72: Return trip!
And at this very moment, in the truck parked in the corner, Bai Wanning lay quietly behind a pile of goods, her expression indifferent, as if she had long anticipated all of this.
“As expected,” she smiled faintly, the coldness at the corner of her mouth carrying a hint of sarcasm.
She wasn't surprised at all.
Ever since she stepped into this warehouse, she knew this group of people wouldn’t play by the rules.
No matter how honest Old Shen used to be with Xie Yi, it would be too foolish to keep pretending to be honest now, in this state.
However, Bai Wanning didn't rush out immediately to deal with those few people; instead, she waited for them to open the window at the back of the truck before getting out of the vehicle.
She applied an invisibility talisman, calmly ascended the stairs, and found a large container full of water.
Her eyes flickered as she tried to control the water in the bucket.
Bai Wanning’s gaze was fixed on the liquid in the bucket, summoning several Water Ability tendrils as fine as needle tips, almost imperceptible to the naked eye; only with her supernatural perception could she discern their existence.
She raised her hand and flicked the tendrils into the air, quietly spreading them across the entire warehouse ceiling. With a cold sneer, she moved her fingers lightly, and the tendrils rapidly descended. Injecting a trace of energy, the originally gentle water flow instantly became as sharp as a thin blade.
“What are you waiting for?” Old Shen didn’t notice that someone had infiltrated the warehouse. He sternly ordered his subordinates, “Get the supplies out, we…”
Before he could finish, he felt countless blades cut across his skin.
“Wait… what?” Old Shen looked up, only to see his subordinates falling to the ground, covered in blood.
As for what happened, and how it happened, he had no idea!
The dripping sound of water and the screams of dying men echoed in the warehouse, scaring the guards at other platforms, who rushed into the main building.
They saw blood all over the floor and were stunned at first, but quickly reacted, raising their guns, ready to charge at the mysterious person who had infiltrated the warehouse and caused the massacre.
“Quickly drag those bastards out, they must be in cahoots with them.”
Although they couldn't understand what had happened, nor could they imagine someone silently killing so many people, they cleverly linked it to Xie Yi and Xiao Wu.
After all, why were those two unharmed, while all their subordinates, including Old Shen, were lying on the ground?
However, just as they were about to act, Bai Wanning, hidden in the shadows, had quietly approached. Seizing the opportunity, she condensed the remaining water essence into a giant water scythe and swept it across, slicing their bodies in half.
Those people didn't even have time to react before they fell into a pool of blood.
Their lower halves were still twitching, as if they hadn't realized they were separated from their upper halves, until the muscle memory completely broke, and then the legs collapsed to the ground like broken puppets.
After dealing with all this, Bai Wanning surveyed the entire warehouse, confirmed that everyone had been dealt with, and then put the extra goods into her space pocket, leaving the remaining supplies untouched in their original places.
“Come in,” Bai Wanning opened the warehouse door and waved to the two people standing outside.
Xie Yi had been waiting anxiously outside; the darker it got, the more nervous he became. Fortunately, Bai Wanning finally opened the warehouse door and called them in.
However, as soon as he entered the warehouse, Xie Yi’s entire face froze in terror; blood flowed like a river on the ground, a shocking sight!
It was terrifying!
This woman was truly a terrifying monster, having killed so many people, leaving no one alive.
Luckily, he was clever enough to curry favor with her instead of making an enemy of her.
“I’m taking the gold and antiques. Do you have any objections?” Bai Wanning asked the two men coldly.
The two quickly shook their heads repeatedly, refusing without hesitation.
Are you kidding me! How could they dare to fight her for supplies now? Anyway, gold and antiques weren't as valuable as they used to be.
What was more important than gold now were the basic necessities for daily life; only these could save their lives.
Xie Yi took Xiao Wu and Bai Wanning to clean up the warehouse. In less than three hours, all the supplies were packed and loaded onto the truck.
“These bastards died too easily,” Xiao Wu said with a sneer, looking at the neatly stacked solar panels.
Seeing this scene, how could he not understand?
Fortunately, they betrayed these bastards first, otherwise, they would be the ones lying on the ground. This group of people actually wanted to wait for them to be killed by zombies before taking these goods.
“Alright, don’t waste any more time.” Xie Yi also felt that Old Shen had gone too far, but at the same time, this incident made him thoroughly sober.
He would no longer trust others so easily as he used to.
Xie Yi took Bai Wanning to Ancient North Grand Court.
Along the way, they encountered a few zombies. Bai Wanning dealt with them swiftly and cleanly, while secretly collecting the zombie crystal cores with her supernatural power. She stored these crystal cores, and the two people beside her were completely unaware of it.
Upon reaching the residential area, Bai Wanning found that the water level had dropped once again.
She wasn't surprised, as she had experienced similar situations in her previous life.
After the tsunami, the temperature would drop rapidly, and the weather would become extremely cold. The entire world would seem to be frozen, making it impossible for people to survive outdoors.
And this extreme cold weather triggered even greater chaos.
Heavy snow froze everything, and even drinking water became a luxury. People seemed to go mad, attacking each other without any bottom line for survival and supplies.
Bai Wanning clearly remembered being trapped in the freezing outdoors, while the Bai Family Members lived safely in their warm and comfortable mansion.
They often sent her and Bai Minghe out to find supplies, even though they knew it was a deadly hell outside.
She got out of the car and said to the men assigned to receive the supplies and the other young people, “I live in that building, number 5003, top floor.”
“You just need to move these things back and leave them outside the door. I’ll have my people move them in.”
“Yes, Boss,” they immediately responded, and one by one began to move the boxes filled with supplies. Bai Wanning then entered the building.
The refugees crowded in the lobby watched Bai Wanning return, their eyes filled with envy.
