While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Luo Ning followed the man to the entrance of a manor.

This place was probably a private estate before the apocalypse, but it has now been transformed into a new type of fortress.

But the layout of the manor remained unchanged.

The outside was coated with a silver-gray polymer material, while the inside was resplendent in gold, so dazzling that Luo Ning wanted to dig up two pillars and take them away. A five- or six-meter-tall crystal chandelier hung in mid-air.

A two-meter-tall welcoming pine tree stands beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there is also a small floating fish pond.

A black leather sofa, a tea table, and a reception room were all placed in the center.

Compared to the relatively simple single-level apartments in Luoning, it looks much more upscale.

Xiao Helin wore a black shirt with a brown vest underneath, but his tie was a dark red with a burnt finish, and he wore a sophisticated black suit on top.

With slicked-back hair, thin-soled leather shoes, legs crossed, a Xuejiao cigarette tucked between his fingers, he dramatically exhaled a puff of smoke.

That's totally the pretentious old-fashioned Qian style.

Luo Ning was dressed in a youthful, mature style, and when she got off the bus, she was also wearing a white sun hat.

Standing in the living room at this moment, I looked like a little white rabbit that had accidentally wandered into a wolf's den.

Of course, this is on the premise that you ignore the undisguised scrutiny on her face.

Xiao Helin originally wanted to make a good impression and let her see his charm as soon as she entered.

But after waiting for ages, my legs were getting sore from crossing them, and the cigar in my hand was almost burning down to my fingers.

She still didn't speak to him, even though he was a grown man sitting there.

Shouldn't she greet him when she comes in?

Luo Ning didn't say anything, acting as if she were at home.

They even went to see the fish in the fishpond, which were all ornamental koi.

If it doesn't look as delicious as hers, then the welcoming pine tree is useless.

It's the apocalypse, why are we still welcoming guests, zombies?

Such a good opportunity is better spent planting two fruit trees.

She disliked everything about this place except that it was more obviously decorated than her own home.

However, she also understands that some people just like to show off.

For example, the one in front of her, she's practically his little brother compared to him.

He walked up to Xiao Helin on his own; there was a tea table in front of him.

Luo Ning poured himself a cup of tea without any hesitation.

Xiao Helin's expression grew increasingly stiff. Should he speak now?

But she didn't speak first, so wouldn't he be at a disadvantage if he spoke first?

Luo Ning took a sip of tea and raised an eyebrow.

"The tea is good."

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Helin immediately spoke up smugly.

"Of course, this is genuine Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao tea, a top-grade and rare variety. Before the apocalypse, only 500 grams were auctioned off with great difficulty, and it was priceless."

Luo Ning nodded without much interest; the tea was good tea.

But in the apocalypse, even the most precious breed is not as good as a bite of braised pork.

Of course, this excludes people who like to show off.

For example, her, and the person in front of me.

Most of the various types of tea in Ningcheng are in her hands.

After returning from delivering the official base, I was bored.

She went to the wealthy district of Ningcheng and collected a lot of so-called high-end goods there.

She ransacked everything when we got home.

For example, she uses this Da Hong Pao tea at home to make milk tea.

So she had no idea what this person was so proud of, what was there to be proud of, it was just a little tea.

Xiao Helin grew anxious when he saw that she didn't react.

"Don't you know what's good for you? You don't know how valuable this tea is."

Luo Ning scoffed, "What gold content? Could this even buy a bag of rice in the apocalypse?"

In the apocalypse, the hard currency is food; tea is merely an icing on the cake, especially when even basic needs like food and clothing are not met.

This is just rotten tree leaves.

Xiao Helin sat back down, took a puff of his cigar, and said, "You're right, but I don't need that bag of rice."

Luo Ning sat opposite him, with 123 on her shoulders, in a more relaxed posture than Xiao Helin.

"You're right. I heard you're the joint base commander here, so you certainly don't lack that bag of rice. So, why are you spying on me?"

"Surveillance? Don't put it so harshly. I was just passing by and happened to see that conspicuous green color. I was just curious."

Xiao Helin denied spying, but what he said was the truth.

He was mostly curious about Luo Ning.

The apocalypse came suddenly, and he relied on the supplies he had accumulated before the apocalypse, along with his family's bodyguards, to quickly gather so many superhumans.

He thought his reaction time was fast enough, but one day he discovered that someone was even faster and better prepared than him.

Besides, he was also very curious about her abilities.

When Ning Cheng first saw her through the window, he wanted to get to know her.

Later, when I saw her with people from the official base, I assumed she was an official.

After I calmed down, I couldn't find her again.

He later saw her near the official base and sent someone to inquire about her there.

Only then did he realize that she wasn't from the official base, and it took him a lot of effort to find out that she lived alone.

And it was in Ningcheng, that zombie city.

His interest in her grew, and that's when he took people to where she lived.

I then discovered that she actually had a miniature fortress outside, which hadn't been damaged at all despite the strong acid rain.

There's also a small farm on the roof. I saw her sleeping soundly on the roof that day, completely unsuspecting.

His curiosity quickly turned into possessiveness; he wanted to possess her farm, to possess her.

But before he could even implement his plan, she came knocking on his door.

This made him even more interested. His base, while not surpassing the official base, was one of the best in the Ningcheng area.

And she actually dared to barge in all by herself, without even bringing that man with her.

She was momentarily unsure of her intentions.

"What a coincidence!"

Luo Ning didn't believe it was a coincidence; in the apocalypse, supplies were always snatched up and kept in one's own hands.

She didn't believe that this person wouldn't be tempted by her terrace, considering that the ever-growing supplies were a scarce commodity in the apocalypse.

Many people don't have the concept of planting yet. In a few months, when they want to plant something...

You'll find that you can't even find a normal patch of soil, so her renewable terrace is a hot commodity in the apocalypse.

Therefore, before that, she needed to establish her reputation as someone not to be trifled with, so as to prevent any fools from disturbing her retirement.

Xiao Helin was unaware of her strength and dared not offend her.

Seeing her face turn cold, he chuckled awkwardly.

"It was indeed a coincidence, but it was also a coincidence that I deliberately created."

Luo Ning's cold face froze for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that I fell in love with you at first sight in Ningcheng, and I kept inquiring about you. After finally finding out, I went to see you right away. Miss Luo, please believe me, I have no ill intentions."

Xiao Helin straightened his back; he was a man who prioritized self-interest above all else.

If I could get the supplies on her terrace, sacrificing a little bit of my looks wouldn't be a big deal.

It's impossible to find soil outside that can grow crops properly now; the place he finds most often is her terrace.

Moreover, her terrace, which had no coating, remained unscathed even under strong acid rain.

Plus, he was already somewhat interested in her, so if he could get her, it would be a worthwhile deal no matter how you looked at it.
