Chapter Thirty-Nine: Breaking Down the Door

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer. This time, Mu Qingyu saw several adults suddenly emerge from the blind spot around the house.

"Hey, you people living in villas, do you have any conscience? The child is crying like this, and not a single person is willing to come out and help? The world is going to the dogs!" a man with a gruff voice yelled.

“We know there are people at home. We escaped from the city, but it’s in chaos now, with man-eating monsters everywhere. We barely made it here, and we’re not bad people. We just want some food, or at least some water,” a woman pleaded.

"Are they playing good cop, bad cop?" Mu Qingrong looked out the window at the people outside. Seeing their shamelessness, she turned to Mu Qingyu and asked, "And how dare they call us heartless? Was it our child? Did we make the child cry? What nonsense are they spouting?"

Mu Qingyu looked at Mu Qingrong and laughed. From her past life to this life, she didn't actually know much about Mu Qingrong before the apocalypse.

From the moment she was brought back to the Mu family, her impression of Mu Qingrong was that he was a well-behaved and quiet child who didn't talk much and had no temper.

When she saw Mu Qingrong again after the apocalypse in her previous life, Mu Qingrong had become somewhat sharp. She spoke in a sarcastic tone and always liked to say something sarcastic. Apart from being kind to her, she either ignored everyone else or was unpredictable in her mood.

At first, Mu Qingyu thought that the drastic changes in Mu Qingrong's life after the apocalypse caused the changes in Mu Qingrong.

At that time, Mu Qingrong was always in Mu Xiaoxiao's team, so the siblings rarely saw each other. Every time Mu Qingrong came to see her, she would bring her some supplies.

Mu Qingrong's superpowers were far inferior to those of other elemental beings like wind, fire, lightning, and thunder. At the beginning, she was just barely surviving in the base.

Later, Mu Qingrong helped her find a reliable team, and she gradually worked her way up to team leader, after which her life slowly improved.

Although they don't see each other often, whenever Mu Qingrong appears, it's always to help her.

However, every time she saw Mu Qingrong, Mu Qingrong's condition seemed to worsen. Eventually, even when facing her, Mu Qingrong rarely smiled.

Mu Qingyu asked him why, but he always smiled and made excuses to brush it off. Mu Qingyu also asked him if he would be willing to leave Mu Xiaoxiao's team and live with her. Mu Qingrong refused.

Mu Qingqing didn't dare to force him to stay—she herself needed Mu Qingrong's help to live, so what right did she have to force him to live with her? She couldn't even guarantee her own survival... To put it bluntly, she had no confidence at all.

It wasn't until later that she discovered someone was following and monitoring Mu Qingrong every time he went out... It wasn't until later that she learned about the things Mu Xiaoxiao said to hurt her...

"Sis, why are you staring at me like that? It's kind of scary." Mu Qingrong looked at Mu Qingyu and patted her chest seriously.

Mu Qingyu's memories were pulled back by Mu Qingrong's voice, and she realized that the people outside the door had started banging on the door when no one responded.

"I was just stunned because I didn't expect my little Rong to swear," Mu Qingyu explained jokingly.

Mu Qingrong pursed his lips: "It's normal for you not to know, it's just that none of you have noticed." After saying that, he quickly added, "Sister, it's not your fault that you don't know. You've only been home for a few days. I'm your cousin, not your biological brother. We're on different levels, so it's normal that we don't see each other often."

Mu Qingyu didn't dwell on the past, so she smiled and replied, "But from now on, we're siblings. You're my only family in this world. Look, our names are only one character different. Who dares to say we're not siblings?"

Although she spoke as if she were teasing a child, it was also her true feeling.

“Sister is right!” Mu Qingrong smiled, her eyes crinkling with joy. “From now on, we’ll be a family of three! Sister, brother, and—” He pointed to the little puppy who was exploring its new home after eating and drinking its fill, “and Xiao Hei.”

Little Black? It was indeed grayish-brown, but Mu Qingrong looked at him with a complicated expression. Her brother's talent for naming was just as terrible as his cooking skills!

"Thump!"

A loud noise came from outside the courtyard gate.

Those people actually used axes to chop at the door; clearly, they intended to force their way in after failing to persuade them.

However, the outermost layer of the gate was made of wood, and it was only after the axe was chopped down that it was discovered that there was actually a steel plate inside.

"Damn it! Hey! Blackie, get over the wall!" Seeing that breaking down the door was impossible, the man with the gruff voice immediately gave the order and prepared to climb over the wall to get in.

The height of the wall is no problem at all. They were already thieving, cheating, and swindling before the apocalypse; they're not afraid of high walls. They used to worry about making too much noise and getting the police, but now the city's in chaos, there's no electricity, and no phone signal—what's there to be afraid of!

"Dacheng, you're second. Go in and drag everyone out of the house... cough spit..." The gruff voice roared while spitting out a mouthful of phlegm.

The two henchmen responded quickly upon hearing the order.

A few minutes later, a bald head appeared outside the wall of Building 3. A skinny young man, looking like a monkey, appeared on the wall.

Aunt Mei, who was also observing the situation outside from the window next door, suddenly became nervous. In fact, she had been sweating ever since those people started banging on the door. She picked up her phone to call the police, but then she remembered that her phone was out of battery. Even if it had a little battery, it wouldn't be of any use, as there was no signal and she couldn't make a call.

"Xiao Mo, what do we do? They're in! What will happen to Xiao Yu and the others? What will happen to us?" Aunt Mei was frantic. She wanted to help, but the house was full of elderly, weak, and disabled people...

"Aunt Mei, don't worry, let's see how things go..." Xiao Mo said calmly. If the situation continued to worsen, he could use his special ability, but at most he could only take down two adult men right now, and those people looked to be six adults...

While Xiao Mo was thinking, what he couldn't see was that a window in Building 3 had been opened a crack, and a gleaming arrow was already aimed at the skinny monkey's bald head.

"Get out! I'll only count to three!" Mu Qingyu said loudly from behind the window, riding the Qiongnu.

"A woman, damn it! Big brother, there's a woman in the room!" Skinny Monkey got excited when he heard Mu Qingyu's voice. Women are great, women are easy to bully, easy to conquer, and even easier to use!

He was initially wary, but now he was completely unafraid and stood on the wall, ready to jump into the yard.

"Whoosh—"

The arrow shot through the air, so there was no need to count to three anymore! Saved us a lot of trouble!
