Chapter 49

Gao Xiang was defiant, "Screw it, I don't believe you. I'll come over, what can you do?"

He tried to step forward again, but Yang Jing pulled him back. "She doesn't seem to be joking. Best not to go over."

"Heh, do I need you to tell me what to do? You're just a project manager, mind your own business. This is a public area; she can't restrict my freedom." Saying this, Gao Xiang took a step towards Lin Ran, then another, and a third.

As he walked, he taunted Lin Ran, "What now? I took not just one step but several. What can you do?"

Lin Ran's face turned even colder, her gaze fixed on Gao Xiang. "You really think I won't act?"

In the next moment, Lin Ran moved at lightning speed towards Gao Xiang. He only saw a blur before feeling something warm flow from his chest, accompanied by intense pain.

T/N: She warned you dude ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gao Xiang fell to the ground in pain, pointing at Lin Ran, "You... you really dared to attack me?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? With the chaos outside, if I had been soft-hearted, I wouldn't have survived till now. Oh, by the way, this Tang sword of mine is stained with zombie blood. You might start to mutate soon, so take care of yourself," Lin Ran said, her gaze shifting to Yang Jing.

"I have no ill intentions towards you, but everyone has secrets. As long as you don't come prying into mine, I won't harm you. But if anyone insists on courting death, I will have to act," Lin Ran warned.

Jiang Jun, who had a good relationship with Gao Xiang, didn't dare to approach to help seeing how fierce Lin Ran was.

Yang Jing explained, "Friend, we have no interest in your secrets. Let's just stay out of each other's way. Gao Xiang didn't listen to reason, and I'm sorry about that."

"Alright," Lin Ran replied, seeing that Yang Jing understood.

In the meantime, veins started bulging on Gao Xiang's body as he lay on the ground, and his eyes began to turn white, indicating he was about to mutate.

Lin Ran thought for a moment, then took off her jacket and covered Gao Xiang's neck with it. She then raised her Tang sword and chopped down on Gao Xiang's neck, ensuring she wouldn't be splattered with blood.

After dealing with Gao Xiang, Lin Ran returned to the card-drawing machine. Seeing that Yang Jing and the others were resting on the chairs and not coming over to cause trouble, she began operating the machine with Mo Shuyu.

Lin Ran pressed the button to load the zombie crystal cores, and soon, a drawer popped out. The screen displayed: "Please insert 100 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores"

Standing on the inside of the machine, Lin Ran and Mo Shuyu were shielded from the view of Yang Jing and the others. Using her mind, Lin Ran filled the drawer with all 500 of her crystal cores, which were promptly accepted by the machine. The screen then displayed: "500 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores detected. Confirm to add all?"

Lin Ran pressed "Yes," and the screen began to flash, displaying ten items in two rows.

Lin Ran quickly scanned the items: a bottle of Gene Enhancement Potion, a bottle of Healing Accelerant, Space Upgrade (up to 10 square meters), Motorcycle Upgrade (performance upgrade or mechanical arm installation), Mystery Dungeon (one-time entry to a random dungeon), a frying pan (with evil-repelling effect), a can of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, a sirloin steak set, six bottles of soda, and a pack of fruit candy.

This batch of items seemed more valuable than the previous ones, with only five being less useful. Lin Ran pointed them out to Mo Shuyu, "These are the best ones to get."
