Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Du Yue had lived two lives, she had never seen a gun with her own eyes, let alone touch it. During this apocalypse, she had been thinking about buying one, but it was previously banned in the country. The original order of the world was in chaos, so killing and setting fire were nothing, not to mention buying arms. However, she did not have any channels to buy it, and she did not dare to ask others for fear of getting into unnecessary trouble.
In the end, Du Yue had no choice but to give up. However, she had never expected to see a gun at He Xing’s place today. After hesitating for a moment, she took the gun. The gun was very heavy in her hands. This was something Du Yue had never expected. How could such a small thing be so heavy? The gun glowed with silver light and looked very shiny, but she could not tell what material it was made of.
Du Yue looked around the room and finally set her eyes on the empty soda bottle she had just finished. She had never used a gun before, so she was a little hesitant. He Xing noticed her embarrassment. he got up, went behind her, and bent down slightly to help her adjust the position of the gun. He knew his limits. Although his hands were correcting her posture, he was deliberately keeping a distance from her to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable.
After making sure that Du Yue’s posture was fine, he immediately took a few steps back and sat down on the stool. He gave Du Yue a comforting smile. “Don’t be afraid. Try it. It’s very simple.”
Upon hearing this, Du Yue’s heart inexplicably relaxed. She took a deep breath and pulled the trigger with her finger. The moment the bullet was fired, she could feel a strong recoil, but fortunately, it was within her tolerance. Du Yue looked at the shattered bottle in front of her, her eyes filled with satisfaction. “He Xing, sell this to me. I can give you whatever you need.” Du Yue’s eyes glowed with a determined look.
He Xing smiled. “I need five catties of gold. If you have it, give it to me. If you don’t…”
Du Yue turned around to leave. She turned back and said to him, “Wait for me. I’ll go home and get it for you.”
She quickly walked out of the house, leaving He Xing standing there in a daze. After a while, He Xing came back to his senses and chuckled. From the first time they met, Du Yue had a cold, unapproachable look on her face. This was the first time he had seen her so obviously happy and jubilant. It was interesting.
In the house next door, Du Yue closed the door after she got home. She could not wait to take out gold from her interspace. However, she did not take the gold bars she had exchanged before but a bag of gold jewelry she had taken from the vehicle of the group of bald men who blocked the road and tried to rob her. She had thrown it into her space after she took it back. She did not expect it to come in handy so soon.
Du Yue was carrying a heavy bag. She estimated that it weighed about a few dozen catties. She had no idea where those people got so much gold. However, she did not mind it at all. She took the big bag of gold and went to He Xing’s house.
She had left the door open in a hurry, so it was still wide open. Du Yue entered the house and closed the door to prevent more mosquitoes from flying in.
She put the bag in her hand on the coffee table. “There’s gold here. Other than the gun, I also want to buy some bullets. The more bullets, the better. See if the gold here is enough. If not, I’ll think of something else.” He Xing looked at the black bag and could tell that there was a lot of stuff inside just from its size. He reached out to open the bag, and it was just as he had expected.
There was so much gold that there were at least a few dozen catties worth of it. “The bullets are sold by the unit. I’ll charge you five grams of gold per bullet. Is that okay?”
Du Yue nodded repeatedly. “Of course.” This was such a good gun. If she had no bullets, the gun could only be used as a pretty decoration. Bullets were hard to come by, so it was normal for the price to be slightly higher. Neither of them weighed the bag. Fortunately, each piece of jewelry had a label indicating its weight. The weight was written on it, so it was clear at a glance.
The two of them first counted the five catties of gold and put it aside, then counted the rest. The remaining gold was actually 35 catties, which was 17,500 grams. If one bullet was five grams, the gold could be used to buy 3,500 bullets.
Du Yue was not sure if He Xing had that many bullets, and even if he did, he could not possibly give them all to her. She said hesitantly, “It’s fine. You can give me as much as you want.”
