226: Chapter 226 You want soup? Wang Ya brought out the whole river.

Captain Han Xue gripped the steering wheel, her earlobes still flushed.

The convoy slowed down in front of the abandoned toll station.

She glanced at the backseat through the rearview mirror, her voice dropping very low.

"The seat cushion in the back... I will take it to be washed."

Lin Yuan leaned back against the seat, his expression calm.

Wang Ya was leaning in his arms, her collar still slightly disheveled.

On the edges of her grayish-white irises, there was now a ring of pale gold water patterns.

The condensation on the car window did not slide down.

Droplets of water hung on the glass, as if waiting for her command.

Lin Motong was lying against the window of another escort vehicle.

"Mom looks like she's become a queen."

Qin Yumo sat in the passenger seat, hugging her twin blades, saying nothing.

She could feel it.

Wang Ya had changed.

It wasn't that she was just a little stronger.

It was as if her entire being had connected to something vast.

The convoy continued forward as they passed the cross-river bridge.

Wang Ya closed her eyes.

"Mr. Lin."

Her voice was very soft.

"The entire river is speaking in my ear."

Captain Han Xue's hands on the steering wheel paused for a moment.

That sounded truly absurd.

Just at that moment.

Several modified speedboats rushed out from behind an abandoned pier in the distance.

The water surface exploded.

Three RPGs trailing exhaust flames tore through the air.

Boom!

The first escort vehicle flipped onto its side.

Lu Yan reacted extremely quickly, raising an earthen wall from the road that forcibly blocked the aftermath of the explosion.

The second rocket grazed the escort vehicle Lin Motong was in.

The windows shattered.

But as the broken glass flew inside, it was as if it hit an invisible wall, hovered for a moment, and then fell at her feet.

In the distance, someone cursed.

"Are you blind?! Don't blow up that little girl!"

"The boss said she can be traded for a lot of money!"

Captain Han Xue slammed on the brakes.

"Enemy attack!"

The escort convoy scattered instantly.

Soldiers got out, raised their guns, and sought cover.

Gunfire erupted simultaneously from bridge arches, sewage outlets, and behind abandoned barges.

Several more rockets struck just outside the convoy.

The flames had barely risen before being suppressed by the piled snow.

A man's hoarse voice came over a loudspeaker.

"Lin Yuan!"

"You've swallowed Shanghai, you have to at least share some soup with your brothers in the surrounding areas, right?"

"Don't play dead!"

"Jiang-Zhe-Hu Region doesn't belong to you alone!"

Captain Han Xue commanded with a cold face.

"First Squad, suppress the bridge arch on the left."

"Second Squad, target the boats."

"Third Squad, protect the main vehicle."

The enemy wasn't fighting head-on.

The speedboats wove through the waterways, firing a shot and then changing positions.

They were very skilled.

Qin Yumo pushed the door open and stepped out.

"Master, I'll go."

Lin Yuan raised his hand.

Qin Yumo stopped.

The voice in the loudspeaker continued to yell.

"We don't want much!"

"Take out half of the spoils from Shanghai!"

"Otherwise, we'll make sure everything around you is in chaos!"

"No matter how strong you, Lin Yuan, are, you can't silence everyone!"

Captain Han Xue's eyes turned cold.

She was just about to order a counterattack.

But Lin Yuan looked at Wang Ya.

Wang Ya lowered her head and smoothed out the collar that had been disheveled earlier.

Then she got out of the car.

The tips of her shoes landed in the standing water.

Plop.

The entire surface of the water stopped.

Gunfire was still ringing out.

Speedboats were still rushing forward.

But all the water near Wang Ya's feet seemed to have its throat held.

Wang Ya looked up and glanced at the escort vehicle where Lin Motong was.

The girl had already climbed onto the roof of the car, clenching both fists in a gesture of encouragement.

Lin Yuan only said two words.

"Try it."

Wang Ya took a step forward.

The attackers were still laughing.

"Yo, sending a woman out?"

"Hiding behind a woman, what kind of hero is that?"

"Beauty, come with us, we guarantee it'll be better than being with Lin Yuan..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Three speedboats flew backward simultaneously.

As if struck by an invisible giant hand, they slammed into and overturned several boats behind them on the spot.

The flames had just flared up before being extinguished by the river water.

Captain Han Xue was stunned for a moment.

Qin Yumo also turned her head.

Wang Ya had her eyes closed.

The flush on her face had not yet faded.

It appeared seductive yet carried a hint of dominance.

"Seven people at the sewage outlet on the left."

"Twelve in the bottom cabin of the abandoned boat."

"Two rocket launchers above the bridge arch."

Captain Han Xue reacted extremely quickly.

"Mark the targets!"

The soldiers opened fire immediately.

The ambush points were battered, sending gravel flying.

The attackers finally panicked.

The man's voice in the loudspeaker changed.

"Lin Yuan! Don't push us!"

"We still have people! We have several other camps!"

"If you dare to touch us, the survivors around Wan City won't submit to you!"

In the distance, a signal flare rose into the air.

The red light illuminated the snowy night.

Wang Ya opened her eyes.

On the edges of her grayish-white irises, that ring of pale gold water patterns rotated once.

Lin Motong sat on the car roof and whispered, "Mom, you've got this."

Wang Ya did not turn back.

"Mom knows."

She raised her right hand.

The surface of the river stopped.

Everyone saw it.

The wind was still blowing.

The snow was still falling.

But that river had stopped.

Immediately after.

All the attackers hiding near the water surface, bridge arches, and drainage outlets were simultaneously entangled by strands of water.

Necks.

Wrists.

Ankles.

Chests.

The leading man had just climbed out of the speedboat and opened his mouth to shout.

The water strand directly sealed his throat.

He knelt at the bow of the boat, his eyeballs bulging.

Wang Ya slightly closed her five fingers.

Splash!

The entire ambush network was dragged out by the river water.

Dozens of attackers flew in from various corners and were dumped neatly onto the bank.

Not a single one missing.

The convoy went quiet.

In the monitoring room of the Nanjiang Water Plant, Scarface Liu, who had heard the commotion and intended to provide support, dropped his cigarette while watching the screen.

"Is this f*cking still a Water Superpower?"

The guard next to him swallowed hard.

"This is a water god, right..."

On the bank.

Wang Ya walked up to the leader.

The man's throat was blocked by the water strand, and he could only make muffled sounds.

Wang Ya looked at him.

"You want soup?"

She raised her hand.

A mass of muddy water was compressed into a water sphere and suspended in front of the man.

Inside were gunpowder residue, dirty blood, and engine oil.

"Is this mouthful enough?"

The man's eyes were filled with fear.

The water strand loosened slightly.

Just as he was about to beg for mercy, the water sphere was forced into his mouth.

Gulp.

Gulp.

He knelt on the ground, choking and convulsing all over.

Wang Ya did not look at him again.

The water flow swept across the river surface, stripping away the last drop of filthy blood.

The river surface calmed down again.

Like a table that had just been wiped clean.

Lin Motong jumped down from the car roof and ran over to hug Wang Ya's waist.

She tilted her head back and said earnestly, "Mom is so cool."

The oppressive aura on Wang Ya paused.

She lowered her head and stroked her daughter's hair.

"Were you scared?"

Lin Motong shook her head.

"No."

She hugged her tighter.

"Just a tiny bit worse than me."

The black-gold water light in Wang Ya's eyes faded, leaving only softness.

"Mm."

Lin Yuan got out of the car and swept a glance over the row of people on the bank.

"Captain Han Xue."

"Here."

"Interrogate."

Captain Han Xue walked over with her gun raised.

"Who informed you of Mr. Lin's return route?"

The leader lay on the ground, spitting out muddy water, and spoke while trembling.

"The broadcast... the broadcast said... Lin Yuan is taking over Jiang-Zhe-Hu Region..."

"We thought..."

Bang!

Captain Han Xue fired a shot, piercing the ground right next to him.

"Get to the point."

The man immediately broke down.

"Someone gave us the route!"

"They said you brought a lot of supplies from Shanghai!"

"They said your convoy had few people!"

"They said as long as we made a big scene, Lin Yuan would give us benefits to stabilize Wan City!"

Captain Han Xue looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's expression didn't change.

This bullying-from-within tactic worked on the Capital.

It didn't work on him.

Liu Qing's voice cut into the communication.

"Master, their communication records have been intercepted."

"Three other camps backed out at the last minute and didn't make a move."

"There is also an encrypted source from the Wan City Radio Tower."

Lin Yuan said indifferently, "They didn't want to steal the spoils."

"They were testing my bottom line for someone else."

"Deal with it when we get back."

The convoy started up again.

This time, the way all the soldiers looked at Wang Ya had changed.

Two hours later.

The main gate of the Cloud Top Palace opened.

Su Xiaonuan led a team waiting under the lights.

She saw the pale gold water patterns on the edges of Wang Ya's irises at a glance.

"Teacher Xia, Dr. Su."

"Give Sister Wang Ya a full check-up."

Su Muxue had already walked over, holding a diagnostic device in her hand.

Liu Qing's voice suddenly sounded.

"Master, there is an abnormality in the B3 Sealed Chamber."

The feed cut in.

Chiba Sakura was bound next to the electric chair, her face deathly pale.

Separated by layers of steel doors, she could still feel that trace of Amaterasu's aura.

Chiba Sakura's lips trembled.

"The Divine Light... has been eaten..."

"How is that possible..."
