Seeing the thief was played to the point of being half-dead, Jiang Ning mercifully allowed him to get lost. 

If he were bitten to death, she wouldn’t take responsibility. 

Jiang Ning was really angry and punished the two dogs by not allowing them to have dinner. 

In these chaotic times, being attacked by criminals was one thing, but playing with a thief like today, even though he deserved it, what if they got used to it and started attacking ordinary people? 

Dogs should not really gather in groups since trouble is sure to follow 

Jiang Ning, being protective, dialed Rong Sanshao’s walkie-talkie and angrily said, “Come and take Ah Ben away.” 

Her own dog, Coke, was well-behaved, it must have been Ah Ben who led it astray. 

“Can’t do that, Sis. It has its own legs; I can’t tie it down.” 

“Hurry up and take it away, and I’ll owe you a meal.” 

“Hotpot?” 

“No problem!” 

He arrived in a Range Rover, striking a flamboyant pose in front of the car and whistling at the Tibetan Mastiff. 

Ah Ben was reluctant but obediently got in the car. 

Jiang Ning feigned concern, “Is your cousin’s arm better?” 

“No, it’s broken again.” 

Jiang Ning sighed, “Has Yu Tong been found?” 

Rong Sanshao glanced at her meaningfully, “Sis, you have a brother-in-law, you shouldn’t be looking at others.” 

What the heck? Jiang Ning almost choked. 

Did he forgot about his own wild partying, spending a fortune on multiple women in one night, and now he was lecturing her. 

Indeed, disasters teach people lessons. 

Jiang Ning retorted, “You must have a screw loose in your head.” 

Rong Sanshao, feeling jealous, “Otherwise, why are you asking about my cousin instead of me?” 

“Aren’t you standing here in front of me, all in one piece?” 

Disasters aside, gossip is always juicy, and she just casually asked. 

Rong Sanshao was suspicious but answered truthfully, “Yeah, Yu Tong is back.” 

It’s incredible. She was blown away by a typhoon with two broken legs, but she still managed to get pregnant and have a child. 

As for his cousin, he had his arm broken twice and insisted on bringing Yu Tong back, and then got stabbed again. 

And he acted like nothing happened, truly impressive. 

He even said Yu Tong could stab him a few more times to vent her anger. 

Rong Sanshao was shocked and decided to never fall in love or get married again; it was too terrifying! 

Really, he didn’t dare to hang out with his cousin anymore. 

Last time he was kidnapped; what if this time Yu Tong accidentally stabbed him in the kidney? 

In short, even his aunt had given up on his cousin and focused all her efforts on training her new protege. 

After dinner, Jiang Ning still felt uneasy and asked Huo Yishen to give Coke some psychological counseling, ensuring there would be no next time. 

The house across from the police station was indeed in demand and was successfully sold within a few days. 

With the property deed in hand, the three of them made a special trip to the property transaction center. 

They exchanged it for several varieties of reserved seeds, totaling over a hundred pounds, as well as two truckloads of books. 

Zhang Chao and Lu Yu’s house was on the market for half a month before it was sold. Due to being far from the city center, it depreciated slightly, but the loss wasn’t too significant. 

They sold their red Ferrari, and combined with the proceeds from the house sale, managed to pull some strings and actually got their hands on some glass. 

To build the rooftop, they even hired specialists like Sharp-mouthed monkey for help. 

The smog persisted, but people had to live. Qin Chuan found a way to get them the glass, which was then installed. 

After the reorganization brought by the eternal night and the smog, most residents of the community were nearly impoverished. In contrast, capable individuals like Qin Chuan and Zhang Chao were doing better which completely reversed their statuses. 

They were as glamorous as they once were, now as miserable as they could be. 

The temperature hit 56 degrees and lasted for half a month. 

People felt extremely uncomfortable due to the heat, but the virus seemed to gradually disappear; it was rare to hear of anyone being infected and coughing up blood anymore. 

Be it disappearance or achieving immunity, it felt like they had survived once again. 

With the virus gone, their weakened bodies gradually recovered. The three of them, along with their dog, started exercising again and occasionally took evening walks. 

While walking, a woman’s angry shouts suddenly erupted from a nearby villa, followed by sounds of fighting. 

Soon, there were frantic running footsteps. 

If it hadn’t been for Huo Yishen’s quick reaction, the person would have crashed into them. 

When he saw what was happening, he immediately covered Jiang Ning’s eyes. 

A naked man, holding a pair of red boxer shorts, ran out of the villa in a panic and quickly disappeared into the fog. 

The dog got excited upon seeing the running legs. 

Just as it was about to take off in pursuit, Huo Yishen called out, “Coke!” 

Doudou, being shorter and further away from Huo Yishen, didn’t get her eyes covered in time. 

She stared wide-eyed, shocked and confused. 

Huo Yishen didn’t know how to explain what she had seen and felt an urge to kill. 

Meanwhile, the fight inside the villa continued, with filthy curses filling the air. 

The shouting accused both the old and the young of being shameless, selling themselves for food. 

Jiang Ning quickly pulled Doudou away. 

This kind of scene was not only present but likely to become more frequent in the future. 

It might be immoral, but in the apocalypse, morality was nonexistent. To survive and find something to eat, people would forsake their dignity, let alone their bodies. 

They might have been wealthy wives or socialites before the disaster, living a life of luxury. But with the loss of their family’s main support, true hardships had begun. 

Not just for them, but for others too. 

Not all wealthy wives or socialites were pampered; some woke up early or built their fortunes from scratch. Due to the disaster, they had to rebuild their wealth. There were also good-looking older men or second-generation rich kids who chose to use their bodies to survive—Their hungry and begging for food. 

It can only be said that existence is reasonable. 

After the confrontation and the beating, the victim vented their anger in the neighborhood channel, spewing vicious and humiliating words sharper than knives. 

The countless disasters eventually pushed wealthy wives to be even more ferocious than lower-class women. 

She never mentioned her naked husband who had run away, but she cursed the mother and daughter who had shared the man and even cursed their ancestors. 

“All of you old masters and young gentlemen, any one of you with needs can go to them. The mother and daughter did a great job.” 

No one knew what the others thought; everyone pretended to be dead, and no one spoke on the channel. 

She cursed for hours, then continued the next day. 

Suddenly, a voice came over the walkie-talkie, “You idiot, is your brain in your butt? If you have the guts, castrate your man. The mother and daughter in building 26 have already slit their wrists and committed suicide. Their bodies are rotting. Have some decency.” 

After being bombarded with filthy words for two days, Rong Sanshao burst in while cursing. No one dared to contradict him. 

He wasn’t lying; the mother and daughter who got caught in the act yesterday were indeed dead. 

While walking the dog, Ah Ben smelled something wrong and found the bodies. 

No one knew when they died, but with the persistent high temperatures, the bodies had already started to rot. 

Despite being beaten black and blue, the mother and daughter had chosen their most beautiful clothes and put on makeup. 

They died peacefully, with smiles on their faces. 

Rong Sanshao thought, reaching this point and still smiling, they must have been dreaming of the prosperous times before the disaster as they were dying. 

One was still a wealthy wife, the other a socialite, with a mansion, fine wine, and no worries about food or clothing. 

This matter came to a temporary end, even though the neighborhood was filthy, everyone maintained a semblance of peace. 

Naked men running out became a common sight, but such matters were resolved behind closed doors. 

After several days the neighborhood was visited by thieves, and security issues were once again brought up…
