Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Chapter 253 Apocalypse 18

Qin Baobao, who changed her name to Mu Lingxi, left the Yama Palace and flew around the city.

The city has very little vegetation; it's mostly high-rise buildings and concrete and asphalt. Flying cars haven't been invented yet, and supercomputers are a privilege for a select few. Most people are still at the technological level of decades ago.

Mu Lingxi had also researched information online; desertification is already severe, and marine products are all processed, unlike in the past when they could be directly cooked and served as food. Plants and trees are even rarer; only the wealthy have the leisure to cultivate them. And those plants can only survive in greenhouses. Outdoor plants, after being battered by winter sandstorms, don't grow well. They often have yellowish leaves and look malnourished.

Environmental problems can be solved with my own spiritual spring. As for human problems...

Holding onto one's true self is incredibly difficult; just thinking about it makes my head spin and makes me feel hopeless about the future.

Difficult, too difficult.

"Oh, is it her?"

It looks different from before.

As Mu Lingxi was about to return, she unexpectedly saw a familiar face—Jiang Mengli.

The girl's bright and lively eyes left a deep impression on me at that time.

She was with someone her age, probably a good friend.

Two little girls were strolling hand in hand down the street when they turned into a small alley, behaving very suspiciously.

"Mengmeng, what are we doing here?" Yu Fei felt a little flustered.

The deserted alleyway seemed to conceal the girl's madness, and the setting sun hung in the sky.

Such a scene has absolutely nothing to do with beauty.

Jiang Mengli is no longer the plump and cute girl she used to be; she is now thin and has a delicate, frail appearance.

Yu Fei looked around and saw that there was no one else there except for them. His heart immediately trembled violently.

But seeing that there was only one other person present, she felt relieved. No worries, Jiang Mengli was so frail; she could easily knock her away.

Yu Fei secretly cheered himself up, mainly because the other party looked like a vulnerable group and there was no sense of oppression at all.

Jiang Mengli smiled slightly and grabbed Yu Fei with her claw-like hands.

Yu Fei couldn't help but shiver; his hands were indeed quite cold.

Yu Fei's newly established defenses began to crumble again, and the person who was putting pressure on her remained calm and even had time to care about her.

"What's wrong? You don't look quite right."

"Mengmeng, let's go back. It's getting dark, and it's not safe outside. My mom said we can't go home too late. This place... is a bit too scary."

Jiang Mengli's smile remained unchanged. "Are you afraid of me?"

"No, no. How could that be? Mengmeng is so delicate, I'm too busy protecting you to be afraid of you. I'm afraid of the monsters outside." Yes, that's right. The money-bringing boy in front of her could be easily pushed over, what was there to be afraid of?

Yu Fei comforted herself in this way, but in reality, she was terrified.

He thought viciously: As long as I get the money, I'll leave this awful woman immediately!

"It's good that you're not afraid. I have something I want to tell you."

Here it comes, here it comes, the main event of the day is finally here.

What could the two of them possibly talk about? It was nothing more than their ex-boyfriends.

"Ask me anything, I know everything about Song Shu. It's just getting late, I don't know if there's still time..."

I've paid you, I'll just do a shoddy job and call it a day.

Jiang Mengli transferred 1000 yuan to Yu Fei, who immediately beamed with joy and embellished the story he had told countless times before.

"Is that all?" The employer was clearly disappointed.

It's just the same old stuff, why make a big deal out of it?

Taking advantage of the fact that the person opposite him wasn't looking at him, Yu Fei casually curled his lip and said with a glint in his eye.

“It’s not that I haven’t…”

Since the person is gone, they can make up whatever they want. They can hand over half and keep the rest for themselves.

Before Yu Fei could even begin his performance, a glittering gold clover bracelet suddenly appeared on his wrist.

Somewhat familiar.

Before Yu Fei could see clearly, a thin hand covered hers, enveloping both the bracelet and her hand.

"This is my most cherished possession."

"Think about it carefully again, as long as it's something you haven't said before."

Jiang Mengli's pale face was completely bloodless, so much so that when she spoke in a low voice, it sounded like a humble plea.

Yu Fei is a straightforward and blunt woman, completely lacking in chivalry.

She pulled her hand out forcefully and put the bracelet into her pants pocket.

This bracelet looks very delicate, so I'd better not show it off to others, lest that silly woman across from me regrets it.

It just looks really familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before.

……

"It looks like he's finished speaking, and it was quite interesting. It's not like Song Shu at all." Jiang Mengli's feigned weakness had vanished, and her deep eyes were fixed on her friend beside her.

"Yes, yes, it's been too long. Maybe I remembered wrong." Yu Fei got carried away while talking and didn't pay attention to his persona. Thinking about the expensive gifts he had just received, he felt a little guilty, since they were all fake, and the money felt a bit too hot to handle.

Yu Fei only felt a moment of guilt before immediately becoming self-righteous. He'd talked for so long, his mouth was dry; wasn't it only right to receive a small reward?

"It's getting late, let's go back." Yu Fei stood up and started to walk out.

Just as her right hand touched the bracelet in her pocket, Jiang Mengli's voice rang out from behind her.

"Think about it again carefully, are you really sure there isn't any left?"

The hairs on Yu Fei's back stood on end.

What's going on? Jiang Mengli is so scary today! Is that chilling voice calling back a soul? Could she be possessed by a ghost?

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, it's really late today. I need to go home."

No amount of money could keep him here any longer; he had to leave immediately. Yu Fei didn't dare look back; he simply quickened his pace.

"It seems there really aren't any left." Jiang Mengli's tone revealed a mixture of relief and regret.

Are you afraid of spending more money?

While filled with fear and anxiety, Yu Fei began to despise Jiang Mengli.

Despite his self-proclaimed love for Song Ge, isn't he incredibly stingy? It's only a few tens of thousands of yuan, yet he's as miserly as can be.

How stingy!

"Oh, you shouldn't have lied to me."

Before losing consciousness, Yu Fei only heard this sentence, and then he knew nothing more.

When Mu Lingxi returned to her small courtyard, it was already dark.

Although the sight of pairs of bright red eyes in the dark hiding place was unsettling, Mu Lingxi ignored them.

Over the past two weeks, the number of these creatures has increased significantly. Authorities have begun organizing cleanup efforts; ordinary citizens simply need to lock their doors and windows and stay indoors.

The more you know, the more powerless you feel, just like Jiang Mengli, whom we just saw.

How long has it been since I last saw such a kind and righteous girl? A month or two?

Now it's ferocious and insane; apart from being able to speak and think, it's no different from a wild beast.

Mu Lingxi witnessed her tearing a little girl to pieces.

Driven by the sight of blood, they devoured the person raw, just like the scene at the neighbor's house.

Perhaps the outdoor environment didn't make her feel safe.

After eating the human body, Jiang Mengli regained her senses, tied it with stones, threw it into the river, and even covered up the crime scene.

The plan was perfect, as if it weren't a spur-of-the-moment decision.
