Chapter 59: Black Shadow

Lin Chen was sleeping soundly, still picking equipment in the villa's weapon room in his dream,

when a blinding system notification suddenly popped up before his eyes: 【Detected that the host's recent performance meets the standard, issued stage reward: Infinite Storage Space (only host and Xia Nuan can enter), can store any non-living objects (Note: living things like hamsters need special settings before they can be stored)】.

He opened his eyes abruptly, thinking it was a dream, but the notification box was still suspended before his eyes.

He tried to mutter "Open storage space" in his heart, and a gray area instantly unfolded before his eyes,

empty inside, with no end in sight. "It's really an infinite space!" Lin Chen suppressed his excitement and got up quietly, fearing to wake A Kai and Xia Nuan.

He walked to the storage room, looked at the compressed biscuits piled into a mountain, and muttered "Store in space" in his heart.

The biscuits instantly disappeared, and a pile of neat food appeared in the space. Then it was the M416 on the weapon rack,

the Gatling gun, and the bandages and hemostatic powder in the medical box. As long as he wanted,

things would instantly enter the space, and he could adjust their placement at will in his heart.

"By the way, the hamster!" Lin Chen suddenly remembered the little guy in the cage and hurriedly ran over.

He tried to store the hamster cage into the space, and the system notification instantly popped up: 【Detected living thing, do you want to enable 'temporary living storage' mode? After enabling, the hamster will be in a dormant state, need to be taken out for feeding regularly】. He immediately chose "Yes," and the hamster cage instantly disappeared into the space.

Only then did he remember,

that he had been busy practicing abilities and dealing with crises for the past few days, and had actually forgotten to feed the hamster. He hurriedly took out the hamster cage,

found some mixed grains, poured a large bowl into the cage, and watched the little guy bury its head in eating, only then breathing a sigh of relief.

"Such good news, must tell them both quickly!" Lin Chen walked lightly to Xia Nuan's room door,

and knocked on the door. Xia Nuan opened the door rubbing her eyes, seeing Lin Chen's excited appearance,

and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? Why not sleep so late?"

Lin Chen pulled her to the living room, woke up A Kai, and then demonstrated the storage space in front of the two—he picked up the mineral water on the table, muttered "Store,"

the water instantly disappeared, then muttered "Take out," and the water returned to his hand. "Reward from the system!

Infinite space, only Xia Nuan and I can enter, from now on we don't have to worry about not being able to fit supplies!"

Xia Nuan's eyes widened,

reaching out to try to touch the space, her fingertips really feeling a cold area;

A Kai was even more excited and jumped up: "Great! From now on, when we go out to collect supplies,

we don't have to carry big bags and small bags anymore!" The three studied the space for a long time, excited and sleepless.

Just at this moment,

footsteps came from outside the window, followed by someone shouting: "Is anyone inside?

We are from the nearby laboratory, have important matters!"

Xia Nuan walked to the window curiously, lifted the canvas and looked out—five people stood downstairs,

wearing white lab coats, holding boxes in their hands. One of the tall and strong men saw Xia Nuan,

and immediately waved: "We have no malice, want to talk to you!"

Lin Chen frowned, walked to the door, and asked through the door: "Who are you? What's the matter?

Why should I open the door for you?"

"My name is A Zhuang!" The man's voice came through the door, "We have quite a few medicines and weapons in the laboratory,

as long as you open the door, we can share half with you, and can help you reinforce the safe house!"

"Get lost, don't need it." Lin Chen refused directly. The "benefits" of strangers in the apocalypse were the least trustworthy.

A Zhuang outside instantly lost patience, his tone becoming fierce: "Giving you face but you don't want it, huh!

" Immediately after, with a "boom" loud noise, the wooden door of the safe house was actually smashed by his punch,

wood chips flying. A Zhuang brought the other four experimenters and rushed in, his fists clenching and making a "clatter" sound: "Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

"Fire!" Lin Chen shouted, A Kai immediately raised the M416 and sprayed, but the bullets hit A Zhuang,

actually bouncing off like hitting a steel plate. A Zhuang sneered,

grabbed A Kai's gun, and bent it with a light twist: "With this little strength, you dare to hold a gun?"

Lin Chen's heart tightened, hurriedly mobilized the Absolute Zero ability, his fingertips feeling cold,

but it could only make the air cold, and couldn't freeze A Zhuang at all. He asked the system anxiously in his heart: "System! Is there any way to deal with him?"

【Detected target's physique is special, host's current ability cannot cause damage to it, suggest temporary avoidance】 Just as the system notification popped up, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside the door, its speed too fast to see its appearance. The black shadow instantly rushed to A Zhuang and the four experimenters, stretched out its claws to grab them, and soared into the air violently.

"Ah," screams resounded through the night sky,

the black shadow tore the five people into pieces in the air, and blood and flesh fell into the snow, dyeing a large area red.

Then, the black shadow disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared.

Lin Chen, Xia Nuan, and A Kai froze in place, their faces pale, A Kai's short gun fell to the ground,

unable to speak for a long time. Lin Chen hurriedly asked the system: "What is that thing? Do you know?"

【Detected unknown creature, energy fluctuation is extremely strong, exceeding the system's current analysis range, temporarily unable to identify】 The system notification popped up, and Lin Chen's heart sank even more—a creature even the system didn't know, was it friend or foe? Did it save them just now, or was it just passing by to prey?

Xia Nuan gripped Lin Chen's arm tightly, her voice trembling: "That... what monster is that?

Will it come back to find us?" A Kai also nodded: "Too scary, even more terrifying than zombies and the 'Shadow' organization!" ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
