Chapter 123: Leave a Whole Body

Qiao Yu and the other four buried Yin Qing on the spot under the mutant tree she leaned against before her death.

They didn't erect a tombstone for her, but when she was buried, Qiao Yu placed five plum candies next to her.

It represents the five of them’s best wishes for her.

I hope she can live a happier life in her next life.

After dealing with Yin Qing's body, Qiao Yu went to Yin Ji's body and had Wang Zha burn it. He then took his ashes to a place far away from Yin Qing and scattered them all.

Grind his bones and scatter his ashes. This way, he won't have anything to do with Yin Qing in his next life, right?

Qiao Yu's eyelashes drooped slightly.

A scumbag like Yin Ji is not worthy of being Yin Qing's father.

From his cold-eyed observation during the battle at the beginning to his later abuse of Yin Qing, it was enough to prove that his regret before his death was just a show he performed to stay alive.

Crocodile tears are not worth believing.

Qiao Yu recalled Yin Qing's madness during the battle and his relief when he was seriously injured later, and felt an unbearable bitterness in his heart.

Perhaps from the very beginning, she never thought about going back alive.

"What should we do with those people in the village?" Cheng Sinian looked at Qiao Yu and asked in a low voice.

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and replied nonchalantly, "Release all the imprisoned women and let them make their own choices. Don't worry about the men who are working; let them fend for themselves. As for Liu Da..."

Qiao Yu took Jiang Zhan's hand and looked into his eyes. "Zhan, considering that he has behaved well these past two days, please give him an intact body, okay?"

She had promised Jiang Zhan that Yin Zhixiong and Liu Dadu would be handed over to him for disposal.

However, considering that Liu Da had been relatively honest these past two days, she reluctantly pleaded for him.

After all, if Jiang Zhan were to solve the problem on his own... Liu Da would definitely not die so easily.

Jiang Zhan's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed a little reluctant. But seeing Qiao Yu's coquettish look, his heart softened, and he finally nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Yu Qingchuan shuddered silently beside him.

Is it considered a "special favor" now even to leave the body intact?

The five of them returned to Nanliu Village with Wang Zha.

As soon as I returned to the village entrance, I saw Liu Da tied up and hanging upside down on a tree.

A piece of rag was stuffed in his mouth, and he was making "woohoo" sounds for help.

While Qiao Yu was still in a daze, Lin Yingjie came over and said, "Boss Jiang, Boss Qiao, you're back!"

Seeing Qiao Yu staring at Liu Da, Lin Yingjie couldn't help but hesitate, "Boss Qiao... this guy just kept trying to slip away, and we had no choice but to hang him up... Did we... do something wrong?"

"Ah, it's okay." Qiao Yu came back to his senses and shook his head.

She was just marveling at the way they tied people up.

Lin Yingjie and the others must have gone to the village to get a blanket or bed sheet, and used the cloth to completely wrap Liu Da's body. Now hanging upside down, it looked like a giant silkworm chrysalis.

"Is there anything unusual in the village?" Qiao Yu asked in a low voice.

"No. Everything is fine."

"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and signaled with his eyes that Jiang Zhan could take action against Liu Da.

Jiang Zhan stood under the tree, looked up at Liu Da above him, and suddenly a gun appeared in his hand.

Seeing this, Liu Da's eyes widened in horror. He didn't even bother to think about how the gun appeared out of thin air. He looked at Qiao Yu the first time, and the "wuwu" sound in his mouth became louder.

As if by some strange coincidence, Qiao Yu actually understood what he said.

He was asking: "Didn't you agree that you would let me go?"

Qiao Yu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, a sly smile of a successful prank flashed in his eyes, "Yes, I said I would let you go. That's why I didn't do it..."

Qiao Yu spread his hands.

She had indeed done what she promised him. It was clearly Jiang Zhan who did it.

"Just be content." Cheng Sinian crossed his arms and spoke lazily, "Our boss even pleaded for mercy on your behalf so that you could have an intact body!"

Liu Da widened his eyes in disbelief.

From the sound of this, he should thank her?

With a gunshot, Liu Da was killed cleanly and neatly.

The corpse was hanging on the tree and dangling, and it looked like a hanged ghost no matter how you looked at it.

But this is also good.

Just think of it as a little lesson for the rest of the people in the village.

After dealing with Liu Da, Qiao Yu and the other four went to the prison in the northwest corner of the village.

The house was not very big, but it held nearly a hundred women.

When they reached the door, Jiang Zhan, Cheng Sinian and Yu Qingchuan stopped very consciously and only let Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen in.

When Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen opened the door, the women thought that another "guest" had come to pick someone.

Their expressions varied. Some had blank, numb eyes, sitting there motionless and silent; others huddled together in groups of two or three, lowering their heads in fear and trembling slightly.

When they saw that there were two women coming in, the women who were originally afraid raised their heads timidly.

"Don't be afraid." Qiao Yu comforted them softly, "Those who imprisoned you are already dead."

The women remained silent upon hearing this, but a flicker of surprise crossed their faces. Even those who had been numb to the point of expressionlessness lifted their heads and looked towards Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen.

"I will let you out." Qiao Yu continued, "You can choose to stay here, or you can choose to go with us to the survivor base in City G."

"But I must state in advance that no matter which one you choose, you will be responsible for your own food, clothing, and safety."

"You now have half an hour to think it over carefully. If you have thought it through and decided to go with us, go to the village entrance and pick up a car."

"Remember, it's only half an hour."

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left with Luo Zhenzhen.

"Sister Qiao, aren't there too many people here?" After leaving the door, Luo Zhenzhen whispered in Qiao Yu's ear.

"It's okay. I'm sure not everyone will come with us."

Just like the men who were treated as “animals.”

Some people, after being kept in captivity for too long, will lose the courage and confidence to explore the unknown.

Sure enough, as Qiao Yu expected, not all women were willing to leave.

In the end, there were less than thirty women who decided to leave with the convoy.

After the convoy set off, Cheng Sinian keenly noticed that Luo Zhenzhen seemed a little depressed.

"Why are you unhappy?" Cheng Sinian sat behind Luo Zhenzhen, hugged her in his arms, and rubbed her forehead with his chin.

Luo Zhenzhen shook her head and forced a smile, "I just didn't expect... that so few women would decide to leave the village..."

Hearing this, Cheng Sinian patted her head and said, "Perhaps you don't trust us enough. But everyone has their own aspirations, and not all girls are as strong and courageous as you and Qiao Yu. We must respect everyone's choice."

"Hmm..." Luo Zhenzhen nodded.

That's right. In fact, she was just lucky. She happened to awaken her natural ability and met Sister Qiao and Cheng Sinian.

Seeing that Luo Zhenzhen still looked unhappy, Cheng Sinian took out two pieces of butterfly cakes from the space and suddenly held them in front of Luo Zhenzhen.

Luo Zhenzhen smiled, "Why do you still have some?"

"I asked Qiao Yu for it! I have no choice, my wife loves it!"

Cheng Sinian looked like a scoundrel with a righteous look on his face. He leaned over and kissed Luo Zhenzhen on the lips, "Eat quickly. You can't be unhappy anymore after you finish eating!"

Luo Zhenzhen blushed slightly, lowered her head and picked up a piece, biting it in small bites, with a sweet curve at the corner of her mouth.

She is really a very lucky person.
