Chapter 214 Someone Breaks into the Safe House in the Middle of the Night
Shen Jiaojiao was furious that Lin Muyan would completely ignore her.
Mrs. Shen kept cursing, calling Lin Muyan an ingrate, a heartless wretch, and vicious and selfish.
The curses were so filthy that it was hard to imagine that they came from a former wealthy woman.
[This is truly an eye-opener; I never imagined Mrs. Shen would have so many swear words.]
[Do rich people also use such foul language? Her insults are incredibly vicious!]
Being rich doesn't equate to being cultured and well-mannered. Clearly, Mrs. Shen is a truly exasperating person, and even Shen Shiqiu seems to dislike her.
[Birds of a feather flock together. I now think that Shen Jiaojiao's image collapse was entirely destined. These three are clearly from the same family; each one is more wicked than the last!]
The comments section was increasingly filled with dislike for the three members of the Shen family, with many viewers hoping that Lin Muyan would go out and take them down.
Lin Muyan pouted; she didn't want to get her hands dirty.
She's now openly telling everyone that she has no shortage of supplies.
Then, there will inevitably be malicious people who will try every means to steal supplies from her.
The three members of the Shen family will definitely have ulterior motives as well.
She was just waiting for these people to come to her door.
Shen Jiaojiao and Mrs. Shen cursed outside for a while until Shen Shiqiu reminded them, at which point they left, still grumbling.
In the dead of night, things were not peaceful at the villa on the hillside.
Beneath the tranquil exterior, undercurrents surged, especially near the safe house, where many figures darted about in the shadows.
The news of the exchange of goods here in the evening had spread throughout the entire mountain, and even the two upscale residential communities at the foot of the mountain had heard about it.
Just as Lin Muyan had guessed, the commotion during the day would surely attract many shady characters.
Most of those who are lurking in the shadows are still lying in wait, waiting for their chance.
Among them, a few were people who traded crystal cores for supplies during the day, but most were petty people who didn't have crystal cores or didn't want to put in the effort and just wanted to freeload.
Lin Muyan deliberately didn't sleep well today, and she's now fully awake.
She quietly entered the monitoring room, where several large screens switched to scenes of the area around the safe house.
Several people did not make any attempt to conceal themselves, so Lin Muyan spotted them immediately.
In addition, she also paid close attention to the movements of the Rong family and the Shen family.
The Rong family was closest to the safe house; with such a large-scale operation during the day, it was impossible for them not to have noticed.
Lin Muyan thought, how could someone like Rong Muchen not know how to have crooked thoughts?
Sure enough, Lin Muyan quickly spotted several figures standing by the window on the second floor of the Rong family's house through the mini greenbottle flies.
Rong Muchen's meddlesome and arrogant grandmother was also there. The old woman was resilient and is still alive.
You should know that those four old fogies who were living in the Shen family are now buried in the Shen family's backyard, rotting and stinking.
As the Rong family patriarch held the same authority as the Rong family patriarch, even in times of scarcity, no one would dare to target her family members from her hometown.
There was also movement at the Shen family's place. The back door opened, and Shen Jiaojiao and her two companions were sneaking around, heading towards Lin Muyan's safe house. They seemed to be carrying something in their hands, indicating that they had come prepared.
Lin Muyan immediately sat up straight, somewhat expectant. How would these guys who wanted to do bad things break into the safe house?
Many people at the scene knew that the Lin family's outer wall was strange, as it was connected to high-voltage electricity, so no one should be foolish enough to try to climb over the wall and get in.
Shen Jiaojiao gripped the weapon in her hand tightly, already planning in her mind that once she entered the Lin family's gate, she would first torture Lin Muyan.
She had it all planned out: first, slap Lin Muyan a few times, then scratch her face, and finally, kill her!
Anyway, it's the apocalypse now, so it's perfectly normal for someone to die.
The authorities are urging that any dead bodies found be cremated on the spot to prevent mutations.
Therefore, murder and arson will not be suspected now!
Suddenly, Shen Shiqiu stopped Shen Jiaojiao.
"Don't rush over yet. I see there are still people nearby. Let's observe them discreetly before making any plans."
Shen Shiqiu was much more stable than Shen Jiaojiao and Mrs. Shen. He not only wanted to seize Lin Muyan's house and all her belongings, but also wanted to obtain them easily without taking any risks.
There were other people nearby who were also interested in breaking into the Lin family, so they could simply hold back and see if there was any chance of them reaping the benefits.
Sure enough, some people couldn't wait any longer.
"Damn it, you're all such cowards, then let me do it!"
As they were talking, three burly men emerged from behind a nearby dead tree.
They had a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) air about them and didn't look like the original residents of the hillside villas. They probably snuck in and took over during the natural disaster.
Such people are more willing to go all out.
The three men were holding several bottles, and the people lying in wait nearby all turned to look at them.
The next second, flames erupted.
The three men lit the bottles in their hands, and flames shot out of the bottle openings.
The light from the flame quickly revealed that the bottle contained a suspicious liquid, which turned out to be a homemade kerosene bottle.
If you smash a lit oil bottle, the bottle will shatter, and the oil will ignite and splatter everywhere, just like a small bomb.
Lin Muyan also realized that these were specially made Molotov cocktails. Such things are the best homemade weapons to deal with zombie hordes, but these three people actually wanted to use such methods to rob her safe house.
In front of the screen, Lin Muyan's lips curled slightly, her expression cold. She clearly had a premonition of what was about to happen and waited quietly.
"I'll count to three, then we'll smash it together. Make sure to smash it in the yard, and aim carefully!"
As long as a disturbance is caused, there's always an opportunity to sneak in amidst the chaos; that's basically what everyone thinks.
So when they appeared, people in the shadows kept a close watch, praying in their hearts that they would succeed.
The burly man at the head of the group began to count down as soon as he finished speaking.
When they shouted "One," the three of them simultaneously exerted all their strength and smashed the Molotov cocktails into the air.
With that parabolic trajectory and that throwing force, those three Molotov cocktails would definitely be able to clear the high wall and smash into the yard.
The fire will spread rapidly due to the oil splattering from the bottle.
When the flames are raging, I don't believe Lin Muyan will be able to sleep.
In the blink of an eye, the Molotov cocktail was about to fly over the high wall and crash into the yard.
But the next second, a silver light suddenly flashed across the empty space on the wall.
Immediately afterwards, the three Molotov cocktails seemed to encounter an invisible barrier of soft elasticity; instead of moving forward or being smashed along the way, they bounced back in a bizarre manner.
The force with which the three men threw the Molotov cocktail will determine the force with which it bounces back.
And because no one expected this to happen, the Molotov cocktail bounced off very quickly, catching the three of them completely off guard.
The next second, the sound of the bottle shattering rang out.
At the same time, three streaks of fire quickly spread out.
With a piercing scream shattering the night sky, the three of them reaped what they sowed within seconds, engulfed by the flames of the Molotov cocktail.
