Chapter 62: Weakness (1/2)
Chapter 62: Weakness
“We told you to carry the bag, so carry it. Less chitchat!” Liu Gan scolded Zhao Hui, and then once again he continued to stretch with his back to Zhao Hui.
Zhao Hui originally wanted to chat up Liu Gan in order to find an opportunity, but he never expected that this brute would be so stupid. He wasn’t even the least bit vigilant by exposing his back to him despite being this close. This chance came a bit too quickly, right?
If he had this opportunity and did not seize it, how could he still call himself Zhao Hui? He just said that he would give ChenChen a demonstration on how to dispose of this brute effortlessly while also seizing their backpack and luggage.
“Yes, big brother! From now on I am your little errand boy. If you want anything, just say so!” Zhao Hui deceivingly promised in a loud voice while he swiftly thrust the dagger in his hand towards the center of Liu Gan’s back.
The moment the dagger thrust out, Zhao Hui could already hear the ‘puchi’ sound as it pierced Liu Gan’s chest… Yesterday, he had done the same thing to a man similar in size to Liu Gan. Until the moment he died, he still had a look of disbelief on his face. He was unable to comprehend why this little brother whom he had just accepted would do such a thing.
Surviving in this post-apocalyptic world required ruthlessness and decisiveness when needed. One could only maintain an advantage with these methods. Zhao Hui felt that aside from him, other people were very stupid. Take Yao WeiDong and his family for example. He had been worried that his family might get hurt, so he only thought of running away after seeing Zhao Hui. Zhao Hui only needed to find the right opportunity to smash him in the back with an iron rod to make him yield and beg forgiveness.
As for Liu Gan, this dumb brute, Zhao Hui only needed to show him a smiling face. Also, he had to call Liu Gan big brother and himself little brother, a few times, for him to get carried away and let his guard down.
According to what Zhao Hui told ChenChen, this was humanity’s weakness. As long as one was an ordinary person, they would definitely have this kind of weakness. So long as they fully exploited this weakness and acted decisively, they would have the opportunity to obtain more resources and larger living spaces in this post-apocalyptic world.
However, what Zhao Hui hadn’t expected was that his dagger strike did not succeed. In the split second he stabbed with the dagger, his wrist was grabbed by a big vice-like hand. This hand was very powerful, and the pain in his wrist was so intense that it felt like his wrist would break any minute.
“Big brother, spare me!” Not only had Zhao Hui’s attack had failed, but he was even discovered and countered, so he immediately begged Liu Gan for mercy. He never thought that he would fail to stab Liu Gan in the back when the latter had his back turned towards him, moreover, at such a close distance.
“You wanted to kill me, and you ask me spare you? Are you kidding me?” Liu Gan laughed coldly. He was able to see through Zhao Hui’s act from the beginning. Zhao Hui clearly had a devious plan, and thus he intentionally approached Liu Gan and Jiang JinYuan. He never expected Zhao Hui to reveal his true nature so easily just by exposing his back to him.
“Big brother, have pity on us two brothers! We have been starving for more than a few days and have been looking for food. I was confused just now, and therefore, it caused me to have such devious thoughts. We are still young and don’t know any better. We won’t dare to repeat this in the future!” Zhao Hui begged in an agonizing cry. This apologetic attitude made it unbearable for Jian JinYuan nearby to not speak up, and he wanted to persuade Liu Gan to spare others where possible as people make mistakes.
