Chapter 43: Angry Su Yun’s Path to Death.

The two men had been too scared to shout at the rioters, but when facing a police officer they found courage and even tried to bully Su Yun into serving them.

You might not dare provoke the bad guys, but you could always push around the good.

Because the good would never shoot back at you.

Su Yun’s expression instantly turned cold.

After living through this apocalypse, her personality had already changed significantly.

Especially after she had chosen to sacrifice herself to save Zhou Wan’er and the others and then was rescued by Shen Yi, her mindset shifted even more dramatically.

She had already given too much of herself!

Since the first day of the apocalypse, she had been rescuing suffering civilians, and in these past few days she had saved well over a hundred people.

But what about herself?

She hadn’t eaten her fill, she had no water to drink, and several times she had nearly been eaten by monsters.

The more she thought about it, the more miserable Su Yun felt.

She no longer wanted to care about any damn duty.

And she certainly didn’t want to sacrifice herself over a sense of responsibility.

She had sacrificed enough already!

She even had a family now, and she did not want to die!!

Su Yun had grown up in an orphanage without parents or relatives and had always been alone.

She had never felt a sense of security or someone to rely on.

This was also why she had always been unwilling to seek a boyfriend.

She feared that after finally finding someone, they would break up for some reason.

She couldn’t bear the pain that separation would bring.

It seemed better to never be together in the first place than to suffer a breakup.

If it weren’t for the apocalypse, it would have been nearly impossible for Shen Yi to pursue a woman like her, let alone win her over within an hour or two of meeting.

But although Su Yun appeared cold, she was warm-hearted inside, and once she decided someone was family, she would never harm them.

Otherwise, with Su Yun’s strong sense of duty, how could she have reacted so calmly upon learning that Shen Yi had killed someone?

If it had been the old Su Yun, she would have arrested Shen Yi without hesitation!

Yet clearly she didn’t do that, nor did she ask Shen Yi why he had killed.

Only after the two men explained that those on the first floor had been unforgivable rioters did she finally relax, even feeling like planting a big kiss on Shen Yi.

Because he hadn’t slaughtered innocents, she realized that even if it went against her own sense of justice, she had been right.

Her man was not a villain!

Even if his methods were ruthless, he had only killed those who deserved it!

Based on all that, when Su Yun heard the two men morally blackmailing her, she immediately raised her gun, aimed at their heads, and commanded coldly, “Shut up!”

“You’re right, I’m dating him, he’s my man, and I have to protect him, so what!?”

“And as for taxpayers’ money, I earned my salary myself… what does that have to do with you?”

“If you dare say one more word, don’t blame me for shooting!”

Su Yun was no innocent little white flower.

With her full aura unleashed, the two men trembled all over.

Only when the gun barrel pressed against their heads did they realize that the policewoman before them was not the hard-working rookie she had been before the apocalypse.

If they dared talk back again, she might really pull the trigger!

Though they felt stifled and furious, the two men no longer dared to morally blackmail her.

“I-I understand! We’ll leave right now!”

The bespectacled man said, quickly pulling his companion away.

Su Yun snorted coldly and didn’t bother arguing.

She had only been scaring those two men.

Although it left her annoyed, her basic moral sense still stopped Su Yun from killing ordinary people who weren’t truly evil.

Su Yun was still too innocent in that respect.

In Shen Yi’s eyes, the aura on those two men had grown noticeably darker, and though they had fled in fear, the seeds of resentment had already been sown.

That was the path to death.

“When did they even become a couple?”

Zhou Wan’er looked at Su Yun and Shen Yi warily.

Hadn’t the two of them just met a few hours ago? How were they already dating?

Moreover, wasn’t Shen Yi here to see me?

How did he end up with the policewoman, then??

Unexplainably, she felt uneasy.

As if she had been cheated on.

At that moment, Shen Yi also knocked on the door.

Xu Wanting was the one who opened it.

“Honey, you’re back!”

“Honey?”

Hearing that name, Su Yun froze, her expression instantly awkward.

She had just declared that Shen Yi was her man, yet a beautiful woman was calling him “Honey.” (TL: This can also be Husband, but some contexts earlier forbid it, so I’m sticking to this for the term)

This was so embarrassing.

Even though she had known about Shen Yi’s other relationships and had prepared herself, it still felt awkward to meet them.

She had no idea who was cheating on whom…

But Xu Wanting didn’t care what the three women outside thought; she placed a slipper by Shen Yi’s feet to help him change shoes.

Her gentle graciousness and devoted wife-mother demeanor were on full display.

She knew that jealousy was pointless, so she focused on showing her own virtues rather than arguing with the newcomers, which would only make her look bad.

Xu Wanting’s approach was indeed effective.

Her generosity made Su Yun feel even more self-conscious.

For a moment, she felt like a rat in a gutter…

Here she was, the third woman, following Shen Yi to his home.

And before arriving, she had sworn she wouldn’t show weakness upon meeting Shen Yi’s other partners.

If they insulted her or objected to her relationship with Shen Yi, she intended to fight back and not back down.

Su Yun had concocted many scenarios in her head, yet to her surprise, Xu Wanting hadn’t made things difficult at all and hadn’t even looked at her with hostility.

It turned out she had overthought everything.

Zhou Wan’er also felt embarrassed.

However, since she hadn’t done anything with Shen Yi, she wasn’t nearly as awkward.

“You ladies go on in first. I need to handle something,” Shen Yi said, then used teleportation to descend.

He was going to deal with those two guys.

Anyone who dared covet his home and harbor such hostility would not be spared!

“Every sister, please come in. Don’t be so formal… make yourselves at home.”

After Shen Yi left, Xu Wanting continued to graciously invite the three women inside.

Even Shen Yi himself would be surprised by how gentle and welcoming she was!

In just these few days, Xu Wanting had transformed from an arrogant heiress jealous of rivals into a gracious wife!

“Thank you…”

Although the three… Su Yun and the others… felt awkward, they changed shoes and entered the room.

As soon as they stepped in, they saw two beautiful women on the sofa eating fruit and playing with their phones.

No, it was actually three women, each clean and spotless, without a speck of dust on their clothes or faces!

Their appearance hardly resembled people enduring the apocalypse.

In contrast, Su Yun and the other two women had lacked water for so long that they hadn’t washed their faces or hands in ages, and after being chased by lizards and falling, they were filthy.

Their hair stuck together.

Like three peasant girls entering a city mansion, an overwhelming sense of inferiority rose in them.

“Ladies, please take a shower first… Honey prefers cleanliness.”

Jiang Nanyan sized them up for a moment before speaking.

Hearing “Honey,” Zhou Wan’er and the long-haired woman were stunned.

That beautiful woman was also one of Shen Yi’s partners!

Could the other mature woman on the sofa also be one…?

In other words, this room was full of Shen Yi’s women!?

He actually had so many women!!

And he even provided so well for the three of them…

To be honest, besides shock, Zhou Wan’er felt more envy than anything.

She envied this worry-free life… no shortage of food or drink and the luxury of staying clean!

“Shower? How much water would that take?”

Su Yun frowned… this was such a waste of water!

Even if Shen Yi had superpowers, gathering supplies was dangerous.

They needed to conserve whenever possible.

“It’s fine… there’s plenty of bottled water in the bathroom. Just go wash, and if it runs out I’ll tell Honey to get more,” Jiang Nanyan said calmly.

As the first arrival, she naturally needed to assert her position as the primary wife.

She couldn’t allow herself to be overshadowed or looked down on by later arrivals.

“Bathe with bottled water??”

All three of Su Yun’s party looked utterly incredulous.

This was such an outrageous waste!

Even if they had mountains of bottled water, this level of waste was unsustainable!!

Despite their shock, the women followed Xu Wanting’s guidance and went to the bathroom to clean up.

As women, they of course loved being clean and wanted to shower every day.

But with water so scarce… barely enough to drink… who would dare use it for bathing?

Only when they entered the bathroom and saw shelves piled high with bottled water did they stop in astonishment.

So much!!

Had Shen Yi cleared out the bottled water supply from some major supermarket??

No wonder the woman invited them to bathe with bottled water… there was no risk of it running out in the short term!

“This bottled water… should, should we be drinking it?” the long-haired girl asked tentatively.

However, Zhou Wan’er had already opened a bottle and was gulping it down.
