123: I've long been accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"Stop!" Bai Zhan rushed forward, trying to prevent the chaotic situation from escalating.

Yan Meiyu and Bai Jixuan stared at the group of people with faces full of horror. Were these people still human? They were more terrifying than beasts! Not even zombies were as vicious as them.

Bai Wanning coldly stared at the people besieging her home, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

She rolled up her sleeve, pulled out a cleaver she carried in her space pocket, and walked calmly past her family members, kicking Brother Pan, who was causing trouble, without hesitation.

She didn't even blink; with a swift motion of her hand and blade, she directly cut off the head of the man who had emboldened everyone.

"Ahhh!"

Screams of terror erupted from the crowd.

Wang Ba seized the opportunity to break free from Brother Pan's restraint, falling backward into a pool of blood. Fresh blood gushed from Brother Pan's headless corpse, quickly staining the entire floor crimson.

Yan Meiyu turned her head away, unable to watch any longer, and tightly closed her eyes.

But there was no blame in her heart. Her daughter had done nothing wrong. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, if you didn't kill, you could only wait to be killed.

The cleaver in Bai Wanning's hand didn't stop. She seemed to have entered a cold, ruthless state, the blade constantly slicing through the air, severing hands, legs, and ears reaching towards their home. The corridor quickly became a river of blood, filled with continuous screams, as if hell had descended upon the human world.

Amidst the chaos, Bai Xue quietly turned and fled back to the attic.

Bai Wanning naturally saw her, a cold sneer playing on her lips, but she didn't pursue. Dealing with these restless survivors was the most important task at hand.

These people had entered Ancient North Grand Court but didn't bother to clear out the zombies, instead relying on her daily to do all the dirty and tiring work.

Now they actually wanted to steal her supplies? If she didn't make them realize who they were, her name, Bai Wanning, would be for nothing!

Meanwhile, the Lei Family's house had already been turned upside down.

"Brother, you need to control yourself!" Lei Yan wiped away sweat, anxiously looking at her brother, who had just regained consciousness.

Lei Qian raised his still burning hands, a bewildered expression on his face: "I can't control it... What should I do?"

"Ah!"

Lei Yan raised her hand, and a gust of wind instantly extinguished the flames on his hands.

"Brother!" She couldn't help but shout. Lei Qian immediately lowered his head, pulling his hands back, not daring to move them wildly again.

"I really don't know what to do," he said, looking at his sister, his face full of helplessness. Compared to him, his sister seemed more like the backbone of their family.

Lei Yan took a deep breath, her gaze firmly fixed on her brother: "You need to learn to control the heat."

"How do I control it?"

"Close your eyes and think about what you truly want to do. This is your power; it doesn't control you, you control it."

Lei Qian nodded, slowly closing his eyes.

He wanted to see Bai Wanning. It had been a long time since he had seen her.

He knew she was heartless, perhaps she had already forgotten him... But he wanted to live to see her.

At this moment, the troublesome survivors in the corridor had been completely wiped out by Bai Wanning. Half were dead, and the remaining half were severely injured, wailing continuously.

Bai Wanning scanned those who had fled to the end of the corridor, her eyes as cold as frost: "You only dare to bully your own kind, but you don't dare to use a knife against zombies... It seems you've long been accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If that's the case, then you shouldn't live either. In this era, you simply cannot survive."

She took a step forward, sneering as she raised the cleaver in her hand: "What, not moving? No guts? Then I'll help you!"

With that, Bai Wanning suddenly charged into the crowd, the cleaver held high, radiating killing intent.

The people instantly collapsed, screaming and scattering in all directions.

Even the injured ignored their pain, desperately fleeing backward, fearing they would become the target of her wrath.

Bai Wanning looked at the panic-stricken survivors fleeing for their lives, snorted coldly, and spat on the ground.

That much courage? And they dared to scheme against her?

If they had dared to stay and fight, perhaps she would have respected them. Unfortunately, they were just cowards, only daring to shout but not truly act.

And as for the mastermind behind all this, she already knew who it was in her heart.

Chu Chuxia and Bai Qingshi said the most, but Bai Wanning knew that the one who truly incited this rebellion was Bai Xue.

She remembered in her previous life, Bai Xue had played such tricks too many times.

With a bit of charm, she could easily hook powerful men, then instigate them from behind, stirring up one "for everyone's good" riot after another.

"Stealing others' supplies is for everyone's survival."

Bai Xue always said this, gently and kindly coaxing the men. Those foolish men believed her, pitied her, and treated her like a saint.

But Bai Wanning had long seen through it; Bai Xue didn't care who lived or died at all.

She was the kind of woman who would sell her mother to survive.

Before the Apocalypse, if it hadn't been for the Bai Family's fortunate survival with the help of Old Master Huang, Bai Xue would have sold off her family members one by one.

The reason Bai Xue incited this disturbance was simply because she always wanted to live a better life than others.

She seduced the powerful figures in their circle, had an affair behind Su Hu's back, and even used Bai Wanning as bait to lure those people. Her goal was to become the behind-the-scenes controller and gain more supplies and privileges.

And she indeed succeeded.

In the period before the Huang Family came to rescue them, Bai Xue lived a life of luxury, feasting and reveling every night, like a queen, spending nights with different men, living more joyfully than anyone else, enjoying treatment akin to royalty.

The most ridiculous thing was that she never stood up during that time, yet she was always the first to scheme against others.

She used Bai Wanning and Bai Minghe, and even plotted against their parents, yet she enjoyed all the glory and praise from behind, disguised as a righteous savior goddess.

Bai Wanning snorted, suppressing the urge to immediately chop off Bai Xue's head, and lowered her gaze to pick up the heads she had severed.

The smell of blood assailed her, making her almost gag, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Clutching several heads stained with blood and hair, she headed straight for the attic, which was where the Bai Family Members were hiding.

The survivors inside the attic saw her approaching through the small window and immediately panicked, frantically pushing a large table against the door, holding it tightly shut.

Fear gripped their hearts. Bai Wanning's appearance at this moment, how could she still be human? She was the Grim Reaper walked out of hell!

She reached the door, suddenly kicked the floor open, her voice cold and clear, piercing through the entire attic: "Bai Xue! Don't always treat others as puppets! Others might be foolish, but I am not! You always cause trouble but never take responsibility; you want to be a leader, then stand out, stand in front of people, not hide behind them like a cowering turtle!"

"Don't forget, the end of the world has come, and you are still a living person! Don't live like a monster anymore! Don't bully people too much. I, Bai Wanning, owe you nothing anymore, nor do I owe your pathetic father! From the day you sold me to that investor, I had already been squeezed dry of my last bit of value!"

"You think I was worthless before the Apocalypse? Then don't come knocking on my door! I'll save my own food, live my own life, not steal from others, not abuse honest people. But what you owe me, and your 'mistress mother,' is not what I owe you!"

"If you can't even understand this small matter, I don't mind splitting open your little brain to see if you're truly stupid or utterly evil!"

As her words fell, she violently threw several bloody heads onto the doorstep with a "thud."
