The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Xin Yi looked at the man who was slumped on the ground and felt a sense of helplessness. She had originally planned to let him stay here to stand guard, so that even if someone came to patrol, it would not be easy to notice anything unusual.

However, at this moment, he brought trouble upon himself, which caused Xin Yi trouble. She had to go to great lengths to move him into the room and lock him up.

After everything was settled, Xin Yi locked the door, clapped her hands, and felt a little hungry, so she decided to go and see how the enemy agents were eating.

When she returned to the main room, she saw that the food had already been laid out on the table.

Xin Yi observed it carefully and thought it was pretty good, with a proper balance of meat and vegetables.

These people clearly value quality of life, but she couldn't help but wonder, who was in charge of cooking?

Xin Yi sat down without any hesitation, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat heartily.

The taste was quite good, but it lacked a staple food. Just as she was thinking about it, an old lady came in carrying a bowl of steamed buns made from two kinds of dough.

This old woman was the only one among everyone Xin Yi met who wasn't wearing a mask. Judging from the fear in her eyes, she was probably forced to come, or even the owner of the farmhouse, who had been usurped by this group of people.

To avoid alerting her, Xin Yi didn't talk to her and started eating her steamed bun.

The old woman carefully put down the basin, not daring to make a sound, and quietly turned to leave.

"Wait!" Xin Yi suddenly said.

The old woman trembled, and still turned around shakily, her voice slightly choked with sobs, "Sir...sir, please...what are your orders?"

Xin Yi didn't know how Han Bing truly felt about her, so she could only coldly say, "Prepare a room for me to rest!"

The old woman looked troubled. "Sir... there are no... no rooms available!"

"How can such a big house not have any empty rooms?"

The old woman jumped to her knees, her fingers trembling as she pointed to the room on the left, "This room belongs to that lord, and two lords are already resting in the other room!"

"Okay, go down!"

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, shakily got up, and walked out.

While eating, Xin Yi pondered. The room on the left was occupied by Poison Scorpion and Ning Zheng, and the two people on the right were most likely the people on night patrol. She decided to go all out and knock them out first.

As she pondered, Xin Yi suddenly felt thirsty, so she picked up her teacup, took a sip, and continued to think about her next course of action.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xin Yi decided not to hesitate any longer and went straight to the room on the right. She gently pushed open the door and saw two masked people lying on the bed, one on top of the other. Judging from their breathing, they were probably asleep.

Xin Yi secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, the two were fast asleep and did not notice her arrival, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort.

Without saying a word, Xin Yi quickly threw out two lightning balls and then threw them towards the two people on the bed.

Two muffled thuds were heard as the lightning ball struck its target accurately. The two men convulsed and then lost consciousness.

However, Xin Yi did not let her guard down. She knew that these two were enemy agents on a mission and their strength was not to be underestimated. If she did not take some measures, they might cause her trouble when she woke up.

So she decided to take drastic measures and cripple their limbs to ensure they would no longer pose a threat to her.

After Xin Yi finished doing all this, she watched as the sky gradually darkened, and a sense of urgency welled up in her heart. She had not yet figured out the situation around her, nor the number of enemy agents. She had to eliminate the potential dangers as soon as possible before Poison Scorpion and Ning Zheng returned.

Based on the current situation, Poison Scorpion will either arrange to meet Feng Yi tonight or tomorrow, but Xin Yi prefers the former. After all, as the saying goes, it's easier to do things under the cover of darkness, and it's also easier to disguise oneself.

As for the meeting place, it would most likely be here. Xin Yi decided to stay here and keep watch. Since it was still early, she went to the Scorpion's room to see if she could find anything useful.

Scorpion's room didn't look special. Besides a bed, there was a wardrobe and a table. Xin Yi searched carefully and found a little over a hundred yuan and a box of jewelry. Xin Yi didn't take it, mainly because she had nothing to put in it.

Looking at the mark on his wrist, he knew he would be able to activate his spatial abilities soon, and all of this would be his.

Xin Yi gently closed the door, making a soft "click" sound.

Just then, a figure appeared in the main room; it was the old lady who was in charge of clearing away the dishes.

When the old woman saw Xin Yi come out of the scorpion's room, a hint of doubt and surprise flashed in her eyes. But she quickly realized her own identity and situation. As someone imprisoned here, she had no right to ask other people's questions.

So she lowered her head, pretended not to see anything, silently picked up her cutlery, and continued doing her work.

Xin Yi noticed the old woman's reaction and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that the old woman was sensible and didn't ask any more questions. After all, Xin Yi didn't want anyone to find out about her relationship with the scorpion.

She stood quietly in place, watching the old woman's busy figure, then turned and walked outside.

By this time, it was getting dark. Outside the house was a fenced yard with a well in it. Some vegetables were growing next to the well, but they had all withered.

Xin Yi couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine: "Could it be that the old lady isn't the owner of this farmhouse?"

Logically speaking, if the old woman was the owner of this farmhouse, she certainly wouldn't let her vegetables wither and die, unless she was kidnapped from somewhere else, or she was also an enemy agent.

Thinking of this, Xin Yi's heart jumped, and she decided to observe the old woman's behavior further.

After tidying up the table, the old lady put the bowls and chopsticks into a large basin, then carried it out of the main room.

Xin Yi quickly ran to the side, pretending to observe the situation outside, but her eyes were always fixed on the old lady.

The old woman seemed not to notice Xin Yi's presence. She went into the yard, drew a basin of water from the well, and began to wash the dishes.

Seeing that the old woman didn't even glance at her, Xin Yi's doubts gradually dissipated.

Perhaps the old woman was just an ordinary peasant woman who was wary of strangers.

However, no matter what, Xin Yi was unwilling to let her guard down.

She stepped out of the courtyard and, using the last rays of the setting sun, carefully observed her surroundings.

There were no other houses in the area, making it a perfect base for them.

Just then, Xin Yi noticed lights approaching in the distance. It seemed that Poison Scorpion had returned, but she wasn't sure if Feng Yi had come with him.

Thinking of this, Xin Yi couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and nervousness.
