239: Chapter 239 The Women Unite and Formulate Tactics

The news of the approaching zombie horde was like a bombshell, exploding within the Shelter.

150,000 Evolved Zombies, five SS-level Evolved Beasts, plus an SSS-level Zombie King, Hades.

This lineup would be enough to make anyone in the Apocalypse despair.

But the Female Survivors in the Shelter were surprisingly calm.

The reason was simple—they had Lin Yuan.

As long as that man was there, they feared nothing.

However, calm was one thing, but preparations still had to be made.

After Lin Yuan issued his orders, the heroines began to take action.

But just then, a problem surfaced.

"Why should Ye Qingxue guard the East Gate?"

Ye Qingyue suddenly spoke up, dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes:

"The East Gate is the most important line of defense; I should be the one guarding it!"

"Qingyue, the East Gate requires a large-scale AOE skill."

Ye Qingxue patiently explained:

"My Abyss of Death is perfectly suited for it."

"My Mental Storm is also a large-scale attack!"

Ye Qingyue retorted defiantly:

"And it's even more powerful than your Abyss of Death!"

"You…"

Ye Qingxue was choked by her sister's words.

Indeed, Ye Qingyue's SSS-level Superpower was superior in terms of raw power.

But the problem was that Ye Qingyue's emotions were too unstable.

If she lost control during the battle, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Enough."

A cold, clear voice interrupted the sisters' argument.

Luo Qinghan walked over slowly, her ink-black hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall, her phoenix eyes holding a detachment that seemed to see through all worldly affairs.

As the most mysterious existence within the Shelter, she rarely participated in such arguments.

But today, she chose to step forward.

"Is now the time for infighting?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a majesty that could not be ignored:

"The enemy is about to reach our doorstep, and you are still arguing over who guards which gate?"

"I…"

Ye Qingyue wanted to retort, but upon seeing Luo Qinghan's eyes, which seemed to pierce through everything, for some reason, the anger in her heart subsided a little.

This woman gave her a very strange feeling, as if she knew everything and had experienced everything.

"Qinghan is right."

Su Yuyan also walked over, purple-gold lightning dancing at her fingertips:

"The most important thing for us now is to unite as one, not to argue with each other."

"Lin Yuan entrusted the Shelter to us to protect; we cannot let him down."

Hearing Lin Yuan's name, the heroines present all quieted down.

Yes, they were all Lin Yuan's women.

It was understandable to be jealous over the same man.

But to be infighting when facing a formidable enemy?

That would simply be a disgrace to Lin Yuan!

"I propose holding a tactical meeting."

Ye Qingxue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down:

"Let's sit down and discuss properly, and formulate the most reasonable defense plan based on everyone's Superpower characteristics."

"Agreed."

Luo Qinghan nodded.

"I agree too."

Su Yuyan echoed.

The other heroines also expressed their agreement one after another.

Even Ye Qingyue, who had been throwing a tantrum just moments ago, nodded reluctantly.

Although she was very unhappy, she didn't want to disappoint Lin Yuan even more.

Ten minutes later, inside the Shelter's conference room.

All the core heroines gathered, the atmosphere serious and tense.

Ye Qingxue stood in front of the conference table, the large screen behind her displaying the Shelter's defensive layout.

"According to Xia Muqing's data analysis, the enemy is most likely to attack from four directions simultaneously."

She pointed to the markers on the screen:

"The East Gate faces the greatest pressure, with an estimated 50,000 Evolved Zombies and two SS-level Evolved Beasts."

"The West Gate is next, with about 40,000 zombies."

"The South Gate and North Gate have about 30,000 each."

"In addition, there are a large number of flying zombies that will launch attacks from the air."

After hearing Ye Qingxue's analysis, the heroines present all frowned.

This number of enemies was indeed quite tricky.

"I suggest this division of labor."

Ye Qingxue continued:

"The East Gate will be handled by me and Murong Xueer. My Abyss of Death will handle large-scale clearing, and Sister Xueer's Stars Shifting will handle reflecting powerful attacks."

"The West Gate will be the responsibility of Su Yuyan and Chu Yanran. Yuyan's Lightning Ability has strong attack power, and Yanran's Fate Perception can predict enemy movements."

"The South Gate will be handled by Tang Shiyun and Luo Qinghan. Shiyun's Heavenly Sound Kill can suppress enemies over a large area, and Qinghan's Time Perception can provide early warnings."

"The North Gate will be handled by Chen Hanyue and Xia Bingning. Han Yue's Mind Control can disrupt the enemy's formation, and Bingning's dual Ice and Fire attributes can cause massive damage."

"Air defense will be handled by the mother-daughter duo of Lin Wanrou and Lin Ruoxue. Their Ice Storm combo skill is perfectly suited to counter flying zombies."

"As for Qingyue…"

Ye Qingxue looked at her sister, a flash of worry in her eyes:

"You will act as the mobile force; go wherever support is needed."

"Your SSS-level Superpower is our trump card; it can turn the tide of the battle at critical moments."

Hearing this arrangement, Ye Qingyue's expression improved slightly.

Although she didn't have a fixed defensive zone, she was quite satisfied with the positioning of "trump card".

As for the other women in the Shelter, most of them were equipped with weapons provided by Lin Yuan.

This compensated for the issue of their Superpower levels not being high.

"I have no objections."

She rarely didn't throw a tantrum.

"What about the others?"

Ye Qingxue looked around at the women.

"I agree with this plan."

Luo Qinghan was the first to state her position.

"I have no objections either."

Su Yuyan nodded.

The other heroines also expressed their agreement.

"Very well."

Ye Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief:

"Then we will execute according to this plan."

"Remember, our goal is to hold the Shelter and wait for Lin Yuan to take care of that Zombie King."

"Before he returns, we must not let any enemy break through our defensive line!"

"Yes!"

The women responded in unison.

Just then, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

Lin Wanrou and Lin Ruoxue, the mother and daughter, walked in.

"Sorry, we're late."

Lin Wanrou said apologetically.

She was wearing a light blue dress today, her mature and elegant temperament carrying a touch of maternal tenderness.

In her thirties, she was maintained like a young woman in her early twenties, her skin fair and delicate, her features exquisite and moving.

Lin Ruoxue stood beside her mother, also in a long blue dress, her youthful and beautiful face carrying a hint of stubbornness.

Standing together, the mother and daughter looked like a pair of sisters.

"It's okay, we were just discussing you."

Ye Qingxue told them about the division of labor plan.

"Air defense?"

Lin Ruoxue frowned slightly:

"My cooperation with Mom is indeed good, but…"

She looked at her mother, hesitating.

Lin Wanrou understood what her daughter meant.

Ever since they both developed feelings for Lin Yuan, the relationship between mother and daughter had become somewhat subtle.

Although they were still harmonious on the surface, there was always an indescribable awkwardness in private.

"Ruoxue."

Lin Wanrou took a deep breath and looked at her daughter seriously:

"I know there are some… knots between us."

"But now is not the time to dwell on these things."

"The safety of the Shelter is more important than anything else."

"Mom…"

Lin Ruoxue was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected her mother to bring up this topic voluntarily.

"We are all Lin Yuan's women; that cannot change."

Lin Wanrou's voice became firm:

"Instead of being awkward with each other, it's better to accept it openly."

"At least in battle, we must cooperate fully."

"Otherwise, we won't just harm ourselves; we will implicate others."

Lin Ruoxue was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Mom is right."

Her eyes became serious:

"Regardless, protecting the Shelter comes first."

"Other things… let's talk about them after this battle."

Seeing the mother and daughter reach a consensus, the other heroines present breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ice Storm combo skill of Lin Wanrou and Lin Ruoxue was incredibly powerful and was the best choice for dealing with flying zombies.

If they didn't coordinate well, there would be a loophole in the air defense line.

"Then it's settled."

Ye Qingxue announced:

"Everyone to your positions, prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The women responded in unison, then left the conference room one after another, heading to their respective defensive zones.

Ye Qingyue walked at the end, her footsteps somewhat hesitant.

"Qingyue, what's wrong?"

Ye Qingxue noticed her sister's abnormality and asked with concern.

"Sister…"

Ye Qingyue bit her lip, a struggle flashing in her eyes:

"I… I will control myself."

"I won't disgrace Brother Lin Yuan."

Hearing this, Ye Qingxue felt a warmth in her heart.

She knew how hard it was to control her sister's yandere tendencies.

Being able to say such words showed that she was really trying.

"I believe in you."

Ye Qingxue reached out and ruffled her sister's hair:

"You are our trump card; everything depends on you at the critical moment."

"Mm!"

Ye Qingyue nodded forcefully, the confusion in her eyes gradually being replaced by firmness.

For Brother Lin Yuan, she could do anything!

Including temporarily suppressing her yandere emotions!

Meanwhile, on the city wall.

Lin Wanrou and Lin Ruoxue stood side by side, looking at the black wave gradually approaching from afar.

"Mom, are you afraid?"

Lin Ruoxue asked suddenly.

"Afraid?"

Lin Wanrou chuckled:

"It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid."

"But with Lin Yuan here, I won't worry too much."

"Me too."

Lin Ruoxue nodded:

"As long as he is here, I feel like any difficulty can be overcome."

The mother and daughter smiled at each other, and the subtle awkwardness seemed to dissipate quite a bit.

"Ruoxue, no matter what happens in the future…"

Lin Wanrou held her daughter's hand:

"You will always be my daughter; that will not change."

"Mom…"

Lin Ruoxue's eyes were slightly red, and she held her mother's hand back:

"I know."

"Let's protect the Shelter together, protect Lin Yuan!"

"Mm!"

The mother and daughter simultaneously activated their Superpowers, and the powers of the wind and ice began to resonate.

A powerful aura surged from them, causing the surrounding Female Warriors to look over.

"Ice Storm… ready!"

Lin Ruoxue shouted.

"Ready to launch at any time!"

Lin Wanrou echoed.

In the distance, the roar of the zombie horde was getting closer.

In the sky, dense swarms of flying zombies had already appeared in the field of vision.

The great battle was about to break out!

And at the highest point of the city wall, Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, a playful smile curling the corners of his mouth.

His women, indeed, did not let him down.

"Very good."

He said softly:

"Let me see how many surprises you can bring me."

"And that Zombie King…"

A sharp murderous intent flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes:

"I will handle it personally."
