Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 216: The Meaning of Strength
“Zhang Dabin appreciated you two so much!”
“Unexpectedly! You turned out to be someone who bites the hand that feeds you!”
“However!”
“Today, your luck hasn’t run out yet!”
“I’ll give you a chance.”
“Hope you cherish it.”
Lin Lang closed his eyes, and the murderous intent in his heart gradually faded away.
But his Divine Sense.
Still enveloped Xingfu District under the night sky!
Observing every corner!
…
Outside the wall!
A group of people from the Low-Cost Housing District were waiting anxiously in the night!
Their eyes were filled with expectation and desire!
However!
A night passed by!
They did not receive the supplies brought by Zhu Yu!
They endured a whole night of cold wind for nothing!
Disappointment and anger intertwined in their hearts!
They began to suspect whether Zhu Yu had betrayed them.
…
The next morning!
This group of people prepared to block Zhu Yu when he went out hunting!
But Zhu Yu never stepped out!
By noon!
They were so hungry they couldn’t stand it anymore!
So they went back first!
…
But unexpectedly!
Soon after!
Zhu Yu actually came to the Low-Cost Housing District himself!
Seeing Zhu Yu!
Anger was written all over the faces of these people, and they demanded:
“Zhu Yu, what happened last night? We waited the whole night and got no supplies!”
A middle-aged man said discontentedly, having not slept all night, now filled with rage!
Soon after!
A frail old woman stood up shakily, her eyes glistening with tears:
“Zhu Yu, you don’t know, I have several grandchildren at home waiting for food. They are so young, they can’t starve. I waited for you all night thinking you’d bring hope, but you… How could you let us down?”
Other people chimed in, starting to play the sympathy card:
“I didn’t eat at all last night waiting for you! Now I’m starving, just waiting for those supplies to save my life!”
Another woman held a newborn baby!
The child was crying from hunger, and she soothed the child while saying:
“Zhu Yu, look at this child, he hasn’t eaten anything for two days. Can you really bear to see him like this?”
They kept talking!
As if Zhu Yu was their only savior!
However!
Zhu Yu didn’t speak for a long while!
He just lowered his head, filled with guilt —
He knew he hadn’t completed the task and understood their disappointment and anger.
But when he lifted his head, ready to explain!
He realized!
There was no concern in their eyes.
Only growing anger!
“I got caught.”
Zhu Yu said quietly, his voice filled with helplessness and guilt.
At this moment!
His cousin came forward, patting Zhu Yu on the shoulder:
“Zhu Yu, we know you tried your best. But look, these people are all counting on you. You can’t just leave them be. Try again tonight, be more careful, you’ll probably not get caught this time.”
Others also chimed in:
“Yeah, Zhu Yu, just try one more time. We all believe in you, you’re the best.”
“You can definitely succeed, you surely can.”
“We can’t do without you, Zhu Yu, please help us one more time.”
Their voices carried a mix of persuasion and pleading!
However!
From their eyes, Zhu Yu only saw greed and ruthlessness!
He understood!
These people only cared about their own benefits and didn’t care about others’ lives at all.
The feelings he held so dear!
In their eyes!
Were just tools to manipulate him!
…
“How can you be like this!”
Zhu Yu finally couldn’t help but shout out loud, his voice filled with grievance!
“I tried my best last night, but I got caught!”
“Not only do you not care about my safety, but you want me to keep risking it?!”
“Have you ever considered my feelings? Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?”
…
This group of people was intimidated by Zhu Yu’s anger for a moment!
But only for a moment!
They paused for a bit, then continued:
“Who said we don’t care about you, it’s just that we really have no supplies left!”
“Zhu Yu! If you don’t bring the supplies, don’t even think about me being your girlfriend!”
Even the neighbor sister said this!
Zhu Yu looked at them, filled with disappointment in his heart!
He understood, these people only cared about their own interests and didn’t care about others’ lives at all!
He decided, from now on, he would never make any sacrifices or efforts for them again!
He said to those people:
“No one’s supplies just fall from the sky!”
“And you! A woman that even Black Dragon doesn’t fancy, what right do you have to threaten me?!”
When he finished speaking!
He threw a small bag of supplies out of his pocket:
“These supplies are from my hunting, now I give them to you!”
“From now on! I have nothing to do with you anymore!”
…
“Food!”
The people from the Low-Cost Housing District, like beasts driven by hunger!
Swarmed over!
And took all the supplies Zhu Yu left!
But just as Zhu Yu turned to leave!
They reacted again!
And surrounded Zhu Yu firmly!
Not letting him leave:
“You think just this bit of supplies can brush us off?”
“You’re thinking too simply!”
“Bring more supplies out! At least let each of us have our fill!”
…
Their eyes were filled with malice!
However!
They overlooked a fact!
The current Zhu Yu!
Was no longer that weak boy easily manipulated by others!
He had consumed the Spirit Battle Pill given by Lin Lang!
And awakened his Spiritual Combat Superpower!
Though it was just D-Class combat power!
But it wasn’t something a bunch of beggars could mess with!
…
In the face of these people’s blockade and coercion!
Zhu Yu’s anger erupted like a volcano!
He could no longer tolerate these people’s ruthlessness, nor endure their threats to himself!
“You people, only know how to take, without ever considering others’ feelings!”
Zhu Yu’s voice was thunderous, and his eyes were filled with determination!
“Now, I want you to know, I, Zhu Yu, am not someone you can manipulate at will!”
With that said!
Zhu Yu waved his hand!
And knocked the person blocking him ten meters away!
They plopped to the ground!
And were left in a daze!
Wailing continuously!
“Oh no! This kid is heartless!”
…
The others, seeing this!
Were filled with fear and dread!
“This kid has become a Superpower User!”
At once!
No one dared to obstruct!
They could only let Zhu Yu walk out of the Low-Cost Housing District!
…
That day!
For Zhu Yu!
Was a moment of interwoven loss and growth!
He witnessed the ugliness of human nature!
And experienced the power of strength!
Although exhausted both physically and mentally.
His heart was more resolute and mature than ever.
…
Zhu Yu returned to Xingfu District.
As he walked to the entrance!
“Stop!”
At this moment!
The security guard shouted to him sternly!
Zhu Yu was startled, and instinctively stopped walking, looking at the security guard.
The security guard continued with a stern face:
“Zhu Yu! Bin is looking for you! You’re to go find him as soon as you return!”
Zhu Yu curiously asked:
“What does the teacher want from me?”
The security guard said coldly:
“He just told me to tell you, to go to the warehouse!”
Upon hearing this!
Zhu Yu’s heart sank:
“Oh no!”
“Did Zhuo Yifei tell Teacher Da Bin about me stealing supplies last night?!”
“What should I do now?!”
