Chapter 185 Scripted Phrases

"Go in first! Go in first! Once we take over this place, everything outside will be ours."

I didn't dare peek through the crack in the door, but I could hear heavy, labored sounds. It must have been two people helping each other climb over the wall.

My wall is so high, you can't climb it with your bare hands.

"Damn it! I can't get up there!"

Two muffled groans were heard, followed by the irritable woman bursting into profanity.

"Keep your voice down! You're afraid the people inside won't hear you!"

The sweet woman warned her in a low voice.

"Let's forget about it and go. It's too cold, I'm freezing!"

The hot-tempered woman backed out.

"We wasted so much fuel and left with nothing? We've been watching this place for so long, and the chimneys are always smoking. They must have a lot of food. The people at the Baizhen base know us now, so we won't be able to go there anytime soon. We absolutely can't let this place go!"

The sweet woman insisted on not leaving.

My eyes lit up immediately when I heard what she said: There's a car! There's gas!

If they know what's good for them and leave on their own, fine. But if they insist on taking everything from me, don't blame me for taking their car and gas without hesitation!

It sounded like this wasn't their first time; they seemed like seasoned con artists who frequently committed fraud, murder, and robbery. I had to be very careful.

I shifted my legs, which were a little numb from the cold, and continued listening to the useful information.

A volatile woman's voice, filled with despair, rang out: "I'm out of options, keep shouting."

"Help! Is anyone there? Help!"

The sweet, innocent voice rang out again, but this time it was loud and clear, making my head spin.

I shouted four or five times in a row, but it still didn't stop. I was getting really cold, so I decided to stop dawdling and get this over with quickly.

He returned to the house by the same route, and first warmed his frozen hands by the stove to avoid misfiring when firing the crossbow.

Worried that the two of them might actually crawl in, I only grilled for a short while, shook my fingers and felt they were still quite nimble. I put on a hat, gloves, and a mask, and seeing myself in the mirror where I couldn't tell if I was male or female, I confidently pushed open the door and went out.

I deliberately didn't wear a scarf, afraid it would affect my performance.

He strode to the gate and shone his flashlight through it. Through the crack in the gate, he could vaguely see the two women.

Both of them were wearing thick military overcoats. As soon as they heard me come out, one of them said, "Kind person, can you help us, my sister and I? We're lost here and we're about to freeze to death."

I carefully examined the two people through the crack in the door. The one who spoke had fair skin and was the woman with the sweet voice.

The guy next to him is taller and has a more imposing appearance, but his eyes are too close together, making him look like a tough character.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the two women exchanged a glance, and the woman continued, "As long as you can take us in and let us inside to warm up, we'll do anything!"

As she spoke, the woman turned her pale face outwards, seemingly to let the people inside see her features clearly.

Undeniably, she is indeed beautiful.

It's no easy feat to maintain such a fair and beautiful face even after so long in the apocalypse.

It's likely that she relied on her beauty to gain favor with others and obtain resources.

Little Gua was sleeping inside when it probably heard a noise outside. It pawed open the windshield door and ran out.

Just a few seconds later, a fierce bark rang out behind them.

"Oh my, you keep dogs, brother. Why don't you take us in? Just let us stay for one night and we'll leave tomorrow morning. Anyway, you have dogs at home, so we won't do anything bad."

She indeed mistook me for a man, and her voice became even weaker and more helpless, trying to confuse me.

I initially intended to shoot them without a second thought, but their conversation mentioned the White Town base, and I had to find out if they were a group and what they had done to the White Town base.

"Where did you two come from?"

The two women were visibly taken aback when I opened my mouth.

The sweet-looking woman was the first to react, and replied, "Oh, it's you, sister! That's wonderful! We were worried that the man would try something with us, but since we're both women, let's help each other out. Please let us in for the night. Our hands and feet are frostbitten. We beg you to save our lives. We will definitely repay you, sister."

I couldn't be bothered to listen to her excuse, so I repeated myself: "I said, where did you two come from?"

The sweet-looking woman seemed to have just heard clearly and immediately replied, "Oh right, we came from the White Town base. We got lost while searching for supplies and unknowingly ended up near your house."

How long did it take to walk from the Baizhen base to my house?

When I asked her that, she seemed flustered and stammered, "Um, it was probably a few hours, I can't remember exactly, we were just so cold..."

"lie!"

I shouted angrily and fired the crossbow in my hand, piercing the sweet woman's calf.

"ah!"

The sweet-looking woman screamed and collapsed to her knees.

"You're fucking insane!"

Seeing the sweet-looking woman injured, the irritable woman yelled at me, reaching into her pocket and pulling out something that gleamed silver.

It looked like a gun. I quickly dodged and climbed to the small opening in the wall.

The light was dim, and the irritable woman probably didn't see that I had changed positions. The bullet went straight in through the crack in the door, sparking as it struck the red bricks in the courtyard.

Looking at the little melon not far from the bullet, my heart skipped a beat.

Steady his figure, he aimed through a small opening in the wall and shot an arrow through the arm of the irritable woman.

Then he fired a second arrow without hesitation, piercing her calf.

Another scream rang out, and the irritable woman also knelt on the ground.

Yeah, I'm crazy, the kind of person who'd kill someone at the drop of a hat.

"Stop! Stop!"

The irritable woman knelt on the ground, screaming as if begging or in despair.

I dodged the small opening in the wall and hid behind it, saying, "Tell me, where did you come from? I promised to spare your lives."

"Ah, yes, yes..."

The sweet woman stammered as she spoke, her hand stealthily moving towards the pistol on the ground.

She really wasn't honest, so I had to waste another arrow, shooting her right hand through.

Another scream rang out. I asked, "Are you behaving now?"

The sweet woman answered in a trembling voice, "I'll be honest, I'll be honest."

I started to get impatient: "Then hurry up and tell me."

"We...we were from the Eagle Base, but we were kicked out and came out to find supplies on our own..."

Eagle Base is another base besides White Town Base.

It seemed to be a small group committing the crime. After understanding the situation, I interrupted her directly: "What is your relationship with the Baizhen base?"

Presumably seeing my excessive focus on the White Town base, the sweet woman assumed I had a grudge against it, and frantically shook her head: "We have nothing to do with each other, really nothing to do with each other."
