Deep in his heart, Lin Yu had always hoped that Su Yao could extend her care from his heart to every corner of his life. "Su Yao, thank you for being willing to listen to me and help dispel the darkness in this difficult time," Lin Yu said as he leaned against the corpse that gave off a putrid smell. After pouring out his feelings, the pressure in his heart was greatly relieved. Psychological counseling was a wonderful field of knowledge. The effect of Lin Yu's self-relief was far less than the comfort brought by Su Yao's few words. Su Yao's gentle and sweet voice could always soothe the waves in his heart. "Mr. Lin, you're welcome. As long as you need me, I'll always be your most capable assistant," Su Yao said with a soft laugh on the other end of the phone. At this moment, Lin Yu truly felt relaxed and rekindled hope for the future. "Su Yao, where are you now? Are you safe? Do you have enough food?" Lin Yu was still worried about Su Yao's safety and asked with concern. "Mr. Lin, don't worry. The place I'm staying in now is very safe, and there's enough food and water. It's just that I'm all alone in this huge villa, and sometimes I can't help but feel scared," Su Yao's voice carried a hint of grievance. "It's a pity that although it's not far from where you are, the road is full of insect beasts and zombies. Otherwise, if you came over, I wouldn't have to be so worried." "An empty villa, sufficient supplies, and it's close to me?" Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely felt that the place Su Yao described seemed familiar. "Su Yao, is the villa you mentioned in that high-end villa area next to your residence? Is there really no danger from insect beasts or anything else there?" "Yes, it's extremely safe! Mr. Lin, the previous owner of this villa must have been extremely insecure. All the entrances and exits of the villa are equipped with top-grade full-steel electronic doors, the same configuration as a bank vault. There are also automatic fireproof railings on the doors and windows. The whole villa is as solid as a rock, and even an ordinary rocket launcher can't break it open. If it hadn't been hit head-on by a huge fire meteor, I wouldn't have been able to get in at all. Now I've blocked the gap, and I don't have to worry about food and shelter for the short term," Su Yao continued, looking puzzled. "But the villa is so lifeless. There aren't even any servants, let alone a pet. Could it be that when the disaster struck, they all abandoned the house and fled for their lives? But with such good protection here and the underground storage room full of food, how could they leave without taking any food? It's so strange." Lin Yu smiled bitterly and explained, "It's not strange at all. I prefer a free and private life rather than being surrounded by people. Besides the regular cleaning by the cleaning company, I'm the only one living in this house on a normal day, so of course you couldn't find anyone else." "Ah... This is your villa? Why is it so close to my home..." Su Yao didn't finish her question, but Lin Yu could guess her doubts. Placing Su Yao nearby was like a beast hiding its prey right under its eyes. It could both declare its sovereignty and make it convenient to "enjoy" the prey. But of course, Lin Yu wouldn't say such things directly. "Su Yao, go to the master bedroom on the top floor of the villa and see if there's a big iron gourd as tall as a person?" Moments later, Su Yao's surprised voice came through, "What a coincidence! I was running for my life without thinking clearly and actually ended up in your house. Mr. Lin, there really is a big iron gourd in the master bedroom. It's really your home." "Hehe, out of the frying pan and into the fire. Su Yao, accept your fate. Go and clean up properly and wait for me to come back," Lin Yu laughed heartily and hung up the phone. He stood up from the pool of blood. After a few hours of adjustment, his physical and mental state had returned to the best. With this state and strength, he was sure to break through the encirclement. At this time, the elevator was completely out of power and hung in mid-air, but it also provided Lin Yu with a quiet environment for rest. Lin Yu channeled the power of the "Iron Evil Magnetic Devouring Hand" to his feet, crawled out from the gap broken by the insect beast, and held onto the lifting cable tightly with one hand. His feet clung to the wall. Even though he could only use his left hand, he climbed up the wall step by step. "Bang!" Lin Yu kicked open the iron mesh of the ventilation duct. By now, he had climbed to a very high position. Looking down, the elevator was like a small, swaying dot. Lin Yu estimated the height and didn't stay any longer. Taking advantage of the inertia of the cable, he jumped into the ventilation duct. The ventilation duct was filled with dust and dirt. Three days ago, Lin Yu might have flown into a rage because of a small stain on his desk and fired the cleaning staff. But now, he could even swallow a piece of bread stained with blood. For the sake of survival, he had already learned to adapt. Lin Yu struggled to crawl in the ventilation duct for fifteen minutes, found a ventilation opening, kicked open the iron railing, and jumped down. However, as soon as he landed, he found several zombies waiting for him. When the zombies saw a living person, they were like hungry wolves seeing their prey. They slowly stretched out their hands, looking ferocious and terrifying. "Slow movements andslow reaction. If it weren't for their scary appearance, they would be no more of a threat than a group of thugs with knives," Lin Yu analyzed in his heart and quickly prepared for the battle.
