These men had increased their attributes from completing quests. Their objective in the forest could be to explore, finish their quests, so there were some items found on their bodies.
The money gathered was 40 silver dollars and there were rewards that were exclusive from quests, like the water and medicine, where were quite precious.
A pity was that there were no armours on these men, and other than one rusty long sword, there were nothing else. Lushan Baomu had also stripped away all their clothes, clean them to make bandages. Although he was quite frightened in the whole process, but he still gritted his teeth to complete the tasks.
Xia Mo sat next to the stream. She started to grind her two rusty swords and also occasionally looked at the youngster and the young woman.
When Lushan Baomu went to take care of the corpses, he managed to detect that one of the young girls who still alive, and provided first aid to her with some medicine. And then the two people was in an awkward state after that.
They came to the stream, and the youngster kept washing his hands, while the young girl was rubbing her body by sitting in the water, and intermittently wiped her tears.
Xia Mo only looked at them coldly and did not give any suggestions.
To kill someone or being raped was not a pleasure experience. It could only serve as a price for growing up and if one could endure the harsh reality, they could achieve the final victory.
In the game of DUST where humans were not binded by any laws and morals, they mimicked the behaviour of humanity who were at the end of the world. Although it sounded cruel, but if one had to become the new generation of humans after surviving in the game, they had to experience something similar to the terror from the “end of world”.
Discipline would be instilled eventually. But before that, there would be a dark age, where players could only survive and adapt to such darkness.
Women were destined to be weaklings in the end of the world. Xia Mo glanced at the teary young girl, and eventually the former continued grinding her sword and thought nothing more.
After a period of time, the rust marks on the sword were gone and they even became shiny. She stood up, checked the stats of her swords and realized that the attack stats were much higher than the one that the baldie had used earlier.
She was extremely satisfied, and swung her swords a few times to understand its weight and then kept them in her “sword sheath” on her back.
Lushan Baomu had just finished starting a fire and was grilling fishes, and started to wave at her:” Liu Huo sister, the fish will be ready soon.”
Xia Mo smiled. To have someone handle your daily chores was a wonderful feeling, but this would be short-lived.
While eating the grilled fish, Xia Mo was silent as before, and the young girl had puffy eyes from all the crying and she was holding her grilled fish and had no appetite. She was trying to stuff some meat into her mouth for the sake of it. The young girl ate while stealing a few peeks at Xia Mo.
She was terrified by how she had killed the men with her clean attacks and how she was unfazed by her own murderous acts. She could not understand how there could be such a person…
“There is something on my face?” Xia Mo did not even need to lift her head up as she could felt the gaze from the young girl.
“No…” the young girl was petrified and immediately stop looking at Xia Mo. And then opened her mouth, “Thank you for what you did before.”
The reason that she helped this young girl was because of the long sword that the baldie possessed. Xia Mo did not care about anything else.
After Xiao Mo did not reply, the young girl started to feel the sadness from her heart again, and lowered her head and started crying.
Lushan Bamou wanted to comfort her, but upon discerning Xia Mo’s unconcerned expression, he did nothing and just ate his own food.
When the stamina was fully recovered, Xia Mo informed the youngster that they would return to the starter village tomorrow. Although he was perplexed, but since Xia Mo was the leader, he nodded and the young girl next to him was aghast.
The next morning, Xia Mo made her way to the starter village, followed closely by the other two. After emerging out from the edge of the forest, she continued ahead, but the young girl known as Greenlight, stretched out her hands and held Xiao Mo’s arms. She pleaded with her,” Liu Huo sister, the men followed us from the village. If I return now, and if they discover what happen, what should I do? Can you save me again? I promise I will repay the favour…”
Xia Mo glanced lightly at Greenlight, and her emotionless glance made her released her grip. The former smiled and pointed out, “Why do you follow me? We don’t know each other.”
She continued ahead without turning back.
Lushan Baomu watched Xia Mo’s back and the astounded Greenlight, and he pulled the latter with him.
In the starter village, there not as much commotion as before. After passing the beginning phrase and chaos, the surviving players understood that the reckless slaughters were not a long term plan. To truly survive, one should raise their own abilities. After a few days, there was order in the starter village.
This was something unexpected.
Lushan Baomu was the first time back in the village, and after recalling his past, he was terrified and held Greenlight’s hand tighter. Greenlight was also scared, and the two of them supported each other while following Xia Mo closely.
Xia Mo stopped and turned around, and slowly announce,” We will separate from her. Raise your own overall attributes in the future. Take care.”
Her words shocked Lushan Baomu, and he quickly pulled Xia Mo’s arms,” Liu Huo sister, you don’t want me?”
Xia Mo looked at the youngster quietly, and answered,” When did I accepted you?”
The youngster was stupefied by her response and was speechless. When she saw that his face had turned green, she slapped him on his shoulder,” Never put your fate in someone’s else hands. Otherwise, you will die quickly. I believe you want to survive.”
“Liu Huo Sister…” the youngster replied.
Xia Mo shaked her head,” You are knowledgeable in medicine and have high Wisdom. You should think of ways to make use of that advantage so that more people will rely on you.”
After finishing her words, she did not look at the youngster and walked away.
Lushan Baomu saw her back, and he could feel his moist eyes. He shouted at Xia Mo,” Will we meet again?”
Xia Mo nearly paused in her footsteps, she glanced her face sideways at the crying youngster. She smiled and started to bid farewell,” If you are still alive, we will meet again.”
At this instance, Lushan Baomu was determined to carry on living so that he could once again meet this person.
