Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 215: Theft
Zhu Yu listened to these people’s words, feeling very conflicted inside.
He really wanted to help them!
Because there were bonds between them!
But he didn’t want to betray the trust that Zhuo Yifei and Lin Lang had placed in him:
“Steal something? That’s definitely not okay…”
Zhu Yu said, hesitantly!
“Zhu Yu, what are you saying? We’re your family, aren’t we? Is family not as important as that Lin Lang?”
A middle-aged beggar said, with a tone of slight reproach.
“Second Uncle, I…”
Zhu Yu started to speak but stopped.
“Zhu Yu, please help us. We’re really living a tough life.”
“So much so!”
“We’re on the brink of not being able to survive!”
A young woman said, her voice carrying a hint of sobs.
“If you could bring us some supplies, I wouldn’t mind being your girlfriend!”
The girl took the initiative to grab Zhu Yu’s hand!
Zhu Yu looked at her!
His heart stirred instantly!
You must know!
This girl!
Was once the big sister next door he had a crush on!
In the memories of everyone around!
Zhu Yu recalled his days in the Low-Cost Housing District!
Remembered the difficult times spent together with these people!
…
In the end!
Under everyone’s persistent persuasion, Zhu Yu’s heart began to waver:
“Alright, then I’ll try to see if I can get some supplies from Xingfu District.”
“But this is just to save your lives!”
“And!”
“Only this once!”
Zhu Yu said softly, his voice tinged with a bit of helplessness and compromise.
Upon hearing this!
A beggar furrowed his brow:
“Once isn’t enough, unless you can move all of Lin Lang’s supplies over…”
But before he finished speaking!
Another person interrupted him!
That person glared at him and admonished:
“Are you stupid? If there’s a first time, aren’t you afraid there won’t be a second time?”
The beggar suddenly realized!
So everyone nodded and agreed one after another:
“Of course, of course!”
“Just this once!”
They completely ignored!
The consequences this decision would bring to Zhu Yu!
…
Zhu Yu had an enjoyable day in the Low-Cost Housing District!
In between, Zhuo Yifei sent him several messages.
He replied to all, saying everything was fine, don’t worry.
…
Until night fell!
Under the cover of darkness, Zhu Yu, like a cautious little cat, silently arrived at the entrance of Xingfu District.
Moonlight shone on his face, reflecting his inner struggle and unease—
He regretted it a little!
But!
He had already promised the neighbor’s sister!
He couldn’t back out halfway, right?
He had to brace himself and move forward!
…
He walked to the main entrance.
The guard at the entrance was yawning, looking a bit tired!
And upon seeing Zhu Yu!
The guard quickly perked up, smiled, and greeted him:
“Hey! Brother Zhu Yu, you’re back so late, how did it go today?”
Zhu Yu’s heart tightened, but he quickly adjusted his expression, and replied lightly:
“Not much harvest.”
Seeing that Zhu Yu indeed returned empty-handed, the guard didn’t doubt his words, just nodded to show understanding:
“No worries! Can’t have a bumper harvest every day, right?”
Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, giving Xiaoli a grateful look, then quickly went inside.
…
Once inside the community!
Zhu Yu looked guiltily at the place where the supplies were stored!
Then walked over!
Every step filled with caution and tension.
He was afraid of being discovered by the patrol or other residents of the community!
More so, he feared that his actions would cause trouble for Zhuo Yifei and Lin Lang.
“I’m just temporarily borrowing some supplies for them. Once they get through this tough time, I’ll find a way to return it.”
Zhu Yu silently comforted himself, trying to find a reasonable explanation for his actions.
He walked to the warehouse door.
Feeling restless and uneasy, but thinking of the hopeful eyes of those relatives and friends!
He firmed his resolve once again.
Looking around, searching for an opportunity to slip in!
Just then!
A faint sound of footsteps reached his ears.
He was startled, immediately hiding in a dark corner, afraid of being discovered.
The footsteps came closer, and Zhu Yu’s heartbeat sped up.
He pressed tightly against the wall, not daring to breathe.
Fortunately, the footsteps did not stop, continuing to move forward—
Zhang Dabin, for more comprehensive protection of the community.
Not only added more guards.
But also established a night patrol team!
…
Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly relieved.
He once again carefully approached the warehouse door.
Then slipped inside.
Selected some essential supplies!
Hid them under his clothes!
Then took advantage of the night!
Quickly left the scene!
…
According to the plan agreed upon with the people from the Low-Cost Housing District, he arrived at a secluded corner.
Outside the wall!
A few people from the Low-Cost Housing District were already waiting for him!
The next step was simple—
He just needed to silently throw the supplies out! Then turn around and leave this dangerous place!
However!
Just as he retrieved the supplies from under his clothes, ready to throw them over the wall!
A familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him—
It was Zhuo Yifei!
Zhu Yu’s heart felt like it was hit by a sledgehammer!
He froze, almost dropping the supplies in his hands.
“Zhu Yu, what are you doing?”
Zhuo Yifei’s voice was low and stern, his eyes filled with disappointment and reproach.
Zhu Yu lowered his head!
He knew he could no longer hide!
With a trembling voice, he said:
“I…I just wanted to help them.”
“They’re living too hard!”
“I…I really couldn’t stand it.”
Zhuo Yifei sighed.
He understood Zhu Yu’s kindness and empathy, but he also knew the consequences of such actions.
He said:
“Zhu Yu, by doing this, you’re not only betraying our trust!”
“You’re also violating the rules of Xingfu District!”
“In these apocalyptic times, supplies are life! And you dared to steal from the district’s supplies?!”
“This will bring you big trouble!”
…
Zhu Yu silently listened to Zhuo Yifei’s words, overwhelmed with guilt and regret!
He knew he did wrong!
But he didn’t know how to make up for this mistake!
The supplies in his hands felt unusually heavy, unbearable.
…
The fragile Zhu Yu suddenly burst into tears:
“Brother Fei, what am I supposed to do? I really know I was wrong!”
Zhuo Yifei, seeing this!
Hesitated for a long time, then said:
“Put the supplies back, and I’ll forgive you this time!”
Hearing this!
Zhu Yu quickly nodded!
He bowed deeply to Zhuo Yifei!
Then turned and ran back.
Returned the supplies to the warehouse!
Seeing this!
Zhuo Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief:
“As long as no one knows, it’ll be okay. Xiaoyu, you can’t be so careless in the future!”
…
However!
What they did not know was—
In Xingfu District, Building C, Unit 1, Room 2102!
In the study!
Lin Lang sat with his eyes closed, completely focused!
His Divine Sense, like an invisible web, covered the entire district and surrounding area!
At the moment Zhu Yu secretly slipped into the warehouse, ready to steal supplies!
Lin Lang’s Divine Sense had already perceived everything!
Even though Lin Lang remained calm, just quietly observing!
His heart was already flooded with a chill—
He absolutely could not tolerate betrayal!
That was his constant principle!
Almost instinctively!
He considered notifying Zhang Dabin to clean house!
Fortunately!
Just as Zhu Yu was about to take that fatal step!
Zhuo Yifei appeared and pulled him back!
