Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Chapter 721: Chapter 682: It Looks Like a Cardboard Box, But It’s Actually an Escape Space

Before Lili could pass the movie to her assistant, the buildings around them suddenly collapsed with a thunderous crash. The very house where Zhao Rong and his four companions were staying also began to shake. The ceiling swayed precariously, threatening to collapse and bury them at any moment.

Seeing this terrifying scene, the three women immediately hid behind Zhao Rong. "Oh no, Zhao Rong, could this be an earthquake?" one of them cried out in terror.

Lili clasped her head, her eyes fixed on a nearby table. "Zhao Rong, I learned in school that if an earthquake happens, we should immediately hide under a table or bed to stay safe for a while!"

"I don’t think this is an earthquake, Zhao Rong," Yu Lan said, shaking her head. "It feels more like sabotage..."

"I think someone must have placed a bomb around here, or buried one underground, and it just exploded!" a worried Xuelian added.

The assistant, even more panic-stricken, stammered, "Zhao Rong, do you think it’s possible that there’s a giant turtle underground, and its shell is moving? Is that why the earth is shaking so dramatically?"

Just as everyone was speculating, a package suddenly flew in through the window and landed right at Zhao Rong’s feet.

While opening the package, Zhao Rong said to the four of them, "Miss Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, as soon as I open this, we’re all jumping inside. That way, even if we encounter a magnitude 18 earthquake, we can still escape safely."

When Zhao Rong opened the package, a square cardboard box appeared before them.

Lili stared at the flimsy, fragile box, completely bewildered. "Zhao Rong, the roof is about to collapse! It’s made of heavy marble! If we hide inside a cardboard box, we’ll still be crushed to death!"

Yu Lan took out a lighter and touched it to the box. Seeing how easily it caught fire, she asked Zhao Rong in confusion, "Zhao Rong, shouldn’t something earthquake-proof also be fireproof? This box you bought isn’t just flimsy, but it’s also highly flammable! If we hide in there, even if we aren’t crushed, we’ll be burned alive!"

Xuelian was already searching for an escape route. "Zhao Rong, instead of just staring at that box, we should be finding a way out of here now!" she urged everyone.

Just as the three women were panicking, Zhao Rong opened the cardboard box and jumped in first. "I forgot to tell you," he called out, "this is no ordinary cardboard box. Its scientific name is the Escape Space. Don’t say another word. Just follow me inside!"

With that, Zhao Rong pulled Lili, Yu Lan, and Xuelian into the Escape Space. After the three women jumped in, the assistant scrambled over and dove in as well.

Once they were all inside with Zhao Rong, they were immediately stunned by the interior.

Lili stared at the reinforced metal walls of the Escape Space, along with the stores of food and water. She said in amazement, "Zhao Rong, you weren’t kidding! This ’cardboard box’ is incredibly sturdy! Even if the marble ceiling, weighing tens of tons, falls on us, it won’t be able to harm us in here!"

Zhao Rong smiled and told her, "Lili, what you don’t know is that when I bought this Escape Space, the manual said it was designed to withstand the explosions of nuclear weapons like atomic and hydrogen bombs."

Hearing this, Yu Lan grew intrigued. "Zhao Rong," she asked, "are you saying that if we hide in this Escape Space, we could survive even if atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, or other nuclear weapons went off right outside?"

Zhao Rong nodded. "That’s right, Yu Lan. The surface of this Escape Space may look like paper, but it’s not. It’s actually made from an incredibly hard metallic material unknown on Earth. This material not only withstands immense pressure and impact, but it’s also fireproof, waterproof, and explosion-proof."

A curious Xuelian asked, "Zhao Rong, what’s the longest we could stay inside this Escape Space?"

The five of us, staying in this Escape Space... Even with food and water, lasting a month would be impressive enough, right? she thought.

However, to her surprise, Zhao Rong simply smiled and said, "Xuelian, you might not believe this, but it’s true. As long as we want to live in this Escape Space, we can stay for as long as we like."

With that, Zhao Rong led Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, and the assistant deeper into the structure of the Escape Space.

As he guided them past a plastic greenhouse, he pointed and explained, "Various organic vegetables are grown in here. They’re all controlled by smart chips, so they grow automatically without any work from us. Whenever we pick a vegetable, a new one automatically grows to replace it. Essentially, if we live in here, our supply of vegetables is truly inexhaustible."

Hearing that the vegetables were endless, the three women and the assistant looked at Zhao Rong with excitement. "Zhao Rong, this Escape Space is incredible! Not only can we live in it, but it also has an endless supply of organic vegetables! This is amazing!"

Before they could even finish, Zhao Rong pointed to a nearby farm and said with a smile, "Of course, this Escape Space has more than just greens; it also has all kinds of meat. Look, that livestock farm has pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, and more. If you want to eat pork, you just have to press a button. The system will automatically take a pig to a machine, which then processes it into a variety of delicious pork dishes."
