159: Chapter 159 Jiang Da talks about passion, Tiangong-1 talks about meal tickets.

Lin Yuan lifted his eyes, looked at Fang Xiaoxiao, and handed the slip of paper back to her.

"Jiang University is not my territory."

Fang Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Lin Yuan continued, "Chu Feng is not my dog either."

"I saved him as an investment."

"Not an obligation."

The Fatty's face flushed red instantly, his fists clenching and unclenching.

"But Brother Bai was fighting with his life on the line for Jiang City!"

He wanted to say that Brother Bai had saved many people.

He wanted to say that Jiang University was also resisting the Japanese invaders.

He wanted to say that Lin Yuan was so strong, why couldn't he have come sooner?

Lin Yuan glanced at him.

"So you owe him a tombstone, not me."

Fang Xiaoxiao's face turned pale.

She took back the slip of paper, the edges of the transparent bag crinkling under her grip.

It wasn't that she didn't understand this logic.

It was just that Bai Jingchen was gone.

Chu Feng didn't speak.

Everyone at Jiang University needed an outlet for their emotions.

Lin Yuan had become that outlet.

When they came out of Jiang University, there were still many students crying and demanding an explanation from Lin Yuan.

But Lin Yuan was neither the authorities nor a savior; by what right should he have to do that?

Xu Qiangwei suddenly lowered her head.

"Mr. Lin is right."

Fang Xiaoxiao turned to look at her.

The Fatty was also stunned.

Xu Qiangwei straightened her back; her voice was low but didn't tremble.

"Over in the East Suburbs, that is the main force of the Ninja Guild."

"If Lu Yan had gone to Jiang University early, it would have exposed our intentions."

"We might not have been able to take the East Suburbs."

"The whole of Jiang City would have been in more trouble later."

She paused, her throat feeling as if it were blocked by something.

Finally, she still said those words.

"For the sake of Jiang University, it wasn't worth it."

Fang Xiaoxiao looked at her, as if meeting this person for the first time.

You have to know, after Bai Jingchen died, Xu Qiangwei could almost be considered the number two figure at Jiang University.

But now, she stood in front of Lin Yuan and spoke the most unseemly, yet most truthful, words.

Harsh.

But the apocalypse was never responsible for sounding pleasant.

Xu Qiangwei did not look at Fang Xiaoxiao.

She was looking at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

"Have you figured it out?"

Xu Qiangwei raised her hand and retied her slightly messy hair.

This action seemed to be to encourage herself.

"Before at Jiang University, I always felt that as long as Chu Feng was determined enough and Bai Jingchen was smart enough, we could hold on."

"Now I know."

"Holding on and surviving for a long time are two different things."

Su Xiaonuan was recording on the side, her fingers pausing for a moment.

This Xu Qiangwei was more capable of handling things than she had estimated.

Lin Yuan asked, "If Chu Feng chooses to turn against me in the future because of Bai Jingchen's matter."

"Which side will you stand on?"

Xu Qiangwei's face turned pale, and the movement of her hand, which had been pretending to be relaxed, also stalled.

Three seconds.

She lowered her head.

"I stand on the side of survival."

Fang Xiaoxiao's lips moved.

"Sister Qiangwei..."

Xu Qiangwei did not turn back.

"Chu Feng is a good person."

"Bai Jingchen is too."

"But I don't want to die."

She looked up again and looked at Lin Yuan.

"I will not be buried with a school."

The Fatty became anxious.

"What do you mean by that?"

The Thin Monkey pulled him back and whispered, "She is telling the truth."

The Fatty glared at him.

The Thin Monkey didn't dodge.

"Brother Bai is gone."

"Brother Chu is unstable right now."

"Do you think Jiang University can hold out a few more times just by shouting slogans?"

The Fatty opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end.

Only the sound of breathing remained in the living room.

Lin Yuan glanced at Xu Qiangwei and tapped his fingertip on the armrest.

"The crystal core debt remains the same."

"I will give you an extra month for the payment term."

[Ding! Target Xu Qiangwei (Beauty 90), favorability +2%, current favorability: 2%.]

Xu Qiangwei's eyelashes trembled.

She didn't know about the system prompt.

But she knew she had passed the first hurdle.

"I will pass this on to Chu Feng."

Afterward, she raised her head again, with something different in her eyes.

"What you said before, about letting me stay here, does it still count?"

Lin Yuan said, "All four of you can come back after you finish your business."

"Follow Captain Han Xue."

At the door, Captain Han Xue was dressed in a black tactical suit, the rabbit tail behind her waist swaying.

She scanned the four people.

"Five kilometers in the morning."

"Combat training in the afternoon."

"Patrol at night."

"If you fail the assessment, your rations will be deducted."

The Fatty almost knelt on the spot.

"We just finished fighting a war, can we be a bit more humane?"

Captain Han Xue looked at him, "No one begged you to come."

The Fatty: "..."

Tang Qiqi poked her head in from the door.

Hanging on her chest was a gray training badge, her face full of schadenfreude.

"Welcome to the Human Restart Training Camp."

The Fatty looked at her.

"You train too?"

Tang Qiqi puffed out her chest.

The gray badge swayed.

"I am an old employee."

Qin Yumo said coldly, "She ran two laps less today."

Tang Qiqi immediately shrank her neck.

"Sister Yumo, I was wrong."

The Fatty suddenly felt balanced in his heart.

So even a princess has to train.

Tiangong No. 1, this place, is somewhat lacking in human sentiment.

But precisely because it lacks human sentiment, it feels like a place where one can survive.

Xu Qiangwei, Fang Xiaoxiao, the Fatty, and the Thin Monkey were taken to the outer circle.

After they return to Jiang University to finish the handover, they will officially move in.

Now, they will first look at their temporary accommodation.

The iron gate opened.

Fang Xiaoxiao stood at the door, her footsteps pausing for a moment.

The outer circle was not as chaotic as she had imagined.

Some people were training.

Some people were moving supplies.

Some people were handing crystal cores to the registration desk in exchange for rations and medicine.

There was also a queue over at the female prisoner camp.

Long Qiuyan was leaning against the wall, her arm wrapped in bandages, scolding two lazy female prisoners.

Captain Han Xue's law enforcement team walked through the middle of the road.

No one dared to block them.

A newly arrived soldier from the South Suburbs wanted to cut in line.

Xiao Li just glanced at him.

The man immediately stepped back.

Fang Xiaoxiao whispered, "This place doesn't look like a shelter."

The Thin Monkey added, "It looks like a factory."

The Fatty rubbed his shoulders, "It looks like a prison."

Xu Qiangwei looked at the main building of Tiangong No. 1 in the distance.

"It looks like order."

Fang Xiaoxiao didn't refute this.

Jiang University has passion.

It has Chu Feng.

It has the lingering influence left by Mr. Ghost.

But Jiang University does not have this kind of thing.

Everyone knows where they should stand.

What they should do.

What the consequences are if they make a mistake.

Fang Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered what Lin Yuan said when he infiltrated Jiang University.

Jiang University won't last long.

At that time, she found it harsh.

Now she understood a little.

Fang Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Qiangwei.

"Do you think it's possible to have the entire Jiang University merge into Lin Yuan's system?"

Xu Qiangwei paused.

Fang Xiaoxiao's voice was even lower.

"Maybe we would live better."

The Fatty opened his mouth but didn't scold her.

The Thin Monkey looked at the training ground in the distance.

There, Tang Qiqi was lying in the mud, being lifted up by Qin Yumo with a cold face to continue running the two laps she owed.

The Thin Monkey sighed.

"Brother Chu won't agree."

Xu Qiangwei looked at Tiangong No. 1.

"He wouldn't have before."

"It's not certain now."

Bai Jingchen is gone.

Chu Feng's sun cannot burn forever.

Inside the B3 Sealed Chamber.

Chiba Sakura was fixed to the electric shock restraint rack.

Half of her face was wrapped in bandages, and her lips were chapped.

Her wrists, ankles, and neck were all secured with alloy buckles.

The temperature in the chamber was twelve degrees.

In the surveillance, her fingers twitched.

Then she opened her eyes.

Those eyes were blank for half a second.

Then she stared at the camera.

Liu Qing immediately connected to the main channel.

"Master."

"Chiba Sakura has woken up."
