The next morning, Qin Su woke up before dawn.
The rain was still falling outside. The dark night was like a gaping hole, constantly spewing water, trying to drown the whole world.
It's been raining for almost a month now, and if things were like they were in my previous life, it would continue for another two months.
However, now, many people are running out of food, and there are even incidents of people fighting over food and resorting to cannibalism.
The next two months will definitely be even more dangerous.
Although the resort is currently safe, sooner or later someone will notice it.
They won't be as easily fooled as the city officials last time. When people are starving, they won't care about anything else.
But to Qin Su's surprise, those people arrived so quickly.
A few days later, the hungry crowd surrounded the resort one morning.
"Listen up, you people inside! Hand over the food, and we'll spare your lives!"
The people who came this time clearly knew they had an electric grid, and they brought insulated clothing as a special gift.
But they didn't have many insulating suits; only the first few people wore them.
The people at the front were clearly the leaders of the group.
Relying on their numbers, they attacked the city gate like ancient people besieging it, smashing it with wooden stakes!
If the resort's doors hadn't been sturdy enough, they would probably have been broken down by now.
But if they continue to bang on the door like this, the door probably won't last much longer.
"Miss, let's go out and fight them!"
As soon as Ji Ming spoke, everyone echoed his sentiments.
Qin Su shook her head. Those people outside are now like man-eating beasts.
They'll do anything for food.
Although the resort's people are skilled, they might be able to take on ten opponents at once. However, the enemy outnumbers them and is coming on strong; if they were to charge out, they would likely suffer heavy losses.
"Follow me."
Everyone was nervous, but they still obediently followed Qin Su to the warehouse.
Qin Su opened the innermost warehouse, inside which were the firearms she had previously purchased from abroad.
"Miss... how do you have so many..."
Ji Ming's tongue was tied in knots; these things weren't something ordinary people could possess.
"Given by my uncle."
Afraid of frightening them, Qin Su made up a random sentence.
Of course, this wasn't entirely made up. When she inspected the warehouse, she found stockpiled firearms, which her uncles must have hoarded.
However, she brought in much more later.
"You guys should know how to use these, right?"
They were all veterans, so of course they were familiar with these things.
Ji Ming excitedly picked up the bottle-shaped object beside him and confidently assured him.
"With these, we don't even need to leave the house to get rid of all the people outside!"
Qin Su smiled and said, "That's good!"
"You're in charge of those people outside."
"good!"
With their equipment, they weren't afraid at all.
Soon, an explosion was heard outside the villa.
Qin Su watched from upstairs as a large number of people collapsed to the ground.
Ji Ming, holding a megaphone, warned: "Either leave, or die!"
Those outside the manor never imagined that the people inside would be so ruthless, causing countless deaths and injuries with a single move.
Cries, shouts, and curses erupted into chaos.
Qin Su pursed her lips, feeling a tightness in her chest.
She is not a saint and will not feel guilty about those people's deaths.
In the apocalypse, the people she had to protect first and foremost were her own.
The thought that such cruel scenes would become more and more frequent in the future still made her somewhat sad.
"Qin Su, you wretched child! You actually tried to blow up your own father! You're living a life of luxury in there, completely disregarding your father's well-being. How could you be so unfilial?"
The arrogant voice came, and Qin Su was somewhat taken aback.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that one of the people wearing insulating clothing was Qin Shiqu.
After not seeing him for more than half a month, Qin Shiqu hadn't become skin and bones; in fact, he looked a bit plumper.
"Qin Su, don't think you can fool me this time. I'm your biological father, you have to take care of me!"
He seemed to have long forgotten that Qin Su had broken off her relationship with him.
Qin Su's gaze was indifferent. At this moment, Qin Shiqu looked like a clown in her eyes.
"Qin Su, you heartless bastard, you..."
Bang!
Before he could finish shouting, another bottle was thrown out.
Qin Shiqu fled in a sorry state, but as he left, his sinister eyes remained fixed on the resort.
"It seems the peaceful days are coming to an end!"
Qin Su sighed. Qin Shiqu was not very capable. The fact that he brought so many people here must have been at someone's behest.
In the apocalypse, someone with such prestige must be incredibly powerful.
"Perfect, this will allow everyone to practice in real combat!"
Qin Su noticed that when Huo Sijin talked about actual combat, the light in his eyes was very intense for a moment.
"Don't worry, my little apprentice. With your master here, I will never allow anyone to encroach on even a part of the resort."
Although he was quite capable, Qin Su felt that he was still a bit too confident.
In her past life, she had witnessed those kinds of relentless attacks.
That kind of fearless attitude towards death for a bite to eat is truly terrifying.
But at this moment, she didn't want to discourage him.
Perhaps, only when we actually experience it will we know the cruelty of the apocalypse.
With that thought in mind, she turned around and went back to the laboratory.
In the laboratory, the leafy green vegetables she planted have already sprouted tiny tender leaves.
Under the torrential rain, the tender leaves were like seeds of hope, gradually opening Qin Su's heart.
Perhaps she could do something else to make everyone's lives better.
Based on the vegetables sown the first time, she took out other varieties of vegetables to plant, and arranged everything that the plants needed to grow, including sunlight, rain, and nutrients. All the seeds were planted separately.
Then, they began researching plant growth promoters.
If a plant growth regulator can be developed, crops can be harvested at the fastest speed, and then the entire resort will no longer have to worry about food shortages.
Developing plant growth promoters can also be used to make deals with municipalities.
With the plant growth promoter, the city can ensure that people outside won't starve.
If people won't starve to death, outsiders naturally won't easily come to the resort to steal food and die!
This way, at least for the short term, outsiders will stop eyeing the resort!
Of course, it's impossible to give it away for free.
She needs to think carefully about what she can ask the city government for.
Qin Su locked herself in the laboratory, focusing on researching plant growth promoters, and before she knew it, evening had fallen.
Xu Jingzhi thought Qin Su had been hurt by Qin Shiqu, and her face was full of anxiety.
"I hope nothing bad has happened to the young lady."
"Oh, that Qin Shiqu is really despicable. They've already severed ties, so why is he still bothering the young lady?"
"If anything happens to the young lady, I'll fight him to the death!"
Even the usually gentle Xu Jingzhi was provoked into a fit of rage.
The crowd waiting outside wished they could go out and kill Qin Shiqu right now.
So what if she's the young lady's father? That kind of scum doesn't deserve to die!
