94: Then I'll have fun with you guys.
“Who’s there?!”
A furious roar echoed.
Several Five-turn Professionals quickly rushed into the maze.
“What’s going on? Why is no one here?” A middle-aged assassin, holding an activation device, asked with some confusion.
His name was Fourth Master Zhao, the fourth son of Zhao Long City, specifically responsible for the defense of the water prison here.
Fourth Master Zhao shouted, “Quickly activate the thermal scan! The alarm wouldn’t be malfunctioning.”
Another Five-turn assassin produced something resembling a tablet computer from his hand.
As he operated it, a thermal imaging map of the entire water prison immediately appeared on the screen.
However, apart from them, there was not a single living creature in the maze on the map.
The assassin scratched his head, “That’s strange, there’s no one else. Is the alarm system broken? Boss, should we report it?”
“Report my ass! We’re still a distance from the water prison. Everyone, be careful!”
The group turned and walked deeper into the water prison.
However, at this moment, inside a completely invisible fighter jet above them, Lin Ling was observing the scene below.
Beside him, Zhou Mengyan and the other five were looking at each other with lingering fear.
“Lin Ling, thank you,” Zhou Mengyan said, looking at Lin Ling.
“Meng Yan, there’s someone here who needs your help. She’s badly injured,” Lin Ling nodded and immediately said.
Only then did Zhou Mengyan notice a girl lying in the cabin.
She didn’t ask further, quickly stepped forward, raised her staff, and immediately released a Holy Healing Light.
The milky-white light enveloped Li Shihan, and the injuries on her face were recovering at a visible speed.
Soon, all her stats were fully restored, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Lin Ling breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that she was unharmed.
“Meng Yan, Youyou, why are you here? Aren’t you leveling up with Jingliang and the others?”
Hearing this, the two girls’ eyes instantly turned red.
Zhou Mengyan clasped her two jade hands tightly together but didn’t speak.
And Youyou, at this moment, found an outlet for the negative emotions suppressed in her chest.
She suddenly collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
“Team Leader Lin, Jingliang is dead! He was killed by Xiao Yan! You must avenge him, boo hoo hoo…”
Boom…
Lin Ling’s mind instantly boomed.
Li Jingliang’s figure quietly appeared before his eyes.
Crack, crack, crack…
Lin Ling clenched his fists tightly, and an overwhelming killing intent appeared in his heart.
He had never so urgently wanted to kill someone before.
“Youyou, don’t cry. I promise you, I will avenge Jingliang today.”
Youyou finally let go of Lin Ling upon hearing this.
“You all rest for a bit, I’ll make a call.”
Lin Ling took out his phone and dialed Ji Mo’s number again.
“Ji Mo, where are you now?”
“Brother, I’m already in Xiao.”
“Brother, you’re too fierce!”
“How did you do it? How did our Heavenly Court Squad become affiliated with the War God Hall?”
“This is just too strong, a 50% attribute boost!”
“And a 200% experience bonus!”
Lin Ling listened to Ji Mo’s voice and quickly interrupted him.
“Doggy, let’s talk about the important stuff first.”
“Hahahaha…” Ji Mo said with some embarrassment, “A bit excited, don’t mind these details.”
“Then I’ll get to the point. The current situation is a bit complex.”
“There are three factions targeting you…”
“Brother, I know those things online definitely weren’t done by you, but we have to find evidence now, otherwise it will be very difficult for you to clear your name.”
Ji Mo finished speaking in one breath.
Lin Ling said, “You don’t need to worry about evidence. Since they want to play, then today we’ll completely deal with all of them. Doggy, are you with Wang Yilin?”
“Lin Laoda, uh, Happy Brother, I’ve come to find you.”
A passionate voice with a strong accent suddenly came from the phone.
“Good, it’s good that you’re here. We’ll talk when we meet,” Lin Ling said with a smile.
“Brother, everything I said earlier was bad news. Now, let me tell you some good news: Chen Aotian has also come to Xiao.”
Ji Mo’s voice rang out again.
“Hmm? Chen Aotian?”
A smile immediately appeared on Lin Ling’s face. This guy actually came to him.
“Yes, this kid is not simple. He brought over 20,000 people, which even alarmed the Dragon Nest People’s Army.”
Hearing this news, a hint of cunning suddenly flashed in Lin Ling’s eyes.
“More than 20,000 people, they can cooperate with me to put on a good show. Help me contact Ao Tian…”
A moment later, the call ended.
The Xiao Corporation was no longer a threat, but the Zhao Family was a bit difficult to handle.
Zhao Long City was once a general of the People’s Army, and even after retirement, his power remained immense.
To bring down the Zhao Family, some strong medicine was needed.
Lin Ling looked down at the water prison again. Its presence here always made him feel a bit strange.
“Phantom, can you detect the specific situation inside the water prison below?” Lin Ling asked the Phantom AI.
“Yes.”
“Scanning…”
“Scan successful, sharing enabled.”
The large screen immediately displayed the entire water prison.
The scene inside each cell was presented, and even the appearances of the prisoners held inside were clearly visible.
“Shang Biao?”
Lin Ling recognized Shang Biao and the other five who were hanging in the water prison at a glance.
Almost instantly, he guessed that these few people must have been implicated by him to be imprisoned here.
“This is…”
Zhou Mengyan looked at the other hostages on the screen, her eyes suddenly widening.
“This is Captain Yang Feng’s son from the Southern War Zone? This is Chief of Staff Li Ming’s wife from the Eastern War Zone? This is the second young master of the Luo Family?”
“Those imprisoned here are either military relatives or direct descendants of business magnates. How dare the Zhao Family?”
With Zhou Mengyan’s exclamation, Lin Ling immediately understood everything.
“Zhao Family, you are courting death.”
“Master, a large number of explosive devices have been found below the water prison. Should they be destroyed?”
The Phantom AI suddenly spoke.
“Can the explosive devices be destroyed silently?”
“Yes, Phantom is an ace fighter jet, possessing the most advanced technology.”
“Good, then destroy them.”
With Lin Ling’s command.
An invisible laser beam from below Phantom instantly pierced through the water prison, destroying all the detonators within the explosives below.
Lin Ling’s lips curled slightly.
“Since you want to play, then I’ll play along properly. Doggy, help me get some things.”
He clicked on the public chat and quickly typed a message, sending it out.
[Ye Xiu: I’m at Black Mountain Bottom Reservoir. Those who want to find me, come!]
“Ye Xiu has appeared!”
“Quick, quick, quick! Find him!”
In an instant, tens of thousands of Professional troops surged towards Black Mountain Bottom Reservoir.
10 minutes later.
On an island in the middle of Black Mountain Bottom Reservoir, Lin Ling stood proudly.
Behind him, Ji Mo, Wang Yilin, and Zhou Mengyan stood side by side.
And on both banks of the reservoir, over 10,000 people had gathered on each side.
“Look, the one standing at the very front is Lin Ling! I wouldn’t mistake him even if he turned to ash! He’s the one who killed the captain and stole our purple equipment!”
“Lin Ling wantonly slaughtered our compatriots, his crime deserves death!”
“Hand over the lecherous thief Lin Ling!”
“Hand over the murderous maniac Lin Ling!”
“If Lin Old Demon doesn’t die, the world will never be at peace!”
Cries of condemnation echoed like a rolling torrent from the shore.
“Bullshit! How could God Lin do such a thing?!”
“You are slandering, you are defaming him!”
“God Lin has the sacred set, who would care about your broken purple equipment?!”
Some of Lin Ling’s fans, carrying Wolf Tooth Hammers, immediately stood up to defend Lin Ling.
“You’re the ones spouting nonsense, a bunch of brainless fans! How do you know he’s not a beast in human skin, still trying to defend him?!”
“Exactly! Many people saw him kill and rob, yet you’re still making excuses for him!”
“If he’s got the guts, let him prove his innocence! If he can’t, then he’s the murderous maniac!”
“Try slandering my God Lin again, believe it or not, I’ll kill you!”
“Right, fight them! Did you see it with your own eyes? How do you know someone isn’t trying to harm my God Lin?!”
The shouts grew more intense, and for a moment, there was a faint sense of a battle about to erupt.
