230: Chapter 230 Adam's Daughter? I'd have to wait in line here too.

[Special arrival target has appeared.]

[Current arrival player: Eve.]

The red text hung before Lin Yuan's eyes.

Su Xiaonuan held the tablet.

Bound by the Soul Contract, she could feel Lin Yuan's emotional fluctuations.

"Mr. Lin?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer immediately.

A few seconds later, he looked up.

"Call Grandmaster Ling Suzhen over."

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen was currently at the outer rest station.

She was still covered in blood, her sleeve was torn, and several wounds on the back of her hand had just been stanched by serum.

Captain Han Xue found her with the communicator.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen wiped the blood off her wrist with a towel.

Lin Yuan's voice came through the communicator.

"Eve, what does this mean?"

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen's movements paused.

Su Xiaonuan immediately turned off the public channel, keeping only the internal communication.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen tossed the towel into the recycling bin.

"I've never seen an arrival notification with a name before."

Her voice lowered.

"When ordinary players arrive, the system only indicates the time or region."

"This time is different."

She paused.

"Every living player should have seen the word 'Eve'."

As soon as she finished speaking, the main screen suddenly flickered.

Static patterns exploded.

A forced encrypted channel broke in.

Officer Wei Zheng's face appeared on the screen.

He didn't bother with pleasantries.

"Mr. Lin."

"The Capital requests to enter Cloud Top Palace to assist in handling the special arrival target."

Su Xiaonuan's eyes turned cold.

"Accessing the main channel of Tiangong No. 1 without permission—are you declaring war?"

Liu Qing had already begun counter-tracking and reinforcing the firewall.

The Capital likely had high-level Espers with abilities similar to hers.

On the screen, Officer Wei Zheng was silent for half a second.

"This is a player-level event."

"It is a direct request from Adam."

Adam.

The two words fell.

In the communication channel, even Tang Qiqi didn't make a sound.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen's fingers tightened slightly.

Jiang Xiaowan sat in a side seat, supporting her belly, and let out a soft tsk.

"That name sounds pretty pretentious."

Officer Wei Zheng continued, "Tiangong No. 1 cannot handle this alone."

"The Capital will send a specialist team, expected to arrive in four hours."

Su Xiaonuan looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded.

Su Xiaonuan spoke immediately.

"The helicopters can land."

"But no weapons are allowed."

Officer Wei Zheng frowned.

"They represent the Capital."

Lin Yuan finally looked up.

"You represented the Capital last time too."

"And then you sent me a nuclear bomb."

Officer Wei Zheng shut up.

The communication cut off.

Jiang Xiaowan looked at the screen.

"This wave from the Capital is a classic case of 'read but reply nonsense'—getting hit and still coming back to visit."

Su Xiaonuan ignored her.

"Liu Qing, monitor their location throughout."

"Captain Han Xue, assemble a few sharp people to form a reception queue."

"Dr. Su, prepare for pollutant testing."

"Tang Qiqi."

Tang Qiqi's muffled voice came from the B2 level.

"I'm here, I'm here, I was just about to steal a second pudding."

Su Xiaonuan lowered her eyes.

"Shields on standby."

"Last time you said you could catch a nuclear bomb."

Tang Qiqi was silent for a second.

"I was bragging."

Su Xiaonuan: "Hmm?"

Tang Qiqi immediately corrected herself.

"But now I feel like I can give it a try."

Tiangong No. 1 began to rotate again.

Four hours later.

Three helicopters with the Capital's dragon insignia pierced through the snow curtain and landed on the outer square.

The cabin doors opened.

Director Xu Changfeng stepped down first.

He was still the same as ever, with no traces of the previous confrontations visible on his face.

The second person was a woman.

She wore a cyan combat uniform with a cyan lotus emblem embroidered on the cuffs.

As she stepped onto the ground, she first looked at the automated machine gun turrets, then scanned the patrol team.

She didn't look at the people greeting them.

When the third man stepped down, Captain Han Xue's hand stopped near her holster.

The man was in his early thirties, in a neat military uniform, with frostbitten red marks on his face.

When he saw Captain Han Xue, he froze in place.

"Captain Han Xue?"

It was actually Captain Han Xue's fiancé, that engineer, Zhang Yi.

Captain Han Xue didn't speak.

At the temporary reception area on the square, Lin Yuan sat in the main seat.

Su Xiaonuan stood on his right.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen leaned against the wall, temporarily filling in for Qin Yumo.

Director Xu Changfeng walked closer and voluntarily unholstered his weapon, placing it on the table.

"Mr. Lin."

Lin Yuan didn't even look at him.

His gaze fell on the woman in cyan.

The woman stepped past Director Xu Changfeng and handed a red-headed document to Lin Yuan.

"Jiang Yun."

"Special Observer from the Capital."

Her tone was flat.

"According to the highest authorization from the Capital, Tiangong No. 1 must share information related to Eve."

"At the same time, I want to see Lin Motong and Wang Ya."

"For accommodation and meals, the highest standard you have here will suffice."

"This is not a request."

"It is a necessary procedure."

"Additionally, I am Adam's daughter."

The square went quiet.

The surrounding soldiers all looked at her in unison.

Several laborers who had just finished moving ammunition crates were stunned.

They didn't understand what a player-level event was.

But they understood the sentence "Adam's daughter."

Watching the live stream through the screen, Jiang Xiaowan almost laughed out loud.

"Good grief."

"Is 'daddy-dropping' popular in the Capital's inner ring too?"

Su Xiaonuan didn't move.

Captain Han Xue didn't move.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen frowned.

Lin Yuan didn't take the document.

He leaned back in his chair, looking at Jiang Yun.

"On my turf."

"Learn some manners first."

Jiang Yun's eyebrows twitched.

She didn't expect Lin Yuan wouldn't even take the document.

Director Xu Changfeng lowered his eyelids slightly.

He knew Lin Yuan wouldn't give face.

But Jiang Yun didn't know.

She came from the Capital's inner ring.

A place that hadn't been truly bitten through by the apocalypse.

There, Adam's name was a pass.

But this was Tiangong No. 1.

Jiang Yun looked at Su Xiaonuan.

"You're in charge of logistics?"

Su Xiaonuan nodded.

Jiang Yun said, "Arrange it quickly, I'm exhausted after a four-hour flight."

Su Xiaonuan's voice remained hoarse.

"You can only enter the middle ring."

Jiang Yun looked at her.

Su Xiaonuan added, "There are beds in the middle ring."

"Meals will be provided according to visitor rations, there is bread and milk."

Zhang Yi, in the Capital team, finally couldn't help it.

He pushed past Director Xu Changfeng and Jiang Yun, rushing towards Captain Han Xue.

"You're still alive!"

He reached out to hug her.

Captain Han Xue sidestepped to avoid him.

Zhang Yi lunged at empty air.

A look of confusion flashed across his face.

"Don't you recognize me?"

"After the apocalypse, I've been asking about you."

"Jiangcheng is too chaotic, I..."

Captain Han Xue was silent for two seconds.

"The Han Xue of the old world is already dead."

Zhang Yi's face went pale.

"What did you say?"

Captain Han Xue stood straight.

"I now belong to Tiangong No. 1."

"Directly under Mr. Lin."

Zhang Yi stepped forward to grab her wrist.

Captain Han Xue raised her arm to block him.

The muzzle of her gun followed through, pressing against his chest.

Zhang Yi froze.

"Captain Han Xue, we have an engagement."

"You can't do this."

Captain Han Xue looked at him.

"I am a person of Tiangong No. 1."

"If you touch me again."

"I will treat you as a hostile target."

Zhang Yi's lips moved.

"Did he force you?"

"I have a Superpower, I can protect you now."

"In the Capital, no one can hurt you."

"Do you remember the bracelet my mom gave you?"

As these words fell.

Captain Han Xue squeezed the trigger.

"Shut up."

"Don't force me to kill you."

The color drained from Zhang Yi's face.

The eyes of the surrounding soldiers changed as they looked at him.

They were no longer looking at a Capital officer.

They were looking at someone who had been left behind by the old era.

Jiang Yun took the opportunity to speak.

"Don't you want to know why there are players?"

Lin Yuan looked at her.

"I don't."

Jiang Yun was choked up.

Director Xu Changfeng's eyelids moved as he looked at Grandmaster Ling Suzhen behind Lin Yuan.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen stood there, not avoiding his gaze.

This action was already the answer.

The former Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster of the Capital would not be going back.

The arrogance in Jiang Yun's eyes dimmed a notch.

[Ding! Target Jiang Yun (Beauty 91), favorability -1%, current favorability: -8%.]

Lin Yuan lifted his hand from stroking the seam of his pants.

He didn't expect that this so-called daughter of Adam wasn't a player.

Jiang Yun noticed his gaze.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Yuan said faintly, "Wondering if I keep you here."

"Will Adam bomb me with an atomic bomb again?"

Jiang Yun's face turned cold.

Su Xiaonuan lowered her eyes, her fingers tapping twice on the tablet.

A private command was sent.

[Tang Qiqi]

[Shields on standby.]
