母蜂的复仇

He Xing explained, “He arranged for people to rob the food in the base and even sent people to attack the base. Although he didn’t cause a lot of damage, the base won’t let him challenge the authority of the base.”

Hearing this, Xiang Nan’s furrowed brows relaxed a little. “So, you’re working for the base and were sent here to gather information? So that’s how it is…”

Seeing that Xiang Nan was not surprised at all, He Xing raised his eyebrows. “How do you know about this? ”

!!

Xiang Nan shook his head, “I didn’t know about it. It was just a guess. He’s indeed capable of doing those things.”

“You know him that well? Do you know each other?”

Xiang Nan’s face darkened. “I do know him, but I hate him. That’s why I have to know everything about him.”

He Xing nodded. “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.”

Xiang Nan did not answer. The room fell into silence. Du Yue looked at Xiang Nan, wanting to ask him some questions. However, when the words reached her mouth, she still held back. They were strangers to begin with, so it was not convenient for her to ask about the other party’s private matters.

Du Yue thought for a moment and asked him, “Do you know where the underground city is?”

“I know the approximate location. There are too many guards there. I never had the chance to go in,” said Xiang Nan in a low voice. “You want to go there?”

“Of course. Then take us there. We’ll find a way to get you in.” Upon hearing Du Yue’s words, Xiang Nan suddenly raised his head and looked at her. Even though the fire was bright, it could not hide the surprise in his eyes.

Du Yue was slightly surprised to see his eyes. His bright eyes gave off a familiar feeling. “Alright! We’ll leave tomorrow!”

He Xing had been listening to their conversation. “What’s your name?” he asked.

“Xiang Nan…”

“I’m He Xing.”

“Just call me Du Yue.”

Xiang Nan nodded and fell into silence again.

The firewood in the room was burning brightly, and it would make crackling sounds from time to time. Du Yue raised her wrist and saw that it was already eight in the evening. They had not had dinner yet. At this time last night, Du Yue and He Xing had already finished showering and were having dinner together. However, there was an outsider present today, so they could only make do with it. Du Yue took out a bag of compressed biscuits from her backpack. It had been more than three years since the apocalypse, and the number of times Du Yue had eaten compressed biscuits could be counted on one hand. They were mainly to fill one’s stomach. The taste could only be considered not bad, but Du Yue was not a pretentious person. She would eat when she was hungry.

Just as Du Yue was about to take a bite, she saw Xiang Nan, who had his head lowered, opposite her. She took out a bag of compressed biscuits from her bag and threw it at him. Xiang Nan subconsciously took it, but he did not open it to eat. Instead, he handed it to Du Yue. Before he could speak, Du Yue said, “You’re taking us to the underground city, so this is your reward.”

Xiang Nan frowned slightly. “I’d still go even without you guys—”

“That’s none of our business.” Du Yue interrupted him. “You’re bringing us there, so we should pay you.” After Du Yue said that, she looked away from him and did not take the biscuits from him.

Du Yue had given him a large bag of compressed biscuits. This bag of biscuits was enough for an adult to eat for two days. Xiang Nan rubbed the biscuits in his hands, but he still did not open the bag. His gaze fell on the clean bag, and his eyes were filled with regret as well as a faint sense of nostalgia. Du Yue was munching on a biscuit, observing Xiang Nan out of the corner of her eye. The feeling this man gave her was a little dispirited and sad. She saw that he did not care much about food and clothing. Only when revenge was mentioned would his eyes light up a little.

Du Yue did not know what Xiang Nan was thinking at the moment, but her woman’s intuition told her that his hatred for that person must have come from someone who Xiang Nan cared about very much.

Du Yue ate a few mouthfuls of the biscuit and drank a few mouthfuls of water. She was finally full and stopped eating. After all, the compressed biscuits did not taste good. He Xing did not eat much either. He was not hungry anymore after drinking some water. After eating and drinking to their hearts’ content, Du Yue looked at Xiang Nan. His face was a little pale, and his lips were dry and bleeding. Du Yue paused for a moment. In the end, she reached into her backpack and took out a mineral water bottle that was filled with water.
