Misstep

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The peace button pendant was indeed with Bai Weiwei.

Since the space emitted such a sound, it meant that Gu Lin was still the master of the space.

After all, when Gu Lin was reborn, he connected the space with his consciousness, only granting Bai Weiwei access to a small area.

Inside the bamboo building of the space, there were still many buttons that hadn't lit up yet.

If he reclaimed the carrier, perhaps he could open up some new areas.

Ensuring that the space had no issues, Gu Lin slowly emerged from the shadows.

By this time, Bai Weiwei had reached the initial agreed-upon location.

Upon seeing Gu Lin, Bai Weiwei smirked at first.

But the next moment, her expression changed instantly.

The previous sneer and mockery vanished completely, replaced by shock and panic.

Her almond-shaped eyes, originally gentle, were now filled with incredulity.

Where was her space? Why had her space lost contact again?

Seeing Gu Lin approaching with a smile, Bai Weiwei suppressed the shock on her face and pretended to be calm: "Gu Lin, where are the things you mentioned?"

In the darkness, she thought she had concealed her expression well, but Gu Lin's keen mental perception didn't miss a thing.

Gu Lin raised his hand, and on his ring finger, the pure white ring contrasted against the faint glow, easily visible even in the dark.

Bai Weiwei calmed down slightly, thinking of her purpose today, and reached out to Gu Lin: "Show it to me."

Although she didn't know why the space suddenly stopped obeying her, making it impossible for her to retrieve even the guns, as long as she got her hands on this white jade ring, her goal for today would still be achieved!

As for Gu Lin, she could keep him for now.

After he had been worn down by disasters and the apocalypse for a while, she could still make a move later!

Gu Lin didn't reach out to take off the ring.

Instead, he looked at the space between Bai Weiwei's neck: "Let me see the peace button pendant."

Bai Weiwei's expression froze slightly: "Isn't it the same if you give me the ring?"

Gu Lin looked at her hand, which remained in her pocket, lifted his own finger with the ring on it, twirled it twice, and took two steps forward.

A beautiful smile suddenly appeared on Bai Weiwei's face.

Gu Lin stopped just one step away from her, his eyes mocking as he looked at her:

"What are you looking for in your pocket?"

Before Bai Weiwei could come up with an excuse, Gu Lin directly exposed:

"Or should I phrase it differently? What do you want to find from the space?"

Bai Weiwei's face instantly filled with horror, and she instinctively asked: "How do you know?"

The expression on Gu Lin's face was ambiguous, and he calmly asked back, "Did you only realize now?"

Bai Weiwei took two steps back, her eyes filled with astonishment, her lips trembled slightly, but for a moment, she couldn't speak.

The revelation that "Gu Lin is also reborn" brought her too much shock.

But what puzzled Bai Weiwei even more was: "Since you're also reborn, why..."

Bai Weiwei stopped abruptly, her lips pale, trembling.

How Gu Lin died, she knew it all too well.

Bai Weiwei even mentioned to the base commander that Gu Lin's legs didn't have much flesh on them, so bone broth would taste better...

Since her rebirth, she had indeed suspected the possibility of Gu Lin being reborn as well.

But when she thought about the things she had done to Gu Lin in her previous life, if Gu Lin really came back to life, how could he not seek revenge against her?

Even if he couldn't take revenge immediately, how could he not show any hint of hatred towards her?

And most importantly, Gu Lin still handed over the peace button pendant, indicating that he

was completely unaware of the existence of the space.

Who would willingly hand over a portable infinite storage space?

So Bai Weiwei relaxed her guard and began hoarding goods, only thinking about waiting until the apocalypse arrived, while Gu Lin's abilities were still dormant, to take action against him.

Gu Lin came looking for her because of a matching white jade ring, but Bai Weiwei thought he was just making excuses to see her.

So she planned to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Gu Lin directly.

But now, Gu Lin tells her that he is also reborn, and her space inexplicably cannot be opened again!

Gu Lin also knows about the space...

A flash of insight struck Bai Weiwei's mind, and her voice suddenly rose a notch: "You also know about the space, did you tamper with my space?"

Gu Lin hadn't made a move all along, just to see Bai Weiwei's reaction after knowing this.

Did it take her this long to come up with such little information?

Gu Lin chuckled lightly, his tone mocking: "Yours? That's my space."

With that, Gu Lin took two more steps forward, and on the ground, the purple lightning silently approached Bai Weiwei.

"I gave you the pendant and never caused you trouble because the master of that space is me, and it will never belong to you no matter what."

Bai Weiwei suddenly realized: "You used me?"

All her diligent hoarding over the years, not knowing how many times she had sold her body, how much debt she had incurred, all ended up benefiting someone else?

In a moment of anger, Bai Weiwei lost all her rationality.

She raised her hand abruptly, and several ice spikes appeared out of thin air: "Go to hell! As long as you die, the space will be mine!"

Gu Lin raised an eyebrow and agilely dodged the ice spikes:

"Tsk, Bai Weiwei, clearly you colluded with others to harm me, then cheated me out of my space when you were reborn. Don't you feel any guilt?"

"You clearly had a winning hand, but you played yourself to ruin."

Bai Weiwei didn't want to waste time talking with Gu Lin.

She only had one thought in her mind—kill Gu Lin and completely seize the space!

This life, she was determined to become superior!

She was the chosen female lead in the apocalypse novel!

Gu Lin was just a malicious supporting male character who handed her golden opportunities!

Ice spikes and water blades flew towards Gu Lin like they were free, but he easily dodged them all.

Bai Weiwei was nothing more than a low-level ability waste in her previous life, relying completely on Gu Lin to survive with the food he brought back from missions.

And in Gu Lin's previous life, he had risked his life countless times just to feed Bai Weiwei.

He even survived encounters with level ten mutant beasts.

Although Bai Weiwei awakened her ability early in this life, she didn't have the conditions to practice extensively, nor had she experienced life-and-death trials.

It would be strange if Bai Weiwei could injure Gu Lin.

Seeing that Bai Weiwei had no intention of saying anything more, Gu Lin also stopped teasing her and unleashed the thunder that had been brewing on the ground.

Three eerie purple lightning bolts shot up around Bai Weiwei's waist like snakes, causing her to scream in shock. "Ah—!"

With Bai Weiwei's terrified expression, Gu Lin spoke coldly.

"Bai Weiwei, consider the goods hoarded in the space as compensation for my ten years of care for you in my previous life."

"I'll make good use of those things."
