Leng Luo stared at the dimly lit room, her eyes wary.
"Could it be that they're keeping some kind of animal?"
Let me tell you, don't underestimate animals these days. Even animals have mutated, and some even have superpowers.
Li Xin'er stepped inside without any warning.
"You know quite a lot."
Leng Luo quickly followed, saying nonchalantly:
"A lot of people know about it."
The moment I entered the room, a beam of cool white light illuminated the interior.
Li Xin'er turned around and saw Leng Luo waving the flashlight in his hand at her.
"Fortunately, I was well prepared."
The clanging of chains interrupted their conversation.
Leng Luo shone her light in the direction of the sound, and the scene before her almost made her drop the flashlight.
In a dirty, messy corner, five disheveled women, dressed in only thin clothes, were huddled together.
You can see that their feet are chained together, which is the source of the noise.
Not far from them, there was a large iron basin with food scraps still in it, and a wooden bucket that smelled of feces and urine.
They huddled together, some trembling with their heads down, others staring at Li Xin'er and her companion in terror.
Compared to the calm Li Xin'er, Leng Luo was clearly a person of strong emotions; she clenched her fists, her expression angry.
"A bunch of beasts!"
As she spoke, she took out a snow-white down comforter from her spatial storage, and carrying the comforter, she walked forward.
Her actions caused a woman to cover her head with her hands and scream repeatedly.
The others remained unmoved by her actions, their eyes devoid of light, staring blankly.
Leng Luo stepped forward, draped the blanket over the five people, and gently comforted them.
"Don't be afraid, she killed all those beasts, and no one will be able to bully you anymore."
As she spoke, she pointed to Li Xin'er behind her.
"Her? She's really good. I can't even beat her."
Her words were quite effective; the frightened person gradually quieted down and tentatively looked up at Li Xin'er.
Li Xin'er could now see her face clearly. She was probably in her early twenties, no more than thirty, and the youngest of the five. There was a wound on the right side of her face, running from her eyebrow to her cheek.
Judging from the wound, it looks like it was caused by self-harm. It was not treated after the injury and is now inflamed with an abscess.
Under the light, the untreated wound looked particularly terrifying and gruesome.
Leng Luo was also startled and almost collapsed onto her bottom.
Li Xin'er couldn't bear to look at her anymore. She clearly looked like a mature and domineering woman, but in reality...
Li Xin'er stepped forward, squatted down, and directly lifted the down comforter in front of their feet.
The terrified woman began shaking her head frantically again, struggling and twisting her entire body, kicking and pushing with her hands and feet.
She started crying and making a scene.
"No! No! Waaah... Don't come any closer!"
Leng Luo watched from the side, her eyes filled with unbearable sorrow.
"Be quiet, don't scare her."
Li Xin'er offered no comfort, but instead quickened her movements, swiftly grabbing the iron chain on the woman's foot and squeezing it with her bare hands.
The next second, the originally thick iron chain, like putty, became limp and splintered into pieces.
Her move caused everyone except the woman who was in a state of mental confusion, Leng Luo and the other women, to widen their eyes in astonishment.
Li Xin'er removed the iron chains from their feet one by one.
Leng Luo, standing beside her, jumped three feet high, as if she had discovered the answer to a riddle that had puzzled her for a long time, and excitedly shouted:
"I know! It's a power type! No wonder you can still beat me now... you've awakened a power type."
Now she had nothing to doubt about life. No matter how much she trained, she couldn't beat a strength-based character.
It's because she awakened a spatial ability, not a physical one.
However, her spatial abilities are also quite good; she's an expert at storing things, making it convenient to carry supplies during the apocalypse.
Leng Luo comforted herself inwardly.
The shackles on all five women were removed. Li Xin'er stood up, glanced at Leng Luo, who was smugly looking at her with her chin slightly raised, believing she had guessed correctly.
Then, to her even greater astonishment, he took out a steaming white towel from his spatial storage and deliberately wiped his hands slowly.
Leng Luo pointed incredulously at the towel that had suddenly appeared in her hand.
"you···"
Li Xin'er casually tossed the towel aside and took out a handheld flashlight that was even bigger and brighter than the one Leng Luo was holding.
He carried it and swaggered towards the stairs, ready to continue upstairs.
Leng Luo was so angry that she jumped up and down and screamed.
"Ah! Li Xin'er!"
This woman is despicable and hateful! Is this person showing off and mocking her? So how many superpowers does she actually have?!
In response, she heard Li Xin'er's teasing words, deliberately emphasizing the word "friend," drifting from the corner of the stairs.
"Aren't you coming? Haven't I been looking for you... my friend?"
Leng Luo was about to retort that with the whole forest there, that one small tree was better off gone.
But he didn't hesitate at all in action. He turned on the flashlight, placed it on the table next to him to continue illuminating the first floor, and followed along happily.
There are five rooms on the second floor, along with a large living room. The living room is much cleaner than the one on the first floor.
There was still some uneaten food on the coffee table, and Leng Luo couldn't resist making a teasing remark.
"These people are fed better than those at the official base."
Li Xin'er walked towards a door, casually trying to elicit information from Leng Luo as she went.
"The official base in City S?"
"Um."
"You live over there?"
"No, I just went to take a look."
Upon opening the door, they found a young girl on a messy bed, clutching the blankets tightly, her eyes brimming with tears, looking at them with fear and anxiety.
