Chapter 11

Author: Bubbly Fish
I looked out and saw that the ground was littered with the corpses of birds and beasts that had died from the heat.

It was so hot outside that even the villa's air conditioning was beginning to lose its effectiveness. At times, I would have to set it to the lowest possible temperature to get just the slightest of coolness in the air.

It seemed that I couldn't stay in the villa any longer.

I quickly packed up my things and moved into the underground basement instead.

It was no wonder the comments praised the basement as the best type of shelter in the heat. The moment I stepped into it, I could feel a cool draft enveloping me.

It wasn't as cold as having the air-conditioning units on full blast upstairs, but at least it was better than getting baked alive in the heat.

I soon began my daily routine of staying underground and living my life in the basement.

My phone had long since lost its signal. I couldn't receive any news or information from the rest of the world outside, either

    I sneaked out of the back door of the villa with Dustin right behind me. "Did you hear the wolves howling tonight?" I asked.Dustin frowned and thought for a while. "No, I didn't, but I did see some signs of wolf activity when I came in."Realization seemingly suddenly dawned on him, and he quickly latched on. "No wonder you made barbecue for dinner tonight, with the fragrant scent and all! Were you thinking that…"Clearly, Dustin had managed to guess my plan.I nodded and hurried forward. "Let's hurry. This place isn't safe yet."Dustin quickly caught up to me.After a long, brisk walk, we finally reached a higher vantage point overlooking the entire villa."They've appeared," Dustin said softly.I looked up and noticed that plenty of yellow and amber eyes had suddenly appeared around the villa. I counted and realized that there were at least a dozen of them.The wolf pack approached the villa step by step and quickly surrounded the villa."You knew that there were wolves

    Dustin was a policeman, and he was very good at physical combat. The criminal ring coveted his combat skills and abducted his sister, Daphne Lively, to coerce him into working for them.He badly wanted to save Daphne, but he didn't know where she was being held captive. That was why he had never been able to succeed.However, since I had the ability to read live comments, I knew where the thugs were holding Daphne hostage.I smiled faintly at Dustin and said, "Never mind about how I know your name. You want to rescue your sister, don't you?"Dustin lowered his head when I mentioned his sister, since it was his most vulnerable spot. "I don't know where they hid her.""But I do," I said.Dustin's eyes lit up at once. He looked at me straight in the eyes and asked urgently, "How do you know? Where is she now?""Never mind how I know it. I'll take you to her as long as you help me out of this situation."Although the temperature had dropped over the past few days, it still wasn't

    "It seems like this little bitch really did stockpile a ton of supplies," one of Bobby's men said. "This is enough to feed us for days."She even has a number of generators in the villa. We can finally turn on the air conditioning and enjoy ourselves!"A skinny man went to turn on the air conditioning, and soon, a refreshing coolness filled every corner of the room.Then, a few of the men collapsed onto the couch comfortably, finally relaxing.However, Scarlet's expression was still dark as she glared angrily at me. She didn't even bother hiding the fire in her eyes anymore. "You bitch. You were enjoying yourself here while I suffered back at home. I'm very disappointed in you."I scoffed at her and told her that she deserved it.I should have destroyed her phone when I had the chance so that she would never have found me here."Boss? What should we do with this bitch here?"Bobby just glanced in my direction and nonchalantly said, "Kill her."My eyes twitched, and my heart

    Then there was the third type of person, like Marcus, who stayed home, timid and cowering, instead of venturing out.However, supplies eventually ran out."I'm hungry, Marc…"After all the supplies were depleted, the four people outside my door hadn't eaten in days. Mabel kept loudly complaining about how hungry she was, but Marcus simply refused to venture outdoors to find more supplies.Two days later, Scarlet finally came knocking on my door."Vi, I was wrong the other day. I never should have scolded you because of other people. I know now that I was wrong."You haven't eaten in days, have you? I'm worried about you. Open up the door so I can check on you. Please?"I heard the sincerity in Scarlet's voice and also detected the trembling in it. She sounded very upset.What trick did she have up her sleeve this time?I couldn't see the comments on the screen because of the door between us. So, I had no idea what she was planning to do to me.However, I couldn't stay inside

    A handsome young man and a teenage girl, chewing gum with a look of disdain, followed the old woman into the house.They were none other than Anne, Marcus, and Mabel.Anne then slammed the door in the others' faces, grabbed Scarlet's hand, and asked, "Lettie, how could you be so wasteful? This isn't the time to be giving your things away for free!"You're still too young to understand things. You don't have to worry about any of these household matters anymore. I'll help you take care of the supplies instead."I was speechless when I heard that. In other words, Anne was just planning to take over our supplies with a few measly words.Mabel strode into the house as if it were her own and began criticizing everything. "Your house is too small and dirty, Lettie. All of my friends have huge mansions with massive basements full of supplies and resources."She then opened the door to my room. She then folded her arms across her chest, looking completely disgusted. "This bedroom might b
