Chapter 105: Don’t Open the Door
Let’s talk about the survivors. In this large community, there are only about ten survivors, including Wang Xin and his four companions. However, the community isn’t densely populated. Many wealthy people have bought houses here but never lived in them.
There are a few female survivors, but two of them have died for unknown reasons. Eventually, only Xiaomei, Anran, and Liu Yuan remain.
Anran nods, getting a general understanding of the current situation in the community. She silently reminds herself that while Wang Xin and his three companions can be dealt with, she must avoid crossing Yun Tao.
Just as Anran is about to tell Liu Yuan her plans to retrieve the supplies, the doorbell rings. Both she and Liu Yuan jump in surprise, and Hengheng clings to Liu Yuan’s neck in fear. These days, the doorbell no longer signals a friendly visit but the arrival of danger.
“Take Hengheng to the room first, I’ll check,” Anran says quickly, pointing to Doll’s room. She moves toward the door, peering through the peephole.
Outside stands none other than Wang Xin. He rings the doorbell once more.
When Anran doesn’t immediately open the door, impatience takes over. He starts banging on the door with his fists, shouting, “Miss An, open the door! I know you’re in there. I need to talk to you. Open up!”
It seems like Wang Xin is alone.
But Anran doesn’t dare to open the door right away. She doesn’t trust what she sees through the peephole. After hearing Liu Yuan’s words, Anran knows Wang Xin and his men aren’t to be taken lightly. Confronting someone like Wang Xin is dangerous. If the other three men show up, or Yun Tao, she’ll be completely at their mercy.
Biting her lower lip, Anran steadies herself, grips the saber at her waist, and calls out through the door, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say we’d get the food tomorrow morning? It’s a bit late today. Let’s leave it until tomorrow.”
Outside, the sun is setting, and the ecological lake is bathed in an orange glow. The view through the French window is picturesque, with fiery red light spilling into the room.
“I’ve brought you food!” Wang Xin calls out, holding an apple high for Anran to see clearly through the peephole.
Behind Anran, Liu Yuan sticks her head out from Doll’s room, shaking her head anxiously at Anran and whispering urgently, “RAnran, don’t open the door! He’s trying to trick you!”
Every time he uses apples to lure women into opening the door, he never learns to try a new trick!
Anran tilts her head, signaling for Liu Yuan to stay inside, then turns back to Wang Xin, frowning. “Wang Xin, if you need something, let’s talk tomorrow morning. It’s really inconvenient for me to be alone at home right now.”
“Damn it!” Wang Xin curses, then turns to leave.
Anran isn’t sure if he’s really leaving or just pretending. Before she can figure it out, Wang Xin spins back around, kicks the door hard, and yells, “Anran, you’d better not leave this house for the rest of your life, or I’ll catch you someday!”
His words make it clear: Wang Xin is targeting her now, and there’s nowhere to hide.
Anran can’t stay locked in her apartment forever. Wang Xin has already stolen her car and supplies. Now he’s trying to force his way in. If she doesn’t deal with this today, she’ll have to face it sooner or later.
Better to act now, while Doll is still asleep and quiet!
