Chapter 15 - Water supply has been completely cut off

Su Nian stared at Zhao Xiaoyue for a moment. "Do you really know you're wrong? And him?"

As she spoke, Su Nian exerted force with her foot.

Chen Weiguang winced in pain, his body twitching before rolling his eyes.

Zhao Xiaoyue's heart raced as tears streamed down her face. She nodded vigorously, "He knows too! He knows too! We won't dare to do it again in the future!"

Su Nian nodded satisfactorily, retracting her foot. "Since you sincerely admit your mistake, I'll give you a chance. Make sure to cherish it."

With that, Su Nian turned around and walked straight towards the door of the house.

There was no sound behind her until Su Nian opened the door and returned home.

Of course, Su Nian didn't let them off that easily. It's just that now, in the apartment building, she couldn't kill them. But Su Nian knew that no matter how good Zhao Xiaoyue's attitude was at the moment, she would definitely find a way to seek revenge later.

By the next time, these two would surely have a meticulous plan, probably outside the building.

Su Nian certainly wouldn't give them another chance to plot against her.

As three days passed in the blink of an eye, Su Nian didn't wait for Zhao Xiaoyue and the other person to leave, but instead received news of a complete water shutdown.

Two months of high temperatures had caused numerous fires. Although precautions had been taken and repairs had been intensified at night, there were too many places with aging lines that couldn't be repaired in time.

Just today at noon, the motor room of the water plant caught fire.

Most people were already asleep when the fire broke out, so no one noticed.

By the time people discovered it, not only had the motor room been completely burned, but nearby equipment factories had also been engulfed in flames.

Looking at the images online, even Su Nian, who had been reborn, found it chilling.

With the water plant burnt like this, there would definitely be no water supply in the short term.

People can go without food for seven days, but if they don't drink water, they won't last three days, even under normal temperatures.

Let alone in this heat, they probably wouldn't last a day without water.

Of course, every household must have stored water, but the quantity was limited. How long could they last?

Messages in the neighborhood chat were one after another, all discussing buying water.

In the end, they unanimously decided to go out together to buy water after dark.

The recent situation wasn't stable, and people from their neighborhood had been robbed when they went out to buy supplies before.

Since then, people went out in groups when purchasing goods. With more people, there was deterrence, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to approach.

Su Nian turned off her phone, dressed neatly, and walked out.

Just as she opened the door, she saw Zhao Xiaoyue and Chen Weiguang.

It was obvious that they had just left. Seeing Su Nian suddenly appear, they were startled and took a step back.

Ignoring them, Su Nian walked straight to the stairwell.

Seeing Su Nian's departing figure, Zhao Xiaoyue and Chen Weiguang glanced at each other and followed.

As they descended the stairs, Su Nian saw many residents of the building.

However, most of those who came out were men. There weren't many young women like Su Nian.

Su Nian paid no attention to the scrutiny of others.

Most people walked directly out of the unit door on the first floor. Those like Su Nian, going to the underground parking lot, were few.

After all, at this time, there weren't many people willing to drive, and gasoline was not only expensive but also hard to come by.

Gasoline was already difficult to buy.

Su Nian drove out of the parking lot but didn't head to the nearest mall, choosing a slightly farther destination instead.

Su Nian's speed wasn't fast. She needed to give Zhao Xiaoyue and Chen Weiguang a chance to catch up.

However, to Su Nian's slight surprise, Zhao Xiaoyue and Chen Weiguang managed to get hold of an electric car from somewhere, and it was quite fast.

Zhao Xiaoyue was driving, while Chen Weiguang sat in the back holding an axe.

The electric car gradually approached the car, and Su Nian could clearly see the expressions on their faces.

Chen Weiguang sneered, "You slut, today I'll make you pay!"

He raised the axe in his hand and smashed it towards the driver's side window.

Seeing his action, Su Nian felt no fear. She stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and the car shot out suddenly.

Chen Weiguang's blow missed.

Because of the excessive force, the axe almost hit his own leg. He hurriedly let go and threw the axe away to avoid injury.

Zhao Xiaoyue was also startled by this sudden change but tried to brake immediately.

However, due to the previous high speed, she couldn't stop immediately. The car swayed a few times before finally stabilizing.

When the two got off the electric car, their faces were dark.

Having delayed for such a long time, Su Nian probably had already driven far away.

If they missed today, with Su Nian being cautious, it wouldn't be easy to find an opportunity next time.

Just as the two were extremely regretful, they heard Su Nian's voice.

"Are you looking for me?"

Zhao Xiaoyue and Chen Weiguang both looked towards the sound. By the light of the electric car's headlights, they could see Su Nian standing less than 10 meters away from them.

Seeing Su Nian unexpectedly returning, Chen Weiguang was first stunned, then burst into laughter.

"You bitch, dare to come back! Let me show you today!"

With that, Chen Weiguang picked up the axe from the ground, swung it, and menacingly approached Su Nian.

"Last time I was unprepared, that's why you succeeded. Today, I'll show you my skills!"

Hearing Chen Weiguang's words, Su Nian couldn't help but find it extremely ridiculous.

There are some people in this world who refuse to admit their own incompetence and others' abilities, always finding excuses for their failures.

In a moment, Chen Weiguang arrived in front of Su Nian, wielding the axe and chopping towards her.

Before the axe fell, Su Nian swiftly dodged, disappearing from the spot.

Seeing this scene, Chen Weiguang's pupils constricted. He subconsciously tried to find Su Nian's position.

But before he could find her, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. His pupils dilated suddenly, and he looked down at his chest.

There was a blade tip protruding from his chest, gleaming with a chilling light even in the darkness.

Behind Chen Weiguang, Su Nian withdrew the dagger expressionlessly.

At the moment Su Nian retracted the dagger, Chen Weiguang's body also fell stiffly to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

All of this happened in just a few seconds.

Not far away, Zhao Xiaoyue witnessed this scene, her face suddenly changed, wanting to scream, but no sound came out.
