Chapter 1171: Disassemble and Assemble the Gun to Prove It
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I’m your daughter, but I’m not seventeen anymore. In fact, I’m already twenty-four. So of course, I’m different.” Hearing Mr. Dong ask who she was, Lin Wenwen answered the question calmly. She looked around, then said, “If this body of mine wasn’t so fat and weak, I’d be able to throw him ten meters away.”
While speaking, Lin Wenwen pointed at Dong Lijia, who had his teeth bared in pain and his arm dropped powerlessly.
Lin Wenwen hit his funny bone, so he felt as if an electric current had run through his entire arm. He definitely didn’t want to try that again.
“That’s why she’s been exercising these days. She’s not only working out, but also training herself to grow some strength,” Dong Lijia helped her with the explanation.
Mr. Dong looked at Dong Lijia, then at Lin Wenwen. He clearly knew that his daughter wasn’t able to throw away a grown man like what she did to Dong Lijia so neatly and quickly, not even if Dong Lijia put an arm in her hands without fighting back at all.
He was surprised, and also started to struggle. What his daughter just said sounded like complete nonsense. Apocalypse? People turn into walking dead? That sounded like a zombie movie. How could that ever happen in the real world?
However, the skill that his daughter displayed just now could not be explained by what he already knew.
“You… First, tell me how did you get the combat skills? Also, you said that you’re already twenty-four. What does that mean?” He looked at Lin Wenwen and asked.
“Oh, after the apocalypse, you might be eaten by zombies if you’re not fast enough. As for my age… I’m from the future. Dad, I’m not seventeen anymore,” Lin Wenwen looked at him and said seriously. After a brief pause, she continued, “I know what will happen seven years from now. I survived in the post-apocalyptic era for seven years. I have not only learned how to fight and protect myself, but also learned how to read people. So believe me, everything I said is true.”
Mr. Dong even suffered a headache. He still didn’t understand how his daughter suddenly became a completely different person. He still didn’t want to believe what she said. However, she made it sound very real.
“… I still can’t believe it. Xinxin, what you said is too… unscientific!” He looked at Lin Wenwen and said.
“How do you explain all the changes that have happened to me? None of this is scientific. How about this? I’ll prove it to you again. Can you give me a real gun?” Lin Wenwen looked at him, then thought for a moment and asked. She understood that having a gun was a very easy thing for a rich man like Mr. Dong. With his capability, he could have tens of guns in secret.
She wanted very much to take out a gun directly from her space, but by doing that, she would expose her space. Dong Lijia had known about her space already, but in order to keep her true identity secret, he wouldn’t let her do that.
If she used her power now, after she left, Mr. Dong might find out that Dong Xinxin doesn’t have a space. He then might doubt her for that.
“What? What do you need that for? You shouldn’t touch something so dangerous!” Mr. Dong changed his attitude once Dong Xinxin asked him for a gun.
A real gun would be no joke. It could kill somebody!
“If you don’t give me a gun, how am I gonna prove it to you that I’ve really experienced seven years of the post-apocalyptic era? Don’t worry, you can take away all the bullets,” said Lin Wenwen.
“No! You’re just a kid. How can you play with something like that?” Mr. Dong still shook his head with a serious look.
Lin Wenwen turned to Dong Lijia. It was his job to convince his parents, but now, Lin Wenwen was doing it. She should be asking him for help.
Dong Lijia was still mad at her because he believed that the real her might be a short and ugly and nasty man. But still, he had to respond to her.
“Dad, just give it to her. Since you think that she’s talking nonsense, you should give her a chance to prove what she said. As she said, you can empty the chamber. Nothing will happen. Just let us see what she wants the gun for,” Dong Lijia tried to convince his father.
“Do you believe what she said?” Mr. Dong looked at him and asked, “How can you believe something so ridiculous?”
Clearly, his father would not give something as dangerous as a gun to Lin Wenwen. So, he stood up and walked to the bookcase, then moved one book and reached his hand in before fumbling for a few seconds.
Watching his movements, Mr. Dong instantly stood up and yelled, “Stop it! How did you know about that place?”
Dong Lijia soon retracted his hand. Next, a small drawer popped out of the bookcase; in the drawer was a pistol.
That was a real pistol!
“Oh, I know about all your secrets, including where you keep your secret money. Should I tell Mom about that?” While taking out the gun, Dong Lijia said to his father.
“How dare you!” On hearing what he said, Mr. Dong immediately scolded him angrily. He didn’t sound so confident actually. While speaking, he even unwittingly gave the door a glimpse.
Dong Lijia ignored his father. He took out all the bullets in the gun, then put the empty gun before Lin Wenwen.
Lin Wenwen had asked Dong Xinxin how much time she needed to disassemble and assemble a pistol. In the post-apocalyptic era, many people could do that, not to mention the zombie hunters like Dong Xinxin.
The answer that Dong Xinxin gave her was fifteen seconds at least. That could already amaze some commoners.
Lin Wenwen herself couldn’t do much better than that. Of course, she wouldn’t be able to reach her current level without the year of training she had in All Beings Base.
As Dong Lijia put the gun before her, she pulled out the cartridge clip out to show Dong Lijia and his father that it was empty and safe. She put the cartridge back in, and after that, she started to disassemble the pistol and then reassemble it. She did it so smoothly and quickly that the two couldn’t even see her movements clearly.
Following a series of clicking and cracking, the dissembled gun was re-assembled. She wasn’t really fast actually, but she was definitely not slow. No one who didn’t know well about guns could do what she did.
“Alright, you guys can check it now, and Dad, you should take some time to think carefully. Would the old me ever be able to do something like this? Think about what I said earlier,” Lin Wenwen said and stood up. “I’m going back to my room.” After saying that, she turned and left.
As same as Dong Lijia, Mr. Dong also needed time to process what she said. The two men from Dong Family were left in the room, staring at the re-assembled gun in silence.
