Chapter 67: Don’t Think That You Have a Backer

However, Du Yue had never expected that someone would plot against her instead of fighting for resources with others. That night, Du Yue had already fallen asleep. However, she was suddenly awoken by a series of clashing sounds. At first, Du Yue thought that there were just people outside and did not pay much attention to it.

However, a few minutes later, she realized that something was wrong. The sound was getting louder and clearer. It was obvious that it was coming from a place not far from her. In the darkness, Du Yue slowly opened her eyes. There was no trace of sleepiness in her eyes, only cold clarity. It was pitch-black in front of her, and she could not see anything. Du Yue’s hearing had become more sensitive. She could tell that the sounds were coming from the iron gate where she and He Xing had set up at the staircase.

After confirming the source of the sound, Du Yue sat up and put on her clothes. As she was about to leave the house, Du Yue did not wear her pajamas. Instead, she put on a down jacket over her sweater. She even put on a military coat over the down jacket when she felt that it was not enough.

For the sake of convenience, she did not wear her snow boots anymore. Instead, she found a pair of cotton leather boots. After putting on her hat, mask, and gloves, everything was ready. Du Yue opened the door and walked out.

When she reached the entrance, she could hear the voices outside clearly. “Hey, be gentler. Don’t let that woman wake up, or our efforts will be wasted if she finds out!”

“Mom! Don’t be afraid. So what if she finds out? How can Big Brother and I not be able to defeat a little girl?”

“That’s right. Mom, don’t worry. You can rest at the side. We’ll go up together later. If she really dares to come out, we won’t show any mercy!”

“It’s really strange. I’ve never seen that girl go out to work. Where did she get so many contribution points to rent such a house?”

“Mom, what’s so strange about that? What else could a pretty and unarmed girl like her use to exchange for contribution points other than her own body? After I deal with her, not only will her supplies be ours, but her contribution points too!”

At the entrance, Du Yue quietly listened to the conversation between the mother and her two children outside. Her eyes were slowly filled with disdain, though she was smiling. The anti-theft gate creaked open slowly. The sound was not loud, but in the silent night, it could be heard clearly.

The mother and the two children, who had been discussing excitedly just a moment ago, were all stunned when they heard the door open. When they saw the neatly dressed Du Yue with clear eyes, the three of them stopped what they were doing and stared at her in a daze.

The first to snap out of their daze was the middle-aged woman that Du Yue had seen before. She laughed dryly. “L-Little girl, why are you out so late? These two are my sons, Da Biao and Er Biao. We’re just being kind and wanted to help you check if this gate is sturdy.”

Du Yue did not respond. She almost laughed out of anger at her ridiculous remarks.

“Mom! You don’t have to explain things to her!” Da Biao said in frustration. He slammed the plier in his hand on the iron gate and gritted his teeth at Du Yue. “You’d better be smart and open the gate for us. If you don’t, I’ll smash it open later and make sure you’ll have a good time!”

Er Biao, who was at the side, also had a fierce look on his face. “If you want to live, then quickly give us all the supplies in your house! if you’re obedient, we’ll let you live. But if you don’t know what’s good for you and want to resist, then don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

Du Yue chuckled. “What do you mean by cruel and merciless?”

“It’s a world of ice and snow outside.” Er Biao laughed sinisterly. “I see that you’re quite pretty. After we’re done having fun, we’ll throw you into some random mountain forest. By the time others find you, I’m afraid you’ll have frozen into a snowman. Don’t you think so?”

“You’re still in the mood to laugh? You can’t be thinking that you have a backer, right? Hehe, the man next door can’t help you. He went out this afternoon, and there’s been no sign of him until now. He must have frozen to death next to some trash can. However, we brothers aren’t rough people who don’t know how to show tenderness to women. As long as you obediently cooperate and let us brothers have a good time, we’ll be merciful and leave you some food!”

Du Yue stood at the door of her house and looked down at them. Her eyes were filled with disdain and a bone-piercing chill.
