It was past 11 p.m. in Z city.

Silvery moonlight streamed through the glass window, covering half of the bed.

Under the moonlight, a beautiful face with furrowed brows gradually became contorted, and heavy breathing rose and fell in the narrow bedroom.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes, blazing with boundless hatred and rage, opened.

It appeared incredibly fierce in the quiet, gentle moonlight.

Lin You suddenly sat up, her face contorted in pain, looking like a vengeful ghost.

She is dead.

Five years after the apocalypse, he was left to die in his own camp under the scorching sun.

Three days! She was tied to a tree stump and left to bake in the sun for three whole days.

The despair of being slowly roasted by the scorching sun made Lin You squeeze out a few names through her teeth.

"Qian Yuan! Chen Jinhu! Mu Xue!"

With each name uttered, his teeth clenched so hard they squeaked; it was a hysterical outburst of intense hatred.

Five years of surviving the apocalypse had long since crushed kindness and innocence under the cruel reality.

Every living survivor is a blood-stained, ruthless predator, including Lin You.

But... Lin You never imagined that people could be so vicious.

It wasn't for food, nor for precious water, but because... the way she smiled reminded him of his deceased mother.

Therefore, all 273 people in the camp that Lin You established died.

Including Lin You herself.

With a fierce glint in her eyes, Lin You suddenly rolled out of bed, scanned her surroundings, and then stared intently at the digital clock on the bedside table.

2028 6 Month 21 Day.

11:34:16 PM.

Lin You's fierce expression stiffened slightly, then she let out a hysterical laugh.

She didn't die, and instead returned to two days before the apocalypse.

The laughter was extremely brief and quickly disappeared.

No one can live peacefully without being tortured or killed, even if that happens in the future.

Picking up the fruit knife on the table, the cold blade reflected a pair of eyes filled with overwhelming murderous intent; even the reflection alone could send a chilling hysteria through one's heart.

I put on a dark green top and grabbed the keys to my electric scooter.

The door slammed shut with a "bang".

Soon, a pink electric scooter left the residential area.

1:04 AM, Pingdingshan Villa District, Z City.

Wearing pajamas, Qian Yuan sat on the leather sofa, making a phone call with annoyance at being disturbed.

"Nothing to say, just sue them for maliciously demanding unpaid wages! Damn it! A bunch of poor bastards think they can stand up to me?! ...Shut up, what am I paying you guys for? We have plenty of time. Even if we can't win, we'll drag it out until they're worn out!"

The answer he received over the phone greatly displeased Qian Yuan, and his face instantly darkened.

"What do you mean 'let's talk this out'! It's only two thousand dollars... not even enough for a meal. But why should I pay? Ha! Why should I pay! If you don't want to work here, get out! There are plenty of other people who will!"

Qian Yuan hung up the phone, his expression incredibly gloomy.

My good mood for the day was ruined by a phone call. All these ordinary people did was have a minor accident, and they still want money.

They're really courting death.

With a kick, the golden retriever that had run over flew away, and with a whimper, the docile golden retriever ran back to the corner.

Qian Yuan was wide awake. He picked up his phone, found the number labeled "Tiger" in his contacts, and dialed it directly.

The call was answered quickly.

There was a lot of noise coming from inside, like a group of people eating.

"Hey, what can I do for you, Mr. Qian?"

"Find me a fresh one and send it over."

"Alright, that'll be arranged. It's definitely something new, a fresh-faced model, I heard she's a recent college beauty queen, here to make quick money. But the price...?"

A hesitant question came from the phone.

"Money is not a problem, when will you arrive?"

"Alright. Coming right away, almost there. I'll have my brother go and call her now."

Qian Yuan hung up the phone and loosened his tie.

A disgusting smile appeared on his gloomy face, but it quickly froze on his face.

A black shadow appeared on the coffee table in front of him.

Qian Yuan turned around instinctively.

Then I saw a woman's face, a face that was incredibly ferocious and ruthless, and she was holding a fruit knife in her hand.

The cold, icy light emanating from the blade made Qian Yuan panic instantly.

"Who are you……!"

Before Qian Yuan could finish speaking, feigning composure, he was punched in the eye, causing his vision to blur instantly.

The words he was about to say were abruptly cut off.

Before he could understand what was happening, he felt his hair being grabbed tightly, followed by a tearing pain in his scalp.

After throwing a punch, Lin You grabbed Qian Yuan's hair and pulled him down sharply.

His knee suddenly rose and slammed into Qian Yuan's face.

Qian Yuan's originally high and straight nose suddenly felt a burning sensation, and the sharp pain spread from his nose to his entire face.

His entire face was contorted with pain.

Three consecutive knee strikes.

Lin You then released her grip, and Qian Yuan lay on the ground like a dead dog, unconscious from the excruciating pain.

Less than a minute later.

The icy water splashed directly onto Qian Yuan's face, jolting him awake from his unconsciousness, followed by a sharp pain in his nose.

"No! Don't hit me! Let's talk this out..."

However, the fierce-looking woman in front of him seemed unwilling to listen to him properly and kicked him directly in the ribs.

The sudden, sharp pain under his ribs made it hard for Qian Yuan to breathe.

He writhed on the ground like a maggot, unable to escape the suffocating feeling. The sense of impending death filled his eyes with terror.

This is a ruthless character!

Lin You looked at Qian Yuan, who was writhing in pain, and saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face. Yes, it was Qian Yuan.

Lin You finally smiled.

It was a cruel smile, like that of someone looking at their prey.

Lin You crouched down, looking down at Qian Yuan, whose face was filled with terror, and asked, "Where is Chen Jinhu?"

Qian Yuan couldn't breathe, so how could he possibly speak?

However, Lin You ignored all of that, grabbed one of Qian Yuan's fingers, and twisted it in the opposite direction.

"what!"

Qian Yuan finally screamed in agony, and his fingers began to make a sickeningly loud cracking sound that echoed throughout the room.

"Stop! I'll give you whatever you want."

Where is Chen Jinhu?

Qian Yuan was breathing heavily, and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know anything about Chen Jinhu. You must have the wrong person."

"Aren't you Qian Yuan?"

Qian Yuan shook his head violently and shouted, "No, I'm not. You've got the wrong person. Big..."

Lin You's lips twitched into a creepy smile as another finger was grabbed and made a snapping sound.

Qian Yuan screamed in pain, his previously terrified eyes now revealing a desperate ferocity.

He was never a law-abiding or kind citizen; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to run a large company in Z City now.

How can one become a "capitalist" without turning one's heart black?

Just as her finger was about to be broken, her other hand grabbed Lin You's hand and lunged at her as she crouched down.

Qian Yuan had never been this fast before, completely exceeding his physical limits. His hand still grasped the woman's hand.

Women are naturally weaker than men, even with extensive exercise.

The smile of triumph on Lin You's face vanished instantly, and her right hand shot out like a venomous snake.

He gripped the fruit knife by the handle and slammed it heavily into Qian Yuan's eye socket.

The corner of his eye instantly split open.

His lunge at Lin You lost its way and he fell headfirst to Lin You's side.

But Lin You was still holding his fingers tightly.

The tugging at his fractured fingers caused Qian Yuan to scream again, but the scream was muffled by a shoe crushing his throat, turning into a whimper.

"Click"

Qian Yuan's entire arm was pulled up, and then a flash of light appeared.

His wrist had been slashed hard by a fruit knife, the tendons in his hand had been severed, and the hand hung limply on his wrist.

Fresh blood gushed out instantly.

Lin You released her grip with a look of disgust and kicked Qian Yuan in the stomach again, sending him flying more than two meters away.

This is a power that ordinary women should not possess.

Qian Yuan stared at the woman in front of him, his face deathly pale. The terror of being between life and death had made him wet his pants.

His intact left hand tightly covered his right wrist, and blood seeped out from between his fingers.

"Don't worry, a cut wrist and bleeding won't kill you quickly. Tell me where Chen Jinhu is?"

Qian Yuan was truly terrified. Was this person really capable of murder, and the kind of person who disregarded reason and the law?

"I have no idea."

Lin You's gaze instantly changed; it was the look one would give a dead person.

Qian Yuan said in a panic, "But I can make a phone call. I have his number in my phone. He will definitely tell me, absolutely."

Lin You turned her head to look at the phone on the coffee table, and a smile bloomed on her face.

To save his own life, Qian Yuan quickly said, "I have money, I can give you a lot of money. Is a million enough?"

Seeing Lin You walking towards him without flinching, Qian Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "It's all yours, everything. There's a hidden door behind the TV, and inside is a safe. There are three bank cards inside, one for twenty million, one for fifty million, and more..."

Qian Yuan didn't finish his sentence because he couldn't continue.
