At the same time, I traveled through time and space, I dominated the heavens and the worlds

No one wants to step into unknown dangers.

Everyone in the apartment is the same.

Lee Eun-hyuk's expression darkened slightly, but he remained silent.

The survivors on the remaining floor looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

"Huh? Are we leaving? We don't know what's happening outside. If we just go out like this, won't we run into danger?"

"That means at least we have water, electricity, and food here. We can hold out for a while, maybe until the army comes. Then we can be rescued."

In an instant, the crowd split into two factions: one faction followed Lin Bei out, while the other faction stayed in the apartment, waiting for the army to come and rescue them.

Lin Bei didn't intend to interfere with their decision. He noticed that the female firefighter named Xu Yijing was no longer there; it seemed she had gone to find her fiancé.

Xu Yijing will not find a fiancé; instead, she will join the military, make a deal, and bring military personnel here.

At that time, everyone here will die.

Lin Bei lifted his foot to leave, but Li Enyu reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Lin Bei, where are you going? Will we really survive after we get out of here?"

Lin Bei paused, turned his head to look at her, and said calmly, "I don't know if you can survive after you get out, but if you stay here, you will definitely die."

As he spoke, Lin Bei's gaze swept over everyone present. He knew their fates all too well, but he had no intention of offering any advice or dissuasion.

Just as Lin Bei was about to leave, the person guarding the main entrance suddenly cried out in alarm, "Someone's coming!"

Everyone was startled, then their faces lit up with joy, assuming that an army was coming.

Lin Bei was stunned for a moment, then realized that the plot had been brought forward.

In the first season of Sweet Home, only two groups of people came to the apartment from outside.

One group consisted of soldiers, the other of death row inmates.

To be precise, it was a small team composed of death row inmates.

Their arrival completely shattered the balance in the apartment and destroyed the illusion of peace that the people in the apartment had created.

The world has entered its end times; there is no way that a paradise-like place could still exist.

If someone were to violently destroy it, the "paradise" would vanish instantly like a bubble.

While everyone else ran curiously towards the hall, Lin Bei stood still, calmly waiting for what would happen next.

Li Enyu had also run out, but when she realized Lin Bei hadn't followed, she turned back and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Aren't you going to go and see? Maybe the army is coming to rescue people, or do you think your strength shouldn't be exposed to the army?"

Lin Bei leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, tilting his head and smiling faintly at Li Enyu: "How are you sure the people who came are from the military? How did the military know there were survivors here? And do you think your country's military would come to rescue people for no reason?"

Lin Bei's words left Li Enyu stunned.

Indeed, how did the army know there were survivors here?

Even if they knew, they wouldn't specifically send someone to rescue them.

Unless... there's something the army wants here.

Li Enyu's expression changed slightly: "You knew all along? You knew who was coming? It wasn't the army, was it? Or were they other survivors, or some other kind of people?"

Lin Bei didn't say anything, but simply raised his chin, signaling Li Enyu to go out and take a look.

Just then, a cacophony of screams erupted in the hall, accompanied by a deafening boom.

It sounded like the door to the lobby exit had been smashed.

Li Enyu was startled and, disregarding Lin Bei, turned and ran out.

Lin Bei shrugged and followed casually.

When Lin Bei reached the lobby, he saw a military vehicle blocking the exit. The door was opened, and several men dressed in black who looked menacing jumped out of the vehicle.

As soon as the six men landed, they pointed guns at all of them.

The leader glanced at the terrified crowd and said calmly, "Behave yourselves, or our guns won't have eyes."

Upon seeing the guns, everyone huddled together in fear, watching them with trepidation.

While they could run and hide when facing monsters, the survivors dared not move when faced with humans wielding guns.

After all, they might still be able to outrun the monster, but this gun really doesn't have eyes.

Soon, under the command of the gunmen at gunpoint, the survivors in the apartment were forced to huddle together, and the gunmen even maliciously drew a small circle on the ground, indicating that they should stand inside it.

After everyone had gone inside, the leader was about to speak when a disgruntled voice came from the corner: "What are you still standing here for? Are you scared out of your wits? Get over there now, or I'll beat you to death!"

The leader frowned slightly. He turned his head and saw that there was another person standing in the corner. His underling was pointing a gun at the person and telling him to stand in the circle as well.

Even when facing his underling's gun, the man stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, motionless. He didn't even have a face, just calmly looking at the somewhat unhappy thug in front of him.

The younger brother didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant. He cursed and raised his gun: "What the hell are you standing there for? I told you to get over there, didn't you hear me?"

The eldest brother's face showed impatience when he saw this.

It's the end of the world now, and human life is the least valuable thing. Why waste your breath on these pretentious people? They must have some skills, so I'm planning to take advantage of their momentary lapse in vigilance to kill them.

The leader sneered and gave a look to another underling beside him.

The other party understood immediately, raised the gun in his hand, aimed it at Lin Bei, and fired directly.

A gunshot rang out, startling the survivors in the hall into screaming.

Everyone was so frightened that they covered their heads. Li Enyu looked at Lin Bei in a panic, hoping that he would be alright.

When the leader saw his underling fire a shot, he glanced disdainfully at the pretentious guy in the corner, then turned back to look at the survivors, intending to make them behave, when he heard his underling scream behind him.

"How is this possible? Are you even human? Holy crap, boss, he... he's not dead!"

not dead?

The leader frowned and turned to look at the person in the corner again.

He was certain his underling had hit the man, but now, looking at him, the man was standing perfectly fine, not even a scratch, and there wasn't a trace of blood on him.

Missed?
The leader was a little annoyed. He turned his head and glared at the underling who had fired the shot, then raised his own gun and fired directly at Lin Bei.

A gunshot rang out, followed by screams from the survivors.

This time, the boss was certain he hadn't missed and had definitely hit Lin Bei.

To his surprise, the man remained standing there, his expression unchanged.

This time, not only the leader was shocked, but the other thugs also showed expressions of surprise.

How can this be?

How can a person possibly withstand a bullet?

Or is this person not actually human, but a monster?

This thought simultaneously crossed the minds of the thugs. Almost instinctively, they all raised their guns and aimed them at Lin Bei.

While most monsters can be killed by guns, that doesn't mean there won't be monsters that can withstand bullets.

The leader, looking wary, held his gun and slowly approached Lin Bei step by step.

"Who are you? Why are bullets ineffective against you? You... are you a monster?"

Lin Bei slightly raised his eyes and glanced at the boss. His gaze then passed over the boss and landed on a timid-looking underling behind him.

Lin Bei chuckled and walked towards the boss.

"You don't need to know who I am. If you're so capable, then shoot me dead."

As Lin Bei said this, he continued walking, striding towards his boss.

Seeing this, the leader was so frightened that he shouted, "Shoot! Kill him!" Immediately, intense gunfire erupted in the hall, and within ten seconds, everyone had emptied their gun magazines.

But looking at Lin Bei again, he still had no wounds on his body, not a drop of blood. He remained calm until he stood in front of the boss.

He watched as his boss's face gradually turned pale, and when he looked down and saw that the magazine in his hand was empty, he smiled slightly.

"Out of ideas? If not, then it's my turn."

Just as Lin Bei finished speaking, his henchmen reacted and rushed towards him, cursing angrily.

It seems they're about to make a move against Lin Bei.

Lin Bei was both amused and exasperated, unsure whether to call his underlings protective of their master or simply brainless.

Guns can't deal with him, but fists can?

A cold glint flashed in Lin Bei's eyes. He snapped his fingers and activated the power of the Shadow Monarch.

Black liquid surged from his shadow, almost instantly covering the entire hall.

The black liquid enveloped the feet of each thug, and they soon discovered that they could not get close to Lin Bei, or even take a single step forward.

They were immobilized in place by a layer of faint black liquid on the ground, and no matter how much they struggled, it was useless.

Several of the underlings even fell, and after falling to the ground, they were immobilized by the black liquid and couldn't get up no matter what they did.

Seeing this, the boss's face turned completely pale.

He could immediately tell that the person in front of him was definitely not human, but a monster.

He couldn't even hold the gun in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a "bang." He trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Lin Bei.

Lin Bei frowned slightly and said helplessly, "If you react like this, wouldn't it seem like I'm bullying you if I were to take action next?"

Despite saying that, Lin Bei still raised his hand, and the surrounding black liquid suddenly surged up, engulfing the boss and his underlings who couldn't even speak.

After the black liquid returned to the ground, the survivors in the circle looked at Lin Bei with trepidation. Li Enyu, however, was not afraid of Lin Bei. He pointed to a person in front of him and hesitated.

"You missed one."

Lin Bei slowly raised his head and looked at the thug in front of him who looked timid.

He put his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.

“We can’t let one slip by; I’ve kept him on purpose.”

The thug seemed surprised by Lin Bei's words. He trembled and looked at Lin Bei with fear and unease.

"Why are you keeping me alive? Are you a monster? Do you want to eat me, or... or steal my body?"

Lin Bei was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected this guy to say something like that.

Lin Bei couldn't help but find it amusing. He looked at the thug who looked like a college student with a probing gaze: "What do you mean by that? Do you think that just because you can possess someone, I can too? I didn't expect you to self-destruct like that."

The young thug's face stiffened. He turned to look at the other survivors, threw down his gun, and knelt down to kowtow to them.

While kowtowing, the young criminal cried out, "I'm innocent! I'm not a criminal at all, and I have nothing to do with these people. There are actually many self-help points like yours outside, and everyone is working together to survive."

They went to my self-help point before they came here.

But they were really ruthless. They killed everyone and looted all the supplies. I was lucky to survive. I surrendered to them, and the leader probably spared my life because he thought I looked good.

I really don't want to hurt you, so please, please spare me, just don't kill me.

The survivors never expected the young thug to say such a thing.

They looked at each other, unsure whether to believe it or not.

A few people were moved by compassion and couldn't help but offer their advice.

“I just realized that he didn’t fire a shot. His gun must still have bullets. He couldn’t kill anyone, which proves that he’s a good person.”

Some people also oppose it.

"You can't say that not firing a shot makes someone a good person. Think about it carefully, why did everyone at the last self-rescue point die, leaving only him? That's suspicious too. Maybe he betrayed his own people?"

For a moment, the survivors were in an uproar, with only a few people not participating in the argument.

Lee Eun-woo and Lee Eun-hyuk stood aside, eyeing the young thug with suspicion.

Cha Hyun-soo seemed to be in bad shape, curled up in a corner in pain, his eyes gradually turning black.

Lin Bei glanced at Che Xianxiu, then looked at the young thug in front of him and saw that he was staring intently at Che Xianxiu. He smiled.

"I see. You're here to see Cha Hyun-soo. You can sense the presence of someone like you. It's a pity that Cha Hyun-soo can't give it to you. This person is the key to a bright future for this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Bei, not wanting to hear how the survivors planned to deal with the young thug, snapped his fingers and cast a spell on him.

"Thunderous explosion."

As the sound faded, countless explosions erupted from the location of the young thug, startling everyone who screamed and scattered in all directions.

The young thug was also startled and cried out as Lin Bei rushed over, "Please save me! I really didn't lie, please believe me!"

His lunge narrowly avoided the explosion, which left a deep crater in its wake. Faint smoke dissipated, bringing the hall back to silence.

Lin Bei kicked the young thug away, and he was almost amused by his anger.

"You've become addicted to acting. I know you're telling the truth, but how can you hide some of the truth?"

"Since you want to tell the truth, then let everyone know the real situation."

As he spoke, Lin Bei stepped on the young thug, pinning him to the ground. He glanced at the crowd and spoke calmly.

"This guy is the monster you're talking about, except he's a special infected person. He has self-awareness and can control his abilities. He killed everyone at the last self-rescue point."

He's putting on an act for you all now, not to gain your trust, but to gain Cha Hyun-soo's trust.

He wants to win over Cha Hyun-soo, and then kill you all. (End of Chapter)
