Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 133: First Time, Second Time, Familiar

The reason why he asked Bai Yang was because Xu Bo felt that his face looked strange, as if he was thinking about something but was not sure.

"This is my sister's grandmother's house."

Although Bai Yang had never seen anyone in this house since he could remember, he clearly remembered that every time he passed by here when he came to the town in the past, his sister would stop at the door, purse her lips and look at the closed door, and then leave after a while.

When he was a child, he didn't know whose house this was. He only heard about it from his father when he grew up.

"Sister-in-law's grandmother's house?"

Xu Bo was shocked, and even Li Nan was stunned. What did that mean? Are these robbers relatives of Jiang Minglang's wife?
You can't play like this.

It’s no wonder Li Nan thought this way. After all, there are so many empty houses in the town. Why would he come to this one instead of going to anyone else’s?
Is it because his house is newly renovated and looks better?

Shit!

Anyone with eyesight can see that this house is the oldest among the surrounding ones. Even a tile on the roof is obviously missing. So the fact that this group of people chose this place to stay can only mean that they are related to this family, or one of them is from this family.

But unexpectedly, Bai Yang continued, "My sister's grandmother has been gone for more than 20 years, and her uncle seems to be gone too. Anyway, no one has lived in this house since I can remember, and the house has always been empty."

In other words, all the owners of this house are dead?
Li Nan's eyes lit up. So this group of people deliberately chose a shabby house?

That was for cover. He didn't plan to stay long. He might just take a short rest after meeting up with them and then leave.

All in all, it has nothing to do with Jiang Minglang's wife.

That's enough.

He asked, "How many people are there in total?"

"Including those three, that makes twelve."

Li Nan brought eight people with him, plus Zhang Shaoda and his eleven men, twenty against twelve. There was definitely no problem with numbers, and even less with force.

He looked at Zhang Shaoda and asked, "When do we start?"

Zhang Shaoda turned around and asked Bai Yang, "Are you sure it has nothing to do with your sister-in-law?"

If this kid hadn't said that this was his sister-in-law's grandmother's house, they wouldn't have waited until now and would have taken action long ago.

But the bad thing was that Bai Yang was not sure. Not only was he not sure, he also did not allow them to go back and tell his sister-in-law.

Because Bai Yang suspected that the middle-aged woman inside was most likely his sister's biological mother.

This woman left Baiyun Town when his sister was three years old, and the mother and daughter have never seen each other since then. It is definitely impossible to say that there is affection between them. But even if there is no affection, she is still his sister's biological mother.

I’m so annoyed. Why did this damn woman come back?

Zhang Shaoda saw Bai Yang's entanglement and said simply, "After all, this is Mr. Li's business, and it has little to do with us, so Mr. Li, why don't you handle it yourself? It's up to you to do whatever you want, and we won't interfere. Is that feasible?"

Li Nan really wanted to say it was not feasible. After all, those three people had already escaped from him once. Although one of them was injured and the other two were not much better, what if the others had strength that matched theirs?

You have to know that at the beginning he was evenly matched with the young man, and the short and strong wood-type man was also not simple.

However, Li Nan is not a blind man. He can see that this group of people may really have some relationship with Jiang Minglang's wife. It would not be good if they took action directly.

You don't have to take direct action, but it's okay to watch and help from the sidelines, such as lending a hand when they are unable to defeat you.

Li Nan understood what Zhang Shaoda meant and nodded. "Okay, we'll handle it ourselves, but I'd like to trouble you brothers to keep an eye on them and don't let these bastards get away."

After saying that, Li Nan waved his hand, and the eight people dispersed to both sides of the gate. One of them stepped forward and kicked the old, paint-chipped iron gate open with one foot, and the others immediately filed in.

Zhang Shaoda and the others immediately jumped onto the walls on both sides and then squatted down.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you? You stole my things and you still have the nerve to ask who I am?"

"you."

"Stop the fucking crap and hand over our stuff!"

As soon as Li Nan finished speaking, a fireball as big as a basketball whizzed towards his face, but stopped half a meter away before reaching him. Then the fireball was wrapped by a ball of mud, went out with a puff, and then hit the ground with a bang.

At this time, Li Nan had already dodged and attacked the tall and thin man who threw a fireball at him. His speed was so fast that only a shadow was left on the spot, so that the fire element man had no time to prepare a second fireball. He left the spot and slammed into the wall behind him.

"Xiao Lin."

A scream suddenly rang out, and the only middle-aged woman in the yard ran towards the tall and thin man in panic.

Li Nan looked at the middle-aged woman and frowned. He retracted his fist and turned to look at the young man who walked out of the main room, the one who had fought with him in the middle of the night.

He sneered, "Run, keep running!"

The young man looked at Li Nan with serious eyes, then turned to look at the left and right walls of the yard. There was a row of people squatting on each side, and his face suddenly darkened.

Oh shit!

"Xiaolin? Xiaolin, wake up, don't scare your aunt. Xiaoxu, come and see your cousin."

The fight in the yard seemed to not exist to the woman. All she could see was the tall and thin man sitting against the wall with his head tilted, his eyes closed and motionless.

The man she called 'Xiao Xu' was the young man who was confronting Li Nan.

He turned his head to glance at the tall and thin man who was knocked unconscious, then turned back very quickly and said to Li Nan, "I'll give you the thing, can you let us go?"

I've been robbed so many times, and I managed to get away unscathed every time, but this time I was hit by a dog-skin plaster.

Yes, he called Li Nan a dog-skin plaster. There were obviously so many grains in the warehouse, but he only moved dozens of bags. Was it necessary to chase them relentlessly?
If it was just this guy chasing him, he could have dealt with it, but he didn't expect to encounter a group of nosy people.

What a damn bad luck!
"Let you go? Why didn't you let my dead brothers go last night?"

After killing so many of them, how dare you tell him to let them go now?

It took several months to organize and train this team, and he thought it was easy?
At this time, a young woman came out of the house. She was the young man's sister, the girl named Yingtao. Her forehead was wrapped in gauze, and her face was as white as snow.

Seeing this, the young man hurriedly shouted, "Who told you to come out? Go in!"

"Why did you let her in?" Without waiting for Cherry to speak, the middle-aged woman who was crying while hugging the tall and thin man a moment ago suddenly turned around and looked at the brother and sister. No, to be more precise, she looked at Cherry.

Her eyes were filled with anger and disgust as she said word by word, "So many of us have died because of her. How long are you going to protect her?"

After saying that, he turned around and pointed at Yingtao and said to Li Nan, "It was her idea to rob your warehouse. If you want revenge, find her, take her away, and leave here quickly."

"mom?"

The young man yelled in disbelief. Cherry, who was standing next to him, swayed and reached out to hold the door sill to steady herself. Her already pale face became even paler.

Li Nan was confused, and not only him, but also Zhang Shaoda and others who were squatting on the wall were confused.

What does this mean?
Internal strife?
That’s not right. The man calls the woman “mom”, so the girl named Yingtao is the woman’s daughter?

Aren’t they biological children?
The group of grown men began to look at the facial features of the old and the young carefully, and then they hissed in unison!

The two look at least 50% alike, especially their eyes, which are exactly the same. It would be weird if they were not mother and daughter.

But if they are mother and daughter, it is weird. After all, what mother would treat her own daughter like this?
Only Bai Yang's expression was different from everyone else's. He looked at the middle-aged woman thoughtfully. Then he turned his gaze to the young woman named Yingtao, then to the young man, and finally to the tall and thin man sitting on the ground.

For a moment, his eyes glanced around, quite busy.

Bang!
Suddenly there was a loud noise. Li Nan came to his senses from his daze and quickly dodged to the side. A pile of rubble fell where he was standing.

It turned out that the Earth Element had sneak attacked him, but was stopped by Zhang Shaoda.

Another huge rock came and broke into small pieces of dirt as it approached Li Nan.

The short man was furious and glanced at the wall. He didn't know who was stopping him, but he became even more irritated and uneasy.

"Stop, everyone stop!"

Because of the interference of Zhang Shaoda and others, the people brought by Li Nan basically suffered no losses, but the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. For a while, they only have nine people, and it is not known when they can win.

Although the other side did not seem to be afraid of them when they were fighting, they were actually very panicked. The main reason was that they could not figure out what the person squatting on the wall was doing. They should attack together, so why was he squatting there watching the fight?

What do you mean?
I was panicking, fighting with my hands, and I had to pay some attention to the wall to prevent them from making any secret moves. This way, I was inevitably hindered and suffered losses repeatedly.

So when they heard the woman shouting to stop, they quickly retreated and gathered together.

Li Nan's men also gathered around him, waiting for the next move.

The middle-aged woman looked down at her nephew who was still unconscious, then looked up at Li Nan and said coldly, "Young man, forgive him when you can. I told you, it was my daughter who came up with the idea of robbing your warehouse, and it was she who led the people to rob it. Most of your people were injured by her, so you can take her away and end this matter here. How about that?"

"no!"

Without waiting for Li Nan to speak, the young man said firmly, "Don't even think about it. I will never hand my sister over to them."

"Liu Xu!" The middle-aged woman said angrily, "Have you forgotten what your father said before? He told you to listen to me, and you dare not listen now?"

"Mom, Cherry is your daughter!"

"I don't have a daughter like her. If it weren't for her bad advice along the way, your cousin wouldn't have been injured again and again. Look at him now, his old injuries haven't healed yet, and he has new ones. If he continues to suffer like this, your cousin will die."

Liu Xu wanted to say that there were no such "bad ideas". What did you eat and drink along the way? Are you alive?

Cousin, do you still have us siblings in your heart besides you?

But in front of so many outsiders, he couldn't say these words clearly to his mother's face.

"Cherry didn't come up with any bad ideas. This was the result of our discussion."

Liu Xu stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Ying behind him, then looked at Li Nan and said coldly, "No one can take my sister away."

Li Nan:.
Damn, did he say he was going to bring someone?
Why does it make him seem like a bully who comes here specifically to rob women?
Li Nan was so angry that he laughed. If he hadn't run out of bullets and didn't want to waste the remaining ones here, he would have shot them one by one.

"Liu Xu, are you going to kill all of us for her?"

Liu Xu looked at his mother and felt that the woman in front of him was so strange, as if he had never seen her before!
why?
Is this really the biological mother who gave birth to them and raised them?
Not only did he think so, but Liu Ying, who was standing behind him with a face so pale that it was almost transparent, also thought so.

Even Bai Yang, who was squatting on the wall, was also puzzled, but his puzzlement was different from that of Liu Xu and Liu Ying. His doubts were mixed with a hint of sudden realization, as well as a clarity that no one else could understand: Why could she be so cruel? She just abandoned her own daughter like that?
What's the big deal? The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. We are used to it.

He was a little uncertain before, but now Bai Yang is 100% sure: this woman is his sister's biological mother.

Fortunately, my sister looks like my uncle and not at all like this woman.

His legs felt a little numb from squatting, so he simply sat on the wall.

Zhang Shaoda, who was sitting next to him, saw him sitting down and sat down too. After all, it was more comfortable to sit down while listening to gossip.

He had a feeling that the fight was most likely to fail.

really--
"Brother, how about this? I'll give you everything we have, and you'll let us live?"

Li Nan sneered, "We kill all of you, but won't your things still belong to us?"

"But you can't find it," Liu Xu looked at Li Nan calmly, and raised his head to glance at Zhang Shaoda and Xu Bo on the wall, then said, "I believe you have checked the surroundings before coming in. You didn't find any special vehicles, right? There is nothing in this yard or the house either."

Ok?
Liu Xu's words really aroused Li Nan's curiosity. He turned his head to look at Zhang Shaoda, who shook his head slightly at him, meaning that there was indeed nothing outside.

As for the yard and the house, if they were only used to reunite, there was no need to put anything there. So even without checking, it was almost certain that there was nothing there.

So it's hidden?

But as things have developed to this point, Li Nan no longer cares about the dozens of bags of food and supplies; what he cares about is his sense of pride!
"No, no, I don't want it anymore."

"Our stuff is much more valuable than your food. Not only does it have food, but we also have other supplies, such as gasoline and the cloth that can hide our car."

"Liu Xu!"

The middle-aged woman screamed again, "Are you crazy? That was something your father worked so hard to get!"

But Liu Xu didn't look at her this time, he just stared at Li Nan, "Are you interested? If you are interested, I'll give you everything, but you have to let us go! How about it?"

　The New Year is coming soon, but I don’t feel anything at all. How about you?
