45: American man with pert butt

Lin Zhi could only feel his forehead covered in black lines at his younger sister's teasing.

In the next second, Lin Zhi unceremoniously delivered a rap on Lin Xiaoxiao's forehead.

"You actually dare to tease even your own brother? I think your skin is itching for a beating!"

"Do you need me to loosen it up for you?"

"Ugh... it hurts!"

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately clutched her forehead and let out a cry of pain.

But her pitiful appearance didn't evoke the slightest bit of sympathy from Lin Zhi.

"Wuwu... Big Brother, you've changed."

"You're actually willing to hit me now!"

Lin Xiaoxiao said with a pouting mouth.

However, Lin Zhi raised an eyebrow.

"Still being cheeky?"

"Fine, fine, fine, I was wrong, okay?"

Seeing Lin Zhi's posture as if he was going to hit her again.

Lin Xiaoxiao, somewhat afraid, hurriedly took a few steps back and sat on the bed.

"But speaking of which, Big Brother, what's really going on with you?"

"It's only been a little over a month, how did you turn into Steve?"

"What Steve? Minecraft?"

"No, it's Captain America!"

“Steve Rogers, the one who went from a skinny monkey to America's Ass.”

Lin Xiaoxiao said, looking at Lin Zhi with a slight frown.

"You bumpkin, haven't you even seen a sci-fi blockbuster?"

"But then again, you didn't actually participate in some human experimentation to turn from a loser into a hunk, did you?"

"I hope there aren't any side effects; our Lin Family is still counting on you to carry on the family line!"

"...You really never learn your lesson." As Lin Zhi spoke, he made a gesture to flick Lin Xiaoxiao's cute little forehead.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly dodged, doing a lazy donkey roll to the other side of the large bed.

"I'm just worried about your body."

"And I'm really curious, Big Brother, what's with you? You're like a completely different person compared to before."

Hearing this, Lin Zhi finally stayed his hand.

Then, he slowly spoke.

"As for the military aspect, I've already explained that to you."

"As for the physique... I just worked out a bit and got it."

Hearing Lin Zhi's words, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Just worked out a bit? You're treating me like a three-year-old."

"But since you don't want to say, I won't ask."

At this point, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly changed the subject, her expression becoming serious.

"However, I still have something I want to discuss with you, Big Brother."

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's serious look, Lin Zhi realized something and pulled out a chair, sitting down with a grave expression.

"Um... Big Brother, do you have any news about Mom and Dad?"

Mentioning her parents, a very worried look appeared on Lin Xiaoxiao's face.

She believed that since her brother was in such a hurry to save her, he must have considered their parents as well.

But she didn't know what the arrangements were for them at the moment.

Coming to find Lin Zhi tonight.

Besides the fact that Lin Xiaoxiao really couldn't sleep whenever she thought of those terrifying zombies.

More importantly, she was hoping to get information about their parents from Lin Zhi.

However.

Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's question.

A look of difficulty appeared on Lin Zhi's face.

After a long while, he let out a sigh.

"Xiaoxiao, it's not that I'm not worried."

"It's just that right now, there's nothing I can do."

"With the strength of only two platoons, it's completely impossible to cross provinces and travel at least 800 kilometers to rescue them."

"There are simply too many uncertain danger factors involved."

"But don't worry, after I've accumulated a certain amount of military force."

"I will immediately find a way to inquire about Mom and Dad's whereabouts."

Hearing Lin Zhi say this, Lin Xiaoxiao also fell silent.

She wasn't an unreasonable woman.

She only acted a bit flighty when she was in front of Lin Zhi.

She also knew that trying to rescue their parents across hundreds or thousands of kilometers with her brother's current strength of two platoons was unrealistic.

"Okay, I understand, Big Brother."

"But I believe that Mom and Dad will definitely be fine."

"Yeah, me too..."

Then, after the two of them chatted for a while longer.

Time reached midnight.

Lin Xiaoxiao finally couldn't hold back her sleepiness and fell asleep on the bed.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeping form.

Lin Zhi didn't wake her up to go back to her own room to rest.

Instead, he covered her with a blanket and sat on the wooden chair beside her, staring at Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeping face for a good while.

Only then did he stand up and quietly leave the room.

After gaining the physique of a Top Special Forces King, all aspects of Lin Zhi's physical qualities had been greatly enhanced.

So even if he didn't sleep for a whole night, he wouldn't feel much mental fatigue.

That night, he stayed with the soldiers on duty until dawn... until the next day arrived.

Lin Xiaoxiao was woken up by a soft voice, her eyes still blurry with sleep.

When Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, she saw Lin Zhi's gentle face.

"Good morning, Big Brother~"

Lin Xiaoxiao yawned and said.

Lin Zhi just smiled as he looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's lazy kitten-like appearance.

Then he rubbed her little head.

"It's getting late. Go wake up Xi Xi, Lele, and the others."

"Then after having something to eat, we can probably set off."

"Ugh... I got it."

While Lin Xiaoxiao was responding and rubbing her eyes.

Lin Zhi had already left the room and begun preparing military affairs... 10:25 AM.

Reinforced Infantry Platoon, Tank Armor Platoon, zbl-08 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle Vehicle Crew.

A total of 57 people were all gathered on the small concrete square inside the farm.

Thanks to a night's rest, the fatigue on all the soldiers' faces had vanished. They were all spirited, energetic, standing with their backs straight, and a murderous aura soared into the sky!

Lin Zhi stood in front of all the soldiers.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxiao and the others had packed their things and were standing by the zbl-08 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle parked on the square, watching the scene with longing eyes.

Infantry Platoon Platoon Leader Chen Yuan, Tank Armor Platoon Platoon Leader Tan Shan, and zbl-08 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle Vehicle Commander Lin Hua stepped out from the front of the formation and saluted Lin Zhi to report.

"Reporting, Chief Comrade!"

"The Reinforced Infantry Platoon is assembled! 42 expected, 42 present! Please advise!"

"Reporting, Chief Comrade!"

"The Tank Armor Platoon is assembled! 12 expected, 12 present! Please advise!"

"Reporting, Chief Comrade!"

"The zbl-08 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle Vehicle Crew is assembled! 3 expected, 3 present! Please advise!"

Listening to these loud voices.

Lin Zhi checked the military watch on his wrist.

Then he spoke.

"Comrades, I am now issuing the mission."

"Based on last night's discussion with the platoon-level officers, we have unanimously decided to target Songshan Town, located over 80 kilometers away from our forces, to establish a survivor stronghold."

"The time is now 10:25 AM."

"We need to arrive at Songshan Town before 1:00 PM and complete the clearing and occupation of the town before nightfall at 6:00 PM."

"This operation is not only for our own safety but also to lay the foundation for the sustainable development of our forces after establishing the stronghold."

"Songshan Town may still be home to survivors; they are waiting for our rescue!"

"In this battle, we can only win, not lose!"

"Do you understand?!"

As Lin Zhi's voice fell.

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Understood!!"

Lin Zhi nodded at the response.

"Very well. Now, each squad will enter their designated vehicles in an orderly manner and check the integrity of equipment and weapons."

"We set off on time at 10:30!"
