Chapter 23 p2
Feng Yexing had already made up her mind, so she didn’t care what others thought. She picked up her backpack and was about to leave first.
Seeing this, Yan Cheng quickly followed behind.
Fang Lan secretly hated them. She caught a glimpse of the head of a nail gun sticking out of the zipper of Yan Cheng’s backpack, which he hadn’t zipped up in his haste. She suddenly pounced over. “Brother Yan, I… I like you!”
Yan Cheng was shocked and subconsciously dodged.
This happened to send the opening to Fang Lan. Fang Lan immediately reached out and snatched it. Then, without waiting for Feng Yexing and Yan Cheng to react, she pointed the nail gun at them. “Stop!”
“Fang Lan, what are you doing?!” Feng Yexing was stunned. She had never expected her to suddenly point a gun at her.
Yan Cheng’s face also changed drastically. He checked his backpack for the first time and found that he hadn’t zipped it up, which had led to someone taking advantage of the opening!
Fang Lan was also a little nervous, but she was more proud and excited. This thing had always been watched closely by them, and no one else was qualified to touch it. Among so many people, only Yan Cheng had the ability to use it. As long as the nails were sharpened, its lethality was still very strong.
Although due to its limitations, its range was only twenty meters.
But it was completely enough.
Her eyes were still red, and her tone also revealed a hint of grievance. “Brother Yan, Yexing, I didn’t want to do this either. But you just said you were leaving. I have to leave myself a way out, right? You are so capable, so it’s only right that you leave the nail gun and the supplies here for us, right?”
Brother Liu and the other two’s eyes lit up, and they also immediately moved closer to Fang Lan. “That’s right. Since you are so powerful, you should leave these weapons for us!”
Feng Yexing & Yan Cheng: …
The two of them looked at each other. Feng Yexing wished she could smash Yan Cheng’s head with a hammer. He looked like a smart and capable cool guy, but he had actually lost a weapon like a nail gun.
Even though her heart ached, Feng Yexing still didn’t dare to bet on whether Fang Lan could do it.
She said decisively, “Okay, I’ll put it all here.”
She immediately let go of the two bags tied to her hand and then opened her backpack to take out the supplies inside. While doing this, she was always paying attention to Fang Lan’s movements. Seeing that her expression had relaxed, and she seemed quite satisfied, her movements became even more nimble.
Yan Cheng was the same. With his head being pointed at, he couldn’t be careless.
Fang Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said again, “Brother Yan, can you give me the nails for that nail gun too?”
Yan Cheng’s eyelids twitched, and he was unwilling.
Fang Lan gave Brother Liu a look, and Brother Liu immediately went over to search. Since it had come to this, Yan Cheng could only let him. Soon, Brother Liu found a cloth bag, which was full of the nails Yan Cheng had sharpened during this period.
With these, it was enough for them to use for a long time, to deal with… many people.
Just as Fang Lan was imagining the future, an untimely sound of footsteps interrupted the stalemate here.
The six of them subconsciously looked over.
And they saw Ji Yang and that dog just coming over.
The human and the dog seemed not to have noticed the tense atmosphere here and went straight downstairs. The place where Fang Lan and the others were confronting each other was on the fifth floor, and the location was also right near the stairwell, so they ran into each other directly.
—
Their eyes met. Ji Yang’s expression was still indifferent, while the expressions of the few people opposite her had more or less changed.
Feng Yexing’s heart jumped, and she immediately shouted, “Run!!!”
If she ran away at this time, she could still be saved.
If she was targeted, thinking of how Fang Lan had had some ideas about this girl before, Feng Yexing was extremely anxious.
Ji Yang glanced at her and quickened her pace in cooperation.
But this sound seemed to have reminded Fang Lan. Fang Lan immediately turned her gun and pointed it at Ji Yang, saying sternly, “Stop! If you want to leave, you can, but leave the bag and this dog behind!”
Ji Yang’s footsteps paused. Xixi was so angry that it almost rushed up, but she held it back.
Feng Yexing looked up with a hopeless expression, unable to watch this scene.
Yan Cheng also sighed. “Sorry.”
It was all his fault for implicating this girl.
Seeing that the person had stopped, Fang Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost let a fat sheep run away. For the past two days, she had been smelling the fragrance coming from upstairs every day. If it weren’t for her concern for Feng Yexing and Yan Cheng, she would have taken people up to rob her long ago.
“Old Liu, go and get the things,” Fang Lan ordered. She was on guard against these three people, her eyes uncontrollably lingering on Ji Yang’s large hiking backpack, wondering how many good things were inside.
Old Liu frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this address, but thinking of so many supplies, he still trotted over. The other two men, seeing this, also quickly went up. “We’ll go too. This dog looks very fat. It’s not safe. We should kill it while its owner is here!”
“Right, right, let’s have dog meat hot pot when we go back!”
As they spoke, they were about to approach the human and the dog.
Suddenly, Ji Yang, who had been standing still, took out something.
Before the people present could see clearly, Fang Lan felt something rushing straight at her.
She instinctively wanted to dodge.
But the thing was too fast and instantly entered her body. With a “pfft” sound, a thought suddenly popped into Fang Lan’s mind at this time. So this is what it feels like to be shot?
She didn’t even feel any pain.
But blood quickly gushed out, and her body temperature rapidly dropped. By the time she realized the sharp pain, she could no longer move.
The remaining five people were also stunned. They had never expected Ji Yang to have a weapon too.
That’s right. A girl with a big fat dog, without a weapon, wouldn’t that be a mobile dinner?!
But what they hadn’t expected even more was that this person would attack directly without a word!
Fang Lan fell to the ground, and the nail gun in her hand fell. Yan Cheng quickly reacted and snatched it over. Just as he was about to tell the remaining three to be honest, he heard a clear and cold voice say, “Xixi, go!”
“Woof!” One command, one response.
The big dog, which had been sitting obediently at its owner’s feet just now, rushed straight at Old Liu’s face without a second word.
“Ah!”
Old Liu’s tragic scream echoed throughout the fifth floor.
The other two subconsciously wanted to run. Ji Yang stepped forward, kicked one of them in the chin, and directly kicked the other person to the ground, rolling. He couldn’t even scream. His jawbone was directly shattered!
The third person took this opportunity to rush into the stairwell. But at this moment, Old Liu had already been bitten in the neck by the vicious dog. With a “crack,” the sound of pain disappeared. It immediately shook off the flesh and blood in its mouth and rushed at the fleeing person.
Just as he reached the fourth floor, there was the sound of a heavy object rolling down, followed by a man’s tragic scream.
In a short time, the tragic scream disappeared again.
The big dog came back, its mouth, paws, and face were all covered in blood. It wagged its tail happily and pounced on its owner.
Ji Yang silently took a step back, refusing Xixi’s loving hug.
Xixi’s tail drooped unhappily, and it looked at her with a resentful expression.
Beside them, Feng Yexing and Yan Cheng watched this scene, dumbfounded, and almost knelt down.
Help, in these times, are both humans and dogs so strong?!
Are they in the same time and space? Could it be that when the apocalypse came, some people had mutated and evolved into Super Saiyans without them knowing?!
Of course, when they came to their senses and looked at the bloody scene on the ground, they still felt a chill down their spines and were afraid.
The two of them looked at Ji Yang timidly, not daring to make a sound, for fear that she would remember that they were still alive.
—
Of course, Ji Yang hadn’t forgotten, but she wasn’t really bloodthirsty. It was all for self-preservation. If they hadn’t offended her, she wouldn’t have attacked. In the future, the natural disaster had already killed enough humans.
However, to be cautious, Ji Yang still went over to confirm that Fang Lan was indeed dead.
Then, she retrieved her arrow.
She took Xixi downstairs.
The skateboard was buried, but it didn’t matter. She still had ice skates!
She would just pretend she had found them in the building. Anyway, no one would be able to guess.
Ji Yang put on her ice skates and first tried to skate. The extreme cold had frozen the ice solid. Although it wasn’t that regular because it was formed from falling rain, the hardness was sufficient, and her skills were okay, so she wouldn’t fall.
While she was trying, Xixi was also trying to run on the ice.
But its dog paws had fur, and it slipped again and again. In the end, when Ji Yang was proficient, it was still wronged and stayed in place, falling twice in three steps. Ji Yang couldn’t stand it anymore and simply picked up the dog. With a “swoosh,” she slid far away.
Hurrying, in twenty minutes, she returned to Building 9.
As soon as she reached the bottom of Building 9, Ji Yang felt many gazes on her.
Perhaps they were surprised that she hadn’t died outside.
But this time, no one appeared in front of her. At least because she had gone on a killing spree in the building, whether they had bad intentions or not, they were all afraid of her.
This was good, at least it was quiet.
After this freezing rain, the first floor was completely buried. The height of the ice and snow layer happened to reach the corridor window of the second floor. So, she didn’t have to drill a snow hole anymore and could just climb in through the window.
She hadn’t been back for three days. When Ji Yang went upstairs, she found that there were still some changes in the building. Some of the already empty houses were now occupied again.
This made her a little surprised.
All the way up to the fifteenth floor, she was even more surprised to find that there were actually some supplies at her door?
A closer look revealed that most of it was rice and brown rice, and there was also a bag of instant noodles and a ham sausage, which were scarce goods now.
“You’re back!” The door across from her opened, and Li Yi appeared at the door with a bright smile.
Ji Yang nodded and took off her goggles and scarf to catch her breath.
Li Yi didn’t mind her cold face and said with a smile, “These are the supplies those people offered.”
Ji Yang: “What? Offered?”
She began to doubt this world.
How could she not understand this word?
She was still alive!
Li Yi explained, “That Extreme Cold Survival Alliance, the president, vice president, and some important figures were all gone because of this. So, the alliance disbanded. Originally, the survivors of Building 9, together with Buildings 10, 11, and 12, were considered a group. Now that no one is gathering them, the other three buildings are being bullied by other organizations in our community. So, a group of people, probably because they heard that your combat power is strong and people from other buildings don’t dare to come and cause trouble, they moved over. Before you left, people were already moving in one after another. Today, the rain stopped, and another batch moved in. They thought that this building was under your protection, so they sent these as tributes, asking for your permission to live here.”
Li Yi laughed as she spoke, and her tone was also very relaxed. “And I told them that they can live here as they please, as long as they don’t disturb you. They didn’t believe me and insisted on putting it here. The most crucial thing is that not only did no one dare to take it, but the things are getting more and more.”
As soon as her voice fell, there was a noise from the stairwell.
The two of them looked over and saw a few people coming over hesitantly, a little afraid but also mustering their courage. They were all holding two or three jin of rice or potatoes.
Seeing Ji Yang, they seemed a little hesitant and incredulous, and then they looked at each other.
The legendary big shot who had killed hundreds of people was so beautiful and quiet?!
She didn’t look like a killer at all.
Li Yi kindly reminded them, “It’s her.”
The few of them’s eyes lit up, and they immediately took two steps forward and placed the things at Ji Yang’s feet. The last tall and sturdy man, as a representative, said, “That, we just moved in. We will definitely not disturb you. This is the protection fee.”
Ji Yang: “…”
