Night fell.

Although Diona desperately wanted to sleep with Lin Mo, hypocrite that she was, she ended up sleeping on the sofa after all.

“…”

Lin Mo lay under the covers, pressing the girl’s blanket against his face as he took a deep breath.

He caught a pleasant scent. It wasn’t the fragrance of shower gel, but rather her own uniquely alluring, faintly sweaty aroma.

“Hah, guess that’s enough for today.”

Clutching the blanket, Lin Mo flopped onto the bed in a huff.

He had been certain something would happen tonight—yet in the end, nothing did.

“Well, there’s no rush.”

“Anyway, we’re living together now—hmph, sooner or later I’ll definitely…”

He hugged the quilt tightly with his arms and legs, then rolled over twice more on the medium-sized bed with its soft mattress.

Diona was just too seductive…

Every smile, every gesture, every movement irresistibly drew Lin Mo’s gaze.

But as his rosy fantasies slowly faded, Lin Mo found himself alone in a girl’s bedroom. Once his excitement had subsided, he couldn’t help thinking again about those “friends” of his.

They were all transmigrators.

Some had been sent to another world by a huge truck. Others had arrived in another world after their hearts stopped while driving a huge truck and sending someone else there.

Some had been dating a boyfriend when the relationship fell apart. They decided to threaten him by jumping off a building, then accidentally missed their footing.

Others had turned off the stove while cooking but forgotten to shut off the gas. They fell asleep and never woke up.

In short, everyone had died once already.

“Why did that Black Rabbit have to lead us into such a dead end?”

“And what exactly is going on with this world? Even by the standards of an apocalypse, this place is way too cruel…”

Human life was treated like a cheap, worthless commodity.

Betrayals between scavenger teams were extremely common, too.

The women seemed to have strange tumors growing in their brains. They went wild whenever they saw a handsome man.

On top of that, they were incredibly strong and formidable fighters. Lin Mo and the others had already seen how terrifying these people could be when they encountered other scavengers. But it wasn’t until Lin Mo actually tried to fight off the bandits who were about to kill them that he understood just how vast the gap between the two worlds was.

He was the best assassin there was, and he wasn’t just bragging. As long as he had enough ammunition, he was confident he could take out a special forces squad of fewer than twenty without getting hurt—as long as they didn’t use heavy weapons to bombard every area within sight.

“Even I have to spend ages trying to strangle a bandit in this world. And when I tried to take out the leader first, I got killed instead.”

Lin Mo tried moving around on the bed.

Strength, reaction speed, even judgment.

“Could it be the food?”

“Or does it have something to do with genetics?”

Lin Mo rolled over again.

He couldn’t make sense of it.

Whatever. He might as well get some sleep tonight and deal with everything else tomorrow.

…

…………

Two hours later.

Creak—

Very slowly, someone outside gently pushed open the bedroom door Lin Mo had left half-closed.

“Hoo, haa… haa—hoo…”

Diona was wearing only a pair of tiny panties, her upper body completely bare. She quietly gripped the doorknob, peeking her face inside from the doorway with furtive caution.

“Xiao Mo.”

She lowered her voice. “Xiao Mo, are you still awake?”

“…………” (Lin Mo)

Of course Lin Mo was still awake.

Out of professional habit, he was always a light sleeper. The slightest disturbance nearby would leave him hovering in a half-dreaming, half-waking state.

After a quick assessment, Lin Mo decided he probably didn’t need to be fully alert, so he stayed asleep.

“Xiao Mo—”

Diona called out again.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn’t respond, the girl tiptoed slowly, squeezing her body through the slightly ajar door.

“It’s not like I absolutely have to disturb your rest~~”

“I just… since I need to buy some clothes, I wanted to ask a little about your height and build. And your arm length, leg length, foot size.”

Diona swallowed softly.

Slowing her breathing, she continued tiptoeing toward the sleeping Lin Mo.

“Hey…”

“Xiao Mo?”

“Are you… still awake?”

“…………”

“You must be awake by now, right?”

Diona pressed her lips tightly together.

Her eyes held a trace of fervor, yet also a hint of hesitation. Perhaps if Lin Mo so much as stirred, this girl who had only just worked up her courage would immediately bolt from the room.

“Ah. Actually, no—I actually forgot something in here and need to grab it.”

She was still making excuses.

Lin Mo was utterly speechless. Wasn’t she afraid she’d actually wake him up?

But given the situation, Lin Mo could only continue pretending to sleep for now. After all, the current circumstances made it abundantly clear that Diona absolutely had feelings—and desires—for him. So he wondered: if I keep playing asleep, what will she do next?

“…” Diona finally crept quietly to Lin Mo’s bedside.

Moonlight from outside filtered through the sheer curtains, dimly illuminating the room.

Facing Lin Mo’s serene sleeping face, the girl stood nervously right in front of him, suppressing her emotions as she swallowed again.

“Xiao Mo?”

She whispered, “Xiao Mo, are you awake?”

“Are you awake yet?”

“Still not awake?”

“If—even in such a dangerous situation—you still haven’t woken up…”

As she murmured these words,

She seemed to start moving in front of him again.

But Lin Mo kept his eyes closed. Since he was still feigning sleep, he even maintained a steady, rhythmic breathing pattern.

So he had no idea what Diona was actually doing in front of him… He simply grew increasingly puzzled and suspicious. Seriously, why hadn’t this girl pounced on him yet?

“Hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.”

“You little slut.”

“Say, you’ve been tempting me all day today, haven’t you? I can tell. You talk so properly and put on such a cute expression—but deep down, you’ve wanted me to [content censored by Black Rabbit God] you all along, haven’t you? Haven’t you? Hehe…”

Panting and giggling, Diona seemed to be lightly tracing her fingers across Lin Mo’s face and the back of his hand.

“You really are a hopeless little XX, looking so sexy even when you’re asleep.”

“You like me, don’t you? You want to kiss me right now, don’t you? The two of us together…”

Diona’s breath drew closer and closer.

Lin Mo felt her press a kiss to his cheek.

“Hoo, hoo…”

“No. Not yet. I have to hold back.”

Muttering to herself, she seemed to be lifting Lin Mo’s blanket, intending to slip in and sleep beside him.

(That little pervert.)

Lin Mo continued feigning sleep, but inwardly he thought—so even you’re no different from all those other women!

But since Diona was such a stunning beauty, and she treated him so well—well then, whatever she planned to do next, Lin Mo wouldn’t resist.

And then—

He felt himself being touched.
