Inside the Dark

The next morning, Luo Jun went to the pond to rinse his mouth. He felt it was very necessary to make a few toothbrushes, but the current conditions made it difficult for him to find time to make toothbrushes.

Making hair was still very simple. No matter if it was animal fur or his own hair, he could make very good teeth. It was just that he needed to scout behind the big mountain today and stationed by the river where the mercenaries were.

He should have set off last night, but his own physical strength did not support it, and it was also very likely to have an accident climbing the mountain at night.

Although last night was the best time for reconnaissance, taking advantage of the enemies not realizing that their sniper had been killed, it would have been best to counterattack.

Luo Jun ate some grilled fish, drank some water, then carried the SV-98 on his back.

Lorna also got up at this time. With the intimacy of last night, she looked better than usual. She went to the pond to rinse her mouth and washed very carefully.

Women love cleanliness very much, which is also one of the reasons why men like them.

She came to Luo Jun.

"Mr. Luo, are you going out again?"

"Yes, I have to scout the environment behind the big mountain this time. If I don't come back before dark, you can rest first by yourselves. When I come back, I will call out the names of you three outside the door. If you don't hear me call out your three names, then you can defend yourself with this gun."

Luo Jun handed Lorna a pistol.

Lorna had received ordinary military training and fully understood how to use a pistol.

She looked at the pistol in her hand and finally nodded.

"Be careful to protect the pistol, don't let the two of them take it to play with."

Lorna understood Luo Jun's implication and carefully hid the pistol. Luo Jun now had three pistols, all Glocks, one of the most popular pistols for American police. Some models had a magazine capacity of nineteen rounds, while the three Luo Jun had seized were all seventeen rounds.

Naturally, Luo Jun would not take the M16 with the two pistols and the SV-98 sniper rifle.

But he couldn't leave it in the shelter either. He took it somewhere else to hide it, so as not to cause the women to quarrel and injure their own people with the gun. Also, hiding the gun had another advantage that when all the guns in his hand were confiscated, he could take out the weapon from the hiding place of the gun after escaping and kill back, catching the enemy off guard.

After Luo Jun left, Li Shi and Jenny woke up too.

After washing up, they also started making breakfast.

Li Shi thought of what happened between Luo Jun and Lorna last night. She couldn't help feeling upset. She always felt a sense of violation.

Besides learning some things between men and women from biology class, she really hadn't had any contact. When she studied abroad, she didn't live on campus either. The pick-up and drop-off were by a private driver, without the collective life of the dormitory. This lacked the independent space for her to grow up as a girl. Otherwise, she could definitely hear the details from her classmates' casual talk about their boyfriends' heights and appearances.

Although it was pitch black in the shelter last night, she could still feel Lorna's actions and breathing.

She could even visualize all the pictures.

Although she was not very happy, she also had no reason to be angry, because Luo Jun was neither a relative nor a friend to her after all.

If Luo Jun was her boyfriend or husband, she would have the right to get angry, so she thought, she was really stupid, why should she get angry?

Lorna understood Li Shi's thoughts.

She talked to Li Shi alone, "Miss Li, do you like Mr. Luo?"

Lorna asked so bluntly that Li Shi was a little nervous and at a loss for a while.

She didn't even know what this feeling was, how could she say she liked him?

"No, don't talk nonsense. He is so much older, at least ten years older than me. How could I like him?"

Li Shi denied reflexively, which made Lorna smile, "I thought you had some special feelings for Mr. Luo. It's good that there are none. I and Mr. Luo are just taking what we need. He is not the type of man I like, although he is very charming. But I am not in the same circle of life as him. Once we leave the island, we won't intersect again."

Lorna told Li Shi her true thoughts.

Li Shi was a little surprised. She had always thought Lorna liked Luo Jun.

But on second thought, Lorna's thinking was different from her traditional Chinese thinking, so she didn't feel it strange either.

"Does he know?"

Li Shi suddenly felt a little sympathy for Luo Jun, thinking that Lorna had deceived his feelings.

Lorna laughed even more.

"A man like him doesn't have love at all, nor believes in love. Everything is just taking what you need."

"How can you judge others with your own perspective?" Li Shi retorted angrily.

"Haha, you are still too naive. Don't be fooled by Luo Jun's gentlemanly appearance. That's just his attitude towards life, and doesn't represent what's inside him. He can treat you like a gentleman, and he can kill you without blinking an eye. After he killed those two people, did you see him unable to sleep or show any remorse?"

Lorna's words made Li Shi swallow her saliva.

Is Luo Jun really a two-faced person?

"If Jenny hadn't followed that night, do you think he would have killed her?"

Lorna's question made Li Shi fall silent again, unable to answer.

Because she felt Luo Jun might really have done it. His eyes and tone were so serious and stern that night.

"But when we landed, the first time we separated from Jenny and the others, he didn't make a move on Jack and the others either. Wouldn't Jack and the others still reveal our whereabouts if they were caught?"

Li Shi gave a counter-example.

Lorna just smiled again, "Do you think he is really kind?"

"What else?" Li Shi was unconvinced.

"First, if they were really killed by the island's mysterious armed forces, Luo Jun could gain intelligence from it. To put it simply, the two of them were expendable, after all, Luo Jun had no more strength to scout at that time, so using two guinea pigs to test the safety of the island was more cost-effective. Second..."

At this point, Li Shi was already shaking. She felt how dark Luo Jun's heart must be if this was true!

"What's the second?" Li Shi continued to ask.

"Second, what would we think if Luo Jun killed those two people who didn't follow him in front of us? Wouldn't he be afraid that we would slit his throat while he was sleeping? He needs a good persona."

Lorna's words made Li Shi swallow her saliva again.

She had never thought things were so complicated.

And the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.

If it was said that Luo Jun was a lustful person, it would be understandable that he saved her and Jenny, but he didn't even touch them.

From a self-interest point of view, she and Jenny were worthless to Luo Jun!

Luo Jun was a killer. It made sense for him to use self-interest. Applying it to others might be wrong, because there could always be people with very noble thoughts who like to help others unconditionally.

But what about Luo Jun?

He was not an ordinary person, he was a heartless killer!
