Chapter 98: Doorstep Slaughter of Bai Wenbin

Bai Wenbin: Who’s singing in the hallway?

It’s like a demonic tune drilling into my ears!

He was growing impatient, but the singing kept getting closer and closer, until finally it stopped right outside his door.

Then came the sound of a key turning in the lock.

Bai Wenbin’s eyes lit up: Could it be Qian Ying’er?

Great, there’ll be water to drink!

He struggled to sit up, leaning against the headboard, and looked eagerly toward the door.

But the figure that walked in was the last person he expected.

“An Nan?!”

An Nan closed the door, tossed the key aside carelessly, and gave him a cold, sinister smile.

“Long time no see, Bai Wenbin.”

Bai Wenbin’s face changed dramatically.

How could it be An Nan?

He distinctly remembered giving that key to Qian Ying’er.

He opened his mouth and asked, “What did you do to my cousin?”

“Killed her, of course!”

An Nan taunted him, “She died horribly. Right up until her last breath, she kept screaming, ‘Who gave me these scars? I curse you to come down and join me soon!’”

Bai Wenbin couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt at her words.

He’d already seen in his memories how, in this life, his abuse of his cousin was utterly inhuman, shocking even himself.

He couldn’t even understand why he’d done such things.

Probably driven mad by that pervert Brother Zhang and his gang.

Bai Wenbin looked at An Nan standing before him, her skin like jade, her cheeks rosy—she seemed almost unfamiliar.

In their previous life, they’d spent four years together day and night, and in his memory, she’d always been sallow, thin, and malnourished.

Not like now—healthy, vibrant, beautiful.

She looked just like she had when he first met her: aloof, beautiful, and cold.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to the jade bracelet on her wrist.

The bangle was clear and lustrous, much finer than the one from the previous life.

Though it was a little different from the last one, Bai Wenbin knew—this was definitely the spatial bracelet.

What on earth had An Nan experienced after being reborn in this life?

Why had both she and her bracelet improved so much?

Before he could figure it out, An Nan suddenly lunged forward and drove a triangular bayonet straight through his shoulder.

As she pulled the blade out, blood gushed from the wound.

Bai Wenbin’s eyes went wide. Just as he was about to speak, An Nan stabbed him through the thigh.

“Ah!!”

He screamed in pain, terror gripping his heart: Was An Nan here to kill him??

No, the stabs weren’t fatal.

She was clearly torturing him! She wanted him to bleed out and die in agony.

Seeing her raise the blade again, Bai Wenbin hurriedly shouted:

“You’re reborn too, aren’t you?!”

His shout made An Nan pause.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

An Nan gave him a probing look.

How did this guy know she was reborn?

Wait… what did he mean by “too”?

An Nan raised the bayonet and pointed it at him. “What do you mean?”

Bai Wenbin had blurted it out in desperation, hoping to stop An Nan from torturing him.

Now he didn’t know what to do.

He stared fearfully at the bloodied blade and answered honestly:

“I just got reborn, but I found that so many things in this life are different from before… An Nan, it’s because you were reborn too, right?”

An Nan studied him, thinking: Bai Wenbin was reborn too?

Or was he just grasping at straws to save his life, and happened to guess right?

Seeing An Nan’s expressionless face, Bai Wenbin couldn’t tell what she was thinking. Afraid she’d hurt him again if she got annoyed, he hurried to apologize:

“I’m sorry! An Nan, I was out of my mind when I tried to steal your space…”

When he mentioned the space, An Nan gripped the bayonet tighter.

So this really was the Bai Wenbin from her previous life!

Because in this life, there was no way he could know the secret of the space.

Her eyes narrowed dangerously.

If the Bai Wenbin from this life hadn’t had a chance to hurt her yet, then the one before her now was truly her mortal enemy!

Without another word, An Nan stabbed him several more times.

Stab after stab, each one avoided vital organs, letting him bleed out.

Bai Wenbin was tortured to the brink of death.

Already weakened by heatstroke, his body was frail to begin with, and now, losing so much blood, he felt life slipping away from him all over again…

He rasped desperately, “Don’t kill me! I’m useful! I know what the next disaster after the extreme cold will be!”

The blade stopped just a centimeter from his body.

An Nan had died during the extreme cold period—she knew all about the disasters of the first four years of the apocalypse, but after her death, she had no idea what happened.

Bai Wenbin was right—he really was useful.

Knowing in advance what kind of disaster would come and when was a powerful cheat, second only to the space.

An Nan looked down at him. “Talk.”

But Bai Wenbin didn’t dare give up the information so easily.

Once he lost his value, An Nan could kill him at any moment.

He frowned. “I’m really sick. Give me some water first, and bandage my wounds…”

An Nan looked at him and sneered.

He thought he could bargain for his life just because he had a bit of information?

Wishful thinking!

She pulled a chair from her space, sat down leisurely, and then took out a whole table’s worth of delicious food.

Sweet and sour ribs, braised pork knuckle, spicy crayfish, poached fish, charcoal-grilled beef ribs, crispy fried chicken drumsticks…

All of them looked and smelled amazing.

Bai Wenbin stared, greedily sniffing, as if he could inhale all the aromas into his belly.

He’d been starving for over five years, eating dirt and gnawing on tree bark. Now, faced with pre-apocalypse delicacies, he couldn’t think about anything else—he just wanted to eat.

Seeing An Nan pick up her chopsticks and dig in with relish, he tried to lean forward.

But he couldn’t get up no matter what. He could only beg:

“Let me eat, please! I’ll tell you everything after I eat!”

An Nan’s expression didn’t change. “Talk first, then you eat.”

Bai Wenbin stayed silent.

If he gave up the secret so easily, what if she went back on her word?

An Nan wasn’t in a hurry. She smirked, then took out a bottle of mineral water from her space.

Instead of drinking it directly, she poured it into a glass.

She held the bottle high, letting the water stream down with a splash, making Bai Wenbin’s eyes glaze over.

An Nan took a big gulp, then raised the glass and said:

“Go on, what comes after the extreme cold? Tell me, and the rest of the water is yours.”

Bai Wenbin licked his cracked lips. His body was desperately dehydrated—he couldn’t hold out any longer.

“Eternal night! After the extreme cold comes endless darkness—eternal night!”"
