A swift and decisive victory in the early stages, a post-apocalyptic survival story in America!

After leaving the supermarket, Li Qi pushed a shopping cart full of items and walked quickly toward the Dodge Tyrannosaurus Rex pickup truck.

Li Qi was about to go out to buy a computer when Nalin made a list of daily necessities for him to buy.

Li Qi took a closer look and found that many of the items were necessities for women's normal lives.

Some things have been used up quite a bit, while others have never been bought at all.

It must be said that Nick has done an excellent job in energy conservation, emission reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement.

These six beautiful women are not canaries at all; they are like old hens in a cage, receiving no benefits other than being fed some feed and water to ensure their survival.

Sofia was imprisoned for eleven years, Narin for nine, Cindy and Sophie for seven, and the Anna sisters for six. It doesn't sound like much, but if you put yourself in Sofia's shoes, it was a nightmare.

To be fair, if it weren't for Nick's strange sexual preferences, these six women would probably be no different from slaves.

Li Qi also bought a laptop that could read hard drives, intending to see what was going on with those hard drives.

This shopping spree cost nearly $20,000.

Looking at the shopping cart full of items that had traveled across the ocean, clearly altered from their country of origin, and seemingly familiar, Li Qi sighed inwardly, "These US dollars are really getting harder and harder to spend."

After loading the items into the pickup truck, Li Qi glanced around. On a weekday morning, the supermarket parking lot was nearly deserted.

Even robbers know to sleep in late, but I'm the only one who sleeps later than the chickens and wakes up earlier than the chickens...

Li Qi grumbled to himself with a sweet feeling, pressed the remote key to unlock the car, reached out and grabbed the door handle, sat in the driver's seat, and was about to start the car.

Suddenly, a chill ran down the back of my head, and a smell of gunpowder and gunpowder mixed with a faint perfume wafted into my nostrils.

In the rearview mirror, a pistol fitted with a silencer slowly emerged from the back seat and was pressed against the back of my head.

Li Qi was stunned, a million curses running through his mind.

It's America, where guns are fired every day!

It's impossible to guard against!

No matter how much we planned, we never expected that someone would be able to open the car door and sneak into the back seat!

Who would be so bold as to commit armed robbery in a supermarket parking lot with surveillance cameras everywhere?

Li Qi didn't dare to resist and said directly, "Brother, let's talk this out! I still have some money in my pocket, you can have it all!"

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse; survival was the priority, and everything else could wait.

"Put both hands on the steering wheel!"

The sound was crisp and pleasant, and it sounded very familiar...

Li Qi did as instructed, but when he raised his hand, he accidentally flicked the rearview mirror and then placed his hand on the steering wheel.

"Lola Thorne?" Seeing that pretty face in the rearview mirror, Li Qi felt even more curses running through his mind.

"Hmm." Lola, sitting in the back of the Dodge, was quite pleased with herself.

Now that I've realized this, I've finally managed to outsmart this damn rib!

"You've been following me?" Li Qi was extremely frustrated, but after a moment's thought, he guessed the truth.

"What do you think?" Lola said smugly.

Li Qi felt a bit annoyed. It seemed that before they parted yesterday, the girl had installed a GPS tracker on his car.

Not surprising, these are basic skills for ICE agents.

Well, William Thomson's mansion has been exposed.

However, Li Qi didn't take it seriously. Lola already knew the pickup truck's license plate and the name "William Thomson." With a little effort, she could easily find out the details and locate the house address. It couldn't be easier.

The reason Lola went through all this trouble was because she didn't want to alert anyone.

Li Qi obediently placed his hands on the steering wheel, not daring to resist at all.

The two had a previous falling out, and Lola shot herself without any problems.

Although the supermarket has surveillance cameras, Lola's are well-hidden, while Dodge's privacy screen is so deep that no one will notice.

It will probably be several days before someone finds that the car is rotting inside.

If Laura drives the Dodge away and then dumps the body, it might cause some trouble...

Li Qi was lost in thought, unsure of what this silly girl would do next.

This is not a normal person; you can't use normal logic to speculate about it.

If nothing unexpected happens, she did this to get the video of her murder and the things she found at Nick's house last night.

The situation was urgent, and they parted hastily. Although they agreed to contact each other again, Lola had no idea what she had received.

This farce is a result of someone who was deliberately trying to outwit someone who wasn't.

Perhaps because she wasn't sure where the recording was, Lola didn't dare to act immediately. After all, she only knew where she had spent the night, but she wasn't sure who her backup plan was or where it was.

Otherwise, if he, a nameless John Doe, were to collapse, it would be a perfect match for this pickup truck with a fictitious owner.

"Where's my video!" Lola readily admitted her motive.

Li Qi remained calm and composed, yet spoke with sarcasm: "Do you think I would keep a videotape with me at all times? Ready for you to catch me, give it to me, and let you kill me to silence me?"

Laura was speechless for a moment, then changed the subject, asking, "What valuable things did you get from Nick's house yesterday?"

"What could it be? Money, of course! Do you want it? You can have it all!"

"Don't give me that nonsense!" Lola asked coldly, "Besides money! You can open the safe and there's nothing else inside?"

"Yes, but I didn't take them." Li Qi remembered those hard drives and lied through his teeth.

I wonder if my lies will become more believable after I get the "Liar" talent bonus.

Now that I feel this is sincere enough, I can't even imagine what it would be like with skill bonuses...

"I don't believe it!"

"Believe it or not!" Li Qi glanced at the rearview mirror, assessing the situation.

The girl's movements were very precise; that's probably how she was taught at school. She held the gun at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, making it difficult to suddenly seize it.

Lola certainly wouldn't shoot herself immediately, but she would definitely search her body and then control herself to search the place where she stayed last night.

This process is bound to have its share of mistakes, but I can take it one step at a time...

Calling the police is out of the question; if they actually come, she'll be in deep trouble.

To put it bluntly, the two of them are now double-crossing each other.

Li Qi didn't care about the hard drives, but he cared a lot about the $760,000, and even more about having his life threatened at gunpoint.

If Lola were easy to talk to, she could give all these things to her for free if she called him "good brother" or "good father".

But pointing a gun at yourself is a different matter entirely.

Surprisingly, Lola didn't make Richie get out of the car to search him or check the backpack in the passenger seat. Instead, she poked Richie in the back of the head with the muzzle of her gun and ordered, "Go get me the video!"

Li Qi admired her intelligence to some extent, but said helplessly, "You're using my life to blackmail me into handing over what I use to save my life. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Laura was also helpless; what else could she do?

Killing him is not an option, nor is not killing him. If I don't get the video, I'll be at his mercy. What can I do to get the video except point a gun at this drug addict and skinny guy?

Seeing that things had reached this stalemate, Li Qi turned to look at the muzzle of Lola's gun. After so long without her firing, the possibility of her executing him from behind was rapidly decreasing, almost to zero.

Having died once, Li Qi deeply resented being threatened with his life like this, but how to break the current stalemate was the problem.
