212: The enemy is at the gates.

Little did he know, this would be the last time he indulged in lust in this world.

Nearby, Jian Bing intercepted Yin Piao, "Come on, let's spar."

Si Nan had already taken action, "A dead man still lusting? Then take your lustful heart to the King of Hell."

The military shovel swung toward Cui Zhenxiang's head. Cui Zhenxiang reacted quite quickly, actually dodging it. Si Nan curled her lips and suddenly accelerated. The next shovel landed with a "bang" from below, squarely hitting Cui Zhenxiang's lustful root.

She used full force with this shovel, causing the man's face to change drastically as he bent over, clutching his crotch and wailing. Si Nan followed up while the iron was hot, slamming another shovel onto his back. As she lifted it, the shovel tilted, and its sharp edge sliced open Cui Zhenxiang's neck, blood spraying out.

"Your skills? Impossible!" Cui Zhenxiang clutched his neck as he fell to the ground, glaring at Si Nan with furious eyes.

Si Nan looked at the blood staining the military shovel, walked over to Cui Zhenxiang, and meticulously wiped it clean. "What's impossible? Didn't you learn about me before coming to seize my Residential Area? I don't believe you haven't seen my videos. Stop pretending to be an ignorant lab rat. You can close your eyes now."

She added another shovel strike, then flicked her fingers, and the military shovel vanished into thin air, stored in her space. This scene made the dying Cui Zhenxiang widen his eyes even more.

Unfortunately, he could no longer speak, dying with his eyes wide open.

Nearby, Jian Bing had also dealt with Yin Piao and interrogated him about which Residential Area they came from. Turning around, he suddenly shouted angrily, "Apprentice, be careful!"

"Roar!" A zombie charged from behind Si Nan.

"Hmm?" Si Nan dodged away from the spot, raised her gun, and shot the zombie in the head. Two more were running over from not far away.

"Bang bang~" The master and Apprentice each took one shot, dealing with them. Si Nan put on gloves and dug out three crystal cores.

"Ah, not good, hurry into the Residential Area. How are there still so many zombies? They must be hiding in the houses." Jian Bing was guarding Si Nan when he heard sounds from around the corner. His face paled as a group of seven or eight zombies swarmed over.

"Go!" Si Nan took off running.

Gu Jie had already opened the South Gate, waiting for her. "The zombies exposed outside were cleared by the Strong Acid Rain, but there are still many zombies inside the houses. We still can't let our guard down."

"Mm, pass it down: as before, don't leave the Residential Area." Si Nan nodded.

Director Lin looked behind Si Nan and surprisingly didn't see the conjoined twin Luo Sen. He was shocked, "Huh? Brother Sen didn't come back with Sister Nan? He took the helicopter."

Mentioning Luo Sen, Si Nan quickly informed them, "Barrier City C is in trouble. A Beast Tide is coming, with creatures flying in the sky and running on the ground. You can check the official website. We also need to prepare early, strengthen patrols and defenses."

"Good heavens, our enemies keep coming, getting stronger and stronger." Everyone's faces turned grim as they quickly opened their phones. Fortunately, Sister Nan had given them satellite phones; otherwise, they'd be blind, knowing nothing.

Soon, they found the warning video released by The Authorities. The scene made everyone's legs go weak. An Eagle, after turning into a zombie, circled in the sky with a volume almost as large as a small hill. Machine Gun fire couldn't kill it.

If such fierce firepower could hardly kill these Zombie Beasts, what about them? It would be like waiting to die. No, they had survived with great difficulty and couldn't just sit and wait.

From their expressions, Si Nan already knew. She specifically instructed them, "After the acid rain, don't open the Sky Curtain either. At least it can prevent attacks from flying birds, beasts, and zombies from the air."

"The last resort is to avoid going out as much as possible. The Authorities are already accelerating the elimination of zombies and Zombie Beasts, but the globe is too big; it takes time. Moreover, zombies and Zombie Beasts increase daily, and this time span will last at least several years."

"Alright, when searching for supplies, we also gathered some Entertainment Facilities. Find a house with a larger area, and I'll set up a Recreational Space for everyone to pass the time."

"Yay, thank you, Sister Nan!" Everyone was overjoyed. They were almost going crazy from boredom, with nothing but practicing martial arts and idle chatter, which was extremely dull.

They got right to work.

Si Nan went back to load things for them with a Large Truck, while The Three Building Owners and others went to prepare the house. They chose a three-story Standalone Villa.

Two hours later, a huge entertainment venue was set up. Inside, there were Badminton Rooms, Table Tennis Rooms, a Gym, Chess and Go Rooms, a Yoga Room, and more—everything was available.

The Youths eagerly started playing.

Si Nan reminded them, "Play is play, but don't forget the important tasks."

"Understood!" Each stood at attention and nodded.

Si Nan smiled and left. She felt the children couldn't relax around her. Without the roars of zombies or the hustle and bustle of traffic, the world was unusually quiet.

She deliberately took a stroll, inspecting the Residential Area. All cultivable land hadn't been corroded by the Strong Acid Rain. Small ditches around still held leftover Strong Acid Rain that hadn't fully drained. She squatted down to look—the pale yellow liquid could melt flesh and blood.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind her. Alert, she directly drew her saber and pointed it at the newcomer.

"It's me, it's me, Sister Nan." Si Nan didn't recognize the newcomer.

Si Nan frowned, "Who are you?"

Mao Li still had her hands up in surrender, urgently explaining, "Sister Nan, I'm Mao Li, Mao Xin's sister."

"Oh, also Director Lin's wife, right? What do you need from me?" Si Nan sheathed the ancient saber.

Mao Li secretly sighed in relief, embarrassed, "Yes, there's something. Including me, there are six women left in the Residential Area. On behalf of the six sisters, I wanted to ask Sister Nan if you have any extra Sanitary Pads? We—we haven't had any to use for a long time."

Si Nan: "---"

She wanted to ask what they had been using for the past three months but didn't voice it. Suddenly, she laughed, "Hahaha, my mistake, I forgot about this. Come on, follow me to get some."

"Ah, ah, thank you, Sister Nan." Mao Li sighed in relief. She thought Si Nan, as their big sister, would be hard to talk to, but she was unexpectedly approachable. She had overthought it; no wonder Director Lin said Sister Nan wasn't like that.

Mao Li happily followed behind Si Nan like a little girl. The two chatted cheerfully along the way. Upon arriving home, Si Nan gave her three large boxes.

She had specifically collected a lot of these during supply searches, taking whatever came her way, and had also stockpiled many before the Apocalypse.

"Thank you, Sister Nan, thank you, Sister Nan." Mao Li was overjoyed looking at the three large boxes, Incredibly excited. These things that could be bought casually before the Apocalypse had become luxuries afterward, so rare.

Si Nan suddenly remembered she hadn't given any to Yunshu Mountain Villa either. She shook her head with a bitter smile. Importantly, those women hadn't asked her either, probably thinking she didn't have any. Next time she went, she'd definitely leave more.

As she thought this, her phone's monitoring system emitted a piercing alarm, and simultaneously, Gu Jie called: "It's bad, Sister Nan. The enemy is at the gates; we're surrounded."
