After getting off the car, he confirmed the direction of his short-term rental and seeing that there was no one around at midnight, Chen Yan boldly used Law Order·Escape Rune Technique directly!
On the nighttime streets, he swept past like a gust of wind!
The few hundred meters distance was covered in one breath, reaching the door of the short-term rental. He felt for his keys, opened the door, and after entering, applied another Talisman to himself.
He first pulled the electric switch down in the house! Even took out the fuses!!
Tightened all the faucets...
No, that’s not enough! Directly shut off the water valve!!
Took the quilt from the bed, disassembled it, wrapped the corners of the cabinets and tables in the room! Used leftover tape from before to stick them tight, making them soft packages!
Looking at the light on the ceiling, Chen Yan directly dismantled the lamp, threw out the tube!
Think again, think again... what else...
There was still the box of instant noodles and the box of mineral water bought earlier, hardly touched.
The next seven days, if need be, I won’t use the stove!
Eat dry instant noodles every day!
If thirsty, drink bottled water!
Hardship is inevitable, survival comes first!
Right, Lu Sisi had mentioned from experience, chew slowly and meticulously, otherwise you might choke or get something stuck in your windpipe.
Yes, brought regular medicines, anti-inflammatory, fever relief, healing injuries...
He didn’t have any physical health issues, no heart disease or high blood pressure.
Misfortune from magic attacks cannot create something out of nothing.
Chen Yan swiftly ran through everything in his mind, then got up and locked all the doors and windows of the house!
Windows were already closed. These old-fashioned windows had metal bars, very firm.
Chen Yan thought, directly dismantling a chair in the room with his hands, taking some wooden strips, used hammer and nails to board up the windows!
The head of each wooden strip was also padded with material from the quilt.
Found all sharp objects in the room that might cause harm.
Bowls, chopsticks, knives... all packed up.
After packing, threw them into the trash bin outside the house!
Back inside, locked the main door firmly!
"From now on, I’m not leaving the room!
Just going to withstand whatever the Heavenly Dao throws at me for seven days!!"
On the first day, Chen Yan lay on the big bed all day!
He only got up a few times to use the restroom throughout the day. With the water valve closed and the tank still holding water, he tried to use it sparingly, flushing only after a few trips.
But he knew, once flushed empty, there wouldn’t be water for the toilet tomorrow.
He stayed on the bed as much as possible, ate dry instant noodles, took small sips of water—to eat and drink less, to reduce trips to the toilet.
In the evening, he suddenly heard the sound of squeaking in the corner of the room.
Looking down, he saw a mouse quickly disappear.
Chen Yan sneered, gently pushed the cabinet aside...
There was indeed a crack in the wall’s plaster behind, and a section of wire had been chewed by the mouse!
"...Luckily I planned thoroughly."
Chen Yan felt secretly relieved.
He had turned off the power switch and removed the fuses!
Otherwise, it might have led to [mouse chewing wires, short circuit, causing fire] this kind of accident?
At midnight, the shelves in the room suddenly fell!
The shelves had originally held household items like bowls, chopsticks, and knives.
If it had fallen on a regular day, there might have been fragments of bowls or even a knife flying...
Then, it could have hit a person sleeping on the bed!
On the second day, Chen Yan went to the bathroom—pinching his nose as he entered, two days without flushing the toilet made it unbearable even in the cold.
As he got up, the toilet’s water tank suddenly fell and cracked on the floor.
Chen Yan silently watched the scene...
If he hadn’t turned off the water valve, the tank would still hold water, which would then spill everywhere.
He might slip and fall...
He carefully checked the broken area, sure enough, it was due to aging rubber and screws falling off.
On the third day, Chen Yan, leaning on the bed, was eating instant noodles when suddenly the ceiling part where the light fixture was fell off and a wire dropped down!
Chen Yan looked up, silently observing the hanging wire, his eyes cold.
He had dismantled the light beforehand.
Otherwise, if the light were still there, it would’ve fallen on his head now. And if it still carried electricity... Hmph!
The fourth day, fifth day, sixth day...
Until eleven o’clock on the night of the sixth day!
Chen Yan barely closed his eyes—such things were like a knife to his throat, how could he sleep?
Relying on daily meditation to move Primordial Qi, occasionally dozing off but waking in alert moments later.
He had turned off his phone to save battery for the last day’s use.
Didn’t bring dangerous items like power banks which might explode or catch fire.
He didn’t even know the exact time now.
Despite his utmost caution, he still suffered a bit.
In the afternoon, when he fell asleep from exhaustion, the bed collapsed! Later inspection showed it was due to the aging frame.
In his sleep, he rolled sideways quickly, fortunate to always be vigilant, immediately reacting when something felt wrong!
But even with this quick response, he still got hurt.
An exposed nail from the collapsing bed frame pierced directly into Chen Yan’s hand...
