"We apologize for bothering you these past few days, Miss Su. As per your request, the renovations are complete, and we are heading back to base today to report for duty."
"As for the 200,000 we owe, if Miss Su doesn't mind, you can come with us to the Noah Base."
Why should we believe you?
"When have humans ever kept their word?" Zhao Cai and Gourmet Zi, who were standing on either side of Su Luo as his protectors, immediately stood up after hearing Lin Shuyu's words, expressing their utter disagreement.
"Boss (sister), don't believe these people. They're full of lies, and people's hearts are unpredictable."
Lin Shu-yu: What exactly are we humans in your bizarre eyes? Shouldn't you be the more terrifying and frightening ones?
After living together for the past few days, Lin Shuyu has gained a general understanding of the situation.
At Su Luo's behest, the Gourmet and Fortune only told outsiders that they were only willing to stay in the cabin because of the free food and lodging, and that they were also helping Su Luo defend against other strange creatures, which was a win-win situation. They did not tell them about the contract.
Lin Shu-yu expressed her understanding of this.
The conditions in this little house are too good. If it were him, he would also be willing to stay here. However, Lin Shuyu did not ask any further questions. After all, that was Miss Su's secret. In this apocalypse, everyone has their own way of surviving.
Even though the place was very tempting, Lin Shuyu still had no intention of revealing Su Luo's survival methods to the public.
Seemingly to reassure the two one-star monsters, Lin Shuyu raised her hand and made a vow gesture, speaking sincerely and earnestly.
"I promise, as long as I live, Su Luo will be fine!"
The implication is that anyone at Noah Base who wants to harm Su Luo will have to step over his dead body first.
"alright."
"It's just going to get some money." Su Luo made herself a cup of milk tea and added some tapioca pearls. "I trust Captain Lin's character."
"Besides, it's only right to pay back debts. I'm not going to steal, so there's nothing to worry about."
Worry?
Hehe, given the current situation, it's your Noah Base that should be worried. If you really anger her, the things in her arsenal are no joke. They might not be good for dealing with monsters, but they can certainly take down a base.
Lin Shuyu was unaware of these things, and simply assumed that Su Luo trusted him, which made him feel even more favorably toward Su Luo.
After finishing their meal, the food critic reluctantly packed up the dishes he had prepared, vacuum-sealing them, worried that his master might have suffered some mistreatment while away from home. He demanded perfection in everything, and since there were seven grown men, what was wrong with carrying some things for the eldest? Free tools, might as well use them.
Seeing the package that was almost used to move the small house over, Su Luo took advantage of the food critic going back to the house to get something and quickly called Lin Shuyu and the others to get on the bus and set off!
As the terminus was rewritten, the two buses creaked and groaned as they took the group to the nearest abandoned bus stop to Noah's Base.
After getting off the car, Lin Shuyu gave her teammates a few special instructions.
"Once we get back to base, I know in my heart what I should and shouldn't say."
"Miss Su kindly helped us, we can't cause her any trouble."
"Don't worry, Captain, we would have done it even if you hadn't said anything." Zhang Miaomiao nodded honestly. In the past few days, he had gone from initially disliking and fearing the strange creatures to accepting and getting along with them. Besides, the food at Sister Su's house was good, and he would not let Sister Su be in danger for any reason.
After all, humans are still extremely afraid of strange creatures. If outsiders knew that someone like Sister Su existed, there would definitely be danger.
We walked along the path for another hour or so until we passed a small grove of bushes, and a castle base surrounded by high walls, like something out of a post-apocalyptic movie, came into view.
The closer you get to Noah's base, the more diverse the figures you see, including people wearing the same search and rescue team uniform as Lin Shuyu. They are likely survivors rescued from the vicinity and are now queuing up for inspection, waiting to enter the base.
"There are too many people here, let's go to another passage."
Lin Shuyu glanced at the main gate, then turned and led Su Luo around to the other side gate, a fast passage specifically for special personnel of the base.
"Name?
"Lin Shuyu".
“Lin… Captain Lin?!” Upon hearing this name, the soldier recording the events suddenly raised his head, stood up, and saluted Lin Shuyu. “Captain Lin, you’re finally back.”
"Those above have been so worried these past few days. It's so good that you're back, so good that you're back."
"And who is this?" The gaze shifted back, landing on Su Luo.
What a beautiful young lady! Could this be Wu the richest man's niece?
"Let me introduce you, this is Su Luo."
"When the search and rescue team was in danger, she saved us."
"Oh? Oh. Please, please come in."
So she's not Wu the richest man's niece. Look at their group coming back, there's only one unfamiliar face. The mission wasn't completed.
Watching Captain Lin's departing figure, the soldier thought of the current state of the conference room, shook his head, and continued to sit down to record the personnel entering and leaving the base.
"I didn't realize you had such a lot of influence."
In his previous life, Su Luo had never stayed in a large base, and his understanding of Lin Shuyu was limited to his achievements outside. Judging from the appearance of the soldiers who had just entered, Lin Shuyu's position in the base was probably not low.
This "not low" doesn't refer to his personal ability, but rather to the power and influence of the family he represents. Having experienced this firsthand as the daughter of the Su family, she understood it perfectly.
"That's right." Speaking of her captain, Zhang Miaomiao raised her head with a hint of excitement. "The captain's family is the heir of the Lin family, one of the three base directors. How could they not have a lot of influence?"
I see.
I never expected Lin Shuyu to have such a powerful background.
The three base commanders, it seems, were planning this out of fear that one of them would become too powerful, so they wanted to check and balance each other to achieve balanced development... No wonder, no wonder Lin Shuyu in his previous life ended up like that.
In this power struggle among the three factions, Lin Shuyu was merely the sacrificial lamb.
In the later stages of the bizarre apocalypse, a nine-star high-ranking military officer is someone who can crush a base commander. A base commander with no ability wouldn't dare to point fingers at those high-star military officers.
Therefore, for anyone outside the Lin family who wants to gain real power in the Noah Base, Lin Shuyu is an obstacle!
hehe.
It's laughable that at that point, the people at the top of the base were thinking about how to seize power.
Out of respect for Lin Shuyu's indirect protection of them in the previous life, Su Luo could give them a way out in this life.
"It's a lot of face, but this base is just so-so, not as good as my little house."
“If you can’t make it in the base, you can come to the cabin to find me.” At this point, Su Luo paused and emphasized, “I’m talking about you.”
The implication was that only the seven of them were allowed to come; anyone else trying to take advantage of the situation should face her harsh treatment.
Zhang Miaomiao was speechless upon hearing this, unable to refute it.
Indeed, given the current conditions of the base, it is naturally incomparable to Sister Su's little house, and it will not be incomparable in the future either.
