Luo Luo held two cats nervously, huddled on the sofa.
An Nuan made her a cup of hot chocolate and then walked to the large window.
The dusk-colored mushroom clouds in the sky were getting bigger, and the rain showed no signs of stopping, instead indicating a tendency to intensify.
In another two days, all spaces below the fifth floor in the city would be submerged, and the city's transportation would completely paralyze.
By the fifth day, areas below the eighth floor would be submerged, and the only way to travel in the city would be by dinghy, even turning it into a way to make money, a quick fortune.
An Nuan, knowing this beforehand, had chosen the highest ground and improved the drainage system.
Her current location was equivalent to the 12th floor of the city.
She would not be submerged due to the heavy rain.
Luo Luo: "Xiao Nuan, do you think the heavy rain will stop?"
"Yes."
Luo Luo breathed a sigh of relief, showing a hint of relief.
An Nuan couldn't bear to crush her spirit.
The heavy rain was a minor issue; the temperature would later drop from fifty to sixty degrees to minus twenty degrees.
A large number of people would freeze to death due to the drastic temperature difference.
An Nuan still remembered the bodies of adults and children in the hallway, frozen into ice sculptures.
So vivid, so cruel…
An Nuan couldn't be bothered to think about such things anymore.
She turned and walked into the kitchen; the refrigerator was already packed.
An Nuan first washed the rice and steamed enough for two meals a day.
Although supplies were sufficient, eating more meant excreting more, and it was easy to gain weight, which would be a hindrance if she had to fight zombies.
She needed to ensure adequate nutrition, as well as physical strength and endurance.
For this reason, regardless of the rain or extreme cold, An Nuan decided to go out and move around every night, when it was quiet and late.
Firstly, to let herself adapt to the welcome.
Secondly, to train her agility and eyesight.
Zombies didn't distinguish between day and night when they wanted to eat flesh; they would pounce and bite.
An Nuan took another potato, some farmed shrimp, curry, and carrots, preparing to make a plate of curry shrimp.
A handful of baby bok choy, stir-fried with a small amount of lard and sliced garlic, was fragrant and soft.
She cracked three eggs into a large bowl, added a little salt, beat them quickly, poured in some cooled boiled water, covered it with a small lid, and placed it in the steamer.
The power system would collapse in eight days, but it was still functional now.
If not now, when!
An Nuan seized the time to vigorously use electricity.
"Miss An! Are you in there?"
In the living room, there were six large screens; the central one was the television.
The remaining five screens were all surveillance of the new house's surroundings.
But now, one of the screens suddenly switched to the image of the old house.
"Xiao Nuan, did you install surveillance at the old house?"
"No, I don't live there anymore, why would I install surveillance?"
Before the power system collapsed, the basic network had not been interrupted, and Luo Luo immediately hugged her laptop and started a digital fight with the intruder.
"Damn it! I was intercepted and bounced back halfway! It must be that guy again!"
Black Smoke? httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Alright, he actually hacked into her surveillance system!
An Nuan was not afraid but rather excited.
Whether Black Smoke was reborn or had precognitive abilities, he definitely wouldn't let himself be infected by zombies.
If he wasn't a zombie and didn't team up with the An Dong family, they could be friends.
Making friends with a powerful fellow survivor would greatly increase the chances of survival in the apocalypse.
An Nuan felt a sliver of excitement.
"Miss An, I know you're in there!"
Luo Luo: "Isn't that your community's property manager? He's always the most polite to me."
"Mm."
An Nuan replied indifferently.
She used to be the big spender, so the property manager was naturally polite.
Now, with so many people rushing to her doorstep, it was clearly with ill intentions.
An Nuan guessed that the property manager had his eyes on the goods she had transported to her home.
Fortunately, she left in the middle of the night, and no one saw.
The new house was also bought under a false identity, so no one could find her here.
"Miss An, I'm the property manager of your community. You've bought a lot of things recently, haven't you? You must have a lot of food and supplies at home. The heavy rain might not stop anytime soon, and everyone is suffering and has nothing to eat. Could you open the door and share some with everyone?"
"I'm a lawyer from next door. My window was broken by tree branches blown by the wind. Can you let us stay for a few days? I'll pay you!"
"Your house is a detached one, the highest location in the community, and you've bought a lot of food and drinks. We won't take them for free!"
"Yes, we'll pay. Let us in! My house is on the flat level in the front, and it's all flooded."
"Miss An, can you respond!"
An Nuan's old villa was indeed in the best geographical location in the community.
It was a five-story villa her parents had bought for a hundred million yuan when they were alive.
It had a large area and a spacious courtyard; their more than ten people could shelter from the rain by crowding in the front yard.
But what good was it, even if it was the best? It was only five stories; it would be submerged in a few days.
The water had already reached the steps, and after tonight, the floor of the first level would be soaked.
Luo Luo felt a pang of pity for them and momentarily softened.
"Xiao Nuan, maybe we should..."
"Don't make a sound, watch quietly."
An Nuan finished making the curry shrimp and brought the food to the coffee table, preparing to eat.
While she was eating, the people crowded at the entrance of the old villa were getting impatient.
The lawyer, who had been polite just moments ago, was the first to ram the door.
An Nuan sneered: "Luo Luo, after entering the apocalypse, besides yourself and me, you can only trust our two cats. People are the least trustworthy!"
Lawyer Qian kicked the door furiously and cursed with a contorted face.
"Bastard, you're just going to watch us die? When I catch you, I'll kill you!"
"Stop wasting words with her. She's alone, let's just charge in, what can she do!"
"Miss An, if you're not going to unite with us, then I can't help it. As the community property manager, I must consider everyone's well-being!"
The burly property manager hit the door with more force than the lawyer.
The others joined in ramming the door, some rushed into the rain to pick up things and throw them at the windows, while others pointed at the house and cursed.
The people who had politely begged for help just moments ago had all changed.
Luo Luo stared in disbelief.
"Xiao Nuan, what's wrong with them?"
"Nothing's wrong, it's just that the selfish and cruel side of human nature has been exposed. Luo Luo, you must remember that besides me and the two cats at home, no one else can be trusted."
Bang!
The security guard broke down the door: "Charge! Catch her, kill this little bitch!"
"Selfish, do you even deserve to be human?"
"You made me stand in the rain for so long, let's see how I'll deal with you!"
They rampaged through the villa like mad dogs, turning the house upside down.
Especially the kitchen and storage rooms; the refrigerator door and cabinets were torn off.
"No food? The refrigerator is empty!"
"The cabinets are empty too!"
"Damn it, not even a single sanitary pad! Li, didn't you say she brought back a lot of goods?"
Lawyer Qian kicked him flying.
"Damn your mother, didn't you say there were supplies here? You dare to lie to me!"
Lawyer Qian walked over with a wooden stick.
Everyone slowly raised the objects in their hands and slowly approached the property manager…
