It wasn’t until the Maotai was moved into boxes that Jiang Ning suddenly realized, where were the antiques and ancient racks collected last night? 

After searching around, it was confirmed that they were gone. 

The maotai, diving gear, watches, and the safe were all still there, but the antique calligraphy and paintings were missing. 

Could it be that these ancient things have spirituality, causing the space to expand? 

It should be, after all, the pendant she wore was also a fine jade. 

But the antique shelf wasn’t, why did it disappear as well? 

Jiang Ning sat on the sofa, pondering the secret of space expansion, when Zhang Chao knocked on the door. 

Perhaps the hunger that he experience during the typhoon period was too deep, and now he had a great sense of crisis about food. The consumption of goods for three people was very fast. 

Waking up to see the water level rise again, he became even more certain that the apocalypse had indeed arrived. 

“Yesterday, we only searched the office building of my company. There are still two buildings next to it. Why don’t we get it as soon as possible? It’s better than taking advantage of others.” 

Originally, she wanted to fill up the apartment and space, but now that she have 150 cubic meters more. Jiang Ning suddenly became interested. There was no shortage of food, but food alone was not enough to survive in the last days 

Owning valuable possessions can lead to trouble, which can potentially accelerating one’s demise. 

Like the Tang sword and golf club she found yesterday. It can help her protect herself her when facing the cruel demons. 

If she ever fell into the water, diving equipment might save her life. 

Moreover, if she could find more spiritual objects, perhaps the space could expand further? 

Thinking about this, Jiang Ning readily agreed. 

So, Zhang Chao went to knock on the door of 1801 again. 

1801 had no objections, and everyone immediately packed up and set off. 

Despite keeping a low profile, They still attracted the attention of others, and the looks they received were quite complicated. 

Jiang Ning understood. Despite being careful, they had been discovered last night. 

But so what? They had retrieved it with their own skills. 

The water flow in the city area was relatively stable. In order to keep a low profile and save gasoline, they didn’t use the motor but paddled away. Unexpectedly, they were still being watched. 

To leave the community, they had to pass through buildings 8 and 9. Suddenly, in the muddy floodwaters, a thick rope was pulled up forcefully. 

1801 reacted quickly, using the paddle to block it, otherwise they would have been tripped over. 

If they had used the motor, both the people and the inflatable boat would have been flipped into the water. 

In the brief moment of distraction, several men suddenly jumped out from buildings 8 and 9, each holding weapons, quickly swimming towards the motorboat. 

These people were obviously up to something big. 

Jiang Ning stood up, her face darkening as she drew the Tang sword and swung it forcefully at the approaching men. 

“Ahhh!!!” 

With a piercing scream, one man’s arm was severed, and his blood stained the floodwaters red. 

Just killing one wouldn’t stop them. 

Without hesitation, Jiang Ning swung at his head… 

If it weren’t for today’s incident, she wouldn’t have realized that so many people were eyeing the 18th floor. Don’t think it’s only 8 and 9 buildings joining forces, she didn’t know how many others were lurking in the shadows, watching the spectacle. 

The 18th floor had already been marked as a fat sheep. As long as they faltered or showed fear, they would swarm up, rush to the top floor, and divide the supplies, even causing Zheng Weili and Doudou to lose their lives. 

So, there was no turning back. 

As long as you are soft hearted, you will find yourself in the abyss of eternal destruction. 

Lu Yu and Zhang Chao, despite their poor physical condition. Also came to this realization. 

This world had changed.  

It was no longer a world governed by laws but a survival of the fittest. Those sharp weapons will kill people if they are stabbed by them, and they couldn’t just sit and wait for death. 

The two of them raised their paddles, ready to smash them on the heads of those who dared to come! 

Jiang Ning continued to wield her sword, turning the water near the motorboat red. The injured men screamed and struggled but were soon washed away by the floodwaters. 

After injuring five or six of them, the remaining few were frightened and fled. 

Thinking of the tragedy of her past life, Jiang Ning’s eyes turned red, and she said coldly, “Chase them.” 

They couldn’t let them go! 

Lu Yu and Zhang Chao paddled desperately, while Huo Yishen took out a nail gun. 

His marksmanship was precise, and even though those people were struggling in the floodwaters, he still shot them one by one. 

All of them were wiped out! 

Lu Yu and Zhang Chao were panting. “Do we need to go back now?” 

“We can’t,” Jiang Ning cleaned her Tang sword. “”Going back now is showing off your timidity and telling them that Weili is not capable. If we go out again next time, they will come straight for the 18th floor.” 

Lu Yu was extremely nervous. He knew Zheng Weili could fight, but how many could she take on bare handed? 

“Jiang Ning is right; let’s go quickly and come back quickly.” 

Although he was nervous, Lu Yu gritted his teeth and paddled away. 

Once out of the city area, the motorboat started and roared towards the outskirts. 

Halfway there, they found another motorboat coming towards them. 

Jiang Ning used her binoculars and saw that it was Yang Weicong standing at the boat. Su Mengyao was also there, along with the few boys trapped on the 8th floor. 

Behind the motorboat was a rubber boat loaded with supplies, and the faces of the people on it were filled with smug smiles. 

As the two boats passed each other, Yang Weicong gave Jiang Ning a mocking smile. 

Jiang Ning didn’t care. The apocalypse would strike him down eventually. 

However, she had a vague feeling that something wasn’t right today. 

It didn’t take long for her premonition to come true. 

In less than a day, the remaining two office buildings were ransacked. 

Broken glass was everywhere, desks were overturned, and disordered footprints could be seen everywhere. 

It seems that more than one wave came to sweep away. 

Zhang Chao was annoyed, “We’re too late, there’s nothing left.” 

Jiang Ning remained calm. “That’s not necessarily true. It depends on what you want.” 

They had enough supplies to last half a year if they rationed them. By then, the floodwaters would have receded, and they would enter the extreme cold of the apocalypse. 

Even at temperatures as low as minus sixty or seventy degrees celsius, food was not the most important thing; the ability to withstand the cold was what would save lives. 

She hinted subtly, “Since we’re here, why don’t we gather some firewood to take back? We can’t waste this gasoline for nothing, can we?” 

Lu Yu was puzzled. “We don’t need firewood; we have gas.” 

“Can gas cook and dry clothes?” Zhang Chao almost knocked on his head. “The weather this year is so abnormal, who knows what it will be like in the future. Gas will run out one day; it’s always good to stock up.” 

“Right, Weili’s clothes never dry, let’s pick up some firewood to dry them when we go back.”
