Ren Hao’s face instantly darkened. He glared viciously at Wang Youde.
“I think you’re fucking asking to die!”
But Wang Youde merely raised a brow at Ren Hao’s insults and burst out laughing.
“Asking to die?”
He raised a hand and gave a signal toward the air. In an instant, the people who had been sitting inside the vehicles rushed out.
Even from the nearby ruins, numerous burly men carrying guns emerged.
“Although I don’t like Yu Yan either—I’d love nothing more than to see him dead as soon as possible—it’s obvious that compared to Yu Yan, you’re nothing but a useless piece of trash.”
As Ren Hao’s expression grew increasingly ferocious, Wang Youde suddenly glanced behind him.
“You don’t want to give me the weapons? Fine. I heard you brought along a high-level space ability user. Give her to me, and I can reluctantly accept that instead.”
Under Wang Youde’s mocking gaze, Qiao Lingling felt utterly humiliated.
She couldn’t help glancing at Ren Hao.
She was a precious space ability user, and she had stored so many supplies, too! Ren Hao would never hand her over to someone else!
Absolutely not!
Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, a bullet suddenly came flying from somewhere and struck Ren Hao in the thigh.
“Xuanming Base has made their move! Hurry and get the heir back!”
“Fuck! Kill our way over there!”
Wang Youde stared blankly at the sudden chaos. While dodging the bullets, he grabbed one of his men.
“Who fired that shot?! Didn’t I tell you not to shoot?!”
“I—I don’t know either! Boss, what do we do now?!”
…
The ones who had actually fired that shot at Ren Hao—Yu Yan and Shu Ran—had already taken advantage of the chaos to enter the passage leading to the weapons arsenal.
After taking out several people still inside the passage, they successfully reached the arsenal’s entrance.
Shu Ran stood beside Yu Yan and watched as he skillfully entered the passwords and passed the facial and iris scans.
Then, with a sharp click, the enormous metal door in front of them opened.
As the door swung open, rows of lights illuminated the crates stacked throughout the room.
Various weapon symbols were stamped across the crates. They even spotted entire crates filled with rocket launchers tucked away among a row of inconspicuous boxes.
And this was only what lay behind the first door.
After storing every weapon and piece of ammunition they could see into her space, Shu Ran followed Yu Yan to the second door.
Then she stared wide-eyed at what was waiting on the other side.
System was equally stunned.
【Wow… Is that a tank?】
【Wow! Is that an armored vehicle?!】
【Good grief, those things piled up beside them have to be their ammunition, right? How much stuff did the Supreme God’s parents leave behind?!】
Shu Ran had never seen such enormous machines either.
After touching their metallic doors and those huge, towering tires, she promptly stored them all in her space.
Looking at the floor that had originally been packed to the brim but was now completely empty—not even a single hair left behind—Shu Ran planted her hands on her waist with a deeply satisfied look.
After enjoying her little triumph for a while, she finally turned toward Yu Yan, who was busy examining a new weapon.
“I’ve put everything away! When are we leaving?”
Yu Yan loaded the ammunition into the weapon, then casually tucked it into the deep-black holster at his waist.
He lifted his eyes toward the girl with her sweet smile. The corners of his lips curved upward as well, and he strode toward her in his military boots.
For this operation, Yu Yan had deliberately changed into an all-black military uniform, paired with a special-police-style trench coat. Every step he took perfectly accentuated his physical advantages.
A slender waist, long legs—perfect for wrapping an arm around or hooking a leg around.
Although Shu Ran had never experienced romantic feelings between a man and a woman, she had genuinely touched Yu Yan’s chest muscles before, and she had even felt his abs.
So when she saw him walking toward her like this, her gaze immediately became a little evasive, and her soft, pale fingers turned faintly pink from how tightly she clasped them.
The entire journey had been too dark for Shu Ran to see what Yu Yan was wearing. And just now, she had been too focused on gathering supplies to pay much attention.
Now that she was suddenly getting a proper look at him, Shu Ran felt her heart pounding fiercely.
The innocent little fox, who would blush even when the elders taught her how to handle men, suddenly had no idea what to do.
The System floated above Shu Ran’s head, clutching a little candy with an unmistakably gossipy look on its face.
【So Ranran, this is your type, huh~】
If it had known Shu Ran liked the uniform look, it would have lit things up for her earlier and let her have a good look!
Yu Yan had absolutely no idea what Shu Ran had been thinking about.
All he knew was that once he walked over, he saw a little zombie whose ears had already turned red.
He reached out and rubbed one flushed ear between his fingers, then looked at the girl’s expression.
He suddenly realized something.
“You like seeing me in uniform?”
When the girl didn’t answer, a mischievous glint flashed through Yu Yan’s eyes.
“If you like it that much, I’ll wear it just for you next time, okay?”
Just for her?
Shu Ran blinked her beautiful eyes.
Trying to maintain her composure, she replied, “Fine.”
Outside the weapons arsenal, the battle gradually settled down.
The two of them, having already cleared out everything inside, took a detour and quietly left the area.
As for what Ren Hao and the others would do after discovering that the weapons arsenal had been completely emptied…
They weren’t interested.
…
The next morning.
Lying on crisp white cotton sheets, the strikingly handsome man slowly opened his eyes.
After waking, he stared somewhat blankly at the ceiling. Only after a moment did he frown as he remembered the dream he’d had the night before.
…
The events in the dream had been far too real, leaving Yu Yan unable to tell for a moment whether it had been a dream or reality.
But very quickly, he sensed that something was wrong.
He turned his head and looked to the side, only to see a fluffy little head nestled comfortably in his arms, sleeping soundly.
His gaze followed the long, ink-black hair downward until he saw a fair, smooth little face.
It was unmistakably the same girl who had appeared in his dream the night before.
