287 Stay Away From This Troublesome Place

After Du Yue’s question, everyone fell silent. Who would want to die after surviving the tsunami? Besides, why should they use their own lives to exchange for food for these people who were not related to them? They were not fools. Seeing that they were all hesitating and taking a few steps back, Du Yue raised her chin at them. “If no one is willing to sacrifice themselves for everyone, then please make way.”

No one moved. Du Yue did not rush them either. She just held her gun and waited for them quietly. At that moment, a skinny man suddenly emerged from the crowd and pounced on Du Yue. Just as Du Yue was about to shoot, Yu Xinya rushed toward the man and kicked him in the chest. Yu Xinya’s kick sent him flying a few meters away. He fell to the ground and could not get up.

Yu Xinya stood between the crowd and Du Yue. Her eyes were filled with gloominess and fierceness that Du Yue had never seen before. I’m the chief of Sunshine Base. If you have any problems, come at me. If you’re still men, then don’t go and bully the little girl!”

The people in the second base were speechless. Which little girl would hold a submachine gun and confront so many people without any fear?

No matter what, continuing this confrontation was not a solution. A chubby middle-aged woman stood up and smiled at Yu Xinya. “Sister, let’s calm down. We’re actually not bad people. We just have no choice. We don’t have any food on hand, so we can only wait for the base to send us dry biscuits or buns every day. Those can’t even fill our stomachs. For us middle-aged people, it’s fine if we’re a little hungry. The hunger will pass after a while. But the children can’t take it! My son is so hungry that he cries every night and can’t even sleep. As a mother, I really can’t help it when I see my child go hungry until he’s only skin and bones…” As the woman spoke, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, making her look very pitiful.

Yu Xinya snorted and was not swayed at all. “Madam, you’re so old. Your son must be at least 20 years old, right? Besides, your Captain Guan said today that he would arrange work for you in the future. Your days of hunger will be over soon. Why can’t you bear it for the next two days? I don’t see any of you on the brink of starving to death. Robbery is robbery. Don’t try to use moral coercion by saying some grand principles. We’re not fools. Who are you putting on an act for?”

The fat woman obviously did not expect the gentle-looking Yu Xinya to be so stubborn. She was a little flustered after being exposed. “We’re all women. Why don’t you have any sympathy at all?”

Yu Xinya’s face was still cold. “Yes, I don’t have it. What are you gonna do about it?”

The fat woman did not dare to do anything to Yu Xinya. She thought that they had more people while Yu Xinya’s base had fewer people, so she wanted to rob them. However, who would have thought that each and every one of them was either brandishing their weapons or being overbearing? There was not a single pushover among them.

Du Yue looked at Yu Xinya, who was shielding her behind her, and her eyes gradually softened. Other than He Xing, Yu Xinya was the first person to protect her. Du Yue stepped forward and stood beside Yu Xinya. “Stop talking nonsense. If you guys make way, we’ll drive away. If you insist on blocking us here, we’ll just drive over you. You guys can figure it out on your own!”

Du Yue was clearly threatening them, but none of them dared to refute her. Although they wanted to pick on the weak and snatch some food, it was obvious that they had provoked the wrong people. As the crowd dispersed, Yu Xinya immediately ran to Wan Dapeng’s side. “Dapeng, are you hurt? They didn’t make a move, did they?”

Wan Dapeng scratched his head. “It’s okay, I have a gun in my hand. They won’t dare to do anything.”

Hearing Wan Dapeng’s answer, Yu Xinya was relieved. If someone died just because she left for a short while, she would regret it for the rest of her life. There were more important things to do. Yu Xinya and Wan Dapeng exchanged a few words, then she asked the people from Sunshine Base to get into their cars. It was more important to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
