204: Chapter 204 Judy the Rabbit Knocks on the Door Late at Night

Level B1.

Captain Han Xue lay on the bed, eyes wide open.

The room was very small.

A bed, a desk, and a mirror.

Her black tactical uniform hung on the wall.

Along with that rabbit tail.

She used to think of it as humiliation.

Now, she stared at it for a long time.

On the night of the third Red Moon, Cloud Top Palace had zero casualties.

But that wasn't because her patrol schedule was well-written.

It was because Lu Yan could alter the terrain.

It was because Su Muxue could freeze the Zombie Horde.

It was because Qin Yumo could carve a bloody path through the Zombie Horde.

It was because Tang Qiqi could erect a shield.

It was because with a single word from Mo Tong, the Zombie Girl could precisely harvest crystal cores.

And what about her?

She carried her gun, leading the outer perimeter patrol.

Looking very imposing.

But she understood the look in the eyes of those new troublemakers.

Ordinary person.

Even for Captain Han, she was just an ordinary person.

Even when Little Li, who possessed a C-rank Superpower, went out on patrol, the survivors looked at him differently.

That was awe.

Not the obedience brought by discipline.

Captain Han Xue rolled over and sat up.

She picked up the communicator and pressed Tang Qiqi's channel.

Soon, a hushed voice came from the other side.

"Judy Rabbit？"

Captain Han Xue was silent for two seconds.

"Where is Lin Yuan tonight？"

"In the master bedroom."

Tang Qiqi's voice suddenly perked up.

"Originally, it was Sister Yumo's turn tonight. But she said, the opportunity can be yours."

Qin Yumo's voice cut in.

"Remember to pay it back later."

Very short.

Very cold.

She also hated Qin Yumo.

Captain Han Xue whispered: "I will remember."

Tang Qiqi laughed.

"I'll lend you my room so you don't get caught in the lobby. Anyway, I have to work overtime tonight; the airdrop is arriving soon."

"Sister Yumo is also in B3 keeping me company, so you won't feel awkward."

The communication cut off.

Captain Han Xue sat on the edge of the bed for a few seconds before standing up.

She walked out of B1.

The second-floor corridor was quiet.

The door to Tang Qiqi and Qin Yumo's room was unlocked.

It was very messy inside.

On one side were Tang Qiqi's fabrics, wigs, and semi-finished combat uniforms.

On the other side were Qin Yumo's knife rack, protective gear, and training bandages.

Two kinds of lives were forcefully crammed into one room.

Captain Han Xue stood in front of the mirror.

She first unbuckled her holster.

She placed the pistol on the table.

Then she took off her tactical jacket.

Her belt.

Tactical vest.

Boots.

The woman in the mirror no longer looked like a police officer.

And even less like the Captain Han Xue from the old world who believed that laws could protect people.

She picked up the rabbit tail.

Her fingertips lingered for a long time.

Just then, a voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Captain Han, someone is causing trouble in C-zone of the outer perimeter."

Captain Han Xue closed her eyes.

When she opened them again, her voice was steady.

"Let Zhou Heng handle it."

She paused for a moment.

"Handle it according to the rules."

After saying that, she turned off the walkie-talkie.

The room became quiet again.

Captain Han Xue recalled the ordinary survivors trembling behind the defensive line on the night of the Red Moon.

She thought of the various Espers slaughtering their way through the Zombie Horde.

She remembered someone looking at her and whispering, "Captain Han, why aren't you an Esper？"

She pursed her lips and placed the last piece of covering on the back of the chair.

Then, in the clumsiest and most shameful way, she fastened the rabbit tail.

Her whole body stiffened.

The person in the mirror lowered her head, her ears flushed red.

Captain Han Xue reached out to hold the edge of the table, her breathing skipping a beat.

A few seconds later, she looked up.

The old world was dead.

She had known that for a long time.

It was just that tonight, she had buried it with her own hands.

The door opened.

The hallway light fell on her.

Captain Han Xue's knee hit the doorframe, causing some pain.

But she did not pull back the foot she had stepped out with.

Even though the entire second floor had floor heating, Captain Han Xue still felt very cold.

She was afraid of meeting someone.

And even more afraid of meeting no one.

Because that meant she really had to walk to that door.

The master bedroom door was ajar.

There was a light inside.

Captain Han Xue stood outside the door and raised her hand.

Her fingers hovered for a long time.

Finally, she pushed it open gently.

The door opened.

Her mind went blank for a moment.

Lin Yuan was sitting on the sofa.

Su Muxue stood in front of him, her white coat buttoned to the very top, holding a report in her hand.

Several energy curve charts were spread out on the table.

There was a faint chill in the air.

Frost gathered on Su Muxue's fingertips as she spoke calmly.

"Before the Mirror Doppelganger dissipated, the cold energy leakage was significant."

"If the Extreme Cold Domain is used as a stability anchor, the duration can be extended by three to five minutes."

"But your mental burden will increase."

Lin Yuan looked up.

Su Muxue also turned around.

Three people.

Six eyes.

The room went quiet.

Captain Han Xue stood at the doorway, forgetting even to breathe.

She had imagined Lin Yuan would sneer.

She had imagined he would issue an order.

She had even imagined he would kick her out.

But she had never imagined that Su Muxue would be inside.

Su Muxue's gaze fell from Captain Han Xue's face and stopped on the rabbit tail.

She was stunned for a moment.

Then, her eyes turned cold.

All the blood rushed to Captain Han Xue's face.

She clutched her chest and wanted to turn around.

Wanted to run.

Wanted to drag Tang Qiqi out of B3 and have her executed for ten minutes.

Just as she took a half-step back, Lin Yuan spoke.

"Come in."

His voice was very flat.

Captain Han Xue stopped.

Lin Yuan looked at her.

"Close the door."

Captain Han Xue's hand was pressed against the door panel.

It was freezing cold.

She bit her lip, walked into the room, and closed the door behind her.

Click.

Su Muxue closed the report.

She glanced at Lin Yuan.

"The data recording is finished."

Lin Yuan didn't respond.

Su Muxue understood.

She picked up the tablet and walked out.

When she passed by Captain Han Xue, she paused for half a second.

Her voice was very low.

Only Captain Han Xue could hear it.

"You're really bold."

Three words.

Clean.

Sharp.

Captain Han Xue's hand hanging by her side clenched and then relaxed.

She really wanted to reply.

Do you go into the master bedroom less often?

But she didn't say it.

Because tonight, she wasn't here to argue.

The door closed again.

Only two people were left in the room.

Lin Yuan stood up.

He walked toward Captain Han Xue step by step.

His gaze had no warmth.

And no pity.

It was like looking at an application form submitted voluntarily.

Captain Han Xue's breathing became ragged.

She wanted to straighten her back.

But the more she straightened, the more pathetic she looked.

Lin Yuan didn't touch her.

He just reached out and pinched the rabbit tail.

With a light tug.

Captain Han Xue's legs went weak, and she almost fell.

The next second, Lin Yuan wrapped his arm around her waist.

She collided into his chest.

A familiar cold, hard scent pressed down on her.

Captain Han Xue closed her eyes.

She thought she would cry.

She didn't.

She just heard her own voice, very soft.

"I don't want to be just an ordinary person anymore."

Lin Yuan looked down at her.

"So you delivered yourself here？"

Captain Han Xue opened her eyes.

"I want power."

"I want those people to not dare to laugh at me in their hearts when they hear me talk about the rules."

She paused.

Her voice was hoarse.

"I also want to protect people."

Lin Yuan laughed.

"Old habit."

Captain Han Xue did not refute it.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and gripped the back of her neck.

"But smarter than before."

He picked her up horizontally and walked toward the big bed.

Captain Han Xue's body stiffened, her fingers subconsciously grabbing his collar.

Lin Yuan looked down, his voice carrying a hint of mockery.

"Since Officer Han has delivered herself with such sincerity."

"There is no reason not to eat."

Captain Han Xue closed her eyes.

She knew that from this moment on, she could no longer measure herself with the ruler of the old world.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to take away what she had cherished for twenty-eight years.

Beep—!

The emergency communicator in the room suddenly blared.

The red light flashed frantically.

Liu Qing's voice came over the broadcast, carrying a rare urgency.

"Master！"

"There are ninjas moving at high speed towards the scheduled airdrop point！"
