Five or six kilometers away from the seaside is where Tang Family Villa is located, but in reality, it’s more appropriately described as an estate. 

Built against the mountain, with guards stationed everywhere and a security guard every five steps, the air is filled with the smell of money burning. 

The estate is vast and heavily guarded everywhere. Passing through the security gates is necessary after parking the car. Carrying weapons will be detected by the scanners, and weapons are strictly prohibited inside. 

Jiang Ning, who was holding a mini car fridge in her arms, said, “…” 

Entering the living room, a middle-aged man in casual clothes was anxiously waiting. Medical staff immediately approached them. “Has the vaccine arrived?” 

Inside the fridge was a vial of vaccine. 

After confirming everything, the medical staff nodded to the middle-aged man. 

The middle-aged man turned to Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen and said, “I’m counting on you. As long as there are no issues after my father receives the injection, I’ll hand over the yacht to you in three days.” 

“Three days?” Jiang Ning was cautious. “Mr. Tang, our errand fee is one thing, but it’s not easy for us to explain if you delay the yacht for three days.” 

Mr. Tang pondered for a moment and instructed his secretary. 

Shortly after, the secretary came back with a delicate jewelry box containing a dazzling gemstone necklace the Star of the Ocean. 

“This necklace is from my collection. I bought this for 120 million. You can hold it as collateral.” 

Before the apocalypse, this necklace would have caused a sensation, but its value now is far less than that of a yacht. 

At this point, since they were on someone else’s turf, Jiang Ning didn’t insist further and accepted the necklace. “Then I’ll trust Mr. Tang this time. We’ll come for the yacht in three days.” 

This gemstone is definitely the space favorite, and it is worth it. 

The medical staff entered the room to vaccinate the old man. After observing for half an hour without any adverse reactions, Jiang Ning and others were allowed to leave. 

Coming out of the Tang Family Villa, Qin Chuan worried that the two might overthink. He reassured, “Don’t worry, Mr. Tang’s family is wealthy and won’t have any other intentions for a tetanus vaccine.” 

Jiang Ning wasn’t worried. Even if they didn’t get the yacht, this trip was still profitable. 

Driving back to the villa area, they found people lurking on the roadside again. 

Ignoring them, they returned home to continue cooking and stocking up on supplies. 

Doudou wanted to eat buns, so Jiang Ning took out the dough mixer, kneaded the dough, let it rise, and started preparing various fillings. 

In the early morning, Huo Yishen drove the water tanker, while Jiang Ning drove the old seven-seater to go for the transaction. 

After exchanging 500 hundred kilograms of dry goods and filling the entire car, the two drove back. 

It was only five o’clock at that time—almost dawn—with a faint light on the sea. 

Turning a corner on the seaside road, Huo Yishen slowed down. 

There were large rocks scattered all over the road. 

Without night vision goggles, the car would inevitably flip if it hit them. 

The car came to a steady stop, and the two didn’t get out and just sat there quietly. 

After about ten minutes, the other side couldn’t bear it anymore and slowly emerged from the other end of the road. 

One, two… 

There were more than thirty people, old and young. Some had sticks, some had knives, their faces numb and indifferent, their eyes gleaming with greed, standing there like countless pairs of green-eyed wolves. 

Jiang Ning got out of the car, loaded his crossbow, and said coldly, “Move aside. I don’t want to kill anyone today.” 

However, no one moved aside. “We don’t want to kill either. Leave the car and goods.” 

“Does it have to be like this?” Jiang Ning looked at them. “You don’t want to compromise?” 
 

“You guys have money; what’s a carload of goods to you? If you don’t want to die, just get lost!” 

Jiang Ning remained calm. “Just because we have money, we deserve to be robbed by you?” 

The young man on the opposite side was furious, brandishing his sharp knife. “Stop the bullshit, or we’ll make you!” 

Seeing they wouldn’t back down and their intent to kill was evident, Jiang Ning didn’t hesitate. She shot an arrow, hitting directly in the heart. 

The young man didn’t die; it was the man in his fifties next to him who fell. 

He didn’t speak throughout, but Jiang Ning observed that others were looking to him for guidance. The leader couldn’t escape. 

“The village head!” someone exclaimed. “The village head is dead!” 

The other side was in an uproar, and everyone started shouting and rushing over with their weapons. 
 

Jiang Ning didn’t hide. She threw the crossbow onto the car seat. She bends down to retrieve the submachine gun from her space. She didn’t hesitate to aim it at them. “Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll send you to join him.” 

The crowd was shocked. They hadn’t expected the old car to have a submachine gun. They quickly stopped in their tracks and began to retreat. 

Jiang Ning sneered. “I may not have many bullets, but I have enough to send a lot of you to meet the King of Hell!” 

They had been so loud just now, but now they retreated quickly under the overwhelming force. 

Under the absolute pressure of force, no one dared to speak another word. 

This woman was insane. She had just been speaking calmly and kindly, but in an instant, she killed someone. 

They had only wanted to rob to fill their stomachs, and they never really intended to kill anyone, let alone be killed. 

“Stop!” 

Seeing them trying to flee, Jiang Ning coldly shouted. 

Everyone raised their hands in fear. “Don’t, don’t kill us.” 

Some were trembling with fear, and some even lost control of their bladders, far from their arrogant demeanor just now. 

Jiang Ning commanded, “Move the rocks aside and throw the body into the sea.” 

Terrified of death, they hastily moved the rocks and obediently followed instructions to toss the body into the sea. 

Then, with reluctance, anger, and a bit of resentment, they scattered like birds and beasts. 

They feared of being shot by the crazy woman if they were even a step slower. 

Jiang Ning returned to the car and stored away the weapons. 

She had no sympathy for these cowardly people. 

It was evident they resorted to robbery out of desperation, and they were inexperienced novices. 

Today, they happened to meet her and failed. But what if they met someone else? 

Once successful, their courage would grow. 

Practice makes perfect, and they would soon become true demons. 

Apart from trading, the three humans and one dog nestled in the villa, and under the scorching heat, they enjoyed the air conditioning. They sleep when tired and continue to stock up on delicacies when free. 

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Chuan came happily to their door. “Mr. Tang is fine now. You can go collect the yacht tomorrow.” 

Additionally, as a thank you for helping find the medicine, Mr. Tang sent 3000 kilograms of dry goods as a reward. 

Jiang Ning was surprised. She didn’t expect such honesty from them. 

“Qin Ge, you personally are coming here; there must be something else, right?” 

Qin Chuan paused for a moment, then chuckled. “Nothing can escape your sharp eyes.” 

Indeed, there was something else—another profitable job from Mr. Tang. 

Qin Chuan explained, “Natural disasters have no end, and the pharmaceutical factory can’t resume production. Medicine is becoming increasingly rare. 

You were able to find a tetanus vaccine at a critical time, which shows both skill and connections. Mr. Tang admires you. 

Mr. Tang’s father is getting old and has many underlying conditions. Medicine is getting harder to find. Mr. Tang wants to stock up in advance.” 

After speaking, he handed over the list of medicines. 

Jiang Ning took a look. Wow, they were all rich people’s diseases—gout, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. 

These medicines were extremely common before the apocalypse, but now they are becoming increasingly rare. 

Unfortunately, Jiang Ning didn’t stock up on these when hoarding goods, but she got some during her scavenging trips. Zhang Chao and Lu Yu prioritized giving her soon-to-expire or less frequently used items, and these medicines were among them, along with what she and Huo Yishen had acquired. The quantity wasn’t small. 

Jiang Ning was ecstatic inwardly but remained as composed as ever on the surface. “Qin Ge, medicine is life-saving. Using one means saving one. I wonder what Mr. Tang will offer in exchange?”
