50: The looting of supplies has already begun!

As the Bai Family Members were worrying about the current situation, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"I'll go see who it is." Wanning knew that given the circumstances, the only people who would ring her doorbell were Lei Yan and Lu Yu, so she walked to the door and opened it.

Sure enough, Lei Yan was standing outside.

"What's wrong?" Wanning asked, seeing Lei Yan looking at her with a worried expression.

Lei Yan quickly said, "Lu Yu and I went downstairs just now with our inflatable boat, preparing to get some supplies. We ran into the community's property Manager Ni downstairs."

She paused, then continued, "It seems both the first and second floors are already flooded, and those residents have nowhere to go. Manager Ni is bringing them up, hoping that the residents on the top floor will take them in."

She was silent for a moment, then added, "I heard he also brought several refugees who swam over into the building. Many people were reportedly bitten by dogs."

As soon as Lei Yan finished speaking, her brows were tightly furrowed, clearly still somewhat worried.

She then said, "If these people were just ordinary refugees, I wouldn't have specifically come to warn you, but... those people don't seem to be what we imagined. Several of them actually beat the fourth-floor residents who kindly took them in and stole their supplies!"

"Everyone is living paycheck to paycheck right now, and those people actually stole other people's saved food and water!" Lei Yan said indignantly, her voice filled with intense anger. "They even hit a woman living alone and stole the food she had hoarded! I'm absolutely furious!"

"What's even more infuriating is that Manager Ni actually thinks the victims are too petty, that everyone is suffering, and they should be understanding and let them eat their fill." Lei Yan's face was full of indignation.

Wanning's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing Lei Yan's complaints.

She wasn't surprised by Manager Ni's actions; after all, she had already heard of his "reputation" when she first moved in.

He was the kind of person who would give money to beggars on the street and lead others to do the same.

Even before the heavy rain came, Manager Ni had followed Zhao Lan, telling people to send supplies over, as if he was setting an example and acting consistently with his words.

But the problem was, Manager Ni only did it for a few days before immediately pushing the responsibility onto others, while he himself continued to enjoy the honor from his high position.

And the one who received praise was clearly him.

This morning, after those refugees rushed in, Manager Ni actually led them to the empty warehouse on the third floor, which clearly made some residents unhappy.

After all, this building was a high-end residential area; everyone paid a high price to live here, so how could they tolerate others moving in for free?

However, even after being reprimanded, Manager Ni still didn't react. Instead, he bowed his head and apologized, feeling guilty for the trouble he had caused.

He was always the one with a saintly fatherly demeanor, who liked to force others to follow in his footsteps.

Wanning pondered for a moment, then pulled out the small gun she carried with her and handed it to Lei Yan. "When you get home, lock your door tightly. Although you have double anti-theft doors, if these people really try to break in, the second anti-theft door won't stop them. Use some tools to bolt the door shut, make sure no one can open it, no matter how much they plead, don't open it."

Her words were cold and powerful, "Unless you want to starve yourself, you must be ruthless with yourself and even more ruthless with others."

"Oh, and watch out for Lu Yin."

Wanning's heart stirred, and she suddenly remembered Lu Yin, who was clearly Lu Yu's younger sister. If she wasn't mistaken, Lu Yin's personality should be somewhat similar to Manager Ni's, because she often echoed Manager Ni's comments in the group chat.

You can guard against outsiders, but what if there's a thief in your own home?

Upon hearing Wanning's words, Lei Yan's face immediately darkened.

She wasn't unhappy because of Wanning's words, but because that little girl Lu Yin was driving her crazy.

If she weren't Lu Yu's sister, she would have kicked her out of the house long ago. That girl was truly maddeningly troublesome!

"Sister Wanning, I understand!" Lei Yan said, then turned and rushed back to her top-floor apartment.

Wanning was right; if those people were allowed to break in, her family's safety would become a huge problem.

In just a few days, the Lei Family's young lady had grown so much in her thinking, actually being able to perceive danger.

"What's going on? Who is it?" Yan Meiyu heard the commotion and walked over to ask.

"The Lei Family's young lady," Wanning replied coldly. She glanced at Mother Bai and repeated what Lei Yan had just said, "It seems Manager Ni is bringing the building's residents up to the top floor for refuge because their homes are flooded. There are also a few refugees mixed in."

She told Mother Bai these details, silently observing Mother Bai's reaction.

If Mother Bai's attitude was as careless as Lu Yin's, she would have to prepare to keep her out of this conflict.

Fortunately, Mother Bai did not disappoint her.

Mother Bai frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "What exactly is going on with these people? The situation is already so bad, how could Manager Ni be so muddled as to bring in a group of people with unknown identities? What if they attack the residents and steal their supplies?"

Seeing that Mother Bai was still somewhat clear-headed, Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.

She replied softly, "It's already happened. Several residents had their supplies stolen as soon as they opened their doors."

"Oh no, that's terrible!" Mother Bai's face turned pale with fright. She turned to look at their own door and asked anxiously, "Wanning, can our door hold back those people? Should we block the door?"

Wanning's eyes flickered, and she nodded, then said to Mother Bai, "Mom, why don't we block the door? We can't be sure."

While Wanning's family finally made full preparations for the apocalypse, Bai Xue's family was in a sorry state, trapped in a helpless situation.

"Brother Minghe, hurry! Save us!" Bai Xue choked out, pleading, "Look, the prison is almost flooded, we're all going to drown! Please, please save us, otherwise we're all doomed!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but squeeze out a few tears, whispering to Bai Minghe, "I'll kneel. As long as I can get Sister Wanning's forgiveness, I'll do anything. I was too jealous and made a mistake, but I didn't kill anyone! She wouldn't just stand by and watch us die, would she?"

At that moment, Bai Xue almost wished she could chop Wanning into minced meat and drink her blood.

It was because of Wanning that her reputation was completely ruined, her family was burdened with endless debt, and even their house was taken away.

They became impoverished, lost their former status, and everyone regarded them as despicable people who sold their daughter for profit and traded favors.

Even the police avoided them!
