母蜂的复仇

“What did you just say? You won’t let us in? On what basis? This isn’t your territory. This place belongs to everyone. Why can you enter but not us? Our teammate is injured and the lobby is too noisy. He won’t be able to rest well there.”

“Then go and find other rooms. This resort is very big and has a lot of empty rooms.”

“Look outside. It’s completely dark and so cold. If we find another room and start a fire, the injured will probably be dead by the time we settle down.”

!!

He Xing’s expression was indifferent. “So what does this have to do with me?”

“What kind of attitude is this? We’re all from the same base, and we’re in the wilderness now. Shouldn’t we help each other?”

“Who told you that it’s only right we help each other? Am I your father or your grandfather? Why should I help you?” He Xing was getting impatient.

“You won’t listen to me no matter what I say, right? Then don’t blame me for being impolite.” The man outside the door said through gritted teeth as he swung his fist at He Xing’s face. However, his fist was caught by He Xing in mid-air, and he could not move at all.

He Xing stood lazily by the door and pushed the man out with a little force. The man stumbled backward and knocked into the people behind him, causing several screams.

“Have you had enough, scraggly dogs? Get out of here while I’m still in a good mood, or else…” He Xing sneered. He did not finish his sentence, but the people standing outside the door suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back. That feeling was even more bone-piercing than the cold wind and snow blowing on their bodies.

The group of people looked at each other, and no one dared to speak again. In the end, they turned around and returned to the lobby. He Xing only retracted his gaze after watching them enter the lobby.

He Xing saw Du Yue standing behind him as soon as he turned around. “It’s fine now. You should go back to sleep.” He Xing’s tone was comforting.

Du Yue shook her head. “Someone from that group of people earlier is indeed injured. I could smell a very strong scent of blood.”

Hearing this, He Xing’s expression gradually turned serious. Although those people did not say how their teammate got injured, there was an 80 to 90 percent chance that they got injured from fighting with wild animals. They were lucky to be able to escape, but to the resort, it was likely to be a great disaster.

Those who were attacked by the wild animals previously had all lost their lives, but they were only injured. Was this because they were lucky and had good martial arts skills, or were the wild animals setting a long line to catch a big fish? Just the thought of it made one feel cold. This was no small matter. If it was as they thought, then tonight, the holiday villa was destined to be a bloody disaster.

He Xing’s tone also became serious. “You stay here and don’t move. I’ll go look for Captain Zuo.”

“Alright,” she said.

After He Xing left, Du Yue kept her sleeping bag in her hiking bag. She looked at her pocket watch. She did not sleep for long, only about an hour. However, her energy was indeed much better than before she slept.

Du Yue looked at the fire that was burning brightly, and doubts rose in her heart. When she was sleeping just now, she felt the temperature around her rising very quickly, and she slept very comfortably. However, she had only woken up for a short while and the temperature in the room had obviously dropped quite a bit. Could it be that her sleeping bag was that good at keeping her warm?

Before Du Yue could come up with an answer, He Xing had already returned in a hurry. “I’ve told Captain Zuo about our speculation. He said that he’ll arrange for more people to keep watch tonight.”

Du Yue nodded in agreement. Their thoughts just now were just their guesses. All they could do was remind Captain Zuo. As for whether he would listen to them or not, it was not up to them. Even if he did not take it seriously and caused irreparable losses in the end, they had already done their best.

The two of them did not speak again. They just leaned against their backpacks and continued to rest. Time slowly passed. The only sounds in the room were the crackling of sparks as the firewood burned and the steady breathing of the two people. After about an hour, it was already nine o’clock in the evening.
