Chapter 1045: 504 Perfectly Resolved (Second Update)

"You’re insane! They won’t let us talk to people outside, nor let us open the door for them, or else they’ll kill us!"

"What difference does it make if we just wait to die here? Besides, she killed that man, she must be here to help us!"

"How would you know!"

"I don’t care, I’m going to escape anyway!"

After saying this, the young man came out with a shovel.

He handed the shovel to Gu Jiao, "Here."

Just as Gu Jiao was about to take it, he thought of something, quickly took back the shovel, and stepped back, saying to Gu Jiao, "We’re infected with the plague, be careful of getting infected."

"I know." Gu Jiao stepped forward and took the shovel from his hand, "Thanks."

"Hey—" The young man wanted to say something more, but Gu Jiao had already turned around and left.

Gu Jiao dug a pit at the back of the fortress, and halfway through, the young man came over, "Are you digging a pit? Let me help you."

"No need." Gu Jiao said.

Though he was rejected, the young man still slid into the pit with another shovel.

Gu Jiao glanced at him but said nothing more.

The work of two was much faster than one, and soon a big pit was dug. Gu Jiao climbed up and pulled him up as well.

The young man hesitated at first, but seeing she was wearing gloves, which seemed to mean no skin contact, he handed his hand to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao dragged over the body of the dead soldier, threw it into the pit with some firewood, and set it on fire.

The young man swallowed hard, looking both scared and curious, "Did you really kill him?"

He had said that to his roommate earlier to calm his roommate’s nerves, but he found it a little hard to believe himself.

This was a skilled fighter!

"Mm." Gu Jiao hummed in affirmation.

The young man asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why did you kill him? Were your relatives also captured by them?"
