197: Chapter 197 Special Enforcement Order Expired, Su Xiaonuan Takes Over the Negotiation Table

On the plaza, no one dared to move.

Snow fell on Officer Wei Zheng's epaulets and quickly melted into water.

The entire Capital Special Forces unit behind him gripped their guns.

But not a single muzzle was steady.

Some stared at the automatic machine gun turret on the wall.

Some secretly glanced at the circle of frost that had not dissipated yet.

Others swallowed hard, not even daring to make a sound while gulping.

The "Lin Yuan" before them stood there.

Just watching them.

That power was like a burst dam, mixing cold air and Mental Energy, pouring into everyone's mind.

The thin, tall man knelt in the snow, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He had just tried to use Mental Energy to suppress Su Xiaonuan.

Now, even lifting his head was a struggle.

Officer Wei Zheng's back was soaked.

The words he had prepared to intimidate them were swallowed back down.

In this state, they could not be pushed.

If pushed too far, Lin Yuan would definitely dare to bury them and the three helicopters on the mountain.

Officer Wei Zheng immediately raised his voice.

"Shanghai is in trouble."

On the plaza, some survivors looked up.

Su Xiaonuan stood behind the Mirror Doppelganger, her fingers tightening under her white gloves.

Officer Wei Zheng continued: "The Japanese Side has more than one cruise ship."

"The latest satellite images confirm that three landing ships have approached the waters off Shanghai."

"Fully loaded with troops, heavy weapons, and experimental pods."

"This is not a small-scale infiltration."

"It is a nation-wide relocation style invasion."

Officer Wei Zheng held up the tablet in his hand.

The screen was pointed at Lin Yuan.

In the footage, the port of Shanghai was a sea of fire.

Three black landing ships pressed onto the sea surface, like three iron coffins.

The cabin doors opened.

Rows of people in hazmat suits dragged silver-white experimental pods ashore.

Behind the port, the line of fire burned all the way into the city.

"The Shanghai defense line is collapsing."

"Many squads have already bypassed our deployed defense lines and scattered toward surrounding cities."

"The National Emergency Response Team hopes to cooperate with Mr. Lin to jointly block the Japanese Side's roaming troops."

He articulated every word clearly.

His posture was also much lower than before.

But that "hopes to cooperate" still sounded like an order wrapped in new packaging.

Fat Dragon stood on the wall and cursed in a low voice.

"They want people to be cannon fodder again, yet they still want people to kneel and receive the decree."

Captain Han Xue glanced at him.

She did not refute him.

She was familiar with this vibe.

Just then.

The cold air on the Mirror Doppelganger Lin Yuan suddenly shook.

White mist rose from under his feet.

His outline began to fade.

Gasps echoed across the plaza.

"Is Mr. Lin leaving?"

"What kind of Superpower is this?"

"Teleportation?"

The next second.

The Mirror Doppelganger turned into ice water and shattered into the snow.

Leaving only a thin circle of frost.

Officer Wei Zheng's pupils constricted.

The two Capital team members behind him exchanged quick glances.

As expected.

Lin Yuan's power is extremely strong.

But unstable.

The oppression just now only lasted for about ten minutes.

Officer Wei Zheng had a judgment in his heart, but immediately put on a look of concern.

"Ms. Su."

"What happened to Mr. Lin?"

"If his Superpower becomes unstable, the National Emergency Response Team can contact the Capital Research Institute."

"We have the best mental stabilization equipment and intervention plans specifically for high-level Awakened Ones."

Su Xiaonuan looked up at him.

In her earpiece, Lin Yuan's voice sounded.

"You have full authority over what happens next."

Tiangong No. 1 study.

Lin Yuan sat in the chair, his face somewhat pale.

The SS-rank [Mirror Doppelganger] is very strong.

Strong enough to deceive the Capital.

But the Mental Energy consumption is also high.

Su Muxue stood nearby, staring at the residual ice water on the ground, not at all surprised by the two's little secret.

In fact.

Su Xiaonuan knew too.

Lin Yuan had told her himself.

But he had also given an instruction at the time.

"Don't let your aunt know that you know."

Su Xiaonuan didn't quite understand what this was about.

Later, Liu Qing whispered a summary.

The master's little quirks, don't ask.

On the plaza.

Su Xiaonuan took a step forward.

Her small figure stood in the center of the plaza.

"Officer Wei Zheng has also seen it."

"Mr. Lin is in a very bad state."

"You landed and provoked us, attacked the negotiation representative, and almost made him lose control."

Her voice wasn't loud.

But everyone heard it clearly.

"I will be fully responsible for the subsequent negotiations."

"Please watch your language."

Officer Wei Zheng's eyelids twitched.

This woman was seizing the opportunity to strike back.

She turned Lin Yuan's "loss of control" into a reason why they had to be cautious.

Su Xiaonuan opened the recording board.

"Before we cooperate, let's settle old scores first."

The screen lit up.

Ston School.

Liu Bin's head.

Zhao Gang's corpse.

And the video of Zhou Lan's confession while kneeling on the ground.

"Capital... people from the National Emergency Response Team."

"They sent incomplete awakening serum to Zhao Gang."

"They also provided guns, food, and communicators."

"Tiemen Fort is the third node..."

Officer Wei Zheng's face darkened.

Several team members behind him subconsciously avoided looking at the screen.

Xia Qingqiu sat in the living room of Tiangong No. 1 watching the big screen, her fingertips turning white.

Su Xiaonuan closed the recording board.

"Ston School is an outer outpost of Cloud Top Palace."

"Liu Bin was a sentinel we had registered."

"Zhao Gang killed people, seized the point, and abused survivors."

"Behind him, he carried the name of your Capital."

Officer Wei Zheng was silent for two seconds.

He quickly resumed his bureaucratic tone.

"Ms. Su, the wartime environment is complex."

"If there are deviations in grassroots execution, we will go back and investigate."

"If it is true, the relevant personnel will definitely be dealt with strictly."

"But now that the nation is in peril, personal grievances should be temporarily set aside."

"We cannot let the mistakes of individual personnel affect the overall cooperation."

As soon as this was said, many survivors frowned.

It sounded fine.

But it was disgusting.

The person who died was Liu Bin.

The one whose head was displayed was Liu Bin.

The ones who were abused were Ston students.

In his mouth, it became "the mistake of individual personnel."

Su Xiaonuan looked up.

"First, this is not a personal grievance; it is a mad dog you fostered that bit Cloud Top Palace."

"Second, Liu Bin is not an individual personnel; he has a name."

"Third, the 'overall situation' is not you making mistakes and us paying the price."

Officer Wei Zheng's face was ugly.

"Ms. Su, mind your wording."

"The National Emergency Response Team represents—"

"It does not represent Mr. Lin."

Su Xiaonuan interrupted directly.

She raised her hand, pointing at the thin, tall man.

"And him."

"He attacked me just now."

"I am the General Manager of Logistics and Internal Affairs for Tiangong No. 1."

"Attacking me is equivalent to declaring war on Mr. Lin."

The thin, tall man looked up and gritted his teeth: "I only made mental contact; I didn't cause any substantial harm."

Su Xiaonuan looked at him.

"Then if I let Qin Yumo slash you now, only half, not killing you, does that count as no substantial harm?"

Qin Yumo drew her blade half an inch.

The thin, tall man immediately shut up.

Officer Wei Zheng took a breath.

"How does Ms. Su want to resolve this?"

Su Xiaonuan turned to the next page.

"Compensation."

Officer Wei Zheng nodded.

"Within a reasonable range, we can talk."

Su Xiaonuan spoke.

"One hundred doses of awakening serum."

Tang Qiqi was listening to the live broadcast in the energy cabin and almost pressed the current controls wrong.

"One hundred doses? This is Godzilla-sized greed."

"The Zombie Girl assault squad can become an assault company now!"

Officer Wei Zheng's face changed completely.

"Impossible."

"The Capital doesn't have that much in stock."

Su Xiaonuan said calmly: "That is your problem."

Officer Wei Zheng suppressed his anger.

"Ms. Su, you don't understand the difficulty of producing awakening serum."

"It involves the highest-level research resources."

"Twenty doses."

Su Xiaonuan closed the recording board.

"Show them out."

Captain Han Xue immediately raised her hand.

The machine gun turret on the wall turned.

Officer Wei Zheng's eye twitched.

"Ms. Su!"

"Negotiations aren't conducted like this."

Su Xiaonuan looked at him.

"You should have checked on me before you came."

"I was just a secretary before."

"If the boss says no negotiation, I close the door."

As these words fell.

Many old survivors in the outer circle lowered their heads.

They wanted to laugh, but didn't dare.

The thin, tall man beside Officer Wei Zheng finally couldn't help it.

He clutched his shoulder, his voice urgent.

"One hundred doses is simply impossible!"

"The 'Pharmacist' system has a limited daily output."

"His Mental Energy can only produce four or five at most per day!"

As the words fell.

The wind stopped.

Officer Wei Zheng turned his head abruptly.

The thin, tall man's face instantly turned pale.

He had let it slip.

System.

These two words, like two nails, drove into the ears of everyone on the plaza.

A flash of light appeared in Su Xiaonuan's eyes.

She didn't look at Officer Wei Zheng.

But stared at the thin, tall man.

"System?"

She took a step forward.

"Tell me about it."

Officer Wei Zheng said coldly: "Ms. Su, this is top secret."

Su Xiaonuan raised her hand.

Qin Yumo's blade was fully drawn.

Su Muxue's fingertips froze.

Officer Wei Zheng's Adam's apple bobbed.

Su Xiaonuan's voice was very soft.

"Officer Wei Zheng."

"You can choose not to say it."

"You can also choose not to compensate."

She looked at that Mental-type Esper.

"Then leave him behind."

"As a down payment for one dose."
