Chapter 17 Silencing the Witnesses

Moments later, Tang Li looked at the ground littered with dismembered limbs and shaking her head in exasperation.

These people, though their hands were stained with blood, had not yet adapted to the apocalypse.

At a critical moment of survival, they still had the mood to show off, to spout all sorts of useless nonsense.

The most crucial point was that Bai Chang was all blubber, useful only for scaring people. He couldn't even hold the weapon in his hand, and she dealt with him in a few slashes.

It was only because it was the beginning of the apocalypse, and most people hadn't adapted yet, that they could act so arrogantly everywhere.

The man by the door had long since been scared into paralysis, unwilling to believe what he was seeing.

He felt that the saber in the wooden box was still there, so with trembling hands, he opened the wooden box...

Looking at the intact Goose Feather Saber inside, and then at the identical Goose Feather Saber in Tang Li's hand, the man became even more bewildered.

Seeing this, Tang Li shook the blood off the Goose Feather Saber in her hand and then put it back into her space.

When the man saw this, the saber in his hand immediately fell to the ground in fright.

Looking at Tang Li as if he had seen a ghost, he asked in terror, "Who exactly are you?"

"Shouldn't that be my question to you?"

Tang Li said, walking towards the man.

"You... don't come over!"

The man exclaimed, quickly scrambling to his feet, wanting to open the door and escape.

However, before his hand could touch the doorknob, Tang Li grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.

Amidst the man's cries, Tang Li lifted him up like a chick and threw him onto the headless corpse of the burly leader.

"Tell me, who are you? Where are you from? Are there any other accomplices?"

Tang Li sat on the sofa and asked the man leisurely.

"I told you, can you let me go?" the man asked stubbornly.

"You dare to negotiate with me?"

Tang Li's expression turned stern. She extended her delicate, fair, and tender jade foot and stomped hard on the man's calf...

*Crack—kuAiδugg*

A crisp sound of bone breaking was heard!

"Ah! Stop! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

The man cried out in pain and quickly begged for mercy.

Tang Li then released her foot.

The man quickly confessed everything:

"We are from the building next door, not this building."

"I'm just a seller of knives. When I was delivering the knives, it just happened to be raining heavily, so I was stranded at their home."

"These three are brothers from the same mother, the eldest has even been to prison! And they have an old mother at home..."

From the man's words, Tang Li learned that these people had started robbing houses since yesterday.

After looting supplies, they also killed witnesses and threw their bodies into the flood to be washed away, destroying the evidence.

Today, they thought that if they killed off all the other families in their building, they would surely be suspected afterwards. Coincidentally, their family had an inflatable rubber boat for fishing, so they decided to row to other buildings to rob.

And Tang Li's home was the first one they chose.

"Were you discovered on the way?" Tang Li asked again.

The man quickly replied, "Yes! But everyone we met on the way was silenced!"

Tang Li glanced at the man on the ground. Seeing his sincere expression, she knew he was telling the truth.

Knowing that those people had no other accomplices and no living person knew they had come to her place, Tang Li got up and walked to the man.

She extended her well-defined hand, grasped the man's neck, and said, "You should be silenced too!"

"Miss, you are beautiful and kind-hearted, please spare me!"

The man continued to beg for mercy, his hands still trying to pry open Tang Li's hand gripping his neck.

Tang Li sneered upon hearing this, mocking, "Beautiful and kind-hearted? Is that why you broke into my home to rob me?"

With that, she snapped the man's neck.

The man's pleas for mercy abruptly stopped, and his hands fell limply to his sides.

Tang Li stood up and looked at the dismembered limbs scattered all over the living room...

Shaking her head helplessly, "What a bother, I still have to clean up."

Opening the living room window, she picked up the severed heads, limbs, and four mangled corpses on the ground, along with their weapons, and carried them to the window, throwing them down.

The pouring rain washed away the blood, and the surging flood carried away the bodies.

Tang Li clapped her hands, her deeds hidden from fame.

Then, Tang Li took out a bucket of water, rinsed away the bloodstains on the ground, wiped clean the sofa, coffee table, and other items splashed with blood, and put them back into her space, replicating new ones to replace them.

She then used a mop to clean the floor, and the bloody water from cleaning was also directly poured out of the window.
