94 Won’t Be Affected by Force or Persuasion
Du Yue could barely hear their footsteps in the midst of the snoring around her. She could only see their figures as they ran out of the door. Du Yue slowly opened her eyes and frowned as she watched the group of people run out. This was only the first night, and there were already people who could not wait to cause trouble.
As she was thinking, she heard sharp female voices break the silence of the night. “You bunch of thieves! Give me back my things!”
“You ungrateful sc.u.m of society, we should’ve left you here to fend for yourself! Captain Zuo has already made dinner for you, yet you still s.n.a.t.c.hed our things!”
“Right! You’re a bunch of cruel and unscrupulous people! We should’ve left you to freeze to your deaths here! I hope you get bitten to death by wild animals!”
The women’s shrill voices were ear-piercing in the quiet night. Du Yue listened quietly. She felt that one of the voices was somewhat familiar. She frowned and thought for a while before she finally remembered. It was the woman who said that the hall had an unpleasant smell when they first arrived.
The noise quickly woke up the people who were sleeping in the hall. Zuo Mingdong was the first to get up, and he led his men out. Except for them, the survivors and the members of the first base did not intend to go out with them.
It was already the second half of the night, and the cold wind outside was bone-chilling. No one was willing to run outside for a few unfamiliar people. Du Yue heard someone cursing. They were clearly cursing at the people who had woken them up from their sleep.
In this extremely cold weather, it was not only the cold wind and blizzards that were bone-piercingly cold.
It did not take long for Zuo Mingdong to bring the group of people back to the hall. The women were still complaining loudly even after they entered the hall. “You must give us justice on this matter! It wasn’t easy for us to bring the food here. Why did they have to take it away? We must make them compensate us today!”
Without waiting for Zuo Mingdong to speak, a man in ragged clothes next to him grinned, showing his yellow teeth. “Compensate you? No problem! You can sleep next to me tonight. I’ll compensate you when I p.o.o.p the food out tomorrow morning!”
“You! How can you be so shameless?! People like you deserve to be trapped here! If we didn’t come to rescue you, you would’ve frozen to death or starved to death in some corner! You’re just a piece of trash with no ability at all! What kind of man are you to bite the hand that feeds you?!”
“As long as I can eat my fill, I don’t mind not being considered a man! Did I ever beg you to save me? Let me tell you, I’ve had enough of these d.a.m.n days! If you have the ability, kill me! Do it!”
“I’m afraid my hands will get dirty if I kill you, you piece of trash! Hurry up and return our things! Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
“Whatever! Anyway, I don’t have anything on me, only my life! If you’re not convinced, then take my life! I’ll be waiting for you here!”
The two of them stood in the middle of the hall, pointing at each other’s noses and quarreling. Many people were woken up by them and looked at them with extreme dissatisfaction.
“All of you, shut up!” Zuo Mingdong shouted in a low voice. “What’s the fuss about?! Hurry up and go back to sleep!”
“No! I can’t let him go back to sleep! Captain Zuo, they haven’t returned our supplies yet.
“You’re making a scene here just to get your supplies back? What can he use to return the things to you?” Zuo Mingdong was also filled with anger. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger and spoke again, “You guys can keep their information. When we return to the base, let them work to earn contribution points so that they can return the things to you.”
“That won’t do. We’ll have to wait too long!”
“You disapprove? Alright! Then you can continue to argue with him! If you want to fight or kill, go out and make a scene. Don’t disturb everyone’s rest here!”
Zuo Mingdong was able to be the team leader of this rescue mission because he had the ability to control the situation. Seeing that he was really angry, the women did not dare to ask him to make a decision for them.
“Forget it, forget it! I won’t bother with this group of sc.u.mbags. I’ll just treat it as if my things were s.n.a.t.c.hed away by a dog!” No matter whether he was called a sc.u.mbag or a dog, the man did not show any anger on his face. He was still smiling. However, Du Yue could clearly see the murderous intent in his eyes.
This place was completely different from the first base. Those who could survive here were not simple people. The man had a smile on his face from the beginning to the end, looking like someone who would not be affected by force or persuasion. However, it was absolutely impossible for him to survive until now just by being shameless.
