Apocalyptic World: Surviving with my husband and my cute little babies Chapter 74: Beauty Trap

The mont the door closed, Elena quickly inspected the inventory room. In addition to food and other necessities, she noticed an extensive array of firearms, ranging from basic models to the most complex and dangerous weapons.

With a sense of urgency, she began to gather these items first.

"Look, husband! Haha! These criminals are incredibly wealthy and must have a lot of connections to amass this kind of firearm," Elena exclaid.

"I think you’re right. Now I’m curious about who their leader is," Ethan replied, his gaze fixed on the piled firearms.

Elena continued exploring other parts of the room and discovered various explosives.

Among them were dynamite, C4, TNT, ANFO, Semtex, RDX, PETN, nitroglycerin, black powder, flash powder, smoke bombs, Molotov cocktails, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), fertilizer bombs, shaped charges, grenades, landmines, claymore mines, explosive bolts, and detonating cord.

"They are clearly prepared to take over City B. With these kinds of items, victory is surely within their reach. Perhaps this is also why the governnt has retreated from the city," Elena said as she stored the explosive items.

"Hmm, they might be working with the underworld, and their boss is probably a big shot there," Ethan suggested.

Elena nodded in agreent. But inside, she couldn’t help but think, ’Or maybe they have connections to the military.’

She then moved to the other side of the room, where wines and alcohol were neatly stocked. Her eyebrows raised slightly; the drinks were ticulously displayed on the shelves, while the food was carelessly tossed aside.

’Tsk, tsk... these criminals really live up to their reputations.’

She imdiately stored everything, leaving nothing behind.

"This is all mine... Haha!" Elena exclaid joyfully.

Seeing the joy on his wife’s face, Ethan couldn’t help but gaze at her with affection.

’Smile, wife. I want you to be always happy.’

He then glanced over to another area and discovered a large stash of condoms.

"Wife, don’t forget about these!" Ethan said playfully.

Elena turned to see her husband calling her over with enthusiasm.

She then noticed him holding a variety of condoms, ranging from expensive brands to ordinary ones, including so they were currently using.

Her face flushed red at the sight of the items; her husband was so blatant, displaying no sha at all.

’Why can’t he just use his [Inventory]? Why does he feel the need to emphasize this and call over?’

Elena glared at him, her cheeks flushed with embarrassnt.

"Wife, they even have the brand we use!" Ethan said with a cheeky grin.

"Okay, that’s enough! I’ll take care of it," Elena replied as she quickly stored the items.

After a few minutes of hard work, they had stored everything except for the bulky items near the entrance. These items were awkwardly positioned, and removing them would likely attract attention.

Now, Elena was deep in thought, trying to figure out how to lure the guard into the inventory room. They were stationed just outside, keeping a close watch, and she needed a clever way to distract them.

Then a brilliant idea flashed in her mind—an old tactic her comrades had often used in the past.

"Wife, why are you taking off your disguise?" Ethan asked, noticing Elena’s removing his makeup.

"Of course, to lure them inside," Elena replied with a sly smile.

"What do you an, wife?" Ethan asked, puzzled.

"Beauty trap," she said, winking at him.

’Every man’s weakness’

"No..." Ethan protested firmly.

He then hugged her from behind as Elena focused on removing her makeup. She was trying to concentrate, carefully wiping away the remnants of her ugly disguise, but Ethan playfully interrupted her every move, disagreeing with the idea.

’What the heck is this situation? It looks like they’ve been acting lovey-dovey in the middle of a mission.’

"Wife, can we think of another solution? I don’t like the idea of soone seeing you so beautiful," Ethan said, planting soft kisses on her cheeks now and then, his playful tone contrasting with the seriousness of their situation.

Elena smiled at his affection but remained focused.

"This is the best solution. You won’t let them touch , right?"

"Of course, wife," Ethan replied, his voice steady, but his expression turned serious as he glared at the door.

’If they dare to try anything, I will definitely make them regret it.’

"There you go. Let’s start the mission," Elena said, admiring her reflection as she finalized her goddess-like makeup look.

"Hmmm. Wife, you look so beautiful in your makeup," Ethan said, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

Before Elena could respond, her wolf husband leaned in and kissed her lips passionately, catching her off guard.

’Is this man jealous?’

Afterward, they both pulled away, panting slightly from the intensity of the kiss. Elena glared at her husband, her cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassnt and delight.

Seeing her blush only intensified Ethan’s desire; he couldn’t help but lean in for another kiss. Just as he did, Elena raised a hand to stop his antics.

"Stop! Kiss again, and you’ll be sleeping in the next room later," Elena warned him, trying to maintain her focus on the mission.

They were in the middle of an important task, and Ethan’s playful antics tested her patience.

"I can’t help it, wife. Just don’t get angry, okay," he replied with a cheeky grin.

Ethan vowed to himself that he would punish Elena once they reached City A.

A mischievous smile spread across his face as he imagined her begging while he laid her on the bed.

’Hmpp! No more begging this ti.’

Unaware of his thoughts, Elena stayed focused on the mission, determined to ignore any distractions.

"Here’s the plan: just call them and say you found a woman lurking around the inventory room while I stand not too far from the door so they can see . Once they’re inside, let handle it—I’ll stun them with my electric gun. You just need to observe, okay?"

"I’ll listen to you, wife," Ethan staring at her intently.

But deep inside, he planned to take them down before they could even touch his wife.

"Go, go, stop playing around," Elena urged.

Ethan imdiately shifted to a serious deanor as he walked towards the door, formulating a backup plan in case things didn’t go as expected.

Eliminating them would be the best option if they couldn’t find the ergency exit to stag the heist.

At least that way, no witnesses would reveal how the goods had vanished. They might find it suspicious, but he didn’t care—his wife’s safety was his top priority.

With that in mind, he prepared to shout to get the guards’ attention.
