The Su family followed their usual route back toward Building 10, 26th floor.
While passing around Building 6, Su Yu caught sight of a few familiar figures from the corner of her eye.
The Sharp-Tongued Woman was walking side by side with the three brothers who followed the Rich Fatty (Tu Dakuan).
Behind them, Tu Dakuan himself was holding his injured arm, looking as if every single step sent waves of pain through him.
The supplies he had just received were already in the hands of his “brothers.”
By now, daytime temperatures had risen to 54°C.
People could no longer endure going out.
The scorching daytime wind was even more terrifying than the icy winds of winter.
Only at night could people reluctantly come out to move around.
The nearest hospital to Mingyue Huafu was five kilometers away.
Even setting aside the fact that Tu Dakuan had no gasoline left to get there— even if he did make it, the hospital would be completely deserted.
While lining up earlier, Su Yu had taken a glance at his wound.
Judging from the depth and level of necrosis, it wouldn’t be long before Tu Dakuan developed a fatal infection and fever.
Soft rustling whispers drifted through the hot night.
“It’s them. We’ll follow them to their home and take all their supplies.”
The Sharp-Tongued Woman said, staring in Su Yu’s direction.
Their own supplies had run out long ago— otherwise, they wouldn’t have resorted to cutting off pieces of Tu Dakuan’s flesh to eat.
Now that she had run into Su Yu again in Mingyue Huafu, she naturally wouldn’t let this chance slip away.
They followed closely behind the Su family.
They weren’t worried about being noticed— after all, they had three grown men.
In their eyes, subduing the Su family was child’s play.
But just as Su Yu was about to enter Building 6, she suddenly turned in another direction.
In this stifling heat, even a few extra steps made sweat pour down one’s back.
Yet the Su family kept circling around, and they had to follow?!
By this point, the Sharp-Tongued Woman and the three men were already exhausted.
In contrast, Su Yu and her parents were perfectly fine.
Before heading out, they had placed cooling patches on the skin hidden under their clothing to reduce body heat.
Besides, the Su family had been exercising consistently these past days.
Even Su’s mother’s stamina had improved greatly.
What they did not expect was that Su Yu suddenly walked into Building 9.
Su Yu quickly led her parents into the stairwell.
The dark stairwell was so pitch black that they couldn’t even see the steps clearly.
“Where’d they go?”
“I just saw them climbing the stairs—how are they suddenly gone?”
“Search!”
It was only a single turn between stairwell landings, yet the Su family had vanished without a trace.
Su Yu had previously looked through all the resident information in Mingyue Huafu.
Naturally, she knew which floor and unit Tu Dakuan lived in.
At this moment, the Su family was already seated calmly on the sofa inside Tu Dakuan’s apartment.
Gunshots would be too loud in the silence of the night, so Su Yu took out three daggers from her storage space.
Since some people insisted on harboring hatred— she would simply remove the problem at its root.
“Where the hell are they?!”
Footsteps echoed through the stairwell.
They had wandered around for ages, yet still hadn’t found Su Yu.
The three shirtless men were now drenched, their pants soaked with sweat.
They started cursing loudly throughout the stairwell.
Only then did Tu Dakuan limp up behind them, clutching his wound.
“Why are you so slow?! Go open the door!”
“That’s what you get for showing off just because you had money before!”
All three vented their frustration at Tu Dakuan.
He used to look down on them because he was rich.
But now that the apocalypse had arrived, money had become useless scraps of paper.
So the three men relied on their numbers to take over Tu Dakuan’s home—and his woman.
Kicked to the floor, Tu Dakuan crawled back up.
His eyes were cold and venomous.
He knew he couldn’t defeat all three of them alone.
So he had been enduring silently these past days.
He pulled out the key from his pocket.
His hand trembled in pain as he inserted it into the lock.
“Useless trash.”
One of the men cursed at him, snatching the key away and turning it in the lock himself.
Inside, the apartment wasn’t as dark as the stairwell.
In the gray-blue moonlight, three figures sat on the living room sofa.
The dagger in Su Yu’s hand glinted faintly.
The reflected light illuminated her beautiful, dangerous eyes.
“I’ve been waiting for you.”
