The two men did not dare speak loudly when facing the thugs, but when facing the police, they found their courage. They even aggressively tried to force Su Yun to serve them.

They could not afford to provoke bad people, but they could provoke good people.

Because good people would not shoot them.

Su Yun's expression instantly turned cold.

After enduring the apocalypse for so long, her personality had long since changed.

Especially after she had chosen to sacrifice herself to save Zhou Wan'er and the others, only to be saved by Shen Yi, her mindset had changed even more.

She had already given enough!

Since the first day of the apocalypse, she had been rescuing civilians in distress. Over the past few days, she had saved no fewer than a hundred people.

But what about herself?

Every day, she went hungry and had no water to drink. Several times, she had nearly been eaten by monsters!

The more Su Yun thought about it, the worse she felt.

She no longer wanted to care about any bullshit responsibility!

Nor did she want to sacrifice herself just because of the word responsibility.

She had sacrificed enough already!

She had family now too. She did not want to die!!

Su Yun had grown up in an orphanage. She had no parents or relatives and had always been alone.

She had never had any sense of security or anyone to rely on.

That was also why she had been unwilling to find a boyfriend.

She was afraid that after finally finding one, they would still end up separating for one reason or another.

She could not bear the pain of parting.

Rather than separate, it was better not to be together from the beginning.

If not for the apocalypse, it would have been nearly impossible for Shen Yi to pursue a woman like Su Yun, much less win her over within an hour or two of meeting her.

Su Yun appeared cold on the surface, but she was warm-hearted underneath. Once she acknowledged someone, she would treat them as family—family she would never hurt, no matter what.

Otherwise, with Su Yun's sense of responsibility, how could she have had no reaction after learning Shen Yi had killed someone?

If it had been the old her, she would have arrested Shen Yi without hesitation!

But she clearly had not done that. She had not even asked Shen Yi why he had killed them.

Only after the two men said that those killed on the first floor had all been unforgivable thugs did she finally relax. She even wanted to fiercely kiss Shen Yi!

Because Shen Yi had not indiscriminately killed innocents. Even if she had gone against the justice she had always upheld in her heart, she had done nothing wrong!

Her man was not evil!

Even if his methods were ruthless, the people he killed deserved to die!

With all that in mind, after hearing the two men's moral blackmail, Su Yun directly raised her gun, aimed it at their heads, and coldly snapped, "Shut up!"

"You're right. He and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. He's my man, and I'm protecting him. So what!?"

"Taxpayers' money? I earned my money with my own abilities. What does that have to do with you?"

"If you dare say another word, don't blame me if I shoot!"

Su Yun was not some innocent little flower.

With her aura fully unleashed, she scared the two men until they trembled all over.

Only when guns were pointed at their heads did they understand that this female police officer was no longer the diligent little cop from before the apocalypse.

If they dared talk back again, she might really shoot!

Although they felt resentful and furious, the two men no longer dared to morally blackmail her.

"I-I understand! We'll leave now!"

As the bespectacled man spoke, he hurriedly dragged the man beside him away.

Su Yun snorted coldly and did not pursue the matter.

Of course, she had only been scaring those two men.

Though she was upset, her basic moral values still kept Su Yun from casually killing people, especially ordinary people who could not really be considered bad.

Su Yun was still too innocent.

In Shen Yi's eyes, the aura around those two men had clearly darkened several shades.

Though they fled in fear, the seed of resentment had already been planted in their hearts.

The road to death.

When did they get together?

Zhou Wan'er secretly observed Su Yun and Shen Yi.

Hadn't they only known each other for a few hours? How had they become boyfriend and girlfriend already?

And besides,

wasn't Shen Yi here looking for her?

How had he gotten together with the female police officer??

For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable!

As if she had been cheated on.

At that moment,

Shen Yi knocked on the door as well.

Xu Wanting opened it.

"Husband, you're back!"

Husband?

Upon hearing that form of address, Su Yun froze, and her expression immediately became awkward.

She had just confidently declared that Shen Yi was her man, only for a beautiful woman to call Shen Yi her husband moments later.

This was far too awkward.

Although she had long known Shen Yi had other women and had prepared herself to meet them, it was still awkward when it actually happened.

She did not even know who had cheated on whom...

Xu Wanting did not care what the three women outside were thinking. She placed slippers by Shen Yi's feet, intending to help him change his shoes.

Gentle, graceful, and every bit the virtuous wife and loving mother.

She knew jealousy was useless, so she tried her best to show how virtuous she was instead of arguing with the newly arrived women. That would only lower her standing.

What Xu Wanting did was indeed effective.

Her magnanimity made Su Yun feel even more embarrassed.

For a moment, she only felt like a rat in a gutter...

She was clearly the other woman, yet she had followed Shen Yi right to his door.

Before coming here, she had kept thinking that when she met Shen Yi's women, she absolutely could not appear weak.

If they cursed her or refused to let her be with Shen Yi, she absolutely could not lose momentum. At the critical moment, she would even have to strike back!

Su Yun had thought of so much and imagined countless plans, but she never expected that during their first meeting, Xu Wanting would not make things difficult for her at all. There was not even hostility in her gaze.

She had overthought everything.

Zhou Wan'er also felt embarrassed.

But she had not done anything with Shen Yi after all, so she was not especially awkward.

"You go inside first. I have something to deal with." Shen Yi said this, then turned and teleported downstairs.

He was going to deal with those two bastards.

They dared covet his home and even harbored intense hostility toward him. There was no way he could let them go!

"Come in, little sisters. Don't be too reserved. Treat this place like your own home."

Even after Shen Yi left, Xu Wanting still graciously invited the three women inside.

Her gentle and generous attitude would have surprised even Shen Yi!

In just a few short days, Xu Wanting had transformed from an arrogant young lady who loved fighting over affection into a gentle married woman!

"Thank you..."

Though Su Yun and the other two women felt somewhat awkward, they still changed their shoes and entered the room.

As soon as they entered, they saw two more beautiful women sitting on the sofa, eating fruit and playing on their phones.

These two women—no, these three women—were all perfectly clean. There was not even a speck of dust on their bodies or faces!

Looking at them, who would think they were living through an apocalypse???

In contrast, due to the lack of water, Su Yun and the other two women had not washed their faces or hands for a long time. On top of that, they had been chased by the gecko, run around in a panic, and even fallen down. They were filthy from head to toe.

Even their hair had clumped together...

Like three village girls entering the city and seeing young ladies for the first time, they were overcome by an uncontrollable sense of inferiority.

"You three should take a bath first. Husband prefers things clean."

Jiangnan Yan looked them over for a while before speaking.

Upon hearing the word husband, Zhou Wan'er and the long-haired woman were stunned.

This beautiful woman was Shen Yi's woman too!

Then was the mature woman sitting on the sofa also...?

Did that mean every woman in this room belonged to Shen Yi!?

He actually had so many women!!

And he could actually support all three women so well...

To be honest, beyond her shock, Zhou Wan'er realized that what she felt even more was envy.

She envied this life where they did not have to worry about food or water and could keep themselves perfectly clean!

"A bath? How much water would that take?"

Su Yun could not help frowning. This was far too wasteful!

Even if Shen Yi had supernatural abilities, going out to search for supplies was still dangerous.

They should save whenever they could.

"It's fine. There are lots of bottles of mineral water in the bathroom. Just go wash up. If it isn't enough, I'll tell husband to get more." Jiangnan Yan said calmly.

As one of the women who had arrived first, she naturally had to display the bearing of the first wife.

She could not let these later-arriving women rise above her, much less look down on her.

"Use mineral water to bathe??"

Su Yun and the other two women were instantly filled with disbelief!

This was way too wasteful!

No matter how much mineral water they had, it could not withstand such waste!!

Shocked as they were, they eventually followed Xu Wanting's directions and went to wash up in the bathroom.

As women, they naturally loved being clean and wanted to bathe every day.

But water was so precious now that they did not even have enough to drink. Who would be willing to use it for bathing?

Only when the three women entered the bathroom and saw it packed full of mineral water did they freeze.

So much!!

Had Shen Yi emptied out all the mineral water from some huge supermarket??

No wonder those women had told them to use mineral water to bathe. With this much mineral water, they did not have to worry about running out anytime soon!

"This mineral water... we can drink it too, right?" the long-haired woman asked carefully.

But Zhou Wan'er had already opened a bottle and begun gulping it down.
