Chapter 194 Lin Muyan Can't Bear to Hear Others Slander Her
"Are you stupid? Even though you're carrying military orders to convey the Chief of Staff's message to Miss Lin, you still need to pay her a visit, right? Since you're going to visit her and might even meet her family, shouldn't you bring a gift?"
"You come here empty-handed, how can you be so shameless?"
As soon as Lu Zhe finished speaking, the others echoed his words.
"Exactly, Captain, I'm really worried about you. How are you going to win her over like this? Arranged marriages aren't common these days. Are you really going to wait for your family to arrange a marriage for you?"
"Hey, Captain, you're usually a pretty smart guy, so why are you so clueless about this? You don't know how to make girls happy, you always have a long face and never smile. If I were a girl, I wouldn't even look at you."
"..."
Xiao Li's fist was clenched at his side; these were the soldiers he had trained!
"Shut up, all of you. Instead of wasting your time, think carefully about the next training plan."
"There are quite a few awakened individuals in the military now. If you don't want to be outdone, you should think carefully about where you want to go from here."
When this topic came up, everyone on the bus fell silent.
The number of awakened individuals has been increasing, and there are quite a few in the military.
Although no one with particularly powerful superpowers has emerged yet, it is clear that they have been left behind and their future is uncertain.
Of the hundred or so members of the Hidden Dragon Team, fewer than five are Awakened. This probability is indeed much higher than the one in a thousand probability that Fire Girl mentioned during her live stream.
But you have to understand, they are an officially registered special operations force. If there were only a few awakened individuals in the entire team, you can imagine that their Hidden Dragon Team would be eliminated very quickly.
Alternatively, consider this: the Hidden Dragon team will eventually bring in more new Awakened members. After this major overhaul, will the Hidden Dragon team still be the same Hidden Dragon team? The answer is already quite clear.
The captain was reminding them that the team might be forced to disband soon.
The team name "Hidden Dragons" will be replaced by a new team.
Xiao Li was also worried.
Just a few days ago, it was pouring rain, and everyone had to take shelter at home. He was also staying at the Xiao family's house to avoid the flood.
But after the storm passed, when he returned to the military headquarters, he learned that many people had successfully awakened.
Then, my father's appointment came through, and the whole family moved to City S overnight.
He should have been happy, but since he showed no signs of waking up, he couldn't be optimistic.
I even felt guilty towards Lin Muyan.
She gave him the wind-type mutant wolf that she had finally managed to tame, but he was destined to disappoint her.
The car slowly drove into the hillside villa. Even after several natural disasters, the hillside villa still retains its grandeur.
The team members were filled with emotion.
"I never imagined Miss Lin would live in such a luxurious place. Her family background must be quite impressive."
"But I don't think Miss Lin has the temper of a spoiled princess. On the contrary, she is quite down-to-earth and very low-key and humble."
"Our captain comes from a distinguished family. It seems that Miss Lin is a good match for him..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li immediately shouted a stern rebuke.
"Don't talk nonsense! Is it something to be proud of to gossip about a girl behind her back?"
"I don't want to hear any more jokes about Miss Lin. You all need to be serious and stop making such jokes. If I hear it again, get out of the Hidden Dragon Team!"
None of the team members expected their captain to get so angry.
The team members who had been making jokes realized their mistake and quickly bowed their heads in apology.
"Captain, we were wrong. I was being rude. Such private gossip is really unfriendly to a girl. I will never do it again."
"Captain, please don't tell Miss Lin about this. Actually, we all admire and respect her. We were just too carried away in front of you and said all sorts of things. We should be punished."
"..."
Xiao Li glanced at them: "This is the last time."
The car slowly stopped at the place where supplies had been distributed last time. Xiao Li knew that this place was quite close to Shen Jiaojiao.
Finding Shen Jiaojiao will lead to finding Lin Muyan.
Since there's no property management anymore, he could only ask around. It would be better to be more direct and just find that self-important Shen Jiaojiao.
The distinctive features of the military off-road vehicle were so obvious that they quickly attracted the attention of several nearby residents.
The villas on the hillside are still considered safe. No zombies or mutated beasts have been seen. We've only occasionally heard that the vegetation in someone's yard seems to have changed a bit.
At this moment, several thin, pale-faced people, but dressed in fine clothes, walked towards Xiao Li and his group.
"Is this officer here to recruit soldiers? I heard our city is going to become a doomsday zone. I wonder if there are any preferential treatments for families like ours that were originally very wealthy?"
Seeing that Xiao Li didn't speak, Lu Zhe took the initiative to do the talking for him.
"The end times have their own laws. We do not interfere with people's right to free trade. If you can still use money to exchange for resources, then we will naturally not stop you."
Upon hearing this, the men's eyes instantly lost hope.
What a tragedy! What a rich family fortune it once was, now it's worthless overnight.
They certainly know the value of money these days—it's like dirt—but they're unwilling to accept it.
Xiao Li, not wanting to say more, asked:
"Do you know how to get to the Lin family's house? The Lin family is led by Lin Muyan."
Lin Muyan's name is well-known in the hillside villa, so the other party had certainly heard of her.
One of them had a sudden thought and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, did Lin Muyan get into some trouble? I knew that woman was no good. Her family must have a lot of supplies hidden away. During the extreme cold and heat disaster, when everyone wanted to ask her for some food and drink, she wouldn't give them a single penny!"
The other person echoed his sentiments.
"This woman is incredibly selfish. She used to belong to the Shen family, but guess what? She usurped their place, taking the position of someone else's true daughter for twenty years. When the apocalypse came, she just packed up and left, hoarding a lot of supplies. Yet, she didn't send a single thing to the Shen family. All those years of raising her were for nothing."
Several other people knew more reliable information and knew that the situation was not actually as these two people said. However, it was true that Lin Muyan refused to share supplies with them in the first place, so they did not speak up for her at this time.
But they didn't seem to realize that when they attacked Lin Muyan in the owners' group chat, they used all sorts of foul language and harsh words.
If it were them, being cursed and insulted, having their names smeared and gossiped about, and then having to share their precious resources with those who slandered and hurt them, would anyone really be so foolish, loving, and selfless?
Xiao Li naturally couldn't stand others slandering Lin Muyan.
His face was grim, his eyes sharp and cold, and he interrupted them sharply.
"Just tell me how to get to the Lin family's house. Think carefully before you say anything hurtful. Miss Lin can't possibly be what you're saying. You must have done something terrible to her!"
Just by listening, Xiao Li could imagine how much criticism Lin Muyan suffered after leaving the Shen family.
Miss Lin may be kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean she won't do something to punish these gossipers!
