173: Chapter 173 "We Prepare to Retake Zhejiang City!"

The smile on Captain Zhao's face froze.

That thread of water was wrapped around his wrist.

It was as thin as a strand of hair.

Yet, despite unleashing his full A-rank Physical Superpower, his arm muscles bulging and the ground cracking under his feet, that hand couldn't move even half an inch.

Wang Ya lifted her eyes.

The grey-white irises were hidden by colored contact lenses.

But for that split second, Captain Zhao still felt as if he were being watched by something cold.

"You..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Wang Ya slightly curled her fingers.

"Snap."

Captain Zhao's wrist twisted.

Bones cracked first.

Immediately after, all the water in the entire Amusement Park began to move.

The standing water on the ground.

The sewage in the drains.

The blood that hadn't yet congealed in the corpses' wounds.

Even the dew dripping from the iron frame of the Ferris wheel.

It was all drawn out.

Hundreds of water threads hung in mid-air.

Like blades.

Like whips.

Like a net that had already been tightened.

Captain Liu Meng knelt on the ground, his mouth agape.

He had just thought that Lin Yuan was the most dangerous one.

Now he realized.

This family—even the "wife" was of disaster-level.

Captain Zhao swallowed hard.

"It's a misunderstanding."

He immediately changed his tune.

"I just wanted to test your strength."

Lin Yuan stood nearby, not making a move.

He watched Captain Zhao.

"Did you figure it out?"

Captain Zhao's face twitched.

He quickly crushed a white crystal core in his pocket.

The water thread was loosened by half a fraction for an instant.

The next second, he exerted force violently, grabbing at Lin Motong with his other hand.

As long as he caught that little girl.

He would still have a bargaining chip.

"Boom!"

A giant hand formed from water pressure smashed down from mid-air.

Captain Zhao was pressed entirely into the ground.

The concrete shattered.

His chest pressed against the ground, his face distorted by the pressure.

An A-rank Physical Superpower powerhouse.

Captain Zhao of the Zhe City Inner City.

Just moments ago, he had wanted to swallow Lin Yuan's family of three in one gulp.

Now he was lying on the ground of the Amusement Park like a dog with its neck pinned down.

Wang Ya didn't speak.

The B-rank crystal core in her hand lit up.

It was the one Lin Yuan had stuffed into her hand before they set off.

It was originally intended for dealing with the Zombie King.

Unexpectedly, it was used on Captain Zhao first.

The light of the crystal core quickly dimmed.

"Snap."

It cracked.

Wang Ya's face paled slightly.

Lin Yuan glanced at her, raised his hand, and tossed over two C-rank red crystal cores.

"Use them."

After all, one can only dote on one's own woman.

Wang Ya caught the crystal cores.

She didn't ask.

She absorbed them directly.

[Ding! Target Wang Ya (Beauty 88), Favorability +2%, Current Favorability: 83%.]

Captain Zhao lay on the ground, his eyes rolling upwards.

Seeing this scene, his heart went completely cold.

crystal cores.

Given away casually.

And two C-rank ones at that.

In the Zhe City Safe Zone, a single C-rank crystal core could make the Inner City upper echelons fight until they broke their heads.

Even Commander Wei Guangjun wouldn't dare use crystal cores like this.

After all, there was an agreement with the Zombie King; killing those Mutants was equivalent to declaring war.

Yet in this man's hands, it was like buying two candies for a woman.

"Who exactly are you?"

Captain Zhao's voice changed.

Lin Yuan didn't answer.

Wang Ya lifted her foot and walked in front of him.

The hand of water pressure pinned him down tightly.

Water whips lashed down, one after another.

"Crack!"

The first strike.

The combat suit on Captain Zhao's back split open.

"Crack!"

The second strike.

Flesh and skin ripped open.

"Crack!"

The third strike.

He gritted his teeth and held on.

The fourth strike.

The fifth strike.

The tenth strike.

Captain Zhao finally screamed.

"Ah!"

The water whips didn't kill him directly.

Each strike avoided his vital points.

Painful.

But not fatal.

This was harder to endure than death.

Captain Liu Meng watched this scene, the gun in his hand sliding to the ground.

He didn't dare pick it up.

Captain Zhao was the strongest Physical Superpower Esper in the Safe Zone, and he was being pummeled like this?

Zhou Heng's team saw the situation here and slowly approached, but upon seeing what was before them, they could only stop in their tracks.

No one spoke.

Before they came, they had already prepared to die here.

But now, the entire Zombie Horde of the Amusement Park was kneeling on the outer perimeter.

The Zombie King had fled.

Captain Zhao was being whipped by a woman, rolling all over the ground.

This scene didn't look like a rescue.

It looked like a larger monster had entered the field.

Wang Ya stopped.

She looked down at Captain Zhao.

"I used to think I was just a useless woman."

Her voice wasn't loud.

"Only knowing how to wash clothes and cook."

Wang Ya's fingernails dug into her palms.

She didn't look down at the wounds.

Because in that instant, she remembered these hands that previously only dared to block Li Hongda's fists.

These hands that previously only knew how to wash clothes, cook, and tutor Lin Motong.

Until later, when Lin Yuan took these hands and handed her a knife.

Wang Ya continued, "Mr. Lin told me."

"Whoever dares to touch my daughter."

"I can kill them."

As the last word fell.

The water pressure intensified violently.

Captain Zhao's chest collapsed by an inch.

His eyes widened, and a pungent smell came from his crotch.

Lin Motong held her little bear and glanced at Captain Zhao.

"Smelly."

Wang Ya's fingertips paused.

Lin Yuan said calmly, "It's normal."

"The A-rank experience card has expired."

A young team member behind Zhou Heng couldn't help it and almost laughed out loud.

The next second, he shut his mouth again.

Because Wang Ya turned to look over.

The team member immediately lowered his head.

This sister did not like to joke.

Captain Zhao lay on the ground, panting like a broken bellows.

His A-rank Physique, which he was so proud of, became a joke in front of Wang Ya.

Not on the same level.

Nor the same system.

He relied on low-level crystal cores to slowly recover his Superpower energy and relied on the privileges of the Safe Zone to eat people.

While Wang Ya relied directly on Lin Yuan's high-level crystal cores to explode with killing power.

The gap was laid out on the ground.

Lin Yuan walked up to Captain Zhao.

"Does Commander Wei Guangjun know you changed the list in private?"

Captain Zhao's eyes shrank.

He hadn't expected Lin Yuan to know.

Lin Yuan took out his communicator.

Liu Qing had already cut the recording in.

Commander Wei Guangjun's voice came from inside.

"Whoever signed, they go on the list."

"No temporary additions allowed."

"No using the list to stir up trouble."

"Whoever dares to change the list in private, I will kill them first."

The voice wasn't loud.

But it made the faces of the remaining people in the escort team turn pale.

Captain Liu Meng knelt on the ground, his head pressed against it.

"Mr. Lin!"

"It was Captain Zhao! It was Pockmarked Chen! I was just a guard on the road!"

"Please don't take your anger out on us."

Zhou Heng, carrying Zhou Niannian on his back, slowly walked closer.

He looked at Wang Ya first, then at Lin Motong.

Finally, his gaze landed on Lin Yuan's face.

This face—he finally recognized it.

By the river in Zhe City.

The helicopter.

Jiang Xiaowan.

The man who brought a Zombie Horde to pick someone up.

Zhou Heng's pupils shrank.

"Why are you here?"

The Resistance members all looked over.

Captain Liu Meng lay on the ground, his scalp tingling.

The two knew each other?

Zhou Heng knew this monstrous man?

Then why did they have such a chaotic fight? He could have just knelt from the start.

Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Heng.

"Didn't you invite me to Zhe City to have a look?"

"I've come to repay the favor for the helicopter."

Zhou Heng's throat moved.

He had only been polite at the time.

Who could have thought that Lin Yuan would actually come.

This is called "having a look"?

This is coming to demolish the place.

Zhou Heng said in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to enter like this."

Lin Yuan didn't answer.

The communicator suddenly vibrated.

Liu Qing's voice cut into the channel.

"Master."

"We have detected large-scale troop mobilization inside the Zhe City Safe Zone."

"Commander Wei Guangjun seems to be preparing to act."

At the same time.

In the distance, on the high walls of the Safe Zone, searchlights lit up one by one.

The broadcast voice echoed across the night sky.

"The entire zone is entering a wartime state."

"The Zombie King is severely injured!"

"All Espers assemble, all armed forces assemble!"

"We are preparing to take back Zhe City!"
