A Filthy Rich Hamster in the Apocalypse

C16

Chapter 16: WuYi’s first stop, Shancheng

Luo Yunhai would’ve never expected that Nie Xiao’s group of three were mercenaries. The temperament of the three would not lose even when compared to those special soldiers he had seen before, and it might even be slightly impactful. Therefore, about them claiming to be ordinary mercenaries, he didn’t believe this at all.

If ordinary ranked mercenaries can be so powerful, then the world would really be turned upside down.

It was a well-known fact that Nie Xiao and his men were among the best of the bests, indeed one of the most efficient and skilled mercenary groups in the mercenary world. Moreover, it was not known whether or not the few who can actually compete with them survived the apocalypse, placing them at the top.

On the road, Wu Wenqi felt it in his best interest to continue chatting with the soldiers. Otherwise, staying only in Nie Xiao and Xiao Yan’s presence every day—it made him feel like he was about to go crazy.

However, this short-lived pleasant atmosphere was completely destroyed when lunch break came. Nie Xiao’s group of three had never experienced such great regret until they saved these people who only did things that made others choke with resentment.

“Aren’t you guys supposed to feed us!? Isn’t it your duty as a soldier to help us, ordinary people?”

This arrogant man had had enough of hitting snags with Nie Xiao’s group, and it seems that he was now on to taking advantage of Luo Yunhai and his men’s identity. He scattered spit with every diatribe, almost pointing at the nose of the young soldier he was scolding.

The other party was obviously a few years younger than him.

Seeing the commotion, Luo Yunhai walked over to smooth things out and give half of his own food. Unfortunately, the other party did not appreciate it, shouting that it was not enough. He even grabbed the second half directly from Luo Yunhai’s hand.

This immediately angered the group of young soldiers standing behind Luo Yunhai. They quickly tried to snatch the food back but before they could even lift a hand, the shameless man laid down on the ground first, yelling, “A soldier that hits people!”

Luo Yunhai and the others were all flushed red in anger because of this shameless behavior. They themselves didn’t have that much food to begin with, with a few of them eating less than enough portions.

When he saw that Luo Yunhai and the men around him were about to succumb under pressure, Wu Wenqi finally stood up to intervene. Hand flexing, he exclaimed with great joy, “Fortunately, Laozi started as a freelance mercenary.”

Wu Wenqi walked over and began kicking the shameless man lying on the ground, beating him until he cried father and called for mommy. Nie Xiao and Xiao Yan were the ones responsible for stopping Luo Yunhai who wanted to rush out.

“Don’t fight with him. You can leave the work of beating people to us, don’t dirty your hands.”

Luo Yunhai and the others: “……”

We actually wanted to mediate.

Wu Wenqi hit the most painful place but didn’t completely hurt it until it became dysfunctional. Satisfied with his beating, he looked at everyone on the opposite side and warned fiercely, “It’s the apocalypse. Whoever rides the horse is still in charge of its shit, nobody is responsible for you other than yourself. Want to eat? Then find food yourself. If you can’t do it, then go eat grassroots and nibble tree barks. Learn from the experience of our ancestors and their fighting spirit during the Long March!”

After warning them, Wu Wenqi turned back. He stuffed the snatched food back into Luo Yunhai’s hands and patted the other party’s shoulders heavily. He touched his nose and said with a grin, “It’s not that I’m scolding you guys. It is your honorable duty and glory to save people from distress, but just remember when you pick someone up in the future, don’t pick the troublesome ones like we did. Just save more good people like us in the future.”
