Apocalypse: Resources consumed by women will be returned ten thousandfold.

--Translated by likesnovel--

The young man immediately pulled out a dagger, his face twisted with hostility as he shouted,

“Idiot, what are you staring at?”

He showed no fear of Jiang Fan at all, relying solely on his strong physique.

Jiang Fan, however, couldn’t understand why these two people hated him so much.

But it didn’t matter—he didn’t need to understand.

In the next instant, he kicked out without hesitation.

Bang!

The man’s body was sent flying, smashing through the window and plummeting down the building with a scream.

Falling from more than 20 floors—there was no chance of survival.

The middle-aged man widened his eyes in disbelief. He never imagined his son would die just because of a single rude sentence.

“You… you… you’re insane!”

Bai Xinjie covered her mouth in shock, nearly collapsing on the spot.

Jiang Fan grabbed the man by the collar and said calmly,

“If you dare draw a blade, you must be ready to face the consequences.”

The man struggled desperately, roaring,

“Let me go! I’ll kill you!”

With a slight exertion of force, Jiang Fan lifted him off the ground effortlessly.

Then, without any hesitation, he threw him out of the window.

“No—!”

A desperate scream echoed as the figure disappeared.

A few seconds later, a heavy impact sounded from the ground below.

Silence returned.

The man’s wife, who had heard the commotion, rushed out in panic. When she saw what had happened, she completely broke down.

“Screeeech! I’ll fight you to the death!”

She charged forward like a madwoman, screaming and clawing wildly.

Slap!

Jiang Fan struck her once. Her head snapped awkwardly to the side, and her body went limp immediately.

He casually threw her out of the building after her husband and son, showing no mercy.

Then he turned back to Bai Xinjie.

The girl stood frozen, trembling violently, tears pooling in her eyes.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Jiang Fan smiled faintly and gently patted her head.

“Family should stay together, shouldn’t they?”

Bai Xinjie’s teeth chattered uncontrollably as tears streamed down her face.

“You… you…”

Jiang Fan took out a bag of bread and smiled lightly.

“Follow me. I guarantee you won’t go hungry.”

“Hmm?” Bai Xinjie looked at him in confusion.

She couldn’t understand what this man was thinking.

How could he remain so calm after killing several people right in front of her?

Deep down, however, she felt something else—

A thought emerged: someone like Jiang Fan might actually be the kind of person best suited to survive in this apocalypse.

She had already witnessed too much death in just the past few days.

But still… how had the world become like this?

Bai Xinjie stood in a daze.

At that moment, Bai Yongxin, who was lying in the room, heard the commotion and slowly crawled out.

When he saw Jiang Fan touching his sister’s head, rage instantly surged within him.

Who is this guy?!

Is he her secret boyfriend?!

Panic rose in him immediately. He had just been planning to “trade” his sister to Chen Yong in exchange for supplies, and now someone had suddenly appeared.

If Chen Yong found out, everything would be ruined!

He gritted his teeth and said coldly,

“So you really were secretly meeting a man!”

Bai Xinjie hurriedly tried to explain,

“No! Jiang Fan is—”

But before she could finish, the door was suddenly kicked open.

A middle-aged man with a cold expression walked in, followed by two muscular bodyguards.

Behind them stood Zheng Hongxia, forcing a stiff smile as she said,

“Brother Yong, this is my daughter. Take a look.”

Chen Yong swept his gaze across the room, his eyes immediately locking onto Bai Xinjie.

He had been eyeing this girl for a long time. Only recently had he been busy consolidating supplies and controlling the building, leaving no chance to act.

Now that things had stabilized, he was just thinking about when to begin—

And she had been delivered to him.

Chen Yong smiled coldly.

“Good! I’m satisfied! Girl, come here and let me take a closer look!”

Chen Yong said impatiently:

“Brother Five, bring me 1 packet of instant noodles. Then get rid of her. Tonight, I’m taking her as my bride right here—haha!”

Zhao Hongxia froze.

“We agreed on 10 packets…”

Bai Xinjie felt like she had been struck by lightning.

Ten packets of instant noodles… was that really all she was worth?

Brother Five frowned in annoyance.

“You stupid woman, even 1 packet is generous. And you still want 10?”

Bai Yongxin quickly spoke up in panic.

“Mom! Didn’t we agree on half? Why did it turn into 10 packets?!”

Bai Xinjie slowly turned her head to look at her brother.

So… they had already planned everything?

Her voice trembled, full of despair.

“Brother… I risked my life to get medicine for you… and this is how you treat me?”

Bai Yongxin shook her off violently.

“Get lost! Since you already sold yourself, it doesn’t matter who you’re sold to!”

Bai Xinjie’s heart sank completely.

She looked at the people in front of her family… as if they were strangers.

10 packets of instant noodles.

That was her value.

Just 10 packets.

In her mother and brother’s eyes, she was nothing more than that—worthless.

Bai Yongxin gritted his teeth and stepped in front of Chen Yong.

“Brother Yong, my sister is beautiful. 10 packets is too little—”

Slap!

Chen Yong sent him flying to the ground with a single strike, grinning coldly.

“Who gave you the right to bargain with me?!”

His subordinates immediately rushed forward, kicking and punching him brutally.

Bai Yongxin was still sick and weak, barely able to resist. He could only scream in pain.

Zhao Hongxia rushed forward to shield her son, crying desperately.

“Stop! Please stop! No more noodles! Don’t hit my son! We’ll give you Bai Xinjie for free!”

The two subordinates glanced at Chen Yong.

Chen Yong grabbed a wooden chair and smashed it onto Zhao Hongxia’s head, roaring:

“You think I’ll just let this go? I’ve already lost face! Beat them to death!”

The two subordinates lifted the chair and slammed it down again and again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After more than 10 strikes, both bodies went still.

Blood pooled across the floor.

Bai Xinjie stared blankly at the scene, feeling something strange deep inside—almost like a twisted sense of “revenge” had been fulfilled.

Chen Yong walked toward her, holding the bloodstained chair, grinning viciously.

“What are you standing there for? Come here!”

Her hands trembled slightly.

At that moment—

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Slow applause came from the side.

“Not bad… cruel enough. I like it.”

Chen Yong finally noticed a plain-looking young man standing in the corner.

He frowned immediately.

“Hey, kid. You talking to me?”

His subordinates burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! This kid’s insane!”

“Kneel and apologize now, maybe you’ll survive!”

Jiang Fan’s expression turned cold.

He casually picked up a chair.

“I’m in a good mood today. I’ll give you a chance—kill yourselves.”

Chen Yong laughed loudly like he had just heard a joke.

“Hahaha—what the—?!”

Before he could finish—

Jiang Fan snapped off a chair leg in an instant and slammed it into his mouth with terrifying speed.

Crack!

His teeth shattered instantly.

Before Chen Yong could even scream—

He was forced down to the ground.

Bang!

The chair leg pierced through his skull, pinning him firmly to the floor.

The smiles on the two subordinates froze.

Before they could react—

A fist came crashing in.

One was kicked into the wall, coughing blood before collapsing lifelessly.

In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with corpses.

Only Jiang Fan and Bai Xinjie remained alive.

Bai Xinjie stood frozen.

She stared at him for a long time…

Before her eyes rolled back and she collapsed into unconsciousness.
