Lin Man in the Apocalypse

For seventeen years in the apocalypse, the fields yielded no crops. Lin Man and her mother struggled daily on the brink of starvation and thirst, until one day, she obtained a space.

Chapter 43

Lin Man knew very early on that her weaknesses were that she had too few means of attack and too little experience, so she always wondered how she could improve her chances of winning if she fought with others, and then she came up with a lot of little gadgets.

Not to mention all the homemade and non-homemade weapons, there were also rocks large enough to smash a person into a pancake and small enough to be used as hidden weapons. She had a lot of them in her space, as well as limestone powder, sand, and black, dirty, and smelly sewage that could be used as a biological weapon...

Then, while tidying up her space, she discovered that the few chili peppers she'd harvested were incredibly delicious. She picked a few stems and accidentally wiped them in her eyes, which were so spicy that she couldn't open them for a long time. Lin's mother also said that chili spray is a very effective anti-wolf weapon.

Lin Man thought that he had no conditions to eat chili peppers now, so he kept a few as seeds and replanted them. He soaked the rest into chili water and ground the rest into powder for later use.

Maybe the time was not enough, or the method of soaking the chili water was wrong, and the chili water was not spicy enough. So when the hammer man rushed out of the house, she sprinkled chili powder without thinking.

"Ah!" The hammer had never expected this. His ability was not like some people's, which could form a barrier instantly. He hurriedly blocked with his right hand, but Lin Man's chili powder was not ordinary chili powder. Not only was it spicy enough, it was also wrapped in mental power.

She nimbly moved around his hands and slapped them all over his face, with the eyes, nose and mouth being the most prominent areas.

Hammer felt like he was going to die in an instant. The spiciness and choking made his mind go blank. He wiped his face desperately, coughed, and sneezed. In an instant, tears and snot came out, and he was going crazy.

But it was only for a moment. After all, he was a strong-willed mutant. He immediately swung his hammer to fight.

Lin Man jumped up and punched him hard on the solar plexus.

She was extremely strong, and her punch was filled with spiritual energy, so it weighed at least three or four hundred pounds. However, Hammer was a superpower, and he only staggered and did not fall. He swung the hammer with his consciousness.

Lin Man sighed and regretted that he didn't carry the big stone out of the space.

She couldn't dodge in time and hugged the hammer. This guy was stronger than her: "Control him, absorb his spiritual energy!!!"

Needless to say, Lin Man knew that the hammer in that guy's hand was simply a ball of spiritual energy in Guan Guan's eyes, and it was sucking it in at full speed.

The hammer immediately became bright and dim, and its size visibly shrank rapidly.

The hammer man finally panicked and tried to break free from Lin Man, but Lin Man held his hand tightly. The two men rolled to the ground while fighting. In a few breaths, the hammer became the size of a pen tip, and the hammer man felt his physical energy beginning to be sucked away.

"Get out of here!" he shouted in panic, but his body began to go weak and his hands and feet soon became limp.

Lin Man sensed his change and looked up. He was pale and his pupils had shrunk to the size of a needle tip. He was startled and asked, "What happened to him?"

"Lin Man, I can actually absorb the spiritual energy in his body!"

Lin Man hurriedly said, "That's enough! Stop it! He looks like he's going to die!"

Lin Man didn't want to kill anyone. After all, at least for now, these people didn't rush to her and shout for killing. If she wanted to kill someone, she would have to kill five people including Lu Youjie in one go. If she wanted to keep it secret, would she have to kill all five members of the Zhao family as well?

Lin Man couldn't be that cruel, and she felt that she didn't have the ability.

"Oh." Guan Guan withdrew his hand, but the guy was still lying on the ground with his eyes out of focus and half-dead. After a while, his head tilted and he fainted, but fortunately he was still breathing.

Only then did Lin Man realize that a fight had broken out in the house. No wonder no one came out.

She ran to the door and saw a huge fight inside. Zhao's mother and Zhao Hengshui's wife worked together to knock down Lu Youjie's other younger brother, while Zhao Hengshui took a big knife and dealt with Lu Youjie together with Zhao's father.

Father Zhao was indeed a person with special abilities. He held a black axe in his hand and chopped at Lu Youjie. The axe had an explosive skill, which could explode into a pile of patches with a puff. Then, in a blink of an eye, another axe emerged from the black stick in Father Zhao's hand, but none of the explosions hurt Lu Youjie.

And Lu Youjie... he didn't even use his superpowers? Lin Man then remembered that everyone had displayed superpowers during the day, including Lin Cheng, except Lu Youjie, the initiator.

Doesn't he have any special abilities?

Lin Man soon discovered that she was wrong. She found that Lu Youjie's hands had become soft and gray-green. They swung around like rubber, becoming longer and shorter. If you were accidentally hit, your skin would crackle, smoke, and turn black.

Damn, what kind of stupid superpower is this?

No wonder he didn't show it, it's so ugly. Others are so cool with ice and fire, but you conjure up two rubber hands that look like they were poisoned?

Totally low class, okay?

Guan Guan was also stunned and whispered to Lin Man, "Lin Man, I don't really want to absorb this person's spiritual energy."

Seeing that the three people in the yard were all unconscious, Lin Man took out a knife from the space and said, "The essence is spiritual energy. His spiritual energy is not so ugly."

"But it's disgusting."

You are absorbing spiritual energy, not eating, so why do you need an appetite?

Lin Man didn't have time to complain. Seeing Lu Youjie's rubber hand suddenly stretched out and wrapped around Zhao's father's neck, she swung out a knife and cut his rubber hand, but it didn't cut off and bounced away!

Lu Youjie stretched out his other hand and wrapped it around Zhao Hengshui's neck. Just as he was about to turn around to see who was attacking him, Lin Man gritted his teeth, took out a large bucket from the space, rushed in, jumped up, and turned the entire bucket upside down on Lu Youjie's head. The dark sewage flowed all over him.

"Ugh!" Lu Youjie vomited loudly, and retracted his rubber hands to slap Lin Man.

Lin Man turned over and stood up, pressing on the bucket, standing upside down on Lu Youjie's head, hooking her feet on the beam above. Seeing Lu Youjie waving his two rubber hands, she shouted in her heart: "Guan Guan, suck, suck!"

Guan Guan was reluctant but didn't dare to delay any longer: "Lin Man, you have to touch his hand, so that I can absorb faster and absorb the spiritual energy in his body."

We share happiness and hardship together! How could it be the only one that was disgusted?

Lin Man looked at the rubber hand that was about to hit her. There were many bumps on the surface, and pus was oozing out.

She really couldn't do it.

Before she could make up her mind, Lu Youjie had already fallen down with the bucket on his head. He pulled it twice, but there was no movement.

Lin Man jumped down and surrounded the guy with the frightened Zhao family members. They carefully moved the bucket away, revealing Lu Youjie's face, which was covered with sewage but still looked extremely pale. His mouth, face and body were all covered with his own vomit.

Lin Man was a little shocked. Was sewage so powerful?

Seeing that Lu Youjie's rubber hand was about to turn into a normal hand, she quickly stepped on it and said, "Guan Guan, can you suck it?"

Guan Guan: “…Yes.”

Before the rubber hand completely disappeared, Guan Guan absorbed most of the energy in Lu Youjie's body, and none of the Zhao family members present noticed.

"The hands disappeared and can't absorb anything." Guan Guan said.

Lin Man understood a little. When a person with superpowers uses his superpowers, it is like opening a valve. Only then can the energy in his body be absorbed through this valve. Otherwise, it cannot be absorbed.

At this time, the Zhao family, who had relaxed a little, finally smelled the stench of sewage and the sour smell of filth in the house, and everyone couldn't help but vomit.

Lin Man also smelled it and covered his mouth and nose. Well, it was really powerful.

After a lot of trouble, the five people were tied up and thrown into the house. Lin Man and Zhao Hengshui stood in the yard and asked him what his plans were.

In another room, Zhao's mother was treating his father's burns from the rubber hand. Zhao Hengshui clutched his neck and said, "We definitely can't stay here any longer."

They didn't dare to kill Lu Youjie, fearing that they would be retaliated against by the Dongyang base, but Lu Youjie would not let them go either. The only option now was to leave.

Lin Man didn't say sorry for making you unable to return home and wandering around the world. She guessed that the family was going to leave anyway, but they should plan to leave when Zhao's mother was able to walk freely.

"We'll leave early tomorrow morning." Zhao Hengshui didn't say anything about us ending up like this because of you. He had been prepared for this day since he planned to change the dressings. He glanced back at the room, "But we can't leave like this. The world outside is definitely more dangerous and difficult than the base."

"what you up to?"

"Lu Youjie is here, so his place is empty. He has a lot of good things there."

Lin Man saw his eyes and realized that he was trying to recruit her. She said, "Aren't you afraid of offending the Dongyang base?"

"I've already offended him severely, so taking a few more things wouldn't be a big deal, but killing Lu Youjie is a completely different matter."

In that case, Dongyang Base might issue a wanted order for the sake of face, but if they just beat Lu Youjie up and stole his things, it would mean that Lu Youjie was incompetent. For the sake of face, Dongyang Base and even Lu Youjie himself would not make it public, but would only settle the score with the Zhao family in secret. In that way, the threat would be much smaller.

The world is so big, and he is not the only one with Dongyang base.

Well, that seems to be the case. Lin Man said, "But it's not necessarily empty there. He only brought four people here."

"I checked. There were only thirteen people with him and the others at the Nanming base this time. Because they had to send Sweet Potato back to the Dongyang base, Lu Youjie had his most capable assistant personally escort him. He also sent four other capable people along, so there were only seven people left with him."

There are four here, so there are only three places to live.

"They are not even superpowered yet."

Zhao Hengshui saw that Lin Man knocked down three people by himself, one of whom was a psychic. Lu Youjie was defeated because of her timely support. He had a comprehensive understanding of Lin Man's strength. This was one of the reasons why he did not make any complaints, but immediately asked Lin Man to cooperate.

He continued, "I also heard that Lu Youjie brought two doses of nerve repair medicine. I took one, and the other was supposed to be used for a deal with the base leader, but that deal hasn't been completed yet."

Lin Man's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll do it."
