181: Chapter 181 "If you want to live, put yourself on a new scale."

Su Xiaonuan stood in front of the command screen.

She was still holding the note Lin Yuan had sent from his space.

[Nothing to worry about, guard the home.]

"Captain Han Xue."

"Present."

"Load your guns, push the shields forward, and have all the laborers in the outer circle retreat behind the warning line."

Captain Han Xue turned around immediately.

"Understood."

Jiang Xiaowan stood behind Su Xiaonuan, holding a tablet.

She glanced at the screen.

Through the dust, a group of people was running toward the mountain road.

Some were carrying children.

Some were dragging broken legs.

Most of them had nothing in their hands.

Jiang Xiaowan whispered, "It doesn't look like an attack."

Su Xiaonuan didn't look back.

She crossed her arms and tapped her fingers in imitation of Lin Yuan.

Outside the main gate.

Captain Han Xue stood in front of the gate with her gun raised.

Fat Dragon led his men to push the roadblocks into the middle of the road.

Jiang Hao rushed to fifty meters away, his legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Help!"

The students and survivors behind him knelt down one after another.

A girl was crying silently.

A boy was holding his arm, black blood staining his wound.

Captain Han Xue didn't lower her gun.

"Everyone, stop outside the yellow line."

"Cross the line, and we open fire."

Jiang Hao knocked his forehead against the ground.

"Zhou Lan colluded with outsiders and killed Liu Bin."

"She let people in to raid the warehouse."

"If my perception Superpower hadn't discovered them, we all would have died."

He looked up, his face covered in mud.

"Mr. Lin, please take us in."

"We are willing to work."

"As long as you give us a bite to eat."

Silence fell inside and outside the gate.

Su Xiaonuan walked to the gate.

Qin Yumo stood beside her, clutching her sword.

Su Xiaonuan certainly wouldn't tell these people outside that Lin Yuan wasn't there.

"Liu Bin is dead?"

Jiang Hao's voice trembled.

"Dead."

"Zhou Lan used a sonic shock to knock him unconscious, and that group of people outside cut off his head."

Su Xiaonuan nodded.

"So Ston has fallen."

"You lost the outpost that Mr. Lin arranged."

Jiang Hao's face turned pale.

"We did our best..."

Su Xiaonuan interrupted him.

"This place is not a welfare home for failures."

After these words fell, there was dead silence outside the yellow line.

A student looked up, his eyes full of despair.

"Mr. Lin saved us before."

Su Xiaonuan looked at him.

"He saved you because Ston had value."

"Not because you are pitiful."

Teacher Xia ran out from behind the gate, still panting heavily.

She saw several familiar faces in the crowd.

There were her former students.

They used to wear school uniforms, complain about too much homework, and sneakily eat snacks under their desks during class.

Now they were kneeling in the mud, not even daring to cry out loud.

Teacher Xia stopped behind Su Xiaonuan.

She pushed up her glasses with her middle finger.

"Give them a way to live."

Su Xiaonuan turned her head.

"Teacher Xia, since when is it your turn to speak here?"

Teacher Xia was silent for a second.

Suppressing the fear in her heart, she continued to speak.

"They are still young."

"The fall of Ston wasn't entirely their fault."

Su Xiaonuan looked at her.

"Then whose rations are you planning to use to pay for your kindness?"

Teacher Xia's lips moved.

Su Xiaonuan continued, "The workers in the outer circle have to move stones, repair walls, and clean up corpses every day just to earn a bowl of food."

"Or are you suggesting we use the rations of those Zombie Girls in the B3 laboratory?"

Teacher Xia's face turned pale.

She had saved many people.

But she couldn't answer whose mouth this bowl of food should be taken from.

Su Muxue stepped forward.

"Xiaonuan."

"Teacher Xia has contributed quite a bit to the serum project."

"This part of the value can be counted under the medical team."

Su Xiaonuan looked at her aunt.

The people around held their breath.

Su Muxue rarely spoke up for others.

And even less often did she contradict Su Xiaonuan in public.

After all, that would affect Housekeeper Su's prestige in everyone's eyes.

Su Xiaonuan was silent for three seconds.

Then she nodded.

"Fine."

Teacher Xia just let out a sigh of relief.

Su Xiaonuan had already turned around.

"Jiang Hao."

Jiang Hao looked up immediately.

"Present!"

"The remnants of Ston can enter the outer circle."

"Status: lowest-level laborers."

"Everyone must register their fingerprints, blood samples, and Superpowers."

"Those who conceal anything will die."

Someone behind Jiang Hao got anxious.

"Lowest-level laborers?"

"We were core personnel of Ston!"

Bang!

Su Muxue sent an ice spike grazing past his face.

Ice shards splattered at the feet of the person next to him.

"Say that again?"

The man shut his mouth immediately.

Su Xiaonuan looked at Jiang Hao.

"Before Mr. Lin gives the word, I will not give you a second chance at trust."

"But I can save your lives."

Jiang Hao knocked his head down.

"Thank you."

The gate opened a crack.

Captain Han Xue led people to search them one by one.

Fat Dragon was swearing on the side.

"Behave yourselves."

"Don't bring that school clique mentality in here."

"We don't do class committees here."

The Ston survivors entered the outer circle.

Su Xiaonuan had already walked quickly back to Tiangong No. 1, with Qin Yumo, Su Muxue, and Teacher Xia each half a step behind.

If she were wearing a long, floor-sweeping gown, she would look exactly like an empress mother of the world.

The gate of Tiangong No. 1 opened, and Jiang Xiaowan walked over holding her tablet.

"You almost made Teacher Xia cry just now."

Su Xiaonuan glanced at Teacher Xia, who was disinfecting and washing her hands nearby: "Her nature is still too soft; if it weren't for Mr. Lin, she wouldn't survive in the apocalypse."

Jiang Xiaowan choked.

She suddenly felt that Su Xiaonuan was becoming more and more like Lin Yuan.

At the same time.

Zhe City Inner City.

Lin Yuan was sitting in the former villa of Commander Wei Guangjun.

Outside the window, the personal guards stood in two rows.

Feng Sanhai would come to report every morning, noon, and evening for the past two days.

Zhou Heng was responsible for reorganizing the Resistance and the old army.

Wang Ya was resting with Lin Motong.

The entire Zhe City had already started revolving around an outsider.

Feng Sanhai stood in the living room.

A young woman followed behind him.

In her early twenties.

White shirt, black trousers.

Wearing a high ponytail.

Her makeup-free face seemed to have a glow.

When she saw Lin Yuan, her breathing paused for a moment.

Feng Sanhai lowered his head.

"Mr. Lin, this is my daughter, Feng Qingwu."

"She wants to thank you personally for saving Zhe City."

Feng Qingwu stepped forward.

"Mr. Lin."

"Thank you."

Her voice was trembling a little.

[Ding! Target Feng Qingwu (Beauty 85), current favorability 15%.]

Lin Yuan crossed his legs, looking with interest at the beautiful woman in front of him who met the criteria for a tool person.

"Afraid of me?"

Feng Qingwu's face turned red.

"Not afraid."

"It's just... I saw with my own eyes the million-strong zombie horde in the North District kneeling down."

"Seeing you again, my legs aren't listening to me."

Lin Yuan smiled.

"Being able to stand and talk is already better than many people."

[Ding! Target Feng Qingwu (Beauty 85), favorability +1%, current favorability 16%.]

This girl's favorability is a bit sensitive.

Lin Yuan suddenly realized something.

Zhe City Safe Zone is a place with a population of 100,000.

There should be quite a few tool people who meet the system's conditions.

He remembered the feeling when the Zombie King's bone spur pierced his abdomen.

The stitched wound had healed, but it was still throbbing with pain.

Mental Energy is over 100, which is strong enough for now.

Superpower is also sufficient; once he gets home and develops Su Muxue to 50%, he can get another S-rank Superpower.

But his constitution is still only 72 points... (Lin Motong added 16 points of constitution during the evolution process, and 50% was synchronized to Lin Yuan).

There will be more monsters in the future.

More players.

More unreasonable things.

He was able to kill the Zombie King this time, but what about next time?

"Feng Sanhai."

Feng Sanhai, who was ready to leave, stopped immediately.

"Present."

Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair.

"Issue an announcement in the name of the Zhe City Command."

"I, Lin Yuan."

"Publicly recruiting female companions."

Feng Sanhai looked up sharply.

Lin Yuan's tone was steady.

"Based on Feng Qingwu's beauty, once approved by me, I can provide protection and food for them."

Feng Qingwu blushed.

Feng Sanhai's scalp went numb.

Is this savior about to turn into Homelander in the blink of an eye?

Lin Yuan looked out the window.

"Tell everyone."

"The marriage, morality, and decency of the old world are all over."

"If you want to live, put yourself on a new scale."
