Chapter 52 The First Warning Before the End of the World
Inside the enclosure, there is a thick and towering wall that blocks the outside world.
At first glance, it appears to be made of ordinary black stone paint, elegant, dignified, and with a touch of mystery. But upon closer inspection and touch, you'll find a cool sensation creeping into your palm and instantly spreading throughout your body.
“Miss Lin, the outer wall of the safe house is extremely hard. Even with your highest level of military force, you cannot damage it in the slightest. Moreover, it is densely covered with a radioactive high-voltage network. If anyone tries to climb over the wall, you can activate the high-voltage device to instantly electrocute them to ashes.”
Lin Muyan was terrified and instantly flung her hand away from the wall.
"Don't panic, there is no possibility of leakage. As long as the high-voltage device is not triggered, it is absolutely safe."
But Lin Muyan still felt that the wall was too dangerous and dared not touch it again.
Wow, this is incredibly advanced! If even the most powerful weaponry can't break through it, then it's practically indestructible! This kind of safe house must be incredibly high-spec, right?
[This is just the outermost layer of protection for the safe house. Don't forget, the inside is the real battleground. Did you see those laser cannon-like things on the roof? Those are the killer weapons.]
[That brat lives so well, she doesn't give anyone else a chance to live.]
Then, Lin Muyan noticed that the original lawn and garden in the mansion's courtyard were gone, replaced by several functional areas, two ponds, and several fertile plots of land.
At this point, the other party introduced:
"The reservoir has a filtration system to store natural rainwater, which can be drunk directly after filtration. The soil in these areas has been treated with special technology to adapt to the growth of various plants. You can grow vegetables here."
Lin Muyan was taken aback upon hearing this. It turned out that the safe house had even taken these things into account. However, since she already had a portable planting space and a spring, these functional areas seemed somewhat redundant.
Further in, you'll find the actual residential area.
The mansion originally had three floors above ground and one basement level with a mezzanine. After the renovation, the above-ground space remained the same, but it was extended downwards by three floors, making a total of seven floors.
It took Lin Muyan a full three hours to fully understand the entire mansion, and she was already filled with amazement.
The viewers in the live chat were also dumbfounded.
[The first floor is a common area, the top two floors are habitable, the basement level houses the control system and parking garage, the entire second basement level is an entertainment space with a home theater, karaoke room, and a professional fitness area, and the remaining two floors are storage space. This is outrageous! This isn't the end of the world, it's practically a paradise!]
[Alright, this is my home now, Lin Muyan, get out!]
[I'd be happy to live here even in the apocalypse! That brat Lin Muyan has never suffered a single day of hardship; I'm so envious!]
The comments on the screen were sour, and Lin Muyan couldn't suppress the smirk on her face.
Hahaha! Who can argue with that? She's never had a single day of hardship. For others, the end of the world is a real end, but for her, it's just another place to continue enjoying life.
After the safe house was handed over, Lin Muyan requested that the fence not be removed immediately, and the other party naturally agreed.
She took some pictures of the mansion, thinking about adding some furniture and appliances that would match the overall decorating style, otherwise it would be a waste.
On the way back to the Lin family's house in the urban village, an accident occurred.
The once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, with black clouds looming overhead.
Immediately afterwards, deafening thunder rolled in, and lightning, like a hideous scar, spread from the sky to the ground, forming a spider web.
This sudden change in weather plunged the entire city of S into panic, with pedestrians rushing to nearby buildings.
Lin Muyan was also startled. After calming down, she quickly pulled over and parked the car to observe the surrounding situation.
[It's happened! The first natural warning of the apocalypse has appeared!]
[It should be hailing in another hour, right? Then comes a torrential downpour and strong winds, with the temperature plummeting to minus twenty degrees Celsius, but it'll return to normal overnight.]
If this extreme weather had lasted a few more days, many people might have stockpiled supplies just in case. Unfortunately, the heavens aren't that kind.
[It seems fate is playing a trick; it's already begun selecting the best humans. Those who aren't smart enough, alert enough, or strong enough will be eliminated by natural selection and die in the apocalypse. Very few humans will survive.]
Lin Muyan watched the comments scroll across the screen, her heart heavy.
Nature is enraged, and the human mortality rate will definitely be high this time. I just hope everyone can be vigilant and stockpile some supplies.
However, once the apocalypse arrives, over time, social order will collapse, productivity will grind to a halt, and resources will become increasingly scarce, turning into luxuries.
Lin Muyan was incredibly grateful that she hadn't chosen to stay with the Shen family and had come to her senses in time.
Of course, the comments also played a part; without them, she might not have been able to even activate the golden shovel function.
The lightning and thunder became more and more frequent, and Lin Muyan dared not delay, so she quickly started the car and headed towards the Lin family home.
Xiao Nuan is at school and should be safe. Her older brother is not on fieldwork today; he's in a meeting at his workplace, so he's also safe. Only her parents' safety is uncertain, so she must go home.
Lin Muyan pressed the accelerator all the way and finally arrived back at the Lin family home after forty minutes.
Fortunately, my parents are at home. They have been stockpiling supplies these days. Yesterday, they bought some vegetables that can be dried and are drying them in the yard.
"Mom and Dad, hurry up and bring all these vegetables inside, it's going to hail."
Ignoring her exhaustion, Lin Muyan immediately bent down and began to tidy up the dried vegetables.
This is, after all, the fruit of my parents' labor; it's food they stockpiled themselves, and we can't let it go to waste.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin were so frightened by the strange weather that they dared not utter a sound. Mrs. Lin became even more convinced that the apocalypse was coming, as said online, and she was extremely anxious.
Upon hearing Lin Muyan's words, the two joined the harvesting team without hesitation.
Just as they were bringing all the dried vegetables into the hut, hail began to fall.
"Oh my God, is this really the end of the world? What are we going to do?"
"I'm going to call Teacher Xiaonuan. You should also call your son and let him know he's safe."
Lin's father remained relatively calm and immediately turned around to go inside to get his phone.
Lin Muyan looked up at the dark sky. The exhilaration she had felt from the safe house inspection vanished in an instant, and she calmed down.
This was just a small warning before the end of the world, yet she already felt as if the sky was about to fall. Suffocation and fear lingered in her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
If the end of the world really comes, what will it be like?
Human beings are like ants in the face of natural disasters and upheavals.
Lin Muyan took a deep breath and stared intently at the wooden shovel lying in the most conspicuous place in the space before her heart calmed down a little.
Don't panic, with the golden shovel in hand, she is already a million times better than others.
