"I know you also have spatial abilities, but I'm not here to persuade you to surrender. On the contrary, I'm here to remind you that you'd better find a chance to escape as soon as possible. You have the ability to escape, don't you? I know that you stole Boss Gao's ship full of oil."
Lu Ling spoke each word with such certainty that it was as if he had witnessed it himself.
As expected of the male lead, even in this wretched state, he can still maintain a clear head.
After all, he and Liang Qingzhi were in the same field of study, and he knew that petroleum was one of the essential raw materials for materials like light screens.
A screen of this size must have used a lot of oil.
Where did all this crude oil come from? A little thought will make it clear.
If that's the case, then Jin Shu's abilities are far more than just possessing space. What kind of ability could empty an entire merchant ship in an instant without leaving any trace?
So Lu Ling had a bold idea.
"In this apocalyptic world, it seems that some people have indeed evolved superpowers. You not only have the ability to create space, but also the ability to freeze time, don't you?"
Jin Shu glanced at him indifferently.
Unexpectedly, the male lead was even smarter than I had imagined.
She didn't deny it, which meant she admitted it. Lu Ling took a deep breath and looked at Jin Shu, all his previous doubts were now resolved.
No wonder she was able to take over the base in a short time and leave no opportunity for others. Thinking back, they were foolishly guarding the door before, but in the end they only saw one person leave and the house was empty.
Looking back, Lu Ling couldn't help but laugh at himself.
He was just an ordinary person, yet he dared to challenge a superhuman with the ability to freeze time and space.
He has completely lost his former sharpness and ambition.
He couldn't live with the Black Dragon Gang any longer, so he came to find Jin Shu, and he had only one purpose in saying all this.
"I won't tell them any of this. I only have one request: accept me and let me join you."
Since all four of them can do it, I'm sure I can do it too.
Jin Shu, give me a chance, I just want to live.
He spoke with heartfelt sincerity, his eyes brimming with genuine emotion.
If it were someone else, they might have been persuaded by this outstanding young man who was so resilient and knew when he had gone astray.
But Jin Shu just yawned and then asked.
"If I let you in and assigned you to clean, serve tea and water to all of us, and prepare three meals a day—a kind of maid-like job—would you still be willing to join us?"
Lu Ling paused for a moment, a flash of sinister resentment crossing his eyes.
But he quickly agreed.
"I can do anything to stay alive."
Jin Shu nodded.
"Since you're having trouble even surviving in the Black Dragon Gang, I'm willing to give you a chance."
Before Lu Ling could even feel happy, Jin Shu added another sentence.
"But as you know, I am a very cautious person, so everyone who joins us must pass my test."
Here, take your leg.
Jin Shu pointed to Lu Ling's only remaining good leg and then smiled slightly.
"Cut off this leg, and I'll let you in."
Lu Ling's expression quickly froze. He stared at Jin Shu and realized that she wasn't joking at all, so his expression turned extremely cold.
Are you kidding me?
"Are you kidding me or am I kidding you? You can't even survive, why do you care about that leg?"
"What's the point of me living if I lose both my legs! Jin Shu, you can refuse to help me, but you can't insult me!"
Jin Shu couldn't help but laugh when she heard his words.
"I think it's really ridiculous for someone like you, who can watch his former woman lying in another man's arms and remain indifferent, to use the word 'insult'."
Don't you think so yourself?
Jin Shu's words were like a slap in the face to Lu Ling, leaving him with no way to refute them.
"Alright, your dignity is worthless."
"Jin Shu, you'll regret this!"
"If I were you, I'd get lost right now. Aren't you afraid I'll use my powers to kill you silently?"
Of course I'm scared! How could I not be?
Lu Ling was still shaken and dared not say anything. He could only turn around and leave with a stiff face.
Judging from his expression, Fang Yingqiu knew that he had failed.
Useless trash.
She had once thought Lu Ling was someone important.
With such a piece of meat right in front of him, visible but unattainable, how could Boss Gao be willing to leave? So he sent his men to try using all sorts of weapons.
Slashes and hacks, gunfire and ammunition, fire and water—none of it worked. All that did was leave him covered in soot and dirt, while not a single scratch could be seen on the screen.
"The only thing we can do now is to keep watch. No matter how strong the light screen is, I don't believe the people inside can stay inside forever!"
"From today onwards, this hilltop is mine. I'll set up camp here and see how long those guys inside can hold out!"
This is truly the only option left.
Seeing the Black Dragon Gang dock their boat and begin setting up a base on the mountain, the other four people, apart from Liang Qingzhi and Jin Shu, couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"This can't go on forever; we'll run out of food sooner or later."
Jin Shu yawned and muttered something lazily.
"Let them be."
"Since Sister Shu said so, she must have a solution. Let's not worry about it. Today we're planning to upgrade the automatic light screen production machine, so let's get started. We don't have much time left!"
All four of them turned out to be rare workaholics.
With them around, Liang Qingzhi only needed to use her mouth and brain; everything else, from serving tea and water to washing clothes and cooking, would be taken care of for her.
However, geniuses don't need to waste time on trivial matters. A single idea from them can change the future course of human development. So, the four students all said they would die without regrets for serving such a person tea and water.
The automatic light screen production machine requires a lot of raw materials. At six o'clock sharp at night, Jin Shu turned on the light screen on time, changed into her equipment, and began her own nighttime raid.
Outside, there were tents set up by the Black Dragon Gang, and the underlings, all bundled up like bears, sat around the stove, drinking and eating meat.
Because of their arson, murder, and looting, the Black Dragon Gang had plenty of supplies. In addition, Boss Gao was not a stingy person. He ate and drank his fill first, and then his brothers could also enjoy the meat.
Jin Shu swayed around for a moment, then boarded the largest ship belonging to the Black Dragon Gang, which was docked at the beach.
The deck was heavily guarded, with shifts changing throughout the night, and the cabins, which were under tight security, were also locked up.
In the apocalypse, there are no advanced electronic locks, only the simplest and most brutal iron chains.
