Chapter 571 - 389 Bang! _2

"What a joke!" Yan Haoming refused outright.

He looked at Xu Xin with a disdainful gaze: "Do you know, being parasitic on someone else is almost like being a slave. The owner of the main treehouse can come and go as they please, can control everything in the treehouse, and even your life is theirs. What normal person could tolerate that!"

He took a sip of water from his cup: "Don’t be fooled by how the [Explorers] are all about flying together now. In a real crisis, let’s see if they care about the lives of these people. Once they truly control the lives of most people, see if their beastly nature doesn’t come out."

At the end, he couldn’t help but chide, "Putting your life in someone else’s hands, these people who run to them must have rocks in their heads."

"This..." Xu Xin and Lou Fei’Er looked at each other.

What he said wasn’t without reason.

But the two people across from him were both members of the Explorers, and Lou Fei’Er had already handed over her life a long time ago.

So his words were especially unpleasant to hear.

Lou Fei’Er’s hands started itching again.

Moreover, his words only applied to those strong enough to confidently protect their own lives.

In this perilous world, where danger could arise at any moment, ordinary survivors simply didn’t have the ability to preserve their own lives.

Like in the previous activity, without the help of the Explorers, how many of the people from area 188 would have been left?

Probably not much different from area 187.

And not only was life threatened, but the most terrifying thing was the devastation of the mind.

Facing the fear of the unknown alone was too much for most people.

Among these dead, some probably couldn’t bear the fear and committed suicide.

Under such circumstances, exchanging freedom for a relatively safe group environment was the best choice for most people.

That’s why shelters became the most indispensable gathering places for humans in the apocalypse.

And the explorers were actually providing other survivors with a "shelter."

Regarding what he just said, Xu Xin couldn’t deny it.

If they really encounter dangers they can’t solve...

He really didn’t know what he would do.

Just try to be a decent person.

"By the way, how do you know so much about parasitic treehouses?" Lou Fei’Er asked curiously, "Do you have a parasitic treehouse too?"

"Of course I do." Yan Haoming gave a grin that felt a bit uncomfortable, "I’m very familiar with parasitic treehouses. That woman, she used to be from area 188, right next to me. After the defense battle ended and the safe zones connected, I captured her and her treehouse. Haha, don’t say it, having a woman to vent with in this world is such a relief!"

Then he glanced at Lou Fei’Er, "Ah, sorry, I forgot you’re a woman too."

Lou Fei’Er waved it off, unfazed, "Isn’t this kind of thing normal? If I wasn’t weaker than Xu Xin, I also would want to capture him and use him a hundred times over, over and over. I’m telling you, Xu Xin, just by looks, is really not bad."

Xu Xin’s mouth twitched slightly, suppressing the urge to flick her forehead.

Was this woman running her mouth again at this kind of moment?

"Hahaha, as expected, only we strong ones can relate!" Yan Haoming laughed heartily, "Is Brother Mou as handsome? If not, could you make do with Brother Mou?"

Lou Fei’Er turned her head slowly towards Xu Xin, and her eyes widened a bit, "Seems about as handsome? Hmm, what you said makes sense!"

...Isn’t it about as handsome.

That’s because he’s himself!

Xu Xin was covered in black lines but could only say, "If Sister Fei’Er wants, I..."

Yan Haoming licked his lips and interrupted Xu Xin, continuing, "Hehe, this morning, that woman even tried to run away. She found out from the world channel that the Explorers in area 188 are recruiting people, wanted to ditch her treehouse and run, but I caught her and broke one of her legs, threw her into the little black room. Controlling someone else’s life is just exhilarating! Why would I want to be someone else’s slave?"

"Breaking a leg..." Xu Xin frowned slightly, "Can you heal her?"

"Heal? Why heal? Besides satisfying my desires, what other use is she?" Yan Haoming shrugged, looking indifferent, "It’s the same either way."

Xu Xin and Lou Fei’Er remained silent.

This guy was a typical self-interested person in this country.

Once they have power, they don’t treat others as humans.

If it doesn’t interfere with area 188, Xu Xin didn’t really want to meddle in such affairs.

After all, in this world, there must be plenty of such things happening.

But...

The things he’s been doing are all aimed at area 188.

Just moments ago, he even killed two members of area 188.

This person...

He didn’t want to keep around.

"You have a point..." Lou Fei’Er smiled, "I’ve also always thought about breaking the limbs of that Xu Xin who once killed me, and torturing him severely!"

Xu Xin: "..."

"Right, anyone would want to do that!" Yan Haoming slapped his thigh and said, then he looked at Lou Fei’Er, "But you not having a parasitic treehouse is a bit odd to me."

"...Haven’t I told you all before!" Lou Fei’Er’s face became slightly annoyed, "By my treehouse is Xu Xin’s treehouse! It’s right over there!"

As she spoke, she walked to the window and pointed outside, "See there, that treehouse is Xu Xin’s treehouse!"

Yan Haoming also walked over, looked in that direction, and widened his eyes, "So close?! How can it be so close?"

He instinctively took a step back, then looked at Lou Fei’Er with a somewhat serious expression, "So close...he can actually let you stay here all the time?! Can’t he see your treehouse with just a glance up? This place...is way too dangerous!"

His expression became wary, and then he looked again at the treehouse outside the window, mumbling, "That’s the one? About...twenty kilometers away? Just next to the pillar of light? Good thing I didn’t go over..."

"...Don’t worry, I’ve made a pact with him, he won’t attack my treehouse for now." Lou Fei’Er sighed and said.

"A pact?" Yan Haoming was staring at the treehouse outside, still a bit flustered, pondering Lou Fei’Er’s words.

"What? You and Xu Xin have..." His face suddenly changed drastically, trying to turn his head to look at Lou Fei’Er.

At that moment, he felt the world spin.

"Bang!"

A loud crash!

Lou Fei’Er moved swiftly.

Just like how she dealt with Ma Hongwei before.

Forcefully, she smashed his head onto the floor of the treehouse!
