101: Chapter 101 A Crazy Woman

Early morning.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes; beside him, Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue were still fast asleep.

Lin Yuan rose quietly, making sure not to wake them.

After getting dressed, he walked out of the room.

Upon reaching the living room, he saw Wang Yaqin preparing breakfast.

"Lin Yuan, you're awake?"

Wang Yaqin smiled tenderly, her manner considerate. "I've made some porridge and side dishes; give them a try."

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Wang Yaqin's change during this period of time was indeed significant.

From initial gratitude to her current gentle thoughtfulness...

"Thank you, Auntie."

Lin Yuan sat down and picked up a bowl.

Wang Yaqin watched him eat from the side, an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

This young man possessed a special charm that drew her in involuntarily.

Just then, Ye Qingyue walked out while rubbing her eyes.

"Brother Lin Yuan~ Good morning~"

When she saw her mother looking at Lin Yuan so tenderly, her little face darkened slightly.

That look...

Something was not quite right!

Jealousy surged within Ye Qingyue.

But she didn't throw a tantrum; instead, she walked over quickly, nudged her mother aside, and tightly hugged Lin Yuan's arm.

"Brother Lin Yuan, why didn't you wake me up?"

She said coquettishly.

Her small hands rubbed against Lin Yuan's arm, her eyes clearly declaring her sovereignty.

Seeing her daughter like this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Wang Yaqin's face.

Ye Qingxue also walked out.

She glanced at her mother, deep in thought.

Ye Qingxue simply sat silently on Lin Yuan's other side, also taking hold of his arm.

With one sister on each side, they completely monopolized Lin Yuan.

Wang Yaqin stood to the side, her gaze complicated.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Yuan rested for a moment.

He saw Chen Hanyue rushing over, her expression solemn.

"Mr. Lin!"

She bowed respectfully, her eyes revealing a mix of emotions—fear, awe, and a hint of curiosity.

"I just received an emergency communication from the exploration team."

Chen Hanyue took a deep breath.

"The exploration team I sent out previously discovered an anomaly at an Abandoned Research Institute thirty kilometers away from the Shelter."

"An A-Rank Evolved Beast has appeared there!"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

An A-Rank Evolved Beast?

Just right, he was currently lacking an A-rank evolution core.

"Besides the A-Rank Evolved Beast, there are also massive high-energy fluctuations over there."

Chen Hanyue continued.

"The exploration team suspects there are important supplies or research facilities there, but they are completely unable to deal with an A-Rank Evolved Beast and have already retreated."

At this point, Chen Hanyue looked at Lin Yuan with a complicated expression.

She bit her lip and summoned her courage to say:

"Mr. Lin... this is beyond my capabilities. If you are willing to step in and solve this, I... I am willing to serve you a few times as payment."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qingyue immediately exploded!

"What?! Serve?!"

She glared at Chen Hanyue, a yandere killing intent flashing in her eyes.

Ye Qingxue also frowned slightly, looking coldly at Chen Hanyue.

Wang Yaqin was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Chen Hanyue to be so blunt.

Lin Yuan, however, remained very calm.

Whether it was the A-Rank Evolved Beast or Chen Hanyue's condition, he wanted both.

After all, increasing Chen Hanyue's affinity was also part of the cosplay!

"Fine, I accept."

Lin Yuan said indifferently.

Chen Hanyue breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of shyness appearing on her face.

Ye Qingyue's little face puffed up in anger as she clung tightly to Lin Yuan's arm.

"Brother Lin Yuan! How could you agree to her!"

Lin Yuan rubbed her head.

"I happen to need an A-rank evolution core, and there might be good things over there."

Only then did Ye Qingyue reluctantly accept it, but her gaze toward Chen Hanyue remained full of hostility.

Half an hour later.

Lin Yuan, Ye Qingxue, Ye Qingyue, and Wang Yaqin drove toward the Abandoned Research Institute.

Chen Hanyue had wanted to come along, but she was directly rejected by Ye Qingyue.

"You just stay at the Shelter and wait!"

Ye Qingyue said overbearingly.

Chen Hanyue could only stay behind helplessly.

The vehicle traveled along the desolate highway.

On both sides were abandoned buildings and withered plants.

The desolation of the Apocalypse was fully visible.

After driving for about twenty kilometers.

A dozen figures suddenly appeared ahead.

The road was blocked!

Lin Yuan stopped the car, his expression calm.

A dozen raiders emerged from the ruins, holding various weapons.

Leading them was a burly man with a sturdy build and a fierce gaze.

He was a C-rank Esper.

When the burly man saw the people in the car, his eyes instantly lit up.

Three stunning beauties!

And a top-tier mature housewife!

Did he freaking hit the jackpot?!

But in the next second, he noticed a detail.

These people were dressed cleanly and their expressions were composed; they completely lacked the wretchedness of Apocalypse survivors.

Especially that man...

He emitted an unsettling aura.

The burly man was wary in his heart: "People who can still dress so cleanly in the Apocalypse are not simple..."

He suppressed the greed in his heart and spoke tentatively:

"Which Shelter are you from? This area isn't peaceful; there are many Mutated Beasts around."

His tone was polite, completely lacking the ferocity of a raider.

Clearly, he was testing the other party's background and strength.

If the other party was truly strong, he would just let them pass.

If they were just ordinary survivors...

Then that would be another story.

Lin Yuan hadn't even spoken yet.

A D-rank Ability User under the burly man was blinded by lust; looking at the sisters and Wang Yaqin, his drool was almost flowing.

He didn't notice his boss's wariness at all and said with a lecherous grin:

"Boss, those three women are top-tier! Why don't we..."

Before he could finish!

Ye Qingyue's eyes instantly turned cold!

C-rank Mind Control, erupt!

The gravel on the surrounding ground, the rebar in the ruins, and the weapons in the raiders' hands were all controlled by an invisible force!

The next second!

Dozens of objects shot toward the raiders like a rainstorm!

"What?!"

The burly man's eyes widened in terror.

But there was no time to react!

Puchi puchi puchi—!

Rebar pierced chests, gravel shattered skulls, and weapons stabbed back at their owners!

Three seconds!

All dozen raiders collapsed to the ground!

The knife in the C-rank burly man's hand had turned around and pierced his own throat; his eyes were wide with horror.

"Mind Control... how can it be this strong..."

Blood gushed out.

With unwillingness and fear, he slowly fell over.

Lin Yuan didn't make a move, merely observing indifferently.

He was satisfied with Qingyue's yandere protectiveness, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Brother Lin Yuan, I'm amazing, right~"

Ye Qingyue proudly sought praise.

"Yes, very amazing."

Lin Yuan rubbed her head.

Ye Qingxue said aloofly from the side, "Let's go, don't waste time."

Wang Yaqin looked at the corpses littering the ground, her gaze complicated.

This was the Apocalypse...

Survival of the fittest.

The vehicle continued forward.

After driving another ten kilometers, they finally arrived at the Abandoned Research Institute.

Before they even got close, they heard a deafening roar!

"Roar—!"

On the outskirts of the research institute, a massive A-Rank Evolved Beast was frantically destroying buildings!

It was a Mutated Honey Badger!

Commonly known as the "Flat-headed Brother"!

Its body had expanded to over five meters tall, covered in silver-white fur with the signature white stripe on its back.

But at this moment, that stripe was glowing with an eerie blood-red light!

The most terrifying thing was its eyes.

Unruly, ferocious, and violent, as if it feared nothing in heaven or earth!

Its aura was extremely terrifying, and the surrounding air was distorting!

Besides this A-rank Flat-headed Brother, there were dozens of B-Rank Evolved Beasts around—a Mutated Wolf pack!

But the wolf pack was clearly wary of the honey badger and didn't dare to approach.

They wandered through the ruins, seemingly attracted by something.

Lin Yuan activated Crisis Insight and scanned the entire area with his Spiritual Power.

Sure enough!

There was a powerful energy source underground!

And the vital signs of a female!

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes; he also sensed a dozen modified, deformed creatures.

They were currently fighting against the Evolved Beasts underground.

Ye Qingxue frowned. "What kind of place is this? To actually attract an A-Rank Evolved Beast..."

Lin Yuan said indifferently, "There are people underground, and... they are conducting some kind of experiment."

Ye Qingyue said excitedly, "Brother Lin Yuan, are we going to kill our way in?"

"Yes."

Lin Yuan nodded.

He stepped out of the car and looked at that A-rank Mutated Honey Badger.

"A Flat-headed Brother... even before the Apocalypse, they treated life and death lightly and would fight anyone who crossed them. Now that it's evolved to A-rank, it's probably even crazier."

Ye Qingxue wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Lin Yuan.

"Let me do it."

Lin Yuan slowly raised his right hand.

The next second!

The rebar of the surrounding buildings, the giant stones of the ruins, and metal fragments were all controlled by an invisible force!

Hundreds of objects slowly levitated into the air!

"Holy crap?!"

Wang Yaqin couldn't help but swear.

This scene was just too sci-fi!

Hundreds of objects circled in the air, then smashed toward the A-rank honey badger like a rainstorm!

"Roar—!"

The honey badger roared, frantically swinging its sharp claws, not backing down at all!

Even though its body was pierced by rebar, it still charged at Lin Yuan with a death-defying fearlessness!

This was the spirit of the Flat-headed Brother: treat life and death lightly, and fight if you're not satisfied!

Bang bang bang—!

Giant stones smashed its skull, rebar pierced its limbs, and metal fragments sliced its body!

But no matter how crazy a Flat-headed Brother was, it was useless in the face of absolute strength!

Under the crushing pressure of A-rank Mind Control, the honey badger's body was completely locked down!

Finally!

A massive piece of rebar descended from the sky, directly piercing the honey badger's heart!

"Roar—!"

The Flat-headed Brother let out a final, unwilling roar and crashed to the ground!

Even in death, that unruly look remained in its eyes.

In my next life, I'll still be a Flat-headed Brother!

Five seconds!

An A-Rank Evolved Beast, insta-killed!

The Ye Sisters and Wang Yaqin watched this scene in shock.

Although they knew Lin Yuan was strong.

They were still shaken every time they saw him take action.

This was his true strength!

"Let's go, get inside."

Lin Yuan said indifferently.

They entered the research institute and followed the passage into the basement.

At this time, the defense of the underground laboratory had already been breached by the B-rank wolf pack.

A dozen Mutated Wolves were frantically pouring into the deepest part.

Inside the laboratory.

A woman with disheveled hair and a tattered white lab coat stood before an experimental bench.

She held a reagent bottle, her eyes crazed.

"Don't touch my research!"

She smashed the reagent bottle toward the wolf pack!

Boom—!

The explosion produced toxic gas, instantly killing five wolves!

But even more wolves pounced!

The woman closed her eyes in despair.

"Just a little more... just a little more and I would have succeeded..."

Just then!

Lin Yuan made his move!

A-rank Mind Control erupted once again!

The equipment, reagent racks, and metal tables and chairs in the laboratory all floated up!

Within three seconds!

All the objects swept across like blades, slaughtering the entire Mutated Wolf pack into pieces!

The woman opened her eyes.

Seeing the wolf corpses littering the floor and the floating objects, she looked up in shock.

And then...

She saw Lin Yuan.

In that instant, the woman froze.

"Who... who are you?"

Then she saw Lin Yuan's face clearly, and her eyes suddenly became feverish.

"Perfect genes... perfect physique... this is the ultimate form of evolution!"

Lin Yuan looked at this crazy woman, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Interesting.
