Lin Lu circled the second floor and cleaned out all the supplies, leaving nothing behind before finally entering her grandmother’s room.
But make her tidy up a room for Wan Yinyin?
Dream on.
She looked at the kind old photo on the desk, her nose tinged with sourness.
With a wave of her hand, she stored the photo and all of her grandmother’s belongings into her space.
“Grandma, I’m taking you with me.”
“We’re not staying in this filthy place anymore.”
After finishing, Lin Lu stayed in the room for a while as a cover—after all, “cleaning up” would naturally take time.
At the same time, she held the jade pendant and closed her eyes, sensing the situation on the third floor.
The third floor was the most important part of the entire villa. Pei Yanzhi had turned it into a temporary medical center.
At that moment, several doctors and nurses in white coats were sitting together playing cards.
They were the private medical team he had hired at a high salary.
Nearby were various medical devices—ventilators, ECG monitors, and more.
There were also several locked cabinets, likely containing controlled medications.
“Tsk… a bit troublesome.”
Lin Lu calculated in her mind.
If she directly took everything now, these people would immediately notice.
“It looks like I need to find a way to get them out of there…”
For now, she suppressed her desire for the third floor.
Besides the third floor, there was another major supply storage area in the villa—the basement.
It had originally been a wine cellar and storage room, but now it was filled with generators, fuel, and durable long-term supplies.
She would need to find a proper excuse to go down there.
After making her decision, Lin Lu adjusted her expression and went downstairs.
Back in the living room, the banquet had already been cleared.
Her barely-touched plate had naturally been taken away as well.
No one cared whether she had eaten or not.
The family was sitting on the leather sofa, digesting their meal while watching a news broadcast about the heavy rain red alert.
Seeing Lin Lu come down, Wan Yinyin—who was nestled beside Pei Yanzhi—straightened up immediately and said sweetly:
“Sister, you’re done cleaning? You’ve worked so hard.”
“I wanted to help you, but Yanzhi gege kept pulling me to talk with him.”
“You’re so capable, sister—you won’t blame me, right?”
Lin Lu: “…”
This disgusting green-tea woman.
She sneered inwardly, but replied flatly:
“It wasn’t hard. After all, only the owner knows how things are arranged. Outsiders with dirty hands might damage or lose something.”
Wan Yinyin’s smile froze.
The insult couldn’t have been more obvious.
Just as she was about to lash out, Dai Ya couldn’t hold back first.
Looking at Lin Lu’s indifferent attitude, Dai Ya grew furious.
This was clearly her mother’s house—yet Lin Lu not only occupied it, she was still acting so arrogant?
“Lin Lu! How are you talking to your sister like that?”
She pointed at her and scolded:
“You rush to eat faster than anyone, but when it’s time to work you run faster than a rabbit.”
“Didn’t you see the kitchen aunties are still busy? Why don’t you go help wash the dishes?”
“You think you’re some young lady now? How are you going to take care of Yanzhi in the future?”
Lin Lu stopped walking and looked coldly at Dai Ya.
That gaze made Dai Ya’s heart inexplicably tighten.
But she quickly regained confidence.
So what?
In a few hours, the apocalypse would begin—who would care about any of this then?
Today, she would establish rules for this girl and make her understand who was truly in charge here!
“What are you looking at? I’m your mother—what’s wrong with asking you to do some work?”
Dai Ya put her hands on her hips, arrogant and aggressive.
Lin Lu looked at the twisted woman, then at the gleeful Wan Yinyin.
At the pretentious sighing Wan Feng.
And at Wan Helin’s lecherous, gloomy gaze.
What a “loving family.”
Lin Lu smiled.
“It seems you’ve forgotten my warning.”
She slowly pulled out her phone.
“Shall I call the police right now and have them explain the law to you properly? And remind you whose house this actually is?”
“You!”
Dai Ya’s head buzzed.
Call the police?
Again?!
She was about to throw a tantrum and say the rain would be too heavy for police to come—but she didn’t dare gamble.
What if this girl really snapped and called them…
“Alright, enough.”
Pei Yanzhi frowned and shot Dai Ya a displeased warning glance, his tone turning cold:
“Lulu has already had a long day. Let her rest for a bit.”
At the same time, he turned to Lin Lu and said gently,
“Lulu, don’t take your mother’s words to heart. She just speaks harshly but means well.”
In his heart, Pei Yanzhi was already cursing Dai Ya as a foolish woman.
Couldn’t she endure just a few more hours? Did she really have to stir up trouble now?
What if she pushed Lin Lu too far and made her go all-out recklessly, ruining the entire plan?
Lin Lu lowered her eyes after hearing his words, putting on a pitiful, aggrieved expression.
“…Fine. I’ll go then.”
Dai Ya glared at Lin Lu’s pretentious act so hard she almost had a heart attack on the spot.
But under Pei Yanzhi’s warning gaze, she could only shut her mouth and dare not say anything further.
Just you wait, you little brat!
Lin Lu couldn’t be bothered to care what she thought. Her mind was entirely focused on the supplies in the basement—she didn’t want to waste time on this group of idiots.
Cleaning the kitchen also conveniently gave her a reason to go down to the basement.
She picked up her unfinished glass of red wine and casually headed downstairs.
As her figure disappeared, Wan Yinyin muttered unhappily,
“Brother Yanzhi, why are you still protecting her…”
“That’s enough,” Pei Yanzhi said impatiently. “Don’t create unnecessary trouble.”
Only then did Wan Yinyin reluctantly shut her mouth.
“It’s finally about to begin,” Wan Feng said meaningfully.
“That’s right!” Wan Helin added eagerly. “This world is about to change.”
And they had seized the opportunity early, hoarding an entire villa’s worth of supplies—meaning they could eat whatever they wanted.
Maybe they could even build a survivor base later on!
Wan Yinyin was thinking even further ahead.
She was a reborn person.
She knew where important supplies would appear in the last life, and who would awaken powerful abilities.
She could recruit those people at critical moments and use them as her bodyguards.
From then on, she would have wealth, power, and status within reach.
As for Pei Yanzhi, he calmly swirled his wine glass.
Supplies were secondary—the real key was abilities.
In a world of collapsing order and morality, only the strong survive.
In this life, he would awaken the strongest ability, stand above everyone, and become the strongest god in City A.
At the same time, Lin Lu was already standing in the basement.
What met her eyes was nothing but supplies.
Packed to the brim.
On the left—barrels of diesel and gasoline, neatly stacked smokeless coal, and several large wooden crates of unknown contents.
On the right—warehouse racks piled like a mountain, with brand-new industrial generators and battery storage systems in the corner.
“I’m rich! I’m rich!”
Lin Lu immediately began a frenzy of sweeping.
“Take it! Take it! All of it!”
Oil barrels vanished. Shelves emptied.
In just a few seconds, the entire basement was stripped bare.
Then she suddenly noticed several large black boxes tucked in the corner.
They had been hidden behind the racks and went unnoticed earlier.
What is this?
She walked over and, with a thought, directly stored the wooden boxes into her space.
Inside her space, she could easily inspect what was inside.
The next second, she froze completely.
“Holy sh*t…”
“That bastard Pei Yanzhi… actually had this kind of good stuff too?!”
