Lai Laowu's vulgar words caused his accomplices to laugh together, and they teased and said, "Beauty, don't be so fierce. Your husband is very busy now and has no time to take care of you. Why don't you come over and let the brothers take good care of you."
"Hahaha, Lao San, I'm so fucked when you say that. Damn, it's been so hot for so long, and I haven't touched a beautiful woman in a long time. This woman looks very hot, and it must be very enjoyable to have sex with her."
......
Si Nan should have been angry after hearing all those dirty words, but she started laughing at this moment.
Finally, there was a legitimate reason to test the crossbow in her hand.
The hardships and experiences she had endured since childhood had made her psychology somewhat distorted. She had long been tired of the world today. During the past three months of high temperatures, she had been working hard on fitness training and learning fighting skills. She also practiced the cross, word and crossbow every day. She hadn't been able to find a target to practice on, and today this group of people ran into her gun, so don't blame her for being rude.
She raised the crossbow in her hand and pointed it at Lai Laowu and his men, issuing a final warning: "I'll say it again, either leave or die."
"Oh, you're quite fierce." Lai Laowu smiled lewdly, strode to her, and reached out to touch her chest: "Don't be so fierce, come and let me touch you properly, I promise to satisfy you physically and mentally, and you will forget the taste of food."
The moment he stretched out his hand, everyone heard a slight "click" sound of the trigger being pulled, followed by Lai Laowu's shrill scream, covering his stomach, his eyes wide open, staring in disbelief at Si Nan falling to the side.
"Fuck! What's going on?! Did this woman really shoot arrows?! Are the bows and crossbows in her hands not toys?!"
The other men panicked for a while, but soon reacted and rushed over with their knives in hand, their faces grim: "You bitch, you're looking for death!"
As soon as the words fell, there was another sound of a man screaming, holding his stomach, curled up on the ground and wailing.
In the passage less than ten meters long, Si Nan shot while retreating calmly, keeping a distance from those ferocious men and kiting them.
Sinan has never learned traditional shooting skills, but after more than three months of self-training, her accuracy has reached 80%, and she can basically hit whatever she wants.
Now that the world has not collapsed, she certainly will not do anything to kill people. She just wants to teach those men a lesson and let them leave 1503. The iron arrows will be shot into their stomachs. No one will die, but it will be very painful.
There were five people in Lai Laowu's group. After Lai Laowu and his group were shot by arrows and fell to the ground one after another, they finally realized that the woman in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.
They were all people who had experienced many storms and waves. Although this injury was painful, it was not unbearable for the five of them. When the five of them curled up in the passage and howled in pain, Lai Laowu yelled: "Damn it, what the hell are you all lying there for! She's just a woman. How can she beat five grown men like us? Come on!"
Someone immediately stood up, holding a machete in his hand, and chopped at Si Nan fiercely, followed by the second one, the third one...
Si Nan glanced at 1501, which was diagonally opposite. There was a hollow guardrail about five meters between her and the corridor of 1501. Because each resident had an exclusive corridor in a U-shape, there were two elevators in front and back for residents to go up and down the stairs. In this way, there would be no door-to-door or household-to-household situations, which would cause dissatisfaction among residents due to occupying shared corridors and squeezing in elevators.
As a result, Cheng Suming, who was fighting fiercely with 1601 Yin Zuo, couldn't come over to help her immediately.
The crossbow can only fire five arrows in a row, and it has to be reloaded after each shot. Si Nan has not yet mastered the skill of how to reload arrows quickly. Seeing Lai Laowu and his men rushing towards her ferociously, she silently took out the bottle of chili from her bag, opened the bottle cap, raised her hand and waved -
"Fuck! What is this?!"
"It's the chili pepper! My eyes!"
"Ahhh! You bitch, I'm not done with you!"
A group of people wiped their tears and cried bitterly, while holding weapons and trying to chop Si Nan down.
Si Nan sighed silently, took out a baseball bat from his back, raised his hand, and aimed——
"Bang!" When the first person rushed over, she hit the person's head hard.
The leader didn't even have time to scream before he fell down with a bloody head and dizzy eyes.
The people behind braked quickly with tears in their eyes when they saw this, looking hesitant, not knowing whether to go forward or backward.
Si Nan helped them make the choice directly. He picked up the baseball bat and walked over, hitting the target accurately with every hit, just like playing whack-a-mole.
Amid the tooth-aching banging sounds, Lai Laowu and his companions all fell to the ground with their eyes rolled back.
Sun Caijun and his family stood at the door of 1503, staring at everything in a daze. They couldn't believe their eyes. Those ferocious creditors who almost wanted to kill them were easily defeated by the skinny woman in 1503. This was totally unreasonable!
"You, you actually dare to kill someone!" Soon Fang Huaimeng looked at Si Nan as if waking up from a dream, his body shaking uncontrollably.
Si Nan's mouth twitched, and he thought that Fang Huaimeng really lived up to her name, living in a dream. Did those people faint or were they killed by her? Is Fang Huaimeng blind?
Si Nan didn't want to waste time talking to them, so he said in a cold voice: "Whether they are dead or alive, you two should remember this: if you dare to gather together to rob us, you must be prepared for our 'legitimate defense'. I can spare you this time, but if there is a next time, they will end up like you! Get out of here!"
Fang Huaimeng shuddered all over and pulled the reluctant Sun Zijun. The couple, holding the child, rolled down the passage trembling.
"Anan, are you okay?" After Cheng Suming dealt with the troublesome Yin Zuo, he came over and saw the 'corpses' on the ground. A strange smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand to pull Si Nan, who was standing there at a loss, back to 1501 and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will let the JC handle this matter, and they will be fine."
As he spoke, he picked up his phone and made a call, first dialing 110 and briefly describing what had just happened. Then he dialed 120 emergency number and asked them to send two more ambulances to provide emergency treatment.
After making the call, he went to 1503 again, took the key to open the door, exported the surveillance video, connected it to the computer together with the video from 1501, and began to edit the video data that was beneficial to him.
The room was very quiet, with only the sound of Cheng Suming tapping on the keyboard. However, outside the door came the intermittent humming of the Huang family next door, which made Sinan feel upset.
When she made the move, the only thought in her mind was to get rid of those men. Now that she came to her senses and saw those men lying on the ground unconscious, she was worried that she had hit them too hard and seriously injured them, or that they would bite her back and she would be held legally responsible.
After all, she is a law-abiding citizen at heart. She has been honest and dutiful for so many years, and if she suddenly lets herself go, she will feel uneasy subconsciously.
Fortunately, the police and the ambulance arrived in time. Cheng Suming handed the cut surveillance video to the police and cooperated with the police to record his statement. The police asked Si Nan some simple questions. The Huang family, Lai Laowu and his people, and Yin Zuo were all carried away by the paramedics.
That night, the news that the couple from the Cheng family in Room 1501 were robbed by a group of people and then "killed" by a group of people spread throughout the Shenxianyuan community property management group.
Everyone was discussing this in the group, and someone said, "I didn't expect that the Huang family from 1504, who looked honest, would actually take advantage of Dr. Cheng and his wife going downstairs to collect supplies and break into their house to rob them. They were beaten to death by the couple, they really deserved it!"
"That's right. I heard that the robber this time also included the murderer named Yin from 1601! No one in our community dares to mess with that murderer. He usually looks sinister and we always avoid him. I don't know what tricks Doctor Cheng has used, but he actually subdued that murderer named Yin. He's really amazing!"
"I don't know what Doctor Cheng is up to. I only know that when the ambulance came, I saw the medical staff carrying Yin down. I heard that there were small cuts in the arteries of his limbs, and blood was flowing everywhere. If he wasn't rushed to the hospital, he might have died."
"This Doctor Cheng is so cruel!"
"How can he not be ruthless? Life is already difficult in this world, with news of robberies everywhere. Doctor Cheng has been busy treating us in the homeowners' group for a while, and he only charges some food and water as payment, which is many times better than the sky-high fees charged by hospitals, and yet people are still jealous of him. If he is not ruthless, everyone will know that he has food and drink at home, and everyone will come to steal and rob. Will he and his wife still be able to survive!"
"If you ask me, these bad apples should be driven out of our community. Do they really think our community is a place where all kinds of evil people live together? Isn't this bringing disaster to us property owners?"
"@超子大师, I think what you said is very right. For the sake of our children's physical and mental health, these evildoers should be driven out of our community and not allowed to come back to harm others."
"@Yuxin's mom, you think so too, right? Then why don't we just go all out and unite to drive out those people with criminal records from our community."
…
The Shenxianyuan owner group with over 2,000 members was chatting lively, but no one mentioned Si Nan. Si Nan breathed a sigh of relief, put down his phone and asked Cheng Su Ming, "Are you going out?"
Cheng Suming changed into a white shirt and black suit and came out of the room. Although he looked very handsome, in the hot weather of over 50 degrees, Si Nanguang felt hot for him just thinking about it.
"The street police station asked me to go there." When Cheng Suming passed by her, he rubbed her head with his hand and said with a smile: "They asked me to deal with the gang robbery. Don't worry, I will handle it properly. Those people, don't even think about appearing in front of us again."
His tone was somewhat cold, but it inexplicably made Si Nan feel at ease. She watched Cheng Su Ming leave and whispered, "I'm not a three-year-old child, why do you keep touching my head?"
The case of gang robbery came to a conclusion quickly. Not only were Cheng Suming and his companions not responsible for any medical expenses and legal responsibilities, but on the contrary, Lai Laowu and his companions, Huang Heguang's family, and Yin Zuo had to stay in the hospital for half a month. Then, the lawyer hired by Cheng Suming obtained some evidence and strongly requested the police to put them in the detention center for more than a month. When they came out, it was already late autumn and approaching winter, but the temperature had reached a high of 57 degrees.
If the previous high temperatures made people feel unbearable, now with the daytime temperature approaching 60 degrees, people only feel that the current life is adding fuel to the fire.
Countless electrical appliances, substations, air conditioners, and public power equipment exploded day and night. Houses were burning everywhere in the city, and firefighters were fighting the fires with precious water resources in the high temperatures.
If these explosions occurred during the day, people could still escape in time, but many of the explosions occurred at night when people were semi-asleep. When they woke up by the smell of fireworks, many people had no water to put out the fire and had no time to escape, and were burned to death in their homes.
The shadow of death hovered over the city. The air was filled with the smell of fireworks. The scorching temperature during the day would cause people to get sunburned within minutes of going out. The hot asphalt on the road surface had melted. The tires of open-air vehicles were directly flattened, cracked, and leaked, making it impossible to run on the high-temperature ground. Only then did the city truly come to a stop. The whole city was as quiet as a chicken. No cars were driving on the road, and no one was walking on the road.
In such hot weather, even with scheduled power supply, no one dared to turn on air conditioners, fans and other electrical appliances, for fear that they would explode, burn down the house and leave them homeless.
Without air conditioning, the temperature inside and outside the house is so hot that people would be slowly steamed in a big pot. At this time, people will not go out easily. They will just stay at home motionless, cool down naturally and save energy and water.
Because once you start moving, you will feel even hotter, and when you feel hot you will want to drink water like crazy. However, the supplies and water distributed by the country have been getting less and less recently. The main reason is that the weather is too hot and the ground is too hot, causing problems with the wheels and engines. It is becoming increasingly difficult to transport food and water, and the supplies that can be received are becoming less and less.
Therefore, most people dared not go out except to collect supplies, to deal with aging, illness and death, or to spend money and food to go to the summer resorts built by the state.
It was time to collect supplies again. This time it was around five in the morning, before dawn. The temperature was not as high as during the day, around 50 degrees. Everyone lined up to collect supplies with tired expressions and dull eyes.
The weather was too hot. Even if people slept on the floor, the walls and the floor were as hot as teppanyaki, making it impossible to fall asleep. Only when the temperature dropped by 7 or 8 degrees between 12 o'clock at night and 4 or 5 in the morning could people barely fall asleep.
In the past, everyone was still asleep at this time, but now they were called up to collect supplies. Except for the children who were still asleep and crying, everyone was in a relatively stable mood. If you don't come down to collect the supplies, you will miss this time, and you don't know when the next time will be. However, collecting supplies, no matter how much, will always keep you going for a while.
This time we received a pound of rice, two onions, more than 100 grams of dehydrated vegetables, and two liters of filtered seawater. These things should last for a week.
Many people who received the supplies gathered in groups of three or five and shook their heads: "With so little food and water, how can we survive for a week?"
"I usually eat more than this in a day. The country is treating me like a beggar!"
"How can we blame the government for this? The high temperatures have lasted for nearly five months, and the government has found ways to distribute all the food and drink to us. If the government really didn't want to care about the people, why would it spend so much effort to provide us with food and drink for so long?"
"But this little bit of food is not enough for everyone. My child is less than three months old. It's ok that I can't buy milk powder, but now I don't even have enough rice and water to make porridge for him to eat."
"What can we do? If you don't want your child to starve to death, why not find a way to go to the countryside or coastal areas. I heard that recently many people have gone to the countryside at night. Although it is hot at night and there are no street lights along the way, it is quite dangerous in the dark. However, no matter how dry the weather is, you can always dig up some grass roots and weeds to fill your stomach in the countryside. You can also buy some seawater desalination equipment in coastal areas and desalinate seawater for drinking. Although the desalinated water tastes weird and a little salty, it is better than a family starving to death or dying of thirst in the city."
…
Most of the people who came downstairs to collect supplies had chapped lips, pale faces, and greasy hair. Their bodies were covered in sweat that was so stinky that it could kill people. This was because they had not eaten enough, drunk enough, or taken a good bath for a long time.
Everyone looks like this now, so no one should look down on anyone else. On the contrary, people with smooth hair, no body odor, and a clean and fair complexion are quite eye-catching and will arouse the envy and jealousy of others.
Si Nan received the supplies and passed through the crowd. She could clearly feel the various looks from the crowd, but these looks were not directed at her, but at some wealthy and well-equipped ladies in Shenxian Garden.
They are used to living a good life and love cleanliness. In such hot weather, if they don't take a shower for a day, they will feel more uncomfortable than death.
Not only do they take a shower every day, they also spray perfume, put on exquisite makeup, wear all kinds of beautiful clothes, carry brand-name bags, and deliberately show off in front of a group of sour women.
This undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, but also made people secretly hate it.
During the time when Si Nan was queuing, three beautifully dressed young women were robbed by the angry crowd in front of the army soldiers. Although these rich wives were protected by bodyguards and the army soldiers stopped the robbery in time, there were too many people who disliked them.
It is obvious that they have no worries about food and clothing, and have no shortage of supplies, but they still take up a quota and deliberately come downstairs to get supplies to show off. Isn't this a blatant provocation to everyone? If not them, who else should we snatch?
Si Nan saw that the three women had their clothes stripped off by the angry people, even their bras were not spared, and some men took the opportunity to touch the women. The women covered their naked bodies and cried bitterly, while their husbands/boyfriends just stood by and scolded them for being brainless. Si Nan couldn't help but be thankful that she didn't take a shower or wash her hair for the first three days after receiving supplies, and before going out she would rub some dust from the wall on her face to make herself look less weird, otherwise if she was seen and targeted by someone with ulterior motives, her fate would be the same as theirs.
After receiving the supplies, she followed Cheng Suming closely, walked through the crowd, and climbed up to Building 14.
The elevator has not been used for a long time since the power outage. Last month, someone in Building 14 suggested that everyone contribute money and food to get a diesel generator to generate electricity on a regular basis to make it more convenient for everyone to go up and down the stairs. As a result, the people living on the lower floors disagreed, and the people on the higher floors reluctantly agreed. However, because there were too many people using it, the diesel could not keep up, and the elevator had accidents twice after it was used. Several people were trapped in the elevator and suffocated to death. Now, whether the people living in Building 14 like it or not, they have to climb up and down the stairs to get supplies.
When Si Nan and the other climbed to the eighth floor, they saw a pregnant woman with a seven or eight month's big belly slowly walking downstairs. It seemed that she was going to collect supplies.
No one knew if it was because of the hot weather that caused her to have heatstroke, or because she was hungry, but when the pregnant woman and Si Nan passed each other, she suddenly collapsed to the ground. Her feet slipped and she rolled down several stairs with a loud bang. The woman screamed in pain and lay on the ground bleeding profusely.
Seeing this, her husband quickly climbed down to help her, and turned to call Cheng Suming: "Doctor Cheng, please help me."
"I'm a surgeon, not an obstetrician and gynecologist. I can't help you." Cheng Suming picked up the phone with a cold expression and called the emergency number for the man. "Don't move her before the ambulance comes, so as not to hurt unnecessary parts."
Si Nan saw that the pregnant woman's face turned pale from the pain. After hesitating for a moment, she placed the bottle of water next to the pregnant woman and said to her husband, "I think she fell pretty hard. Give her some water first. If she needs to give birth, drinking water will give her strength."
"Thank you, thank you." The man lifted the pregnant woman's head gently in a panic, wanting to ask Si Nan for help. When he looked up, he found that Si Nan was gone. He felt disappointed, but he quickly cheered up and followed Si Nan's instructions. He lifted the pregnant woman's head, comforted her and fed her water.
When Si Nan returned home, Cheng Su Ming found that the water in her hand was gone, raised his eyebrows and asked: "When did you become so kind?"
Si Nan put the supplies into the space, put on comfortable sandals and walked into the living room. He took out two bottles of frozen soda from the space, handed one to Cheng Su Ming, opened it and took a sip, "I'm not being kind. The pregnant woman fell right next to us. If her husband had ulterior motives, he could have taken the opportunity to blackmail us, saying that we bumped into his wife and caused her to fall, and asked us to take responsibility. But he didn't do anything, just asked us to help. I don't think the couple are bad people."
Cheng Suming opened the soda and said, "If that person gets scared and doesn't have time to blackmail us, your soda will be wasted."
"It's okay to skip stones, I don't need that little water." Having said that, Si Nan still sighed: "It's so hot, people can't stand it, let alone the chickens, geese and fish on the balcony. I see that the chickens on the balcony are all wilted during the power outage. I have some time today, why not kill them all."
"You're finally willing to kill them." Cheng Suming went to the kitchen and took out a shiny kitchen knife. "Do you want some chicken blood?"
Following the principle of eating what can be eaten and not wasting anything, Si Nan nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
There are a total of six chickens and two geese on the balcony. The noisiest one was killed two months ago, and now there are five left. Sinan wanted to eat chicken blood, so he went to the kitchen and took two large bowls, filled each with half a bowl of water, put some salt in them and stirred them, then brought them to the balcony.
Cheng Suming was pinching the throat of the big white goose, preparing to give this goose, which was responsible for preventing fire, theft and him, a blow to prevent it from ruining his good deeds.
Unexpectedly, when the goose saw Si Nan, it shouted at him as if it had seen a savior, and a crocodile tear actually flowed from its oval goose eyes.
Si Nan: "Ah, the gander is crying. It is so smart and must not want to die. Su Ming, let's keep it here."
Cheng Suming:......
This scheming goose, it didn't cry earlier or later, but it just happened to make Si Nan appear and act like this, who is it trying to disgust!
If he doesn't kill it, he will kill its wife to let it know what a sinister human heart is!
Cheng Suming snorted coldly, threw away the gander in his hand, grabbed the female goose, and the female goose struggled twice, and an egg actually came out of her butt, which fell into his hand with a thud.
Cheng Suming: ...
Si Nan couldn't hold back and burst out laughing: "The goose is still laying eggs. There should be quite a few unformed eggs in its stomach. It would be a pity to kill it. Let's keep them all."
Cheng Suming remembered that every night, whenever he stood up, whether to go to the toilet or to get a little closer to Sinan, the gander would howl. He would turn around silently, grab a rooster, and cut its throat with a knife.
The fat white body of the gander trembled, as if it understood that the man was killing the chicken to scare the geese. It silently took a step closer to the Si Nan, and made up its mind that in the future, it would find a way to rely on this support to ensure its life.
