Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even though He Xing did not say anything, Du Yue was certain that the base had given him more than that. There must be other supplies! What kind of weapons did he sell to the base? They probably were not the cold weapons that he had sold at his stall before. They were good stuff, but they were far from enough to exchange for so many things.
Du Yue’s eyes were full of curiosity as she looked at He Xing. She could no longer hide her curiosity. However, they were just ordinary neighbors, so she was too embarrassed to ask for too much detail. She could only nod in response, then she silently lowered her head and began to eat.
At this moment, He Xing’s voice sounded. “Actually, I’m a weapons merchant. The base wanted to invite me to work with them, but I didn’t agree. I’m used to being alone, and I don’t like to be controlled. The base took a step back and invited me to help out occasionally when I had time. In return, they’d give me generous rewards. I agreed.”

But it was illegal to sell arms in their country. When her eyes fell on He Xing’s short silver hair, she understood what was going on. He Xing should be a mixed-blood, right? She just did not know where he was from. Perhaps the other country he was from allowed the sale of weapons.
It was the apocalypse now, so it was not surprising that other countries allowed the sale of arms. Du Yue hummed faintly, indicating that she understood. He Xing put down his chopsticks and stared straight at Du Yue. “I can give you some if you need them.”
Du Yue thought He Xing was going to do something when he suddenly stared at her, so she immediately became alert. However, after hearing He Xing’s words, she looked at him with bright eyes and asked, “Really? What do you have?” The weapons that the base spent so much on must be extraordinary things! If He Xing was willing to sell some to her, she would naturally be overjoyed!
He Xing smiled and picked up his chopsticks again. “Eat first. I’ll show them to you later! But this time, I don’t want cash!”
“Understood.” Du Yue smiled. She did not have any cash for him either. At a time like this, who still had cash?! After the two of them finished their meal, Du Yue helped him clean up the table and wash the dishes. Then, she quietly waited for He Xing to show her the weapons.
He Xing did not keep her in suspense and went straight to the bedroom. Du Yue sat on the stool and waited quietly. She felt the cool breeze blowing from the fan behind her, and her slightly anxious heart gradually calmed down. In less than five minutes, He Xing came out of the bedroom with a pure black leather suitcase. Du Yue glanced at the texture of the suitcase and knew that it must be valuable.
A weapon that was stored in such a high-end leather case must be an extremely rare weapon!
He Xing placed the box on the coffee table and reached out to open it. Du Yue watched his movements with a serious expression. It was only then that she realized He Xing’s skin was very fair. His fair skin was not the kind of sickly pale that came from not seeing the sun for a long time. His complexion looked well and healthy. The joints of the man’s hands were distinct, and the nails on his slender fingers were trimmed very cleanly.

He Xing opened the box with a click. Du Yue also fixed her eyes on the box. There was a silver gun in the box. The gun was exquisite and small, and it glowed with a metallic luster. He Xing picked up the gun, removed the magazine, and loaded the bullets one by one from the box. Du Yue’s heart skipped a beat when she saw He Xing’s skillful movements.
However, before she could say anything, He Xing raised the gun and aimed it at a square stone on a box three meters away. As He Xing pulled the trigger, the sound exploded instantly, and debris flew all over the ground.
The stone was not pierced through. It had completely shattered, turning into dust and debris. Du Yue could not believe that such a small gun could have such shocking power! What she found most unbelievable was that He Xing did not make a sound before he fired the gun.
If she had not seen it with her own eyes, Du Yue would never have believed the scene before her. He Xing fiddled with the gun and turned it around a few times before handing it to Du Yue. “Give it a try.”
