Avery didn't want someone so ugly to leave their saliva on her body.
She touched the back of the man's neck and hit him hard. He fell down immediately.
"Ah! You killed him? You actually dared to kill him!"
The man lying on the ground had just started to recover from the pain when he saw what happened. He was so scared that he tried to run away.
He thought his companion was killed by this woman. Her moves were so fast, when she kicked him earlier, he couldn't even see how she moved her leg.
"Oh no, don't run! I've been drugged with an aphrodisiac, and now you're the only man here. You need to stay and help me get rid of it. Otherwise, what am I supposed to do?"
Avery quickly ran over, grabbed his hair, and threw him to the ground.
"Auntie please! We didn't drug you, this has nothing to do with us."
The man, dizzy from being thrown down, quickly got up to beg for mercy.
It was clear he couldn't beat this woman. She was fast and strong.
"Sigh, this isn't fun at all."
Avery walked over and hit the back of his neck too.
She didn't want to waste any more time with him, because she really was feeling uncomfortable.
She turned off all the cameras they had set up and tied the man up.
Then she went into the bathroom, filled the bathtub with water, and got in. She also tried using her ice power.
But only a thin layer of frost appeared on the water's surface. Nothing else happened.
"Sigh, why is my ice power so weak now? It's not even at the beginner level."
Avery tried her other powers too, but the results were the same—too weak.
Especially her space ability. It used to be endless, but now it was probably just over a thousand square meters.
The things she had stored before were now packed tight inside, some items even getting squashed.
"Sigh, what should I do if I'm too weak? According to the original owner's memory, this world doesn't seem to have zombie cores. Then how will I upgrade my powers?"
Yes, Avery had just received all the original owner's memories.
They had the same name. Her eighteenth birthday was in a few days, and today she was tricked out by her cousin Rose.
Just earlier at the bar, Rose gave her an aphrodisiac.
And when she accidentally touched the light switch and got shocked, she ended up coming here.
Rose gave her that kind of drug, and it was clear what she intended. The original owner knew her life was over, so she gave up resisting.
Her dad, mom, and brother didn't like her. Neither her adoptive nor biological parents.
No relatives liked her or believed in her.
There was no one in the world who would help her. She had serious depression and low self-esteem. Living was painful, so she didn't want to live anymore. Maybe dying was her only escape.
"You silly girl, why live just to please others? Why care about how others see or feel about you?
Just live the way that makes you happy. If you keep worrying about others, you'll always be tired. What's the point of suffering like that?"
Avery thought the girl was too foolish. But now that she had taken over this body, she would make it live happily and joyfully. That would be her way of paying her back.
Avery relaxed in the bathtub. Even if her powers couldn't be upgraded, it didn't really matter. After all, in this world, you couldn't kill people casually.
If you got caught killing someone, you'd either go to prison or be executed.
Now that she was in such a good world, she didn't want to die again. She wanted to live well and enjoy everything she missed in her previous life.
Thinking of that made Avery remember that she had never slept with a man in her last life.
During the first few years after the apocalypse started, there were still many men. But she was still young then.
Later, things got more dangerous. If you weren't careful, you'd get eaten.
Don't even talk about married couples, even fathers and sons often killed each other.
But the four of them in the family were doing well, maybe because they never had to worry about food.
She awakened her space ability right from the beginning and collected a lot of supplies. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to survive alone for so long.
Avery thought and thought until she fell asleep. The next morning, when she woke up,
"Mm! Mm!"
The two men outside were still tied up. Their mouths were also stuffed.
When they saw Avery come out, they kept making muffled noises, trying to get her to release them.
"You want me to let you go, don't you? Actually, it's not impossible."
Avery sat down again on the edge of the bed.
"Mm! Mm!"
The two men moved their bodies and kept bowing their heads to her.
"How did you get in touch with my cousin? Contact her right now. Do you know what I want?"
Just as Avery finished speaking, her phone rang.
She looked at it, it was a call from the housekeeper, but she didn't answer it.
"Mm! Mm!"
The two men kept bowing their heads again. They both knew they couldn't beat this woman, so now they could only accept their fate.
Avery saw them like that and pulled the towel out of one man's mouth.
"Pretty lady, as long as you let us go, we'll do whatever you say. And we're not even close to that woman. She just gave us fifty thousand yuan to film some videos of you. Now that we can't beat you, we just want to stay alive."
The man could talk now, but his hands and feet were still tied. He didn't dare say a single useless word.
"Fine, I believe you. I'll wait right here. You've got ten minutes. After ten minutes, I want to see what I asked for. Otherwise, heh."
Avery reached under the pillow and pulled out a fruit knife.
She turned it over in her hands, looking at it from both sides.
"Miss, don't worry. I know you want proof of our contact with that woman. I'll get it."
The man got more scared when he saw her holding a knife.
Avery held the fruit knife and stabbed it toward the man's chest.
"Ah! Miss, have mercy!"
The man screamed when he saw the knife coming at him.
"What are you yelling for? I'm just cutting the rope. You're so scared, and you still dare to mess around out there."
Avery slid the knife outward, and the rope tying him snapped.
Then she stood up and walked to the door. If they tried anything, she'd make them suffer more.
The man quickly took off the rest of the rope on his body and checked his chest.
There was a red mark from top to bottom where the knife had passed earlier.
Luckily, the blade was facing outward. If it had been turned the other way, the knife would've gone straight through his chest.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It was his first time meeting such a ruthless woman.
But now wasn't the time to be scared. He quickly pulled out his phone and called the woman from yesterday.
Money didn't matter anymore. His life was more important. If he didn't get the proof, this demon woman wouldn't let them go.
