Chapter 31: Villagers Go Up the Mountain

But all of these were nothing more than Lin Shi's guesses.

His original intention was just to survive in the apocalypse, no matter why, since he had been given a second chance at life, he had to live it well.

Only by surviving could he learn more clues about this disaster!

If it was really as he guessed, that the apocalypse would reset after every species went extinct.

Then as the only one who knew the truth now, he might really have to do something.

Because, no one knows how many times such a reset can be repeated.

If this is the last chance.

Will Blue Star become like other planets in the solar system, a lifeless planet?

Lin Shi took out his computer, plugged in a wireless card, and started surfing the internet.

He anonymously posted the news of the solar flare outbreak online.

Three months ago, if he said that an SSS-level solar flare would erupt today, he would undoubtedly be regarded as a madman or a charlatan.

No one would believe that he could predict the future.

But today, based on the fact that it has already happened, he revealed this matter in advance, and added his guess that the Ice Age was coming.

It would be much easier to gain people's trust.

Perhaps some scientist would discover the sun's anomaly and let countries prepare in advance.

And 71 hours later, all electronic devices will lose signal and become scrapped.

Lin Shi would no longer have the risk of exposure.

He just didn't know if his post could be found by someone with a purpose.

Lin Shi closed his computer, unplugged the card, and put it back in space.

The rest of the things can only be left to fate.

Lin Shi tried to establish communication with the treasure basin, but there was no response.

To avoid the situation of not being able to sense space again, Lin Shi took out a part of each material in the space and put it into the basement of the shelter.

The next day, the countdown in the upper right corner had jumped to 47 hours.

This process of watching the apocalypse come is torturous.

Lin Shi could only keep practicing "Yangsheng Jue" to keep himself calm.

However, not long after, a group of uninvited guests disturbed Lin Shi's peace.

A tractor came to the outside of Lin Shi's shelter.

The shelter has no windows, and Lin Shi installed a camera at the peephole of the outer explosion-proof door to check the outside situation.

Four people got off the tractor and looked around the shelter.

The four were discussing who would come up and knock on the door of this big iron ball, and Lin Shi had already opened the door and walked out.

The aunt among the four looked at the crack of the door opened by Lin Shi, eager to throw her eyeballs in to have a look.

However, there is another door inside, and even if she stares out her eyeballs, she can't see the situation inside.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Shi glanced over the four visitors.

A middle-aged aunt in her forties or fifties, an old man in his fifties or sixties with a cane, a thirty-year-old farmer, and a woman in her twenties.

The four were also sizing up Lin Shi with different eyes.

Since some villagers and a construction worker had inquired about the cost of this round ball on the mountain top, which was several million.

The villagers already knew that Lin Shi was very rich and a big fat sheep.

The first to speak was the farmer, Li Qiang:

"Young man, your round ball has destroyed the Feng Shui of our village.

Recently, several chickens and ducks in our village have died.

What do you say about this matter?"

Lin Shi looked at a grove of trees:

"What does the death of your chickens and ducks have to do with me?"

Aunt Li put her hands on her hips and glared at Lin Shi:

"How is it not your business? It's since your round ball was built that our chickens and ducks started to die.

Maybe people will die in a few days?"

Lin Shi sneered, these villagers were really good at finding reasons.

And they were right, in a few days, more than a few people would die.

"Why don't you move away then? If it's too late, maybe all the people in your village will die."

Country people are the most superstitious, and Lin Shi's words angered the four people.

"You brat! What did you say?! If you can't speak properly, I'll teach you how to speak!"

A vicious glint flashed in Li Qiang's eyes as he swung his large palm, as big as a fan, towards Lin Shi's face.

Seemingly reckless, but this was also planned by the four of them before they went up the mountain.

Young people are easily frightened, and a slap would make them obedient.

They had the elderly, weak, and women, so they could easily fabricate some charges on Lin Shi without worrying about him calling the police.

The other three seemed to have already seen Lin Shi being slapped into a daze.

"Slap!" A loud slap sounded.

The sound was much louder than they had anticipated.

What truly surprised them was that the one who received the slap was not Lin Shi, but Li Qiang!

Lin Shi raised his hand and grabbed Li Qiang's hand, slapping him back.

Li Qiang was dazed by Lin Shi's slap, his head buzzing, and his face swelled up at a visible speed.

The four obviously didn't expect Lin Shi to be so arrogant, daring to fight back against four people.

And at such a young age, how could he have such a strong grip?!

Seeing his son being hit, Old Li, leaning on a cane, took advantage of his age and swung the cane at Lin Shi.

Lin Shi nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding the cane.

Old Li's eyes rolled, and he fell to the ground with a "ouch," closing his eyes.

This was the signal to initiate the second plan.

"Dad? What's wrong with you, Dad?!" Li Cuicui immediately reacted, glaring at Lin Shi:

"You hit my dad?!"

"I didn't even touch him."

Lin Shi glanced coldly at Old Li lying on the ground with his eyelids constantly twitching.

"We all four saw it here! Don't try to deny it!"

Li Da Niang knelt in front of the old man, holding his body, wailing:

"Ah~ Heavens, the city folks are bullying us country folks~ If my old man is gone, I'll just bang my head on this iron ball and not live anymore~"

Li Cuicui also started sobbing:

"My dad's health was not good to begin with, what can we do now?"

"Pay compensation! Hand over 50,000 yuan and we'll let this go!"

Li Qiang covered his face, clenching his fists tightly, seemingly ready to fight Lin Shi to the death if he refused.

Li Da Niang threatened:

"If you don't compensate, we'll find the security guard and reporters to expose you!"

"Alright," Lin Shi said.

The three of them were delighted, thinking Lin Shi had agreed.

But Lin Shi had the second half of the sentence:

"Call the police quickly."

Calling the police was naturally out of the question.

Seeing Lin Shi unyielding, Li Qiang glared at him ferociously and said:

"If you don't compensate, pay for my dad's life!!"

He couldn't just take that slap in vain, and after saying that, he ran to the tractor and took down a wood-chopping knife.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Shi made a thoughtful expression, walking around Old Li twice, as if observing his condition.

In fact, Lin Shi could call the police, as he had surveillance on his door, and these people couldn't do anything to him.

But the security guard from the last Li Duoyu incident left Lin Shi with a bad impression of the security department.

He had several ways to deal with these four people.

Lin Shi chose the most stress-relieving one.

Li Da Niang and Li Qiang and Li Cuicui exchanged a complacent look, thinking Lin Shi was already scared.

Li Qiang was secretly proud:

I knew it, just a twenty-something rookie, a little scare and he's done.

Suddenly, Lin Shi stretched out his foot and stepped on Old Li's hand that was hanging on the ground.

"Ah!!"

Old Li screamed, opening his eyes.

Lin Shi turned his head and said to the still stunned Li Qiang:

"I've revived your dad, so you don't have to pay for his life now, right?"
