Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 380 - 378: The Death of Xiao Mei (8)

"Hmph! Now you realize your mistake? Too late! Of course, if Xiao Mei forgives you, I might not hold you accountable!"

Zhao Huilong was stunned! He never imagined that the other party would give him such an answer, and he immediately put on a mournful face and continued to plead: "Brother Wei, for old times’ sake, I’ve been serving you during this period! Besides, you’ve already beaten and scolded me as I deserve! I truly realize my mistakes! At least give me a chance to reform myself!"

His words were full of emotion and sincerity, which could have easily moved others with his genuine remorse.

But Wei Dazhuang was not like others; he had witnessed Zhao Huilong’s entire transformation into a villain.

Perhaps he could tolerate the other’s betrayal; perhaps he could overlook the latter’s arrogance; but he absolutely could not accept this beast’s disrespect towards the brutally humiliated and deceased young girl.

"I just said, I’m not denying you a chance. Look~ Xiao Mei is right here. As long as you can make her say she forgives you! I’ll let you go immediately!"

"No~ Brother Wei, you... you’re making things difficult for me. Xiao, Xiao Mei, she’s already... How could I possibly?"

A dead person cannot be resurrected. Um! No, to be accurate, a dead person cannot return as a human.

After all, from the world’s perspective, resurrection isn’t something new anymore. But speaking human language after resurrection is still something impossible.

Hence, Zhao Huilong being so worried about his fate was perfectly reasonable.

"Hmph!" With a cold chuckle, Wei Dazhuang patted the young man’s back, then said in an extremely icy voice: "You haven’t even tried, so how do you know it’s impossible? Why not..."

"Clang!" He suddenly fell to the ground, but then Zhao Huilong sprang up, flipped to the side, and as he leapt out of Wei Dazhuang’s reach, his legs started scrambling wildly like a gopher on the earth’s surface, completely regardless of the recent pain, and then frantically retreated, all the while pleading, "No, no, don’t kill me!"

Hearing the young man’s pleas, Wei Dazhuang glanced at him disdainfully and then replied indifferently, "Killing you would only dirty my knife," and then he stood up.

"You just stay here and fend for yourself. If you’re lucky enough to survive, then it’s your good fortune, Xiao Mei has forgiven you! Otherwise, hmph... you’ll get what you deserve!"

After saying this, Wei Dazhuang turned around and walked straight out.

"Brother Wei! Brother Wei! Ah!" Ignoring the pain, seeing Wei Dazhuang truly turn and leave, a fear more terrifying than any previous beating or scolding rose involuntarily from the depths of his heart.

But it was no wonder Zhao Huilong felt this way, after all, he had been kept confined in the dark City Management Bureau for two months straight.

Regardless of whether he possessed the ability to live on his own, just this feeling of loneliness in the wilderness was already enough to make his hair stand on end, absolutely horrifying.

"Brother Wei! Don’t leave me here alone! Brother Wei! I realized my mistake! Brother Wei..."

"You knew this would happen; why do it in the first place! In this world, debts must be paid sooner or later! This is the price you have to pay!" After finishing his cold sentence, Wei Dazhuang forcefully kicked Zhao Huilong, who was holding tightly to the door handle.

With his legs injured earlier, how could Zhao Huilong withstand such a kick now? He instantly staggered and fell to the ground, straight into the underbrush nearby, rolling into a cluster of bushes.

"Vroom! Vroom!" Eardrum-piercing car roars.

By the time Zhao Huilong struggled to get up from the ground and rushed back into the woods, the van Wei Dazhuang drove had already disappeared, leaving only a thick cloud of black smoke swirling in the silent air!

"You MF! Bastard! You’ll die a terrible death! Do you think going back like this will be fine? Leaving me here means you’re doomed! You..." Like a shrew, Zhao Huilong leaned on a tree trunk for support to maintain his rather strained standing position, pointing a finger in the direction Wei Dazhuang had left.

He spewed filthy curses like a machine gun, cursing from Wei Dazhuang’s eighty-year-old mother to six or seven-year-old children, almost everyone Zhao Huilong could think of, regardless of whether they actually existed in Wei Dazhuang’s family.

But as the cursing continued, the eerie calmness increasingly plagued Zhao Huilong’s heart.

The various unbearable memories of the past at the City Management Bureau flooded Zhao Huilong like a beast.

Fear! Fright! And uncertainty about future life! All of it kept Zhao Huilong nervously glancing around.

As if at any moment, a beast would leap out and devour him whole.

Thinking of the entrenching tool left in the woods, Zhao Huilong hobbled back over.

He desperately needed these things to bolster his courage so he could leave this damn place as quickly as possible. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Arriving at Xiao Mei’s grave, the entrenching tool lay there quietly, and thinking about how Wei Dazhuang had ambushed him earlier, a nameless rage surged into Zhao Huilong’s heart.

"You B! Stupid whore! It’s all your fault! If you’re dead, stay dead! How dare you bring me misfortune! I... I!" The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and Zhao Huilong’s fury reached its peak as he lifted his foot to kick at Xiao Mei’s grave marker.

But unexpectedly, due to his excessive force and the rubble from earlier digging that wasn’t cleared away, Zhao Huilong, standing on one leg, slipped again and tragically fell to the ground.

This is the perfect example of stealing a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to bait it! Or, as the saying goes, those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind!

Right now, everything Zhao Huilong endured was a perfect explanation of it all!

Man proposes! Heaven disposes! It’s not that retribution doesn’t come, it’s just that the time hasn’t arrived!

Feeling the sharp pain in his back, Zhao Huilong thought his shinbone was about to break and was more annoyed than ever.

He thought to himself: no matter what, today, I’m going to dig up this b*’s corpse and expose it to the wild forevermore!

Sinister thoughts! Wicked intentions! Zhao Huilong’s face formed a cold and cunning smile.

He used the entrenching tool for support to slowly get up from the ground and then took hesitant steps towards Xiao Mei’s grave.

Suddenly, just as Zhao Huilong raised the iron spade, preparing to carry out his evil plan, a chill wind swept through the woods from the north, causing countless dead leaves to fall.

Immediately, the previously bright sky changed suddenly, and the dark clouds almost instantly covered the sky, plunging the woods into endless gloom.

Zhao Huilong froze where he stood, the sudden change filling him with immense terror. He instinctively took two steps back and suddenly noticed a faint rustling sound dragging along the forest floor in the distance... (To be continued.
