154: Chapter 154 You dare to order me around?

Lin Yuan watched Pang Heihu's terrified face.

The capital. Jiang Xiaowan. The child. These three things were strung together by a single thread.

Was it targeting him? Or was it targeting the child in Jiang Xiaowan's womb? Lin Yuan couldn't figure it out for the moment.

If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it for now. In the apocalypse, answers were never found by guessing. They were hacked out.

Lin Yuan looked up at Jiang Chengye.

"From today on, only one branch of the Jiang Family remains."

He pointed at Jiang Xiaowan.

"Her branch."

Jiang Chengye's lips trembled.

"I... I can assist Xiaowan..."

"I have military knowledge, I can help her become an empress."

"You?"

Lin Yuan smiled.

"You're not worthy."

Jiang Chengye's face turned completely ashen.

The Jiang Family members knelt in a mass.

Some kowtowed.

Some cried.

Some buried their heads in the mud.

Jiang Xiaowan stood behind Lin Yuan, her palm pressing against her lower abdomen.

She looked at these relatives.

Before the apocalypse, they sat on both sides of a long table, discussing shares, family status, and the glory of the Jiang Family.

She clearly remembered the elder kneeling by the flower bed who had used sarcasm against her during a meeting for the Cloud Top Palace project.

And now, they were worth less than dogs.

Lin Yuan turned around.

"Bring General Manager Jiang Xiong."

General Manager Jiang Xiong was about to faint. He looked at Lin Yuan, his lips moving.

"It'll be hard for you to travel with me, just take care of Xiaowan..."

Lin Yuan didn't look back.

"She won't die."

General Manager Jiang Xiong closed his eyes.

This sentence was worth more than any promise.

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

"Mo Tong, we don't need the rest of them."

Pang Heihu still wanted to crawl.

Number Seven stepped on his back.

Lin Motong hugged the violent bear and lightly raised her hand.

The zombie hordes across four streets took a step forward simultaneously.

It was as orderly as if they were one person.

Some of the Jiang Family members wet their pants.

They finally understood.

The little girl holding a violent bear beside Lin Yuan was no child.

She was ten thousand times more terrifying than Pang Heihu.

Jiang Xiaowan looked at Lin Motong, the corners of her mouth twitching.

"Even the kids are cheating."

Lin Motong tilted her head to look at her.

"The one in your belly belongs to Uncle Lin."

Jiang Xiaowan was stunned.

Lin Motong added seriously.

"So I won't eat you."

Jiang Xiaowan: "..."

Thanks.

That's very reassuring.

Just then, the fog at the street corner parted.

The zombie horde suddenly became restless.

A three-meter-tall Mutant walked out from the East Street.

Its back was covered in bone armor.

Its arms dragged to its knees.

Human features still remained on its face, and its mouth was split to its ears.

It walked forward step by step.

A red light flashed in Lin Motong's eyes.

The surrounding zombie horde lowered their heads again.

But that Mutant did not kneel.

It just paused for a moment, then continued forward.

Wang Ya immediately stood in front of Lin Motong.

Water rose from the ground, condensing into a thin shield.

Lin Yuan looked at the monster.

An A-rank Mutant.

The monster stopped at the street corner, looked at Lin Motong, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Who gave you permission to control the zombies?"

Lin Motong hugged the violent bear tighter.

"Who are you?"

"City Patrol Envoy."

The monster raised its head.

"All zombie hordes in Zhe City are under the jurisdiction of the Zombie King."

In the courtyard, the Jiang Family members shuddered in unison upon hearing the words "Zombie King."

Pang Heihu stopped struggling.

He had followed "official" procedures when he came out; the City Patrol Envoy was here to save him!

Lin Yuan's gaze rested on the monster.

In his past life, he had heard that the Zhe City military region was wiped out by the Zombie King.

But that was after the eighth Red Moon.

He didn't know that Zhe City already had a Zombie King before that.

SS-rank?

Or even higher?

The City Patrol Envoy scanned Lin Yuan, Wang Ya, and Jiang Xiaowan.

It couldn't discern the ranks of Wang Ya and Lin Motong.

But it could feel that the two Mutants in front of it were very strong.

As for Lin Yuan standing beside them, humans were no different from ants in its eyes.

"Which faction are you from?"

"How dare you violate the agreement?"

Lin Yuan spoke.

"What?"

The City Patrol Envoy grinned.

"Playing dumb?"

"The King has already granted you a quarter of Zhe City's territory, allowing one hundred thousand of you to live."

"Both sides agreed not to cross the line."

"Is this a provocation?"

Jiang Xiaowan's expression changed.

She had been under house arrest in the Jiang Family and had heard some rumors.

Lin Yuan asked: "Fine, I admit I crossed the line. What do you want?"

The City Patrol Envoy looked at him.

"For the faction behind you, the Euthanasia List will double."

The red light in Lin Motong's eyes intensified; she couldn't stand the high-and-mighty attitude of this A-rank Mutant in front of her.

Wang Ya immediately pressed down on her hand.

She wasn't afraid.

She was a mother.

No matter how strong Lin Motong was, she was still just a child.

The City Patrol Envoy raised its hand.

"Now, relinquish control of the zombie horde."

"Otherwise, it will be considered a declaration of war."

Lin Motong looked up.

"You are ordering me?"

The City Patrol Envoy's voice grew colder.

"This is the King's will."

The red light in Lin Motong's eyes flared violently.

Seven Zombie Girls lunged out simultaneously.

Number Seven was the fastest.

She launched herself like a projectile, crashing directly into the City Patrol Envoy's chest.

Bang!

The bone armor rattled.

The City Patrol Envoy took half a step back, grabbed Number Seven's shoulder with a backhand, and smashed her into the ground.

Two C-rank zombie soldiers lunged from the side, biting its arm.

The City Patrol Envoy flung its arm.

One zombie soldier crashed into a wall.

The other had its neck grabbed and was nearly torn apart.

Wang Ya raised her hand.

A water blade sliced toward its joints.

Ssh.

A gash opened in the bone armor.

Since Mo Tong had already made a move, she, as a mother, had no choice but to support her unconditionally.

The City Patrol Envoy turned its head.

Just as it was about to charge at Wang Ya, Lin Motong spoke.

"You stepped into thin air."

The ground beneath the City Patrol Envoy was clearly solid.

But in its consciousness, it had suddenly become a deep pit.

It instinctively pulled back its foot.

Number Seven seized the moment, her knee slamming into the crack in its chest.

Crack!

The bone armor shattered.

The City Patrol Envoy grunted.

Lin Motong said again:

"The left is the real one."

The City Patrol Envoy immediately defended to the left.

But Number Seven crashed in from the right.

This time, it sent it flying directly into the pile of abandoned cars at the street corner.

Boom!

The metal collapsed.

The zombie horde began to grow restless.

The City Patrol Envoy crawled up, a large chunk of its chest bone armor missing.

It finally looked at Lin Motong.

What it saw could not be trusted.

What it heard could not be trusted either.

It retreated, not continuing the fight.

"The King will remember your scent."

Lin Motong tilted her head.

"Let it try."

The City Patrol Envoy slipped into the fog.

A few D-rank zombies wanted to follow.

Lin Motong glanced at them.

They immediately knelt back in place.

The fog dispersed.

Outside the Jiang Family villa, silence returned.

Wang Ya turned to look at Lin Motong.

"Tongtong, you shouldn't have started a fight directly."

"You should have waited for Mr. Lin to speak first."

"We cannot cause trouble for Mr. Lin."

Lin Motong lowered her head.

Her little face was unhappy.

"It ordered me."

Wang Ya wanted to say more.

Lin Yuan walked over and raised his hand to pat Lin Motong's head.

"It's fine."

Lin Motong looked up at him.

Lin Yuan's tone was very flat.

"Don't forget, your surname is Lin."

Lin Motong's grip on the violent bear tightened.

[Ding! Target Lin Motong, favorability +2%, current favorability: 26%!]

Jiang Xiaowan watched this scene, suddenly feeling a bit sour.

She had also received protection from that jerk back then.

But she had insisted on making trouble...

Lin Yuan turned around.

"Let's go."

Two Zombie Girls lifted General Manager Jiang Xiong.

Jiang Xiaowan hurried to catch up with Lin Yuan, her footsteps half a beat slower.

She whispered: "Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan looked at her.

Jiang Xiaowan rubbed her lower abdomen.

"If this child is really trouble..."

Lin Yuan interrupted her.

"Trouble is mine too."

Jiang Xiaowan lowered her head and smiled.

Her eyes felt a little itchy.

The corners of her mouth tasted a little salty.

The Jiang Family villa was submerged by the sea of zombies.

Jiang Xiaowan did not look back.

It wasn't until she heard the scream of a certain familiar elder that her fingertips trembled slightly.

Lin Yuan glanced at her.

She whispered: "It's not heartache, it's disgust."

Zhe City Safe Zone.

Command center.

On the radar screen, the Jiang Family villa area was locked by a red circle.

An officer took off his headset.

"Report."

"Large-scale movement of the zombie horde."

"But the signal source is different from before."

"Suspected appearance of a second Zombie King."

In the main seat, a middle-aged man in military uniform slowly looked up.

He held a piece of paper in his hand, which had been crumpled by his grip.

Four words were written on the cover:

[Euthanasia List]

At the very top of the first page was a photo of a seven-year-old girl.

Behind it, it was written: [Batch 7, Number 037, take medicine at 22:00 tonight.]
