BXBX NOVEL Chapter 419: 190 Zijing City Power Distribution_3
“Brother, I, I’ve told you everything, please let me go… We are both struggling to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, adversaries should resolve their conflicts, not prolong them…”
Nie Siyan spoke somewhat unclearly, as her face had been swollen from Wang Tao’s beating.
“Oh? Now you remember we are compatriots?”
Slap—
Wang Tao landed another slap across her face.
“…”
Another red mark appeared on Nie Siyan’s face, and she cried.
No matter whether she answered or not, whether she made excuses or not, Wang Tao would slap her. She didn’t even want to speak, but not speaking meant being punched and kicked… She felt that Wang Tao deliberately wanted to hit her!
Indeed, that was the case.
Wang Tao did not consider himself a good person, but he definitely wished there were more good people in the world. After all, who would want to live in a world full of deceit and treachery?
But with people like Nie Siyan around, there wouldn’t be any good people left in the future. After all, good people are not fools.
If there were no survivors to help each other in the future, if people only schemed upon meeting… humanity would be doomed sooner or later.
“I’m asking you a question.”
Wang Tao gently patted her face.
Nie Siyan shuddered in fear and hastily lowered her head to apologize.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
After speaking, she braced herself for the slap. After all, she had been slapped nearly every time she said a word just a moment ago.
But this time, the slap didn’t come.
This allowed Nie Siyan to breathe a sigh of relief; she felt her teeth were almost knocked out.
However, soon she felt something was wrong—
Although her eyes were covered, she could distinctly feel a gaze sizing her up. It definitely wasn’t a lecherous look, but rather a very cold, indifferent gaze.
Was this man considering… killing her?
Nie Siyan’s body instantly broke out in goosebumps, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head!
She quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Wang Tao.
“Brother, don’t kill me! I, I am still useful to you, I still have some resources outside, all of them are yours! I also know where the Skull Club’s resources are, I can even steal from the Skull Club’s resources for you! Whatever you ask, I’ll do!”
Wang Tao immediately raised an eyebrow.
He had indeed been wondering whether to kill her or not. He felt this woman seemed to be of no use to him. But to his surprise, this woman had strong Perception; could she have sensed his killing intent?
Wang Tao looked at her again.
[HP: 3380/11000]
[Mana: 1000/2200]
[Grade: Level 2]
[Internal Impurity: 23%]
In Wang Tao’s eyes, Nie Siyan’s Attributes were very average. Given her Mana, she probably had two Abilities, and she had successfully fused 21 Crystal Cores.
Moreover, now that Wang Tao knew what he wanted to know, and since she harbored ill intentions towards him… Such a person was naturally best eliminated.
However, considering this woman seemed quite sensible, maybe she could be of further use? After all, the Skull Club was a medium-sized organization with respectable strength; they should have some resources.
Even though their resources were obtained through swindling and deceit, Wang Tao wasn’t fussy; as long as he could take them, he would without hesitation.
Slap—
Wang Tao gave Nie Siyan another slap, knocking her to the ground. Nie Siyan’s HP bar decreased by another segment.
Wang Tao wasn’t hitting her because he enjoyed abuse, it was purely to cripple her HP so she couldn’t fight back.
After being slapped, Nie Siyan actually breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wang Tao was hitting her, she wouldn’t die… at least for the moment.
Wang Tao went to another room.
Previously, he had instructed Xu Xiaojun to torture and interrogate the man they had brought in bound. Wang Tao had roughly informed Xu Xiaojun of what to inquire about.
“Brother Wang, he said…”
Their testimonies were compared, and they were essentially consistent.
“It seems like he didn’t lie.”
Wang Tao nodded, then said to Xu Xiaojun:
“Go and take care of that person.”
“Ah? I, I can’t…”
Xu Xiaojun was startled and became somewhat flustered.
Although he had survived this long in the post-apocalyptic world and was quite strong, he had never killed anyone before!
“You can do it, believe in yourself.”
Wang Tao encouraged him, patting Xu Xiaojun on the shoulder.
Xu Xiaojun was a good person in all aspects, except he was too kind. Of course, kindness was a good trait, but there were times when one had to be ruthless!
Wang Tao was naturally cultivating him intentionally.
“I… okay!”
Xu Xiaojun clenched his teeth and nodded, forcing himself to do it.
He knew that his character could potentially hold Wang Tao back… Anyway, these people must have caused the deaths of many and truly deserved to die!
Xu Xiaojun approached the man.
“I’ve told you everything, please let me go, I’ll work for you like an ox…”
As the man was speaking, Xu Xiaojun grabbed his head and then violently twisted it.
Crack—
The man’s HP bar instantly drained to zero.
Xu Xiaojun didn’t know any techniques, relying purely on brute force. He almost twisted the man’s head off.
Wang Tao was very pleased with Xu Xiaojun’s performance. He was about to offer some consolation, but he realized that Xu Xiaojun appeared to be more composed than he had expected.
“As long as I remember the evil things this person has done, I get very angry… After killing him, I feel just like I’m killing a zombie fish, I don’t feel disgusted or uneasy…”
Xu Xiaojun scratched his head, speaking with some confusion.
“Oh? That’s good!”
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, but it was a good thing. He was worried that Xu Xiaojun would feel psychological pressure, but it was something that had to be accepted… Now it looked like he had been overthinking it. Perhaps these straightforward people have their own way of adjusting.
Wang Tao returned to where Nie Siyan was held captive and said to the woman still kneeling on the ground:
“Tomorrow, you’ll take me to the Skull Club’s base.”
“…Ah? You, you want to go to our base?”
Hearing Wang Tao speak, Nie Siyan initially felt a bit of joy, because as long as Wang Tao had a task for her, she could stay alive. But after listening carefully to what Wang Tao said, she froze. Going to their base would be like walking into a trap, wouldn’t it?
Slap—
“Okay, okay, I’ll take you there!”
Nie Siyan, having been slapped again, quickly knelt on the ground and nodded.
