An Nuan put all the hairdressing supplies into her spatial dimension.
Everything in the house, except for the garbage, was taken.
Lan Mi was not an ability user, or at least, her abilities hadn't awakened yet. An Nuan couldn't climb water pipes with her.
They decided to go to the fifth floor via the emergency stairwell.
Not long after leaving, they faintly heard a little girl crying.
"Do you have any food? My child hasn't eaten for days. Can you be kind and give us something to eat?"
The door opened a crack, and a woman extended her hand to An Nuan.
Lan Mi immediately pulled the two of them back.
"Don't go near! They are the murderers who killed the old couple's family across the way!"
"Damn it, I said there were people across the way, and you didn't believe me! Grab them, the three of you!"
The main door was suddenly kicked open, and several burly men trampled over the woman.
Luo Luo was startled by the woman's deformed leg.
Her flesh had been gouged out!
"What did you do?"
Two more men followed behind the two burly men.
They looked ferocious, their eyes glowing red as they stared at the three of them.
"What did we do? We just ate 'two-legged sheep'!"
A boy about seven or eight years old walked out from behind them, looking at An Nuan with excitement.
He was excited like a beast seeing food!
Most of them were bare-chested, with strange tattoos that looked like some kind of symbol.
An Nuan felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn't recall it for a moment.
What was certain was that they had no black spots on them!
"You've all been eating people, haven't you? Who is that woman?"
"She's my cousin! Big sister, doesn't history say that during the Five Barbarians Uprising, people ate 'two-legged sheep'? Since our ancestors could eat them, why can't we? Isn't it natural for my cousin, as a woman, to nourish the men in the family with her flesh and blood?"
"No matter how many twisted justifications you have, they cannot cover up your evil deeds. Cannibalism is a grave taboo at any time!"
The little boy shook his head, his palms slowly rising into the air, and bat-like wings appeared behind him.
The other burly men actually knelt before him.
They worshipped the high school student as if he were a deity.
Luo Luo whispered, "Xiao Nuan, this..."
"Shh."
Luo Luo retreated to protect Lan Mi.
The men chuckled.
"Just as the three 'two-legged sheep' at home are all eaten, and this one is almost gone, these two are so fair and tender. They must taste great."
"Since they look so good, let's not waste them. Let's have some fun first."
"God said man is the master of this world, and women are meant to nourish men to survive. Sisters, you should obey the divine word."
An Nuan smiled and pointed a finger at the boy.
"Did that god also tell you that a first-tier little trash shouldn't be so arrogant!"
As soon as she spoke, a vast blue starry sky covered half the corridor, and countless thorns from the spatial dimension pierced the boy's body, suspending him in mid-air.
The burly men didn't fare any better.
Their legs and arms were completely devoured, leaving only their heads and torsos.
Spatial coverage, localized devouring.
This was a new skill that appeared after she advanced to the third tier.
The burly men finally realized they had provoked someone they shouldn't have.
They fell to the ground, begging for mercy.
"Great god, we were wrong! We will worship you from now on and make you our new god?"
"Yes, we believe in you, spare us, please!"
An Nuan drew her boning knife, flicked the severed limbs into the air, and spun the blade a few times. Like a meat grinder, she minced the limbs into countless small pieces.
"I'm not interested in trash."
An Nuan's knife stroke pierced through the crown of one of the men's heads.
The boy finally panicked.
His eyes glowed fiercely at An Nuan, but it was useless after several attempts.
"Impossible, how can this be! Why can't I replicate you? Impossible!"
An Nuan sneered.
"You're just a first-tier little trash. No matter how good your replication ability is, you can't beat a third-tier like me."
"Sister, let's talk nicely. I'm in so much pain. Can you retract these things? You can't abuse a child."
"No."
An Nuan swung her boning knife, decapitating the other burly men.
Cannibalism is unforgivable, and hunting humans for food is even more unforgivable.
An Nuan sent the starry thorns into his body, avoiding all vital points, and riddled the youth like a beehive.
He screamed wildly, then his mouth was covered by vines.
A flash of light later, his eyes were also blinded.
Juǎnzi arrogantly lifted its head: To play with glowing eyes in front of me, you're not worthy!
The laser's brightness could be more dazzling than any light source.
It could burn out retinas in minutes.
Luo Luo exclaimed.
"Such a weak person, yet he dares to create a cult. And these people followed him and caused chaos. Their brains must be overflowing with water."
Luo Luo looked at the woman by the door. Her wound was infected.
Her bones were also injured. Unless Hai Changfeng was here, with current medical technology, she couldn't be saved.
The woman extended her hand to Luo Luo: "Save me, I was threatened, save me..."
"I know you, it was you who brought that child to knock on doors and deceive people!"
"Shut up!"
The woman shrieked ferociously, scratching frantically at the floor with her hands, trying to grab Luo Luo's feet.
Too bad. Two small vines emerged from the floor, hooking her legs, rendering her attempts to crawl useless.
An Nuan walked over and handed the boning knife to Lan Mi.
"Even in the apocalypse, there are principles and bottom lines. You can't show mercy to those who are not human. This is your pledge of allegiance. Kill her."
Lan Mi tremblingly took the boning knife.
Luo Luo patted her shoulder: "My personal experience tells me that being merciful to the wicked is being cruel to yourself. It will get everyone killed."
"I know, I saw her kill the little grandson across the way with my own eyes."
Lan Mi raised the knife: "Killing you will also be a release for you..."
The woman's frenzied screams were all isolated by the starry spatial dimension.
By the time An Nuan retracted her space, the woman was dead.
This slaughter went unnoticed by anyone, ending quietly within the dimension.
Lan Mi was still very weak, her psychological defenses not yet built, but An Nuan believed she would get better with time.
She took everyone onto a boat to go home. As they neared their doorstep, Zi Xing rode a bicycle and sped over to block her path.
"I thought he was lying to me, but I didn't expect you to actually go out! That good-for-nothing actually let you go out to find supplies and hid inside himself. It's too much!"
The "good-for-nothing" Zi Xing was referring to was Hai Changfeng.
An Nuan didn't like others insulting her companions, and her face grew cold.
"Whether my companion is useful or not is not for you to judge. Please move your bicycle, or I'll run into it."
"Are you angry? It's not worth it for a stinking man! Look at this good thing!"
Zi Xing opened a box and some tinfoil. The aroma of roast chicken wafted out, directly assaulting Lan Mi's nose.
