Chapter 96 Wanwan, as long as you don't run away, you can take my life as you please.

"How about here?"

Lin Xingwan's fingertips lightly tapped against Huo Yuan's thin lips, the smile in her eyes carrying a hint of dangerous provocation.

Huo Yuan's breathing hitched instantly.

He looked at the face right before his eyes, naturally bewitching, and the last string in his mind named "reason" snapped completely.

"Wanwan..."

His Adam's apple bobbed as he hoarsely spat out those two words.

The wolf-like eyes that had just regained clarity were once again filled with the frenzy of paranoia and possessiveness.

He abruptly lowered his head, giving her no chance to react, and kissed her directly.

This kiss was completely different from the one just now, which had been full of slaughter and biting.

Frenzied, domineering, yet carrying a trace of cautious probing.

Like a ferocious beast that had finally found the destination to which it could completely surrender.

He greedily snatched every inch of air between her lips and teeth, wishing he could knead her into his own flesh and blood.

Outside the door.

Lu Ting and a few mercenary underlings looked through the one-way glass at the explosive scene inside that rivaled an idol drama, their jaws dropping to the floor.

"Damn... The Boss's style changed way too fast, didn't it?"

"One second he was heartlessly trying to kill someone, and the next second he's actually kissing them?"

"Sister-in-law is amazing! To be able to turn this around!"

Inside the Central Control Room.

Outside, the gale was still howling, slamming against the thick bulletproof glass.

Inside, the atmosphere heated up rapidly because of this kiss.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Huo Yuan's tall body tightly circled Lin Xingwan in his arms.

He buried his face deep into the crook of her neck, like a giant dog extremely lacking in security.

"Wanwan, don't be afraid of me..."

Huo Yuan's voice was extremely hoarse, carrying a thick nasal tone and a trace of imperceptible fragility.

"And don't... leave me behind."

This man who had fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, at this moment, revealed his softest underbelly to her.

Lin Xingwan's heart felt as if it had been heavily struck by something, sour and swollen.

She raised her hand and gently patted his broad back.

"Huo Yuan, listen well."

Lin Xingwan turned her head, her warm lips brushing past his earlobe.

"In this life, I, Lin Xingwan, only have the option to die in battle, never to run away."

"Whether it's a natural disaster or you, this mad dog, it's all the same."

These words were more effective than any consolation.

Huo Yuan's trembling body gradually calmed down.

He greedily breathed in the scent on her body, a mix of spiritual spring water and the smell of blood, as if wanting to carve her into his soul.

"As long as you don't run..."

Huo Yuan raised his head, those deep black eyes locking onto her tightly.

"You can take my life whenever you want."

This vow, carrying the rust-like taste of blood, was deeply branded onto Lin Xingwan's heart.

The relationship between the two, at this moment, completely transcended the test of life and death.

Becoming an absolute two-way pursuit.

"Alright, enough with the mushy talk."

Lin Xingwan pushed against his hard chest and pointed to her shoulder that was still oozing blood.

"Hurry up and apply medicine for me, it hurts like hell."

"My fault."

Huo Yuan, as if just waking from a dream, hurriedly let her go.

He looked at the tooth mark on her shoulder that was so deep it reached the bone, his eyes full of heartache and regret.

"I'll go get the medicine kit!"

He turned and was about to run to the infirmary.

"No need." Lin Xingwan grabbed him.

She walked to the console and casually pulled open a drawer.

Taking out a roll of clean bandages and a bottle of disinfectant spray.

"The special medicine that Old Man Zhong concocted is more effective than your military-grade stuff."

With her back to Huo Yuan, she used one hand to pull down the shoulder strap of her tactical vest, revealing that expanse of snow-white skin and the shocking wound.

"What are you stunned for? Apply the medicine."

Huo Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed.

He stepped forward, his hand, holding the cotton swab, actually trembling slightly.

When the cold medicine touched the wound, Lin Xingwan hissed in pain.

Huo Yuan's movements became even gentler.

"I'm sorry." He said in a low voice, his voice full of guilt.

"If apologies were useful, what would we need guns for?"

Lin Xingwan, looking at his cautious appearance in the mirror's reflection, couldn't help but chuckle.

This man, just a moment ago, was like a wolf ready to eat people.

But right now, he was as docile as a tiger that had its teeth pulled.

"Huo Yuan." She suddenly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

"How often does your condition flare up?"

Huo Yuan's hand paused, his eyes darkening.

"Not sure. Maybe once every few years, maybe... tomorrow."

This was his biggest weakness, and also the secret he dared not let her know.

"Oh."

Lin Xingwan nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

She turned around, and in front of him, slowly and deliberately pulled her shoulder strap back into place.

Then, she suddenly reached out and lifted Huo Yuan's chin.

In those beautiful fox-like eyes, a dangerously seductive light flickered.

"In the future, if it flares up again, remember to tell me in advance."

Her red lips curled slightly, her tone ambiguous.

"Don't you like biting people? Next time, bite somewhere else."

She paused, her gaze slowly moving down, landing on his tightly pressed thin lips.

"For example... here, how about it?"

Huo Yuan's brain went "boom" and completely exploded.

He was just about to make a move.

"Woo—! Woo—!"

A siren, sharper and more piercing than before, instantly shattered the ambiguous atmosphere.

Huo Yuan instinctively shielded Lin Xingwan behind him, his eyes instantly turning cold.

"What's going on? Was the outer wall breached?"

"No! No!"

Qian Duoduo's terrified scream suddenly exploded in their ears through the internal intercom.

The voice cracked like a drake's.

"Boss! Sister-in-law! Look at the radar quickly!"

"The hurricane... the hurricane seems to have blown some incredible big thing to our nearshore!"

Lin Xingwan and Huo Yuan exchanged a glance and immediately walked quickly back to the Central Control Room.

On the big screen.

On the nearshore radar scan map that should have been showing pitch black.

A huge, extremely conspicuous red outline had appeared!

The volume of that outline was even larger than an aircraft carrier!

"Holy shit! What the hell is this?!"

Lu Ting scrambled at the screen, his eyeballs almost popping out.

"Could it be a mutated prehistoric giant whale?"

"It's not a living creature!"

Qian Duoduo's fingers typed on the keyboard with afterimages, pulling up the sonar detection model.

"Its material is high-strength alloy steel! This is a... man-made structure!"

Lin Xingwan stared at the slowly forming 3D model on the screen.

Towering derricks, intricate steel pipes, and the huge pontoon structure at the bottom...

Her pupils shrank sharply, and her breathing paused for half a second.

This wasn't a ship, nor was it some monster!

"Huo Yuan, take out our base's strongest wind-resistant helicopter."

Lin Xingwan stood up abruptly, an unprecedented fanatical light erupting in her eyes.

"Heaven has opened its eyes and sent us a big gift!"

Huo Yuan looked at the structure on the screen that should have been standing in a deep-sea oil field hundreds of kilometers away.

Now it had been uprooted by the super hurricane and blown to their doorstep—a giant offshore oil drilling platform.

The corners of his mouth also curled into an arc of determination.

"Qian Duoduo, calculate the precise time for the typhoon eye to pass through for me!"

Huo Yuan grabbed the tactical helmet on the table, his eyes as sharp as knives.

"Lu Ting, take your men and follow me to the helipad!"

He turned to look at Lin Xingwan, both of them having identical madness in their eyes.

"Wife, are you ready?"

Huo Yuan licked his molars, smiling extremely arrogantly.

"Today, we're going to the center of this storm and playing a big game!"
