Chapter 17: The Last Two Days

1026 Words
Just now, Lu Ming quickly assessed the situation. This alley had no surveillance, which was why Liu Zhentian and his gang chose this spot to act. So, Lu Ming controlled his strength and knocked them all out! This wasn't an ordinary knockout; they'd be unconscious for days and nights... By the time they woke up, the apocalypse would have already begun! From the information he overheard, these people were acting on Huang Mengde's orders to target Su Yuno... Lu Ming didn't care who Huang Mengde was or what he wanted. After all, in a short while... most people would die. With Liu Zhentian and his gang failing this time, Huang Mengde likely wouldn't bother Su Yuno again soon. And the apocalypse was imminent! Standing beside Lu Ming, Su Yuno stared wide-eyed at the scene before her. "Th-they all went down so fast... Lu Ming is like a martial arts hero, it's unbelievable." "Let's keep walking..." Lu Ming said calmly. "We might have run into some robbers." Su Yuno finally came back to her senses and stammered, "You're amazing!" Lu Ming smiled, "I learned some self-defense skills in the past." With that, Lu Ming escorted Su Yuno to her school's gate. "The dorms should still be open at this time." Su Yuno checked the time, "There's still ten minutes left... Thank you." "No problem, you should head back to your dorm." After seeing Su Yuno off, Lu Ming turned and walked back to his apartment. Passing by the villa district, he noticed that the renovation of his villa safe house was nearly complete. "Hmm... I still have one billion left; it's time to put it to final use." Back in his room, Lu Ming used the Void Crystal to scan the area within a few hundred meters. After ensuring no one was monitoring him, he called Zhang Qianqian. Zhang Qianqian was overjoyed to receive Lu Ming's call! These past few days, without any contact from Lu Ming, she had felt an emptiness inside... Now, hearing his voice, she quickly answered, "Master~~ Good evening!" Lu Ming spoke calmly, "The custom work on the villa safe house should be almost done." "Yes, Master. It will be ready for final inspection tomorrow..." "Hmm... Qianqian, can you get in touch with someone who can procure firearms and equipment?" Zhang Qianqian thought for a moment, "Master, firearms can't be obtained openly. But our Crystal Shield Group has business overseas and collaborates with some mercenaries." "It should be possible..." Lu Ming replied, "Get a few sets of bulletproof vests, some handguns, and a sniper rifle. Money is not an issue. If the one billion I gave you isn't enough, take more from me. These items must be in place within three days." "Understood, Master!" After hanging up, Lu Ming pondered. "Chen Yu had a Desert Eagle at the beginning of the apocalypse..." "As for the submachine guns later on, he likely found an abandoned weapons cache." "At this stage, he shouldn't have them. With five days left until the apocalypse..." "Getting firearms and bulletproof vests within three days is also to prepare for Chen Yu's attack." "Having Zhang Qianqian wear a bulletproof vest will increase her chances of survival. And I'll find an opportunity to use the sniper rifle to kill Chen Yu." Lu Ming silently calculated, "If it weren't for needing to complete the task of universal dominion... I couldn't kill everyone in the entire neighborhood..." "I'd spend a billion on an intercontinental missile to blow Chen Yu to smithereens." ...... The next morning, Lu Ming had Lin Jiayu take three days off from school. He wanted to see if, after reaching a comprehensive rating of D-level, he could trigger Lin Jiayu's beauty potential within three days by being alone with her... Inside the house, Lin Jiayu, dressed in a JK uniform similar to that of her senior sister, stood before Lu Ming. Lu Ming looked at Lin Jiayu's new "skin" and couldn't help but laugh, "Teacher Lin, you're already a 28-year-old mature woman, yet you have to play the role of a JK girl. Don't you feel embarrassed?" Lin Jiayu blushed and softly said, "Master, Jiayu does feel shy, but will obey all your demands." Her eyes were full of anticipation, "I only hope Master can love me well~" Lu Ming looked at the affectionate Lin Jiayu, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry, I'll treat you well..." ...... Three days later... "Ding! Host, it has been detected that the potential development of maid number one, Lin Jiayu, has reached 50%." Lu Ming leaned back on the sofa, frowning. "Only 50%... In three days, being alone with her only increased Lin Jiayu's beauty potential from 30% to 50%... It seems there's not enough time." "I thought upgrading to D-level would give me a chance to turn Lin Jiayu into a superhuman before the apocalypse... but it's not going to happen..." "Master~" Lin Jiayu approached obediently, handing Lu Ming a cup of tea. Lu Ming took the tea and sipped, "Jiayu, you can rest now..." "Something big will happen in the next two days. Wait for my news." ...... Lu Ming dialed Zhang Qianqian's number. "How's the preparation going?" "Master, the firearms are ready... and we have three sets of bulletproof vests." "The villa's custom safe house has passed inspection and meets the quality standards." "The indoor self-circulating temperature control system tested fine, and the automatic generator ensures power supply..." Lu Ming nodded secretly. As a sales manager, Zhang Qianqian's work capability was indeed commendable. "Qianqian, from now on, wear a bulletproof vest and stay safe." "Also, leave the sniper rifle in the delivery locker of Building Three... I'll pick it up." With only two days left until the apocalypse, the possibility of Zhang Qianqian being tracked or monitored by Chen Yu couldn't be ruled out. If she delivered the sniper rifle to his home, it might arouse Chen Yu's suspicion. After hanging up, Lu Ming walked to the window. He looked at the bustling pedestrians outside, his heart calm as a still lake. "Enjoy the last moments of peace, for this world is about to change dramatically!"
