Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Following behind was a silver minivan.

After glancing a few times through the rearview mirror, the corners of Liu Ruoyan's mouth twitched slightly. She slammed on the accelerator and sped forward.

The car suddenly accelerated, and the engine roared with a buzzing sound, which was quite obvious in this quiet night.

Liu Ruoyan drove at full speed all the way and soon arrived at the outskirts of the city before she stopped the car.

Liu Ruoyan got out of the car and leaned against it, waiting for the minivan to approach.

After the minivan came to a steady stop, people got out of it one after another.

These people were also wrapped up tightly, with even their faces covered by cloth, only a pair of eyes exposed.

The man in the lead took two steps forward and looked Liu Ruoyan up and down.

Because of the layer of cloth, his voice sounded a bit muffled.

"Little girl, you've got some guts!"

Discovering that they were being followed, instead of running home, she actually took the initiative to come to this desolate outskirts.

Liu Ruoyan leaned against the car body and just gave the man a glance without giving any response.

Probably feeling ignored by Liu Ruoyan, the man was extremely unhappy, and his tone became much harsher.

"I'll give you a chance. Take us to your home and hand over your money, food, drinks, and gasoline. Of course, also this car of yours.

Be sensible, and we'll let you live!"

"Brother Dao, she's a delicate little girl. How dangerous it is for her to live alone. Why don't she follow us from now on? We big guys can take good care of her!"

"Yeah, yeah! We can not only protect her but also show her some love!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several men laughed at the same time.

Listening to their words, Liu Ruoyan slowly stood up straight and picked up the Tang sword placed on the hood.

This Tang sword was 107 centimeters in total length, with a blade length of 70 centimeters, a blade width of 3.2 centimeters, a blade thickness of 0.6 centimeters, and it weighed four catties and four taels.

Silver peonies were inlaid on the ebony scabbard, and its appearance was profound and magnificent.

Just by looking at the scabbard, one could tell that it was a tool.

Liu Ruoyan took a liking to this sword, of course, not just because of its good-looking appearance, but more because of the sword itself.

Liu Ruoyan drew the sword and pointed it at the several men opposite, "Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to come at me one by one or all together?"

The man called Brother Dao, seeing Liu Ruoyan's action and hearing her words, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Don't tell me you've watched too many TV dramas and think you're a female swordsman just because you're holding a broken sword?

Since you're so ungrateful, brothers will let you understand today that you can't be a hero just by holding a broken sword!

Brothers! Get her!"

With a wave of Brother Dao's hand, several people rushed directly towards Liu Ruoyan.

Looking at the approaching men, Liu Ruoyan didn't dodge or avoid. Instead, she charged straight towards them.

Liu Ruoyan had been practicing martial arts for many years and had a solid foundation.

Coupled with struggling to survive alone in the apocalypse for ten years in her previous life, having gone through countless life-and-death situations, when she made a move again, every move was fierce, hitting the vital points directly, and each move was neither redundant nor flashy.

Brother Dao and the others were just small-time thugs. They hadn't specifically studied martial arts and couldn't compare with Liu Ruoyan at all.

Although the Tang sword in Liu Ruoyan's life was long, it was extremely flexible, and she could accurately strike Brother Dao and the others with each swing.

Although these people were wrapped up tightly, it was actually just a thin layer of cloth, which was easily cut open, and blood gushed out instantly.

After just two minutes of fighting, Brother Dao realized that Liu Ruoyan was not someone they could deal of, and immediately changed his attitude.

"We're wrong! We're wrong! Let us go! We'll definitely stay far away and never show up in front of you again."

Liu Ruoyan turned a deaf ear to Brother Dao's words.

One by one, like cutting down little kids, it was soon Brother Dao's turn.

Brother Dao looked at his brothers lying on the ground, already lifeless, and backed away continuously. His eyes looking at Liu Ruoyan were full of fear.

"You! You dare to kill people! You're a murderer!"

Liu Ruoyan sneered and didn't give him another to speak. She killed him with one stroke.

Brother Dao lay on the ground, his eyes still wide open, full of horror and disbelief.

He never expected that in this peaceful era, a seemingly frail little girl could be so fierce when she made a move.

Liu Ruoyan, holding the Tang sword, walked to the side of Brother Dao's minivan. After making sure there was no one inside, she opened the door.

Seeing that there was a dash cam in the car, she directly pulled out the memory card and threw it into her space. Then she violently removed the camera and threw it aside.

There was a bad smell in the minivan, and Liu Ruoyan wrinkled her nose in disgust.

As for the things inside, Liu Ruoyan wasn't interested in rummaging through them.

She had plenty of supplies.

Liu Ruoyan turned around and left the minivan. She casually took out a piece of cloth from her space, wiped the blood off the Tang sword, then put the sword away and drove away from the place.

From beginning to end, Liu Ruoyan didn't have much of an emotional reaction.

To Liu Ruoyan, killing these people was no different from killing a chicken.

Whether these people had followed her by chance or had been stalking her for a long time, she couldn't let them leave alive.

If she had been the least bit soft-hearted today, these people would have caused her trouble in the future.

Rather than that, it was better to get rid of the trouble once and for all now.

Having lived in the apocalypse for ten years, Liu Ruoyan was no longer soft-hearted.

When she was almost back at the community, Liu Ruoyan found a place without street lamps, parked the car and turned off the lights. She took out clothes from her space and changed into them.

The clothes she had taken off were put into a garbage bag and also put into her space.

Now there were power outages everywhere, and the surveillance cameras were useless. The place where Liu Ruoyan had just killed people was far on the outskirts of the city, in an open and deserted area with no one around.

Without surveillance, Liu Ruoyan was also certain that she hadn't left any traces.

Plus, under the current situation, she wasn't the least bit worried that she would be found.

However, these blood-stained clothes still couldn't be thrown around.

Putting them in her space made her feel more at ease than throwing them anywhere else.

Back in the underground garage of the community, Liu Ruoyan carried the supplies she had taken out from her space and walked towards the stairwell.

There were also mosquitoes in the corridor, but not as many as outside.

Liu Ruoyan walked slowly and reached the eighteenth floor ten minutes later.

Before Liu Ruoyan could open the door, the door next to her suddenly opened, and a girl poked her head out, "Did you go to buy supplies? Was the queue long? When you go next time, can you bring some for me? I'll pay you."

"No." Liu Ruoyan refused directly.

"Why not?" The girl was a bit unhappy, but then she changed her tone, "Then can you take me with you when you go next time? I know you have a car."

Liu Ruoyan didn't refuse directly this time, "Yes. The round-trip fare is four hundred yuan."

Hearing this, the girl immediately started shouting, "Why do I have to pay the fare? Don't you have to use gas when you drive there by yourself? What's wrong with taking me along? We've been neighbors for more than a year. You won't even do this small favor. How cold-blooded are you?"
