Chapter 259: Underground Sanctuary

“Ugh—!”

Zhao Yu found himself lying on a bed inside a tight-sealed metal room.

In the next second, a flood of memories rushed in.

Seven nations… trapped on the planet…

Initiating nuclear war… world’s end… rise of the mutated beasts…

Zhao Yu… billionaire… built his own underground safety shelter… apocalypse arrives…

Took in three sisters… mistreated them… drugged… poisoned to death…

After assimilating all the memories, Zhao Yu still felt a bit dizzy.

Firstly, technology level was once in a state similar to Earth’s. However, the trajectory of its tech tree seemed skewed. Instead of advancing towards space, it charged into bio-technology.

With remarkable results, they created gene potions that could enhance lifespans and boost individual strengths.

Everything seemed to be prospering, seemingly moving towards a brighter future. Yet, unexpectedly, the new ruler turned out to be a warlord, launching nuclear warfare recklessly.

One after another, other nuclear-armed nations retaliated after suffering initial setbacks.

Thousands of mega cities were destroyed, billions of humans perished. The world was completely enshrouded by nuclear radiation. The old order shattered, and the apocalypse began.

To make matters worse, in the irradiated areas, some creatures underwent countless genetic mutations and began to feed on the nuclear radiation, breaking biological limits and growing wildly.

From that point, humanity realized their dominant status was gone; mutated beasts had become the new rulers of the planet.

Humans tried to reunite, only to discover that their ultimate weapon, nuclear bombs, actually accelerated the growth of these mutated beasts. It was like trying to fend off a dog with a meat bun.

From then on, humanity lurked in the shadows, facing challenges like water and food shortages, civil conflicts, and the ever-present threat of the mutated creatures.

The modern civilization was nearly wiped out, and humanity regressed to an era where individuals and families were the primary units of society.

The original Zhao Yu, the one from before the time-travel, was once a billionaire of the old world. Although not an influential figure, he had more options than the average person.

Not only did he build a 100-square-meter underground nuclear shelter during the nuclear war, but he also spent a fortune to purchase a level-one power gene potion, gaining some capital to survive the apocalypse.

“This world… is truly chaotic…”

A few years ago, before the nuclear war had erupted, humans were relatively harmonious, retained some sanity, and lived normal lives.

But with the emergence of the mutated beasts and the ensuing chaos, violence and robbery became common. Stepping out without a gun meant being a sitting duck.

However, as time passed, the rapid expansion of the mutated beasts impacted this area.

In the past month, even the nearby trading markets were occupied by a mutated beast sized about tens meters.

Every night, the original owner would venture out searching for food and water, but always returned empty-handed.

As the memories zoomed in, a peculiar expression appeared on Zhao Yu’s face.

He realized that the Host seemed to be a little perverted.

The three sisters have been saved by him a year ago. At that time, the original owner was very polite and used a month’s time to pursue the three sisters ‘eldest sister, Xu Meng Lan.

From then on, he began his way with her.

“F * ck, the Host is actually a sadist…”

Zhao Yu was speechless, the original owner of the body was more or less violent. He used a whip to whip Xu Meng Lan, burned her with cigarette butts, and even strung a ring on her groove.

His methods were cruel and perverted, making Zhao Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

“How did 1 die? Wait, how did the Host die?”

Zhao Yu sped up his browsing and quickly saw yesterday’s memories.

During this month, he destroyed the agreement with Xu Meng Lan. He did something to her two younger sisters.

He tricked the second sister, Xu Xiu Lan, into her room and forced her to have sex with him.

“How shameless…”

Zhao Yu was a little embarrassed. He did not expect to transmigrate to such an original owner.

Especially his last wish, which made him speechless.

[The original owner’s last wish has been detected: Complete a foursome with the three sisters of the Xu family.]

“What is the Flost thinking…”

Zhao Yu was speechless. Fie had such a dying wish. It was even more painful to be Liu Si Yu’s bootlicker.

“Wait, wait, wait. I still have not figure out how did I die?”

Zhao Yu realized that the original owner seemed to have suddenly fainted while sleeping.

If he did not find out as soon as possible, this clone of his would be gone.

Zhao Yu looked around the room and stood up to check it. There was nothing strange.

He thought for a moment and looked through his memories of the day before.

In order to ensure that he found the source of the danger, he carefully checked every detail, including the part where the Host raped Xu Xiu Lan.

After rummaging through his memories, Zhao Yu found something unusual.

It was after the original owner had forced herself on Xu Xiu Lan that Xu Meng Lan came over and questioned him about why he had broken the agreement.

Not only did the Host not feel ashamed, but she even executed Xu Meng Lan on the spot. As he moved, he even cursed and said that she wanted to take down her third sister, Xu Su Lan, as well.

Along the way, Zhao Yu noticed that Xu Meng Lan’s stared him with killing intent.

“Did she do it?!”

Zhao Yu felt that he might have found a hint. From here, he pushed back his memories.

Soon, he compared it with his memory and found something wrong.

The original owner’s underground shelter was more than 100 square meters and had seven to eight rooms. The safest place was where he was sleeping now. Even the door was made of steel.

Only he could enter and exit, and he carried the key with him.

There seemed to be a ten-minute span where the key around his waist disappeared.

If Zhao Yu wasn’t able to pause his memories, he might have completely missed this detail.

Beyond that, he also noticed that an hour before, when the original owner returned to his room, the cup on the table had been shifted by a centimeter.

This meant someone had entered his room and tampered with the cup.

Zhao Yu picked up the cup from the table and examined it carefully.

He discovered a barely detectable layer of white powder at the bottom of the cup.

He turned the cup upside down and gently tapped it on the table, causing the powder to pour out.

Zhao Yu observed the substance closely. He couldn’t identify it but suspected it was some kind of poison.

“So, the original owner was poisoned to death…”

“And the one who poisoned him…”

The ten minutes when the key around the original owner’s waist disappeared was precisely when he was with Xu Xiu Lan for the second time.

After Xu Meng Lan confronted the original owner and wasn’t satisfied with how their encounter played out, or perhaps out of resentment, the original owner sought out Xu Xiu Lan again.

While the two were occupied, someone silently entered the room and took the key from the original owner’s pants lying nearby.

“It must be Xu Meng Lan….”
