Chapter 60 -60: Destroying the Body and Erasing the Traces
——In the apocalyptic world, she often couldn’t understand these people.
She had already spared them, yet they insisted on trying to kill her.
Just like she couldn’t understand Su Xue from before.
She had thought she was more than kind to Su Xue, yet she could, for some absurd, seemingly plausible reasons, betray her own, and do so with conviction.
Ultimately, it must be because she seemed too easy to bully, right?
Piling bodies at the front door didn’t look good, and even though she used a silencer, besides the noise, the smell of blood could easily attract mutant animals.
Burn it.
Han Jiaojiao dragged the bodies to an open area a few dozen meters from her courtyard, stacking them up as best as she could. Dragging that Strength Type Superpower User named Brother Hui was particularly tough; his robust physique was incredibly heavy. Han Jiaojiao had to rest frequently before finally getting the body to the intended spot. She silently felt lucky that she had encountered a Strength Type User. If it had been a Metal Type, whose body was impervious to blades and spears, she would have indeed been in for a tough fight.
Han Jiaojiao pulled out the long water hose from the front yard used for watering plants, and vigorously sprayed the ground in front of her home, washing all the bloodstains away. By the time she was done, she was utterly exhausted.
She sighed silently to herself, wishing Yan Xiao were here.
She sat at the doorway for a while, then went to the basement to fetch some gasoline, pouring it over the bodies. She felt a pang of regret while doing so; she had already used up quite a bit of gasoline the last time they raided a nest… With that thought, she only poured half a bucket of gasoline before stopping. She then ran around collecting branches, picking up many without caring whether they were dry or wet, and piled them on the bodies before lighting the fire…
The fire quickly took hold, growing larger with thick smoke.
Han Jiaojiao threw many pieces of rotten wood she found nearby into the fire, and only when she saw that there was no sign of it dying down soon did she feel relieved enough to turn back toward the yard.
“Ah…”
This courtyard gate… what should I do…
Han Jiaojiao tried to straighten the twisted iron bars with her hands, but as expected… they wouldn’t budge.
With such a big gap, anything could get in if she wasn’t careful. Having no other choice, she went back inside to get another gun and replenish her ammunition, then sat on the steps of the flower bed at the courtyard gate to keep watch.
On one side, thick smoke and flames, and on the other, a girl holding a gun, sternly vigilant.
The SUV was speeding until they saw Han Jiaojiao safe and sound sitting at the courtyard gate, then they slowed down.
Yan Xiao yelled from the car, “Oh my God! Jiaojiao! We saw smoke from the mountain and thought the house was on fire!”
Han Jiaojiao had already run over and threw herself into Han Yi’s arms.
“Brother! You’re back!”
Han Yi glanced at the unfamiliar vehicle in front of the gate and then at the puddles on the ground, asking, “What happened?”
“It was those people from the city we fought last time, they came to the villa area, I think they were looking for supplies, one of them was a Strength Type User…” Han Jiaojiao said, puckering her lips in distress, pointing at the broken gate, “He smashed the gate.”
“Damn!” Yan Xiao cursed nearby, “Where are they?”
Han Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose in disgust and pointed toward the fire pit not far away.
Yan Xiao nearly knelt down.
“My dear aunt…” he didn’t know what to say.
Han Yi held Han Jiaojiao’s shoulders, looked her over carefully to see that she wasn’t injured, and then felt relieved.
“Let’s go inside,” he said, taking her hand to lead her inside.
“But the gate…”
“It’s fine, we’ll have them fix it later.”
…
The siblings held hands as they entered the villa while Yan Xiao watched their retreating figures in silence.
Kerry was the last one to get out of the car, still a bit confused about the situation, when Changyuan’s arm draped over his shoulder.
“Kerry, fix the door, will you?”
“Huh?”
“Last time at the repair shop, I remember grabbing a welder.”
“Oh!…” Kerry nodded in understanding and went into the house to grab the tools.
Yan Xiao turned to Changyuan with a complex expression and said, “We were only gone for a moment, and not only did she kill people, four of them… but she also cleaned up the crime scene, destroyed the bodies… Brother Changyuan, why do I feel this is so eerie?”
Even a grown man would be nervous for a long time over such matters, but why did Han Jiaojiao seem so comfortable with it, so… calm? It was almost as if she had done it countless times before…
Yan Xiao knew that when Changyuan worked for Han Ge, many lives had been under his command, including Xiao Jian, who was no saint either. But could Han Jiaojiao really compare with them? She was only eighteen years old…
Changyuan fell silent for a moment. He remembered how calm Han Jiaojiao had been just now; not a forced calm but a genuine tranquility, as if killing had no effect whatsoever on her emotions.
He also remembered the time at the golf club when Han Jiaojiao had stabbed the Alien Species; it was fierce and accurate! A normal person would be somewhat afraid of such a ferocious monster, especially one that suddenly pounced, but she was not only unafraid, she was also able to counterattack calmly. ——The young girl had too many flaws, making it impossible not to suspect her, yet Han Yi remained silent. He couldn’t believe Han Yi hadn’t noticed these oddities.
But… if he didn’t speak, there must be reasons for it…
Changyuan sighed and patted Yan Xiao on the arm, “She also saved Xiao Jian’s life.” If someone had really broken in, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Yan Xiao didn’t say anything for a long while, and after a good while, he managed a self-deprecating smile, “She won’t harm us. I’m usually pretty good at judging people.”
That was indeed the case. Although they hadn’t been together long, they all could see that Han Jiaojiao was protective.
“In that respect, she’s just like her brother,” Changyuan said with a smile.
“What about these things?” There was a van parked at the door, loaded with supplies.
“Don’t let anything go to waste, I’ll drive the van into the yard.” Changyuan then pointed at a fire not far away, “You burn those things. With your Ability, it’ll burn faster.”
With more people, many tasks became much easier.
Gathering supplies, disposing of bodies, repairing the iron gate; everything was well organized.
——Han Yi held Han Jiaojiao’s hands as they sat down in the house, gently stroking her soft hands, without speaking.
Feeling uncertain, Han Jiaojiao couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. Judging by his expression, he didn’t seem angry, but she couldn’t discern any other emotion either.
She thought, should she act more scared? After all, shouldn’t one be scared when their house is robbed? Han Jiaojiao suddenly realized how foolish she’d been! The moment she saw her brother get out of the car, she’d forgotten herself, happily rushing up to him… Maybe she should have shed a few tears?
Was her brother suspicious now? Was he thinking about how to ask her?… If her brother asked, how should she respond?
She decided to pretend to be scared and say she had been terrified just now…
As she was trying to squeeze a few tears from her eyes, Han Yi suddenly looked up, gazing deeply at her, and said in a deep voice, “Brother was wrong.”
Han Jiaojiao stared at him, dumbfounded.
“Brother was wrong. From now on, I will never leave you alone again.”
Han Jiaojiao felt a sudden sting in her nose and tears slid down from her eyes. In fact, she hadn’t really wanted to cry…
