2: Betrayal and Self-destruction

Betrayal and Self-destruction

"Brother Yuan, Xinlan sounds like she's in pain. Will she really be okay?" A coquettish voice asked.1

However, in her heart, she was very proud, excited, and glad. She thought to herself, 'Hmph, Lin Xinlan, I finally don't have to live by your charity anymore. Now, I will take away your Brother Yuan and let you suffer the pain of being cut into slices! This is the thanks I'm giving you for taking care of me for the past five years!"

The man called Brother Yan said mercilessly, "If she had obediently handed over her space, she wouldn't have to suffer this pain at all. This is her fault for hiding it from us. To think that she'd hide it from her boyfriend and best friend. She lied to us and said that she got the food from her missions, but it was actually from her space. Does she think we're idiots? If not to find out more about her secret, do you think I'd be with her for five years?"

The girl said, "Brother Yuan, so that's why you've asked me to wait. I've been waiting for you since six years ago!"

Brother Yuan pulled the petite shadow into his arms and said guiltily, "Ying 'Er, I'm sorry. I wanted to break up with Lin Xinyue six years ago, but who would have thought that the apocalypse would happen. Neither of us are awakened, so we needed her protection.

"You also know that without Lin Xinlan's protection, we would have starved to death already. You have to understand my difficulty."

The girl sobbed, "Brother Yuan, I don't blame you. If anything, I feel bad for you. You have to endure this woman for six years. She is always guarded against you. If she had shown us the space six years ago, would we be called freeloaders in this base? This is all her fault."

Both of them blamed Lin Xinlan.

"Yes, it's all her fault. If she had been honest with us, we wouldn't be called so many names." Brother Yuan echoed. Then, he changed the topic and said in a vengeful and excited tone, "But, it's all good now. I made a deal with the people in the research institute after they found out about her power. We don't have to worry about food and clothing anymore after we hand her over to them. They will even let me be a team leader."

Ying 'Er was very excited. "Brother Yuan, this is great! We'll have food and clothes. And you'll become a squad leader. We'll see who dares to look down on us in the base anymore!"

The two of them came to the research institute that day to gloat before Lin Xinlan. They purposely said these words to inform her that they'd live a better life without her!

'Yuan Mingkai, Qu Ying, you bastards! How can you be so crazy? You've drugged me and sold me to the research institute for a month of food?!' Lin Xinlan learned all these from the mad doctor.

Lin Xinlan had nature power, which was not that rare. However, the rare thing was she had a dual elemental power. Her other power was a dimensional space, a space that could cultivate living creatures.

What was the most important thing in the apocalypse?

Food!

Someone would kill their family for a mouthful of food.

However, she didn't expect that her boyfriend and her best friend, who she had been protecting with all her might, would suddenly turn on her.

It was all because they had discovered her power. They started to harbor evil thoughts and tried to get her to reveal her secrets. However, to protect them, Lin Xinlan didn't tell them too much because the more they knew, the more danger they'd be in.

Who would have thought that Yuan Mingkai and Qu Ying were already going behind her back before the apocalypse? Since they were not awakened, they needed her protection. Therefore, they pretended before her. But, they had secretly hooked up and had been trying to steal her power away from her.

Unfortunately, they were unable to do that. Therefore, they made a deal with the research institute. The people of the research institute promised them a comfortable life for them to sell out Lin Xinlan. The base would even give Yuan Mingkai a promotion. The two agreed without hesitation. 

However, Yuan Mingkai and Qu Ying didn't know that the research institute would only provide them with the comforts for a month. Yuan Mingkai's promotion was also just an excuse to get rid of him. He was a normal person. If he left the base, well... the result was imaginable.

"Haha. Yuan Mingkai, Qu Ying, you bastards. Without my protection, the people of the base can crush you to death as easily as crushing an ant. Haha, I'll wait for you in hell!" Lying on the operating table, Lin Xinlan, who was tied up by the silver chain, suddenly laughed crazily and happily.

"Not good, doctor. The subject is going to self-destruct!" The man wearing a mask suddenly felt the intense fluctuation of the air in the narrow space.

"Impossible!" Dr. Lu denied it. "Lin Xinlan's spiritual power is completely suppressed by medicine. How can she do this?" Lu Lin, who was immersed in his power fantasy, didn't notice anything strange at all. He continued to observe the blood from Lin Xinlan and finally found a drop of blood that was different from the other blood drops. He carefully picked up the blood drop with both hands and laughed crazily. "Haha... I found it. I found it. As long as I can inject it into my body, I can replicate the power in me.

"With this power, I will be the ruler of this post-apocalyptic world! Haha..."

The man wearing a mask looked at the insane professor. He felt more and more uneasy as the air became more palpably tense.

He pulled Professor Lu anxiously and said nervously, "Professor, it seems that the experimental subject Lin Xinlan has really chosen to self-destruct. It's very dangerous. We feel that we should leave this place."

However, before he could pull Lu Lin away, they heard a miserable and hateful scream.

Bang!

A violent explosion suddenly came from the research room of the base!
