Chapter 125 The Final Move

Looking at the peculiar group of people before him.

Chen Yu tugged at the chain.

Then, everyone entered the gate of Villa No. 5 together.

He wasn't afraid of them playing any tricks.

He held the golden body card at the ready; at the slightest sign of trouble, the entire Villa No. 5 would be wiped out.

"Brother Chen Yu, please come in!"

"The side hall is this way!"

"We've already cleaned up the area around the well!"

Liu Yang led everyone to the entrance of the side hall and stopped.

He took a step back, a smile plastered on his face. "Brother Chen Yu, we won't go in. Please, help yourself!"

The few core members behind him nodded frantically.

Chen Yu glanced at him and nodded.

As if granted a grand pardon, Liu Yang quickly led his people away to the end of the corridor and stood there obediently.

Like a row of students waiting for their teacher to check their recitations.

Chen Yu got off Zhang Zixuan's back.

He tugged at the chain.

Zhang Zixuan didn't dare move.

Chen Yu walked into the side hall.

The women followed behind him, entering one by one.

The Well of Abundance stood quietly in the center of the side hall. The white jade rim was spotless, clearly having been cleaned.

Wang Mengmeng glanced back and whispered, "Why don't they want to come in? Could it be a trap? Deliberately luring us in, and then..."

Zhang Wanyue shook her head. "The more fanfare they make like this, the more it shows they don't want to cause trouble."

Shen Qingci spoke calmly, "Based on Dr. Qiao's description, even if there is a trap, we have nothing to fear."

Qiao Xi nodded. "Mhm. The energy coverage of these people is inferior to Qingci's, let alone Chen Yu's."

Chen Yu didn't hesitate and reached for the inner side of the well's rim.

Soon, he felt the iron ring.

He pulled it hard.

The thin rope was pulled up.

Soon, a wooden bucket appeared.

"What is it? What is it?"

"Let me see too~"

"Is it that small bottle from before again?"

The women gathered around to see a finely woven rattan basket sitting at the bottom of the bucket. The brownish-yellow vines were intricately intertwined, emitting a faint herbal fragrance.

A huge green leaf covered the basket.

Chen Yu lifted the green leaf.

A rich fruity aroma wafted toward them.

The basket was packed with colorful fruits, a dazzling sight.

Mangosteens, finger bananas, mangoes, wax apples, rambutans, sugar apples, longans...

And many other fruits they couldn't name.

Wang Mengmeng's eyes widened, and she nearly drooled. "Holy crap! There's fruit at the bottom of the well??? It couldn't be that Liu Yang put them back there on purpose after fishing them out, right?!"

Li Mengyao waved her hand. "What are you thinking? You couldn't find this many varieties of fruit in the entire Living Area."

"That's true..."

As if possessed, Wang Mengmeng reached out, only to have her hand smacked by Li Mengyao.

"..."

Zuo Shi couldn't help but sniff. "The scent of freshness... I haven't smelled it in so long."

Shen Qingci crossed her arms and sighed with emotion. "The things pulled from the well get more and more ridiculous every time."

Chen Yu wasn't formal at all and picked up a longan.

The thin shell cracked with a squeeze, revealing the translucent, succulent flesh inside.

He popped it into his mouth and mumbled, "Pack it up. Next stop."

...

...

Over the course of the morning, Chen Yu and the others visited a total of eight Villas.

Yes.

They had traversed the entire Villa Area.

Whether it was the Polytechnic University, the Film Academy, or the Vocational College, everyone had "friendly exchanges" until... they agreed that the usage rights to the Well of Abundance in the side halls of the Villas would belong to Chen Yu from now on.

Well, unfortunately, today's attempts were basically all used up.

Only Villa No. 10 was a bit of a special case.

When Chen Yu arrived, the car owner wasn't there, and no one dared to make a decision, so they hadn't even touched the Well of Abundance.

In this situation...

Chen Yu naturally went in to fish once.

When the wooden bucket was lifted, a metal box lay at the bottom.

The box was silver-gray, with a small red button embedded on one side.

The box was covered in water, but the area around the button... was dry, as if protected by something.

[Name: Shelter Generator]

[Description: Originates from an undisclosed emergency protection plan. The body shows slight signs of wear. A black screen display is embedded on the front, with a chip inserted into a slot below.]

[Effect: Can be bound to a single room (no larger than one hundred square meters). Once activated, it forms an invisible shield lasting 20 minutes, blocking all external physical and energy attacks.]

[Note: The chip is a single-use consumable; the device will become useless after use.]

"Blocks physical and energy attacks..."

Chen Yu even wondered if his 11 points of luck had played a role.

It was truly a godsend.

The main reason he brought the women everywhere was the existence of Lin Yue.

After all, if that crazy woman were to break into Villa Number One, there would be no way to stop her.

But now, with the Shelter Generator, although it could only maintain safety for a brief 20 minutes, it should be enough to last until he returned to rescue them.

...

...

The next day, at the entrance of Villa Number One.

The women stood on the steps,

looking at Chen Yu.

The sky had just begun to brighten, and a chilly sea breeze blew in.

After holding it in for a long time, Wang Mengmeng finally couldn't help asking, "Brother Chen Yu, besides you, I haven't seen anyone kill anyone in the Living Area. Is that thing really necessary?"

Chen Yu said indifferently, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen."

Deng Yuxin whispered, "Such a small box can actually protect an entire room?"

Chen Yu nodded. "Don't underestimate any post-apocalyptic items; they really can save lives at critical moments."

Qiao Xi stepped forward, holding the generator in her hands, and said seriously, "Don't worry, Chen Yu. I know when to activate it. And thank you all for your trust!"

Her voice was gentle, carrying a reassuring certainty.

The women quickly responded:

"Dr. Qiao, your Perception is the strongest. There's no need to thank us!"

"Exactly! No one but you can detect danger first. If anyone should be thanking anyone, it's us thanking you!"

"That's right, Dr. Qiao, thank you."

"Yes, thank you, Dr. Qiao~~"

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, looking at the girls before her, unsure of what to say.

She was the only one in the group from outside the academies.

She had always been afraid of being abandoned.

Her social experience told her that a group of girls together would definitely be quite exclusionary.

But unexpectedly,

the girls in this convoy were more harmonious than she had imagined.

"Brother Chen Yu, whether you go to the Villas or the Residential Areas, please be sure to stay safe..."

Yang Kexin said softly.

Deng Yuxin chimed in, "Mhm, stay safe!"

Shen Qingci said seriously, "Don't worry, Chen Yu. Even if something does happen, I can hold them off for a bit!"

Chen Yu nodded. "Okay."

He said no more, turning to walk out of the Villa Area.

Zhang Zixuan was still prone in the courtyard. Seeing Chen Yu leave, she trembled all over but didn't dare move.

Because Wang Mengmeng was standing nearby with a knife. "Don't you dare play any tricks. If you say a single word, I'll... I'll cut you!"

Not until Chen Yu's figure turned a corner and completely disappeared from sight.

Zhang Wanyue stood at the back of the crowd, her hand reaching into her pocket.

Her fingertips touched a cold object...

[ghost mirror fragment]

Description: An irregularly edged fragment of a mirror. Inside, a dim, misty substance seems to flow slowly. It originates from a ghost mirror in a Villa that was possessed by a certain fierce ghost.

Effect: Upon active activation, within the illuminated area—with a maximum coverage of approximately 3m x 3m—everyone's Talent energy will fall into a state of stagnation for 30 seconds.

Note: Cooldown time is 72 hours.

This was the mission reward Chen Yu had obtained after completing the previous mission.

Zhang Wanyue took a deep breath.

She naturally understood the significance of Chen Yu entrusting this item to her.

In Chen Yu's protection of the Villa,

this was the final trump card...

As long as she activated the ghost mirror at the right time, under the 30 seconds of "all beings are equal," it would be enough to defeat anyone.
