Chapter 252 - 250: Searching for One’s Own Shadow_1
Chapter 252: Chapter 250:
"Congratulations, you’re correct!"
Tang Ye seemed genuinely pleased as he pulled a sausage from his pocket and handed it to Wu Menghuai.
"Here, this is your reward."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Boss!"
As soon as Wu Menghuai saw the food, he immediately danced for joy.
When Tang Ye took out the sausage, several envious eyes instantly focused on the overjoyed Wu Menghuai.
In the apocalypse, food was the most valuable commodity, and the sausage that Tang Ye gave to Wu Menghuai immediately ignited their greed.
They didn’t dare try to take food from Tang Ye, nor did they dare to try to take the food given to Wu Menghuai in front of him. They were scared of Tang Ye, but Wu Menghuai wasn’t. As soon as Tang Ye leaves, many are already planning to snatch the food from Wu Menghuai’s hands.
Seeing his son receive the sausage, the man’s—Wu Jinghong—eyelids twitched violently. Receiving food in front of all those people was not a good thing in the apocalypse; the smallest mistake could cost him his life!
The idea that possession of the jade seal invites envy and hence harm is a fundamental law of survival in the apocalypse that everyone understands!
Wu Jinghong desperately tried to signal for his son to eat the sausage while Tang Ye, the boss, was still there. Unfortunately, Wu Menghuai didn’t see him; he was still immersed in the joy of receiving food. He had already planned to share the delicious food with his father when they got home.
This plan, however, excited the other survivors, who looked on with green eyes.
Without eating it yet, as soon as Tang Ye leaves, they can snatch it!
As for the rule that Tan Ye just mentioned, the prohibition that murderers would be thrown to the swarm of corpses, they didn’t really care or maybe they didn’t listen to Tang Ye’s words, or possibly they thought that Tang Ye was simply joking.
"Alright, there’s one more question, and if you answer correctly, there will be another excellent reward."
"Ah? Really? Well, Boss, go ahead and ask."
Wu Menghuai, having just answered Tang Ye’s previous question, felt that the next question probably wouldn’t be difficult and should be easy to answer correctly, nodded his head like a rattle drum.
"The next question is, if you see someone in danger right in front of you, will you save them?"
Wu Menghuai looked up at Tang Ye with his innocent eyes, which reminded Tang Ye of a paradise. A sight that he hadn’t seen in a long time.
The apocalypse is filled with too much evil, and he himself was inevitably swept up in it. The bottom line he had once set for himself had been crossed countless times.
In the emptiness of his heart lies his present state where Tang Ye could only see the shadow of his former self in others.
