Back to the Apocalypse

Chapter 83

"This group of people blocked the road and tried to rob us. They said that they're with you." Bai Jing's expression turned cold as he immediately spoke up. He didn't have as many scruples as Xiao Sa did. In any case, he had always been bad-tempered, and he wanted to see what the person in front of them had to say.

Chu Yi looked at the robbers carefully, the threat evident in his eyes. He turned his head towards Bai Jing and replied, "They look somewhat familiar, but I don't remember them. Quite a few people flow through our base. Right, I heard that a team headed to Jing Sa City just the day before yesterday. By the way, where are you guys from? How did you encounter them? It's well known that the area around Jing Sa City is quite secure. Even we've been able to benefit from it."

Bai Jing was angered into amusement. Looking at his words, he not only took the opportunity to praise Jing Sa City, but also inquired about their origins in a roundabout way. On the way here, he wanted to have a big fight; not only did he want to drive the group of fugitives outside of Jing Sa City's management scope range, he also wanted them to compensate him with all their supplies while beating their leader to death. For them to try and poach in their territory, they must really not want to live. Who could've known that as soon as they arrived, the place had already been picked clean? Even if they wanted to kill them off for their wealth, they didn't know who the space ability user was, and would have no way to obtain anything even if they slaughtered everyone.

Moreover, the most depressing thing for Bai Jing was the way this person talked. Seeing this person treating them so nicely, with a polite tone of voice, and such conscientiousness, if he were to make trouble right now, he would turn into the bully. And the most hateful thing were the bandits behind him. Hadn't they been able to talk before? How come they'd turned mute now? Making it so that he couldn't go up or down; he had a bellyful of rage that had nowhere to vent.

They took in anybody who looked decent. Knowing that they were level one ability users, they didn't dare to be too unbridled. Their thoughts were buried deeply in their heads as they tried to figure out where these two people had come from. The person smiled and spoke again. "Excuse me, sirs. Was there anything else? Would you like to come and register?"

His tone was completely formulaic and made people feel like they had just punched cotton. For the first time, Bai Jing felt his teeth hurt from gritting them too hard in frustration.

Xiao Sa understood very clearly that these robbers had been abandoned by the base. They were determined not to acknowledge them, and even the robbers themselves refused to admit to having done anything. He couldn't beat them up to make them confess or force charges on other people's heads. Only, the threatening gaze that that person had given them just now had been done right under his nose. They were really treating him as though he was blind!

"I want to see your boss." Xiao Sa's voice sank as he spoke. He felt really stifled and really couldn't understand why the boss of this base would be so bad at managing his people and do foolish things like road-blocking and robbery when he appeared to be rather intelligent.

"Our boss is very busy, but since there are people who are pretending to be from our base that are blocking the road and robbing people, you two gentlemen can rest assured that this matter will be handled properly. I don't know if you are..." The person paused and then said, "May I have your name, please? So I can go in and inform the boss."

Well, what they said was reasonable. If they didn't give their names and origins now, they'd appear unreasonable. This was the first time the two of them had suffered losses through the exchange of words since the apocalypse started. They were used to having everything go smoothly; Xiao Sa found himself a little interested. To tell the truth, he really wanted to meet their boss. It was obvious that this person was really talented.
