Apocalyptic Disaster: I Hoard Billions in Supplies and Kill the Saint

94: Chapter 94 The Dependence of a Baby Animal Hatching from its ShellYe Nanxing uncorked the jade bottle.

A wisp of soft mist floated from the bottle’s mouth, warm and clear, like a sweet spring from melting snow on a mountain.

”What are you planning to do?” Chu Yunting asked in a low voice.

”Trying to see if I can wake him up.”

She offered no explanation, merely leaning down to slowly drip a drop of spiritual spring water.

The moment it fell, the air seemed to be struck by some kind of energy, rippling with an almost imperceptible wave.

Chu Yunting’s eyes narrowed slightly, his body instinctively tensing.

The spiritual spring water hadn’t even landed yet, but it gave him the illusion that his skin had been brushed by a micro-electric current.

That was no ordinary liquid.

It was an energy entity of unknown structure, yet capable of resonating with consciousness frequencies.

”What kind of water is this?”

Chu Yunting asked in a low voice, his gaze so dark it could drip ink.

But Ye Nanxing did not respond.

She didn’t even look up, merely continuing her actions with a calm indifference.

She knew he was watching.

She knew he was shocked.

She also knew how many speculations, how much covetousness, and how many unpredictable future storms this single drop of water would incite.

Yet she still said nothing.

—She would not explain.

Explanations were a luxury.

She wasn’t trusting anyone; she was simply choosing silence.

And in this world, not explaining was often safer than explaining.

A second drop of spiritual spring water fell slowly, causing the temperature-controlled crystal layer inside the glass cover to vibrate slightly.

The next second, the Child’s eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.

They were a pair of extremely clean black eyes—calm, clear, and carrying a sense of tranquility that made one instinctively want to get close.

There was no hostility.

Nor was there unfamiliarity.

His first glance was fixed on Ye Nanxing.

Immediately after, he leaned gently against the inner wall of the glass, as if instinctively searching for the direction of the spiritual spring water.

Chu Yunting whispered from the side: ”He recognizes you.”

Ye Nanxing did not answer.

She merely extended her finger slowly, pressing it against the glass.

And in that instant, the Child also raised his hand, pressing his finger against hers through the cold air.

A mental fluctuation quietly unfolded—

No words.

Only a single thought.

I have been waiting for you for a long time.

Under the glass cover, the Child’s finger rested lightly on the spot where Ye Nanxing’s finger was.

The cold texture was enveloped by a gentle emotion from the depths of the soul—

Trust, dependence, and even... peace.

Ye Nanxing stared into his eyes, not moving.

But the next second, an alarm trigger appeared.

It wasn’t an audible alarm, but an intuitive signal where her skin vibrated slightly and her consciousness fluctuations encountered interference—

Someone was monitoring this place.

The sub-control terminal on Chu Yunting’s wrist vibrated slightly at this moment.

He looked down at it.

There was only one sentence:

”You have crossed the line.”

Chu Yunting’s gaze sharpened.

At the same time, a red light strip lit up on a section of the wall at the end of the orbital shaft. The dormant biological sensors were forcibly awakened, and a row of red scanning lines emerged from the wall, weaving into a scanning net that covered the entire passage.

A slight beep sounded in the air; it was the system’s target identification prompt.

The next second, the cold, mechanical system broadcast voice rang out:

[Target status abnormal]

[Mental frequency exceeds registered range]

[Synchronized upload complete · Preparing to initiate emergency control procedures]

Chu Yunting frowned: ”We are being monitored.”

Ye Nanxing narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning cold instantly, and she quickly rose from in front of the experimental cabin.

She wasn’t panicked, but her tone was colder:

”They aren’t here to check the situation.”

”They are here to capture us.”

Chu Yunting glanced at her: ”How do you judge that?”

Ye Nanxing swept her gaze over the scanning beams, her tone extremely steady:

”Ordinary investigations are silent recordings; they don’t upload data on the spot.”

”Only if the higher-ups have issued orders in advance will they directly transmit mental fluctuations on the spot.”

”What does this mean?”
