Chapter 229 Arriving in Beijing, I'll teach her a lesson.
Suppressed laughter rose and fell from the corner, and Huang Zhen's face turned red with anger, a mixture of shame and indignation.
Knowing he couldn't out-argue Lin Muyan, Huang Zhen simply brought up the mission.
"We are all top-tier combat personnel, why should we escort someone with connections?"
He wanted to incite public anger, to make everyone think that Lin Muyan was someone with connections, and that they, as pillars of society, had to make a special trip to escort such an insignificant person.
However, Xiao Li's Hidden Dragon Team already knew Lin Muyan well and only respected her, not thinking that she was someone with connections.
Huang Zhen's own Chifeng squad mostly didn't care about the mission details; they just wanted to complete the mission and get the rewards.
Many people believe that such missions have a low risk factor, and they would love to have more of these escort missions, as it is better than having to fight zombies and mutated beasts.
So when Huang Zhen finished speaking, all that followed was collective silence.
Lin Muyan chuckled lightly, too lazy to pay any attention to this person.
She nodded to Xiao Li, "Let's go. Let's check out a few more places. Your grandfather should have told you what this mission is about, right?"
Xiao Li nodded solemnly. His grandfather had given him instructions, and since it involved such an important matter as the Doomsday Fortress, he would naturally take it seriously.
As for the others, they actually had no idea what the specific tasks entailed.
The team leader in charge of this mission was Xiao Li; Huang Zhen was just passing by to complete other tasks.
Once on the plane, Xiao Li and Lin Muyan rode together, while Huang Zhen took another helicopter.
When Xiao Li thought about Huang Zhen's attitude towards Lin Muyan, he felt that the man was courting death.
"Don't worry about Huang Zhen. He's petty and his target is me. He's only targeting you because you're close to me."
Lin Muyan smiled but didn't say anything. He was just a clown; she didn't care about him.
"By the way, Huang Zhen's mission this time is to transport a small amount of the extract from the vial of medicine you gave me to the central laboratory in Beijing."
Lin Muyan nodded; she didn't care what that person was going to do.
Xiao Li replied:
"That Shen Jiaojiao eventually joined Huang Zhen's Chifeng team, and she's on this mission too."
"Considering the preciousness of the items being transported, Huang Zhen took the initiative to suggest that Shen Jiaojiao, who is a spatial awakener, also participate. He felt that the personal spaces of other awakeners were definitely not as advanced as Shen Jiaojiao's."
Lin Muyan: ?
"Who told him that? That's utter nonsense."
Xiao Li also sneered, "Perhaps it's just Shen Jiaojiao praising herself. She said that Huang Zhen values her highly and believes that her special ability will play a great role in the future."
Lin Muyan chuckled, then changed the subject:
"Ignore her and tell me your grandfather's advice. Does he, or the higher-ups, have any suggestions regarding the site selection?"
“Beijing has now been established as a special zone, and its military base is larger than that of the S Special Zone. My grandfather’s suggestion is that you build the Doomsday Fortress in the Beijing Special Zone.”
Xiao Li stared intently at Lin Muyan. Lin Muyan's brow twitched, and she smiled, saying:
"I will relay this to the Lord of Doomsday Fortress. Where should we go now?"
Xiao Li's brow twitched slightly as he took out a map and pointed to several places.
"The Beijing Special Economic Zone will be our last stop. Let's visit these places first."
In Xiao Li's understanding, the ideal location for the Doomsday Fortress would be a city with a large population and few mutated beasts.
Lin Muyan was too lazy to think, she already had a plan in mind, but she still went with the team to inspect those places.
Remote areas were ruled out first, and they went to several popular cities that were far from S City, spending two days there.
Huang Zhen was very unhappy that he would have to spend the night in a tent on the helipad again.
These past two days, they've been either hovering in the air or going to a few open spaces, like tourists taking photos, glancing around a bit before moving on, without doing anything.
Huang Zhen thought this was a complete waste of time.
He has an important mission, how can he spend his time wandering around with that nepotism acquaintance?
Inside the tent where the Chifeng team was located, Huang Zhen gritted his teeth.
"This Lin Muyan is so arrogant! She doesn't take us seriously at all. We've been spending the last two days traveling with her. What kind of nonsense is this?!"
Shen Jiaojiao clenched her fist secretly, gritted her teeth, and said:
"She really went too far, but what can you do when she's the Fire Girl?"
At this point, Shen Jiaojiao became angry.
The fact that Lin Muyan is the Fire Girl has already spread throughout the military.
Everyone believes that she was the first person to awaken her superpowers, and she was also the first to broadcast the news about the mutation awakening, so people admire her.
But in her opinion, this was not worth mentioning at all.
So what if someone awakens their superpower first? It doesn't mean that whoever awakens it first is the strongest.
Moreover, in recent days, a few other people have also awakened fire-type abilities, which shows that fire-type abilities are not rare. What is there for her to be so proud of?
Shen Jiaojiao felt that Lin Muyan's superpowers were no match for hers.
So far, she hasn't heard of anyone else who has awakened spatial abilities like her.
Moreover, after she joined the Chifeng Squad and obtained more crystal cores, the space underwent a qualitative leap.
If Lin Muyan knew, she would be so envious!
Seeing Colonel Huang's indignation, Shen Jiaojiao quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Captain, haven't you noticed yet? Lin Muyan seems innocent on the surface, but she's actually quite cunning. She's using her pretty face to bewitch Colonel Xiao."
"Colonel Xiao is young and hot-blooded, and probably hasn't been in a relationship much. He's no match for someone like Lin Muyan. He was instantly captivated."
"All she has to do is act cute with Colonel Xiao, and he can use his position to take her sightseeing. The worst part is that it delays our mission. It's really too much."
Huang Zhen thought it made a lot of sense.
He had been secretly observing Xiao Li and Lin Muyan these past few days and noticed that the way Xiao Li looked at Lin Muyan was very different. Just as Shen Jiaojiao had said, his soul had been bewitched.
"Hmph, he's still too young, and he's too arrogant because he has the old man protecting him. He's too lawless. At a time like this, he's only thinking about romance."
"Once I get to Beijing, I must report this situation to the General Staff Headquarters. The General Staff Headquarters has more say than his father. Now that Xiao Huaifeng is in charge of the S Special Zone, there will inevitably be competition between the various special zones in the future."
"Once we get to the capital, Xiao Li's status as the military's heir won't be of much use. We must teach them a lesson!"
Seeing that her words had worked, Shen Jiaojiao felt smug.
Although Huang Zhen was dispatched to Special Zone S, he was originally from Beijing and held a certain position in the Beijing Military Region.
Let's see how arrogant Lin Muyan is when we go to Beijing tomorrow!
