149: A powerful enemy is attacking.
Life without Si Nan was unbearably difficult; his heart was cold, the bed was cold, the room was cold, and even he, who usually had a hot body, was cold.
But he still needed to save face. In the middle of the night, when everyone else was asleep, Luo Sen stealthily ran to the window closest to Si Nan and shouted softly:
"Nan Nan? Nan Nan, you're definitely not asleep. I have nothing in my room; at least open the door and let me grab some things?"
A certain shameless man, willing to use any means to win back her heart, was now lying through his teeth. However, what followed was a full minute of silence.
Then five minutes—fifteen minutes—half an hour—Luo Sen: "..."
It's over, it's over; the legendary 'screwed' had come true. He was so angry he wanted to slap himself a few times.
Inside, Si Nan had long since fallen asleep, and she was sleeping soundly with a smile on her face. In her dream, she dreamt of the next day, where she happened to pass by a farm. There were no zombies or people, but the vegetables planted there were vibrant and fully ripe.
She brought everyone to the farm for a carpet-style harvest. It was a bumper crop—until she woke up naturally the next morning. Checking her phone, it was already past 10 AM. She stretched and lay back down to check group messages. Now that there was no electricity, many people's phones were unusable, and most groups were silent, with the last message dated four days ago.
She finished browsing in a few glances; nothing was happening. By the time she finished washing up and came out, except for the recuperating Bai Zichuan, all the other men had been taken out by Luo Sen to search for supplies.
"Did they leave early?"
Even while recuperating, Bai Zichuan wasn't idle. In front of him was a large pile of scrap nylon rope used in the construction of the villa. He was using these lengths of rope to weave a nylon net, and his son, Bai Zhuangzhuang, was a good helper.
In the stroller beside him lay his few-months-old daughter playing with toys. The little fellow was bundled up thickly, with a hot water bottle tucked beside her to keep her warm, and a blanket was carefully draped over the top of the stroller.
"Yes, before 8 AM. They left right after breakfast. The two boys were thrilled; they could finally go out and run wild. Song Yuan was also very excited; he wanted to personally scavenge some things for his unborn baby.
It's his first time being a father, so I can understand his feelings. Back then, I also wanted to get the best things in the world for my son."
Bai Zichuan, in a good mood, was quite talkative.
"Daddy is the best daddy." Bai Zhuangzhuang was a clever little boy and immediately praised his father with a sweet tongue.
"Mhm, good boy." Bai Zichuan smiled broadly, his eyes crinkling until they were almost shut.
Si Nan intentionally dampened The little fellow's spirits, "You only praise your daddy; is your mommy not a good mommy then?"
"No, Mommy is also the best mommy, and little sister is the best little sister." The little guy was very smart and reacted quickly. At his age, he should have been in kindergarten, but with the Apocalypse, no children could go to school anymore.
Destined to never receive a systematic education in his life... thinking of this, she remembered that there were many children's books in her space, all collected from that maternal and Child health store. She could give them to the little guy to read.
There would also be Song Yuan's Child in the future. It seemed that when searching for supplies, she couldn't just look for food and daily necessities. Seeing how clingy Luo Sen was to her, maybe they would have children in the future too.
But, would her and Luo Sen's Child—be a normal Child?
"Argh, my head hurts." Si Nan shook her head vigorously to drive away these impractical thoughts.
Bai Zichuan thought she hadn't slept well, "You've been working too hard lately. You should go back and sleep more, or have some breakfast first; it's being kept warm in the pot."
"I'm fine. I'll go eat something in the kitchen, and then I'll go check on Song Yuan and Ma Bufan's work from yesterday." Si Nan stood up and left, but she first went back to her room to take out the children's books and gave them to Bai Zhuangzhuang.
The little fellow was overjoyed, after which she went to the kitchen.
The pregnant Mei Xue was preparing lunch. Seeing Si Nan arrive, she hurriedly brought out her breakfast, "If you don't eat now, you'll be eating it with lunch."
"Isn't that better? Two-in-one, saves trouble. Where are Bai Rong and Xiao Wen? Don't busy yourself for me; I'll do it myself." Si Nan quickly took the breakfast. Mei Xue's belly was so big that she was afraid of any accidents.
Mei Xue said with a smile, "Them? They found a lot of old clothes and went to wrap the roots of the newly transplanted fruit trees in the orchard. The weather is too cold, and they're afraid the trees will freeze, or else we won't have any fruit to eat."
"Hahaha, how thoughtful." Si Nan smiled with satisfaction. It seemed she was the only idle person, hahaha~
She split the steamed bun, stuffed some pickles and a fried egg inside, and ate it as she walked. Once out of Mei Xue's sight, she leaned against a wall away from the surveillance cameras, took out her electric scooter, and headed to the orchard while admiring the roadside scenery.
From a distance, she saw Bai Rong and Xiao Wen bending over to wrap a fruit tree layer by layer. The tree was very large and had no leaves; she didn't know if they had all fallen off or if it was dead.
She took a look; they had already wrapped over a dozen trees. She curled her lips in satisfaction; when spring came and flowers bloomed, they would be able to eat fruit.
Just as she was feeling happy, the sound of a helicopter suddenly echoed in the sky. It definitely wasn't Luo Sen and the others returning, as the helicopters were hidden in her space. Was it a rescue team?
Si Nan suddenly became tense. The roar of the helicopter grew closer, growing larger from a single point. Its direction was exactly her Yunshu Mountain Villa!
"Not good! You two, get back quickly! Take Bai Zichuan and the others to hide in the Surveillance room. Lock the three doors of the Surveillance room and don't come out no matter what happens. Leave the rest to me."
Si Nan's shout brought Xiao Wen and Mei Xue over. She gave them the electric scooter and ran back alongside it.
"Sister Nan, do you think the people in the helicopter are coming for us?" Xiao Wen grew worried seeing Si Nan's face as if a great disaster were approaching.
Bai Rong was even more frightened, "Quick, quick, quick! My husband and children are in the courtyard. I trust Sister Nan's judgment."
"I'm 80% certain. The only thing of value in this area is this villa worth three billion; many wealthy people know about it and want it." Si Nan's expression was grave as she looked back at the approaching helicopter while running.
On this side, Bai Zichuan also sensed something unusual. He quickly stood up and ran toward the Surveillance room with his son and daughter. Only there could they check if it was friend or foe, and all the manual mechanism switches were there.
After getting off the scooter, Bai Rong and Xiao Wen rushed into the Surveillance room. Si Nan went to the kitchen to find Mei Xue, who was peeling potatoes and still knew nothing.
"Quick, come with me." Si Nan grabbed her arm and was about to rush out to send her to the safety of the Surveillance room, but it was too late. The helicopter had already landed, the cabin door opened, and the people who stepped out were fully armed, holding M-style machine guns.
A strong enemy!
"Shh." Si Nan signaled Mei Xue to keep quiet and led her into the Large warehouse inside, shutting her in a Large stainless steel cabinet. "No matter what happens, don't come out or make a sound. Coming out will only hold me back."
