Chapter 215: Chapter 213: Whose Knife is Sharper_1

Ning Yu’er’s brows furrowed as she fearfully took a step back. Just as she was about to speak, the red-muscle man intercepted her words.

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you... Would you save me?" he said.

"Save you, how?" she asked.

"You just need to unlock the blue cover outside, there’s a red button inside. If you press it, you will have saved me."

"And the chains on you will be unlocked?"

The red-muscle man didn’t speak, he just nodded.

"Will you kill once you’re out?" she asked.

"I can’t guarantee that."

"Then I won’t save you!"

"Hehe, didn’t you just say you would save me? Didn’t you keep your word?" he retorted.

"If saving you would cost others their lives, then you should just die here."

"Why should I? I was captured by those hypocrites. I’ve done nothing. If I get out, I swear, I will kill them all, their families too!" he threatened.

"Your father is Ning Tianlang. Wang He told me everything. He has murdered many. He didn’t even spare a newly born infant. Why should he live freely on the outside?"

Ning Yu’er paled at this, and then frowned bitterly. These were matters beyond her control.

"I’m going to learn from your father, use his methods to erase the hatred in my heart!" the man threatened.

"Stop talking. I won’t let you out," Ning Yu’er said resolutely.

She was about to walk away, but the red-muscle man said, "You’re really a good person. I haven’t seen one in a while and I thank you. Thank you for the biscuits..."

She nodded and began to walk towards the door.

"Wait!" he called.

"What more do you want?" she asked.

"Don’t be too nice to others. Too much kindness will only get you devoured. In this world, only the wicked survive. Maybe one day, when you understand this, you might release me..."

"Mmm, I’m leaving. Stay here quietly. I’ll come and visit you tomorrow."

"Goodbye."

He wasn’t angry that Ning Yu’er had cut off his words. Once she left and the door closed, the glass platform slowly rose, and Ning Yu’er’s figure disappeared completely from his view. He smiled.

The smile was weird, but nobody knew what it meant.

Outside the hall, on her way home, Ning Yu’er saw a gaunt survivor. She threw her last biscuit at him.

"Here, for you."

The survivor looked up with soulless eyes. Once he realized who she was, he nodded and began to scarf down the biscuit voraciously.

Ning Yu’er glanced around. The world was a mess, and even if she pitied every living creature, she didn’t have the power to change anything.

She could help one person, maybe ten, a hundred, or even a thousand but the whole world? No.

With that realization, Ning Yu’er sighed helplessly and walked away.

But what she failed to notice was as soon as she left, other surviving lurkers suddenly sprang up attacking the biscuit-devouring survivor.

"Give it here! F*ck!" one shouted.

"This is from lady Ning! F*ck off, you bastards! I haven’t eaten for days because of you!" the survivor shouted back.

The management of Huachen Jiangtian was several times better than in other survivors’ bases. There were specialized personnel who would distribute food daily, but for those powerless individuals, the food distributed to them would be snatched away before it could reach their mouths. He was one of those!

He was weak, and it was lethal.

"I don’t care about you! Give it to me!"

"Give it here!"

"..."

Four or five survivors circled him with green lights in their eyes, frantically grabbing for the few bags of biscuits.

The man who had been pitied by Ning Yu’er grabbed on tightly, but was kicked in the chest by one of the others.

Thud!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face suddenly went pale, and his head wobbled a few times before he passed out. The biscuits in his hand were snatched by the others, and even the crumbs in his mouth were not spared.

Ning Yu’er would never know that what she had done was akin to indirect murder.

Not that she intentionally killed.

A young man watched it all. After the survivors dispersed, he looked in the direction of Ning Yu’er’s departure, shook his head, and walked away.

Ning Tianlang came to the barracks alone. He noticed someone approaching him and stopped.

"What do you want?" he asked.

The man from earlier walked up to him.

"I’m not here to cause trouble. Just to let you know something that the others will soon discover. Ning Tianlang, your choice is very clear, Chenhua and you are not linked anymore. Join us, the benefits are numerous..."

"Get to the point."

Ning Tianlang was impatient, but was suddenly interrupted. The man didn’t seem to mind.

"Look, what is this?"

He took an evolution crystal from his pocket. Ning Tianlang turned to look at him, puzzled by his intentions.

"What I’m going to tell you is...Ahem."

The man swallowed the crystal, absorbing Ning Tianlang’s gaze.

Was this not a death wish?

Seeing his clueless expression, the man laughed, "Hahaha, the people from Chenhua didn’t tell you, did they? Level 3 New Humans wouldn’t be affected by the side effects of the evolution crystal. Those old guys must be seething. After so much research, it all came to naught!"

"Is that all?"

Seeing that the man was fine, Ning Tianlang understood and his face didn’t show any change. Instead, his next words froze the man’s face.

"That’s all, old man."

Seeing Ning Tianlang like this, the man felt annoyed. But to ease his embarrassment, he said, "Your choice is..."

"I think you don’t have to be a broken record. I know what I should do, and what I shouldn’t. I don’t need you to lecture me."

Ning Tianlang interrupted him, causing the man’s face to darken. Seeing Ning Tianlang about to leave, he said, "Is that so? But the future is unpredictable. I hope you won’t come to me."

Ning Tianlang ignored him and continued walking.

"Hmph, you? Who do you think you are? You’re nothing but a dog! I wouldn’t come looking for you, you are too young."

"Young? I don’t think so. In this world, it’s about who has the sharper knife."

Ning Tianlang halted, his eyes narrowed, and a thread of murderous intention flashed from his eyes.

"Want to try it now?"

"Of course!"

Laughing coldly, the man reached for his waist...
