Chapter Thirty-Two

City A

The city is plunged into deep darkness at night. The neon lights and streetlights of yesteryear have completely vanished from the city.

The darkness was accompanied by the roars of zombies.

Inside the old residence of the Mu family.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, look, your uncle has always treated you well, hasn't he? Why don't you take your uncle with you this time? You can't just leave your uncle's family here, can you?" Mu Xiangbei bowed to Mu Xiaoxiao, humbly smiling and trying to please her, but his words still carried the habitual moral blackmail.

Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao was no saint. She looked at Mu Xiangbei with a mixture of mockery and disdain: "Uncle, a few days ago I asked you to take out all your money to help me stockpile supplies. How did you laugh at me then? Did you say I was dreaming? Fine, you don't have to give me your money, but you should stockpile some things for yourself!"

"In the end, instead of doing anything productive, you brought two burdens with you. Let me make this clear: Uncle, I have no objection to you leaving with us. But—I'm not willing to take your burdens with me!" She showed no intention of giving Mu Xiangbei any face. With the apocalypse upon us, who did Mu Xiangbei think he was?

She was willing to bring Mu Xiangbei along, not out of sentimentality. Someone like Mu Xiangbei wouldn't treat his own son well, so how could he treat his niece well? She was willing to bring him along because she valued his shrewdness and calculating nature. She planned to establish her own base in the future, and keeping Mu Xiangbei as a steward wouldn't be bad.

If a better candidate comes along later, it won't be too late to kick Mu Xiangbei out.

"You stinking bitch...you stinking woman, who are you calling a burden!" A boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old suddenly stood up in the candlelight, but he held back the curse words he was about to utter.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the three people in front of her with even more disdain: Mu Xiangbei, his mistress, and his illegitimate child.

When Mu Qingrong suddenly disappeared, Mu Xiangbei was not worried at all. The first thing he did was to go to Mu Qingrong's house to look for his deceased wife's inheritance.

As a result, everything in the entire house disappeared, and ironically, no one in the Mu family dared to call the police.

Although they didn't understand how their belongings disappeared, and although they suspected that Mu Qingrong was responsible, they dared not call the police!

Yes, I dare not!

Whether it was Mu Xiangnan and his wife or Mu Xiangbei, they all had a lot of dirty deeds to do and dared not deal with the police at all.

They only dared to secretly send people to look for Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingrong, siblings. What a use! Before they even found them, the apocalypse arrived!

After failing to find Mu Qingyu, Mu Xiaoxiao could only turn her attention to stockpiling supplies. However, when she started stockpiling, there were only two days left until the apocalypse.

The continuous heavy rains prompted many vigilant people to start hoarding supplies, causing prices to skyrocket, with the prices of basic necessities rising at an alarming rate.

She had advised Mu Xiangnan and his wife, as well as Mu Xiangbei, to either get money for her or stockpile some supplies themselves.

Because Mu Xiangnan and his wife loved her, they gave her some money, even though they didn't believe her stories about the apocalypse. Mu Xiangbei, on the other hand, only knew how to mock her and even brought his burdensome mistress and useless illegitimate son, Mu Yan, into the main house.

Speaking of Mu Xiangbei's good-for-nothing illegitimate son, he is only one year younger than Mu Qingrong. In his previous life, he was a good-for-nothing for his entire life. He did not awaken any special abilities and was arrogant and ignorant.

Mu Yan followed them on their escape, sponging off his parents the whole time. In less than three months, he ate his own mother to death on the run. Six months later, he killed himself.

At that time, Mu Xiaoxiao was regarded as a saint at the Longming Base, and Mu Yan always referred to himself as the saint's younger brother.

Even in the apocalypse, he still couldn't resist causing trouble everywhere. He somehow got the money to gamble with people with superpowers, lost the bets, refused to acknowledge the supplies, and ended up having his arm chopped off.

Those superhumans even approached Mu Xiaoxiao, wanting to exchange this "younger brother's" life for some supplies. Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't care at all about this adopted younger brother and couldn't be bothered with the life or death of this useless illegitimate son.

In the end, Mu Yan died from excessive blood loss.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Mu Xiangbei dared not step forward, nor utter a single word to the superhumans or to Mu Xiaoxiao, who stood by and watched her die. Only at the very end, after the superhumans had carelessly disposed of Mu Yan's body, did he dare to collect the remains of this illegitimate child.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked down on this whole family, so she only agreed to bring Mu Xiangbei with her.

She didn't even bother to glance at Mu Yan, and said to Mu Xiangbei with extreme impatience, "Uncle, let me be frank, I can only take you with me at most. If Xiao Rong were here, I would naturally take him too, but he's not. Never mind... you can think about it yourself!"

Seeing that Mu Xiangbei still wanted to fight, Mu Xiaoxiao was too lazy to waste her time on him. Mu Xiangbei was dispensable to begin with. Besides, things were different now than in her previous life—she no longer had her spatial ability, nor did she have as many resources as in her current one!

She was unwilling to waste limited resources on useless people! The fewer useless people there were, the less resources were wasted.

"Siyu, let's go and see if there's anything we haven't taken yet," Mu Xiaoxiao said softly to Huo Siyu.

In the past, she was extremely gentle with Huo Siyu, partly because she genuinely liked him, and partly because she enjoyed the thrill of stealing Mu Qingyu's man!

Why should Mu Qingyu, this country bumpkin, come back just like that, when she's been a pampered young lady for twenty years? Does she have to give up her position the moment she returns? Just look at the old man's attitude; he seems to want to kick Mu Xiaoxiao out of the Mu family immediately.

Why should she? It's not Mu Xiaoxiao's fault that Mu Qingyu was switched at birth!

Mu Xiaoxiao loathed Mu Qingyu, loathed her from the bottom of her heart, as if they were natural enemies. But she didn't want Mu Qingyu to die; she wanted to watch Mu Qingyu live a humble and miserable life, just like in her previous life!
