Stockpiling Supplies&Raising a Child in a Post-Apocalyptic World by DrawingCards

Chapter 55

The call quickly connected, "Mom, Lin Ran and I are back. Lin Ran has taken care of those people outside. But it's still chaotic outside, so stay in the room with Ruanyuan. We have a few more things to handle and will be back soon."

"Alright, I'll put Ruanyuan to sleep first. You two be careful," Cheng Yanhong reminded them again before hanging up.

During the call, Lin Ran and Mo Shuyu had already descended to the fourth floor. Lin Ran pushed open the big white door between the hallway and the apartments, and they stood outside apartment 404.

Inside 404, Xue Yuan and Xue Qiang were already awake. The noise of the wall being smashed was loud, waking up the few surviving residents, who were curious but didn't dare to check. Xue Yuan and Xue Qiang were no different.

"Dad, do you think De Ge succeeded? Why does it seem like the noise has stopped?" Xue Qiang asked from the bedroom.

"I don't know. I heard a motorcycle earlier, so Lin Ran and the others might be back. I hope Lin Ran has been taken care of by De Ge and his men, so we can get our share of the supplies," Xue Yuan said, thinking that with their numbers, Ma Yide and his gang should have no trouble with Lin Ran.

As the father and son talked, there was a sound of the door being struck, not knocked, but hit with some sharp object.

Xue Yuan's face turned pale with fright, "What's that noise?"

"It sounds like someone is smashing the door. Dad, could it be De Ge and his men looking for you?" Xue Qiang said, his voice trembling with fear.

"I don't know." Xue Yuan said, locking the bedroom door and listening to the sounds outside.

Lin Ran only needed two or three strikes to break the lock on the security door. She opened the door and entered Xue Yuan's home, turning on the light in the bedroom.

Xue Qiang, shaking with fear, whispered, "Dad, is someone in the house?"

Xue Yuan, equally terrified, motioned for his son to be silent, focusing all his attention on the sounds outside.

Lin Ran searched the house, finding no one in the other rooms. Only the master bedroom door was closed. She walked over with her katana, kicked the door open, and knocked Xue Yuan to the ground.

Xue Qiang, trembling, helped Xue Yuan up while retreating.

Lin Ran turned on the bedroom light, her cold gaze sweeping across the room. "Was it you two who leaked information about me and my home to the thugs in Building 10?"

"No, Sister Lin, they threatened us. Even if you gave me ten guts, I wouldn't dare. Ma Yide and his gang forced us. If we didn't tell them, they would have killed us. It's not our fault," Xue Yuan said, his legs almost giving way as he saw the blood on Lin Ran's katana.

"Heh, to save your own life, you sold me out? Did you know they almost tore my house apart? They scared Ruan Ruan in my house. Do you think you can bear the responsibility?" Lin Ran asked coldly.

"We had no choice, Sister Lin. Please, spare my dad and me. We won't dare again. We were forced. We didn't mean to reveal your information," Xue Qiang cried.

Lin Ran sneered, "Ma Yide must have promised you a lot of benefits, right? Fine, I'll send you to get them."

"What do you mean?" Xue Yuan and Xue Qiang, scared, backed onto the balcony.

"Exactly what it sounds like," Lin Ran's voice turned colder.

With that, Lin Ran moved her blade. She was so fast that before Xue Qiang realized it, Xue Yuan was already lying in a pool of blood.
