Chapter 19 p4
After walking for a few minutes, Ji Yang seemed to notice that something was wrong and stomped her foot. “Why is it taking so long? Are you trying to take me somewhere?”
Sensing that its owner was not in a good mood, Xixi also immediately bared its teeth with a fierce expression.
The man’s eyes immediately widened, and his face was full of a wronged expression. “How could that be?! I just want to sell some jade. If you don’t believe me, look, I still have some on me. I’ll leave this with you as a deposit first. Don’t worry, nothing will happen. I, Xu Datou, am registered with the government!”
Ji Yang hesitated until the other party stuffed a jade pendant into her hand.
Feeling the thumb ring heat up slightly, she knew that this was also a good thing. The quality was not as good as the jade pendant just now, but it was still okay. She said reluctantly, “Alright then.”
The man chuckled, nodded, and continued to coax her forward. This time, the speed was much faster.
Ji Yang didn’t make a fuss. Although she was dissatisfied, she also followed quickly.
It wasn’t until they had walked out of the range that the government could manage that the man immediately took two steps back and clapped his hands. Five greasy and bloated men immediately appeared from the surrounding openings. With disgusting smiles on their faces, they came towards Ji Yang.
Xixi’s fur immediately stood on end. It slightly lowered its upper body, bared its teeth, and let out a low growl, warning them not to come over.
“Yo, little sister, this dog is well-fed,” a man slurped, his eyes fixed on Xixi. “I love to eat dog meat. I haven’t had it in a long time. I can finally have a taste today.”
Ji Yang was disgusted and looked away.
The other few were no better, approaching step by step.
But they were afraid of Xixi, and no one dared to take the first step.
Xu Datou, on the other hand, retreated to a safe distance and urged, “Hurry up, grab the person and ask for the location of the supplies! Don’t dawdle, it won’t be good if someone notices. This person just traded with Luo Laosan.”
The few of them’s expressions changed slightly, and they no longer dawdled. They brandished the sticks and cleavers in their hands and pounced towards the human and the dog. The focus was on the dog; they didn’t take a little girl seriously.
Ji Yang quickly squatted down and untied Xixi’s leash, giving the command, “Xixi, go!”
Xixi roared and chose one person. Its paws went straight for the other person’s face. The hit was on target. The moment the tragic scream rang out, the stick in his hand also swung over, but Xixi quickly twisted its body to dodge and then went for the next person.
There were only six people here in total. The alley was spacious, and there was snow. People were far less agile in the snow than animals. It was a good opportunity to train Xixi.
Ji Yang not only trained herself every day, but also occasionally trained Xixi. Of course, she was not a professional trainer. She just taught it how to catch people and bite people according to the teaching methods on the internet.
Fortunately, Xixi was a smart little dog and had a sufficient sense of crisis, so it had mastered it quite well.
Seeing it effortlessly dodge the siege of three people and find opportunities to sneak attack, Ji Yang was very satisfied with the training results. Just as she was about to make a move, she caught a glimpse of another group of people at the entrance of the alley. She decisively switched the pistol she was about to take out for a dagger.
The other three were also stunned by the dog’s combat power, but they soon thought that Ji Yang might be the weak point and immediately turned their attention to Ji Yang.
As long as the owner was in their hands, the dog might beg for mercy.
They were just about to attack when Ji Yang had already rushed towards them with a dagger, completely unprepared. The man in front only felt a coldness on his neck.
He had already swung his cleaver, but his wrist was blocked by a force and was stuck there. Then, he only felt the heat quickly drain from his body, and he fell to the ground without any support.
“Brother!” one of them roared, “I’ll fight you!”
Ji Yang pursed her lips and didn’t say anything, directly meeting his attack. She easily blocked his attack. With a “holy crap” from the shadows, she found an opportunity and ruthlessly kicked the other person’s fatal weak point.
“Ah!” The heart-wrenching scream even startled the dog.
But soon, Ji Yang, holding a dagger, got close, and the tip of the knife slid across his throat, making him unable to scream.
The third person, seeing this scene, immediately shouted, “Run—”
Before he could finish the word, a dagger flew straight towards him, hitting him in the neck.
At this time, on Xixi’s side, it suddenly took a bite and pounced, biting off a piece of the man’s flesh. This was much more painful than being scratched by its claws. In addition, with the other wounds on his face, the person directly covered his face and lost his combat power, falling to the ground.
There were two left.
But those two also realized that they were not to be trifled with and decisively turned to flee. Ji Yang didn’t want to leave any loose ends and immediately chased after them. Another dagger appeared in her hand, and when she got a little closer to them, she threw it directly!
It hit the back of the neck with great precision.
But because of this, she was delayed for a moment, causing the last person to pull away from her. He was about to escape through an alley.
But just as he entered, the next second, the person flew back and fell to the ground.
Ji Yang glanced at the few people who came out of the alley and gave a polite, faint smile. “Thank you.”
Then, she silently took out a third dagger and quickly stabbed it into the other person’s chest. Then, she pulled it out, wiped the dagger with snow, and then went to retrieve the other daggers. At the same time, she searched the bodies of these few people to see if there were any missed jade or other things.
Her luck was not bad. She found two thumb rings and a jade pendant. The quality was quite good. She threw them all into her space.
And at the entrance of the alley, Luo Laosan closed his jaw that was about to drop. “How many daggers did she bring?!”
The others: …
Good question!
But they wanted to ask even more, this girl smiled so gently and greeted them after killing someone. Was her mentality really normal?!
She praised and rubbed Xixi’s dog face. Ji Yang saw the blood on its paws and face and frowned. She grabbed some clean snow from the side and also washed the dog.
When there were no various cleaning products, this method was very convenient. A few wipes with snowflakes on the dog’s body could take away a lot of dirt.
After wiping, she let Xixi shake its fur, shaking off a lot of snowflakes. It was a clean and beautiful dog again.
Ji Yang stood up satisfied. Seeing that they hadn’t left yet, she was a little strange.
At this time, the man in the lead suddenly walked towards her. Luo Laosan followed closely behind, and the others were two steps behind. Two of them were still looking at the corpses. After looking, their gazes towards Ji Yang became exceptionally respectful.
She was a ruthless person, killing six people without batting an eye.
—
Luo Laosan’s smile was enthusiastic and respectful. “Miss Ji, this is my boss, Xie Muzhi. Just now, I saw you leave with this scumbag. I was afraid you would be at a disadvantage, so I called my boss over. Of course, Miss Ji is very brave, so I was overthinking it.”
Ji Yang quickly shook her head and said with a smile, “Thank you anyway.”
Goodwill was a luxury in the apocalypse. After accepting someone’s goodwill, whether it was used or not, it was still polite to treat them with respect.
Xie Muzhi also greeted her. “Miss Ji.”
Ji Yang glanced at him, her eyes sparkling. “Mr. Xie, hello.”
Xie Muzhi looked at her. “Miss Ji’s skills are not bad. I happen to be short of fighters here. All the benefits will be excellent, and I can also guarantee the safety of your family. I wonder if Miss Ji is interested?”
“No,” Ji Yang refused outright. “I’m naturally lazy and undisciplined. I don’t want a boss to manage me, and I don’t have any family to protect.”
Luo Laosan was dumbfounded, his heart aching. He looked at her with the same regret as if he were watching her waste food.
Ji Yang smiled.
The next second, Xie Muzhi spoke. “Alright then. It’s a pity that I can’t work with Miss Ji. But Miss Ji’s skills, I wonder who you learned from? They seem a little familiar?”
Ji Yang couldn’t smile anymore.
The man was dressed in light-colored clothes. Because of the extreme cold, the clothes were slightly thick, and his figure couldn’t be seen. But what could be seen at a glance was that he was tall, a head taller than Luo Laosan next to him.
His hat and scarf covered most of his face, but his goggles were taken off, revealing handsome and elegant eyebrows and eyes. If there were no accidents, he was a great handsome man.
And Ji Yang was sure that this person was a great handsome man.
Because she had seen him in her previous life.
Of course, at that time, she didn’t know that Xie Muzhi was the head of the “daoye” in Changnan City. She was just in urgent need of a coach. When she was on a mission, she had encountered a group of foreign mercenaries and almost died there. When she returned to the base, she took out a large sum of points and found a “daoye” to find a master.
The other party had searched and searched, but those masters couldn’t even beat her. Just as she was about to ask the “daoye” for a refund, Xie Muzhi appeared.
This person was handsome. At first, Ji Yang thought he was all for show, but when they officially fought, she couldn’t beat him. Her own strength was already considered very strong, but in terms of skills, it was all based on her piecemeal learning from various masters. She couldn’t compare to the other party. In just a few moves, he could find an opening and beat her up.
She grimaced in pain, but she was still excited. The points were not spent in vain.
Just like that, Ji Yang learned from the other party for a month. This person also taught her everything he knew. He had time all day long. As long as she asked, he could answer immediately. He would also help her change her moves according to her power habits, making it easier for her to kill in one blow.
She benefited a lot. Of course, the price was also very expensive. The poor Ji Yang couldn’t afford to renew the contract, so she only learned for a month in total.
Those moves had now been integrated into her skills. More or less, they had been changed due to her personal habits and power angles.
She didn’t expect that this person would still notice something was wrong.
