Having gained a new ability, Shen Yi was in an excellent mood!
Only now did he truly possess the power to protect himself in this apocalypse!
Instant Movement had a maximum range of twenty meters. No one would be able to catch him!
As long as he reacted quickly enough, he could even dodge bullets!
And besides, Instant Movement could continue to level up!
"Husband, were there a lot of people following us into the residential complex just now?" After washing the fruit, Jiangnan Yan sat beside Shen Yi and peeled an apple for him as she asked worriedly.
"Yeah, they followed us the whole way."
Shen Yi's hearing was far sharper than that of Jiangnan Yan and the other girls, so he had noticed the people following them long ago.
Of course, the people following them did not include Blondie and his classmates, but another group.
Perhaps they could not really be called followers. They had suddenly appeared, and this residential complex might have been their original destination. They had simply run into Shen Yi and the others by chance, then developed malicious intentions.
There was no longer any order left.
Even the school had descended into chaos.
Society outside would only be worse.
"Then could they be hiding downstairs, waiting for us? Waiting until we go down before attacking us?" Jiangnan Yan fed a peeled tangerine segment to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi leaned against the sofa, opened his mouth to eat it, and said, "If they aren't good people, they won't wait downstairs for us. They'll find a way to break in instead."
"Then... then aren't we in great danger now? The building entrance has some defensive capability, but it definitely can't hold back a group of rioters."
Bai Xinyi could not help but worry.
When they had left the school earlier, she had seen students slaughtering each other and had already realized that social order had collapsed.
If a group of rioters truly rushed into the building, everyone would suffer!
She wanted to call the police, but the emergency line would not connect at all.
Xu Wanting's focus was different. Seeing Jiangnan Yan serving Shen Yi, she immediately understood what was going on. She cursed that bitch inwardly, then put down the half-eaten tangerine in her hand and hurried over to massage Shen Yi's shoulders.
With the two women competing, Shen Yi was naturally the one enjoying himself.
That was also why he did not stop this battle between women.
"Husband, it's really just like you said. They're breaking in!" Jiangnan Yan said gravely as she looked at her phone.
The screen displayed the residential complex's group chat.
A resident from the first floor had posted a video.
In the video, a group of men wielding all kinds of weapons were violently attacking the building entrance.
The glass windows had already been smashed, and the door had been battered out of shape.
These people were making such enormous noise, as if they were not afraid of attracting monsters at all!
Jiangnan Yan noticed this and could not help asking, "Could it be that there aren't any mutated animals in our residential complex? Or do these people have a way to deal with mutated animals?"
"Hmph, I think they've simply gone crazy. A bunch of lunatics probably don't know what fear is!" Xu Wanting snorted as she continued massaging Shen Yi's shoulders.
She was not worried about the lunatics breaking in. Shen Yi had a gun, after all. Even if they got inside, could they possibly fight a gun with the clubs and knives in their hands?
"Crazy doesn't mean stupid. They're afraid of death too. Otherwise, they would have killed themselves already. Why would they waste time staying alive..." Jiangnan Yan retorted. Then she frowned slightly, feeling that something was off about this group.
They dared to make so much noise without fearing that mutated monsters would come. They most likely had something to rely on.
"Why hasn't help arrived after so long? There isn't even a single police officer on the streets!" Bai Xinyi was terrified.
She desperately wanted to return to the peaceful era from before.
She simply could not adapt to, nor accept, this apocalyptic world without laws or rules.
Shen Yi looked at Bai Xinyi, the mature woman.
Today, he would try to unlock her reward as well.
With that thought, Shen Yi said, "I'm hungry. Let's eat first. After we finish, I'm going out for a while."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and five bottles of mineral water and three steaming, fragrant roast chickens appeared on the table.
His constitution was strong now, so he would not tire easily, but he needed to replenish his expenditure through large amounts of food.
"You two eat too."
Only after receiving his order did Xu Wanting and Jiangnan Yan dare to eat.
As for Bai Xinyi, she was still in shock.
What had just happened?
Shen Yi had merely raised his hand. How had food and water appeared out of thin air?
Was this magic!?
Why were Jiangnan Yan and Xu Wanting not surprised at all?
Am I the only one who was shocked??
Bai Xinyi was extremely shocked, yet she did not dare ask. She could only sit silently in the distance, pretending to look elsewhere to distract herself.
Her stomach was growling.
Over the past two days, she had only eaten a chicken leg. It was nowhere near enough to fill her up.
Especially now, with the smell of chicken in the air, it felt as though her stomach and intestines were roaring madly, urging her to eat...
But...
Bai Xinyi was too embarrassed to ask for food.
After all, she was not Shen Yi's woman.
She was not even his friend.
"Husband, what are you going out for? Are you going downstairs to deal with those thugs?" Jiangnan Yan asked worriedly after swallowing the meat in her mouth.
"No. Why would I deal with them? They can't threaten me."
Shen Yi's expression remained indifferent.
He was just that cold.
Back when he was bullied, no one had helped him.
So now, he would not help anyone else either.
Of course, there was another, more important reason.
He could use those thugs to create a crisis for the survivors, making his later actions more convenient.
Jiangnan Yan also thought that made sense. They were on the twentieth floor; even if the thugs broke in, the residents downstairs would suffer first.
Besides, even if the thugs reached the twentieth floor, they had guns to deal with them.
"Then what are you going out for, husband? Will it be dangerous?"
Xu Wanting was a little worried that something might happen to Shen Yi.
If Shen Yi died, women like them would be completely powerless. They would most likely end up like the girls at school who had been bullied.
She did not want to become like that!
Rather than be humiliated by so many people, she would rather kill herself outright.
"It has nothing to do with you. Stop talking so much while you eat." Shen Yi continued lowering his head to eat, too lazy to explain.
"Oh."
Xu Wanting felt a little unhappy. It seemed Shen Yi treated Jiangnan Yan better than he treated her.
Then she glanced at Bai Xinyi, who stood by the window pretending not to be hungry, and felt better again.
Hmph! That pretentious bitch deserved to starve!
It would be best if she starved until she could not take it anymore and died!
Xu Wanting wanted nothing more than to vent all her negative emotions on Bai Xinyi.
Once he had eaten and drunk his fill, Shen Yi prepared to leave.
"While I'm not home, remember to lock the door. Don't open it for anyone."
"If that group of thugs breaks into the building, contact me immediately. I'll rush back. They won't be able to break through this security door anytime soon."
Shen Yi instructed them.
As for why he did not leave them a gun, it was mainly because he did not fully trust Jiangnan Yan and Xu Wanting.
If the two women harbored ill intentions toward him, even Shen Yi could not guarantee he would not be caught off guard in the face of a handgun.
