"That's right, your villa area. I plan to move in."
"You're moving in? Then where will I live?"
"We'll live together."
[Who wants to live with you! You stinky man, you shameless scoundrel!]
[If you want dignity and can't get a wife, that's what my silly brother taught me.]
Chen Wenjing was trying hard not to laugh, while the others were just watching the show.
An Nuan felt dizzy and annoyed by Fu Yunting.
The others wanted to barge in and just fight.
But Fu Yunting was a bit tricky.
Firstly, he was extremely capable, and An Nuan couldn't stop him.
Secondly, he definitely had a team behind him, and An Nuan couldn't stop them either.
She felt a sense of dissatisfaction!
Fu Yunting, on the other hand, felt very pleased.
If these men could be by An Nuan's side, why couldn't he?
He was determined to live with her!
Brother Hu burst into laughter, "Sister, you have such a handsome and capable man, what more could you be unhappy about? If I could find a wife this awesome, I'd be smiling in my sleep."
An Nuan couldn't laugh.
Why did Grandma insist on finding her a fiancé, when she already had someone...
An Nuan blinked.
Someone? Why did she seem to remember, yet it was also so vague...
A hazy figure appeared in An Nuan's mind, and she tried hard to see their face clearly.
But the harder she tried, the more her head hurt, and cold sweat trickled down her neck.
Fu Yunting's large hand covered her head and gently massaged it.
"No rush, we have time."
An Nuan shook his hand off, unappreciative, and moved away.
Just before dawn, Fu Yunting sped out of the compound on an electric scooter.
Brother Hu's team also rushed out.
Tao Yechen checked his watch and shouted, "Quick, block the entrance!"
Everyone worked together to seal off the entrance.
As the morning light appeared, the ground rippled for a moment, as if something was emerging from the earth.
Immediately afterward, a scream was heard not far from the entrance.
Chen Wenjing recognized it as one of Baozi's team who had fled.
He cursed them inwardly: Serves them right!
Tao Yechen sighed, "The things guarding the entrance wake up as soon as they see light, and they specifically target people. Fortunately, you got out quickly, or it would have been dangerous inside."
"Those are Sunflowers. They were planted around the compound for aesthetic purposes. Later, they would attack outsiders, but not us. During this period, we could only go out during the day."
"So, they're like guardian flowers then."
Hai Changfeng saw Shi Huai stuck in place and helped him out.
Tao Yechen exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens, even pandas can talk now!"
Brother Hu looked around outside. Apart from Baozi and a few others who were killed, his team and a few familiar faces were gone.
"That's strange, where did they go?"
"Oh, when I went in, they were in the way, so I took care of them. Do you have people in there?"
"No, killed? Twenty or thirty people, you killed them?"
Fu Yunting nodded, and Wu Zhenci and the others nodded as well.
Tao Yechen had come out earlier and had already heard about Fu Yunting from his companions, so he wasn't surprised.
Instead, he felt a lot of emotion.
His team was not bad, but An Nuan's team was even more formidable.
Besides emotions, all that was left was admiration.
The supplies obtained in this operation were twice as much as before.
Although most of the captured creatures were mutants, they could still serve as food.
Their claws and fur were very important resources in the apocalypse.
Claws and teeth could be made into weapons or even used as medicine to save lives. Their fur offered better insulation than goose down. The fur of a single two-headed wolf could be made into clothes for three adults, making it very valuable. kuAiδugg
This batch of supplies was enough for them to last a week.
However, many people died during the operation. Besides Baozi's team being wiped out, only Tao Yechen's and Brother Hu's teams survived intact.
Some were happy, while others were sad.
Hai Changfeng placed three cigarettes at the entrance.
Two men walked over and patted his shoulder.
"Brother, do you have any more cigarettes? Can I have a couple?"
"Of course, no problem. My condolences, brothers."
The men smiled and took deep drags of the cigarettes.
From the initial panic of encountering zombies and mutants, to the grief of losing brothers and friends, to the current numbness.
They no longer knew how to react to such events.
After finishing his cigarette, the man found Tao Yechen and said,
"Boss Tao, my team and Chen Feng's team are so few now. We've discussed it, and we'd like to follow you. See if you mind."
"Sure! I quite like you two! Brother Hu, do you want to join too?"
"I'll pass. There are too many women in your group, it'll affect my drawing speed. I won't join the fun!"
Brother Hu laughed heartily, bowed to Fu Yunting, and called out to his team.
"Brothers, hurry up! Cut and distribute the meat, pack everything up, and let's go find the jewelry stores and banks!"
The brothers began to sharpen their knives and skin the animals, processing the prey.
The remaining few people packed their things and prepared the vehicles.
Brother Hu's team proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Baozi's team still had seven or eight people left.
They had witnessed Fu Yunting's ruthlessness and dared not approach, only huddling together on the side and calling out.
"Tao, Boss Tao, we're all that's left of our team. We were thinking of joining your group, would that be alright? We won't join for free, we'll all serve as vanguards!"
Tao Yechen turned around coldly.
"My team is full, we can't take so many people. You should look elsewhere."
"But..."
Fu Yunting's cold gaze shot over, and they were reminded of last night's terror. They immediately shut up and retreated into the shadows.
An Nuan felt a chill. Looking at the sky, it seemed like another blizzard was coming.
"It looks like it's going to snow again. We're heading back. What are your plans?"
"The small supermarkets around here must be empty too. If we rush back to the city now, we'll have to fight with others for territory. It's better to stay here since we're familiar with it."
Tao Yechen showed An Nuan the prey he had caught.
With the supplies they had obtained, just eating meat would be enough for his team to last more than a week.
And with the extra furs, it would be warmer too.
Nie Shen said, "We'll quickly gather firewood and build a large kang. It'll be fine."
An Nuan nodded to Hai Changfeng, who then brought down two boxes of biscuits and self-heating meals from the vehicle.
"This is all we have. Share it with Brother Hu. We'll be taking our leave now. Until we meet again in the martial world!"
"Holy crap, you guys really are something! No need to say anything else. If fate allows, let's meet again alive!"
After exchanging greetings, everyone went their separate ways.
Fu Yunting said in the car, "You didn't need to give them those things. They'll survive with their capabilities."
"Tao Yechen and Brother Hu are very righteous people, rare good people. I hope they can live a bit longer."
An Nuan wasn't a saint.
But people like them did touch her soft spot.
If An Dong had been a leader like them, she wouldn't have died so miserably...
...
"Hey, gently! To the left, right there! Aim for the gap between the shoulder blades! Fu Yunting, your technique is amazing!"
"Thank you for your praise, boss. Would you like to add another hour?"
