175: Chapter 175 Gene Healing Agent!

In the afternoon, the ruins on the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

Lin Wanrou and Lin Ruoxue were searching for supplies in an abandoned supermarket.

Both mother and daughter were wearing black combat suits, moving agilely between the shelves.

"Mom, there are still a few boxes of canned food here!"

Lin Ruoxue shouted excitedly.

She was already a C-rank Esper now, and her strength was not weak.

Lin Wanrou walked over to check, a relieved smile appearing on her face:

"Not bad, this is enough for the Shelter to eat for several days."

Ever since joining Lin Yuan's Shelter, their lives as mother and daughter had undergone earth-shaking changes.

They no longer had to worry about being bullied, nor did they have to grovel for a bite to eat.

Although...

That man made her a little afraid.

But she had to admit, he gave her and her daughter the best protection.

"Mom, do you think Lin Yuan, he..."

Lin Ruoxue stopped mid-sentence.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

Lin Ruoxue shook her head.

She didn't dare tell her mother about her feelings for Lin Yuan.

From initial disgust and fear, to now...

Like.

Yes, she had fallen for Lin Yuan.

That man who was powerful and cold, yet would protect them at critical moments.

"Ruoxue."

Lin Wanrou suddenly said:

"We already owe Lin Yuan too much."

"So... whatever we can do ourselves, we shouldn't trouble him with."

Lin Ruoxue nodded:

"I know, that's why I want to become stronger."

"Strong enough to help him, instead of always being protected."

Lin Wanrou touched her daughter's head with satisfaction.

Her daughter had really grown up.

Just then—

Roar!!!

A terrifying beast roar suddenly rang out!

The entire building was shaking!

"Not good!"

Lin Wanrou's expression changed drastically:

"It's an Evolved Beast! Run!"

But it was already too late.

Boom!

The wall suddenly exploded!

A bizarre Evolved Beast rushed in!

It was a mutant centipede, a full ten meters long, each segment of its shell shimmering with a metallic luster, and its hundreds of sharp claws were like blades!

A-Rank Evolved Beast—Steel-Armored Centipede!

Lin Wanrou's heart pounded wildly.

It's over...

With their strength, they were no match for an A-Rank Evolved Beast at all!

"Mom! Run!"

Lin Ruoxue pushed her mother away, her hands manifesting ice spikes:

"I'll hold it back!"

"Ruoxue!"

"Run!"

Lin Ruoxue's eyes were firm.

She knew she was no match, but at least...

She could buy time for her mother to escape!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Dozens of ice spikes shot toward the Steel-Armored Centipede.

Clang, clang, clang!

The ice spikes hit the shell and shattered instantly!

"Hiss—"

The Steel-Armored Centipede let out a piercing hiss, its hundred legs moving in unison, rushing toward Lin Ruoxue like a torrent of steel!

"Ruoxue!"

Lin Wanrou wanted to go save her daughter, but from another direction—

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

A second A-Rank Evolved Beast appeared!

It was a transparent, jellyfish-like creature floating in the air, its tentacles shimmering with deadly electrical light—Thunder-Strike Jellyfish!

No, not just two...

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground cracked, and more Evolved Beasts swarmed out!

Blood-Winged Bats, Crystal Scorpions, Corrosive Slugs!

Five A-Rank Evolved Beasts surrounded them!

"How could this be..."

Lin Wanrou was in despair.

Five A-Rank Evolved Beasts...

This was a death trap!

"Mom!"

Boom!

Lin Ruoxue was sent flying by a wild boar and slammed heavily against the wall.

"Pfft—"

She spat out a large mouthful of blood, at least three of her ribs were broken, and the Steel-Armored Centipede's toxin was corroding her body.

"Ruoxue! Ruoxue!"

Lin Wanrou rushed toward her daughter like a madwoman.

But the Thunder-Strike Jellyfish blocked her path, dozens of tentacles lashing out like whips of lightning!

"No!"

Lin Wanrou closed her eyes in despair.

Her daughter was going to die...

She was going to die too...

I'm sorry, Lin Yuan...

We, mother and daughter, were too useless...

Just at this critical moment—

Rumble!!!

The sky suddenly turned dark!

Countless purple thunderbolts descended like divine punishment!

Before the Thunder-Strike Jellyfish could react, it was instantly vaporized by the very lightning it excelled at!

"What?!"

Lin Wanrou opened her eyes, looking at the scene before her in disbelief.

The Thunder-Strike Jellyfish... disappeared?

Step, step, step...

Steady footsteps rang out.

Each step landed on the rhythm of a heartbeat.

Lin Yuan walked out from the lightning, arcs of electricity dancing around his body, his eyes like pools of thunder.

His expression was calm, but every step he took made the entire space tremble!!

"Lin... Lin Yuan..."

Lin Wanrou's voice trembled.

He came...

He came to save them...

"Hiss—"

The remaining four Evolved Beasts lunged at Lin Yuan simultaneously!

The Steel-Armored Centipede's hundred legs moved in unison, the Blood-Winged Bat's sonic waves roared, the Crystal Scorpion's tail stinger pierced the air, and the Corrosive Slug sprayed acid!

Lin Yuan slowly raised his right hand.

Boom!!!

The entire space instantly turned into a purgatory of lightning!

Countless thunderbolts erupted from the void, like thousands of thunder dragons roaring!

The four A-Rank Evolved Beasts didn't even have time to scream before being annihilated in the lightning!

Instant kill!

A complete and total instant kill!

Lin Wanrou was completely stunned.

Five A-Rank Evolved Beasts...

In front of Lin Yuan, were they really this vulnerable?

Is this the strength of an SS-Rank Expert?

Lin Yuan flashed and appeared beside Lin Ruoxue.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxue was on the verge of death, blood staining the ground red.

"Hold on!"

Lin Yuan immediately took out an Advanced Healing Potion and fed it to her.

But the injuries were too severe...

The potion could only save her life, but it couldn't heal her immediately.

"Ruoxue... Ruoxue..."

Lin Wanrou knelt beside her daughter, tears falling like rain:

"I'm sorry... it's all Mom's uselessness..."

"If I were a little stronger..."

"My daughter wouldn't have..."

Watching the weeping Lin Wanrou, Lin Yuan's heart softened.

He thought of his own mother.

If back then...

If only his mother could have cried for him like this, how nice that would have been.

"Don't cry."

Lin Yuan's voice was uncharacteristically gentle:

"She won't die."

"But... but she's injured too badly..."

"Trust me."

Lin Yuan looked at Lin Wanrou earnestly:

"I won't let her die."

Lin Yuan sighed inwardly; he had only sensed it when he was at the villa earlier.

Although he appeared here in an instant.

It was still a step too slow.

It let Lin Ruoxue get injured!

It could only be said that Lin Yuan's strength had not yet reached the point of controlling everything within a thousand miles.

Or killing from a distance.

His strength still needed to improve!

Thinking this, he picked up Lin Ruoxue:

"Back to the Shelter."

Lin Wanrou hurriedly followed.

She watching Lin Yuan carefully holding her daughter, a warm current surged in her heart.

This man...

Doesn't seem that scary after all.

...

Shelter medical room.

Xia Muqing was doing her best to treat Lin Ruoxue.

As a top scientist, her medical skills were also first-class.

"How is it?"

Lin Yuan asked.

Xia Muqing shook her head:

"The injuries are too severe, internal organs are seriously damaged."

"Although her life is saved, to fully recover..."

"She'll need to lie in bed for at least three months."

Three months?

Lin Yuan frowned.

In the Apocalypse, if a person lies in bed for three months, it's too dangerous.

Just then.

【Ding! Detected intense emotional fluctuations from the goddess Lin Wanrou!】

【Lin Wanrou's gratitude toward the Host has greatly increased!】

【Affinity: Lv.1 → Lv.2!】

【Congratulations to the Host! Item upgrade: gene healing potion!】

【gene healing potion: Can instantly repair damage at the genetic level and heal all injuries!】

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Just in time!

He immediately took out a bright green potion from the system space.

"What is this?"

Xia Muqing asked curiously.

"gene healing potion."

Lin Yuan handed the potion to her:

"Use it on Ruoxue."

Xia Muqing took the potion, a flash of fanaticism in her eyes:

"Genetic-level healing? This kind of technology..."

"Save the person first."

"Yes!"

Xia Muqing immediately injected the potion into Lin Ruoxue.

A miraculous scene occurred.

The wounds on Lin Ruoxue's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Her pale complexion quickly became rosy!

In less than a minute, she opened her eyes.

"I... where am I..."

"Ruoxue!"

Lin Wanrou rushed over and hugged her daughter, weeping with joy:

"That's great! You're okay!"

"Mom..."

Lin Ruoxue also cried.

She thought she was a goner, but unexpectedly...

"It was Lin Yuan who saved you."

Lin Wanrou wiped her tears:

"He used a precious potion..."

Lin Ruoxue looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with gratitude and... admiration.

"Thank you, Lin Yuan."

"You're welcome."

Lin Yuan said indifferently:

"You are my people; it is only right that I protect you."

Lin Wanrou's heart trembled.

My people...

These three words gave her a strange feeling.

Peace, warmth, and... a hint of a flutter?

No, no, no!

She shook her head hurriedly.

But watching Lin Yuan's retreating figure, the flutter in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

This man...

Powerful, reliable, and so good to her and her daughter...

"Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Ruoxue's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"No... nothing."

Lin Wanrou blushed.

Lin Ruoxue looked at her mother suspiciously.

Mom's face... why is it so red?

Could it be...

A bold thought emerged in Lin Ruoxue's mind.

Could Mom have also fallen for Lin Yuan?

If that's really the case...

Lin Ruoxue bit her lip.

Forget it, if it's Mom...

Being together isn't impossible.

Anyway, there are so many women around Lin Yuan, two more—mother and daughter—won't make much of a difference.

Most importantly...

She wants to be with Lin Yuan forever.

If Mom is there too, that would be even better.

A family should be complete, right?

...

At night.

Lin Yuan stood on the balcony, watching the night view in the distance.

A lot of things happened today.

The Tang Family's threat, Chu Yanran's awakening, the crisis of Lin Wanrou and her daughter...

"Master."

Su Yuyan walked onto the balcony:

"There is news from the Tang Family."

"Speak."

"After Tang Zhentian went back, the head of the Tang Family was furious."

"They have already sent people to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

"It is estimated... the Heavenly Secret Pavilion will send people soon."

Lin Yuan sneered:

"Let them come."

"Just right, I also want to meet this SS-Rank Expert."

Su Yuyan looked at him with concern:

"Master, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is not an ordinary force."

"Their Heavenly Mystery Deduction art can predict the future."

"And Zhao Tianji's strength..."

"Don't worry."

Lin Yuan smiled confidently:

"In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are paper tigers."

"So what if he can predict the future?"

"I'll just change his future."

Su Yuyan stared at him blankly.

This man's confidence was simply fascinating.

Perhaps...

This is the reason she fell in love with him.
