 don’t owe you anything!”
