Chapter 39: A Job Well Done

“What about you? Want to go in?” Chu Xihen asked Ling Yao.

The mute Ling Yao shook his head. “No, I don’t have any points. My ability is still useless. I’d rather stick with you.”

Mainly, he’d just seen Hu Gang and those other bastards inside. He didn’t have the ability to kill them yet. Going in would be suicide.

“Then we’ll be going now. Take care,” Chu Xihen said to Gao Lin.

He didn’t have any deep feelings for Gao Lin, but since they had met, Zhou Quan had indeed been good to him. He would treat it as repaying Zhou Quan.

“Thank you, thank you!” Gao Lin really wished he could kowtow to Lou Su and Chu Xihen to express his gratitude.

They were giving away points that others treated like treasures.

He secretly swore in his heart that if he could live to see them again, he would definitely repay their great kindness.

“If Han Chong enters the camp, please tell him that we have left,” Bai Jinli said politely to Gao Lin.

Gao Lin subconsciously replied, “Didn’t he go with Xihen to lure away the wolves?”

Bai Jinli immediately turned to look at Chu Xihen.

The latter said calmly, “We also separated. I don’t know where he went.”

After speaking, Chu Xihen turned to Gao Lin. “Hurry in and take care of Zhou Quan. Say goodbye to him for me.”

Gao Lin nodded, taking three steps forward and looking back with each step as he entered the base.

The middle-aged man stood in the distance for a long time, wanting to offer a few more words of advice, but he saw Lou Su and the other three turn around and disappear into the darkness.

Not far away, Bai Jinli couldn’t hold back what was on his mind.

“Xihen, did you kill Han Chong?” Bai Jinli had always firmly believed that Wan Ming’s death by the river was not an accident. Now that Han Chong had suddenly disappeared, he didn’t believe that Chu Xihen had nothing to do with it.

Chu Xihen generously admitted, “Yes, just like when I killed Wan Ming.”

Hearing this, Bai Jinli became even more suspicious. “You don’t have any abilities. How did you kill him? Where is his body?”

“Are you interrogating a prisoner?” Lou Su said coldly, “You said he doesn’t have any abilities. How could he kill Han Chong?”

“You don’t need abilities to kill someone,” Bai Jinli said firmly.

Lou Su retorted, “If someone with two abilities was killed by someone without any abilities, what’s the point of them being alive?”

“Aren’t you just being deliberately unreasonable? Han Chong was our teammate, wasn’t he? He just silently killed him. Are you not even willing to say a word of blame?” Bai Jinli said angrily, “He was spoiled by you. If you don’t want others to gossip about him, you should let him step out of his ivory tower!”

Bai Jinli had never stopped Han Chong from mocking Chu Xihen because he felt that while those words were harsh, they could inspire Chu Xihen to improve.

But now he realized that Chu Xihen was so useless because Lou Su indulged him.

Ling Yao, who had walked some distance away with Chu Xihen, couldn’t help but ask him, “Was that person talking about you?”

Saying that Chu Xihen was useless? Did Bai Jinli not have eyes or a brain?

“Maybe,” Chu Xihen said, looking at the two people arguing not far away. He suddenly had an idea and asked Ling Yao, “Do you think they look like a quarreling couple?”

Ling Yao shook his head. “No, you and Brother Lou are a better match. You’re better-looking than that guy.”

“Well said.” Chu Xihen immediately exchanged a loaf of bread from the store and placed it in Ling Yao’s hand. “Here’s a reward for you.”

He had heard Ling Yao’s stomach growling several times along the way, but he hadn’t found a chance to get some food.

Ling Yao held the bread in both hands, looking like he was about to cry. “Thank you, Brother Chu. You’re my real brother from now on. Whoever dares to offend you, I’ll bite them to death!”

As he said this, he glared fiercely at Bai Jinli in the distance. “Let’s start with that guy!”

Chu Xihen reached out and grabbed his collar. “Forget about him. You can’t win against him. Eat your food obediently. I’ll handle it.”

He walked forward, standing between the two with his arms crossed. “Han Chong’s body is in the forest where we encountered the wolves. You two are so close. It wouldn’t be right if you didn’t collect his body, would it? It’s almost dawn. If you don’t go soon, he’ll be dried up like a mummy when the sun comes out.”

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Jinli to react, he pulled Lou Su away.

Bai Jinli stood on the spot, unwillingly shouting at the retreating, tall figure, “Lou Su, you’ll regret it!”

He didn’t know why he was so unwilling, but he had a vague feeling that things shouldn’t be like this, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

Knowing that Lou Su’s heart and eyes were full of Chu Xihen, he still couldn’t help but want to get closer.

But it didn’t matter. The hard days ahead were long. He would see how long Lou Su could protect Chu Xihen.

Lou Su couldn’t see him now, so he would stand higher. One day, he would make Lou Su’s eyes only see him!

“Ah!” Chu Xihen, who had pulled Lou Su far away, suddenly sighed.

“What’s wrong?” Lou Su asked, puzzled.

He was very satisfied with Chu Xihen’s behavior just now, which at least proved that the other party wasn’t completely indifferent.

“I’ve become hated,” Chu Xihen said softly.

His actions had completely offended Bai Jinli.

Being resented by one of the male protagonists of this world was very bad luck.

Lou Su laughed. “Do you even care about that?”

In his eyes, Chu Xihen had a relaxed and casual attitude towards everything, whether it was others’ mockery and slander or the heavy crisis of the apocalypse. It seemed like nothing could touch his heart, including him. He had never truly entered Chu Xihen’s heart.

Chu Xihen said, “I don’t care.” Anyway, his life had always been on hell difficulty. He was used to it.

After that sentence, Lou Su didn’t say anything else. Chu Xihen endured for a while but couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you going to ask if I killed Han Chong?”

Ling Yao also glanced at Lou Su.

He wasn’t stupid. He could see that the relationship between the two was extraordinary. What if Lou Su wanted to know the truth and forced him to answer behind Chu Xihen’s back?

Should he proactively ask Chu Xihen for some medicine and poison himself into being mute as soon as possible?

“Did you kill him?” Lou Su asked smoothly.

Chu Xihen replied, “I killed him.”

Lou Su nodded, offering a comment. “A job well done.”

Chu Xihen: “…”

How was he supposed to respond to that?

Wan Ming and Han Chong both thought he was a liar. Although he had never intentionally wanted to deceive Lou Su, he was indeed not honest enough. He thought that with this opportunity, Lou Su should get to the bottom of things.

“Next time, just tell me directly if you want to kill someone.” Lou Su could see that Chu Xihen wasn’t useless. He just didn’t want to take action.

Over the past few days, he had been able to see Chu Xihen’s ability to adapt to situations in many details, especially after seeing him come out of the instance safely. Lou Su was even more certain of his guess.

Since Chu Xihen didn’t want to do it, he would take care of it. That’s how they had always been.

One day, he would make Chu Xihen actively tell him everything!
