Chapter 109 No Regrets
As his piercing screams echoed, a mechanical voice rang in his ears: "According to the Thirteenth Law of the Machine Race, when an intelligent race threatens the personal safety of other citizens, the threatened citizen may be injured without harming the other party's life."
Just as Zuo Shan grabbed his neck, she tightened her grip on the dagger and, without hesitation, stabbed him in the left waist.
As a result, the lewd man suffered the pain of a severed wrist and a pierced left kidney almost simultaneously, and immediately collapsed to the ground screaming in agony.
Pandora caught up from behind, holding a large rock in her hand, and smashed it against his head. She was worried that this man would harm her sister when he got up.
The lewd man is dead!
Now that things had started, Zuo Shan felt there was no need to hold back any longer. She quickly ran to the dirty man's side, and the man, who had just turned over and was about to get up and run away, suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes.
The next second, a chill ran down his neck, and as blood spurted out, he belatedly felt the stinging pain in his neck.
Without pausing for even half a second, Zuo Shan rushed to the woman under the tree, who seemed to be dead or alive, and slit her throat again.
Thanks to the countless television shows she had watched in her previous life, she knew that to kill someone, you had to kill them so that they had no chance of coming back to life, and the simplest way was to slit their throat.
None of these three were innocent. From the moment the woman said that the lewd man liked to eat young girls, she had already branded them with the mark of death.
Mao Li dutifully advised, "Master, it is wrong to take a citizen's life at will. Next time you encounter this situation, you should hand the person over to the judicial authorities so that the law can punish them."
"Check if anyone is spying within a 200-meter radius," Zuo Shan ordered, too lazy to argue with him.
"No, Master." Although Mao Li was a law-abiding citizen of the interstellar space, he didn't want his master's illegal behavior to be seen by others and thus get into trouble. So he checked the surroundings from the beginning before issuing the attack command to Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao didn't seem to care, it just wrinkled its nose; it didn't like the smell of blood.
Zuo Shan also loathed the smell of blood. She was pregnant and hadn't been able to think about it when she was tense killing someone, but now that she relaxed a little, she couldn't help but start to vomit.
She directed Pandora and Maoli to put the three corpses into the sealed plastic bags she had brought, and then had Xiaobao store them in his spatial storage.
She then shoveled some loose soil to cover the surrounding bloodstains.
After this accident, both she and Pandora had bloodstains on their clothes, so they certainly couldn't just swagger back now.
Zuo Shan flipped through the map and discovered that she could reach the upper reaches of the river from another direction by bypassing this collection point. She decided to take the detour, dump the body in the river, and wash the blood off her clothes.
However, before that, they had to find a shady spot to rest, because the period of high radiation was about to begin.
When the trio of evil spirits left with Zuo Shan and the others, many scavengers who coveted their fish saw it, but no one dared to step forward and try to steal it.
Who could afford to mess with those three ruthless and fearless desperados?
They didn't even have the courage to come and watch the spectacle. After all, those two men had raped countless female scavengers, and who knew if watching such a thing would give them styes.
But if they find out, getting a beating would be the least of your worries; you might even lose all the food you got today.
So everyone at that collection point stayed far away, and after hearing faint screams, no one dared to come any closer.
Of course, when they later discovered that the trio of evil spirits had not appeared for a long time, they also thought of the screams they had heard at the time, but no one would take the initiative to report such a thing to the administrator.
Those three ruthless bullies, who cares whether they live or die? They're dead, so be it, they deserved it!
On the other side, after hearing Mao Li's report, Zuo Shan felt relieved. She even made sure to exchange statements with Pan Duole while taking a detour to the upper reaches of the river.
"If anyone asks you in the future, just say that those three people stole all our loot that day and then left without a trace. As for why they didn't return to their lodgings, you have no idea. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I remember, I remember, I remember it clearly!" Pan Duole's teeth chattered, but he still nodded vigorously.
When she picked up the stone and smashed it on the lewd man's head, she didn't hesitate for a moment. She was almost twelve years old, and she understood what they were saying and the disgusting look in the man's eyes when he looked at her, as if he wanted to strip her naked.
Moreover, when she saw her sister stab the man, she acted impulsively and smashed the stone in her hand on his head.
Her older sister was like a god in her heart. No matter how scared she was, she would grit her teeth and do what her sister wanted to do.
But now she began to feel scared. This was the first time in her life she had ever seen a murder scene, and the first time she had ever killed someone herself.
Even though she was far away from the crime scene, a blood-red blur still lingered in her mind's eye. The man's blood-splattered head kept appearing before her, filling her with both fear and disgust.
Many emotions intertwined, but regret was not among them.
Pan Duole secretly glanced at her sister, whose face was also very pale. Clearly, killing was a huge burden for her as well.
But these are things they must face; they cannot back down or escape them.
They originally thought that once they arrived in District 48, with so many collection points, as long as they were diligent and hardworking enough, their lives would get better and better.
I never imagined that the villains in District 48 would be even worse than those in District 50. Not only do they steal things, but they also abuse pregnant women and children. They deserve to die!
Filled with anger, the girl felt as if she had grown from a child into an adult in an instant. No matter how many hardships she faced in the future, she would no longer be afraid. She would do everything in her power to support her sister and the baby Ah Chen in her belly.

After walking for about a kilometer, Zuo Shan smelled a familiar fragrance carried on the wind.
It's a rose!
As she approached, she saw a wall made of thorny green vines, several meters high, covered with roses that were even larger than peonies.
Flowers and thorny vines formed a flower wall more than a meter thick, which was supported by a huge, uneven rock.
She raised her wrist, summoned Wanwan, and asked it to try to clear a path.
Two small leaves emerged from the curved branches, emitting a green light towards the vine wall. The flower wall immediately shrank back to both sides, making way for a passage wide enough for two people.
Behind the passage was an open space, and further ahead stood a tall tree, several tens of meters high. Under the tree lay round, brown spiky balls, each about the size of a two-ounce steamed bun.
Before Zuo Shan could even gasp, he instinctively covered his mouth and ran forward quickly.
Pandora and Mao Li followed closely behind her. As they entered, the rose wall behind them closed again, and no one could detect that anyone had come and gone.
"Phew! Finally, I can get some rest!" Pan Duole was the first to find a rock under the big tree, wipe the dirt off with a leaf, and then called to Zuo Shan, "Sister, sit down quickly!"
But she found that Zuo Shan ignored her completely, instead staring intently at the ugly brown spiky balls on the ground, his gaze burning as if he were looking at his sweetheart.
