194: Chapter 194 Only a fool would refuse!

Main Castle, Council Hall.

Lin Yuan sat at the head of the table, looking at the goddesses before him.

"The Shelter is built, now it's time to expand."

He stated bluntly:

"Thirty thousand women aren't enough."

"I want all the female survivors in Jiangcheng to join us."

"Lin Yuan, you want to recruit more people?"

Su Yuyan's eyes lit up.

"That's right."

Lin Yuan nodded:

"The Apocalypse has been going on for so long, and there are still a large number of female survivors struggling to hold on in various places across Jiangcheng."

"Instead of letting them fend for themselves, it's better to bring them under our command."

"It expands our influence and saves them at the same time."

"Killing two birds with one stone."

The women nodded.

Lin Yuan made sense.

Moreover, now that the Shelter had expanded to a ten-kilometer radius, it could fully accommodate more people.

"However..."

Lin Yuan's voice turned cold:

"Remember, we only accept women."

"No men, under any circumstances."

At these words, the goddesses were slightly stunned.

But they quickly understood Lin Yuan's meaning.

In this Shelter, Lin Yuan was the only man.

This was an iron rule.

"Understood."

Su Yuyan nodded:

"Then, should we actively advertise?"

"No need."

Lin Yuan shook his head:

"Our Shelter is the best recruitment tool."

"As long as people see it, it will naturally attract attention."

"When the time comes, those who should come will come, and those who should die... will also come."

A flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.

...

Sure enough, just as Lin Yuan had expected.

Once the Shelter expanded to a ten-kilometer radius, the twenty-meter-high alien city walls emitted a faint glow at night.

It could be seen for dozens of kilometers around.

The entire surviving force in Jiangcheng was shocked.

...

Jiangcheng East District, a dilapidated refuge.

Dozens of female survivors were crowded into a narrow space.

They were tattered and gaunt.

Clearly, they hadn't eaten properly for a long time.

"Did you see that?"

A woman said excitedly:

"That light last night! In the direction of the suburbs!"

"There's a huge city wall!"

Hope flashed in the eyes of the other women.

"Such a big city wall... there must be a lot of people inside!"

"Maybe there's food and water!"

"Should we go take a look?"

A Female Warrior stood up:

"Staying here is just waiting to die."

"Might as well try our luck."

"Even if we get rejected, it won't be worse than it is now."

The women looked at each other and nodded in succession.

"Let's go!"

...

Jiangcheng West District, a luxurious villa area.

A small faction was entrenched here, with over two hundred people.

The leader was an A-Rank Esper named Qian Fugui.

At this moment, he stood on the villa balcony, looking at the huge, glowing city wall in the distance.

His expression was extremely gloomy.

"Damn it!"

"To think they built such a huge Shelter!"

He gritted his teeth.

What made him even angrier was—the female survivors under his command were running away one after another!

"Boss! Another twenty have run away!"

A subordinate ran over to report in a panic.

"What?!"

Qian Fugui was so angry he almost vomited blood.

In just two days, out of a force of over two hundred, more than a hundred women had already run away!

"Those sluts!"

"I've been feeding them for so long!"

"And they just ran off like that!"

Qian Fugui was furious.

"Who the hell built that Shelter?"

Qian Fugui gritted his teeth:

"They only accept women? Isn't that cutting off our roots?"

"No..."

Qian Fugui's eyes rolled:

"I have to unite with other factions."

"That Shelter doing this is equivalent to destroying the foundation of all male factions!"

"If we all go together, they'll have to give us an explanation!"

He was calculating in his mind.

...

Jiangcheng South District, an underground refuge.

There were over three hundred female survivors here.

The leader was a female A-Rank Esper named Li Xue.

Through binoculars, she looked at the magnificent city wall in the distance.

A sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"Suburbs direction..."

"To be able to build such a large Shelter..."

"Could it be..."

She suddenly remembered the rumors from a while ago—the man who slew the SSS-rank Demonic Dragon.

"If it really is him..."

Li Xue's heart stirred.

She was very smart and knew that in the Apocalypse, following the right person was very important.

"Sisters!"

Li Xue stood up:

"We're going to that Shelter!"

"Huh? Sister Xue, aren't we going to build our own faction?"

Someone asked, confused.

"Build a faction?"

Li Xue shook her head:

"With just our numbers and strength, how long can we last in the Apocalypse?"

"Instead of struggling on our own, it's better to find a powerful backer."

"The person who can build such a large Shelter must have extraordinary strength."

"And I've heard that they only accept women there."

"That's actually safer for us."

The women suddenly realized.

"Sister Xue is right!"

"Let's go!"

Over three hundred female survivors marched mightily toward that Shelter.

...

Similar scenes were playing out all over Jiangcheng.

Countless female survivors saw the magnificent city wall and flocked to the mysterious Shelter.

However—there were also some male factions that felt dissatisfied after seeing it.

And Lin Yuan wasn't idle either.

He dispatched ten rescue teams.

Each team was led by a goddess, heading to various areas of Jiangcheng for rescue.

"Yanran, you take a team to the East District."

"Qingxue, you go to the West District."

"Bingning, the South District is left to you."

"Yuyan, I'm counting on you for the North District."

Lin Yuan quickly assigned the tasks.

The women accepted their orders and set off with elite Female Warriors.

...

East District.

Chu Yanran led fifty Female Warriors, sweeping away zombies and Evolved Beasts along the way.

Her S-rank Chu family secret technique was pushed to the limit.

Blood-colored runes shone in the air, and each one could instantly wipe out a B-Rank Evolved Beast.

"There's a distress signal from survivors ahead!"

A Female Warrior reported.

"Go!"

Chu Yanran rushed over without hesitation.

Inside a dilapidated shopping mall, dozens of female survivors were besieged by zombies.

They were resisting desperately, but clearly couldn't hold on for long.

"Help —"

"Someone save us —"

The women cried out in despair.

Just then—Buzz buzz buzz!!!

Countless blood-colored runes descended from the sky!

They bombarded the zombie horde densely!

In just ten seconds, over a hundred zombies were turned into blood mist!

"Who... who saved us?!"

The survivors widened their eyes.

Chu Yanran walked over slowly, her red dress fluttering in the wind.

Her exquisite face was like a goddess descending.

"I am Chu Yanran, from Lord Lin's Shelter."

She smiled:

"You are safe now."

"Come with us, the Shelter will protect you."

The female survivors were moved to tears.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"We are willing to join Lord Lin Yuan's Shelter!"

...

West District.

Ye Qingxue led a team to clear out zombies.

As her SS-rank Death Abyss Superpower unfolded, a pitch-black domain enveloped a thousand-meter radius.

All zombies were instantly swallowed, leaving not even a scrap behind.

The rescued female survivors looked at her with eyes full of worship.

"So... so strong..."

"Who... who are you?"

Ye Qingxue said coldly:

"Lord Lin's Shelter. Come with me."

"So cool!"

Ye Qingxue was expressionless, but she felt quite proud inside.

This feeling of being worshipped... was actually pretty nice.

...

South District.

Xia Bingning displayed the terror of her ice and fire dual elements.

Her left hand was extreme cold, her right hand was blazing flames.

Half of the Evolved Beasts were frozen into ice sculptures, and the other half were burned to ashes.

"Holy crap, is this too cool?"

The rescued Female Warriors' eyes were fixed on her.

"I am Xia Bingning, from Lin Yuan Shelter."

Xia Bingning smiled and asked:

"Are you willing to join us?"

"Yes! Of course we are!"

The women said in unison.

Just kidding, being able to follow such a powerful goddess—only a fool would refuse!
