I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

212 You Don’t Even Know This

He Xing felt like laughing when he heard Du Yue’s conclusion, but he held it in and nodded seriously. “That’s right.” It had to be said that Du Yue’s conclusion was very accurate. As the two of them talked, they finally came to the end of the passage. In front of them was an unlocked door, and through the crack in the door, they could vaguely see the light leaking from inside.

The light was very bright, and it was different from the light from the lamps hanging on the wall. Du Yue guessed that this must be an important place. “Be careful,” He Xing warned as he stood beside her. They did not know how many people were guarding this place, nor did they know if the so-called king was here.

Du Yue nodded. “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”

She was a very rational person. No matter how much she hated these people, she would not act rashly. The two of them moved gently and slowly reached the back of the door. They could faintly hear sounds coming from inside. It sounded like someone was joking, and their voice sounded very happy. Du Yue could not help but frown when she heard the arrogant and domineering laughter.

The laughter stopped, and a man’s voice was heard. “I thought you were very capable, but it turns out that you’re just so-so. You’re dreaming if you think you can assassinate me with your skills!” Although the voice was a distance away, one could still hear that the person was not very old.

There was nothing special about his voice, only his insufferably arrogant and domineering tone, which aroused Du Yue’s killing intent. Even though she could not see what was going on inside, Du Yue could tell from these words that the person who had been captured inside was definitely Xiang Nan. Du Yue looked at He Xing. Just as she was about to speak, He Xing said, “I’ll go in first. Be careful and take care of yourself!”

With that, He Xing opened the door and walked in, not giving Du Yue a chance to speak. He Xing swaggered into the room. The man was still talking non-stop, but he was stunned when he saw He Xing. “Who are you? How did you get in?”

He Xing looked at the man in the yellow dragon robe in front of him and sneered. “You should know who you are before you know who I am.”

“Who I am? Of course, I know who I am! I’m the king here! I’m the monarch of this place!” As the man spoke, he sized He Xing up. Suddenly, he realized something and pointed his finger at him. “I understand now. You’re the weakling’s accomplice. You’re here to save him, aren’t you? No wonder he used to hide everywhere, afraid of being caught by me. But now he suddenly dared to come in alone and successfully infiltrated the underground city. It turns out that he has an accomplice! Judging from your clothes, you shouldn’t be one of those refugees from the city. Did you come from the base? What does the base want to do by sending you here?”

He Xing smiled. “Don’t you claim to be a king? Why don’t you guess what I’m here for?”

“You’re an interesting person. I’m guessing that… you were sent by the base to scout the way. The base wants to move into my underground city, right? Hahahaha… Stupid humans, they really don’t have any brains at all. For such a mission, the base should at least send a few more people over. But they just sent the two of you… You really don’t know your place!

“You’re overestimating yourself,” He Xing said indifferently. “There aren’t many people here. I can easily kill a scum like you.”

The man’s face darkened when he heard this. “How dare you? Did I say you could speak? Why are you guys still standing there? Hurry up and arrest this person. I’m going to pull out his tendons and skin him today!”

“Yes, sir!” More than a dozen people in the room bowed in response and surrounded He Xing. He Xing had no intention of avoiding them. Instead, he stood still. Seeing this, the man could not help but laugh out loud. “What’s wrong? You’re not even resisting…” Before the man could finish his sentence, the dozen or so people who had surrounded him were blown up like gravel. They were sent flying into the air before falling heavily to the ground like a rag bag. In just a moment, they were no longer breathing.

The man was halfway through his sentence, but he could not be bothered to be angry anymore. He looked at He Xing in horror. “You… What did you do to them?”

He Xing was fiddling with a laser gun in his hand, his eyebrows raised slightly.”Fellow townsman, don’t tell me you don’t even recognize this thing?”
