Chapter 1097 - A Series of Bullets Would Solve It

The sun had risen.

The temperature was gradually increasing.

Ye Ling had finally woken up. After the sleep, he was much more energized, and his eyes were not as bloodshot red as they were before. Ye Ling removed his contact lenses. Shen Qianshu said, “Ah... I forgot about it too. You actually fell asleep with contact lenses on. They must be filled with germs now. Are your eyes okay?”

“They’re a little dry.”

“Cry. Water your eyes with some tears,” Monica said.

Ye Ling would not agree to something so “weird”. He totally ignored her. Monica looked rather disappointed. Ye Ling washed his eyes with some water and instantly felt better.

“Should we attack first?” Monica asked.

Ye Ling shook his head.

Monica replied. “Got it!”

Shen Qianshu said, “Hold on. What have you guys understood? We only have 30-odd hours left. There are still over ten people on the other side. Are we just going to wait if we don’t initiate an attack? How long are we going to wait for?”

“Do we have any food?” Ye Ling asked.

Shen Qianshu took a few packets of compressed biscuits out from her equipment bag. Then, she threw one packet each to Ye Ling, Monica, and Maxi. She also opened one packet for herself and also threw a packet of soy milk to each of them. They were all items that others did not want along the way.

Ye Ling said, “Wait for them to initiate an attack. We will just guard around here.”

We already have sufficient ammunition. There is no need for initiating an attack. The opposite side has the higher ground. It is not a good idea to initiate an attack at them.

They had just finished their meal when they heard a noise coming from the building opposite of them.

“Shen Qianshu, Monica, Maxi. We need to talk!”

It was the voice of Xue Er.

Monica found a speaker. “Sure. We will satisfy you when you are dead. Do you want a crystal coffin or one made of gold?

“...” Everyone was speechless.

That’s too arrogant of her. She had rejected the opportunities for a logical negotiation away.

Shen Qianshu tugged at her.

At least listen to what they have to say.

Maxi said, “Sis, this is a game. If she doesn’t die, we will. There is nothing to talk about, don’t bother listening to their nonsense. They might come with a suicide team who ties a bomb to themselves and then explode all of us into bits.”

“Am I so silly? Of course I wouldn’t let them come over.”

Xue Er was furious. They only had about a day left. Everyone was anxious and furious. Monica and Maxi were tough cookies.

“Monica, Maxi, I don’t get it. Why are you protecting Shen Qianshu so much? She is the next predecessor of the Leader. If she wins, all of you would have to die. Are you willing to be the cat’s paw?” Xue Er questioned. “You and I should belong in the same team.”

Monica said, “We were. Then? I’d fight for you and die in the end. You would win and become the leader. Is that what you mean? You must be nuts to want to negotiate with us, huh?”

What is there to even talk about? A series of bullets would solve these matters. We don’t need any negotiation.

It’s how violent things are!

“Monica, we are a team. After we kill Shen Qianshu, you may kill me, and I may kill you. Everything is unpredictable. But if you help her—with Ye Ling around too—you will definitely die.”

It was obvious that Xue Er was trying to sow discord between them from her words.

Maxi said, “Monica is almost dying. Don’t bother sowing discord between us. If she dies, I won’t be able to live without her anyway. Before I die, I want to take all of you along and pave a bloody pathway for my sis. That’s so simple.”

Xue Er was so mad that she smashed the speaker on the ground.

Shen Qianshu was laughing. That’s so... whimsical.

No one spoke again. Silence was restored.
