Chapter 76 Corpses Littered! No one in the wealthy neighborhood dares to approach this haunted house anymore.
The next morning, just as the sun rose, the temperature soared to sixty degrees.
The scent of blood, mixed with the pungent odor of burnt flesh, turned the entire hilltop into an open-air slaughterhouse.
"Rumble—"
Three heavy bulldozers were working back and forth on the asphalt road outside the gate.
The wide shovel blades hugged the ground, pushing the charred remains and scrap metal scattered everywhere forward like shoveling trash.
"Step it up! The Boss said the stench is too strong and it's affecting the air quality of the base!"
Lu Ting wore a gas mask and stood on top of an armored vehicle, shouting through a megaphone.
Piles of blackened corpse parts were pushed directly into the hundred-meter-deep ravine under the cliff.
The soil churned, completely burying the traces of Zhang Biao's five hundred men.
In the ruins in the distance, a few vagrants were peeking out.
They were scouts sent by other factions to check things out.
Half the city heard the earth-shattering fire and machine-gun fire from last night.
Now, looking at the blood-soaked ground through binoculars, the scouts were so scared they peed their pants on the spot.
"Quick... run! Go back and tell the boss, the ones living in the Half-Mountain Villa are living Yamas!"
The scouts scrambled away, not even daring to look back.
Within half a day, the battle from last night had spread through various underground channels to the survivor circles of the entire city.
Five hundred men, armed with heavy weapons, attacked, and they were wiped out before they even touched the gate!
This record was just too terrifying.
From then on, this Half-Mountain Villa became an absolute restricted zone in everyone's hearts.
Let alone coming to rob it.
Even if desperadoes happened to pass by the foot of the mountain, they would detour two streets away, terrified that one extra glance would get them riddled with machine-gun bullets.
The Star Fortress finally ushered in a rare period of absolute safety.
Inside The Fortress, in the climate-controlled dining room.
Lin Xingwan was wearing a loose silk bathrobe, cutting a juicy Wellington steak with a silver fork.
In a crystal bowl beside her, there were peeled, chilled grapes.
Outside is hell, here is heaven.
"Boss, that move of yours last night was simply divine!"
Qian Duoduo held a tablet computer, happily crowding up to the dining table.
He swiped through the radio interception information on the screen.
"Now everyone on the public frequency is talking about us. Those gangs that originally wanted to target us have moved their camps ten kilometers away overnight."
"Good thing they have brains."
Lin Xingwan swallowed the tender beef and took a sip of milk.
Huo Yuan sat opposite her, wiping his hands unhurriedly.
"It's better if they behave, saves me from wasting my bullets."
After breakfast, Lin Xingwan returned to the master bedroom and locked the door.
She closed her eyes, and her consciousness instantly sank into the God-level Space.
After upgrading to level three, the scene inside the space was extremely spectacular.
On one side were mountains of various supplies, from food to ammunition, categorized and orderly.
On the other side was a vast expanse of black soil.
Mutant pigs and cows frolicked in the pens, and the spiritual spring pool emitted misty white vapor.
She picked a red apple watered by the spiritual spring, took a bite, and it was crispy, sweet, and bursting with juice.
Food is not lacking, and weapons are plentiful.
But Lin Xingwan's gaze fell on the thick layer of white fog at the end of the space.
Although the level three space is useful, it is not its final form.
She could vaguely feel that even more heaven-defying functions were hidden behind the white fog.
But this layer of white fog now acted like a copper wall and iron bastion, blocking the way tightly.
Lin Xingwan tried to push it with her consciousness.
A weak buzzing feedback immediately came from her mind.
Insufficient energy.
This space is a bottomless pit; to continue upgrading, it requires extremely massive and pure energy.
Ordinary jade items thrown in wouldn't even make a splash.
It must be high-purity gold, or top-quality ancient jade that has weathered the ages.
"Looks like I need to pull off a big job."
Lin Xingwan opened her eyes, exited the space, and a playful smirk tugged at the corner of her lips.
She walked to the walk-in closet and changed into a black tight-fitting tactical suit.
A Desert Eagle was strapped to her thigh, and two sharp military daggers were tucked into her waist.
Just as she pushed open the door, she bumped into a hard, broad chest.
Huo Yuan was leaning against the door frame, toying with a car key in his hand.
He had long since changed into full tactical gear, his deep eyes fixed on her.
"Ready?" His voice was low, with a hint of amusement.
Lin Xingwan nodded and patted his sturdy arm.
"Let's go. While those people are still wary of us and don't dare to cause trouble."
She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city ruins below that were scorched and distorted by the heat.
"Let's take a trip to the city center. I need all the gold and jade in the city."
This was said with arrogance and dominance.
Looting the entire city—most people wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
Huo Yuan didn't think she was crazy at all; instead, he found this woman incredibly charming.
He stepped forward, hooked one hand around her slender waist, and leaned down close to her ear.
"As you wish, my queen."
Huo Yuan gave a wicked smirk, "However, I received intelligence that the underground vault in the city center isn't exactly clean."
Lin Xingwan turned her head, a flash of curiosity in her eyes.
"Living people?"
"Not just living people." Huo Yuan snorted coldly, "That place has already been taken over by a mysterious armed force."
"Mysterious armed force?"
Lin Xingwan didn't back down; instead, flames of excitement ignited in her eyes.
"That's perfect."
She pulled open the door and strode toward the garage.
"No matter what monsters or demons are hiding inside, I'll plunder the lot—people and gold alike."
