Chapter 144: Where Can We Go?
The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Facing hundreds of armed looters, the whole world seemed to be still, and even the wind stopped breathing.
Liora and Xu Kai walked back behind the vehicle and looked at each other calmly, but they did not start talking and only stared at each other. Liora felt slightly nervous, even though there was nothing to feel nervous about.
Then, after clearing her throat, she finally said, "I don’t plan to fight with these people... they are just civilians. It is too cruel to just kill them because they are desperate to get food."
Xu Kai did not answer her, and Liora was suddenly upset and murmured in her heart, "This man is still the same after so long. It looks like it is his hobby to ignore people."
She only wanted to talk to him because it would be better to discuss it beforehand. What would happen if they both had different opinions? She did not want to fight, but if he did not want to let these people live, then it would be really chaotic, so why not better discuss it? But if she had remembered his personality before, she would not have bothered to talk to him.
Just as she was going back, she heard his slightly hoarse voice, "Neither do I have the intention." And just like that, he left with these words. Liora’s eyes slightly curved, and she walked towards the silent crowd and her team members, who were curiously eyeing her.
After walking to the front, it was Liora who spoke first. Her voice was as calm as water, but it carried an irresistible force.
"Let’s talk."
Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. At that moment, it was as if a tight string loosened a little. The looters looked at each other; some hesitated to put down their guns, and some had a fire of hope in their eyes.
Xu Kai stood behind her, his eyes as calm as a deep pool. He did not interrupt but just silently watched Liora’s back. He knew that she was not a person who would easily compromise, but she was definitely not a madman who killed people.
The two sides moved slowly and distanced themselves in the middle of the road.
