165: Chapter 165 You don't need to win it. Remember, I'm behind you.
The second Red Moon receded.
The mountain breeze of Cloud Top Palace still carried the stench of charred corpses.
Lin Motong stood on the second-floor balcony, holding the violent bear, gazing in the direction of Zhe City.
Suddenly.
Snap.
The stitching on the chest of the violent bear burst open.
Cotton fell all over the floor.
Wang Ya's expression changed. "Tongtong?"
Lin Motong did not answer.
Her pupils were terrifyingly red, her body frozen in place, as if held by an invisible hand pressing on her throat.
The next second.
A hoarse Mental Energy wave slammed into her mind.
"Wild King-class."
"Those who cross the line shall die."
Lin Motong's small face turned pale, but her lips were pressed tightly together.
She did not cry out in pain.
She just hugged the violent bear tighter.
Water currents suddenly exploded around Wang Ya.
"Mr. Lin!"
Lin Yuan, having sensed it in the living room, had already walked to the balcony.
He held Lin Motong's cold little hand.
Mental Energy exceeding one hundred was instantly exerted.
Silent.
Yet like a knife, it slashed directly into that mental lock.
Far away in the direction of Zhe City, that oppression suddenly faltered.
Lin Yuan's gaze was very calm.
"Get lost."
The Mental Energy wave was severed.
The red light on the balcony dissipated.
Lin Motong's legs went soft.
Lin Yuan pulled her into his arms.
On the floor, the violent bear's cotton was scattered by the wind.
Lin Motong looked down at the bear, her voice very small.
"It is very strong."
Lin Yuan patted her back.
"You don't need to win against it."
Lin Motong looked up.
Lin Yuan looked toward the direction of Zhe City.
"Remember, I am behind you."
[Ding! Target Lin Motong, Favorability +3%, Current Favorability: 29%!]
Wang Ya stood to the side, the water currents slowly falling.
She did not say thank you.
She only bent down, picked up the violent bear, and stuffed the cotton back in, bit by bit.
Tang Qiqi lay at the doorway, whispering: "Brother Bear is taking the damage for the Little Queen this time."
In the medical room.
Jiang Xiong woke up.
His chest was wrapped in bandages, his complexion as poor as if he had just crawled out of a coffin.
Su Muxue retracted the healing green light and adjusted her glasses.
"Don't move around, the ribs haven't healed properly yet."
When Jiang Xiong saw Lin Yuan, his first words were: "Where is Xiaowan?"
Jiang Xiaowan stood at the door, wiping away the uncontrollable tears on her face.
"Dad, I'm here."
Jiang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yuan pulled over a chair and sat down: "I am going to Zhe City, tell me the intelligence on Zhe City."
Jiang Xiong closed his eyes.
"The Zhe City Safe Zone is not of one mind right now."
"On the surface, Commander Wei Guangjun is the commander-in-chief. He has men, broadcasts, and legitimacy in his hands."
"Zhou Heng, the faction we met by the river, is the Resistance. They do not recognize the agreement between Commander Wei Guangjun and the Zombie King."
"There is also a neutral faction guarding the granary, led by Feng Sanhai. He doesn't help anyone, only guards the grain."
Lin Yuan asked: "Who signed the agreement?"
Jiang Xiong was silent for a few seconds.
"Commander Wei Guangjun."
He coughed once, and blood foam bubbled from the corners of his mouth.
Su Muxue immediately pressed down on him.
Jiang Xiong waved his hand.
"It wasn't the Zombie King who asked for the children."
"It was Commander Wei Guangjun who took the initiative to send them."
The room fell silent.
Jiang Xiong continued: "During the first Red Moon, he was afraid the Safe Zone would be breached by the Zombie King."
"So he had people feed the children sleeping pills and sent them to the border."
"Unexpectedly, the Zombie King actually accepted them."
"After that, the Euthanasia List became the agreement."
Su Muxue couldn't listen anymore and bit down hard on her back molars.
"Human traitor."
Jiang Xiong smiled, a very bitter smile.
Lin Yuan looked at the torn bear in Lin Motong's arms.
"It reached out its hand first."
"Then I will chop off its hand."
"We leave tomorrow morning."
Su Xiaonuan immediately looked up. "Boss Lin, I will have them make preparations immediately, Lu Yan, Qin Yumo..."
"No."
Lin Yuan interrupted her.
He looked at Wang Ya and Lin Motong.
"I'm only taking these two."
Wang Ya was stunned.
She, a housewife, what could she do facing a Safe Zone of one hundred thousand people?
Cook for them?
Lin Motong held the broken violent bear and looked up at him.
Lin Yuan said: "A family of three, fleeing as refugees into the city."
He looked at Su Xiaonuan.
"I am leaving this time, Tiangong No. 1 is your full responsibility."
"If you lack key supplies, you can transfer them directly from the space."
Su Xiaonuan had light dark circles under her eyes.
These past two days, the remnants from the South Suburbs, refugees, the female prisoner camp, and the Jiang University personnel were all piling up on her spreadsheets.
She didn't complain of fatigue.
But there were already over thirty temporary sub-districts on her tablet.
Jiang Xiaowan suddenly walked to her side.
"Housekeeper Su."
Su Xiaonuan looked at her.
Jiang Xiaowan lowered her hands and her voice as well.
"You are the leader."
"I want to help you as an assistant."
"When I managed family businesses before, I was involved in this area as well."
Su Xiaonuan was taken aback.
Jiang Xiaowan looked away.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm doing this for the stability of the child's rations."
Tang Qiqi whispered: "The Crown Prince's mother is so sensible on her first day on the job that it's scary."
Su Muxue looked at Jiang Xiaowan.
"During the first three months of pregnancy, don't stay up late."
Jiang Xiaowan nodded immediately.
"Received, Dr. Su."
Su Xiaonuan lowered her head and added new permissions for Jiang Xiaowan on the tablet.
[Temporary Steward Assistant]
She paused for half a second, then added two more words.
[Available]
In the afternoon.
Su Muxue pushed the medicine into Wang Ya's arm.
The Ice-type Superpower sealed the death energy along with the effects of the medicine.
This newly researched concoction had already been tested on the Zombie Girl squad several times.
At first, it was just a wild idea from Tang Qiqi, but she didn't expect it to actually be used.
The gray-white edges of Wang Ya's pupils were covered by colored contact lenses, and her skin also regained warmth.
She raised her hand to touch her face.
"Like a human."
Lin Motong sat on a chair, her toes swinging back and forth.
Su Muxue put brown colored contact lenses on her.
"Don't blink."
Lin Motong stared at her.
"Your hands are very cold."
Su Muxue was expressionless.
"You are also very cold right now."
Lin Motong thought for a moment.
"Uncle Lin is hot."
Su Muxue's hand paused.
Tang Qiqi was biting on a lollipop on the side and finally couldn't hold back.
"At Boss Lin's age, isn't it a bit too young to be a sudden dad?"
She swept a glance at Wang Ya and Lin Motong.
"Looks like a down-and-out rich second generation running away with a young stepmother."
The next second.
Red light flashed in the depths of Lin Motong's eyes.
Mothers were her red line.
Tang Qiqi's left foot tripped over her right foot.
Snap.
She fell flat on the ground.
The lollipop flew out.
Qin Yumo stepped forward, shielding Tang Qiqi.
She looked at Lin Motong.
"What are you doing!"
Wang Ya also frowned and stepped forward, water currents winding around her fingers.
"Tongtong is just a child."
Qin Yumo said coldly: "Even children must follow the rules."
The water currents stopped.
The twin blades remained sheathed.
Both of them restrained themselves.
After all, they were not enemies.
They were the people who had been good sisters in the master bedroom just a few days ago.
Lin Yuan walked over, grabbing Tang Qiqi by the back of her collar with one hand, and pressing down on Lin Motong's head with the other.
"You all have quite the ambition."
Tang Qiqi immediately played dead.
Lin Motong looked down at the broken bear.
Lin Yuan looked at everyone.
"The first house rule of Tiangong No. 1."
"No using Superpowers against your own people."
"Whoever breaks the rule, get out."
Lin Motong looked up, the red light in her eyes fading.
"I was wrong."
Tang Qiqi raised her hand.
"I have a foul mouth, I was wrong too."
Lin Yuan pointed toward the playground.
"Hold hands."
"The two of you sing 'Little Swallow'."
"Sing it ten times."
Tang Qiqi was dumbfounded.
"Can we change it to something else? This is too socially embarrassing."
Lin Yuan frowned.
Tang Qiqi immediately grabbed Lin Motong's hand.
"Let's go, Little Queen, we are debuting today."
Lin Yuan pointed at Qin Yumo and Wang Ya again.
"And you two, you've grown capable, haven't you?"
"Tonight in the master bedroom, you two will perform for me, how to have a fight."
Half an hour later.
On the playground.
Tang Qiqi was covered in mud, Lin Motong was holding the broken bear.
The two held hands, their voices rising and falling.
"Little swallow, wearing a flower coat..."
The survivors in the outer circle were all holding back laughter.
Captain Han Xue stood by to maintain discipline.
"Laughter is fine."
"Do not secretly record video."
Jiang Xiaowan took Su Xiaonuan's hand and lowered her voice.
"Leader, do you think they are performing a bitter trick on purpose?"
"Why don't we perform one too?"
Su Xiaonuan thought seriously for a second.
Su Muxue suddenly appeared behind her.
"You cannot have intercourse during the first three months of pregnancy."
