Chapter 201 Rivals Meet, Eyes Filled with Hatred
Xiao Huaifeng got back to the point and decisively extended an invitation to Lin Muyan.
"Lin girl, S City is currently a key development zone for the post-apocalyptic world, and it desperately needs awakened individuals like you. I wonder if you would be willing to join us?"
"Don't rush to give me an answer. Go back and think about it for a few days. We will have Xiao Li convey the terms we can offer to you. We hope you will consider them carefully."
Xiao Huaifeng said a few more words, then led the main force back home.
The newly appointed commander-in-chief is busy with official duties and has also discovered the unusual features of the sea surface at this port. He will probably be attending all sorts of meetings until he is sick of them, so naturally he will not have much personal time.
After his grandfather passed away, Xiao Li said somewhat awkwardly to Lin Muyan:
"I'm sorry, my grandfather likes to make a little joke sometimes, so you don't need to take some of his words too seriously."
Lin Muyan responded with a smile, and seeing that Yin Feng wasn't beside him, she asked curiously:
"What about your Silverwind? How has it been lately? Has it shown any unusual behavior?"
Lin Muyan was just asking casually, trying to change the subject, but Xiao Li secretly sighed in his heart, thinking how kind she was. Not only did she give him such a rare controllable mutated beast, but she also provided after-sales service.
So Xiao Li told Lin Muyan everything about his interactions with Yin Feng over the past few days, and all the details he had observed.
"You mean, its senses are so sharp that it can detect in advance who is about to mutate?"
Xiao Li nodded in response: "Yes, once it suddenly became agitated and kept growling at a private. It is usually very well-behaved, but this time it was very unusual, so I kept an eye on it."
"As a result, the private turned into a zombie in less than three hours."
"On two other occasions, Silverwind followed behind the two privates, sniffing around, but he didn't growl. He just kept staring at them, then turned to look at me, as if he wanted to convey some message to me."
"So I kept an eye on them, and soon those two awakened their superpowers one after the other."
Lin Muyan pondered for a moment upon hearing this.
"Mutations may release a special aura, which may be sensed by awakened beings and mutated beasts with keen perception. It seems that your Silver Wind will be very useful. Take good care of it."
"..."
Xiao Li personally escorted Lin Muyan back to the villa halfway up the mountain. It was dinnertime, and Lin's parents warmly invited her to stay. Lin Muyan accepted.
"Why don't you stay for a meal and try my mom's cooking?"
Xiao Li was naturally pleased and agreed, letting the others return to the unit first while he stayed for dinner.
The two followed Mr. and Mrs. Lin into the courtyard, and were led towards the dining room and living room, where the aroma of food wafted over.
Suddenly, Lin's mother cried out in pain, slapping her thigh as if she wanted to say something, but it was too late.
At the dinner table, Fu Sinian looked up and saw Lin Muyan walking side by side with the young colonel, and his face immediately darkened.
Lin's mother and father exchanged a glance, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
I almost forgot there was a young man inside who came to freeload a meal; he clearly liked his daughter.
The young colonel here also looks quite handsome and seems to have some interest in their daughter.
The two of them just bumped into each other like that, wasn't that awkward?
Fu Sinian's sharp gaze seemed to want to pierce through Xiao Li's entire body.
Xiao Li finally noticed Fu Sinian's presence. He could tell at a glance that the other party came from a good family, and his appearance was no less than his own. Moreover, he was invited in by Lin's parents as a guest, so their relationship must be quite good.
Their eyes met in the air, a hint of tension emanating from them.
Wow, rivals meeting in love are bound to be furious!
If I had two men fighting over me, my life would be worthwhile.
[Upstairs, your life has been a bit too bland. You should have at least ten!]
[Quiet down, everyone. Lin Muyan clearly has no ideas. Look at her calm demeanor; all she sees is the desire for the food on the table. You brat, you don't know the value of simple things. Don't give it to me.]
[Lin Muyan: What attracts me more than delicious food than handsome men?]
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Neither of the two most handsome men in the room seemed inclined to greet the other. Finally, as if they had reached some kind of agreement, they both turned their gazes toward Lin Muyan.
Lin Xiaonuan covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, glancing between Fu Sinian and Xiao Li who had just entered, while nudging Lin Xiao beside her with her little hand.
"Brother, do they all like Sister? Who do you think Sister likes more?"
Lin Xiaonuan felt that she would support either of them, as they could both become her future brother-in-law, and she couldn't afford to offend either of them!
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly showed a strange expression. For some reason, when Xiao Nuan asked him this question, the first thought that popped into his mind was: Only children make choices; adults want both!
But realizing how outrageous the idea was, he quickly shook his head to avoid thinking about it in a negative way again.
Although both of them seemed quite outstanding, he couldn't interfere in his sister's marriage.
Besides, judging from the younger sister's appearance, she probably doesn't have those girlish thoughts at this stage, right?
At the beginning of the apocalypse, everything is still unknown, so how can one have the mind to care about personal matters?
Regardless of the circumstances, he supports his sister; both of them seem much better than Rong Muchen.
The thought of that slut sent a chill down Lin Xiao's spine. He quickly composed himself and stepped forward to greet the guests on behalf of his parents.
"Come on, everyone, stop standing there and let's eat."
As Lin Xiao spoke, he gave Lin Xiaonuan a wink, and Lin Xiaonuan immediately started shouting.
"Oh dear, I'm so hungry, can we eat first?"
"Sis, please have your friends sit down. I'll go get you some drinks. By the way, do your two brothers want to drink?"
Lin Xiaonuan, despite her young age, is quite precocious; she has already gone to the freezer to select alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin then realized what was happening and hurriedly invited them to sit down, bringing out the dishes that hadn't all been served.
In no time, the dining table was filled with a sumptuous spread of delicious food.
Lin Muyan politely said to Xiao Li:
"Colonel Xiao, please have a seat. It's just a simple meal, don't be too formal."
After saying that, she turned to Lin Xiaonuan and said:
"Xiao Nuan, just get a few bottles of different flavored juice for your sister. They all have to drive, so we won't give them any alcohol."
The family, along with the two outsiders, finally sat down at the dinner table in an orderly fashion, and Lin Muyan naturally became the first to pick up her chopsticks.
Even if she were slow to notice, she would have sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere by now.
It wouldn't do for no one to start eating, so she had to be the one to begin.
Seeing her pick up her chopsticks, everyone else started eating as well.
Fu Ssu-nien's family had a considerable amount of food in stock, so this meal didn't tempt him.
But Xiao Li was different. Whether he was training or on a mission, he ate very simply, sometimes just water mixed with compressed biscuits.
Seeing this table full of dishes, my mouth watered instantly.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
After a hearty meal and drinks, some people started to stir up trouble.
Fu Sinian glanced at Xiao Li, then suddenly said to Lin Muyan:
"Yan Yan, I feel like I'm about to awaken my superpower, but I lack experience. Can I stay at your place for the next few days?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table turned to look at him...
