Chapter 161 - Let's Go, Before I Change My Mind

 After resting for a while, Zhang Yi took out some wake-up promoter from the alien space and gave it to Xu Hao.

 In order to make him wake up quickly, he also threw some ice water on his face.

 After tossing and turning for a while, Xu Hao opened his eyes in exhaustion.

 "Hiss, so icy!"

 Seeing clearly the Zhang Yi in front of him, Xu Hao froze for a moment, followed by a face of ecstasy.

 "Brother Zhang, you ... you made it?"

 He looked towards the left and right, trying to look for Wang Siming's figure, but saw nothing.

 Zhang Yi didn't say anything, and just untied the ropes from his body.

 Xu Hao himself didn't expect that this time he slept and woke up to capture Wang Siming's luxurious shelter!

 The result of lying down and winning made him happy.

 However, he was very curious as to why Zhang Yi woke up so quickly when it was clear that both of them had been hit by the hypnotic gas in the trap.

 And by the looks of it, he had also occupied the shelter.

 "Brother Zhang, where is Wang Siming? How did you clean him up?"

 Xu Hao inquired curiously.

 Zhang Yi said indifferently, "Have you forgotten? I'm the Urban Soldier King, an expert who came down from the mountains, and a mercenary who returned from the battlefield. Is dealing with a mere Wang Siming still a thing?"

 Xu Hao laughed cheerfully.

 "Hahaha! Brother you're really great, I really didn't misjudge you."

 "From now on, I'll follow you with all my heart! With you covering me, I'll never have to worry about survival in the future."

 Zhang Yi picked up a heavy hiking bag from the sofa and placed it in front of Xu Hao.

 "These things are rewards for you. Take a look!"

 Xu Hao's eyes lit up as he rubbed his hands together with a hefty smile, "How can this ... be good!"

 "No need to be polite, this is what you deserve."

 Zhang Yi said faintly.

 Xu Hao was no longer reserved, he hadn't eaten normal food in a long time.

 In front of Zhang Yi, he unzipped his hiking bag.

 A large pile of food was displayed inside.

 Cookies, bread, choco bars, chicken legs, cream cakes, cheesecake ...

 A whole mountaineering bag stuffed to the brim, casually carrying it would have to be thirty to forty pounds!

 Xu Hao's excited mouth was almost grinning behind his ears.

 "Brother Zhang, you're really my own brother! If you need me to do anything in the future, just say so, but if I frown, I'm not human!"

 Xu Hao grabbed a pack of chicken legs and tore the bag while expressing his loyalty to Zhang Yi.

 After Zhang Yi heard these words, a smile finally appeared on his face.

 "Oh? This is what you said! I didn't force you."

 He pointed outside with his chin, "Take these things and leave!"

 It was impossible for Zhang Yi to leave Xu Hao behind.

 But his conscience did not allow him to act ungratefully.

 As much of an asshole as Xu Hao was, he had indeed done him a big favor in this matter.

 So Zhang Yi decided to give him plenty of food and let him go out to earn his own living.

 The corner of Xu Hao's mouth was tearing at the bag of chicken thighs, and when he heard this he froze.

 Time seemed to be frozen as he stared blankly at Zhang Yi, his body frozen.

 Zhang Yi calmly looked down at him, his eyes bland but containing an irresistible will.

 After a while, Xu Hao came back to his senses, his heartbeat accelerated wildly, and he even experienced tinnitus, as if there were electric currents running in his ears.

 He could not accept such a reality.

 It was clear that he had successfully joined Zhang Yi's team, and it was clear that he had helped him get this luxurious and safe shelter.

 But why didn't he allow himself to stay?

 Xu Hao looked at Zhang Yi, and his eyes instantly reddened.

 He said to Zhang Yi with supplicating eyes, "Brother Zhang, what ... did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

 He hoped that it was just him hallucinating.

 However, soon after, Zhang Yi said to him word for word, "You can't stay here. Take the payment I gave you and leave this place!"

 As soon as Zhang Yi's words fell, two lines of tears instantly flowed down from the corners of Xu Hao's eyes.

 He clutched the hiking bag in front of him and took two agitated steps back, curling his body into the corner as a way to gain a sense of security.

 "You promised to keep me! You personally promised me!"

 Zhang Yi shook his head somewhat helplessly.

 "I did promise you yes. But I can deny it ah! Everyone is an adult and should understand that verbal agreements are the easiest to back out of."

 "It was like that in the past, let alone now."

 Zhang Yi played the scoundrel in a very honorable manner.

 For the sake of his own safety, he could abandon any moral code.

 This behavior made Xu Hao cry even harder, and he curled up like a helpless child, roaring at Zhang Yi in grief, "You can't do this to me! You can't keep your word!"

 "I've done you such a great favor, I don't want you to give me anything else, as long as you protect me to live. Can't you even accept this condition?"

 "If you are like this, you will end up alone in the future, and there won't be anyone who will trust you and stay by your side!"

 Zhang Yi heard this, but he only smiled faintly with a contemptuous expression.

 "Oh, so what? At least I can still live."

 "But if I cause myself to lose my life because of my soft heart, I'll have nothing left!"

 He didn't bother debating with Xu Hao because it was completely unnecessary.

 The strength between the two was not at the same level.

 If he told Xu Hao to do what he wanted, Xu Hao had to do what he wanted.

 Zhang Yi waved his hand towards the outside, "Let's go! Save this food, it's enough for you to eat for a month. Find a way to survive during this month. I've already been merciful to you."

 Xu Hao desperately shook his head, "No, I'm not leaving!"

 It was too cold outside, and the whole way from the Yuelu neighborhood was a world of snow and ice.

 Leaving from here, death was only a matter of time.

 After feeling this warm and happy shelter, how could he possibly leave?

 Zhang Yi smiled.

 Then he raised his gun.

 "Do you have to force me to go this far? I hope that the two of us can separate peacefully instead of making me point a gun at your head."

 After seeing Zhang Yi raise his gun, the look of fear on Xu Hao's face intensified.

 "I can't leave, I still have the poison you put on me!"

 Zhang Yi's tone grew cold, "There's no poison at all. It's just a regular drug with color, you can't die!"

 Xu Hao's face paled.

 He turned out to have been tricked by Zhang Yi.

 "Then you can't kick me out either! How can you ... you renege on your word!"

 He raised the hiking bag in his hand, "I helped you knock down a shelter, and this is all you give me? This is far from enough!"

 Zhang Yi took a deep breath.

 His good temper was slowly being drained.

 He stared at Xu Hao, his tone becoming emotionless.

 "But don't forget, you also owe me a life!"

 "What? Where did that come from!"

 "Of course there is. When you were in the neighborhood, you were originally supposed to be beaten to death by me! But I didn't beat you to death, so don't you owe me a life?"

 Zhang Yi said, "Now, I'm using one of your lives and this bag of food as a reward. You've earned a lot!"

 He pointed at the door with his pistol and opened a door with his left hand through a remote control.

 "Get outta here! Leave late and maybe I'll change my mind."
