However, Mrs. Jia, who shared the bed with Banggen, was truly exhausted today. Even though she hadn't eaten dinner, the moment she touched the bed, she fell into a deep sleep and began to snore like thunder; to describe it as thunderous was no exaggeration. Banggen’s faint groans were instantly swallowed by Mrs. Jia’s snoring, sinking like a stone into the ocean, without causing a single ripple.
Perhaps driven by an intense survival instinct, Banggen’s desire to live surged. He summoned every ounce of his strength, using both hands and feet to strike Mrs. Jia in an attempt to wake her. But Mrs. Jia was portly, and she was wearing thick clothing for the night. Banggen was currently so weak that even with all his might, his blows felt like mere tickles to her, having no effect at all. Finally, consumed by agony and reaching the limit of his sanity, Banggen used his last shred of strength to bite down hard on Mrs. Jia’s neck.
"Ouch!" Mrs. Jia cried out in pain, the scream shattering the silence of the room. She bolted upright as if jolted awake, instinctively flicking on the light, and looked blearily at Banggen beside her.
