Hearing Dong Lijia's question, Lin Wenwen responded to him calmly, "It's not important who I am. What's important is if you believe what I said, go back to your room and think about what to do. You have three months to prepare for what's going to happen. When the apocalypse happens, the electric power system is going to break down and traffic will be paralyzed. The network signal is going to disappear. Many plants and animals are going to mutate. The water sources are going to be polluted. The armed forces all over the world will soon build bases for the survivors. I'll draw you a map tomorrow to let you know where those bases will be."
By saying what she said, she gave him a hint that he may leave the room.
Dong Lijia spent two seconds gawking at her. Only until Lin Wenwen pointed at the door did he realize what she meant. But, he still looked at her with disbelief.
Lin Wenwen thought for a moment and said, "I've told you what I should tell you. It's your own choice to believe me or not… as long as you won't regret."
After saying that, she stopped paying attention to his reaction. After all, he needed to time process what he had heard. Anyone would react the same way he did when they heard such news. At first, they would refuse to believe it as it sounded completely impossible, and then would think that whoever told them the news was joking with them.
However, Lin Wenwen had shown her combat skill just now and brought a gun out of nowhere. Even though Dong Lijia didn't want to believe what she said, he had to take her words seriously.
He stood up and walked toward the door.
As he left, Lin Wenwen locked herself in the room and took out Dong Xinxin's phone, then started placing orders on-line. She bought large batches of rice and flour, all kinds of packed food, fruits, clothes, and shoes.
She still had her space which was airless. In her space, the shelf life of food could be longer than usual. She felt no guilty spending Dong Xinxin's money. It was the girl who put her in such a situation anyway.
Lin Wenwen didn't stop shopping on-line until she maxed out all Dong Xinxin's credit cards, which were linked with her on-line shopping platform accounts.
She had run out of money, but she still needed to buy more supplies… Should she go and borrow some money from Dong Lijia?
With that thought, Lin Wenwen quickly stood up and ran out of her room. But once she got out, she paused without knowing where to go.
Where was the boy's room?
She was standing in a hallway with doors on both sides. Lin Wenwen had no idea which one was Dong Lijia's room.
Should she search through all those rooms one after another?
No, she wouldn't do that. She believed that Dong Lijia would come to find her tomorrow morning.
Lin Wenwen looked around, then quickly went back into her room.
If Dong Xinxin believed what she said, he would come back to her tomorrow. In that case, the first thing that Dong Xinxin asked Lin Wenwen to do could be considered done.
Lin Wenwen wondered what else did Dong Xinxin want her to do. She figured that she wouldn't be able to return to her own time any time soon, so she still needed to adapt to the fat girl's body.
The girl needed to lose some weight and get some proper excise!
She looked around and found Dong Xinxin's room to be rather large. There was a bathroom, a balcony, and a walk-in closet in the back. The living environment of the rich girl was indeed different from the ordinary ones.
After giving herself a tour of the rich girl's room, Lin Wenwen found a loose-fitting pajama suit from her closet, then walked into the bathroom.
…
Lin Qiao arrived at the cliff area and sensed the surrounding scents, then looked down at the forest at the foot of the cliff. She couldn't see the things down there clearly because the forest was shrouded in a faint, gray fog.
She narrowed her eyes and looked down. The mist became dark-purple in her eyes.
She turned back and glanced at the three humans in her team. Except for Duan Juan, Yan Huiguang, and Shui Mingjun, all the others under her command were zombies. Poisonous gas could hardly hurt zombies.
"You guys stay outside to wait and see. Don't get yourself involved in anything unless it's related to us," Lin Qiao signaled for Lin Kui to step to Duan Juan's side, then said to him and the three people. After that, she took out two small bottles of blue liquid drug and handed them to Duan Juan. She didn't say anything to Duan Juan, but turned to Yan Huiguang and Shui Mingjun, "You two, drink this. This drug won't affect you now, but you will lose your minds and lose control of your powers a month later. If I don't come back in fifteen days, you two should go to Sea City Base and ask Wu Chengyue for the antidote."
On hearing her words, Yan Huiguang knitted his brows and Shui Mingjun stayed silent for a few seconds as well. But soon, he took over the drug from the hand of Duan Juan, who had already walked up to him, opened the lid, and poured the drug into his mouth without hesitation.
Lin Qiao smilingly observed their reaction. When Shui Mingjun took the drug, Yan Huiguang, who was standing by his side, blinked his eyes. Seeing that, Lin Qiao curved her lips in a meaningful smile.
After taking the drug, Shui Mingjun threw away the bottle and gave Lin Qiao a glance, then turned and moved swiftly into the woods nearby. He might have hidden away, but his scent still lingered in the area. Clearly, he didn't go too far away.
After watching Shui Mingjun disappear, Yan Huiguang spent two seconds staring at Lin Qiao, then poured the drug into his mouth. A bitter, sour, disgusting flavor spread in his mouth. He swallowed the drug as quickly as he could.
As both had obediently taken the drug, Lin Qiao turned around with satisfaction and jumped off the cliff with her zombies, landing into the poisonous forest. She landed on top of a tree and quickly slid down the trunk. She paused on the middle of the tree trunk, then thrust her feet against it and leaped toward where Lan Lu's vibe was sensed from. Acting swiftly, she leaped through the tall and thriving trees.
The mutated trees in the forest were tall, flourishing, and twisted. The leaves had blocked the sunlight, so the area under the trees was very dark. A faint, gray fog had the forest suffused, making people feel threatened and depressed.
"Roar…" Boom! From a distance away, beast roars could be heard from time to time along with the thunderous noises caused by rocks bumping into each other and explosions. A battle was being clearly fought, quaking the earth and rustling the trees.
Mo, Ye Qingxian, and the other zombies scattered and followed behind Lin Qiao, nimbly flashing through the forest like monkeys.
"Roar!" Following a raging roar, an enormous dark figure flew out and thudded against a large tree, generating a muffled bang. The bear quickly got up from the ground on all fours and gave the black wolf, which was standing on top of a tens of meters tall tree, a thunderous roar. Then, it charged and bumped straight into the large tree, easily bringing it down.
The tree fell to the ground and stirred the air, starting a gust of wind and a wave of rustling sound.
