147: Chapter 147 Starlink Terminals!!

As night fell, the Hanyue Shelter sank into a deep silence.

Lin Yuan stood before Su Waner's door, a playful smile playing on his lips.

He pushed the door open to find the room lit by dim, flickering candlelight.

Su Waner was wearing a white nightgown, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, looking exceptionally soft and delicate under the candle's glow.

At the sound of the door opening, her whole body trembled, and she slowly raised her head.

Those watery almond eyes were filled with tension and fear, much like a startled fawn.

"Master..."

Su Waner's voice was as soft and sweet as a marshmallow, laced with a hint of a tremor.

Lin Yuan closed the door and walked slowly toward her.

Every step seemed to tread on the strings of Su Waner's heart, making it beat faster and faster.

"Are you afraid?"

Lin Yuan sat down by the bed, looking at her with an indifferent gaze.

Su Waner bit her lower lip and nodded honestly.

Of course she was afraid.

Even though Lin Yuan wasn't the fat, greasy middle-aged man she had imagined,

the powerful aura he exuded

still made her feel oppressed.

Furthermore...

After tonight, she would lose her final shred of purity.

"Fear is one thing, but you should understand."

Lin Yuan reached out, gently tilting her chin up to force her to meet his eyes.

"In this Apocalypse, the weak have no right to choose. If you want to survive, you must pay the price."

Su Waner's eyes reddened slightly, but she knew Lin Yuan was speaking the truth.

The Apocalypse was too cruel.

She had seen too many women sell their bodies for a bite to eat, and too many survivors slaughtering each other just to stay alive.

By comparison...

At least Lin Yuan seemed decent enough; at least he hadn't mistreated her.

"I... I understand."

Su Waner took a deep breath, a flash of determination crossing her eyes.

"Master, I will be... obedient."

Lin Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

This woman might be weak, but she was smart.

Knowing when to yield was a rare form of survival wisdom in the Apocalypse.

"Very good."

He released her chin, his tone softening slightly.

"Relax, I won't hurt you. As long as you cooperate..."

Lin Yuan leaned in close to her ear, his voice deep and magnetic:

"You'll find that this isn't actually painful."

Su Waner's cheeks flushed bright red, her heart racing as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

In the next second, Lin Yuan pressed her directly onto the bed.

"Master..."

Su Waner let out a startled cry, instinctively wanting to struggle.

But Lin Yuan simply looked at her, his eyes filled with playfulness:

"What are you afraid of? I'm not going to eat you."

"However..."

A mischievous smirk curved his lips:

"If you satisfy me tonight, I will have a good reward for you."

Su Waner bit her lower lip, her face as red as a ripe apple.

"Yes... Master..."

She responded in a small voice, so soft it was almost inaudible.

Hearing that sweet, soft address, Lin Yuan felt a surge of satisfaction.

"Good girl."

...

During the process.

Su Waner went from initial fear to gradual acceptance, and finally to complete immersion...

Lin Yuan was very patient.

He wasn't rough; instead, he used gentle methods to slowly dismantle her psychological defenses.

Weak people were often more easily conquered by tenderness.

Because they craved protection so much.

This kind of serious teaching lasted the entire night.

"Your voice sounds so lovely."

Lin Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

An hour later.

Su Waner lay limp on the bed, her cheeks flushed, her forehead covered in a fine sweat, looking as if she had just been fished out of water.

Lin Yuan held her, looking contentedly at this frail beauty.

Though she was still very green,

that pitiable aura of hers only made one want to tease her more.

Leaning in Lin Yuan's arms, Su Waner's heart was a whirlpool of emotions.

She had lost her final purity.

But strangely...

She didn't feel as desperate as she had imagined.

Instead...

There was an indescribable sense of security.

"Master..."

Su Waner called out softly, her voice so sweet it would melt anyone's heart.

"Hmm?"

"Will... will you protect me?"

Lin Yuan looked at her watery eyes and smiled.

"Of course. As long as you are obedient, I won't let anyone hurt you."

A flash of emotion crossed Su Waner's eyes.

...

The next morning.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, spilling onto the bed.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Su Waner, who was still sound asleep in his arms.

She was sleeping deeply, a peaceful smile on her face—where was the fear from last night?

Just then—

*Ding!*

The familiar system notification rang out in Lin Yuan's mind.

[Detection: Goddess Su Waner successfully collected!]

[New Resource Unlocked: Starlink Terminal]

[Generation Speed: 1 unit per second]

[Description: Future-tech smart communication device. No charging required, permanent battery life. Built-in independent satellite signal network. Supports holographic projection, encrypted communication, remote control, and other functions.]

Lin Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted!

Starlink Terminal?!

This... this was future technology!

In the Apocalypse, communication was almost entirely cut off.

All networks and signals had collapsed.

Communication between survivors could only rely on the most primitive face-to-face interaction.

And now...

He had actually unlocked a resource that could establish an independent communication network?!

What did this mean?

It meant he could control the entire information network of the Apocalypse!

It meant he could command various forces in real-time!

It meant that on a strategic level, he would crush everyone else!

"Holy crap, this is a massive win!"

Lin Yuan was ecstatic, almost unable to stop himself from laughing out loud.

This frail beauty, Su Waner, had brought him such a massive surprise!

He calmed his excited heart and looked down at Su Waner in his arms.

He hadn't expected the unlocked resource to be this top-tier!

"Mmm..."

Su Waner woke up groggily, opening her eyes to see Lin Yuan looking at her.

Her cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "Master... morning..."

Her soft voice made Lin Yuan's heart flutter.

"Morning."

Lin Yuan smiled and stroked her head. "Did you sleep well?"

Su Waner nodded, a hint of bashfulness in her eyes.

She remembered everything from last night clearly.

Though... it was very shameful.

But she found that her fear of Lin Yuan had mostly vanished.

In its place was a strange sense of dependency.

"Master..."

Su Waner hesitated for a moment before asking softly:

"Did I... did I not do well?"

Lin Yuan was taken aback, then laughed:

"Why do you ask that?"

"Because... because you seemed like you were deep in thought..."

Su Waner bit her lip, her eyes full of anxiety.

"Did I do something wrong..."

Lin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This woman was just too weak, wasn't she?

Even at a time like this, she was still worrying about whether she had performed well?

"You did very well."

Lin Yuan said seriously, "I am very satisfied."

Su Waner's eyes lit up, and a brilliant smile blossomed on her face.

That heartfelt happiness made her look even more adorable.

Lin Yuan looked at her and nodded inwardly.

B-Class Crisis Insight activated automatically.

The color above Su Waner's head...

had changed from white to light blue!

Friendship achieved!

It seemed this weak woman had already begun to develop a dependency on him.

Very good.

This was exactly what he wanted.

"Get up."

Lin Yuan patted her cheek. "I'll take you to see something good."

...

Half an hour later.

The meeting room.

Chen Hanyue and Xia Bingli were already waiting.

When the two saw Lin Yuan bring Su Waner in, their expressions were somewhat complex.

Especially Xia Bingli.

She bit her lip, looking at Su Waner's bashful appearance, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Is everyone here? Good."

Lin Yuan sat in the main seat and waved his hand.

A silver-white device appeared on the table.

It was a square device about the size of a palm, entirely silver-white, with a faint light flowing over its surface, looking incredibly high-tech.

"This is..."

Chen Hanyue's gaze narrowed. "Future technology?"

"Exactly."

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile. "The Starlink Terminal. The only device in the Apocalypse capable of establishing an independent communication network."

As soon as he said this, Chen Hanyue and Xia Bingli's pupils both contracted simultaneously!

A communication network?!

In this Apocalypse where signals were cut off, a device that could establish a communication network...

This was simply a strategic-level treasure!

Lin Yuan tapped it lightly, and the Starlink Terminal activated instantly.

*Hum—!*

A holographic projection shot out from the device, forming a 3D interface in the air.

The sense of technology was overwhelming!

"Holy sh*t..."

Chen Hanyue couldn't help but swear.

She considered herself well-traveled, but this kind of future technology was a first for her!

Xia Bingli was even more shocked, unable to speak.

As a top-tier assassin, she knew all too well the strategic importance of a communication network!

If Lin Yuan controlled the communication network of the Apocalypse...

Then he effectively controlled the information lifeblood of the entire Apocalypse!

"This thing requires no charging and has permanent battery life."

Lin Yuan introduced it calmly.

"With built-in independent satellite signals, it can establish a private communication network. It supports voice, video, holographic projection, encrypted communication, and more."

"And..."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes:

"As long as you have a Starlink Terminal, you can communicate in real-time, ignoring distance constraints."

Chen Hanyue sucked in a cold breath.

This... this was just too heaven-defying!

"Master, how do you plan to use this equipment?"

Chen Hanyue asked seriously.

Lin Yuan looked at her, a smile curving his lips:

"Naturally, to establish a communication network and control the various factions."

"Han Yue."

He looked at her with sharp eyes:

"I'm entrusting the task of distributing the Starlink Terminals to you. Manage it by tiers; every core member of the Shelter is to be equipped with one. Can you do it?"

Hearing this, a flash of excitement crossed Chen Hanyue's eyes.

Master trusted her!

He was handing such an important task to her!

"Rest assured, Master!"

Chen Hanyue stood up, her gaze resolute:

"I will certainly not let you down!"

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

It seemed his strategy was correct.

Give them trust, give them resources, give them protection...

These proud women would eventually submit of their own free will.

"Very good."

Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a large number of Starlink Terminals appeared on the conference table.

There were at least a hundred of them!

"These should be enough for you for a while."

Lin Yuan said indifferently, "Report to me once the communication network is established."

"Yes!"

Chen Hanyue's eyes were full of admiration.

This man...

He was simply too powerful!

Too full of surprises!

He could take out so many strategic resources at will...

and such magical things at that.

Although she didn't know their origin,

Chen Hanyue, and the other women present, knew very well.

Don't ask what shouldn't be asked...

As long as they followed him,

they truly could see a different future!

Lin Yuan looked at the light in Chen Hanyue's eyes and was secretly satisfied.

B-Class Crisis Insight showed...

The color above Chen Hanyue's head was shifting from blue to green.

"Alright, go get to work."

Lin Yuan waved them off.

Chen Hanyue immediately left with the Starlink Terminals.
