Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

After a long while, the middle-aged security guard sighed softly and gave the younger security guard a look, signaling him to sit down.

Then, he looked at Su Yuyang and said in a gentler tone.

"Alright, Mr. Su, that's all for today. Go back and think it over carefully. We still hope you can cooperate with our work."

Su Yuyang stood up, straightened his clothes, and turned to leave the interrogation room.

Just as he was about to step out the door, the middle-aged security guard's voice came from behind him, carrying a hint of seriousness.

"Mr. Su, think about it again. Those stolen funds involve more than a dozen impoverished families. They, like you, need that money to save their lives and make a living."

Su Yuyang paused at the doorway, his back stiffening slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly turned around, glanced at the middle-aged security guard, took a deep breath, and spoke with a relieved tone.

"I see."

After saying that, he didn't linger and walked straight out of the interrogation room.

Back in that cramped rented room, the moment Su Yuyang pushed open the door, the scene before him clearly showed that it had been thoroughly searched.

He gave a bitter laugh, slumped onto the sofa, stared blankly at the mottled ceiling above him, his thoughts wandering aimlessly.

I originally thought that after converting the gold brought from the wasteland into cash, I could at least get out of my predicament temporarily.

In the future, by collecting more blood energy crystals and resources in the wasteland, one can live a more decent life in the real world.

Unexpectedly, a piece of gold jewelry has caused so much trouble, and may even attract the attention of security guards.

Su Yuyang thought to himself that if he couldn't resolve this matter properly, he wouldn't dare to easily convert any more gold he brought from the wasteland into cash, nor would he be able to use it properly.

Su Yuyang suddenly sat up, leaned back on the sofa, and quickly swiped his phone screen, searching for relevant solutions.

How to deal with the police station's investigation and how to safely monetize the gold brought from the wasteland.

He swiped his finger across the screen, looking at the complex legal provisions and suggestions, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

Lying back on the sofa, his gaze swept over the small but fairly tidy rented room. He suddenly felt that although it was cramped, it had a certain warmth to it.

Meanwhile, in the wasteland, the gray-yellow smog remained thick and impenetrable.

Song Ruhai, Shen Changge, and the others evaded multiple rounds of searches by the Jintu Camp and took refuge in an abandoned underground parking lot.

Inside the parking lot, the occasional roars of mutated beasts from a distant corner sent chills down their spines.

Without Su Yuyang's protection, these survivors could only rely on their own strength.

During this period, Song Ruhai, Shen Changge, and more than ten others fought against mutated beasts in the smog in search of water.

They encountered mutated zombies and two-headed hounds several times, and several people narrowly escaped death. Some of their wounds became infected and festered, leaving them in critical condition.

At this moment, everyone was hiding in a corner, holding charred mutated rat meat in their hands, gnawing on it in big bites. The smell was foul and disgusting, but no one dared to complain.

If we don't eat, we'll starve to death.

The morale of the group was extremely low. Everyone's face was filled with exhaustion and despair. No one spoke; the only sound was the chewing of food.

After finishing the rat meat in his hand, Song Ruhai turned his head to look at the twelve survivors standing to the side.

Previously, they refused to hand over the Blood Energy Crystal in exchange for Su Yuyang's protection. Now that Su Yuyang has disappeared, he doesn't know whether he is lucky or unlucky.

Currently, he and Shen Changge, Lin Yizhi and others have all handed over their blood energy crystals to Su Yuyang, which may become a burden.

Song Ruhai took a deep breath, breaking the silence, and asked in a heavy tone.

"When will you begin?"

He knew they could no longer sit idly by and wait to die. To survive and rescue those captured at the Night Watch camp, they had to become stronger, and absorbing blood energy crystals was their only way out.

Among the twelve, the leader was a resolute-looking young man named Jiang Xiaochen, who was considered the strongest in the group.

Upon hearing Song Ruhai's words, a hint of hesitation flashed in Jiang Xiaochen's eyes.

In the wasteland, it is extremely risky for people to directly absorb the power of the blood energy crystal. If they are not careful, they will be devoured by the power of the source crystal.

At best, they will mutate into the mutated beasts found in the smog; at worst, the energy of the source crystal will be so violent that it will burst their bodies and cause them to die on the spot.

But he also knew that they had no choice.

Jiang Xiaochen noticed the gazes of the other eleven people looking at him.

With anticipation, fear, and resolve, he steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and spoke with unwavering conviction.

"I'll wait two more days. If no one comes looking for me, I'll be the first to try."

He wanted to set an example and give courage to others, and he also wanted to try it himself to see if he could withstand the power of the Source Crystal and break through to become a gifted individual who could contend with the Ash Earth Camp.

Song Ruhai nodded, his tone solemn.

"Alright, we need to hurry. It's not safe here; the people from the Ash Earth Camp could find us at any time."

Once they discover us, we're doomed; we won't even have a chance to try.

Jiang Xiaochen looked at Song Ruhai, Shen Changge and the others, his gaze sweeping over each of them, his tone questioning.

"What about you? Have you made up your minds? I know you've given all your blood energy crystals to that person, and you have no more source crystals."

But the Night Watch camp is now occupied by the Ash Earth camp; going back would be like walking into a trap.

Shen Changge remained silent, Lin Yizhi lowered her head, her face full of resentment and despair, and the other two also had solemn expressions and did not speak.

Song Ruhai clenched his fist, pondered for a moment, and then spoke with a resolute tone.

"We have no choice but to take a gamble! If we don't return to the camp, we'll have to hide here and fight the mutated beasts every day. With our current physical condition, we'll be killed by the mutated beasts sooner or later, or captured by the people of the Ash Earth Camp and enslaved."

He paused, a determined glint in his eyes, and continued.

"Only by returning to the camp and finding the Blood Energy Crystal in the underground cave can we become stronger and have a chance to rescue everyone who has been captured."

Only by avenging the Night Watch camp can we do so, even if it means walking into a trap. We have to fight this one time!

Shen Changge raised her head and looked at Song Ruhai. The hesitation in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by determination.

"Ru Hai is right, we have no way out, we can only take a gamble. Even if we die, we can't die like stray dogs."

Lin Yizhi and the other two nodded, their eyes showing a resolute look.

They were desperate and had no other choice but to take a gamble to have any hope of survival.

Outside the underground parking lot, the smog continued to swirl, and the roars of the mutated beasts grew ever closer.

The group of more than ten people split into two teams and began to prepare for their next move.

In the dead of night, Su Yuyang's figure quietly disappeared from the residential area, heading towards the outskirts of Zhejiang East City.
