Other than that old lady, he’d never told anyone else about this.
He’d only shared those stories to cheer her up, and because of his identity, he’d told her his real name. Now, hearing this girl repeat those words, he knew he owed her some help.
The only thing that didn’t add up was how familiar she seemed with him.
Seeing that he believed her, Mo Yuwan didn’t say anything more and got straight to the point.
“I’ll give you a name. In three days, find a way to get all his money and give it to me.”
“And, how much cash do you have? Within ten days, you must convert it all into high-damage weapons—heavy weapons.”
She emphasized those last three words, her voice low enough for only the two of them to hear.
Hearing this girl ask for his entire fortune and mention heavy weapons, his eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing.
“You want all my money? What makes you think I’ll agree?”
Mo Yuwan just smiled sweetly, as if she hadn’t noticed his change in mood, still looking cute and harmless.
“You will.”
She handed him her phone number and the dossier on Ye Gaoyuan she’d prepared, then stood up.
“When it’s done, just call me. It has to be within three days, or you’ll regret it.”
With that, she left, not even staying for a coffee.
Gu Yongnian thought for a moment but didn’t stop her. This girl looked barely of age, yet knew so many of his secrets. It was strange.
If she hadn’t known about his profession and asked him to convert all his money into heavy weapons, he would have just assumed she was the old lady’s descendant. But now, things weren’t so simple.
If it were anyone else, he might have acted immediately. But this girl was different.
His mercenary instincts told him: at first, she seemed like just a young girl, but then he sensed a dangerous aura from her.
After leaving, Mo Yuwan went straight home. Her mother trusted her completely, and the house was now filled with takeout. Mo Yuwan started storing everything in her space.
With a hundred square meters of space, it was almost full.
She realized it was time to buy some shelves.
There was something else important: they needed to sell the house and turn it into cash. As for a place to live after the apocalypse, she already had the perfect spot in mind.
Once everything was packed away, she brought up the idea of buying a new place with her mother.
Mo Siying was clearly worried.
“The apocalypse hasn’t started yet. If we sell the house, where will we live?”
Mo Yuwan just smiled mysteriously. That evening, after dinner, she had her mom change into the combat gear and boots they’d bought, then drove her to a certain spot.
It was an unremarkable mountain on the edge of the city, completely undeveloped, with no hiking trails.
The base was overgrown with weeds, desolate and wild. The only path was a barely noticeable trail, and it took about ten minutes to reach a cave.
After the apocalypse, Mo Yuwan had been to many places—sometimes in a base, sometimes wandering alone or with others.
This was the place where she’d met Gu Yongnian in her previous life.
There was a cave up there.
Both Mo Siying and the current Mo Yuwan had the bodies of city dwellers—compared to post-apocalypse survivors, they were weak. Even with all her skills, Mo Yuwan’s body couldn’t keep up; she had the moves but not the stamina.
By the time they reached the cave entrance, both were out of breath.
But Mo Yuwan knew this place was very safe.
If not for needing supplies after the apocalypse, they’d never have left.
Most importantly…
The entrance was hidden by thick plants. Mo Yuwan used tools from her space to clear the way, and they went inside.
A cool breeze swept away the late-summer heat.
Mo Yuwan led her mother deeper in.
The cave entrance was narrow—easy to miss—but inside, it opened up. The further they went, the bigger it got, until they reached the end.
It was bigger, but not enough for a bed.
“Wanwan, this cave is nice, but without any protection, it’s not practical. You can’t even fit a bed in here.”
Mo Yuwan didn’t argue. She turned to her mother.
“Mom, do you know what a hidden world is?”
With that, she took out an entrenching tool and started digging at the floor.
Mo Siying didn’t quite get it, but from her daughter’s words, she guessed there was more to this cave.
She asked for a tool and joined in.
In less than ten minutes, they uncovered an entrance big enough for two people, expertly camouflaged with dirt.
Even though she’d been prepared, Mo Siying was still startled.
Mo Yuwan jumped down first, landing smoothly.
The drop was about three meters. Mo Siying looked down, afraid to jump.
Mo Yuwan set her flashlight aside and called up, “Mom, it’s okay, I’ll catch you.”
Seeing her daughter waiting below, arms outstretched, Mo Siying hesitated, then overcame her fear and jumped.
Mo Yuwan, though not at full strength, caught her mother with practiced ease, then gestured for her to look behind.
It was a huge space, with a door—clearly, they weren’t in the main area yet.
Mo Yuwan confidently pushed open the door, revealing a vast chamber before their eyes.
