83: Chapter 83 Jiang Xiong's Call: You Dare to Touch My Daughter?

Deep night.

The master bedroom on the second floor of Cloud Top Palace.

When Qin Yumo pushed the door open and entered, she had changed into a small Tank top and athletic shorts.

Bandages were wrapped around the outer side of her thighs, but she walked without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Yuan sat on the sofa, holding a tablet.

The drone footage was frozen.

In the footage, Qin Yumo stood on the roof of the george patton, snapping the neck of a D-rank Elite Zombie with one hand.

Lin Yuan raised his eyes.

"Kneel."

Qin Yumo didn't ask for the reason.

She dropped to one knee.

Her red hair hung down to her shoulders; there was no grievance in her eyes, but rather a glimmer of light.

Lin Yuan put the tablet aside.

"Today, you spent thirteen seconds on that D-rank Elite Zombie."

Qin Yumo lowered her head.

"Master, I made a mistake."

"It wasn't a mistake."

Lin Yuan stood up and walked over to her.

"You were venting."

Qin Yumo's breathing hitched for a beat.

Lin Yuan reached out and pressed down on her shoulder.

The next second.

Bang.

Qin Yumo was forced to her knees.

The floor emitted a dull thud.

She did not resist.

Lin Yuan's voice was very faint.

"You relied on the fact that you aren't afraid of infection, so you used the stupidest method to go head-to-head."

"That was a mad dog."

"Next time, you might face a Mutant with a brain, or even a human."

"Are you still going to fight like that?"

Qin Yumo looked up.

The corners of her mouth actually curled up slightly.

Lin Yuan looked at her.

After this woman awakened, the wildness in her bones had been completely unleashed.

In her previous life, the reason Qin Yumo could survive as one of the three S-rankers was not because of recklessness.

It was her combat instinct in extreme states.

Lin Yuan raised his hand.

Water flowed out from the direction of the bathroom, forming thirty-six water needles in mid-air.

The water needles hung around Qin Yumo.

"Close your eyes."

Qin Yumo closed her eyes.

Swish.

The first water needle grazed her arm.

It didn't pierce through.

It only left a shallow line of blood.

Qin Yumo's eyelashes flickered.

Lin Yuan said coldly: "Determine the direction."

"Upper left."

Swish.

The second one.

"Right rib."

The third one.

"Behind."

The speed of the water needles became faster and faster.

Qin Yumo knelt on the ground, but her body began to make small adjustments.

Not to dodge.

But to perceive.

The pain caused the Wild Resonance within her to awaken bit by bit.

Half an hour later.

Qin Yumo, with her eyes closed, perfectly dodged the water needles from three directions.

"That's it for today." Lin Yuan flicked the ash off his cigarette.

Qin Yumo's forehead was covered in sweat.

The bandages were seeping blood again.

She opened her eyes, and the rampant bestiality in the depths of her eyes was finally suppressed a notch.

Lin Yuan retracted the water needles.

"Remember."

"Pain is fuel, not the steering wheel."

Qin Yumo bowed her head, her forehead resting against Lin Yuan's leg.

Her eyes were unfocused.

"Master, I will remember."

[Ding! Target Qin Yumo (Beauty 85), Favorability +2%! Current Favorability: 46%!]

In the next room.

Tang Qiqi hugged her pillow and tossed and turned in bed for the fifth time.

She kicked the quilt away, then pulled it back.

"Great Demon King."

"Calling Sister Yumo over in the middle of the night, he definitely has bad intentions."

She pricked up her ears.

The hallway was very quiet.

The quieter it was, the more annoyed she became.

In her mind, she kept cycling between the image of Qin Yumo calling him Master and Lin Yuan's hands checking Qin Yumo's wounds in the car.

After a shudder, Tang Qiqi sat up abruptly.

Her face was incredibly red.

"That's not right."

"I'm worried about Sister Yumo."

"I am definitely not thinking about that scumbag."

She grabbed the Rem pillow by the bedside and punched it hard twice.

"Once this magical girl awakens her electric-type Superpower, the first thing I'll do is hit the Great Demon King with a 100,000-volt shock!"

After saying that, she curled back into the quilt.

A few seconds later, she whispered a correction.

"Make the shock a little lighter."

"Don't strike Sister Yumo as well."

[Ding! Target Tang Qiqi (Beauty 86), Favorability +2%! Current Favorability: 6%!]

...

The next morning.

Lin Yuan walked out of the master bedroom.

Qin Yumo followed behind, her red hair tied up, her eyes much steadier than last night.

Su Xiaonuan was already waiting at the door.

She was wearing a maid outfit, holding a tablet in her arms.

The jasmine scent was faint.

"Boss Lin."

"The military channel just broadcasted the latest movements of the South Suburb Military District."

Lin Yuan took the tablet she handed over.

The screen displayed intercepted text communications.

[Temporary counter-attack plan of the South Suburb Military District.]

[Target: Jiangcheng University.]

Su Xiaonuan said in a low voice: "She is operating under the banner of liberating survivors and recruiting elite talent."

"The accompanying personnel include a team of Espers and a batch of military armed forces."

In the hall, breakfast was already set.

Wang Ya was busy serving plates at the dining table.

Su Muxue, Jiang Xiaowan, and Lin Motong sat down one after another.

Tang Qiqi, with dark circles under her eyes, huddled next to Qin Yumo while hugging her pillow, like a little rabbit that hadn't woken up yet.

Jiang Xiaowan didn't have her own clothes, so she had to borrow a white shirt from Su Muxue first.

The clothes didn't fit well, but instead made those long legs look even more prominent.

She heard Su Xiaonuan's words and scoffed.

"Shen Qingyue really knows how to pick a place."

"Jiangcheng University must still have quite a few survivors, and there are laboratory facilities."

"Taking that place can provide Shen Qingyue with a batch of technical talent."

Lin Yuan tossed the tablet back to Su Xiaonuan.

"She isn't going for the technical talent."

Su Xiaonuan looked up.

"Then what?"

Lin Yuan sat in the main seat and picked up a piece of bread.

"Chu Feng."

Tang Qiqi was stunned for a moment.

"Instant Noodle Brother?"

Lin Yuan spread peanut butter on the bread.

The three S-rankers of Jiangcheng in his previous life.

Qin Yumo was here with him.

Su Muxue was also here with him.

Shen Qingyue couldn't find anyone, so she had to gamble on the last one.

The Sun God, Chu Feng.

But that guy was both poor and stubborn.

What he hated most was the airs put on by the powerful and wealthy.

Shen Qingyue bringing an army, a system, and propaganda slogans to recruit him.

It was equivalent to stepping on a landmine with high heels.

Lin Yuan smiled.

"We aren't going."

"Let's watch the show first."

Su Xiaonuan nodded.

"Understood."

Jiang Xiaowan looked at him.

"You're so sure?"

Lin Yuan said indifferently: "Shen Qingyue treats talent like dogs."

"Chu Feng will only treat her like firewood."

Tang Qiqi slapped her pillow.

"Is Instant Noodle Brother going to unleash his ultimate?"

At this moment, Tank's voice came over the walkie-talkie.

"Boss."

"We're back."

He paused.

"The defensive line at Ston School has been set up."

"Liu Bin is in charge of food, and Jiang Hao is checking people."

"Three people who tried to grab food were hung on the basketball hoop by us."

"One of them was the parent who scolded Teacher Xia the loudest yesterday; after being hung up, no one else below dared to shout."

Shadow added: "The back door of the Sports Stadium has been welded shut, and the equipment room has been converted into an isolation ward."

"Additionally, we brought back 8 gray crystal cores (ordinary) and 1 white one (elite)."

Tank said in a muffled voice: "As for the rest, whether they live or die depends on their own luck."

Lin Yuan looked at Qin Yumo.

"In a while, you carry all the white crystal cores on you."

"That thing can help you recover quickly when your stamina is low."

"It's equivalent to a mana potion."

Su Xiaonuan immediately recorded it.

Qin Yumo's eyes lit up.

Replenish stamina?

Does that mean she won't be beaten too badly by Lin Yuan tonight?

Just at this moment.

A cup falling to the ground could be heard nearby.

Clatter.

Xia Qingqiu was standing by the dining table.

Her complexion didn't look right.

Her glasses were fogged up.

The next second, she collapsed forward.

Su Muxue reacted the fastest, raising her hand to press against her neck.

"Her body temperature is very high."

Lin Yuan walked over and crouched down.

Xia Qingqiu's glasses were crooked, and her breathing was rapid.

There was a pale green light flickering in the palm of her hand.

Su Muxue's expression changed.

"It's a bit like that time with Lu Xixi."

"Awakening?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

"Take her to the medical room on the second floor."

Xia Qingqiu woke up briefly.

She saw Lin Yuan, her voice very faint.

"Am I... infected?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer and continued speaking to Su Muxue.

"Use her blood combined with antibiotics and crystal cores."

Xia Qingqiu's body trembled.

She had been afraid of getting blood drawn since she was a child.

Lin Yuan ignored her.

"I want to see the antiviral serum within twenty-four hours."

Su Muxue didn't hesitate.

"I need her blood samples, bone marrow samples, saliva, sweat, and data on her Superpower release under the stimulation of crystal cores."

Xia Qingqiu looked up.

Behind her glasses, there was fear in her eyes.

"That... can I refuse?"

Lin Yuan looked at her: "No."

There was a look of humiliation in Xia Qingqiu's eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Wang Ya walked over and helped Su Muxue support Xia Qingqiu's arms.

"Teacher Xia."

"You've always wanted to save people."

"Now you have the qualification."

Xia Qingqiu's lips moved.

She wanted to say she wasn't a tool.

But the words reached her lips, and she swallowed them back.

If her blood was really useful...

She lowered her head.

"Okay."

[Ding! Target Xia Qingqiu (Beauty 89), Favorability +1%! Current Favorability: 6%!]

Su Muxue helped her up.

"Follow me."

Wang Ya picked up the cleaning tools and silently cleaned up the broken cup on the floor.

Lin Motong watched Xia Qingqiu's back and whispered: "Teacher has finally become a useful person too."

Tang Qiqi shuddered.

"Little Queen, why does what you say sound even scarier than the Great Demon King?"

Lin Motong tilted her head.

"Isn't that a compliment?"

Tang Qiqi shut up.

"Communication connected!"

An electronic voice came through.

The main screen in the hall lit up on its own.

A string of encrypted code flashed by.

Then a communication request popped up.

[General Manager Jiang Xiong]

Jiang Xiaowan rushed to the screen in a few steps, her voice trembling.

"Dad!"

The image hadn't fully stabilized yet.

A man's steady voice came from the communicator first.

"Xiaowan."

"It's good that you're okay."

Jiang Xiaowan's eyes reddened.

"I'm at Cloud Top Palace."

"Lin Yuan saved me."

There was a second of silence on the other end.

Then, General Manager Jiang Xiong's voice deepened.

"Let that guy surnamed Lin answer the phone."

"If he dares to touch a single hair on my daughter..."

He didn't finish the sentence.

Lin Yuan had already walked behind Jiang Xiaowan.

A shadow covered her shoulders.

He took the communicator from Jiang Xiaowan's hand.

His tone was calm.

"General Manager Jiang Xiong."

"Your daughter is mine from her hair down to her ankles right now."

"How do you want me to touch her for you to see?"

On the other side of the screen.

The sound of breathing stopped for half a second.

The next moment.

General Manager Jiang Xiong's voice was as cold as iron.

"Lin Yuan."

"You are courting death."
