Lin Yue has been having a recurring dream recently. One scene depicts the global apocalypse arriving on June 15th. The other scene shows her tied up and bound, suspended in a warehouse with over te...
"Yueyue, have some water." Kongling quickly handed Lin Yue a glass of water after she finished her work.
Lin Yue took the water, took a sip, and looked at the large box that held people. There were nine people; five more were needed.
"Kongling, do you think Mom and Dad would want to see me like this?"
She suddenly felt a little lost. The knife in her hand was supposed to be used to save people, but now she was using it to kill.
"What's there to be willing or unwilling about? They just want you to live a good life, that's all," Kong Ling said calmly.
In this kind of world, it's either you die or I die; there's no such thing as right or wrong, or willing or unwilling. Even if you're unwilling, you'll be pushed to be willing.
Lin Yue was stunned when she heard this.
Yes! Her parents just want her to live a good life, that's all she needs to do, why are they suddenly asking so many questions?
Even if these people haven't done anything substantial to harm her, they're not good people either. She just needs to follow her heart.
"Kongling, thank you!" Lin Yue said with a smile.
"Hey! No need to thank me." Kong Ling waved her hand, acting nonchalant, but after a moment, she came over again, tugged at a strand of Lin Yue's hair, her eyelashes fluttering, "If you really want to thank me, then go find some more jewelry, ornaments, and antiques, they have to be valuable, because only valuable things can upgrade. I want to go out of the space to take a look, okay?"
Lin Yue burst out laughing; she really couldn't hold it in for even a minute.
"Okay, once this is over, I'll definitely search for these things carefully and try to upgrade the space as soon as possible so you can come out. But how many more levels does the space need to be upgraded before you can come out?"
"Hehe! Level two!" Kong Ling laughed a little awkwardly.
Lin Yue was stunned. Last time, she ate more than a thousand antiques and her space only leveled up twice. This meant that more and more things would be needed to level up later. If she had to level up twice more, how much would she have to eat?
"Phew!" Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely let you out to play."
With plenty of time on her hands, she always managed to find all the "materials" needed to upgrade the space.
She sat in the space for a while longer before leaving. She cleaned up the toilet where they had fought, making sure there were no signs of a struggle before going out.
"Flowers? Flowers? Are you inside?"
Lin Yue had just stepped out of the restroom when a second woman called out from outside.
Lin Yue was secretly delighted. It was quite a coincidence that these people came to her one by one.
Lin Yue quickly put on her invisibility cloak and stood in the bathroom waiting for the person to come in.
The people outside didn't hear a reply, so they called out twice more.
"If she's not inside, she's not inside. Maybe she went somewhere else. Let's eat first; it's already started," another man advised.
"Yeah! Don't you know Hua's personality? She's probably off having fun somewhere right now. She's on a diet anyway, so it doesn't matter to her whether she eats or not." Another voice came in.
Upon hearing that there were three people, Lin Yue decisively entered the space and didn't wait for anyone else to come in.
Sure enough, even God couldn't stand it anymore and set up some obstacles for her.
Even if she has a spatial ability, an invisibility cloak, and a gun, she can't guarantee that she can take care of three people at once.
If a problem cannot be solved in one go, there is a risk that it will be exposed immediately.
Fortunately, these people all have some flaws, so no one will be too suspicious if they disappear for a while.
"No, you all have to come in with me. It's because she's on a diet that we need to check on her. What if she faints from hunger?"
Woman number two and this woman named "Flower" are like sisters, the closest of friends. Now that she's been in the bathroom for so long, of course she's worried.
Lin Yue was speechless. What kind of person was this? In the apocalypse, they were still trying to lose weight. It was already considered good for them not to be skin and bones, yet they still had the energy to diet.
But that woman was pretty strong; she could fight me for so long even while losing weight. She's definitely a female warrior.
"It stinks horribly in there, you go by yourself, we'll just wait outside," Man Number Three said with disgust.
The toilets in the apocalypse are indeed not very clean. Even though someone flushes and cleans them every day, they still have a strong stench.
"Okay, I'll go in and take a look myself. You guys have to wait for me at the door." The lighting inside was a bit dim and yellowish, and she was a little scared.
If Lin Yue knew what this woman was thinking, she would definitely say, "You're not afraid of eating people, so what are you afraid of? You're just being dramatic."
Unfortunately, Lin Yue didn't know!
Although only one person came in at this moment, Lin Yue did not plan to make a move. There were people watching outside, and if the woman did not go out, she would be exposed.
Woman number two went into the restroom and checked every toilet. Finding no one there and no other traces, she was puzzled but didn't dwell on it and left.
Hua'er is indeed quite playful. If she really goes off to play somewhere and I go over to disturb her, Hua'er will definitely get angry.
The three people outside the bathroom walked away chatting and laughing, and Lin Yue came out.
I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I smelled it, it was really intoxicating. I immediately went out into the banquet hall, checked the positions of those people, crawled under the table from the other two empty seats, and entered my spatial dimension.
These people have a really good relationship. They were all sitting at one table, with three empty seats left, probably reserved for people who hadn't arrived yet.
Lin Yue searched through her spatial storage for the weapons Cang Yu had given her.
Hand grenades were impractical, so after searching for a while, she finally found two small remote-controlled bombs. She didn't know much about these things and didn't know how big the blast radius was, but they looked to be only about the size of two palms, so they probably wouldn't be able to blow up a large area. However, they should be enough to blow up this table and the people at this table.
She only has one and a half minutes left in her invisibility cloak, but planting a bomb and moving to another table should be enough time.
When she came down, she observed that Cang Yu and the other two's tables were not in this area, but closer to the platform-like area, a bit far from where they were. Planting two bombs would definitely not affect them.
Lin Yue listened to the noise again, and after confirming that no one was bending down to pick up the tableware, she immediately took the bomb out of the space and gently stuck it to the back of the table with double-sided tape and transparent tape. In case it didn't kill, she stuck both bombs together. Then she quickly moved to hide under the table.
Thankfully, the banquet hall wasn't full of people from the entire base, otherwise it would have been really inconvenient for her to hide under the table.
Hiding under a table two tables away, Lin Yue's invisibility cloak ran out of time. After only a few minutes of hiding, thunderous applause erupted outside, and Cen Shen finally arrived, albeit belatedly.
Lin Yue calculated the time, and when Cen Shen walked to the front, she pressed the remote control button in her hand and hid in the space at the same time.
Two loud bangs were heard in the middle of the banquet hall. The table was blown to pieces, and the people sitting at the table were blown away and lay dead on the ground.
As the explosion rang out, Cang Yu sprang into action, drawing his newly acquired pistol and aiming it at Cen Shen.
Although Lin Yue hadn't told him about planting a bomb, they had discussed the potential chaos beforehand, so they didn't seem flustered.
He pulled the trigger, but Cen Shen reacted quickly, pulling over a bodyguard to block the bullet.
