Humans are contradictory. Even those who dislike bloodshed may lose control and become addicted to killing if they engage in too much violence.
The two of them did not make any unnecessary movements, obediently followed the instructions, and went to prepare the things that Li Ke needed.
After Li Ke took Chen Nanxing onto the spare fuel-powered boat, Xia Qing and Meng Yu helped her load her things onto the boat before asking with concern, "Are you sure you want to take her alone? I don't know what you're going to do, but Li Ke, many hands make light work."
Li Ke coldly replied, "Without me, could you have eliminated everyone on the ship and escaped without any casualties?"
Xia Qing and Meng Yu looked embarrassed. Lately, Li Ke had been like a heartless machine that looked down on everyone.
"Stop being foolish and sending others to their deaths with you. Xiao Yi is not someone you can save by just a few people. Go back to Xia Ji and follow their instructions." After saying this, Li Ke urged them back to the submarine.
With her last bit of courage, Xia Qing asked, "Did Chen Nanxing say anything about Xiao Yi's current situation? If you know, could you tell me?"
Looking into her hopeful eyes, Li Ke said, "He might not even be alive. Don't have too much hope."
Chen Nanxing only had a few photos of Xiao Yi; she didn't know much about the specifics.
She deduced that the prisoners captured there had many uses. The less valuable ones would be sent to the most dangerous mines to mine, while the more valuable ones could be sold or kept for personal use.
It's hard to judge Xiao Yi's value. He might be mining in the mines, since he's practically a cripple, but he could also be somewhere else, since he's a very capable evolved human.
Li Ke looked at those photos, and Xiao Yi in them really looked terrible. He never opened his eyes when facing the camera.
Based on the ambiguous information provided by Chen Nanxing, Li Ke's statement to Xia Qing that he might be dead wasn't entirely a lie.
Xia Qing and Meng Yu stood on the deck, watching Li Ke's ship sail away until it disappeared on the horizon. Only then did Meng Yu speak, "Let's go back and release the others."
It was too cold on the deck. Meng Yu sensed that the weather was about to change again. Li Ke was in the small boat. She was actually quite worried, but when she thought of Li Ke's cold demeanor, Meng Yu felt that she was worrying unnecessarily.
Li Ke's aura was too strong, so strong that it seemed he could handle everything. Meng Yu knew that even if she spoke, it wouldn't change the outcome.
Xia Qing shook her head: "No, let's move those people's bodies out and throw them away first, clean up that room, remove these things, and then release the others."
