Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 849 Extreme Apocalypse 13

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Li Yanjing thought for a long time before finally giving in.

"You can go out, but you must take a shield with you."

“Wouldn’t carrying a shield be a bit of a hindrance?” Ruan Chutong thought to herself.

"You must bring your shield, otherwise don't go out. I think it would be difficult for everyone to agree to let you go out."

If she were to say she wanted to participate in something so dangerous tomorrow, it's obvious that no one would agree if she didn't speak up.

Ruan Chutong also considered this possibility, thinking of her mother and Uncle Li, who would definitely not agree to her taking the risk.

This world is quite restrictive of her abilities; she can't move around freely.

However, she also felt good about the feeling of family unity.

In the end, Ruan Chutong compromised and agreed to bring the shield.

The following day, after learning about what had happened the previous night, everyone began to prepare for the worst.

With Li Yanjing persuading everyone, Ruan Chutong's participation in the plan was temporarily agreed upon.

Although her mother would look at her with worried eyes from time to time.

Ruan Chutong said helplessly, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine."

"How can the flesh withstand bullets?" Xu Zhenzhu still couldn't accept any words of comfort.

Upon hearing this, Li Dayuan was also worried: "Tongtong, you'd better not go. We can't let you go."

Well, before I could even persuade one person, another one came along.

Ruan Chutong looked at Li Yanjing, her eyes practically screaming, "Please speak up for me!"

When she first brought this up, it was met with strong opposition from everyone.

After Li Yanjing spoke, everyone's opinions were temporarily suppressed, mainly because he was the one with the highest combat strength on the surface.

Those eyes, which were usually bright and calm, were now blinking incessantly, pleading for help.

Li Yanjing watched, a barely perceptible smile flashing in her eyes, so subtle that no one could notice it.

If Ruan Chutong hadn't had such sharp eyesight and keen observation skills, she might not have noticed that fleeting change.

What is he laughing at?

It was as if he could see the doubt in her eyes.

Li Yanjing looked at the two elders and said, "Aunt Xu, Dad, Chu Tong is very skilled. She needs to train her reaction ability in emergency situations. I will not let her get hurt."

"Yeah, yeah, Sister Tong is now the second strongest fighter in our two families, so you two can rest assured. Isn't she carrying a shield?"

Li Xinyan came over from the kitchen carrying a plate of washed grapes.

She placed the plate on the coffee table, and it started to freeze shortly after she took it out. She used warm water to wash it.

She picked one up and put it in her mouth; it was so cold that she grimaced.

"It's so sweet! Fruit has become a luxury these days. Eating it in this weather is like eating a fruit smoothie. You should try it too."

These grapes were preserved in Ruan Chutong's space after they were brought back, which is why they are still available to eat now.

Li Dayuan took one and held it to Xu Zhenzhu's lips.

As soon as it entered her mouth, Xu Zhenzhu frowned: "Ice teeth."

However, Li Xinyan's interruption temporarily diverted everyone's attention.

The main reason was that she listened to Li Yanjing's words and decided to silently compromise. No matter how worried she was about her daughter, she couldn't hinder her growth.

Ruan Chutong didn't know what her two elders were thinking, but she could sense it.

She tried the iced grapes, and the iced fruit had a unique flavor.

It would be even more refreshing to eat it in the summer or when it's extremely hot.

Thinking of this, she took out a basket of grapes.

Li Xinyan asked, "Sister Tong, do you want to eat grapes?"

"No, I thought that since extreme cold has come, extreme heat may also happen, so I'm freezing it to eat later."

"How wonderful it would be to eat this when it's hot!"

Looking at the grapes in his hand, Li Yanjing thought about the problems that extreme heat would bring.

"If it's cold, you can stay indoors and wear more warm clothes. But if it's hot and there's no electricity or anything to cool you down, it can be very difficult to endure and you're more likely to get sick."

Upon hearing this, Li Xinyan lost her appetite: "Then what should we do? It seems like all we've prepared is heat insulation panels and medicine."

Ruan Chutong thought for a moment and suggested, "We can start stockpiling ice now."

As she spoke, she brought out more than a dozen extra-large buckets filled with water collected outside during the heavy rain.

“Good idea. Now, as long as there is water, it will freeze in no time if you leave it outside, and it is also easier to get ice.”

Xu Zhenzhu agreed: "Fortunately, Tongtong reminded us to collect a lot of water during the downpour, so we can use rainwater to make ice for cooling down, and we can also make our drinks colder."

"Yes, Sister Tong, please put out some more large buckets of mineral water and freeze them into ice. Our two families need quite a lot of water."

Seeing that everyone was busy with the water, Li Dayuan and Li Yanjing discussed what to do that evening.

"Ah Jing, are you sure you can handle it tonight? Be careful not to get hurt, and don't let Tong Tong get hurt either."

Li Yanjing nodded: "Yes, I know what I'm doing."

"Old Gao, Mingcheng, and I can keep an eye on the others. You two are in the most danger outside, so don't get distracted."

"understood."

In the dead of night, the only sounds in the hallway were breathing and snoring from sleeping.

A few deliberately light footsteps stood out in the quiet environment.

No one lives in the stairwell on the 30th floor.

The person in the lead tiptoed up the stairs, not noticing that something tripped him, and he suddenly fell face-first onto the stairs.

His body and face slammed directly against the hard marble staircase, and tears welled up in his eyes from the pain.

She couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Ouch, it hurts so much—"

"Hey Maozi, do you never learn? I told you not to make too much noise. If you mess things up, I'll chop off one of your hands and stew you when we get back."

From the middle came a harsh, rough curse, deliberately kept in a low voice.

"Boss, I was wrong. I don't know what tripped me just now."

Maozi straightened up from his bent-over position due to the pain, and immediately felt a warm flow coming out of his nose. He quickly covered his nose with his hand and tilted his head back.

"No, no, boss, my nose is bleeding. It can't let it out, or my nose will freeze immediately."

"You're more trouble than you're worth, get the hell out of here."

Upon hearing this, Maozi didn't dare to say anything more and immediately switched places with the people behind him, moving to the very back.

He was so focused on his nose that he didn't notice someone suddenly appearing behind him.

The next moment, the Russian felt a pain in his neck, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness. There was also a corpse on the ground.

The person in front heard a noise and turned around, but it was too dark to see anything clearly, only sensing that someone was behind them.

Thinking that he was Russian, the man figured he should be fine and didn't say anything.

As soon as he turned around, he also lost consciousness completely.

Because of the noise from walking and passing things in front, no one noticed the sounds coming from behind.
