Lin Yi struck quickly and precisely!
Like a cold-hearted assassin, his speed was jaw-droppingly fast.
In no time, he had dealt with most of the enemies, leaving only two small thugs passed out on chairs.
"Da Chuan, tie up these two guys for me," Lin Yi ordered over his shoulder.
Then, he stepped forward, approaching the curled-up girls.
Looking at these girls, Lin Yi grimaced and murmured to himself, "Now, how am I supposed to deal with you?"
These girls were exceptionally beautiful, but it was obvious they had been starved for a long time, their bodies weak.
Moreover, they were unclothed, their bodies covered in bruises and wounds, which was quite heart-wrenching.
Seeing Lin Yi approach, the girls were terrified, like little rabbits facing a big bad wolf, retreating into the corner, crying and begging loudly.
Lin Yi was stunned, thinking: Do I look scarier than those thugs? He turned to Chen Youyou, asking, "Do I look like a bad guy?"
"No, boss. You... look like a madman!" Chen Youyou answered seriously, speaking the truth.
Just as Lin Yi was about to argue, he caught sight of a large mirror on the wall, and saw himself—
Wearing bright yellow pants, a pink t-shirt, and leather gloves... his face with a mischievous grin, his clothes splattered with blood spots...
Well, the words were swallowed back.
Alright, Lin Yi was quite helpless, but the priority was to calm these girls down to avoid attracting enemies.
"Shut up, all of you!" Lin Yi growled softly.
Instantly, the room was so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard. After a while, only a few suppressed sobs could be heard.
"Good!" Lin Yi grinned.
"I'm here looking for supplies. If you know the layout of this camp, I can take you to the Louvre and offer some food."
"No... please, I don't want to be used by men anymore..." At this moment, a girl raised her hand, her voice trembling with tears, her body shivering with fear.
She was clearly too weak to resist.
The path before her was either finding a powerful person to rely on, or going to the Louvre to be toyed with by those in power.
The key is that such perverts are everywhere in the Louvre.
"Then what do you want?" Lin Yi asked her.
"I'm willing to work, you can make me do anything except... I can give you everything, but I won't sell my body!" The girl, with tear-stained cheeks but fierce eyes, replied.
"I can hire you, but it's all physical work. I can ensure you have food and safety, but you'll be so tired every day that you can't stand. Are you still willing?"
"Even if I die from exhaustion, as long as I don't starve to death or sell my body, I will work!" The red-haired girl's eyes blazed with determination, her tone firm.
This girl has a fiery spirit, like an Iron Lady.
"You're a good one, wait here." Lin Yi said, and suddenly, he vanished.
He returned to the shelter, drafted a new contract, grabbed a pile of clothes that Chen Youyou had organized, and returned to the real world.
The girls were shocked at Lin Yi's operation, their jaws almost hitting the floor. They couldn't understand how he disappeared and suddenly reappeared with clothes!
"The clothes are free for you. Those who want to work, put them on and come to sign the contract with me." Lin Yi tossed the clothes to the red-haired girl to distribute.
After speaking, he turned to look at Xiaochuan, teasing with a smile, "Put away those lustful gazes, turn around and keep a watch outside."
Da Xiaochuan's face turned red, and he quickly turned, holding his gun and staring at the hallway.
Soon, the girls began dressing, but the scene appeared comical.
The clothes were grabbed at random, sizes and styles mismatched. Some girls wore short skirts with thick winter coats; others wore thin t-shirts with long cotton pants.
Lin Yi saw even the girl who was barely making it in the corner being dressed by her companions.
Therefore, he walked over to the unconscious girl's side, placed his hand on her forehead, and in the blink of an eye, transported her to the shelter.
"She's gone!" a girl exclaimed.
"Where did she go?" the red-haired girl asked Lin Yi, bewildered.
"To a place where she can work," Lin Yi replied seriously, never ambiguous about the residents of the shelter.
"Boss! I also want to work for you!" the red-haired girl pleaded earnestly, her voice filled with sincerity.
"Me too!"
"Me too! Please, I don't want to go through hunger and humiliation anymore!" The girls surrounded Lin Yi, begging him to take them.
Lin Yi nodded and with a wave of his hand, nine contracts appeared in front of the girls.
There were newly added clauses at the bottom of the contracts.
[You have been invited to become a resident of the Space-Time Shelter. Please familiarize yourself with the rules of this shelter.]
If you agree to these rules, please say "I agree," and you will be taken to the shelter.
But please note, the owner of the shelter is its Space-Time Shelter's King and Sovereign.
[As a shelter resident, you have the right]:

If you agree to the terms of this contract, you will automatically be transported to the shelter.
[Appendix]:
No one, including the boss, may violate your will, forcing you into a relationship with any man/woman/unknown entity.
[This clause must not be altered or removed from this contract]
Lin Yi specifically added this clause to the contract. This means the provision applies to all previous contracts.
"I agree!" the red-haired girl declared first, and with that, she disappeared, appearing in the shelter.
"I agree too," said a blonde girl.
Soon, the other girls, one after another, expressed their agreement.
When everything was settled, the room was left with just a few tied-up thugs, Lin Yi, and his people.
Lin Yi looked around and waved his hand, first letting others return to the shelter.
He himself stayed behind to continue searching for supplies.
Inside the shelter, the girls looked around in disbelief as they suddenly found themselves in a clearing in the forest.
Here, tall and straight poplar trees lined up like loyal guards, sunlight streaming through the leaf gaps, adding a touch of dream-like quality to the land.
Not far away, two plots of cultivated land awaited, planted with newly sprouted potatoes, the tender green leaves wavering gently in the breeze, signifying an upcoming harvest.
Beside the fields was a pond, the clear water flowing gently, wildflowers whose names were unknown blooming freely around it.
They soon saw several simple yet cozy tents scattered across the forest clearing.
In the center of the tent cluster was a big pot, smoke swirling above it, with the scent of meat and vegetables wafting around.
Here, there seemed to be no fear, no hunger, none of the terrifying violence and humiliation.
The girls took a deep breath.
At this moment, they realized that stepping into the shelter might be stepping into a hopeful new life.
