Mo Shu's crippled leg was pinned by a stone, his leg rendered useless beyond repair.
He put on his signature smile and begged for mercy.
"Goddess, I was wrong. I was threatened. I'm insignificant, so I had to obey to survive. You understand, right?"
"Mmm, I understand."
Mo Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew the goddess was beautiful and kind-hearted. She'd definitely be understanding."
"I am beautiful and kind-hearted, and I do understand that when you live under someone else's roof, things aren't always smooth sailing. However, I never said I'd be understanding of you!"
An Nuan turned and kicked him in the chest.
Mo Shu's ribs immediately snapped, two of them piercing his lungs, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.
"This kick is payment for you hitting Hai Changfeng."
She grabbed Mo Shu's hair.
Luckily, he kept his hair medium-long for vanity. If it were a buzz cut, it wouldn't have been so easy to grab.
An Nuan backhanded him, his face askew.
Don't ask why she used a backhand. Just know that it felt more satisfying and powerful!
Mo Shu's mouth was filled with a coppery taste, several teeth knocked out.
Mo Shu glared at her from the side.
An Nuan sneered, "This slap is for lying to me, for betraying me!"
"You, aren't you done yet..."
"No."
An Nuan pressed a gun to his head.
"This is what you owe Luoluo!"
*Bang!*
Chang Kaitong and Hai Changfeng looked towards the second floor.
An Nuan leaped down from above.
Now, she could jump from a height of about twenty meters without issue.
Old Qing Dynasty houses weren't tall, so jumping down was easy and stress-free.
"Hai Changfeng, are you alright?"
Two cats had surrounded Hai Changfeng, rolling him into a ball.
He chuckled foolishly, "I'm fine. It's quite warm."
"Sis, something's a bit strange."
"Let's get in the car first."
An Nuan was worried about Luoluo being home alone and wanted to go back first.
The group got into the car, and Hai Changfeng had caught his breath.
He hugged the two cats and laughed, "These two cats are amazing, much more useful than I am!"
"You're pretty amazing too!"
Chang Kaitong said, "Sister Nuan, Hai Ge's skull isn't fractured, and there are no wounds. Just bleeding without wounds, can you believe it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Hai Ge was indeed hit, but the wounds have disappeared!"
An Nuan immediately braked and turned to look at Hai Changfeng in the back seat.
Hai Changfeng also found it strange.
When Mo Shu beat him, his jawbone was clearly broken, but now he could open his mouth and stick out his tongue without any problem.
Chang Kaitong wiped his face clean, and there were no wounds on his head either.
"Cut yourself."
An Nuan threw him a dagger.
Hai Changfeng didn't hesitate. He picked up the dagger and made a deep, long cut on his palm.
Blood gushed out instantly, scaring both cats to hide to the side.
Juanzi yawned: "I have to take a bath if I get dirty. I'm not doing it!"
"Holy shit!"
An Nuan cursed again.
The wound had healed!
Hai Changfeng was also stunned.
"Am I hallucinating?"
"Sister Nuan, is Hai Ge's superpower healing?"
Whether it was self-healing or healing others, An Nuan wasn't sure yet.
Because in her previous life during the apocalypse, she hadn't encountered Hai Changfeng.
It was unclear what kind of ability he would awaken or if he would even survive.
The only thing An Nuan could be certain of was that this ability was a double-edged sword.
Used well, it would be the strongest support.
Used poorly, Hai Changfeng's situation would be very dangerous.
They were like grasshoppers tied together; if one person had an accident, the others wouldn't be safe.
An Nuan had to be cautious.
An Nuan: "Let's go back to eat and rest. We'll study this ability slowly."
As they drove back, they had a vague sense of foreboding.
Opening the main door, An Nuan's pupils dilated in shock.
The house was a mess.
The kitchen was the worst hit, completely ransacked.
In a corner of the living room, one wall was covered in thorny vines, the thorns piercing two men.
An Nuan heard faint crying.
"Luoluo?"
"Xiao Nuan?"
The thorns retracted instantly, revealing a vine-egg within.
Luoluo, seeing An Nuan from inside, crawled out crying.
"Xiao Nuan! Little Brother! You're finally back!"
Seeing them, Luoluo rushed over and hugged An Nuan, crying uncontrollably.
An Nuan patted her back and took a lollipop from her spatial storage, stuffing it into her mouth to stop her crying.
Luoluo had always been like this since she was little; when she cried, she needed something sweet to stuff her mouth.
Otherwise, she would only stop when her voice was hoarse.
"Lit-little Nuan, there was a child crying terribly. When I went to check, they took advantage of me. I was wrong..."
When An Nuan renovated the house, she only wanted to enjoy some peace in her private space.
She didn't expect it to withstand the entire apocalypse.
After all, no matter how sturdy the land was built, it couldn't compare to a fortress or a base.
Moreover, as zombies grew stronger and ability users increased, they would need to find other places to live.
She just didn't expect those people to make a move so quickly.
"Where's your laser dagger?"
Luoluo cried even harder.
"That child is a wicked seed! She lured me to open the door and then pretended to be dying. When I went to get her food, she opened the door and stole my dagger!"
"Sister Luoluo, stop crying. I'll definitely help you get the dagger back!"
"Little Brother!"
Luoluo hugged her little brother and cried again.
Hai Changfeng also cursed, "Damn it, what kind of people are these now? Even children are so vicious!"
"Is viciousness determined by age? We definitely need to settle this score. Luoluo, you'll come with us."
"Me?"
Luoluo felt useless and thought she would only be a burden.
But An Nuan didn't see it that way.
"You wrapping them up with vines must mean someone threatened your safety. But you couldn't fight them, which means the other party either had more people or was more brutal."
"Later, the other party must have targeted you. Out of instinctual protection, your ability was triggered. The change ate the thorns and attacked the other party. Those two dead men are the best proof."
Luoluo had done everything unconsciously; she didn't even know there were two dead people.
Seeing the corpses on the ground now, she smiled happily.
At least she killed two robbers, no loss!
"Yes, yes! I swept them away with vines, but they were frozen, and the vines couldn't move! And there were more than ten of them!"
Chang Kaitong was the first to react, "There's an ability user among them."
"And that old woman, she knew specific details about our situation, even Xiao Tong's background, as if she had investigated."
"Did she say anything else?"
"No, just that our family only had two girls who were best friends, an adopted orphan, and two cats."
Half the internet was already down. This old hag wasn't a spy; how could she know her family's background?
The only possibility was that she was also an ability user!
