Why not go to Heaven (v1c30)
Ye Sheng stopped and turned around, and the three people chasing her also halted. Unlike Ye Sheng, who wore a shabby cloak to shield herself from the sun, these people wore ragged clothes full of patches. Their skin was tanned, and their hair was yellow and sparse due to malnutrition. They looked like walking skeletons.
Their skinny appearance was not an exaggeration.
However, it was not surprising that most people in the mitigation zone were underfed. People who were so thin had a low chance of joining the teams that scavenged in the wilderness.
Because they might die on the way...
It was a losing business.
Instead of letting such people join, it was better to select strong workers, who would not waste the team's quota.
After all, every time a team went to the wilderness, they could get half of the team members' income!
Seeing with her own eyes that the three of them looked as if they would fly away with a gust of wind, Ye Sheng felt relieved. But she also knew that she should not stay here for too long, to avoid meeting other people.
Three people were enough for her. If there were two more, she might be doomed!
"Get out of here while I'm in a good mood!"
Ye Sheng waved the black dagger in her hand at the three of them. She adopted the posture she used to fight with bad students in school, and said with a fierce look on her face, full of momentum.
However, the tall man who was originally 1.8 meters suddenly shrank to 1.5 meters, and his intimidating power was reduced by more than half.
Moreover, she had turned into a cute-looking little girl.
With red lips and white teeth, she seemed easier to bully!
Just then, one of them laughed a few times, showing his yellow teeth. He then said through clenched teeth: "Little girl, you are quite cool. You must have found a lot of good things in the wilderness today! A good kid should know how to share. Just give us half of what's in the basket, and we'll let you go."
"Yes, leave half of the things behind, and we'll let you go."
"The sword has no eyes. You don't want to die!"
Ye Sheng sneered after hearing the flattery from the other two.
These people were quite audacious.
With just a few words, they asked her to give up half of her things. Why didn't they ask for the moon!
"You little brats, you still want to steal my things. Just keep dreaming!"
Ye Sheng did not waste time talking to them. She dashed towards the person closest to her, the one who spoke first, and stabbed him in the chest with the dagger in her hand.
Her crazy and fierce move startled them. Their faces turned pale, and they fell to the ground in a panic.
He dodged the attack by a hair's breadth.
That was it?
Robbery?
His pathetic look made Ye Sheng sneer. She then kicked him to the ground several times without mercy.
After that, Ye Sheng did not bother to look at him. She quickly turned back to prevent the other two from grabbing her backpack.
In fact, Ye Sheng's worries were justified. The other two had indeed tried to do that.
They just did not expect Ye Sheng to be so fast.
One of them had already reached for the backpack, but his finger was almost severed by the dagger swung by Ye Sheng. He retracted his hand in horror, barely saving his finger.
"Get out of here!"
Ye Sheng yelled at them again, and the three of them did not dare to make any more moves.
Even though Ye Sheng looked weak and vulnerable, she was actually a tough girl.
Not to be messed with.
They quickly helped up the one who was rolling on the ground, and ran away as fast as they could.
Ye Sheng watched them expressionlessly as they ran away, until they disappeared from sight. Then she let out a long breath and raised her hand to touch her pounding heart in her chest. It was terrifying!
>_<
Even though she had some experience in fighting, it was just a minor scuffle.
How could she use a knife like today?
However, Ye Sheng gave herself full marks for her performance just now... If she had been any slower, her backpack would have been stolen!
She didn't want to scare them with the dagger, but she noticed that the three people opposite exchanged glances. If they had teamed up to attack, it would have been hard to escape.
Therefore, Ye Sheng's swing of the dagger just now was not a bluff, but a real strike!
That was to say, the opponent dodged quickly.
Murder was very common in the wasteland world, so Ye Sheng wouldn't show mercy to survive.
If she kept following the rules of a lawful society, she wouldn't even know how high the grass on her grave would grow next year.
Ye Sheng took a few deep breaths to calm down. Her body was too tense, and she felt weak when she relaxed, but luckily it didn't affect her walking. She picked up her backpack again and headed towards the mitigation zone.
She didn't encounter any more robbers after that.
Ye Sheng finally felt relieved when she saw the familiar shacks in the relaxation zone.
She was finally safe.
Facing the evil intentions of humans today, Ye Sheng felt that it was better to kill the porcupine rat with a blow.
Exhausted...
In fact, Ye Sheng had obtained a lot of edible contaminated plants, and some of them could be sorted out.
But she didn't underestimate the wasteland people's murderousness... Just as they proposed to split the contents of the basket in half and let Ye Sheng go, this could avoid casualties in the fight between the two sides.
But if she had really believed them, she would have been dead.
They were just testing her.
Once Ye Sheng gave in, she would be marked as a weakling, making them even more aggressive and greedy!
But Ye Sheng's fierce preemptive attack and ruthless resistance made them more fearful.
The law of the jungle was the law of the jungle!
It was very reasonable in the wasteland world.
Therefore, she had to kill the Holy Mother first at the end of the day!
She couldn't be soft-hearted.
Not to mention that Ye Sheng had found a lot of food in the rat hole. Even if she had found more, she couldn't give out a peanut to anyone, which would easily arouse envy.
Although she had only been in the doomsday wasteland for a few days, Ye Sheng was very adaptable and had already learned the rules of survival in the mitigation zone.
Unlike her previous struggle to survive alone, now she had to feed the poor little one.
She had to be ruthless if she wanted to survive.
In this wasteland world where people starved to death at any time, even good friends would turn against each other for food.
Even family members had to be on guard.
She felt inexplicably sad.
But she had to follow.
When her spirit was always tense, it was easy to collapse and go crazy, so Ye Sheng chose to relieve the stress by taking care of the little poor girl and healing her wounds.
And earn points to buy a house...
To be honest, if Xiaodongxi had been in good health, Ye Sheng might have been wary of her.
But Xiaodongxi's injury was so severe that she couldn't even move. She was as harmless as a delicate doll, which made Ye Sheng relax in front of her and feel happy.
It was a very happy thing to have someone to accompany her in a strange world.
She thought it was better than being alone.
With that in mind, Ye Sheng walked to the door of the Swap shop. She raised her hands and patted her cheeks to clear her mind, and then entered the hall.
Old Lin was still browsing the store leisurely. When he saw Ye Sheng coming, he smiled warmly: "Little Sheng, you found something good again today!"
Old Lin's tone was a bit playful and teasing, but he actually didn't expect Ye Sheng to have anything else.
She was lucky enough to kill an edible porcupine rat yesterday.
Nothing she found today could compare to what she gained yesterday!
But even though he thought that, Old Lin decided not to discourage the child. He would praise her no matter what she found.
Even if he had to lie through his teeth...
