"Lin Yue, there are so many of us. If you put your bag down now, you'll suffer less. If we get physical, you might not be able to get back safely," said Li Hong, who lived in the same building as Zhao Qiang.
When Zhao Qiang was injured, he didn't dare to utter a word, but now that there are more people around, he's spouting high-sounding platitudes.
"Enough with the nonsense, come on if you're not afraid of death." Lin Yue didn't want to waste any more time, so she picked up her axe and started walking uphill.
She promised her parents she would live well, and that meant she would live well. No one could bully her; she would fight anyone who dared to cross her and see who valued their life more.
When Zhao Qiang saw Lin Yue coming up, he immediately retreated in fear, and his wife also shrank to the side, not daring to move.
Li Hong held onto his wife, but he didn't dare to rush forward either, only pulling his wife back.
Two men who came up from the third floor saw Lin Yue walking up, and one of them picked up the wooden stick that Zhao Qiang had dropped and rushed up to hit Lin Yue.
Lin Yue turned around and swung the axe down.
Do you really think she's some delicate little girl? If she can't notice Cang Yu's movements, does she think she can't hear them?
If she can't beat Cang Yu, surely she can beat this bunch of trash who only know how to shout?
The man with the wooden stick couldn't dodge in time, and his clothes were torn open at the chest, blood seeping out. If it weren't for the thick clothes, he would have died right there.
The squeals of pigs then rang out.
This time, everyone was stunned by Lin Yue. The people on the fourth floor immediately hid in their homes and locked the doors tightly, leaving only Zhao Qiang and Li Hong, a married couple, cowering in fear.
"I'm late, I missed the fun!" Cang Yu said as he came upstairs carrying a large bag.
The wolf also had a small package strapped to its body, its eyes gleaming green as it stared at the person on it.
This time, the people on the third floor were completely terrified and wanted to retreat, but when they saw the wolf, they couldn't even move their feet.
Zhao Qiang and the others trembled even more when they heard Cang Yu's voice.
When this person was dismantling the second-floor window before, they tried to stop him, but if they hadn't dodged quickly, they would have been bitten by that wolf.
"Perfect timing to check out car exhaust fumes." Lin Yue rarely joked like this after so long.
"Lin Yue." Cang Yu ignored the two men who were cowering, patted the wolf's head to let it block the way underneath, and then walked up to Lin Yue as if nothing had happened. "Give me the axe."
Cang Yu reached out his hand, waiting for Lin Yue to hand him the axe.
After a moment's consideration, Lin Yue handed the axe to Cang Yu.
Cang Yu has a gun; killing her would be easy for him. It's impossible that he would deliberately trick her into giving him a weapon. Moreover, he knows she has a spatial ability, so he must know that she has more than one weapon.
So, give it to Cang Yu and see what he's really up to.
"Good girl!" Cang Yu praised, without even looking at Lin Yue's reaction, and directly picked up his axe and walked towards the man who had ambushed Lin Yue. He hadn't just returned. "Lin Yue, watch this carefully, you have to be ruthless in the apocalypse."
After saying that, Cang Yu took the axe and chopped it directly at the man's neck. Blood gushed out immediately, but because of the cold weather, it froze before it could even spray.
Cang Yu's speed was not hindered in the slightest by the large and small bags he was carrying.
The man who attacked Lin Yue didn't even get a chance to shout; he just stared wide-eyed and died.
Another person, trembling, said, "Killing...killing...people is illegal, we need to call...call...the police."
"Yes, that's illegal. Go call the police, as long as they can come."
It's been four days since the apocalypse began, and only this neighborhood still has a decent amount of food. In other places, order has long since collapsed, and with the city locked down by heavy snow, the police are overwhelmed with work.
It's not that the police really don't care; people die every day, and the police are powerless to do anything about it.
Cang Yu, carrying the axe, returned to Lin Yue's side and handed it to her.
"Do you understand?"
The little girl hasn't experienced the harsh realities of the apocalypse; she's too gentle. That won't do.
Lin Yue looked at Cang Yu, wondering why he had suddenly helped her, but she didn't say much, only taking the axe and saying, "I understand!"
Although she was prepared to fight to the death, she still thought that she should avoid killing if possible. However, she never considered that the world would not allow her to do so even if she wanted to avoid killing.
No one stopped her anymore, and Lin Yue returned home carrying the blood-stained axe.
She put down her bag and sat in the dark living room, her mind replaying the dream she had earlier: she was being tortured to death, the arrogant and greedy laughter, and her blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.
In the latter half of the night, Lin Yue sat there, drinking cup after cup of spiritual spring water, repeatedly recalling the scenes in her dream. Listening to the sounds of Cang Yu going out and coming back again and again, her heart hardened completely.
Lin Yue sat there until dawn, then washed her face, took out ten meat buns and put them on a plate, along with two cups of soy milk, all still steaming hot, and went to Cang Yu's house.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, I saw Cang Yu coming down from the rooftop with Cang Lang.
"What is Mr. Cang doing on the rooftop?"
"Snow removal has to be done every day, otherwise we can't handle it."
Lin Yue was taken aback.
As expected, she lacked life experience and didn't even know that snow needed to be removed from the rooftop.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cang has been doing all this work these past few days. I'll go up and remove the snow tomorrow."
Looking back now, the top floor didn't have a roof; it was just like many self-built houses in rural areas, with the floor directly above without any insulation. If too much snow accumulated, it really couldn't withstand the heat.
"Just call me Cang Yu. What brings you here?"
When Cang Yu saw the steamed bun in Lin Yue's hand, he knew that Lin Yue must have something to ask him. If it wasn't something, given her personality, she probably wouldn't even want to see him.
"Cang Yu, I want you to teach me some deadly skills. In return, I'll cover your and your wolf's food during the learning period," Lin Yue said firmly.
Judging from the dishes he cooked last time the door was installed, she guessed that Cang Yu was probably not good at cooking.
Cang Yu was reborn and must have experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse. He knows deadly moves, unlike her. The moves she practiced since childhood are okay for fighting, but they would be useless against groups of people risking their lives in the apocalypse.
They both knew each other's secrets, so by learning from him, she could take a shortcut and avoid the arduous struggle of hard work.
Now, she provides him and the wolf with food, and he teaches her survival skills; they should work well together.
"The wolf doesn't eat cooked food, and it eats a lot." Cang Yu took a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
Hmm, it tastes good. I've been eating self-heating rice for the past two days, and compared to the braised pork and beef brisket I had before, it's a bit too greasy.
Lin Yue thought about the meat she had stored at the farm before, and then said, "The meat I stored is enough for Canglang to eat for a year." In fact, it's more than that. Even if we calculate based on Canglang eating 20 catties of meat per meal, the meat in her space is enough for Canglang to eat for ten years and more.
But people can't be that honest.
Cang Yu finished one steamed bun, grabbed another, opened the door, grabbed a cup of soy milk, and went straight inside without closing the door.
Lin Yue watched and followed him inside.
The living room was the same as when she last came; there was only a sofa and a table, nothing else.
Cang Yu's supplies should all be stored in the other two empty rooms, but it doesn't matter where they are, since she's not here to steal them anyway.
