Chapter 5 Without hesitation, the two unconscious men were given...
When Aunt Zhang and her son woke up a few days ago, everything outside had changed. They couldn't buy anything, but luckily they still had some of their previous stock.
Since yesterday, there are more shops outside, so I can finally buy things again.
However, Aunt Zhang was still immersed in her self-satisfaction with her superpowers. When she went out, she would only go out to buy clothes and get her hair permed. She was not well-educated, could not think about long-term things, and had no sense of crisis.
Hearing her son's words, Aunt Zhang realized something was wrong and quickly put on her coat, preparing to go out and buy more things to stock up.
There are many shops outside the resettlement houses, and now more than half of them are open, and they are all crowded with people.
After a long and arduous journey, Aunt Zhang and her son finally managed to buy a bag of things, enough for them to eat for only two days.
Many shops close within two or three hours of opening, so if you go too late, you won't be able to buy anything.
Suddenly remembering something, Zhang Xinren asked, "Mom, did you see Shanran hoard anything last night at her house?"
"Her refrigerator and pantry were quite full, but they were about the same as before she went to Zone 4, with no change."
At this point, Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered, "I don't know what her basement looks like. I was too busy last night and forgot to go down and see. But she has a very large cold storage room on the second basement floor, which must be filled with a lot of things."
Zhang Xinren and her son exchanged a glance, realizing they were thinking the same thing.
They were going to visit Shan Ran's family.
When we arrived at the large villa, the workers were still busy in the yard.
Zhang Xinren stared wide-eyed at the drastically changed house before him, frozen in place. Hearing his mother say it was one thing, seeing it with his own eyes was quite another.
A thought suddenly popped into his head.
Even if something really bad happens in the future, it will be safe to live in this house, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xinren's eyes gradually turned greedy as he looked back.
Aunt Zhang brought her key. In the past, when Shan Ran was in class, Aunt Zhang would just open the door and go inside. But now the key won't go in at all.
They looked at each other in disbelief.
"Did Shanran change the locks?"
"She didn't even change the door, so why would she change the lock?"
Aunt Zhang's breathing became more rapid. "It can't be that she's trying to protect herself from me, can it?"
Zhang Xinren thought for a moment and comforted her, "Mom, you've known each other for so long, there's no reason for her to do this. Isn't she renovating the house recently? Maybe she changed the locks because of the renovation."
Aunt Zhang thought it made sense, so the two decided to come back next time to find out more.
She's taken care of Shanran for so long, so many years of friendship! Shanran lives alone in such a big house, and has so much stuff, what's a little bit of sharing with them?
After gaining superpowers, Zhang Xinren's confidence swelled even more. He had always had feelings for Shan Ran, but she had always been a high-and-mighty, aloof little princess. In addition, he was worried about affecting his mother's work, so he had always kept it well hidden.
But things are different now. If Shanran didn't have superpowers, he could protect her and maybe even become her partner and take care of her.
In this way, the house and supplies would all be his.
——
Shan Ran was out purchasing supplies at the time and had no idea of Aunt Zhang and her son's elaborate scheme.
It must be said that Aunt Zhang's professional skills are quite good; she does a very good job of cleaning the house.
After getting up early in the morning, Shanran worked out in the gym on the third floor for more than an hour before going out.
In the book, Shan Ran is constantly practicing fighting and combat techniques, which is basically consistent with Shan Ran's original habits.
I don't know if it's a coincidence.
Today is the seventh day, and the streets are gradually becoming more crowded, with some official institutions also reopening.
Shan Ran received news that the district chiefs of District 1 and District 2 had both gained supernatural abilities and had begun to maintain social order again.
Ordinary people on the third continent cannot access the internet of the other two continents and know nothing about the situation there.
However, the mountain has special paths that allow one to climb onto the nets on both sides.
The Second Continent currently prohibits people from leaving their homes at will, except for essential workplaces. Each household is allowed only one person to leave at a time, whether for shopping or other needs.
.
The First Continent was even more strictly controlled, with all residents prohibited from leaving their homes unless they obtained a special work permit. They could not even go out to buy supplies; instead, the community would make the purchases and then distribute them to each household.
The major families strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving, rigorously protecting all family members, and very little internal information leaks out.
In comparison, although the Third Continent is chaotic, at least one can come and go freely.
Besides shopping, Shanran also went out today to pick up a Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) from a place recommended by the black market.
The location is in an urban village in the central city of District 1.
There are no slums in District 1, but every city has a few urban villages, where houses are densely packed, alleys are narrow, there are many residents, and people are mixed together.
Shan Ran parked the car outside the urban village and then got out.
A tall, heavy-duty motorhome, and a beautiful, tall young woman.
Shan Ran attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared.
However, no one dared to make a move. A girl who appeared so conspicuously, especially alone, might possess some terrifying supernatural abilities.
Walking into the urban village, it looks much more chaotic inside than outside.
Argumentation came from upstairs. Two groups of people were shouting at each other in the corridor. Several people took out kitchen knives, and someone on the other side threatened to use superpowers. However, both sides were just bluffing and did not actually fight.
The ground floor of the main road inside the urban village is mostly shops, and more than half of them are closed. The shops that are open, whether they are beauty salons, hair salons, or restaurants, have a lot of people coming and going.
There were bound to be some arguments and quarrels inside.
Shan Ran successfully obtained the Mo Dao she wanted.
This is a long-handled knife. Shan Ran shortened it according to his own needs. It is about 1.5 meters long and weighs 8 kilograms.
If Shan Ran weren't 170cm tall and hadn't trained regularly, and hadn't practiced swordsmanship as a hobby before transmigrating into the book, she wouldn't be able to use this sword at all now.
Besides firearms, she would definitely need to prepare a handy melee weapon, just in case.
Shan Ran strapped the Mo Dao to his back and slowly walked outside.
After passing a narrow intersection, a muffled "whooshing" sound came from the alleyway on the right, interspersed with the intermittent cries of a child for help.
Shan Ran frowned, hesitated for two seconds, and then decided to go and take a look.
This alley is very narrow, with the entrance door to a ground floor house on one side.
The doors and windows of the houses ahead were all tightly closed. Near the end of the alley, there was a door that was ajar, and the sound was coming from inside.
As she approached, Shanran heard the sound of fabric tearing.
She pushed the door open, and the scene inside came into view.
The room was about 30 square meters, without any partitions. The bedroom and living room were separated by a curtain, which was now hanging on the floor, revealing the entire room.
Two unconscious men were lying by the door and in the corner, and a little girl of about ten years old was lying on the ground. She was crying, but she seemed to have suffered serious injuries and could not move.
On the bed, a girl in her early twenties was struggling. A man was holding down her legs and one hand, while another man was covering her mouth to prevent her from making a sound.
The girl could only move one hand. She struggled and hit the man, but she was too weak to budge him at all.
At this moment, the four people who were still conscious inside the room stopped what they were doing and looked at Shan Ran at the door.
The two men's eyes lit up, and they whistled, "Hey! An even prettier one's here! What a lucky day! Hahahaha..."
The man who had been pressing the girl's mouth against his lips stood up and walked towards Shan Ran.
With a gap in her mouth, the girl screamed at Shan Ran without hesitation, "Run! They all have superpowers!"
The injured little girl on the ground was also sobbing. She barely raised one hand, and a flower vaguely appeared in front of her. It only lasted for a second before disappearing.
The man grinned maliciously as he walked, a crocodile tail appearing behind him and a crocodile claw appearing on one of his hands.
"Little beauty, your brother's superpower is amazing. Stay with me and don't move around too much, okay?"
Shan Ran remained expressionless. As the other man entered her attack range, she gripped the hilt of her sword with her backhand, drew her blade, and swung it down, severing the man's other, unmoved hand.
Everything happened in just two seconds, leaving everyone stunned.
The man never imagined he could be ambushed from such a distance.
An inch longer, an inch stronger; that's the power of a long-handled knife.
The man stared blankly at his bleeding arm, and after a moment of stunned silence, he let out a deafening scream.
Under the intense pain, his potential erupted, and the man's face transformed into that of a crocodile. His long crocodile mouth protruded forward, and he opened his mouth wide, revealing his sharp teeth, as he lunged at Shan Ran.
The mountain dye was transformed into thorns, which were then thrust into the inner jaw of the lunging crocodile.
This was the first time this person had conjured up a crocodile head, and in desperation, he used the most foolish method, exposing his most vulnerable spot.
Even if you acquire powerful superpowers, you must know how to use them properly in order to achieve the desired effect.
The sharp, cold-looking broadsword pierced right through the crocodile's head.
Shan Ran kicked the man away, and the man fell to the ground, remaining in a half-human, half-crocodile form, and stopped breathing.
The other man reacted, roared angrily, and lunged forward.
Two earthen spikes appeared out of nowhere, shooting straight at Shan Ran's eyes, very close to each other.
This is an earth-type ability user.
Shan Ran leaned back, her waist bending backward at an extremely flexible angle, the earth spikes carrying her backward and slamming into the wall.
The ground rolled, and Shan Ran quickly spun around and jumped away. A row of earthen cones appeared where she had just stood.
She braced herself with one hand on the ground, looked up at the man in front of her with bloodshot eyes, instantly calculated the distance between them, braced herself with her left hand on the ground, gripped the knife in her right hand, and used the force of her explosive upward thrust to slash diagonally upward, directly severing the man's head.
Shan Ran examined the long sword in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
It can cut through iron like mud; it is indeed a fine knife.
These two have stronger abilities than those seen on the street before, and their attack power is also very strong. If Shan Ran hadn't underestimated them and they had attacked at the same time, she might have even drawn her gun.
In the blink of an eye, the girl on the bed saw the two men who had been so arrogant just moments before become two corpses. She still couldn't react, staring blankly at Shan Ran, her lips moving a few times, but she said nothing.
"Are the two men on the ground their accomplices?"
The girl on the bed sat up and nodded.
Shan Ran stepped forward, picked up the little girl who was crying and gasping for breath on the ground, and carried her to the bedside. Then, without hesitation, she stabbed each of the two unconscious men and sent them away.
