Even though Jiang Ning was working and she knew that Coke was a trustworthy partner, she still didn’t fully trust the dog with her back.

From time to time, she would turn around and take precautions to prevent someone from taking advantage.

As a result, when she turned around, she saw Doudou pulling out the machete from her bag.

Uh, even Glutinous Rice Dumpling had learned to wield a knife!

She instinctively looked at Huo Yishen, “Did you teach her?”

Huo Yi Shen didn’t deny it, “Is it wrong?”

“N-no, it’s fine.”

This apocalypse forced people to grow up quickly. From typhoons to floods to extreme cold, many innocent children had indeed learned to wield knives.

Doudou couldn’t afford to lag behind.

If she did, the Reaper’s scythe would come knocking on her instead.

Hmm, it’s simple and rough, but it’s quite effective.

Cutting bamboo was quite fast, and they tied them together with ropes after sawing them into equal lengths.

Doudou volunteered to drag the bamboo back, and Huo Yishen tied a few sections for her, “Don’t call for a break halfway.”

“Big brother, I’ll drag them all the way home.”

There were many people on the mountain, and some children were dressed in tattered clothes, but they were all earnestly wielding their knives to chop firewood. She had to work harder despite her comfortable life.

Doudou was determined not to lag behind her brother.

After preparing the bamboo, Huo Yishen asked Jiang Ning, “Do you need firewood?”

There was plenty of firewood in the space, but it wasn’t easy to bring it out without attracting attention. “What about you?”

“Just a bit?”

So, they teamed up to chop down a pine tree, planning to drag it back and split it in half.

Bringing back more would be impossible.

The Zhong father and son each chopped down a pine tree. Even dragging one back was a matter of life and death. After all, they were all white-collar workers who did research in the office and weren’t used to manual labor.

Going up the mountain was already difficult, but going down was even harder.

The snow had turned into ice crumbs. If they slipped, they would roll down the mountain with the wood, and if they were unlucky, they would lose their lives.

They were cautious, helping each other, and painstakingly making their way down the mountain.

Doudu led the way with her machete, while Coke followed behind to prevent anyone from attacking them from behind. The team cooperated seamlessly.

Jiang Ning wanted to laugh but also felt heartache.

In the middle of a natural disaster, the cub was forced to become a spirit.

They reached the bottom of the mountain without incident, and Coke instinctively brought over the sled: “Come on, load it up.”

Seeing its proud and boastful demeanor, Jiang Ning really filled it up.

They put a piece of wood underneath and stacked the bamboo on top.

Since the bamboo had dried out, Jiang Ning piled her share on top as well: “Let’s go!”

Coke activated its four-wheel drive, but why couldn’t it move the sled?

It turned out that the poop scooper put a lot!

But it had boasted too much; it had to drag it back even if it had to kneel down.

Doudou dragged three sections of bamboo, pulling the rope forward.

The ice was slippery, which makes it a bit challenging but it’s still manageable.

Huo Yishen carried the firewood on his shoulders, and with his other hand, he dragged a large bundle of bamboo and walk with a straight posture.

The Zhong father and son felt ashamed of themselves. This young man was really something. He was good at everything he did!

Coke drove again, and it actually started easily?

Turning his head, he saw the poop scooper pushing from behind with all its might.

In an instant, its blood boiled, and it pushed forward with all its might.

One pulling, one pushing, they attracted various jealous and envious looks.

This dog is so good, it’s much easier to raise than children.

Looking down at the people who waste food in their own homes, they couldn’t even compare to someone else’s dog.

Fengshan was several kilometers away from the residential area. They walked and rested to conserve their energy, and they ate something on the way to fill their stomachs.

After resting for about ten minutes, they got up and continued working.

Doudou wasn’t paying attention for a moment and slipped and fell.

Huo Yishen put down his things and went forward to help his sister, while Jiang Ning in front pushed the sled with all her might.

Suddenly, the three men who were dragging firewood rushed up from behind, two with knives and one with a brick…

The man with the knife went straight for Huo Yishen, while the one with the brick charged at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was in the front, with the two of them separated by about five or six meters.

Huo Yishen realized something was wrong. Without even turning his head, he kicked the man in front of him, sending him flying.

Then, he swiftly turned around and cleanly snapped the other person’s neck.

Jiang Ning sensed the sudden attack from behind and instinctively stabbed back with her knife…

Plop, the sharp blade pierced into the assailant’s body.

At the same time, the brick came crashing down towards her forehead.

Jiang Ning quickly turned her head to dodge, swiftly stepping aside half a step.

She successfully avoided the attack, but the sound of the brick shattering rang out.

It didn’t hit Jiang Ning’s forehead since Huo Yishen blocked it with his shoulder.

His action caused her pupils to dilate.

The Zhong father and son heard the commotion and rushed over with their knives, “Are you okay?”

Huo Yishen grunted, “I’m fine.”

Jiang Ning came back to her senses, “Are you really okay?”

“I’m dressed warmly there should be no broken bones.” 

In an instant, two men were dead. The man kicked by Huo Yishen was pale with fright and quickly got up to run away. 

Not only him, but another woman not far away also ran. 

Obviously, they were a group. 

Jiang Ning chased after them, pulling out a boning knife from her bag mid-stride and forcefully threw it towards them. 

The man was wearing thick clothes, but the boning knife hit him hard, sending him flying. 

Jiang Ning caught up to him, her cold eyes fixed on him. 

The man panicked, “It’s a misunderstanding, we didn’t mean to.” 

They were just trying to rob them, but they didn’t expect their opponents to be so powerful, and they didn’t hesitate to kill. 

“If it’s not intentional, then what do you think you’re doing.” 

“Miss, I was wrong, please spare me. I have a wife and children at home, ah…” 

Jiang Ning wasn’t in the mood for his nonsense. She dispatched him with a single stroke, sending him to report to the King of Hell. 

Huh, who doesn’t have children to raise? If she dies today, what will happen to Coke! 

“Ah!” The woman saw the man being stabbed and hurried over to hold him, refusing to let go. She cursed at Jiang Ning angrily, “You beast, you kill without blinking an eye, is there no law anymore? Husband, wake up, please don’t die!” 

She cried in despair, holding onto the man’s body tightly. 

“Law?” Jiang Ning found it ridiculous, “You want to talk about the law after ambushing us?” 

“You’re not dead, not even a single hair was harmed. Is it necessary to be so ruthless and kill people?” 

“Oh, we weren’t killed by you, so it’s our fault?” 

What kind of logic is this? 

The woman wanted to continue scolding, but Jiang Ning didn’t give her the chance to chatter on. 

Since they were a couple, they should be together. 

The woman stared in disbelief and she can’t really believe that Jiang Ning really dared to kill. 

She opened her mouth wide, but only cold air rushed in, and she couldn’t say a word and her body quickly became stiff.   

The sudden incident frightened other people on the road. One middle-aged woman was dissatisfied with what she did and said, “Young lady, although it was wrong for them to ambush you, you were unharmed. Killing those who attacked you is one thing, but then she came at you without a knife. Besides, they have elderly and children. You’re being too ruthless.” 

Others remained silent but silently agreed. 

“These four are a group. Didn’t she know they were going to kill and rob?” Jiang Ning found it amusing. “If I don’t kill her today, should I wait for her to come back for revenge?” 

“Well, you shouldn’t be too harsh. Killing them all…” 

“If the knife didn’t cut into your body, of course, you wouldn’t know pain.” Jiang Ning sneered at the middle-aged woman. “I see you also have elders and children to care for. Do you love meddling so much that you want to die too? I can grant your wish!”
