I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Two Sides
“It’s you!”
“Hey, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t follow you here!”
Du Yue did not care about his explanation. She looked at the empty-handed man and went straight to the point, “Where are the weapons?”
He Xing replied, “Umm…”
If he said that someone had bought all of them, would the young lady in front of him believe him?
“You’re not going to say that they were all bought by someone else, are you?” Du Yue curled her lips and asked nonchalantly.
He Xing was not annoyed that his thoughts had been seen through. He cleared his throat and said, “No, I kept them somewhere.”
He had stored them away in his space.
Du Yue did not reply, and simply sized him up.
The man had been squatting in a dark corner previously, so Du Yue had not seen what he was wearing.
The two of them were now face-to-face with each other under the bright sky. Du Yue could see the man clearly. In such hot weather, everyone was wearing short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and slippers.
However, the man in front of her was still wearing a camouflage jacket, a pair of camouflage trousers, and a pair of well-made military boots.
When the two of them collided earlier, although they separated after a brief moment, Du Yue still felt a burst of coolness from his clothes.
When Du Yue was shopping for clothes, she had bought all kinds of materials, but it was the first time she had seen the material used to make the clothes that this man was wearing.
His short, neat hair was silver-gray, which did not look like it had been dyed.
The more Du Yue looked at him, the more confused she became. What was this person’s background?
While Du Yue was looking at him, He Xing was also sizing up the woman in front of him.
She looked like she was in her early twenties, with a small and delicate face, and fair skin. Under the light, her eyes sparkled and were as clear as the stars in the sky.
Her hair was very short, only reaching her jawline. Her neat bun made her originally somewhat childish face look more courageous and heroic.
Although her body was slender, traces of her hidden muscles could be seen. Her physical fitness was good, and her strength was not something ordinary people could match.
She stood quietly in front of him, looking gentle and soft, but the vigilance and curiosity in her eyes had long indicated that she did not have a good impression of him.
He Xing’s lips curled up. This girl was quite interesting.
Seeing the smile on He Xing’s face, Du Yue frowned. “You weren’t hurt by the collision, and neither was I. Since we’re both fine, then goodbye!”
Although the man was eye-catching in terms of both his appearance and temperament, Du Yue did not feel that he had any ill intentions.
After some probing, Du Yue decided to bid him farewell.
Du Yue turned to leave but was stopped.
“Sister, do you have anything to eat?”
“???”
Du Yue looked over in confusion and saw the aggrieved expression on the man’s face.
“I didn’t eat or drink today. I’m so hungry and thirsty that I’m about to faint.”
The man’s lips were indeed dry and cracked, which was indeed a sign of dehydration. However, what did this have to do with her?
Without waiting for Du Yue to decline, the man took a ring off his finger.
“I can sell this ring to you.”
Du Yue’s face was filled with question marks as she looked at the man even more warily.
In total, they had only met twice, yet this man wanted to give her a ring?
He Xing was a little embarrassed when he saw Du Yue’s suspicious look. He quickly explained, “This is not an ordinary ring. It’s a weapon.”
As he spoke, the man’s finger brushed across the surface of the ring, and five sharp thorns instantly appeared on the ring, the longest of which was nearly two centimeters.
“This weapon is very suitable for a young lady like you. Besides, it won’t raise any suspicion if you bring it around. Most people won’t be able to tell that it’s a weapon,” He Xing said as he presented the ring to Du Yue.
“As for the price, you can name any price. As long as I can eat a few full meals and sleep well for a few good nights, it’s fine!”
He pouted.
“You look like a good person. You wouldn’t watch me wander the streets and die of hunger and thirst, would you?”
When Du Yue first met this man, she thought he was a cold and aloof person. Now, she looked at the scene in front of her in a daze. She had never thought that this man actually had two sides to him.
