Su Daqiang silenced the other person's aggressive words with a kiss, his eyes blazing.
In his mind, he was replaying the image of the cold and beautiful woman from the surveillance footage.
While Liu Hong wasn't bad, she was past her prime. How could she compare to a young woman in her early twenties?
Su Daqiang deliberately kept Liu Hong on a leash, holding her in the palm of his hand. He knew exactly how to make a woman submit.
"Good girl, shall we head to the top floor tomorrow?"
Liu Hong had no choice but to agree at this point. With a choked sob, she cursed Su Daqiang as a bastard,
But she eventually relented.
Only then did Su Daqiang allow her to relax.
It wasn't that Liu Hong was particularly strong, but during this special period, people's guard would naturally be high.
If he, a grown man, knocked on their door, they would definitely be suspicious.
But Liu Hong was different. Although impersonating property management was a stretch, it wasn't unheard of for people to fall for it.
After all, women were more likely to lower their guard.
After they finished, the two discussed how to kidnap the two women on the top floor.
And so, Liu Hong impersonated property management and knocked on Xu An's door.
...
The two descended the stairs with grim expressions.
The elevator had lost power long ago. After their trip up and down, they were drenched in sweat.
And there was no water to wash with.
Fortunately, there were thermal suits in the security room, otherwise, they would have surely died of heat on this trip.
Liu Hong felt like her throat was burning from the heat, and coupled with her constant shouting earlier, her voice was hoarse.
"Those two little sluts are too vigilant. Damn it, what a wasted trip."
After cursing, she turned to Su Daqiang, "Brother Qiang, do you think the bitch inside might have sensed something?"
Su Daqiang snorted, annoyed. Even if they hadn't sensed anything initially, after this woman's commotion, they were bound to notice something was wrong. They weren't idiots.
But he couldn't afford to fall out with Liu Hong yet, so he handed her the last half-bottle of water he had, his eyes cold.
"I'll think of a way to see if I can pry their door open."
"I just checked. The security door of the top floor apartment has been modified; it's not easy to open."
"Then what do we do, sister? If that woman is so prepared, it means she has a lot of supplies at home. We can't just let them go like this."
Liu Hong took the water, a mocking smile on her face.
This man was like a toad trying to eat swan meat. He was frustrated because he couldn't have it.
Looking for supplies? Did he believe that himself?
More like looking for women!
Thinking this, jealousy flickered across Liu Hong's face, but she wasn't foolish enough to expose Su Daqiang.
From the moment they first broke into someone's house to rob them, it was clear they were in the same boat.
She wasn't afraid that the woman on the top floor would turn Su Daqiang against her. Young girls were all proud and ready to die.
Forget sleeping, they would probably make a scene if you even touched them.
Su Daqiang, on the other hand, felt like his heart was being scratched by cats. People always craved what they lacked.
He had noticed the woman on the top floor long ago. She was beautiful, but aloof.
He had tried to get closer several times but was rejected.
He only knew that she lived on the top floor and had a boyfriend.
Not only that woman, but her mother was also a stunner.
In the past, he only dared to fantasize while watching surveillance footage, but now, the living, breathing person was right in front of him.
How could he let her go so easily?
He was very unhappy with Xu An's vigilance.
Not only unhappy, but he felt Xu An was ungrateful!
Liu Hong felt the temperature in the hallway rising. Even wearing the thermal suit, she felt stifled.
"Brother Qiang, let's go back first. We'll think of a plan later tonight. It's too hot right now."
Su Daqiang thought it made sense. "Alright, let's go back first. They can't escape anyway."
Before long, the two helped each other, panting, back to the underground security room.
Seeing the empty mineral water bottles scattered on the floor, Su Daqiang's face soured. This trip was a complete loss.
Not only did they fail to catch the women, but they also consumed so much water.
...
Xu An had been listening at the door the whole time. Only after ensuring that the people outside had left did she walk into the living room.
"Nannan... are we being targeted?"
Xu Yan's eyes were filled with anxiety. Communications had been cut, and they were completely isolated from the outside world.
In such a closed-off community, if someone started causing trouble, there would be nowhere to turn for help.
Xu An neither confirmed nor denied, just looked at her mother.
"We might need to move."
Xu Yan understood immediately and didn't delay. She got up and started packing.
If they were leaving, they would have to take all their supplies with them. They could directly put them into Xu An's spatial storage, which would be convenient.
Mother and daughter didn't say any more and busied themselves with packing.
Xu An had thought they could survive until the zombie tide ended. She had fortified their home like a fortress, so dismantling it was quite a project.
It wasn't impossible to stay. As long as they didn't open the door, the other party couldn't do anything to them.
But the constant sense of danger made Xu An understand one thing.
You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Rather than waiting for death, it was better to take the initiative. That was Xu An's way of doing things!
Xu An and her mother agreed to leave at dawn the next day.
After finishing packing, Xu Yan decided to cook, treating it as a farewell dinner in their home.
Xu An was naturally the happiest. She took out two tubs of ice cream from her spatial storage and handed one to her mother.
"Mom, what are you going to make?"
"I'll make pepper chicken, braised eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cold jellyfish, and some liangpi. Is that enough?"
Xu An's face lit up with joy. "It's enough, it's enough. I'll be waiting to eat."
Saying that, she moved the fan to the kitchen. She herself continued to watch TV in the living room.
She had to admit, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was a fantastic show to watch while eating.
Watching it, she could eat three bowls of rice.
Goudan snuggled against her, as if finding a comfortable position, and stopped moving.
One person and one dog were very harmonious, engrossed in the television show.
When Xu Yan went to the refrigerator to get the vegetables, she saw this scene and couldn't help but smile.
If only life could always be this peaceful.
After a long sigh, she took out the vegetables and went back into the kitchen to get busy.
