End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times

Chapter 66 The scariest thing is the human heart

Fan Mengmeng's heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She looked at the threatening text message over and over again, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She knew that the most terrifying thing in the apocalypse was not the zombies, but the human heart.

She tried to calm herself down and quickly analyzed the current situation.

The villa in the western suburbs of the city is indeed one of her main stockpiling points, but only a handful of people know its location.

Captain Chen and her team members are absolutely trustworthy, but apart from them... is there a traitor in the team?

This thought gnawed at her heart like a poisonous snake.

She had sincerely helped some survivors, but now, someone had turned against her and pushed her into danger.

The feeling of being betrayed is more painful than facing zombies.

She took a deep breath and called Captain Chen.

When the call was connected, she spoke in a hurried tone: "Captain Chen, this is an emergency! Someone leaked the location of my stockpile point. It's likely someone from the robbery force! They will take action tonight!"

Captain Chen's voice also turned serious: "Mengmeng, don't panic, I will gather the team members immediately, and we will go to the villa together and prepare for defense!"

After hanging up the phone, Fan Mengmeng paced around the room anxiously.

She was not only worried about her supplies being stolen, but she was even more worried about her abilities being exposed.

Once those people knew that she could travel through time and space, the consequences would be disastrous.

Time passed by minute by minute, like a blunt knife cutting her nerves.

She glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, and a strong sense of unease enveloped her.

Suddenly, she remembered a jade pendant Teng Junze had given her, saying it could keep her safe. Trembling, she took it off her neck and held it tightly in her hand.

"I hope you can bless me..." she murmured to herself.

Just then, there was a roar of a car outside the villa, followed by noisy footsteps and shouting.

"Oh no, they are coming!" Fan Mengmeng's face changed and she immediately rushed to the window.

Through the gap in the curtains, she saw a group of burly men armed with weapons approaching the villa gate with great momentum.

The leader was none other than the burly, sinister-eyed Boss Sun.

Boss Sun grinned and shouted to his men behind him, "Brothers, charge in! All the supplies inside are ours!"

Fan Mengmeng's heart sank to the bottom, but she did not give up hope.

She quickly opened a hidden compartment, which contained some important documents and... an antique wooden box.

She grabbed the wooden box, her eyes determined...

Fan Mengmeng held the wooden box in her hand, took a deep breath, and silently recited a formula that only she understood.

There seemed to be no changes in the room, but she knew that some important supplies had been moved to another safe place.

This relaxed her tense nerves a little.

The shouting outside was getting closer and closer. She quickly put the wooden box back into the secret compartment, picked up an iron rod she had prepared in advance, and her eyes flashed with determination.

The gate of the villa was violently kicked open, and Boss Sun rushed in with a group of people like ferocious beasts.

"Search! Search carefully! Don't miss any corner!" Boss Sun roared in a hoarse voice, his greedy eyes scanning every corner of the villa.

However, when they searched the entire villa, they only found some ordinary furniture and daily necessities.

Those priceless materials have long disappeared without a trace.

Boss Sun was furious, his face livid: "What's going on? Where are the things? Where did they go?!"

"Boss, there's nothing here! Is the information wrong?" a younger brother said tremblingly.

"Impossible!" Boss Sun kicked over the table in front of him, gritting his teeth. "I clearly received news that a large amount of supplies were stockpiled here! Someone must have gotten there first!"

At this moment, Captain Chen and his team members arrived and surrounded the villa.

"Boss Sun, you are so brave that you dare to come here and act wildly!" Captain Chen said in a cold tone, holding the gun tightly in his hand.

When Boss Sun saw Captain Chen, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Captain Chen, I didn't expect you to be here too! What? You want a piece of the action too?"

"Stop talking nonsense! You have robbed other people's supplies, which is an unforgivable crime! Today I will enforce justice on the behalf of heaven!" Captain Chen gave an order, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Fan Mengmeng, who was hiding in the dark, saw it all.

Captain Chen's appearance made her feel both surprised and relieved.

But she did not show up immediately. She needed more time to observe and judge whether Captain Chen was really trustworthy.

Fierce gunfire and shouting echoed in the night sky.

Fan Mengmeng tightly gripped the iron rod in her hand, struggling internally.

She knew that if she went out now, she could join forces with Captain Chen and perhaps get rid of Boss Sun faster.

But she still had some concerns. After all, in the end times, people's hearts are unpredictable.

Captain Chen found an opening and ran to the room where Fan Mengmeng was hiding. He whispered, "Mengmeng, I know you're in there. Come out! Let's fight them together!"

Fan Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the door. "Captain Chen..."

Captain Chen looked at her with sincere eyes: "Mengmeng, I know you have concerns, but now is not the time to hesitate! Only if we join forces can we overcome this crisis!"

Fan Mengmeng looked at Captain Chen's determined eyes and began to waver.

She thought of Teng Junze... The jade pendant he gave her was now lying quietly on her chest, emitting a hint of warmth.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath... "Okay, I..."

Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and opened her eyes, but there was a complex light flashing in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you." She remembered that Teng Junze also faced difficulties in ancient times, and a wave of sadness welled up in her heart.

Separated by time and space, she was unable to share his burden and could only face the crisis alone.

At this moment, she missed him so much, missed his warm embrace, and missed his firm eyes.

But she knew that now was not the time to be sentimental.

"Great!" Captain Chen was delighted. "We..."

"Wait," Fan Mengmeng interrupted him, "We can cooperate, but I have my own plans."

"what's the plan?"

"Defend first, conserve your strength, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack." Fan Mengmeng said in a firm tone, with a calm look in her eyes.

Captain Chen frowned: "Defense? Boss Sun and his men have so many people and so much power. Defense will only put us in a passive position!" He advocated taking the initiative and making a quick decision, taking advantage of Boss Sun's unstable footing to catch him off guard.

"No, we're more familiar with the terrain of the villa. It's easy to defend but difficult to attack. We can use this to deplete their strength," Fan Mengmeng analyzed calmly. "Besides, we don't know if they have backup. A rash attack would be too risky."

"But..." Captain Chen wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Fan Mengmeng.

"Captain Chen," Fan Mengmeng said with a sharp gaze, "I know you're brave, but now's not the time to be a hero. We need strategy, not brute force." She paused, her tone softening. "I know you saved me, and I'm grateful. But cooperation requires mutual respect and trust. If you don't trust my judgment, then there's no need for us to work together."

Captain Chen was silent. He looked at Fan Mengmeng's determined eyes and felt a little hesitant.

He knew that what Fan Mengmeng said made sense, but he still felt that taking the initiative would give him a better chance of success.

Time passed minute by minute, and the shouts and cries of killing were deafening outside the villa. Boss Sun's men had begun to try to break through the defense line.

Captain Chen clenched his fists and struggled internally.

Fan Mengmeng didn't rush him, but just stood there quietly, a look of scrutiny in her eyes. She was gambling, gambling on Captain Chen's character, on his sanity.

Finally, Captain Chen took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But you must ensure that your plan can get us through this crisis safely."

Fan Mengmeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile: "Of course. But before that..." Her eyes sharpened, and she looked directly into Captain Chen's eyes, "I need you to answer a few questions for me."

"I want to know, how many people are there in your team? What about their weapons and equipment? How is their combat effectiveness? Also, how much do you know about Boss Sun?" Fan Mengmeng asked questions in rapid succession, her eyes as sharp as a knife, piercing Captain Chen's heart.

Captain Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a test from Fan Mengmeng.

He took a deep breath and answered Fan Mengmeng's questions in detail without hiding anything.

There are fifteen people in his team, and their weapons are mainly homemade knives and sticks, and their fighting ability can only be considered average.

He didn't know much about Boss Sun, only that he was ruthless, had more than a hundred men under him, and was well-equipped.

"Okay." Fan Mengmeng nodded, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

Captain Chen's frankness made her let down her guard a little.

"My plan is this..." She told Captain Chen her ideas in detail, including how to take advantage of the villa's terrain, how to set traps, how to lure the enemy deeper, etc.

Captain Chen listened very carefully, nodded from time to time, and a glimmer of hope gradually ignited in his eyes.

"Okay, let's do it!" Captain Chen slapped his thigh and an excited smile appeared on his face.

He finally understood Fan Mengmeng's plan and felt her wisdom and courage.

He knew that by following this woman, they might really be able to survive!

Outside the villa, the shouting and screaming were getting closer and closer. Boss Sun's men had already broken through the outer defense line and were rushing towards the villa frantically.

Boss Sun was standing on a modified car in the distance with a cruel smile on his face.

He held a telescope in his hand and looked in the direction of the villa, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"Boss, we'll be able to attack soon!" one of the men shouted excitedly.

Boss Sun sneered, "Don't worry, the real show is yet to come." He put down the telescope, a sinister glint in his eyes, "When they run out of ammunition and food, that's when we can really reap the rewards!"

Inside the villa, Fan Mengmeng and Captain Chen were ready for battle.

They moved all the usable supplies upstairs, set up various traps, and waited for the enemy to arrive.

Fan Mengmeng stood at the window, looking at the enemy getting closer and closer, there was no fear in her eyes, only calmness and determination.

"Captain Chen," Fan Mengmeng suddenly said, "I need you to do me a favor."

"What help?" Captain Chen asked in confusion.

"Help me spread some fake news..." Fan Mengmeng's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile.

Her eyes swept across the crowd and finally fell on an inconspicuous man in the team - Li Er.
