“I have no choice but to change to another one. However, it’s obvious that the quality of the new product is average. It only took a few hits before it fell to the ground and can’t get up anymore.” The commentator was probably the person who was filming with the camera, but his voice was specially processed into an electronic voice, so it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female. Du Yue’s eyes grew colder and colder after hearing these words. After the apocalypse, it was already difficult for everyone to survive until now. Now, there were actually people broadcasting such things publicly. What kind of culture was this?
The fourth base seemed to have a good system, but no one cared about such a ridiculous thing. Du Yue was silent, but He Xing spoke up, “The kid he mentioned yesterday should be the young man who rented the rooms to us.”
Du Yue thought so too. She nodded. “Yes, it might be him. But he didn’t go today. Is it because his body can’t take it? Or did he not want to go?”
No matter what the reason was, not going was a good thing.
Otherwise, based on his half-dead state yesterday, he would probably really lose his life there. Just by looking at the state of the guy lying on the ground, it was not impossible for him to be beaten to death. The person wearing the boxing gloves moved his wrist and said in a bone-chilling tone, “Hey, stop pretending to be dead. Hurry up and continue. I haven’t had enough fun yet. It’s absolutely impossible to get away with this! Do you really think it’s so easy to earn ten catties of grains a day?” As the man spoke, his sandbag-sized fist continued to hit the guy on the ground mercilessly. The man used all his strength and punched the boy. The boy’s body twitched a few times, and painful sobs came out of his mouth. His body could not help but curl up. The man did not show mercy because of this. Seeing the boy like this, he became even more interested. He smashed his fists down again and again, each time with more strength. After hitting him more than ten times, the man finally stopped.
He took off his gloves and threw them to the side. The man smiled sinisterly. “I’m happy today. I’ll reward you with an extra catty of grains. Also, go and find the kid who stood me up. Since he dares to stand me up, I’ll make him pay!” The man said a few words before turning around and striding away. His figure quickly disappeared from the camera. The live broadcast did not stop there. The camera zoomed in again and gave a close-up of the young man’s face. His pained expression appeared on the screen, but this time, the cameraman did not explain the youngster’s current situation.
However, after filming, he sneered and said, “A night’s hard work can be exchanged for n catties of grains. How many people usually beg for this opportunity? If anyone feels that they’re more capable than him, you’re welcome to sign up for this game at any time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the live broadcast ended. Looking at the black screen, Du Yue and He Xing were silent for a long time. As someone who had lived two lives, Du Yue naturally knew that there were many dark things in this world.
However, this was the first time Du Yue had seen someone openly publicize their crimes. She was not surprised, but she was really angry. This was not a small base that was deserted and ungoverned. It was one of the ten official bases! Yet they were so arrogant and dared to broadcast such a thing on the base’s forum. Du Yue did not believe that the officials of the base were completely unaware of it, nor did she believe that they were innocent.
Du Yue no longer had the mood to read gossip and casually threw her phone aside. “If they dare to broadcast this, they must have a backer behind them.” He Xing suddenly said this.
Du Yue looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly said this. He Xing met Du Yue’s gaze and gave her a harmless smile. “They have a backer, which is why they’re so arrogant. They could still live stream here safely today, but tomorrow might not be the case. After all, people like them are the easiest to make enemies with.”
Du Yue raised an eyebrow. “You want to kill them?”
“I didn’t say that. Don’t talk nonsense. Don’t accuse a good person.” He Xing quickly denied it, but Du Yue could not help but curl the corners of her mouth. So be it! The two of them were not the police, nor were they martial artists. They could not possibly interfere in every unfair thing they saw.
Du Yue slept through the night without any dreams. After waking up in the morning, Du Yue subconsciously turned on her phone and opened the forum. As soon as she entered, she saw a conspicuous red flame on a post. Du Yue had studied it yesterday and knew that this red flame represented the post with the most clicks and interactions today..
