Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 538: Lingyuan Jade Pendant

Both Long Yu and Yao Ran's attacks were invisible and nearly impossible to defend against—yet Gao Shuwei remained unfazed.

Then, just before the wind blades reached him, he finally moved. With minimal movement, he tilted his head slightly and took a small step to the side.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

In the next moment, cracks formed on the massive cylindrical tube behind him.

Glancing at it, he said, "You really want to kill me. It's a pity. No one in this world can kill me unless I seek death myself."

Seeing how effortlessly Gao Shuwei dodged his wind blades, Long Yu intensified his control over the air surrounding him.

Sensing the change in air pressure, Gao Shuwei said, "It's useless, A Yu. You two only know that I can see the future and not my other abilities."

He shook his head and added, "I remember telling you both before that fighting without enough preparation is reckless. Too bad none of you remember those words now."

After saying that, he calmly snapped his fingers.

Snap!

In an instant, the scene in front of Long Yu and Yao Ran distorted, as if being sucked into a void. Two seconds later, they hit the ground heavily.

Thud! Thud!

Yao Ran groaned in pain as she rubbed her waist. "Ugh!"

Opening his eyes, Long Yu hurriedly went to check on her. He helped her up and asked worriedly, "Ran Ran, are you alright?"

Yao Ran shook her head to clear her mind as she replied, "I'm fine."

Seeing that she was unharmed, Long Yu let out a sigh of relief. He then looked around and noticed that they were now standing in the middle of a desolate land.

The ground was cracked, and the wind howled, blowing sand everywhere.

Standing beside Long Yu, Yao Ran also scanned the surroundings. As she took in the scenery, she felt a chilling sense of déjà vu.

A bad premonition rose within her, and she turned around—only to see a white building in the distance.

The moment her gaze landed on it, her eyes trembled. She then muttered in disbelief, "Impossible. Why are we here?"

Long Yu followed her gaze and was equally stunned when he saw the familiar structure of the white building.

After a long silence, he came back to his senses and said, "This place… It's the secret laboratory where you were locked up in our previous life."

Yao Ran nodded, then scanned the surroundings more closely. Seeing that the white building was the only building in sight, she said, "A Yu, let's go check it out."

Having no better plan, Long Yu agreed. "Alright."

Walking carefully while covering their nose and mouth from the sand, the two of them vigilantly made their way toward the white building. Strangely, there were no guards outside, allowing them to enter smoothly.

As they pushed open the main entrance, they expected to see the grand main hall—but instead, they were met with a spacious white room. In its center stood a surgical table, surrounded by various machines.

Long Yu had seen a similar room before. It was from the surveillance camera footage hacked by Li Tianyu's subordinates. The moment his eyes fell on the machines, he knew exactly what they were used for.

Long Yu instinctively pulled Yao Ran back and said, "Ran Ran, these machines are used to extract abilities. This place… it's strange. Could this be an illusion created by Gao Shuwei's ability?"

Before Yao Ran could respond, Gao Shuwei's voice echoed through the room.

"A Yu, you are as sharp as ever. However, I didn't create an illusion. I simply teleported you both into the future. Everything you see here is real."

The moment he said that, Long Yu realized something important. If they wanted to return to the present, they couldn't kill Gao Shuwei. Otherwise, they would be trapped here forever.

Having the same realization as Long Yu, Yao Ran looked around the surgery room and coldly asked, "What do you want?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Gao Shuwei suddenly appeared in front of them. Smirking, he replied, "I want the Yao family's heirloom—the Lingyuan Jade Pendant."

Yao Ran frowned and said, "I can't give you that. It disappeared long ago."

Gao Shuwei's expression darkened. His voice became colder as he said, "Xiao Ran, you know I hate liars."

He then pointed at Yao Ran's dantian and added, "The Lingyuan Jade Pendant is inside your dantian. It had already fused with your spatial element ability, but it hasn't disappeared."

Yao Ran's eyes flickered with surprise at his words. Narrowing her gaze, she stated, "You knew about this all along."

Leaning against the surgical table, Gao Shuwei smiled. "Xiao Ran, I don't just know about the pendant—I know everything. Haven't you ever wondered why I experimented on you?"

Yao Ran clenched her teeth when she recalled her experiences as Subject Zero. A cold sneer formed on her lips as she replied, "Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"

"No. I believe you dare to and will kill me." Gao Shuwei chuckled, then calmly added, "But I also believe that you want A Yu to live."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers.

Snap!

A second later, Long Yu disappeared from the white room.

"A Yu!" Yao Ran shouted in panic before turning to glare at Gao Shuwei. "Where did you send him?! Give him back to me!"

Noticing her anger and seeing her panicked expression, Gao Shuwei's eyes flickered with sadness. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I just sent him back to the present time."

Hearing this, Yao Ran slowly calmed down. Then, without hesitation, she pulled out a gun from her space and fired at Gao Shuwei repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Instead of killing Gao Shuwei, the bullets froze in midair, stopping just centimeters away from Gao Shuwei's forehead.

Yao Ran's eyes widened in shock when she saw this scene.

"You have a spatial element ability too," she muttered.
