43: Chapter 43 Using a borrowed knife to kill, Ye Qingxue is injured!

Time flew by.

The sky soon reached twilight!

Ye Qingxue opened her phone and found that it was already five o'clock.

Therefore, they planned to stay here for the night.

The lights in the sisters' parents' villa were dim, illuminating three weary figures.

Lin Yuan sat in the living room, taking stock of today's harvest.

Two seven-colored snowflakes, like dreamy gems, shimmered with seven-colored light under the lamp.

Ten demon cores!

They were of varying sizes, emitting faint energy fluctuations.

There were also a large amount of supplies scavenged from five villas.

Lin Yuan planned to use these two seven-colored snowflakes after returning.

Of course, he would use them himself.

Lin Yuan carefully put the seven-colored snowflakes into his system space.

Low sobs came from upstairs.

Ye Qingyue was holding Ye Qingxue, and the two were lying on the bed their parents had once slept in.

They had been through too much.

From the despair of being trapped, to meeting Lin Yuan, and then burying their father today... every day felt like walking on the edge of hell.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes, preparing to rest.

But his mind remained alert.

In the Apocalypse, letting your guard down was equivalent to courting death.

Outside the villa.

Behind an abandoned truck, fifteen fully armed men crept closer.

They wore thick cotton coats, gloves, scarves, and masks, wrapping their entire bodies tightly.

The snow in the Apocalypse was poisonous.

Any skin contact would lead to the frost curse, eventually freezing one into an ice sculpture.

This was a survival rule that all survivors had mastered.

The man in the lead was named Liu Kai, in his forties, with a sinister gaze.

He raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

The fifteen men quickly hid behind abandoned vehicles and walls.

"Boss, that's the villa."

A thin subordinate reported in a low voice.

"There are three people inside, two women and one man."

Liu Kai narrowed his eyes, observing the interior of the villa through binoculars.

The lights were dim, but he could see blurry figures.

"That man... is the monster who punched through a wall this afternoon, right?"

The thin subordinate nodded, his voice trembling slightly.

"That's right... Boss, are we really going to do this? That guy is too strong..."

Liu Kai sneered.

"What are you afraid of? We aren't going to fight him head-on."

He turned around and looked at the dozen or so subordinates behind him.

Everyone was looking at him nervously.

"Brothers, you've seen it too, the two women beside that man are truly top-notch!"

"We've been searching for so long in the Apocalypse, and we haven't encountered such top-notch women."

"Opportunities are rare; it's a question of whether we'll encounter them again."

"Don't you brothers want to experience those high-and-mighty goddesses from before the Apocalypse?"

Liu Kai lowered his voice, a greedy light flashing in his eyes.

"Besides, that guy is so strong, he must have eaten a seven-colored snowflake!"

"Don't you want one?"

This information was something he had learned from a man he had killed earlier.

Greed flashed in everyone's eyes, but it was immediately followed by fear.

"But Boss... that guy is too fierce... we can't beat him..."

Liu Kai waved his hand with a cold smile.

"Don't worry, I've already thought it through."

He pointed to the abandoned park next to the villa.

"In that park, there is an evolved Venus flytrap, huge in size, and with terrifying combat power."

"We won't take action directly; we just need to lure that monster over and let it fight that man to the death."

"Once they are both severely injured, we will reap the benefits!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Boss is wise!"

"Haha, this move of borrowing a knife to kill is brilliant!"

"Once we take those two top-notch women, Boss plays first, then the brothers take turns..."

Liu Kai waved his hand to interrupt them.

"Don't get happy too early; let's get down to business."

He turned to look at the truck.

"Drag that useless woman out."

Two burly men immediately walked toward the truck and opened the back compartment.

"No... please... I can do anything... don't kill me!"

A bound woman was dragged out.

She was about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance.

Her body was covered in bruises and scars, and her eyes were filled with despair.

Liu Kai looked at her coldly.

"You're too ugly; keeping you is a waste of food."

"Being bait is your final value."

The woman struggled desperately, but was held down tightly by the two burly men.

"No! Please! I'm willing to do anything!"

She cried out heart-rendingly.

But there was not a trace of pity in Liu Kai's eyes.

"Throw her on the open ground near the villa."

The two burly men dragged the woman toward the park.

The woman struggled crazily, her nails leaving trails of blood on the ground.

"Help—! Help!!!"

She screamed desperately.

But in the night, there was no response.

The burly men threw her onto the open ground and then quickly retreated.

The woman lay in the snow, trembling all over.

She wanted to escape, but the ropes were tied too tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.

"Wuwuwu... no... I don't want to die..."

She cried despairingly.

Suddenly—

"Swish—!"

A black shadow darted out from the depths of the park!

A huge shadow loomed over the woman.

It was a terrifying plant, three meters tall!

The ornamental Venus flytrap, originally only the size of a palm, had now mutated into a nightmare-like monster.

It had five huge "mouths"—each with a diameter exceeding one meter!

The edges of the mouths were covered with sharp barbs, shimmering with a purple-black metallic luster.

Inside the mouths flowed purple digestive juices, emitting a highly toxic, corrosive aura.

"Ahhhhhh—!!!"

The woman let out her final scream.

"Snap—!!!"

One of the giant mouths slammed shut!

The sharp barbs instantly pierced through flesh!

The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible in the night.

The screaming stopped abruptly.

Only the terrifying sound of "chewing" remained...

Liu Kai and the others hid in the shadows; seeing this scene, their faces turned somewhat pale.

"Damn... this monster is truly terrifying..."

one subordinate said, trembling.

Liu Kai took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart.

"It worked! Quick, lure it to the villa!"

They threw stones at the villa's windows, mainly to provoke it.

"Bang! Bang!"

The evolved Venus flytrap had devoured flesh and become even more violent.

It twisted its huge roots and rushed toward the direction of the sound at an astonishing speed.

It was evident that this plant had not fully developed intelligence.

Otherwise, Liu Kai's scheme would be tantamount to playing with fire and burning himself...

Maple Forest Villa!

"Boom—!!!"

The wall was instantly smashed through!

Bricks and stones flew!

The five giant mouths swarmed into the villa crazily!

Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes!

"What is that?!"

He jumped up from the sofa instantly.

A huge hole had been smashed into the living room wall, and a terrifying plant monster was frantically waving its five giant mouths!

"Qingxue! Qingyue! Withdraw from the back door!"

Lin Yuan shouted loudly.

Terrified screams came from the two sisters upstairs.

"Lin Yuan!"

"What is this monster?!"

"Stop talking! Withdraw quickly!"

Lin Yuan grabbed an iron rod nearby and smashed it hard against one of the giant mouths.

"Bang—!!!"

The giant mouth was knocked aside, but the barbs grazed Lin Yuan's arm.

His sleeve was torn, but only a white mark was left on his skin—with a physique of 330, his defensive power was astonishing!

The two sisters rushed down the stairs toward the back door.

But just as they pushed the door open.

Ten fully armed bandits were blocking the doorway!

These few were the vanguard.

Liu Kai had said that as long as they successfully kidnapped the pair of sisters.

They could enjoy them first...

Therefore, there was no shortage of those who were lust-blinded and bold.

"Hehehe... beauties, don't run..."

The leading bandit revealed a lecherous smile.

Ye Qingxue's expression changed, and she immediately pulled her sister back.

"Lin Yuan! There's an ambush at the back door!"

A cold killing intent flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

"As expected... this wasn't an accident..."

He turned around abruptly and kicked the Venus flytrap rushing toward him.

"Get lost!"

"Boom—!!!"

The terrifying power of his 330 physique erupted!

The huge body of the Venus flytrap was kicked flying several meters!

Then, Lin Yuan's figure vanished like a ghost!

The next instant.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

Four dull thuds of impact!

The chests of four bandits caved in, and they flew backward, spitting blood!

They were dead as could be!

"What speed?!"

The remaining bandits were terrified and turned to flee!

But how could Lin Yuan let them leave alive?

His figure vanished again!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three more impact sounds!

The heads of three bandits were blown apart, and red and white matter splattered everywhere!

The last three were scared out of their wits and fled for their lives.

"Damn! This monster is too strong!"

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!!!"

Lin Yuan bent down and grabbed some rubble from the ground.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three sounds of things piercing the air!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The backs of the three men's heads exploded, and they collapsed into the snow.

Ten bandits, all wiped out!

In the distance, Liu Kai, along with five trusted aides, was hiding behind an abandoned car; seeing this, his face turned livid.

"Damn it... ten men dead in less than ten seconds..."

one aide said, trembling:

"Boss... are we still going to do this?"

Liu Kai gritted his teeth.

"Wait and see! Let that monster and the Venus flytrap fight until they are both severely injured!"

Inside the villa.

Lin Yuan turned around to face the evolved Venus flytrap again.

After being kicked away, the monster became even more violent.

The five giant mouths were waving frantically, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds!

"Swish, swish, swish—!!!"

Lin Yuan's gaze was calm, his figure flickering between the giant mouths.

His speed was too fast; the Venus flytrap couldn't bite him at all.

Based on the plant's weak point.

Lin Yuan instantly seized the opportunity and punched the root core of the Venus flytrap!

"Boom—!!!"

His fist smashed into the core, emitting a metallic clashing sound!

The Venus flytrap let out a shrill "hissing" sound, and the five giant mouths contracted frantically.

But just then—

"Swish—!!!"

One of the giant mouths suddenly changed direction, ambushing the third-floor window from the side!

Seeing that they couldn't get out the door, the sisters had to flee to the third floor.

They themselves possessed formidable physical strength!

But they lacked practical combat experience and had never even killed anyone before.

Let alone several burly men who were stronger than them in terms of aura.

At this moment, Ye Qingyue was standing by the window, nervously watching the battle below.

"Qingyue! Watch out!"

Ye Qingxue shouted from the first floor.

But the distance was too great.

Lin Yuan couldn't make it in time!

At the critical moment.

Ye Qingxue rushed up the stairs and lunged at her sister!

"Qingyue!!!"

"Bang—!"

She pushed her sister away.

But she herself...

"Puchi—!!!"

The sharp barbs on the edge of the giant mouth pierced through her shoulder!

Purple digestive juices, highly toxic, seeped into her blood!

"Sister!!!"

Ye Qingyue screamed in a breakdown.

A violent rage flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes!

"You're courting death!!!"

He instantly rushed to the third floor and grabbed that giant mouth!

The barbs pierced into his palm—but couldn't penetrate!

"Get... lost!!!"

Lin Yuan exerted force with both hands and forcibly tore the giant mouth apart!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss—!!!"

The Venus flytrap let out a shrill scream.

Lin Yuan grabbed that half of the giant mouth and violently dragged the entire Venus flytrap in through the window, then slammed it hard onto the floor!

"Boom—!!!"

The floor shattered!

Lin Yuan punched the root core!

"Boom—!!!"

The core burst!

Green sap splattered everywhere!

The Venus flytrap twitched, emitting a final mournful cry.

Then, using its last ounce of strength, it drilled through the floor and escaped underground.

Lin Yuan did not pursue.

He turned and rushed toward Ye Qingxue.

"Qingxue!"

Ye Qingyue held her sister, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Ye Qingxue's face was pale, her lips were purple, and the wound on her shoulder continuously oozed purple-black blood.

She looked weakly at Lin Yuan beside her and whispered:

"Protect... Qingyue..."

Then she passed out.

"Sister! Sister!!!"

Ye Qingyue cried out.

Lin Yuan quickly checked the wound.

"It's a highly potent poison... E-grade water can only suppress it, not eradicate it..."

He frowned deeply.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought of a solution.

He took a seven-colored snowflake and a frost curse antidote from his system space.

"The seven-colored snowflake can grant a Superpower; perhaps it has some miraculous effect... The frost curse antidote can solve the snow poison..."

"If combined..."

Lin Yuan quickly ground up the seven-colored snowflake and the frost curse antidote, mixing them into a paste.

Then he carefully fed it to Ye Qingxue.

Time passed minute by minute.

Ye Qingyue held her sister's hand tightly, her tears soaking her clothes.

"Sister... don't die... I beg you..."

Two hours later.

Ye Qingxue's complexion gradually recovered.

The purple-black color on her shoulder also slowly faded.

"It worked..."

Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

The energy from the seven-colored snowflake had improved her physique, and the frost curse antidote had neutralized the toxins.

Although there were still toxins, she was out of danger.

Ye Qingyue threw herself onto her sister and cried loudly.

"Sister... it's all my fault... it's all me..."

Lin Yuan stood up and walked to the window.

His gaze was cold.

At this moment, the killing intent in Lin Yuan's eyes magnified infinitely!
