Du Yue raised her hand. In her hand was the baseball bat she had taken out earlier. With the intimidation of the baseball bat, the woman did not dare to move closer. She only stared at Du Yue fiercely. Du Yue was annoyed as she was suddenly woken up from a good sleep. Now, this woman was not only pretending to be crazy but also wanted to fight with her. Du Yue naturally did not have a good expression. “I’ll repeat myself for the last time. Your man trespa.s.sed on private property and deserved to be taught a lesson. If you continue to pretend to be crazy in front of my house, I guarantee that your ending will not be any better than his. If you don’t believe me, you can try.” As she spoke, Du Yue moved her wrist. It was a very casual action, but Du Yue did not expect the woman to really give up because of this action. The moment the baseball bat turned slightly in her hand, the woman’s body started trembling uncontrollably. Then, she collapsed to the ground and hugged her head with both hands.

The woman was thin to begin with, and she looked even more pitiful when her body curled up into a ball. She was mumbling something. Du Yue listened carefully for a while before she could hear what she was mumbling. “I’m sorry, 1 won’t dare to do it again. Don’t hit me, please. I really won’t dare to do it again…” She could not see the woman’s mouth, but these were the words she heard.

Du Yue heard her muttering and had a guess in his heart. This woman was probably beaten by her husband a lot, so she reacted like this. Perhaps he had not only hit her but had also done something even more outrageous. That was why she was so scared when she saw Du Yue moving her wrist. Looking at this woman, Du Yue had no intention of attacking her. The woman had been acting crazy at the door for so long, but Du Yue still had not seen the man who was electrocuted.

“Where’s your husband?” Du Yue asked her.

Although Du Yue asked this question, she did not expect this crazy woman to give her an answer. Looking at her, she probably did not even understand what she was saying. Thus, Du Yue looked around, trying to find where the man was. However, she did not expect the woman on the ground, who was hugging her head and trembling, to raise her head and point to the right. “He’s over there.” Du Yue followed the direction she was pointing at. Then, she thought of something and turned to He Xing. “I’ll go see him. Wait for me at the door.”

He Xing nodded. “Alright, don’t worry.” He Xing was telling Du Yue that she could go over and check it out without any worries. He Xing would stand at the door and watch the situation behind her. When Du Yue walked toward the man, the woman who was lying on the ground stood up shakily and followed him.

Du Yue dodged to the side, trying to stay as far away from that crazy woman as possible. The two of them soon saw the man who had fainted at the corner of the wall. There was a wooden ladder by the wall. The ladder had turned into black charcoal. There was still black smoke around it, and one could smell the burnt wood. Just by looking at the burnt ladder, she knew that the man on the ground must have suffered a lot. Du Yue raised her flashlight and shone it on him. Du Yue saw the man’s appearance clearly.

The man’s exposed skin had turned black, and his clothes were emitting black smoke from the heat. If it were not for the fact that his chest was still heaving, Du Yue would have thought that he was dead. Du Yue squatted down beside him and examined him carefully. Then, she stood up and said to the woman, “He fainted, but it’s not life-threatening. He should be fine after a few days of bed rest.”

There was a hospital in the base, but with the extent of the man’s injuries, the hospital probably would not accept him.

Zuo Mingdong had mentioned before that the base still maintained the habit of organizing people to search for supplies, hunt, and rescue survivors on a regular basis. The situation outside the base was complicated, and injuries were common. The injuries of those people were much more serious than that of the man in front of her. As Du Yue spoke, she kept sizing up the woman. The reason why she said this was because she wanted to see the woman’s reaction.

The woman’s reaction was as she had expected. When the woman heard Du Yue say that the man on the ground would be fine after a few days of rest, she was stunned. However, she quickly became timid again. She squatted on the ground and trembled as she sobbed. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault… Please don’t hit me. I don’t want to die. I should’ve stopped you when you said you wanted to come to her house to s.n.a.t.c.h things. It’s all my fault. I’ll make sure you get to eat even if I have to work like a cow.. Don’t hit me, okay?”
