76: Force Bai Jixuan!
Her screams were quite loud at first, but the more she screamed, the harder the punches and kicks became.
Instead, whoever hit harder seemed more like the winner who would receive the reward first.
A scrawny woman slapped her hard, spat, and cursed through gritted teeth, "The louder you scream, the more you deserve to be beaten. Who cares for your kind of behavior?"
Finally, Fang Qing's voice grew hoarse, and she collapsed to the ground, her clothes disheveled, without even the strength to struggle.
At this moment, a woman who had been hitting the hardest jumped out, with a few uncleaned bloodstains on her face, and excitedly raised her hand: "Miss, I hit her the hardest! Those few kicks to her back were from me!"
Another man, unwilling to be outdone, held up his blood-stained knuckle dusters: "I also took action! Look, this tooth of hers was knocked out by me!"
"What about you?" a dark-skinned woman rushed over, "That part of her scalp, I pulled it out! See, her hair is still stuck to my hand!"
"Enough," Bai Wanning rolled her eyes and, with an impatient expression, threw out a bag containing bread, mineral water, and ham.
"You all divide it yourselves. Whoever snatches it, it's theirs."
Everyone scrambled for the supply packages, having long forgotten Fang Qing. They were like rabid dogs, tearing apart anyone who stood in their way.
Manager Ni had never dreamed it would turn out this way. He looked at Fang Qing, who was beaten black and blue, and then at the residents who turned ruthless for a few packages of supplies.
His face turned red with anger, and he glared at Bai Wanning, furiously accusing her: "How could you do this? She is your sister-in-law, your nephew's mother! How could you just stand by and watch these people beat her?"
"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have some supplies in your hand?"
"Yes," Bai Wanning nodded without hesitation.
Although Manager Ni didn't know, Bai Wanning was now one of the wealthiest people in the entire Apocalypse.
This world was already submerged by zombies. Those who could control supplies were gods who controlled life and death, so, of course, she could do whatever she wanted.
Her answer made Manager Ni even angrier. He spat on the ground and roared, "You are truly cold-blooded and heartless! I've never seen such a cruel woman in my life, without an ounce of kindness or sympathy, simply inhumane!"
Bai Wanning was too lazy to respond. She directly grabbed his collar and pulled him close to her again.
She raised the dagger in her hand, and the cold tip of the blade drew a small cut on Manager Ni's cheek.
He, who had been constantly shouting, instantly became as quiet as a quail.
"I've tolerated you for a long time. Don't even think about trying to boss me around with that bit of authority; I don't care what you say." After she finished speaking, she gave him a sharp push and flung him away.
Manager Ni stumbled a few steps, then scurried away dejectedly.
The people around also wanted to seize the opportunity to leave, but just as they were about to move, Bai Wanning suddenly called out, "Wait."
Everyone's heart tightened. They almost all thought she was about to make a move, and nervously stopped in their tracks, turning to look at her, their eyes full of vigilance.
But to everyone's surprise, Bai Wanning merely pointed at Fang Qing, who was lying on the side, and said coldly, "Drag her away, don't dirty my doorway."
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately moved nimbly to drag the person away.
Just as Bai Wanning turned to go back inside, a series of screams suddenly came from downstairs.
The sound came too suddenly, and those who had just dragged Fang Qing out immediately ran back in a panic.
"Monsters!"
"Ah, there are monsters!"
"Help!"
"Open the door and let us in, please!"
Bai Wanning ignored them and did not open the door to let them in. Instead, she closed the door behind her and immediately ran downstairs.
Bai Jixuan was stunned for a moment when he saw his sister run downstairs.
But he quickly reacted and followed her out.
He, of course, knew why those people were screaming; the zombies had arrived.
As for how these zombies found their way here, he didn't care at all.
The only thing he cared about was his sister, who had rushed downstairs despite the danger.
Just imagining her facing the zombies made him tremble all over, but he still chased after her. In this world, they had no choice.
The people upstairs saw the siblings rush downstairs but couldn't stop them. They all fled into the corridor, attempting to smash open the sealed doors, wanting to escape deeper inside.
However, at the moment they pried open a door, a high-voltage current instantly sprang open the lock, and several people were electrocuted to death on the spot.
The remaining people, seeing this, immediately fell silent, huddling in corners, praying that the man-eating monsters wouldn't discover them.
At this moment, zombies were wandering around the corridor on the third floor.
Bai Wanning watched these monsters and sneered inwardly. She knew these zombies had emerged from the room Manager Ni had arranged for the "flu" patients.
She had warned this arrogant man a long time ago that something like this would happen sooner or later. But he simply turned a deaf ear.
Watching the stiff monsters wandering in the corridor, Bai Wanning gripped her dagger tightly.
Suddenly, she noticed a zombie wearing Manager Ni's clothes slowly walking by. Although its face was twisted and rotten, it was still recognizable as him.
A cold glint flashed in Bai Wanning's eyes, and her lips curled slightly.
"It seems this guy's retribution came quickly enough." Before she finished speaking, she moved her feet and charged straight towards the nearest zombie.
Just as she smashed the zombie's head with the tip of her dagger, Bai Jixuan also arrived downstairs.
He saw his sister surrounded by a group of monsters at a glance, and his heart immediately jumped into his throat.
"Wanning!"
Bai Jixuan's legs turned to jelly from fright, but he didn't hesitate at all, rushing straight downstairs and fearlessly standing in front of his sister. He couldn't let these monsters harm her.
But the moment he rushed onto the battlefield, Bai Jixuan realized that he hadn't brought any weapons.
If he had brought weapons, he could smash the heads of these zombies.
In a moment of desperation, he ripped off the metal bracelet from his wrist and put it over his knuckles. He only hoped that the force of this punch would be strong enough to blow up the monster's head.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a warm current rapidly flow through his entire arm. He looked down and found that his entire arm had turned golden yellow!
But now was not the time to be dazed. He didn't care about anything else and directly rushed towards the zombie that was pouncing on his sister.
"Stay away from my sister!" he roared, and punched the zombie hard on the head. The impact of that punch was astonishing; the monster's head instantly burst open like a balloon.
Seeing her brother awaken his ability, Bai Wanning felt a surge of satisfaction.
Yes, she had deliberately run downstairs because she knew Bai Jixuan would definitely follow.
In her previous life, she had also awakened her ability when pushed to a dead end. In this life, she used the same method to force her brother to awaken.
She understood Bai Jixuan. As the elder brother, he had an even greater sense of responsibility than she did when she was pregnant in her previous life. Since she could awaken, Bai Jixuan's chances were even greater.
