It was like an invisible hand was pushing her gently yet firmly, signaling her to leave.
About two hours had passed. Su Wan silently estimated the time in her mind, not a minute more, not a minute less.
The repulsive force suddenly increased. She felt a flash before her eyes and her body became strangely lighter. The next moment, she was back in the room of the villa, still sitting cross-legged in the same position as before. The feeling under her butt changed from the solid ground in space back to the soft mattress.
Back.
Su Wan blinked, and almost without pausing, she tried again. As soon as she thought of it, the familiar suction force appeared again, and she successfully entered the space again. As expected! She almost wanted to laugh out loud.
After coming out of the space, she carefully felt her physical condition and touched her forehead. She did not feel the fatigue and weakness that usually comes after overdrawing mental energy. It was just a little bit of natural tiredness after doing normal activities for a period of time.
She even tried to walk around a few times in the space and moved a box of biscuits - the weight was real, and it seemed that she couldn't move it out of thin air, and she had to rely on her own strength. She also tried to sort out a few bags of rice and put them in order. When doing these, she didn't feel any mental energy consumption, just like working outside normally.
Two hours, no more, no less. Once you come out of the space, you can immediately re-enter and start counting your stay time all over again.
If she encounters an irresistible danger, she can hide directly in this space! As long as her reaction is fast enough, this is simply an extra life!
She looked up and out the window - of course, this was just the scene "outside the window" in her consciousness, there was no real window in the space.
Lu Shiyan's figure was still upright on the training ground, and the sound of gunfire was steady and powerful, striking her heart one by one.
It's late at night.
Su Wan lay on the bed, stroking her bulging belly. The skin was stretched tightly, the curve was amazing, and it felt heavy to the touch.
"Baby..." Her voice was a little dry.
In those apocalyptic novels, the horrific plot in which the heroine becomes pregnant and the fetus madly absorbs the mother's energy, until the mother is finally drained dry and turned into an empty shell, exploded uncontrollably in her mind and replayed over and over again.
Will she? Will she become like that?
She subconsciously touched her cheeks and found that she had indeed lost some weight, with her eye sockets becoming sunken.
A strong feeling of suffocation seized her, and her heart was pounding in her chest, almost jumping out of her throat. She tried desperately to get rid of those terrible thoughts, but she couldn't do it.
In her world, she was just a 19-year-old college student. She didn't even know how to calculate the pregnancy cycle. Was it 4 months now? Or 5 months?
Sudden!
Her stomach suddenly twitched, and the baby... seemed to be responding to her...
"No!"
"No! We...we will never become like that!" She pressed her hands tightly against her abdomen, her knuckles turning bluish-white from the force.
"Isn't that right...baby?" The end of her voice was broken, carrying with it a despair that she herself had not even noticed and a faint hint of pleading.
She was scared, she was really scared to death.
Lu Shiyan had just finished dealing with some matters and walked to Su Wan's door. When he was about to knock on the door, he paused.
The room was well soundproofed, but it couldn't stop his extremely keen hearing. A suppressed, almost inaudible sob came on and off.
He raised his hand, his knuckles hanging half an inch in front of the door, and finally slowly lowered it. His palm clenched silently, with distinct joints, and then slowly loosened.
Her fear and helplessness were clearly conveyed through her suppressed cries.
He couldn't wait any longer. He had to take the initiative and completely disrupt all of Scorpion's deployments, forcing him to reveal his last trump card in advance.
In the following week, Lu Shiyan's actions became more ruthless and more decisive. Often, he would get relevant intelligence the day before, and the next day, an important base or a capable contact of Scorpion's men would completely disappear from the base without even a trace.
Lei Lao Hu was happy to see this happen, and even took the initiative to provide more manpower and material support. Under the joint attack of his old rival and the evil star Lu Shiyan, Scorpion was defeated step by step, his sphere of influence was constantly eroded and compressed, and he was almost pinned to the most chaotic edge of Zone B, barely surviving.
Every time the name "Lu Shiyan" reached his ears, the hatred in Scorpion's heart became stronger, and his already fierce face became more distorted and ferocious. He knew better than anyone that if this continued, it would not take more than two months for Lei Lao Hu to completely wipe him out from this base along with everything he had accumulated through hard work over the years!
“Lei Lao Hu! Lu Shiyan!” Scorpion stared at the wall with bloodshot eyes, his teeth clattering as if he wanted to chew up and swallow these two names. “Since you guys pushed me to this point, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Let’s fight to the death!”
He suddenly pulled out a palm-sized, pitch-black, oddly shaped communicator from his arms. There was no manufacturer's logo on the communicator, only a few buttons arranged in a strange manner, exuding an ominous aura.
Scorpion stared at the communicator, his chest rising and falling violently, as if he had made up his mind. He turned on the communicator, put it to his mouth, and in a very low and hoarse voice, he quickly spoke a few meaningless bytes to the other end of the communicator, sending a highly encrypted message.
After doing all this, a hideous sneer slowly spread across his face, a smile filled with the madness of destroying both himself and his enemy and the resentment of risking everything.
"Just wait...soon, everyone in this entire base will be buried with you for your stupidity!"
Lu Shiyan stood by the window on the second floor of his new residence, overlooking the twinkling lights of Area A. The night wind blew his hair, and in the room behind him, Su Wan seemed to have fallen asleep, and her breathing gradually became steady and long.
"The scorpion must be unable to hold back any longer." He spoke in a soft voice, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the night outside the window.
"Is he going to contact someone outside the base?" Su Wan woke up at some point, or maybe she hadn't really fallen asleep. She sat up from the bed, the quilt slipped off her shoulders, and her voice was still a little hoarse and lazy from just waking up.
Lu Shiyan turned his head. There was no light in the room, and it was hard to see the specific expression on his face in the darkness. Only his eyes were particularly bright in the night, and his voice was as calm as ever: "The net has been cast, and we are just waiting for the fish to hit it."
This is the moment he has been waiting for.
Lei Lao Hu thought he was in control of everything and regarded him as the sharpest knife, while Scorpion thought he could still fight back and fight to the death.
Little did they know that they were all just carefully calculated chess pieces on his chessboard.
This scene is just about to enter its real climax.
There was a hurried knock on the office door from outside.
"Boss!" Li Kui's voice came from outside the door with suppressed anxiety and nervousness, "Over in Area B... the Scorpion people seem to be making a big move! Our spy over there just desperately reported that they are gathering manpower on a large scale, and... and it seems that a lot of unfamiliar faces have infiltrated the stronghold! They don't look like people from the base!"
