Chapter 105 – Face (reputation)
Giving Huang Da Jun half a bottle of water was already giving Li Lan Xing enough face.
Seeing the bottle of water, Huang Da Jun was happy beyond expectation. He twisted the bottle cap and poured the contents down his throat, only stopping when a small layer of water was left.
Seeing Huang Da Jun’s appearance, Wei Xiao Bei originally wanted to stop him from finishing it, after all, water was a hard to find resource in The Dust World. If he did not economize water, he would suffer in the end.
What? There is water in Lake Cui? Why don’t you try to get two bottles yourself?
At the very least, Wei Xiao Bei did not have any plans to go to Lake Cui due to the dangers there.
“So good!” If it was the previous Huang Da Jun, he would not be willing to drink water that others had drunk from before. He thought that if there was saliva, it could be infectious and had bacteria and whatnot, it could even cause stomach cancer!
However, Huang Da Jun could not be bothered about such thing now.
His only choices were dying of thirst or stomach cancer.
Huang Da Jun did not hesitate and chose stomach cancer. At the very least, he would not die immediately.
“Xiao Bei, is there any food?”
After drinking the water, Huang Da Jun’s spirit was invigorated. His face smiled happily and asked Wei Xiao Bei. You could not even see the contempt that he previously had for Wei Xiao Bei. It was as if they had always been good brothers.
Sigh.
Wei Xiao Bei sighed in his mind. In reality, he still had not made any plans for Huang Da Jun’s sudden appearance.
How should I deal with this Huang Da Jun?
There was no mistake, how should I deal with him.
In the first place, Wei Xiao Bei looked at Huang Da Jun as a rival in The Dust World!
Wei Xiao Bei had clearly understood this when he saw the girl being eaten by the Lickers in Cui Hu University.
Secondly, he asked himself if Huang Da Jun would leak out the existence of The Dust World or not… Or would he expose Wei Xiao Bei to others.
This was the question that Wei Xiao Bei worried about the most.
The Dust World was not a place that could be entered even if science and technology had developed for a thousand years. People might not also believe in Huang Da Jun’s words.
However, these things were hard to say. If in the millionth chance that someone actually believed him and gained an interest in The Dust World, Huang Da Jun would be their first target, and their next would be him.
After entering the Dust World, Wei Xiao Bei had treated reality as a safety camp where he could rest properly.
If one day this safety was compromised, Wei Xiao Bei could easily imagine how difficult the situation would be.
Should I let Huang Da Jun be my ally?
Wei Xiao Bei bitterly smiled. He was not a child that had just left school.
The human heart was unfathomable.
The popular history of China in three volumes by Cao Yu Zhang had already confirmed this irrefutable truth!
An honest and sincere looking hotel owner could kill a person for the sake of money.
Brothers from the same parent could even kill each other for the throne.
Many people could do unimaginable bad things if they had a purpose.
In truth, just thinking about his had given Wei Xiao Bei a bit of a headache. Towards these things, even the genius Albert Einstein could not read the human heart!
What’s more, Wei Xiao Bei faintly felt that Huang Da Jun was filled with enmity towards him. Although Huang Da Jun did not show it, Wei Xiao Bei still knew.
However, killing Huang Da Jun just like that made him hesitate.
“I’m conserving food. Food is harder to find in this place.”
It might appear that Wei Xiao Bei had thought about a lot of things, but in reality only a breath of time had passed.
After taking out a string of hardtacks and giving it to Huang Da Jun, Wei Xiao Bei began asking him questions.
When Huang Da Jun obtained the hardtack, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth like a hungry wolf. He had almost choked on it, making him drink the last drops of water in the bottle. Then he impatiently looked at Wei Xiao Bei.
“First, tell me how did you come here?”
Wei Xiao Bei was a bit impatient, but after giving Huang Da Jun an inch, Huang Da Jun wanted a mile. If Wei Xiao Bei had given Huang Da Jun all the water and food in his backpack, he would have to retreat the desert to replenish the food and water.
Wei Xiao Bei did not want to have such a troublesome thing happen.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei’s face become a bit frightening, Huang Da Jun was startled. At this time, he was truly afraid that Wei Xiao Bei would just leave him there without care.
After all, from Huang Da Jun’s point of view, although Wei Xiao Bei holding the great spear was strange and did not match his image of him, he knew that staying beside him was still safer.
As result, Huang Da Jun did not dare dillydally. He immediately recounted how he entered The Dust World and the things that happened to him there.
“My name is Huang Da Jun. I am at the manager of a multinational corporation. Naturally, only at the Cui Hu City branch of the company.
I have my own dreams and plans. I want to strive for the department manager at before the age of 31. At the age of 32, I will be the assistant director and at 33 become the director. At the age of 35 become the vice-chairman.
However, my mood has been unpleasant these few periods of time.
For the first part, because my girlfriend had found out about the small matters that men did behind their women’s backs, she had actually said that we should break up!
After being in a cold war for a period of time, I had admitted my mistake. After all, it was my fault that I did not protect my lower part.
However, on that evening, I had discovered Li Lan Xing’s secret!
This loathsome woman actually dreamed about other men and even called it ecstasy!
Moreover, it was that wretch Wei Xiao Bei!
Drink, drink, drink!
If I could, I would be willing to never wake up.
However, what I encountered after waking up was a nightmare.
My god, what is this place?
It’s actually a desert!
What is actually happening here?
My god! What is that? Why is there such a huge scorpion there? It entered the sand and left a protrusion? It’s coming over here.
Run!
I have to get away. I have not yet become the director and fulfilled my life’s dream!
That idiotic scorpion actually chased after me.
Luckily, I was saved before I lost all my strength.
Unexpectedly, my benefactor was Wei Xiao Bei, the one who placed me into an extremely bad mood!
As an elite, I must determine when I am first.
I must cover up my fury first. In the next opportunity, I will get rid of him!”
…….
“I don’t know how I got here,” Huang Da Jun mumbled.
Wei Xiao Bei stared at Huang Da Jun, attempting to see something. Wei Xiao Bei felt that there was something not right with Huang Da Jun from the beginning to the end.
“I truly do not know!”
Huang Da Jun’s anger was about to erupt.
As a graduate from a famous college and riding a successful wave in his work, Huang Da Jun had developed an extremely arrogant nature.
Moreover, he was in front of Wei Xiao Bei, so he found it difficult to control his mood.
