45: Hand it over, or I'll bury you all here!

Before Meng Suisui finished speaking, Meng Anzhi ran over in a panic, followed by a group of men hiding in the parking lot.

These men all held iron rods in their hands, and some even clutched gleaming knives.

Bai Wanning saw the group of men, her eyes suddenly turning cold, and she looked at Meng Anzhi, who froze and lowered her head in guilt.

It wasn't her fault; these men suddenly cornered her against the wall, demanding money. When she said she had none, they threatened to kill her.

It was only when she told them her cousin had bought many good things that those people temporarily let her go, on the condition that she hand over her cousin's belongings.

Why was this woman looking at her like that? She was just trying to save her own life.

Bai Wanning gave her a cold glance, then withdrew her gaze, her expression growing even colder. Very well, the Apocalypse had just begun, and humanity had already bared its fangs.

"Beauties, put down what's in your hands and run quickly. We only want food."

Meng Qibao saw someone coming to snatch supplies and immediately turned to glare at Meng Anzhi, sharply shouting, "Are you an idiot? You don't know how to hide when something like this happens? You even brought people to rob us? Are you out of your mind?!"

"She's not stupid at all." Bai Wanning directly threw out the shopping bag in Meng Qibao's hand. She knew this person was timid and afraid of trouble, and would never dare to confront people head-on.

So, she simply treated him as a usable laborer.

As she spoke, she glanced at Meng Anzhi, whose face was as pale as paper, and sneered, "To say she's foolish, she's actually quite cunning."

Meng Suisui wasn't stupid; she immediately understood the meaning behind Bai Wanning's words. Her expression changed, and she turned to look at Meng Anzhi, a hint of wariness entering her eyes.

Meng Anzhi felt guilty under Meng Suisui's gaze, but she knew this wasn't the time to fall out. Her parents were abroad, and she was still in school; she usually relied on the Meng siblings' care.

So, she suppressed her guilt, feigned anger, and said to Meng Suisui, "Sister Suisui, do you really think I'm that kind of person? She's clearly trying to sow discord! Don't you know what kind of person your sister is?"

"We know it well, which is why we're suspicious," Meng Qibao mumbled. Although he relied on his sister, he would never do anything to harm her.

"You..."

"Enough!" The leading thug sneered as he scanned the Meng siblings and Bai Wanning, then raised the machete in his hand and threatened coldly, "You'd best not waste time. Drop your things and run, or else..."

He drew the knife across his throat, making a slashing motion that made the Meng siblings' faces turn pale and their hearts fill with dread.

This place was already remote, and it was pouring rain, and the goods were almost gone. If someone was willing to step forward righteously, that would be a miracle. Moreover, at a time like this, it was good enough if no one took advantage of the chaos.

Meng Suisui looked at Bai Wanning, who was stuffing all the items into Meng Qibao's hands, and whispered, "Miss Wanning, you should escape quickly. I have a taser in my bag; I... I can hold them off and buy you time to call the police."

She worried that Bai Wanning would be provoked by these thugs, especially since her reputation had been maliciously slandered just a few days ago.

And the way these men looked at Bai Wanning clearly suggested ill intentions.

Although Meng Suisui was scared, looking at Bai Wanning's slender arms, she forced herself to endure the fear.

After all, she was older than Bai Wanning, and her physical strength was greater than hers. She could at least hold on for a few minutes, or even a few seconds.

Meng Anzhi was very displeased with her cousin's decision.

Although she was startled by these suddenly appearing thugs, a selfish and cruel thought emerged in her heart... She hoped these thugs would ruin Bai Wanning.

After all, it was this woman who put her idol in prison, yet she herself remained at large, without any guilt. Such a person deserved it!

Bai Wanning, however, had no idea what Meng Anzhi was plotting at this moment. If she knew, she would probably have buried this woman underground long ago.

That way, she wouldn't pose a threat to the child in her womb.

Unfortunately, she didn't know.

"Police?" Bai Wanning sneered. She didn't believe that in this tumultuous Y City, with Mutated Rats running rampant, the police would have time to deal with such matters.

Meng Suisui was about to pull out her taser when she saw Bai Wanning had already charged forward without hesitation, directly confronting the thugs wielding weapons.

Her figure was swift, like a flashing shadow.

Bai Wanning pulled a set of brass knuckles from her "pocket" and smashed a punch fiercely into the face of the thug leader.

Her attack was swift and vicious, hitting its mark cleanly and efficiently.

With just one punch, the man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and two teeth flew out of his mouth.

"Boss!"

"Brother!"

Seeing their boss get hit, the subordinates' eyes turned red, and they roared as they rushed forward, trying to gang up on Bai Wanning, but she gave them no chance. Her figure flashed, and she instantly kicked over several people who got close.

She lightly tapped her toe on the ground, and a sharp dagger popped out from the heel of each shoe. With a graceful spinning kick, she hit the shoulder of a man charging at her with a dagger.

"Ah ah ah!"

"You bitch!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

The thugs cursed and desperately lunged at Bai Wanning, trying to subdue her and force her to kneel and call them "daddy."

However... reality was cruel.

This seemingly frail woman possessed astonishing strength. She took them down one by one, with a single move for each.

The thugs' screams gradually weakened, and one by one they fell to the ground, leaving only painful groans.

"Holy crap..." Meng Qibao stared at Bai Wanning, completely dumbfounded, his eyes filled with adoration. He secretly vowed that if he ever looked for a woman in the future, he would find someone like Bai Wanning!

Someone who could protect herself!

Even Meng Suisui was shocked by Bai Wanning's decisive actions.

She never expected that such a seemingly delicate woman could beat a group of thugs into submission in just a few minutes.

She couldn't help but rub her eyes, thinking she had seen wrong.

But the truth was before her eyes... all the thugs were lying on the ground, while Bai Wanning stood ramrod straight, her expression indifferent, one foot planted on the head of the leader.

The next second, Meng Suisui heard Bai Wanning threaten the thug leader in a cold tone, "If you don't want me to smash your head in, hand over everything you stole from the supermarket."

Her gaze fell on the gold rings they wore on their hands, and a sly smile slowly curved on her lips, "Also, hand over all those expensive trinkets you have on you, otherwise, I'll bury you all here."
