A bed that traverses countless worlds

The wind howled, like the roar of a wild beast, making Lin Yu's robes flutter wildly.

He stood atop the ruins' defensive tower, gazing into the distance. On the horizon stretched a dark mass—the camps of the Imperial Legion and the Black-Clad Bandits, like lurking vipers, ready to pounce and bite at any moment.

He could feel the tension in the air, like the calm before a storm, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Damn, is this some kind of setup? Are they trying to wipe me out?" Lin Yu muttered to himself, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

This was no welcoming ceremony; it was a blatant threat. These guys were clearly after the ruins.

Just then, Kong Yang rushed up, a hint of anxiety on his face. "Brother Yu, Jack said he wants to strengthen the defenses and has made some suggestions. What do you think?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at Jack, who was standing not far away with a fawning expression, and sneered inwardly.

"Oh? Is that so?" A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips. "This guy's suddenly so enthusiastic, that's interesting."

Everyone was a little confused. What did Brother Yu mean by this?

Although Jack doesn't usually show off much, he's always been loyal. So why is Brother Yu finding fault with him today?

Jack's smile froze for a moment, and he said sincerely, "Brother Lin Yu, I just want to do my part for the safety of the ruins. Please point out any problems I may have."

Lin Yu snorted coldly, offering no reply, but his eyes, like those of a hawk, were fixed intently on Jack.

He always felt there was something wrong with this guy; this sudden surge of enthusiasm must have some hidden secret.

These days, who doesn't have some acting skills?

People say one thing to your face and another behind your back; who isn't two-faced?

"Kong Yang, strengthening defenses is necessary, but let's put Jack's suggestion aside for now," Lin Yu said calmly, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.

Although Kong Yang was a little confused, he nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Yu."

"Sigh, people's hearts are truly unfathomable," Lin Yu sighed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.

He always felt that this crisis was not only from the outside, but that the internal hidden dangers were even more deadly.

Just then, a light appeared on the horizon, and a voice came from afar, "Guardians of the Ruins, the Imperial Legion has been ordered to take over the ruins. Please open the gate immediately!"

The sound exploded in the sky like thunder, making people's eardrums go numb.

Lin Yu sneered, thinking to himself, "These guys really think they're something special, coming here directly to ask for the ruins?"

Do you really think he's someone easy to bully?

"You want me to open the door? Fine, but only if you step over my dead body!" Lin Yu's voice was as cold as the wind, his tone carrying an unquestionable resolve.

The Imperial Legion's envoy was clearly taken aback by Lin Yu's tough stance. His expression darkened, and his tone became sharp. "A mere cripple dares to be so arrogant! If you know what's good for you, hand over the ruins now, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, kill without mercy!"

"Oh ho, you dare threaten me? You must be tired of living!" Lin Yu sneered, his eyes filled with contempt. "Don't think that just because you're wearing a military uniform you're someone important. In my eyes, you're no different from those clowns!"

The envoy trembled with rage at Lin Yu's words. Pointing at Lin Yu's nose, he shouted sternly, "Stubborn fool! Since that's how it is, then don't blame us for being impolite! Attack!"

At the messenger's command, the soldiers of the Imperial Legion raised their weapons and aimed them at the ruins.

A major battle seems imminent.

However, just as the two sides were about to clash, a shrill scream suddenly came from the forest surrounding the ruins, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Ah! A trap!"

"Help! My leg!"

The black-clad bandits' ambush plan had clearly failed. They ran around the forest like headless flies, with people constantly stepping into the traps Lin Yu had set up, letting out cries of pain.

It turned out that Lin Yu had anticipated that these guys would launch a night attack, so he had set up a large number of traps in the forest in advance.

Those overconfident thieves suffered heavy losses before they even got close to the ruins.

"Wow, Brother Yu is amazing! That was an incredible move!" Kong Yang exclaimed, watching the thieves flee in disarray.

"That's right, look who's leading the team!" Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Just as the Imperial Legion and the Black-Clad Thieves were locked in a stalemate, Lin Yu's gaze turned to the distance.

There, a beam of light flashed, accompanied by a voice echoing in the air, "Lin Yu, long time no see."

"Aysha?" Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. He knew that voice all too well; it was his lover from the desert tribe.

A streak of light flashed, and a letter landed in Lin Yu's hand. The letter revealed Aisha's longing and worry, as well as her unwavering trust in him.

A warm feeling welled up in Lin Yu's heart, and he seemed to see Aisha's passionate face. The tense atmosphere around him also dissipated somewhat.

"This girl is always so thoughtful." A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

However, this warmth did not last long.

The Imperial Legion's probing attack has begun!

Well-trained soldiers surged in like a tide, their battle cries shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Brothers, give them a good beating!" With Lin Yu's command, the ruins' defense system was fully activated, and various energy cannons and laser guns unleashed a furious barrage, sending the charging enemies crashing to the ground.

Kong Yang calmly directed and coordinated the operation, maximizing the effectiveness of the defensive forces.

"Stay calm! Stay calm! Don't panic!" His voice was exceptionally clear amidst the gunfire, instilling great confidence in everyone.

The battle was extremely fierce, with both sides exchanging blows and fighting neck and neck.

Although the Imperial Legion's soldiers were well-trained, they still found it difficult to make any progress against Lin Yu's meticulously designed defensive system.

The battlefield was filled with the sounds of gunfire and smoke, a veritable hell on earth.

Lin Yu maneuvered the bed like a seasoned veteran, nimbly weaving through a hail of bullets, occasionally unleashing a powerful attack to disrupt the enemy's formation.

"Is that all? Is that all you've got? Is that all you've got?" Lin Yu said sarcastically as he operated the equipment, infuriating his enemies.

After a fierce battle, the Imperial Legion's probing attack ended in failure, and the remnants of the army fled in disarray.

"Hmph, a bunch of weaklings, daring to challenge me?" Lin Yu sneered, but he was not at all relaxed.

He knew this was just the calm before the storm; the real crisis was yet to come.

As expected, Lin Yu discovered some abnormal data while checking the defense system.

"What's going on? Why has the energy output of the defense system dropped so much?" Lin Yu frowned, feeling a sense of unease.

He immediately conducted a comprehensive inspection of the system and discovered that the energy transmission at several key nodes had malfunctioned.

This is definitely not a coincidence!

"Could it be... a mole?" Lin Yu's heart sank, and a chill ran through him.

“Jack…” Lin Yu murmured the name, his eyes gradually turning cold.

He turned abruptly and walked into the ruins.

"Kong Yang, you stay here, I'll be right back."

Inside the ruins, it was dark, eerie, and terrifying...
