Chapter 116: She Has Even More Supplies

At this moment, Sun Peng was under someone else’s control himself—how could he possibly save her?

He quickly tried to curry favor with Er Kui. “Brother, this is my wife. I’ll give her to you! I was ignorant before, but if you let me go this time, I promise I’ll hand over food to you on time from now on.”

Wang Xiaoyu was furious when she heard this. “Sun Peng, you spineless coward! Let me go! I’m not his wife—he has no right to give me to anyone!”

Er Kui didn’t even bother to look at the two of them. With a wave of his hand, a few of his men stuffed a rag into Wang Xiaoyu’s mouth and dragged her away.

The neighbors upstairs, watching the commotion, all secretly cheered.

Who didn’t know that this pair of scumbags had killed for profit, even tearing apart and devouring the lady of the house?

They totally deserved this ending!

It was just a pity about their supplies—first robbed by Sun Peng, now snatched away by these thugs.

Er Kui checked the loot his men had collected and found that this household had a particularly large stash of weapons.

According to his men, these things were hidden in all sorts of nooks and crannies.

He glanced at Sun Peng with a half-smile. “You’re a sly one, aren’t you?”

Good thing they hadn’t rushed upstairs recklessly—this guy was really devious.

Sun Peng was being pinned down by them, not daring to say a word, keeping his head low and acting meek.

Er Kui led his men to count the supplies, then frowned. “All the food in this whole building, and this is it?”

The dry rations, snake meat, and drinking water were all much less than what they’d found in other buildings.

He looked at Sun Peng, only to see the man’s eyes darting around.

Er Kui sneered, “Trying to play the three-burrows trick with me?”

He punched Sun Peng hard, then raised his gun and pressed it to Sun Peng’s head.

“Speak! Where are the rest of the supplies hidden?”

Sun Peng was cursing his luck inside.

He’d specifically kept a backup stash for situations like this, only bringing out part of the supplies and hiding the rest elsewhere.

It had been over half a year since the disaster struck, and only half the residents in the building had survived. Especially in their unit—thanks to that crazy woman on the 14th floor, a lot of people had been killed, leaving the place almost empty.

So he’d hidden some supplies in the vacant apartments in their unit.

But he hadn’t expected to run into these “professionals” with sharp eyes.

Er Kui’s gang had taken over quite a few buildings already and knew exactly how much supplies a place should have.

It didn’t take them long to realize the numbers didn’t add up.

Now, with a gun pressed to his temple, Sun Peng didn’t dare play any more tricks.

He confessed everything honestly.

Better to save his own skin first! As long as you’re alive, there’s always hope.

The group immediately searched the empty apartments and found even more supplies.

Er Kui put away his gun, looking satisfied at the mountain of goods on the floor. “Now that’s more like it!”

Seeing Er Kui in a good mood, Sun Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Er Kui’s next words sent him straight to hell.

“You’re a smart guy. Normally, I’d keep you around to help me find even more supplies... but I have to answer for the two brothers who died.”

With that, he raised his gun again.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Sun Peng’s pupils shrank in terror.

“Don’t kill me! I know someone who has even more supplies!!”

His desperate shout echoed loudly between the buildings.

The neighbors upstairs, watching the drama unfold, all heard his cry—and immediately thought of the 14th and 15th floors.

Their eyes lit up.

Good! The demon woman and the mechanic are finally in trouble!

A wave of indescribable satisfaction surged in their hearts.

Who told the people on the 14th and 15th floors to shut themselves away, living comfortably while ignoring the suffering of their neighbors?

They obviously had plenty of supplies, but refused to share with anyone.

Now, no one would have it easy! Everyone would be poor together!

Hopefully, the demon woman and those thugs would destroy each other. Then not only could they get their own food back, but they could also take over the supplies from the 14th and 15th floors…

Meanwhile, upstairs, An Nan was calm as ever.

What’s meant to come can’t be avoided.

Even if Sun Peng didn’t rat her out, these thugs would come to collect their “protection grain” in a month anyway, and they’d still come knocking at her door.

Sooner or later, she’d have to face them.

Just as she was thinking this, there was a hurried knock at her door.

“Nannan! It’s me, Chu Peipei!”

An Nan opened the door to see Chu Peipei’s face full of anger. “That Sun Peng! What a scumbag, trying to drag others down with him!”

An Nan was about to say something when someone knocked on the hallway door.

It was Zhao Ping’an.

As soon as she opened the door, he said anxiously, “Idol, you should all come to my place! My traps are more complicated and easier to defend.”

An Nan felt a little warmth in her heart.

It was touching that, at a time like this, he was still thinking of them, even risking danger to come downstairs.

But she shook her head. “No need.”

Zhao Ping’an wanted to say more, but An Nan smiled. “Don’t worry, my place isn’t that easy to break into either.”

She gave him a gentle push. “Go back quickly, or you’ll get blocked in the hallway. Aunt Hu is still at home!”

At the mention of Hu Cuilan, Zhao Ping’an grew even more anxious, asking again to make sure.

Seeing that An Nan was determined not to go upstairs, and with Chu Peipei standing behind her, he had no choice but to go back.

As he left, he kept looking back worriedly. “You two be careful!”

An Nan waved him off, signaling him to hurry home, then closed the hallway door.

There was no way she was going upstairs.

If those thugs took advantage of her absence to break in, they’d find nothing in her apartment, and the secret of her hidden space might be exposed.

It didn’t matter where she was—she could deal with them all the same.

So what if there were more of them?

She’d been looking for a chance to test her marksmanship anyway!

Thank you, Mother Nature, for sending so many live targets.

An Nan told Chu Peipei, “Go back to your room and lock the door.”

But Chu Peipei didn’t move. Instead, she raised her nail gun and boning knife, and said something shocking:

“Nannan, when the fighting starts, you stand behind me!”

She knew An Nan was better at fighting than she was, but this time, she wanted to stand in front of her.

Chu Peipei thought, even Sun Peng with a gun couldn’t beat those people—without guns, it would be even harder for them.

She might not make it out alive today.

But she wouldn’t back down, because there was someone here she had to protect.

Her life had been saved by An Nan… If she could take out one more enemy, An Nan would be that much safer.

Chu Peipei looked at An Nan seriously. “Nannan, you stand behind me. The trap door is the first line of defense, I’m the second.

If I fall, you guard the stairwell—take down anyone who comes, but don’t go downstairs.

If their leader comes up with a gun… use me as a shield.”

There were more than a hundred of them—she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t scared. But she was determined to do everything she could to help An Nan survive."
