Hope City.

Ji Yuetong was handling business at the City Lord's Mansion.

“The current fifth captain, Li Jing, challenged me and was killed by me. I will take his place, and his house and everything else will belong to me.”

After Zhang Lin returned, she called him and they went to the city lord's mansion.

Since Li Jing has been killed, he cannot be killed in vain.

According to the city lord's rules, if Li Jing is killed by Ji Yuetong, then everything he owns will belong to Ji Yuetong.

Although Li Jing was killed by An Qingwu, the women in the family were all family, so it didn't matter who replaced Li Jing. Therefore, the most experienced Ji Yuetong was chosen.

The reason she called Zhang Lin along was because she was afraid that someone would challenge her after she took over Li Jing's position. With Zhang Lin, a notoriously ruthless person in Hope City, around, she felt safe to come out.

"The Fifth Captain is challenging you?" Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion was taken aback.

Ji Yuetong has no status or property. The house that originally belonged to her is now registered under Zhang Lin's name. Li Jing, bored out of his mind, will challenge her.

"What, you have a problem with that?"

Zhang Lin stepped forward at the opportune moment and asked with an unfriendly expression.

In fact, according to the city lord's rules, Li Jing was killed in retaliation for trespassing, which does not count as a challenge. In this case, everything he owns will be taken back by the city lord.

But Li Jing is already dead, and the dead cannot speak. Whether he was killed for challenging someone or for trespassing, it all depends on Ji Yuetong's words.

If Zhang Lin hadn't been there, the people from the City Lord's Mansion might have used the excuse that Ji Yuetong had no evidence to refuse her inheritance of Li Jing's things.

But now...

Upon seeing Zhang Lin's unfriendly gaze, the staff member immediately shrank back, saying, "No...no objection..."

How could he dare say anything?

To date, none of those who have offended Zhang Lin have survived.

Moreover, he was someone the city lord held in high regard.

In the city lord's heart, he was second only to the first captain.

But the First Captain was the city lord's absolute confidante. In every cycle, her position as the First Captain was very secure, and no one dared to challenge her.

Before Zhang Lin, only the first captain had enjoyed this level of treatment.

Therefore, Zhang Lin's position in the city lord's heart is self-evident.

The staff member felt more at ease after thinking it over, and his mindset instantly calmed down. He smiled and said, "Captain Zhang, you've spoken, how could we not believe you? Please wait a moment, we'll process the paperwork for Captain Ji right away!"

Well, Ji Yuetong hasn't even taken her place yet, and the staff have already called her the team leader.

Moments later, Ji Yuetong's identity changed.

Once the new era begins and the city guard is established, she will be the sixth most important person in Hope City.

On the way back, Ji Yuetong lamented the unpredictability of life.

An old loser has actually turned his life around!

"Come to my place tonight, I'll thank you properly!" When they got home, Ji Yuetong said to Zhang Lin with a flirtatious look in her eyes and a flushed face as they stood at the door.

"I'm not going!" Zhang Lin refused with an upright expression. "I'm going to keep Qingge company today. You can wait until tomorrow."

Ji Yuetong was almost furious. This man was so unromantic. "It's just today. It'll be different if you come tomorrow."

"What's different?" Zhang Lin asked.

"Service!" she said confidently to Zhang Lin. "Whether you come or not, you come today, and we'll do whatever you want!"

Zhang Lin looked at her small, pink lips and was slightly tempted. He softened his tone and said, "Be good, postpone it until tomorrow."

Ji Yuetong sulked and didn't say anything.

Zhang Lin chuckled; he knew she had already agreed.

As a man of principle, one must treat everyone equally, one person per day, and no one is allowed to break the rules. If one really doesn't want to wait, then one can choose to go together, and Zhang Lin has absolutely no objection.

Back home, Zhang Lin called everyone together and explained his plan: "We've exchanged all our contribution points for food, and they're all here with me. In the next few days, we'll prepare for the zombie siege. If we can fight back, we'll repel the zombie army; if not, you'll all be ready to come with me."

Everyone agrees with Zhang Lin's choice.

Even Ji Yuetong, a long-time resident of Hope City, would not choose to risk her life for Hope City. Others can only stay in Hope City because they cannot leave, but they have Zhang Lin, and they have a way out.

"I just wanted to let you know in advance so you could be prepared. That's all. Xiaoya and Xiaohui, you two go cook." Zhang Lin exuded the air of a family head.

After resting at home for a while and having dinner, Zhang Lin took An Qingge back to the master bedroom on the second floor.

“Zhang Lin, why don’t you go and keep Xiao Wu company? She just started dating you yesterday…” An Qingge said hesitantly.

She certainly hoped that Zhang Lin could sleep next to her at night, but she also cared about her sister's feelings.

“You can each take a day, it’s fair and just!” Zhang Lin said with a righteous expression. “I’ll go see Xiao Wu in a couple of days. If you’re worried about her, just call her over, and we can go together.”

"What...what did you say?" An Qingge's pretty face immediately turned bright red. Calling her younger sister over to join in...what would that look like?!

After Zhang Lin interrupted her like that, she couldn't bring up the matter of asking Zhang Lin to accompany An Qingwu again.

Then, she brought up Mu Xiaoya and Mu Xiaohui, saying, "The zombie siege is too dangerous. Shouldn't you hurry up and take care of the twin sisters?"

After An Qingge finished speaking, a feeling of grievance welled up in her heart.

She actually urged Zhang Lin to go find other women!

However, she had no choice. In the face of crisis, anyone could die. She didn't want Zhang Lin and her sisters to die, so she could only try to improve her strength.

"Well..." Zhang Lin hugged her, feeling her fair and delicate skin, and said helplessly, "The main thing is to make them willing. If they have any resistance, they won't get the reward, and I can't push them too hard."

“Sigh…” An Qingge leaned against Zhang Lin’s chest, feeling helpless. “I’ll talk to them tomorrow.”

"Qingge, you are truly my wonderful wife!" Zhang Lin couldn't help but exclaim.

An Qingge remained silent, somewhat resentful. If there were any other option, who would want to be such a virtuous wife? However, these were the conditions for Zhang Lin to receive the reward, so she had no choice but to help him.

After a while of sweet nothings, Zhang Lin couldn't resist anymore.

An Qingge became pregnant, and Zhang Lin was forced to become much gentler. However, An Qingge was simply too vulnerable to his advances. Even though he became much gentler, it wasn't long before she was completely defeated by his gentle offensive, and all the resentment in her heart vanished.

The next day, Zhang Lin did not leave Hope City, but went to No. 5 to deliver some supplies to Chen Zibo and urge him to recruit people quickly.

When zombies besiege a city, having a few more cannon fodder is always a good thing.
