Chapter 43: The Bald Robbers Who Blocked the Road

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After exiting the base, Du Yue saw that there was still a long line of vehicles outside the base, extending into the distance that she could not see. Those should be the people who came from far places. It had taken them some time to get here after receiving the news.

Du Yue did not stay any longer. She drove off in the direction she planned. She only had one purpose for leaving the base this time, which was to bring back seeds and other foods to exchange for contribution points. In addition to this, she also had to find the iron gate from her interspace and put it on the roof of the car to bring it back with her.

Originally, she had only planned to circle the base and dawdle for some time before returning at around one o ‘clock. However, she did not expect to see the road ahead covered with dense iron nails not long after she drove out. Du Yue quickly stepped on the brakes and looked back through the rearview mirror. She did not know when a car had stopped at the intersection behind her, but it had completely blocked the intersection she was on. Seeing this scene, Du Yue’s guess was confirmed. She had encountered a robbery.

In the apocalyptic world, it was not uncommon for robbers to block the road. However, they were less than three kilometers away from the base. Du Yue never expected someone to block the road here. There was farmland on the side of the road, and the road was much higher than the farmland. There were also tall poplar trees planted on the side of the road. Even though the poplar trees had almost withered from the strong sun, one would still get injured if one crashed into them directly.

Du Yue’s lips twitched. Since she could not avoid these robbers, she would face them bravely. What was that saying again? When enemies met on a narrow road, the brave party would win. Before Du Yue could do anything, three burly men emerged from behind the trees on the side of the road. She turned around subconsciously and saw three men getting out of the car behind her. All six of them were muscular. They wore long black shirts and long pants. They were all bald.

Not long after the apocalypse, many men chose to shave their heads, and even women cut their long hair to ear-length. The weather was hot, and water was getting scarcer and scarcer. The other bases did not even have enough drinking water, so how could the residents have the luxury of using water to wash their hair? They could not wash their hair, and the weather was hot. It did not feel good to have their hair stuck together after sweating, so many women eventually shaved their heads.

In the face of survival, no one would have the luxury of choosing to have a beautiful appearance.

Du Yue looked at the six bald men. She was not in a hurry to get out of the car. Instead, she sat in the car and sized them up seriously. With the help of the car lights, Du Yue could clearly see the few of them. After making sure that they were not wielding any hot weapons and only some cold weapons such as long blades and daggers, Du Yue turned around and pulled out her Tang sword from the back seat.

The group of men was walking toward her at a steady pace with casual smiles on their faces as if they were enjoying the fun of playing with their prey. By the time Du Yue opened the door and got out of the car, they were already less than five meters away from her.

When they saw that the person who got out of the car was a weak little girl, the group of people revealed malicious smiles at the same time.

“It seems that we’re very lucky today. We actually encountered a young lady who’s as beautiful as a flower.”

Tsk, tsk, tsk. The men could not help but drool when they saw her curvy figure.

“Little lady, we don’t want to hurt you, so you should take the initiative to throw the thing in your hand to the side. If you obediently listen to us, you’ll suffer less.”

Du Yue ignored the disgusting words around her and pulled out her Tang sword. The Tang sword shone with a cold light. Anyone who had a sharp eye would know at a glance that it was worth a lot. The bald men did not expect that Du Yue would dare to take out her weapon first when she was facing them alone. They were stunned for a moment. However, they soon came back to their senses and began to laugh at her mercilessly. “Little lady, you actually dare to play with knives and guns! Aren’t you afraid of hurting yourself?”

“Little Beauty, I’m giving you a piece of advice out of goodwill. You’re not my match, so quickly put away your sword. That’s not something you can play with.”

“Great! I didn’t expect to catch a wild cat today. I like wild ones. In a while, I’ll definitely dote on you.”

The few of them spoke one after another. Every word they said was filled with provocation and insult. As Du Yue listened, the coldness in her eyes became more obvious. The last person who spoke to her like that had already been sent to hell by her.

Since this group of bald men did not want to live good lives and insisted on provoking her, she did not mind sending them on their way and letting them reunite in the king of hell’s palace. Du Yue held her Tang sword in one hand and searched for her car keys in her pocket with the other. She turned off the lights. As the off-road vehicle’s lights went out, the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
