Chapter 159 Xiao Li invites Lin Muyan to go on an exploration mission together.
Shen Jiaojiao fainted and was carried back to the Rong family by Rong Muchen.
Lin Xiao told Lin Muyan about this after watching the surveillance footage, and Lin Muyan showed no change in expression.
Shen Jiaojiao and Rong Muchen have probably broken up. Now that she's in his hands, Shen Jiaojiao is in for a lot of trouble.
However, she wouldn't be kind enough to help Shen Jiaojiao out of that predicament. Those two are birds of a feather, and they look quite compatible; they should be locked up together.
The comments section also seemed to agree that Shen Jiaojiao was doomed.
Rong Muchen seems to be a ruthless person, and also quite flexible. Even after all this, he still dared to shamelessly come to Lin Muyan begging for reconciliation. Even after being splashed with foul water, he didn't lose his temper on the spot, which shows he has a certain amount of patience.
[Men like this are the most terrifying. If Shen Jiaojiao doesn't go along with him, she'll likely suffer. It all depends on how Rong Muchen plans to treat her.]
[Not necessarily. They're the official couple, and maybe they'll end up together. That would be great; I think they're a perfect match.]
Nowadays, no one in the bullet comments sympathizes with Shen Jiaojiao anymore.
Her series of questionable actions have long since broken the hearts of her former fans, who have long since turned against her.
Lin Muyan put the matter of Shen Jiaojiao and Rong Muchen out of her mind and said to her older brother:
"Go to the gym and feel the changes in your physical strength, get used to it. I plan to go out for a walk tomorrow, and I should wait until the flood comes before I come back."
When the flood came, Lin Muyan didn't dare to go out rashly, but took advantage of the extremely hot weather these past few days to go out for a stroll.
With the protection of a safe house at home, and her older brother Lin Xiao having undergone physical enhancements, his combat strength should be quite good, so she wasn't worried about things at home.
Lin Xiao looked worried upon hearing this.
"Flood? We need to make preparations quickly and take precautions against flooding at home."
Lin Muyan shook her head upon hearing this: "No need. The terrain here is high, so it won't affect us. We can just stay in the safe house. While I'm away, I'll leave everything at home in your care, brother."
Although she could remotely control everything in the safe house, she felt more at ease having someone else keep an eye on things for her.
Lin Xiao nodded emphatically, a reliable expression on his handsome face.
"Don't worry, little sister, I'll take care of everything at home. You need to take good care of yourself while you're out there, and contact home immediately if anything happens."
After seeing Lin Xiao off, Lin Muyan went to the underground warehouse to check the inventory, carefully took out a small amount of supplies from her spatial storage to replenish them, and then returned to her room.
The golden shovel had collected some attribute-less crystal cores while digging for treasure, and it was time to absorb them all before heading out.
While Lin Muyan was busy improving her strength, Shen Jiaojiao was carried back to the Rong family and locked in her room by Rong Muchen.
The Rong family matriarch was unaware that Shen Jiaojiao had awakened her supernatural abilities. She only thought that her eldest grandson had lost his mind and was being bewitched by this Shen woman, which was why he was resorting to house arrest.
"Mu Chen, are you really hungry? What time is it? You brought a burden back with you. More people mean more mouths to feed, and we don't have any extra food for her."
Old Mrs. Rong used to look down on Lin Muyan, so she would never give Shen Jiaojiao a good look.
Everyone in the Rong family disapproved of Rong Muchen's actions, thinking he had lost his mind, still thinking about love and romance in the apocalypse, and bringing a woman home.
Rong Muchen offered no explanation and locked himself and Shen Jiaojiao in the room.
Shen Jiaojiao quickly woke up and the first thing she saw was Rong Muchen staring at her with a gloomy face. She was terrified and quickly shrank back, covering her chest, looking like a chaste and virtuous woman who was determined to die.
Rong Muchen sneered disdainfully.
"What are you trying to hide? With your skinny figure, nobody would want you."
Shen Jiaojiao was so angry after being mocked that she exploded.
"Rong Muchen, do you have to talk to me like that? I haven't even settled the score with you for what you said to Lin Muyan yet. You're no good either!"
The two were exchanging insults back and forth. If Lin Muyan could see this, she would definitely grab a small stool and start munching on a pound of sunflower seeds.
The two men argued until their throats were dry, and the ice in the corner melted a little faster as a result.
After she had finished cursing, Shen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and said:
"Why did you bring me back to your house? I want to go back to my own house."
Rong Muchen naturally refused to let her leave. He couldn't do anything to Lin Muyan now, but he could still threaten Shen Jiaojiao.
Knowing that she was highly likely to have connections with the military, they were even less likely to let her leave, unless...
"Promise me one thing, and I'll let you go."
"..."
Just one day later, the authorities indeed issued a notice about the possibility of flooding and began preparations in various places.
Where conditions permit, everyone should work together to find ways to relocate the population.
In remote or underdeveloped areas, people can only fend for themselves.
On the third day, Lin Muyan received a message from Xiao Li.
Xiao Li sounded very anxious over the communicator.
"Miss Lin, I've received an investigation mission. There seem to be quite a few mutated creatures appearing in Jiugang City, and it also seems to involve vegetation mutations. I have to leave immediately. Would you like to come along if it's convenient for you?"
Xiao Li didn't have much hope. Jiugang City was far away from S City, and he hadn't reported on Miss Lin's situation, so he couldn't ask for credit or rewards for her.
He could tell that Miss Lin didn't seem to really want to join the military, perhaps because the military had many strict rules, which to some extent meant a loss of freedom, and she didn't like that.
Therefore, he did not take it upon himself to report that he had already established a preliminary relationship with Miss Lin.
Xiao Li thought that Miss Lin would definitely refuse his invitation, but to his surprise, Lin Muyan replied to the message very quickly.
She went there, and coincidentally, she had two coordinate locators, one of which was located in Jiugang City.
Recently, Ah Bao has been feeling sleepy and is currently focusing on absorbing and refining the fire crystal mother core. She lacks a means of transportation.
Cooperating with Xiao Li can save us trouble on the journey.
The two decided to depart tonight. Xiao Li wanted to pick up Lin Muyan in person, but she refused and told him to stop at a certain place along the way, where she would wait.
As night fell, there was no wind, and the temperature remained a high of 60 or 70 degrees Celsius.
There were a total of five modified military off-road vehicles for the march, but Xiao Li's soldiers took more than half of them, so there was no off-road vehicle for Lin Muyan to ride in alone.
Xiao Li looked somewhat embarrassed at Lin Muyan, who was still wearing a mask, and slowly spoke:
"I'm sorry, Miss Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you to squeeze into a car with me."
The carriages have insulation and are filled with ice, so the temperature isn't hot.
Lin Muyan didn't care and sat upright in her seat, keeping a distance from Xiao Li.
Xiao Li looked at her mask and found it somewhat amusing.
This Miss Lin is really interesting. Since we're going to see her face anyway, there's no point in covering it up now.
Moreover, he had already decided not to investigate her identity, and if he wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with her, he couldn't do anything that would make her uncomfortable.
Lin Muyan is now covering her face, which clearly means she still wants to conceal her identity. Of course, he knows he should avoid prying into her privacy.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Li began to talk about the situation in Jiugang City, trying to get the conversation flowing.
Lin Muyan suddenly thought of something and asked:
"You've met Shen Jiaojiao from the Shen family, haven't you? Why didn't you try to recruit her?"
