Li Yao ate barbecue while chatting. Each time she waited a minute or two before eating, thoughtfully letting the livestream equipment collect data.
[This smell is so good, I want to eat.]
[I knew Li Yao this stubborn girl eats so well.]
[Really, Li Yao, if you bring back a recipe book, I’ll switch from fan to hater.]
[Hmm? That’s a new idea. Li Yao, if you bring back tasty food, I’ll be your loyal fan.]
[Don’t talk anymore, the whole table looks so delicious.]
Li Yao ate slowly, but the food on the table visibly diminished. She ordered an ice-cold Coke, and one sip made her pores relax all over.
Many people came for Li Yao’s eating livestream.
[So fragrant, my drool could flood my house.]
[Li Yao eats so well, I’ve already drunk two bottles of nutrition fluid.]
[I drank three bottles, my stomach is full, but my brain says no.]
[Li Yao, please keep streaming this, I love watching it.]
[Even tasteless nutrition fluid tastes good now.]
She ate oysters dipped in the restaurant’s secret garlic sauce. Her eyes lit up—it was delicious.
She suddenly remembered she hadn’t prepared any seafood. She liked seafood but had been so busy she forgot.
She calculated the time—another month had passed, with half a month left.
She still had some money, and food, clothes, and cold-resistant supplies were ready, even entertainment for daily leisure.
The renovation team could do the final inspection tomorrow. She was eager to have them leave quickly—the professional formaldehyde-removal team was already there.
The batteries she ordered had shipped. Her space could charge them, enough for her to use for ten years, plus several solar panels.
She bought a plane ticket for the day after tomorrow to the United States—she couldn’t get the weapons she wanted domestically.
For early natural disasters, she could use knives and cold weapons. When the zombie outbreak came later, she’d have firearms—one shot per zombie, keeping a safe distance.
She finished eating, paid, and left.
She already had many prepared dishes stored in her space; she just needed to take them out when eating. As for barbecue, her space had fresh meat and vegetables, so during heavy rain, she could still grill some stored inside.
Li Yao parked her car outside the community and walked in.
“Ah!” A girl screamed.
Li Yao didn’t want to get involved. In the apocalypse, she knew only living for oneself mattered most.
She didn’t want trouble, but trouble found her anyway.
“Sis, help me! Those thugs are going to attack me!” Yan Wantong ran to Li Yao.
Seeing Li Yao’s face, she was deeply jealous. Li Yao was really beautiful. Yan Wantong fancied herself a rare beauty but felt dull beside Li Yao.
She thought that Su Xiao had been cold to her these days because he had taken a liking to Li Yao. She sneered inside, planning to cheat Li Yao out of everything and then humiliate her.
The three thugs were contacted by Su Xiao to help Yan Wantong stage a scene. When they saw Li Yao, their eyes glued to her.
“Hey, here’s another little beauty. We’re lucky today,” they exchanged looks—only a fool would miss a beauty.
The place was remote.
“I’ve already called the police. I advise you to leave. My fists are not something ordinary people can handle,” Li Yao warned.
Her powers had awakened inside her body. She felt her body changing daily, becoming lighter and stronger.
Currently, she had fire and wind powers, well hidden—she had never revealed them on her 24-hour livestream. Rebirth was a good thing for her, but with powers, she wasn’t sure if it was entirely good.
“The little sister’s hands are so white and long, her little fists pounding my body, making my heart soft,” the thug sneered.
Yan Wantong despised these thugs for taking their money and not doing their job.
She grabbed Li Yao and cried, “Sis, this time it’s my fault for dragging you into this. Run, but please call the police!”
“No one’s leaving. You two belong to our brothers today.” They took the money, and they wanted the woman too.
Li Yao looked regretfully at them. She had given them a chance to back off, but they refused. If they attacked recklessly, they could only blame themselves.
Viewers who remained in Li Yao’s livestream were surprised. They didn’t expect such excitement after the eating stream.
[Encountered thugs! Earth isn’t the interstellar, police won’t arrive so fast.]
[Li Yao, run! It’s dangerous.]
[Can’t run! What about the pretty girl?]
[Li Yao must run to call the police.]
The chat was debating whether Li Yao should run.
The three thugs surrounded Li Yao and Yan Wantong.
Li Yao felt a dirty hand touch her shoulder from behind. She grabbed the hand. The thug laughed, “Little sister’s hands really are soft.”
Li Yao threw him over her shoulder in a judo throw. The thug felt like his insides were out of place. The other two saw Li Yao was tough and rushed her together.
Li Yao knew kung fu and knocked both down with a few punches and kicks.
Yan Wantong’s eyes widened. The three they had hired were no good. Li Yao handled them so easily?
Su Xiao only thought Li Yao was rich and hadn’t found out she knew self-defense.
Looking at the men on the ground, Li Yao told Yan Wantong, “When the police arrive, tell the truth. There are cameras at the intersection; just check the footage.”
After saying this, Li Yao left. She had other things to do and didn’t want to get involved.
Yan Wantong hurried after her, “You gave me your contact info. I want to repay you.”
“No need,” Li Yao said quickly and left.
After they left, Yan Wantong spat at the three men on the ground, “Is this how you do business with money?”
The thugs writhed on the ground. The leader groaned, “You didn’t say this woman was so strong. You’ll pay for our treatment too.”
Yan Wantong sneered, “Messing things up and still want money? Spit. You better run now or wait for the police to catch you?”
Terrified, they dragged their injured bodies away.
Yan Wantong, angry over the failed plan, returned to her rental with a dark face.
As she left, Li Yao emerged from a corner.
She looked toward the direction the thugs left. “Working together?”
Had she done something to attract attention? She thought for a minute but couldn’t figure it out.
Frowning, she walked back to her rental.
Her livestream exploded with comments.
[Did I see that wrong? How did Li Yao do that just now?]
[So cool! I’ve fallen into Li Yao’s pit and can’t get out. I need a kiss from her to be cured.]
[I didn’t hear Li Yao could do this before.]
[I admit I spoke a bit harshly to Li Yao before. Can I win her over if I speak gently now?]
Idle Qiu Ling noticed the shift in the atmosphere of Li Yao’s livestream.
