An Nuan felt a pang of regret.
Those people seemed experienced, likely having begun targeting others as soon as the downpour started.
They must have had a lot of supplies.
It was a shame none were left alive.
Otherwise, after rescuing Hai Changfeng, she would have stripped them clean and hung them from a tree to satisfy her rage!
An Nuan saw time was running out and quickened her pace, arriving at the old mansion five minutes ahead of schedule.
"Sister Nuan, your old mansion is so beautiful!"
"It's worth hundreds of millions, of course it's beautiful."
The old mansion was a traditional Chinese courtyard built in the late Qing Dynasty.
It used to be the residence of a provincial scholar. Her grandmother and grandfather loved such traditional places and had spent a fortune to acquire the land.
Unexpectedly, An Dong had occupied it now.
The walls were frozen over, layer upon layer, like a giant ice turtle shell.
An Dong, huddled inside, was like a living turtle.
An Nuan's anger flared, and she cursed again, "Turtle grandson!"
Juanzi rubbed against her, nudging her necklace.
An Nuan touched the necklace.
In her previous life, she had trusted An Tianxin implicitly, giving An Tianxin whatever she wanted.
Only this necklace, being a relic her grandmother had personally placed on her, An Nuan had never yielded.
But An Tianxin had never given up, always wanting to touch it.
Before she was pushed into the zombie horde, An Tianxin had asked for it, even attempting to snatch it.
An Nuan hadn't thought much of it before, but today, the more she thought about it, the stranger it felt.
"Sister Nuan, what's wrong?"
"They are cunning, father and daughter. When we act, be swift and decisive."
"Don't worry, I'm always decisive with outsiders!"
An Nuan smiled and took off the necklace, hanging it on Juanzi's neck.
Its fur was thick and dense, making the necklace almost invisible.
"Anyone who dares approach you, I'll shoot them dead!"
Juanzi wagged its tail: Understood!
An Nuan wrapped her down jacket tighter and entered with Chang Kaitong.
As soon as they reached the entrance, two men emerged from above, pointing their guns at their faces.
"Sister, you're quite something, bringing a pretty boy here to die."
"I don't want to waste time. Where is Hai Changfeng?"
"Follow us."
The main gate was frozen shut, but a small gap had been left open.
An Nuan and Chang Kaitong could slip through sideways.
They passed through the front hall and the central courtyard, with no mercenaries stationed there.
Upon reaching the inner courtyard, seven or eight mercenaries were gathered in the yard.
Hai Changfeng was hung from a thick banyan tree, his entire body a deep purple from the cold.
His head was bloody, half his face obscured by the blood, making his features unrecognizable.
Fortunately, the other half of his face was still recognizable.
An Dong stood by a second-floor window, "You little bitch, you actually came!"
"I've come to get my man. No more nonsense. Release Hai Changfeng, and I'll leave you a whole corpse."
"Are you fucking insane? Don't you see the situation?"
Ten mercenaries raised their guns, aiming at An Nuan and Chang Kaitong.
Hai Changfeng's lips trembled, emitting a faint sound.
"Run... Run quickly..."
Hai Changfeng was almost frozen to death, yet he was still concerned about them.
For that alone, An Nuan felt this trip was worth it.
"Run? Today, I'll send you all to see Yama!"
"Dad, remember the necklace!"
As expected!
An Tianxin had her eyes on her necklace!
An Dong: "Attack!"
An Nuan: "Attack!"
The moment bullets were fired, Chang Kaitong's magnetic ability erupted, repelling all metal objects in reverse.
The handguns exploded, mangling the hands of several men.
An Nuan flicked her fingers, and a ring-shaped blade danced in her hand, cleanly slitting the throats of two men.
"Eight."
An Nuan wrapped her legs around one man's neck, flipping and spinning.
Crack!
"Seven."
She turned and threw the ring dagger in her hand, hitting the opponent's throat.
"Six."
The remaining six mercenaries were stunned.
How could this little girl be so slippery, like an eel!
An Nuan knew they were mercenaries and couldn't match them in brute strength.
But she had the advantage of agility and surprise.
Just as An Nuan was about to attack the next man, An Tianxin suddenly shouted, "Left! Watch out!"
The opponent reacted, throwing a punch at An Nuan.
She immediately changed her trajectory, latched onto his arm, and dislocated it.
She snatched the saber from his waist and pressed it against his throat.
Bang!
One shot finished him.
"Five left."
By this time, Chang Kaitong had also freed Hai Changfeng.
He took off his down jacket to cover Hai Changfeng, wiped the blood from his face, and let out a surprised "Hmm."
An Dong roared, "Idiot, attack that kid! Kill him!"
Chang Kaitong heard the cocking of a gun and glanced behind him.
A bullet shot through from behind, piercing the opponent's entire arm.
An Nuan aimed for his neck and fired again.
"Uncle, you only have four people left!"
An Dong stared, dumbfounded.
Bullets could rebound, was that even logical?
Old Tao was also stunned, but he quickly realized something was amiss.
"Little girl, what did you do?"
"Guess. If you guess correctly, I'll tell you."
Old Tao jumped down from the second floor, dropped his gun, and flexed his muscles at her.
Even through the thick cotton clothes and bulletproof vest, An Nuan could see the outline of his muscles.
This showed how powerful the man's physique was.
"Come on! Let's have a man's duel!"
"Heh heh."
Bang!
A bullet shot out from between his eyebrows.
Old Tao's lips quivered.
"You... you're dishonorable."
As soon as he spoke, he fell straight to the ground.
An Nuan stared coldly at his corpse.
"First, I didn't agree to a fistfight, and second, I am not a man."
Seeing this, An Dong was utterly shocked.
Old Tao had been with him for over ten years and had dealt with all sorts of heinous criminals, how could he have fallen to a little girl!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Uncle, let's go quickly. They can control bullets, they're not normal people!"
Mo Shu, limping, grabbed An Dong.
An Dong roared, "Kill her! Whoever kills her, I'll give them a billion!"
Only three mercenaries remained. Knowing they couldn't use their guns, they decided to charge forward and defeat An Nuan in close combat.
But they miscalculated.
Their guns were useless, but An Nuan's were not.
The three of them rushed forward, shortening the aiming distance.
Bang bang bang!
Three shots, three men. All ten mercenaries were dealt with.
It felt good for an ability user to fight normal humans!
"Sister Nuan, they're escaping!"
An Nuan saw them.
She still wanted to let An Dong and his daughter escape.
Death would be too easy for them!
But Mo Shu had to die!
For the way he had beaten Hai Changfeng, An Nuan couldn't let him live.
"Dai Dai!"
Daizi: Coming!
A pillar of fire shot from the frozen banyan tree towards the second floor, blasting the rooms into disarray.
"Mo Shu!"
"You have time to worry about him! There's a monster outside, a tiger!"
He grabbed An Tianxin and ran outside. Mo Shu crawled up from the ground, only to fall again.
An Nuan walked behind him and grabbed his hair.
"We meet again, scum!"
