Chapter 56 Conflict on the Lake



Huang Yue suppressed his temper and listened from the side.

The orders given by those young men were becoming increasingly outrageous.

He didn't want to cause trouble for his comrades, because the search team was introduced to him by his comrade Chen Shi.

But these people are simply going too far!

Other search teams risked their lives digging snow caves to find supplies, and could face another avalanche at any moment.

For their amusement, they sent their entire search party all the way here to fish!

It's not that fishing is wrong, but there are always priorities in doing things, and there are people who can't even afford ordinary biscuits.

Chen Shi saw Huang Yue clenching his teeth and knew something was about to happen. "What's wrong? You better hold it in."

Huang Yue sneered, "I think I'm about to turn into a real turtle!"

"Ha, let's look on the bright side. Maybe we can add a meat dish to the family tonight?" Chen Shimeng winked at Huang Yue.

Huang Yue wanted to endure it, but those people wouldn't let him go.

Wang Cong kicked the ice shards at Huang Yue, "Hey, I'm talking to you, go find those two and get your fishing rods."

It seems that Huang Yue and Shen Jing greeted each other earlier, which they noticed. Now, suddenly wanting to try fishing themselves but unable to find the tools, they've set their sights on Shen Jing.

Huang Yue didn't even look up. "My job is just to catch fish."

Wang Cong laughed in exasperation: "Just go when I tell you to!"

"Exactly, why are they talking so much? This is the new task assigned by our Brother Wang!"

"The lower class are those who are not quick-witted and can only do manual labor their whole lives!"

The other two boys who came with him snatched the ice chisel from Huang Yue's hand.

Their tone was contemptuous, and they maintained a superior attitude towards the search team, which consisted mostly of veterans.

Seeing Huang Yue obediently have the ice chisel taken away, he became even more disdainful, "Get over there now!"

Huang Yue clenched his fists. If Chen Shi hadn't been holding him back... he would have knocked their teeth out long ago!

But he definitely won't go looking for Shen Jing.

Even if you don't know her, you wouldn't steal such an important tool for survival from someone else!

Wang Cong had never been humiliated like this before, and he was furious.

He grabbed Huang Yue by the collar, ready to retaliate.

But the surrounding veterans had already gathered around, their faces filled with a murderous aura.

It's impossible for someone to make a mistake while leading a mission, but it's also impossible to allow a comrade to be insulted like this.

So what if they have a little money? They've been holding back like turtles all this way.

If it weren't for their starving families, who would put up with this kind of humiliation! Wang Cong and his group stared at the demobilized soldiers in silence, slowly giving in.

All I could do was threaten them verbally and then go back and complain!

"Okay! You wait!"

Enraged, Wang Cong kicked Huang Yue.

Huang Yue thought the matter was over, but then he discovered that these people had gone directly to find Shen Jing. How could that be allowed?!

He could tolerate it, but he couldn't let them bully her!

Chen Shi stopped him, "You'll only make things worse if you go there!"

"Are we just going to stand by and watch them rob us?"

"Of course not," Chen Shi said, his head down and his teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

Meanwhile, Shen Jing and Gu Yan were leisurely fishing.

"Those fish really love biting your bait."

Shen Jing refused to admit that Gu Yan had won, insisting on attributing the victory to the bait.

Because aside from his advantage of remaining still, Gu Yan is actually quite passive when it comes to fishing.

But he caught two more fish than Shen Jing, and he even chuckled and made a V-sign with two fingers.

Now, how could Shen Jing not see through it?

Compared to fishing, making Shen Jing angry made him even more smug!

"I'll buy your fishing rods!"

Before long, Wang Cong's discordant voice emerged.

Shen Jing glanced at the group but ignored them.

However, when Wang Cong saw Shen Jing, he recognized her and said with a disdainful look, "So it was you."

Everyone else recognized him too, since they had all been in the same circle before.

Liang Jingyan is also Liang Leyi's uncle.

But now all she could see was Gu Yan, and she couldn't care less about Shen Jing, with whom she had previously been at odds.

"What are you doing here?" Liang Leyi approached Gu Yan familiarly, but he completely ignored her.

Gu Yan didn't even lift his eyelids, and followed Shen Jing's instructions to pack up the two fishing rods.

Wang Cong looked at Shen Jing and said, "You really broke off your engagement with Liang Jingyan?"

Shen Jing remembered that this person was a well-known playboy in the city. Her most vivid memory of him was that he was publicly executed by a brother and sister during the apocalypse.

There are many different accounts of how he offended the two of them.

Shen Jing tidied up the fish tank and prepared to go back.

Anyway, we already have the crystal core, and there are also fish from the entire aquarium harvested by the mutated vine in the space.

"Get out of the way." I was about to leave when someone blocked my path.

Wang Cong stroked his chin and stared at Shen Jing: "I didn't realize you were so good-looking."

"Ha, it's all because my cousin stole my fiancé."

"I heard that Shen Hai is now the person in charge of the Shen family. It's hard to say who's taking over from whom."

“My uncle has been in a coma recently, and the Shen family members were kicked out of the Liang family a long time ago.” Liang Leyi pouted; she couldn’t stand Shen Jing the most. “I heard they had a dispute before she fell into a coma, right?!”

Shen Jing only found out now that Liang Jingyan was unconscious, which explained why he hadn't come looking for trouble.

Thinking of this, she raised an eyebrow at Gu Yan, her meaning clear: Did you do this?

Gu Yan laughed with unrestrained joy, as if Shen Jing's doubt was an affirmation of him.
