216 Confidence Is Key
The two of them hugged for a while. After that, Du Yue looked at Xiang Nan’s body. “Put his body in the s.p.a.ce first. We’ll find a place to cremate him after we get out.”
“Alright, it’s indeed not the time for cremation,” He Xing agreed.
Du Yue put Xiang Nan’s body into her inters.p.a.ce. Fortunately, her inters.p.a.ce was quite large, so it was not difficult for her to store him there.
After collecting Xiang Nan’s body, Du Yue turned her eyes to the man in yellow. This man, whether it was his appearance or temperament, was very ordinary. It could even be said that he had the kind of appearance that made him hard to spot in the crowd. Du Yue sized him up for a while before turning to He Xing. “I thought everyone in the interstellar was like you.”
“What do you mean?” He Xing was confused by her sudden question. “What I mean is, I used to think that everyone in the interstellar was like you, with outstanding looks and outstanding abilities. After all, aren’t you all evolved?”
He Xing was wondering what Du Yue was referring to, but it turned out that she was referring to this. He smiled. “Although we’ve all evolved, the degree of evolution is different for everyone. I don’t think there are many in the entire universe who are like me in every aspect.”
Du Yue nodded in agreement. “It might not be difficult to be like you in other aspects, but it’s difficult to be as confident as you are. He Xing, you’ve made me truly understand the saying that confidence is key.”
The two of them laughed at the same time. He Xing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Du Yue’s smile. He had been worried that Du Yue’s mood would be affected by Xiang Nan’s departure, but now that she could talk and laugh, he did not have to worry anymore.
He Xing walked over to the man, squatted down beside him, and began to search his body. Du Yue followed him and knelt down. “What are you looking for?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she saw He Xing pull out a silver box from under the man’s loose clothes. He Xing stood up and opened the box. There were ten mini-sized robots neatly placed inside. “Are they the robots that can be used to dig holes?” Du Yue asked curiously.
He Xing nodded at her. “That’s right, keep them. These little things are very useful.”
Du Yue did not ask anything else and put the things into her s.p.a.ce. Other than this, there was nothing else in the box that caught their eye. Just as they were about to leave, the door on the opposite wall was suddenly opened from the inside. Figures rushed out from inside.
Du Yue subconsciously raised her gun and aimed it at the party. However, in the next second, she saw that it was a group of women in skimpily-dressed clothes who rushed out. The temperature outside was less than 20 degrees Celsius. The underground city’s temperature was even lower than that outside, around ten degrees Celsius at most. Du Yue was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants that were extra thick. After staying in the underground city for a long time, she still felt a little cold. However, these women had their thighs and arms exposed. Some of them were wearing skirts that were not much longer than swimsuits. Did they not feel cold?
Just as Du Yue was still puzzled, these women had already rushed to the side of the man in yellow. They surrounded the man, their faces full of worry. When they were certain that the man on the ground was no longer breathing, they all stood up and approached Du Yue and He Xing with hostile expressions. “Did you two kill the king?”
Du Yue was speechless. She did not want to bother with these people and turned to leave.
However, when these women saw that she was leaving, they quickly ran in front of her and blocked her way. “You can’t leave! You still haven’t told us who killed the king! If you don’t explain yourself today, we won’t let you go!”
Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. “If I’m the one who killed him, what are you gonna do to me?”
“You… What right do you have to kill people?”
“Why did you break into the underground city and kill our king? What do you want?”
“Do you know how much trouble you’re causing to our lives by doing this? If you kill him, who’s going to take care of our food and clothing?”
Du Yue was speechless. She sized up the crowd. “You’re not missing an arm or a leg, so you’ll have to take care of your own food and clothing.” As soon as the words left her mouth, the women became more and more restless. They made a fuss and demanded that Du Yue take responsibility for them. For the first time, Du Yue felt that women were troublesome creatures, especially when a group of women gathered together. She thought for a while and asked again, “Who are you to him?”
