Chapter 199 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 29
The tall, thin man stared at Shen Ci's beautiful face and figure, his eyes gleaming with lewdness, and he grinned obsequiously.
"Exactly! It's so hard for one person to take care of a child!"
Why not come with us three brothers? We'll protect you and your child, and we guarantee you'll live the high life! Hehe.
He rubbed his hands together, exchanging lewd glances with the two people next to him.
The short, stocky man also grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"That's right! We can split everything inside equally! As for you, the three of us will take turns protecting you and make sure you're satisfied!"
"How about that? This is an opportunity that others would kill for!"
Hearing these offensive words, Shen Ci was not angry at all. Instead, she gently swirled the wine glass in her hand, chuckled, and laughed with utter contempt.
"Protect me? With your abilities? You're just a bunch of trash who can't even break down my front door? And you want to divide my stuff equally?"
"You still want to touch me?"
She looked them up and down, her eyes filled with the same disdain as if they were trash.
"Who gave you your confidence? Was it Fish Leong? Or was it your combined intelligence that couldn't even form a complete brain?"
Coveting what belongs to others comes at a price.
That's what happened yesterday.
These words thoroughly enraged the three people below, and the man in sunglasses roared.
"You're asking for trouble! You're being ungrateful! Just wait until we get inside, and we'll see how we deal with you!"
I really admire these people. They can be so confident at any time. They are ordinary yet confident, much like those who can't find wives in China and keep saying they want to marry foreigners.
Shen Ci was too lazy to waste any more words with them.
She gracefully placed the wine glass on the railing beside her, then picked up the recurve bow that had been placed there beforehand. Instead of ordinary arrows, however, it was loaded with crossbow bolts fitted with specially designed tranquilizer darts.
Using bullets and poison arrows to deal with this kind of scum is a waste.
Aim, release the string!
"call out--!"
Arrows whizzed through the night sky, and an anesthetic needle pierced the thigh of the short, stocky man who had been shouting the loudest.
"ah!"
The short, stocky man screamed, clutching his thigh as a wave of intense numbness washed over him. His legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees.
"She pricked me with a needle!"
He cried out in fear, trying to pull out the anesthetic needle, but his limbs had already begun to go weak and unresponsive.
The other two were terrified by her sudden attack. The man in sunglasses and the tall, thin man scrambled to hide behind an abandoned flowerbed, staring in horror at the beautiful woman on the terrace, who held a bow and arrow and had a cold expression.
"Damn it! This woman has a bow like that!"
"How could she have something like this?!"
The two hid behind cover, only daring to curse aloud.
The tall, thin man poked half his head out, still daydreaming.
"Hey! Woman! Don't be ungrateful! It's not too late to stop now!"
It's your good fortune that two grown men like us are willing to protect you! Can you, a woman, protect so many things all by yourself?
You'll be robbed sooner or later! Partnering with us is your best choice!
The man in sunglasses also shouted.
"Exactly! We're way better than your deadbeat husband! We guarantee you'll be in heaven! This is your last chance!"
Shen Ci was so angry at their disgusting and shameless remarks that she laughed.
She shook her head. Even at a time like this, these people still have such filthy thoughts in their minds. This is the apocalypse! Have they lost their minds?
Instead of thinking about survival, you come here to make these outrageous and absurd statements. Have you lost your mind?
In this situation, it's better to just get bitten by a zombie.
Too lazy to speak, she inserted another anesthetic needle, this time laced with poison, aimed at the short, stocky man who had already collapsed and was in a daze, and without hesitation, injected him again, this time into his arm.
Seeing their companion attacked again, the two hiding behind the flower bed panicked completely.
They looked at their companion lying on the ground, unable to get up, clearly completely numb from the anesthesia, and then at the woman upstairs. It seemed like they couldn't afford to mess with her.
The man in sunglasses and the tall, thin man exchanged a glance, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes: wasn't this exactly the same as the day before? The best of the thirty-six stratagems is to flee!
"What should we do? It seems like the third brother is dying," the tall, thin man asked in a low voice, his voice trembling.
The man in sunglasses' eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Who cares what happens! The fewer people we have to share, the more we get! This woman is weird, let's retreat! Let's go back and find someone even more powerful!"
I refuse to believe I can't open this damn door!
"Yes! Yes! It's better if there's one less person to share it!"
The tall, thin man immediately chimed in.
The two reached an agreement without much hesitation, since this had happened just yesterday, with the two completely disregarding their companion on the ground, whose life was still unknown.
The man in sunglasses poked his head out from behind the flower bed and made threatening remarks towards the villa.
"You bitch! You just wait! I'm going back to get some guys! I'll get some explosives and blow this place up! Let's see how arrogant you'll be then! Don't you dare run away!"
After uttering those harsh words, the two dared not linger. They bent over and ran backward, using both hands and feet, constantly looking back along the way, fearing another injection.
They carefully protected their rear along the way, and only after running quite far did they dare to straighten up and run wildly towards their dilapidated car.
These people don't look like they would live in this area.
The trouble doesn't seem to be over anytime soon, but no matter how many people come, she's confident she can handle it.
Back in the basement, I looked into Da Bao's room. The child was still sleeping soundly. I remembered when I first brought Da Bao home, he would tremble from time to time at night and talk in his sleep.
He dreamed of Chen Juan's family abusing him, beating him, starving him and making him work. He would convulse from time to time and was also malnourished.
But now, Da Bao looks like a strong and healthy child.
The basement is indeed very soundproof. Despite the commotion outside and the door being pounded on, there wasn't a sound coming from inside the basement, and similarly, no noise from inside the basement could be heard outside.
The villa being exposed will have some impact, but not a major one.
Unless outsiders could bombard the villa with rocket launchers, there was no way they could break through the villa's defense system. Thinking this way, she felt completely at ease and continued to sleep.
The group of people who drove away were not so happy, and they kept cursing and swearing all the way.
"How about we go and bring the third brother back? What if he's just been anesthetized and isn't actually dead?"
The man in sunglasses slammed the gas pedal down!
"You're going? Are you stupid?"
If we lose them, we lose them. We don't even have any weapons on hand, how are we supposed to win?
You want to go up there and get yourself killed? He's just a coworker, how did you actually develop feelings for him?
"If we hadn't been working here when the apocalypse came, how could we have survived until now? We really don't know our own limitations!"
