"Thank you, Brother Xu. I'm really sorry to trouble you like this!" Ning Yanlan lowered her guard considerably.

"Eat some while it's hot!" Xu Deping opened the lunchbox he had brought and said with a simple smile, "These are all your sister-in-law's specialties. You can't waste her good intentions!"

"No, no, no, Brother Xu, I can do it myself!" Ning Yanlan quickly reached out her hand to tell Xu Deping not to bother.

"It's alright, I just wanted to express my apologies for what happened before. I stopped you earlier because there have been too many strange things happening lately, making everyone uneasy! Now that you've come to Xu Family Village, we must treat you well as guests." Xu Deping said hospitably.

"Brother Xu, I can do it myself!" Ning Yanlan immediately stopped her, picked up her chopsticks, and started tasting the food.

She really hadn't had a hot meal all day, mostly eating snacks, which tasted quite special now.

"Sister-in-law's cooking is really good!" Ning Yanlan praised after taking several bites.

"Eat a few more bites, otherwise you won't have the stamina to fight in this post-apocalyptic environment!" Xu Deping's honest smile seemed to have changed slightly, especially when he talked about fighting, it was obviously a bit frivolous.

But Ning Yanlan had preconceived notions and assumed Xu Deping was a good person, so she didn't notice these things. Suddenly, she remembered, "By the way, Brother Xu, I remember I closed the door. How did you get in?"

Xu Deping smiled and then said, "I have a spare key!"

"Spare key!" Ning Yanlan was startled. Although she hadn't been a police officer for long, this still alerted her.

"Where's your husband? Is he still not awake?" Xu Deping looked up at the bedroom.

"No!" Ning Yanlan felt something was off, and her smile seemed to have faded a bit.

"By the way, you and your husband do a lot of activities at night, don't you?" Xu Deping suddenly asked a strange question.

"Huh?" Ning Yanlan didn't react for a moment.

"What do you want to do!" Ning Yanlan brandished the short dagger in her hand. She hadn't expected that Xu Deping was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and that everything he did was an act. It was hateful that she hadn't reacted immediately.

"No need to resist anymore, there's a drug in the food, a drug that will make you feel like you're in heaven!" Xu Deping no longer concealed his lewd thoughts.

"vomit!"

Ning Yanlan immediately tried to vomit, but only a small amount came out.

"Beauty, there's no need to waste your time. The drug's effects are almost complete!" Xu Deping sneered, already unbuckling his belt.

"Don't come any closer!" Ning Yanlan had already realized that she was starting to feel dizzy, and at this moment she could only threaten with her short dagger.

"If you want to join our Xu Family Village, you have to become one of our women! This is only the first night, and you're lucky enough to be serving me! But tomorrow, you'll be serving that old geezer, the village chief! So, enjoy tonight!" Xu Deping became emboldened.

This is the end times, where the ugliness of human nature is on full display. Without restraint, this place is hell.

Ning Yanlan's vision was already blurred, and she could no longer hold the short dagger in her hand.

“This medicine could knock out even a cow, but you just need to lie down!” Xu Deping had already walked over at this moment.

Ning Yanlan swayed unsteadily, but her last bit of willpower still led her to run towards the room where Jiang Yuan was lying.

"Haha, little beauty, you're really sensible, knowing to let your man watch over you. Looks like you like excitement too!" Xu Deping grinned lewdly.

With a bang, Ning Yanlan rushed into the room and slammed the door shut, locking it from the inside. As she threw herself into Jiang Yuan's arms, she finally succumbed to the drug's effects and leaned against him, feeling dizzy.

"Little beauty, there's no need to resist anymore. My strength has already broken through level four. This door is like a piece of paper to me!"

Thump, thump, thump. Xu Deping started pounding on the door. The wooden door was already cracked and would break apart after a few more punches.

"Jiang Yuan! If you don't wake up, I will hate you for the rest of my life!" Ning Yanlan's consciousness was already fading, and she used her last bit of strength to bite her teeth.

Ning Yanlan bit Jiang Yuan's neck and then passed out completely.

At the same time, the door was smashed open, and Xu Deping walked in.

Just as he ripped off Ning Yanlan's bathrobe, Jiang Yuan regained consciousness. His physical body's first-level strength jumped from 99% to 100% at the last moment, and the external force behind this was Ning Yanlan's good teeth.

"Um!"

Jiang Yuan sat up abruptly, but at that moment, Ning Yanlan was stripped naked. Jiang Yuan quickly grabbed the blanket and hugged her tightly.

"Damn it!" Jiang Yuan clenched his fists, his heart filled with boundless rage.

Because of his negligence, Ning Yanlan almost lost her innocence.

"You piece of trash, how dare you ruin my good time! Fine, I'll kill you first, then I'll enjoy this beautiful body!" Xu Deping roared and threw a punch straight at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan didn't know where he was or what had happened, but he knew that anyone who tried to harm him would die, especially now that his strength had reached level ten, his mindset had already changed.

When you are stronger than one person, you are a bandit; when you are stronger than a hundred people, you are a general; when you are stronger than ten thousand people, you are a king; when you are stronger than everyone else, you are a god!

"If power allows one to do whatever one wants!"

Xu Deping's punch was incredibly slow in Jiang Yuan's eyes. He easily dodged Xu Deping's fist with a simple dodge. "So, can I kill your whole family?"

"Hmph, isn't that so?" Xu Deping sneered repeatedly. He looked at Ning Yanlan on the bed, "If I'm powerful, she belongs to me. I can do whatever I want with her. Can she resist?"

"Yes! Weakness is the original sin!" Jiang Yuan spoke calmly, but the anger in his heart had reached a point where it could not be quelled.
