After one night’s sleep, Su Wan wakes up to find she’s transmigrated into an apocalypse novel—as the vicious side character who starts off by stealing the female lead’s space, cruelly tortu...
The subordinates came to report that Lu Shiyan had arrived.
"Bring him in!"
The door opened, and a pungent smell of gunpowder mixed with blood rushed in, making people frown. Lei Laohu thought to himself that the smell on this kid was stronger than that of a soldier returning from the battlefield.
Lu Shiyan walked in so arrogantly, his military boots making a dull "dong dong" sound on the floor, without even raising his eyelids, as if he was walking into his own backyard.
Lei Lao Hu stood in front of the huge sand table with his hands behind his back like an old general, staring at the sand table with his hawk-like eyes without blinking.
On the sand table, at the location of the cannery in Area B, a big X was drawn with glaring red paint!
Pan Yong stood next to Lei Lao Hu, his mind racing. No matter how you look at it, tonight's incident was Lu Shiyan showing his loyalty to Lei Lao Hu, but the weight of this loyalty was so heavy that it was frightening.
Lei Lao Hu turned around slowly, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Mr. Lu, I received your sincerity!"
He placed extra emphasis on the word "sincerely". In his heart, he was wondering whether this guy was really willing to surrender or had other intentions.
Lu Shiyan brushed off the dust on his sleeves and said, "Scorpion's arsenal is gone."
He said it lightly, as if he had just stepped on an ant to death.
"I know."
Lei Lao Hu drew out his voice, walked step by step to the back of the mahogany desk that could be used as a bed, and sat down in the large leather chair.
He pointed to the chair opposite him and raised his chin slightly: "Sit down."
Lu Shiyan sat down slowly with his back straight. His calmness made Lei Laohu more and more satisfied.
"My people reported that the cannery was flattened."
"Of the hundreds of people under Scorpion's command, not even a bone was left."
Lei Lao Hu paused, narrowed his eyes, and felt both excited and apprehensive: "On the scene..."
“It’s really clean.”
When several of Lei Lao Hu's confidants standing nearby heard the word "clean", they shuddered in unison and the hair on their backs stood up!
This Lu Shiyan, not only wiped out the people, but also crushed their bones and scattered their ashes? This method is three times more cruel than those old-timers like them.
Lu Shiyan didn't even blink, just stared back. Lei Lao Hu was testing his bottom line and methods.
“Riesling is lifted.”
He said slowly, "It's just sweeping up a few piles of garbage that are not being used. It's not a big deal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Yong was shocked. This kid was so brave that he dared to say such things in front of Lei Lao Hu.
"Rubbish?"
Lei Lao Hu raised his eyebrows suddenly and let out a meaningful "haha" from his throat. The laughter made Pan Yong's scalp numb.
"Boy, you call those Scorpion guys trash?"
"Do you think that if you pull out a few of its teeth and chop off a few of its claws, the scorpion will be finished?"
Lei Lao Hu's voice suddenly rose, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes!
"He has deep roots in this B area! Which of the desperate criminals under his command doesn't live on the edge of a knife? There are also some tough guys whose details I can't even figure out!"
Lei Lao Hu's face darkened, and he slapped his palm on the table. "The whole base knows about your commotion! It's too noisy!"
"The scorpion has been injured, that's right! But it's still too early to completely wipe him out of this place!"
Pan Yong was listening on the side. The commander was right. The Scorpion gang was not something that could be uprooted just by saying so. He began to worry about Lu Shiyan.
"So, Mr. Lu," Lei Lao Hu leaned forward suddenly, his eyes fixed on Lu Shiyan like searchlights, "If I promote you now, let you sit in a higher position, and give you more power, have you ever thought about what will follow this?"
His voice was full of oppression, but in his heart he was secretly observing Lu Shiyan's reaction: "Can you afford the consequences?!"
Pan Yong and several other close confidants were so nervous that their hearts were in their throats. The commander was trying to warn Lu Shiyan! He was also testing him! To see if he had been carried away by the victory!
Hearing this, Lu Shiyan's lips curled up slightly, his smile was as light as the morning mist, but as sharp as a sword out of its sheath. But there was no ripple in his heart, Lei Laohu's words were just a prelude to the upcoming promotion.
"as a result of?"
He uttered two words softly, his tone as calm as if he was talking about what to eat for dinner.
Lu Shiyan smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth: "What am I afraid of?"
"With a wise and powerful leader like you, Lei Lingling, in charge, what evil spirits dare to come out and make trouble? Even if you give them ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to do so!"
He paused, his eyes suddenly became sharp, looking directly into Lei Lao Hu's eyes, and spoke word by word with great force: "Besides, I, Lu Shiyan, have never fought alone."
"Don't I have you, Riesling, backing me up?"
Pan Yong was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Lu Shiyan with eyes full of amazement and admiration, thinking: What a good thing to say! Well said! He flatters without revealing anything, and he also ties his own interests to the commander's!
Lei Lao Hu was stunned for a moment, and then, his serious face seemed to melt away, and he laughed out loud with his head raised! The doubts in his heart were completely dispelled. This kid is a character who can accomplish great things.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
The laughter was so powerful and rough that it made the teacup lids on the table in the headquarters buzz, and it brought an indescribable sense of satisfaction!
"Good! What a great 'I have Riesling to protect'!"
Pan Yong's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and appreciation: "Lu Shiyan, you really didn't make me wrong!"
Lei Lao Hu walked up to Lu Shiyan with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and slapped his shoulders twice with his palms, "Pa! Pa!", making Lu Shiyan motionless.
"From now on, you, Lu Shiyan, will be my Lei Lao Hu's right-hand man! On the same level as Pan Yong!"
Lei Lao Hu's voice was as loud as a bell, and every word sounded like a thunder in everyone's ears! Several confidants present took a breath of cold air, and were shocked.
"You have full authority over all matters in Area A! You don't have to report to anyone!"
"You can enter and exit the core area of the base, including the central data room that stores all the important information of the base, freely. No one dares to stop you! If you need to use my private places in the future, you can apply directly to me."
Pan Yong's eyes flashed with a complex expression, but more of it was relief and admiration. There was no one else in the base who trusted him except Pan Yong! To be valued so much by the commander, he must have something extraordinary.
He took a step forward and solemnly extended his hand to Lu Shiyan: "Mr. Lu, no, Brother Lu! Welcome to join us! It is a blessing for all of us to have a talented and brave general like you in the base!"
His words came from the bottom of his heart. The ability, courage and calmness shown by Lu Shiyan completely won his recognition and admiration.
Lu Shiyan stretched out his hand and shook Pan Yong's hand, which was a little sweaty due to nervousness, vigorously. His eyes were as deep as an ancient well. In his mind, he was thinking about the next action plan.
Done.
Everything was basically within his expectations, and even went a little smoother than expected. The authority given by Lei Lao Hu was more thorough than he expected.
He, Lu Shiyan, finally stepped firmly into Lei Lao Hu's core circle.
