Xu An’s gaze swept casually over Lin Zhuoran, then carelessly landed on the man who had spoken.
“Do you need something?”
Xu An felt a degree of approval for Lin Zhuoran’s indifference; the latter was smart enough to know that pretending to be a stranger at this moment was the greatest help to both of them.
“Nothing much, just heard you have a lot of supplies. Wonder if you could spare some for us? You wouldn’t want to watch these pretty ladies starve to death, would you!” The threat was implicit.
A mocking smile played on Xu An’s lips. What was this? Courtesy before force?
Morally blackmailed before robbing someone?
“What do their lives have to do with me?”
Liu Hu said angrily, “You better not refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit…”
Xu An quickly interrupted his tirade, “Also, who told you I have a lot of supplies?”
Liu Hu was stunned. He glanced at Ji Rourou, his meaning obvious.
Xu An looked at Ji Rourou, and after a long moment, clapped her hands together.
“I remember now. I was wondering why this girl looked so familiar. I’ve seen her before.”
Ji Rourou sensed Xu An’s ill intentions and instinctively wanted to stop her from saying more.
But Xu An gave her no such chance. Seeing Ji Rourou about to repeat her past tricks, Xu An had no patience to watch her act this time. She directly exposed Ji Rourou’s past actions in front of everyone.
“She incited her boyfriend to smash the lock on my door, attracting countless zombies and letting their companions block the door for them. In the end, they were bitten to death by zombies. You actually dare to team up with such a woman? I don’t know whether to call you brave or foolish.”
“By the way, where is her boyfriend? The one who’s not tall and wears glasses.”
“I personally heard these two plotting at my door how to kill their teammates. It’s truly malicious even to outsiders.”
“You’re spouting nonsense! I didn’t… I didn’t! It was you! You didn’t open the door for us and let us in, that’s why they were bitten to death by zombies! I didn’t kill them!”
“Why should I have opened the door for you? You brought so many zombies to my house. Who knows if you weren’t trying to kill me.” Xu An retorted directly, not indulging her.
“You…” Ji Rourou was speechless.
Liu Hu’s gaze shifted between the two, casting a suspicious look at Ji Rourou’s innocent face.
Betrayal was what he hated most in his life. He didn’t think Ji Rourou could kill him.
Perhaps it was the obedience of Su Youyou and her group that gave Liu Hu a sense of misplaced confidence. He felt he could control Ji Rourou.
Unfortunately, the last man who thought he could control Ji Rourou was now a corpse.
Ji Rourou immediately realized that this woman was deliberately targeting her. If she lacked brains, she wouldn’t have survived this long. Seeing the awkward situation, she quickly shifted the focus.
“Brother Liu Hu, never mind that, this sister’s home must have a lot of food.” She then pretended to be pitiful, lowered her head, and sobbed softly, looking at Xu An.
She continued, “Even if you hate me, sister, there are so many people here. The country is in trouble now, and all compatriots are one. You can’t bear to watch them die without helping, can you?”
Xu An internally complained, calling her ‘sister’ again!
She sarcastically remarked, “When you fed people to the zombies, you didn’t seem to feel any pity for them being compatriots.”
As expected, the 'great love' of a saintly婊 was always gained by sacrificing others’ interests.
“I don’t know where you heard this rumor, and I don’t have any supplies at home. Believe it or not.” After saying that, Xu An turned to leave.
As Xu An turned to leave, Ji Rourou panicked. She had traded the news of Xu An having supplies for her current position. If she gained nothing, she couldn’t imagine how Liu Hu would treat her.
Ji Rourou reached out and grabbed Xu An’s back. She missed the hem of her clothes but grabbed the oilcloth wrapped around a “wooden stick” behind her. She yanked the oilcloth open.
A gleaming hunting rifle was revealed.
“You… were you the one who shot just now?” Ji Rourou stammered in fear.
In the face of all firearms, the fragile human body was vulnerable.
Liu Hu’s eyes lit up as he saw the hunting rifle. He wanted to snatch it but also realized that the woman in front of him was not to be trifled with.
He finally understood why she dared to turn and leave with such confidence.
She didn’t dare to act tough anymore and hid behind Liu Hu.
“Beautiful lady, let’s make a deal. If you have a grudge against this shrew, we’ll hand her over to you for disposal. Can you give us some supplies in return?”
“What if I say no?” Xu An felt like laughing. Were these people selling vegetables here?
Besides, why would she buy Ji Rourou?
“Although you have a gun, if I’m not mistaken, yours is a single-shot shotgun, right? There are seven of us here. Even with a gun, are you sure you can take on seven of us alone?”
Xu An really wanted to say, it’s not necessarily one against seven.
But she held back!
Xu An’s gaze swept to the side of Lin Zhuoran, where a girl with a completely expressionless and somewhat numb face was standing.
She mused, it seemed this team wasn't very united.
After speaking, Xu An quickly gave Lin Zhuoran, who had been observing the situation, a look. The next second, the hunting rifle appeared in her hand.
She fired a shot at Liu Hu, who was leading the group.
Everything happened too suddenly. Liu Hu’s face still held surprise when Xu An pulled his body over to block a cleaver strike coming towards her.
The sharp cleaver plunged directly into the back of Liu Hu’s head. Yellow brain matter mixed with red blood flowed down. He died with unfulfilled resentment.
The man who wielded the cleaver was stunned. He let go and looked at what had happened in disbelief.
Another man glared fiercely at Xu An.
“You will pay for my brother’s life!”
“You killed him! You should be the ones to die!”
Xu An had been dealing with this group of trash for a long time, waiting for the moment they let their guard down.
A smile that couldn't be fathomed played on her lips.
Before she could reload, she dropped the hunting rifle, flipped her hands, and a dagger appeared at her fingertips. After a few exchanges with the man, she slit his throat with one swift stroke.
The man glared at Xu An with venomous eyes before he died.
The man who had swung the cleaver now reacted, picking up the cleaver from the ground and charging towards Xu An.
Ji Rourou saw the hunting rifle on the ground and was about to pick it up when she was scared away by Goudan, who had been guarding the side.
Goudan bared its teeth, growling incessantly, saliva dripping from its fangs, looking ferocious.
Ji Rourou had been afraid of dogs since childhood. It was a perfect chance to strike, and she dared not make any rash moves.
Xu An was too busy to pay attention to anything else. While everyone was distracted, she reached into her pocket, using the cover to take out another dagger from her space, and shouted to Lin Zhuoran, “Catch!”
Lin Zhuoran’s nerves were taut, waiting for this moment. She finally fought back, bending down, butting away Su Youyou’s arm that was restraining her. With a leap, she reached out and caught the dagger.
Almost without giving the other person time to react, she squatted down and stabbed the dagger into Su Youyou’s thigh.
“This stab is for betraying me!”
“This stab is for you causing Qianqian’s death!”
“This stab is for your ingratitude!”
With three consecutive stabs, Su Youyou lost consciousness from the pain. But this time, no one came to save her.
At this moment, Xu An had also dealt with the last man. She picked up the hunting rifle from the ground and looked at Ji Rourou’s terrified eyes with mockery.
She really didn’t want to hear another word from this woman! She aimed the rifle at Ji Rourou’s head and fired, ending her life cleanly and efficiently.
