Tang Li’s heart tensed.
She quickly looked through the peephole again. The man was still standing at the doorway of the hallway, seemingly having noticed nothing unusual.
But Tang Li trusted her instincts.
That chilling sensation on her spine had saved her many times in the apocalypse.
“Miss, since you’re not interested, please return the knife to me quickly! I still need to find the next house to trade supplies with!” the man outside urged.
Tang Li felt her muscles, no longer as sore after lunch and a short rest, and her strength had recovered somewhat.
She sighed and said, “Alright, you can come over. I’ll give you the items directly.”
Since there might be danger, it was useless no matter how far away the man was.
It was better to have him closer, which would be more beneficial for her own actions.
“Okay!”
Upon hearing this, the man approached without a word.
Tang Li opened the door. Just as she handed the item to the man, a powerful pull came from behind the door.
Three shirtless, burly men, their bodies covered in fat and fierce tattoos, emerged from behind the door.
Tang Li quickly retreated a few steps, watching them warily.
All three burly men wore wet flip-flops and swaggered into Tang Li’s home with sinister smiles.
However, they didn't make much noise.
Only after the man who had been outside came in and closed the door did they start laughing wildly.
“Big brother, we’re so lucky today! We came to this building and the first household we found, we successfully tricked them into opening the door!”
“I’ve only seen such a beautiful girl on TV, never in person. To throw her into the flood to feed the fish, wouldn’t that be a waste of resources? Why not keep her?”
The burly man in the lead, seeing Tang Li’s delicate features, fair skin, dressed only in a sports bra and three-quarter pants, her perfect figure fully displayed, couldn't take his eyes off her.
He whistled and teased, “Little girl, because you’re so beautiful, I might not kill you. As long as you take your supplies and come with us, how about it?”
Tang Li had remained silent since they entered.
She carefully observed the four men, recognizing none of them, nor having seen them in her previous life.
Looking at their wet flip-flops and hearing their words…
Tang Li realized they weren't from this building but from another one.
Tang Li also knew that these men had robbed before and had blood on their hands.
Now, with the floods isolating everywhere and the power outage, even if crimes occurred, it was difficult to catch them in time.
As time passed, all sorts of rogues and villains emerged.
In her previous life, Tang Li lived with Tang Guo and had only heard about such things, never encountered them.
She hadn't expected to meet them so soon in this life.
Seeing Tang Li’s silence, the other two burly men had already begun searching Tang Li’s home on their own, while the man from outside stood guard at the door.
“Hey, why aren’t you talking? Scared silly?”
The burly man in the lead walked directly towards Tang Li.
“Yo, big brother, look! There’s electricity here! And two electric fans! And lots of ice!”
At this moment, a burly man searching in Tang Li’s bedroom exclaimed.
“Ice? The power has been out for so long, and the temperature is so high. Whose ice could last this long?”
The burly man in the lead felt something was amiss.
As he turned his head, he saw a cold glint flash before his eyes!
Then, he saw a headless corpse, blood gushing from its neck!
“Is this… my body?”
Immediately, he lost consciousness.
“Big brother!”
The other two burly men, hearing the thud of a heavy object, turned and saw the scene of their leader’s decapitation, their eyes bursting with rage, and they cried out in shock.
They were brothers, born of the same mother, and had grown up together.
They never expected their strongest brother to be unexpectedly defeated by a woman today!
Tang Li looked at the feather-edged saber in her hand, unstained by blood, and praised, “This is truly a good knife!”
The man at the door, seeing the knife in Tang Li’s hand, incredulously questioned, “You actually took the knife from the box?”
Tang Li extended her delicate fingers, caressing the smooth blade, and smiled.
“Speaking of which, I have to thank you for giving me such a good knife.”
“To thank you all, I’ll use you to test my new knife!”
Her smile was beautiful, but the remaining three felt a surge of fear in their hearts.
“You bitch! You’re not playing fair! You ambushed my big brother?”
“I’ll definitely today… Ahhh!!!”
