30: Cui Qingqing, you will definitely not die a good death.

Suddenly, the Property Owner Group erupted. Property Owners tagged her one after another, "Owner of 108, sell me a few bags of instant noodles? My Child is crying piteously from hunger, you're a woman too..."

"Have a heart, I only want two bags of bread."

"Sell me three bags of rice."

"Give me five bags of flour."

"---"

Si Nan looked at everyone tagging her, her eyes cold. She wanted to kill Cui Qingqing right then and there. "You want to use everyone to get me killed? Cui Qingqing, I won't let you have your way."

She ignored the people tagging her. It was only the second day of the zombie outbreak; who didn't have at least a little rice or some snacks left at home? They were all crying poverty to her on purpose.

That first woman was trying to take the moral high ground to kidnap her. "Hmph, in this life, I will never be soft-hearted."

Si Nan finished her meal quickly. To welcome the upcoming 'good neighbors,' she hand-wrote a large warning, using a red colored marker to make the strokes thick. She slapped it onto the outside of the courtyard gate: Private Property, Trespassers Will Die!

This was a warning, but also a declaration of killing intent!

Seeing that she wasn't responding, the Property Owner Group was furious and began a verbal crusade: "This little brat in 108 is too much. She clearly got the news beforehand but didn't tell us; she's deliberately letting us die."

"Then what else is there to say? Let's go kill her and take her house and the stockpiled supplies. According to Cui Qingqing and other eyewitnesses, Si Nan's house is filled with good stuff."

"Furthermore, Cui Qingqing's family was extorted out of 20,000 yuan in cash by Si Nan, and she used it all to buy food. Cui Qingqing also said she doesn't know how Si Nan hooked up with Manager Xue from Property Management, getting them to compensate her with three times the amount of rice and oil for ten years."

"What? Ten years? And three times! Then... then wouldn't that be 36 bags of imported rice? My goodness, that's enough to eat for two years."

"Then what are we waiting for? As long as we take down that little brat, those 36 bags of imported rice are ours!"

"Let's do it!"

Si Nan, of course, didn't know about this because these Property Owners had started a separate group and were busily plotting to make their move at night.

But someone who had died once before was sharp. After posting the warning and returning, Si Nan immediately ran to the third floor to check all the surveillance footage. Aside from Cui Fu sharpening a kitchen knife, several other families were also calculating how to launch a forced assault on her.

Just because of one sentence from Cui Qingqing, she had become the target of public criticism.

"Cui Qingqing, you will definitely die a miserable death." Si Nan gritted her teeth, staring intently at Cui Fu's family.

In the afternoon, the Property Management called on all male Property Owners currently in residence to go downstairs and help raise the height of the walls around the community. They deployed all security personnel, who set out in a grand procession carrying large iron pliers, iron rods, and wire.

After the death of the female Property Owner who went to take out the trash that morning, no one dared to hide like a coward anymore; this concerned the lives of everyone in the community.

Therefore, the Property Owners were very cooperative. In one afternoon, they added a layer of barbed wire on top of the walls, wrapping it densely.

At the same time, the Property Management notified everyone not to go out if they had no business doing so, and even to avoid walking around within the community to prevent a repeat of the morning's incident.

This was truly a life of confinement now. Besides scrolling through live streams, watching skits, and talking nonsense in various groups, all that was left for people to talk about was food.

"What should I do? My family only has one bowl of rice and two potatoes left. The potatoes have sprouted and I can't bear to throw them away, but I can't bear to eat them either. Please, will some Property Owner sell me some food? I'll pay cash. I have elderly people and children at home."

For a long time, no one responded, as if the lively atmosphere had been killed by the conversation.

It was unclear whether that family really had no food left or if the last sentence had moved someone, but a Property Owner from Unit D replied to her: "No rice, but I have a head of Chinese cabbage. If you want it, trade a bag of salt for it."

That Property Owner was incredibly excited: "Great, I just happened to buy two bags of salt the day before yesterday. I'll go right now."

Then came: "My family needs toilet paper. One bag of instant noodles for ten rolls of toilet paper. Only those willing should come trade."

"I'll trade!"

"Who has whole milk or baby formula? My Child is out of formula. I'm willing to trade a crate of instant noodles for three cans of formula or two crates of whole milk."

"I only have one can of formula and half a crate of whole milk. Trade for half a crate of instant noodles?"

"Deal!"

"Who has extra food? I'll buy at a high price, 100 yuan for one bag of instant noodles." The poster was from Unit B, 309.

When this last message appeared, the group suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Si Nan found it amusing. "At a time like this, there are still people who like money?"

She also waited quietly out of curiosity.

A minute later, someone from Unit D suddenly popped up: "Is this a robbery? Usually, a bag of instant noodles is only about 2 yuan."

The poster: "Nobody's making you buy it, damn it."

The group went silent again.

"I'll sell, but I only have 2 bags." Someone from Unit A suddenly popped up.

"Good, I'll head over right now."

Si Nan shook her head. "Stupid to the extreme. You'll regret it until you die."

Lü Tao was originally flipping through the Property Owner Group out of boredom when he suddenly saw someone selling instant noodles. He immediately tagged everyone: "I'm willing to pay 1,000 yuan. 1,000 yuan for one bag of instant noodles. Cash or WeChat transfer are both fine."

"Lü Tao? The richest and most disreputable illegitimate young master in this community?" Si Nan repeated the name; she had learned about this person while chatting with the security sister.

At that time, the security sister had even warned her not to provoke this man. He had connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world. He wasn't old, about the same age as her, but he was a particularly sinister and ruthless person. Relying on his looks and his family's wealth, he had already ruined many girls.

To this point, Si Nan still didn't know—because there were too many messages in the group, she hadn't scrolled up—she had no idea that Lü Tao already knew of her existence, was harborring ill intentions toward her in the group, and was watching her at all times.

If she knew, she definitely wouldn't be this calm. But her consistent principle was that she wouldn't actively provoke others, and others had better not provoke her, or else they would have to face her skills.

Lü Tao had no idea that what Si Nan knew wasn't just some showy martial arts. When her father was alive, he started training her at the age of three and never stopped until his death, training her like a boy to the point of exhaustion.

The excuse given later was: so she wouldn't be a victim of domestic violence after getting married, hahaha~

At dinner time, a blizzard began outside. The zombies wandering in the blizzard took on a hazy beauty, adding another layer of terrifying mystery to this apocalyptic world.

Si Nan turned down the temperature of the air conditioner's heating. She was very hot. She took out a custom-made meal of one meat and one vegetable from a star-rated hotel from her space and ate leisurely.

Just as a piece of green vegetable reached her mouth, the phone's surveillance system issued a "beep beep" warning.

"Oh? Someone's approaching." She quickly opened the surveillance feed. Inside, Cui Fu was with his son-in-law Huang Jianli outside her courtyard wall, looking around and scouting the place. However, because her wall was too high, when the two of them looked up, their faces were covered in white snow.

Si Nan marveled: "Luo Sen's company is too powerful. Enemies can't find a weakness even if they try. And this surveillance audio and video are incredibly clear, plus the wall is exceptionally high."
