Chapter 178 Unearths a Second Doomsday Fortress
Zhang Shixu hurriedly chased after her, and ran right into Lin Muyan, who was standing in the corner.
A distinct hint of unease flashed across his face; he seemed somewhat guilty and dared not meet Lin Muyan's gaze directly. He slowed his pace and lowered his head, saying:
“Miss Lin, I was chasing you up the mountain but couldn’t catch up. Brother Xiao is looking for you.”
Lin Muyan raised an eyebrow and said:
"After we parted ways, I found a way down the mountain, but I got lost along the way and just got down now."
Zhang Shixu, unsuspecting, glanced quickly at Lin Muyan before lowering his head again, his voice muffled.
"Um, Miss Lin, do you still have the Coke you gave me?"
He felt exhausted, but after drinking two sips of Coke, he was instantly revitalized, so his first thought was that there might be some prohibited substance added to the Coke.
But he later realized that it couldn't possibly be that kind of thing. That cola was extraordinary. He shouldn't have questioned Miss Lin at the time.
I feel guilty now, but I still want to ask for some more of that Coke.
"I can buy from you; you won't lose out."
Zhang Shixu hurriedly added more, still not daring to look directly at Lin Muyan.
Lin Muyan snorted coldly, raised her eyelids and stared at Zhang Shixu with a death stare that made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead despite the sweltering heat. Then she said softly:
"No, do you think that stuff is some cheap, run-of-the-mill sugar water? The two sips you drank would be enough to bankrupt you, let alone money these days. Buy it? What are you going to use to buy it from me?"
Lin Muyan didn't stand on ceremony and held up two fingers to Zhang Shixu.
"I told you, I won't let you drink my stuff for free. Two sips of cola, each sip is worth a thousand crystal cores, regardless of whether the crystal cores are high-grade or low-grade. When the full-scale mutation breaks out later, you'll have to pay me back two thousand crystal cores, understand?"
Zhang Shixu swallowed hard. Two thousand crystal cores? That didn't seem like much. He immediately agreed.
"Miss Lin, please rest assured, I am willing to repay this favor with three thousand crystal cores. I spoke without thinking and upset you, and I want to apologize to you."
With that, Zhang Shixu bowed deeply to Lin Muyan, then wrote an IOU for her, signed it, pressed his fingerprint on it, and solemnly handed it to her.
“Miss Lin, I am a major in the Vanguard Squad. I may be transferred to another squad in the future, but my home is in the Beijing Military Region. You can find it with a little inquiry. I will definitely not renege on my promise.”
Lin Muyan accepted the receipt, and seeing that his attitude was acceptable this time, she didn't argue with him and turned to find Xiao Li.
It's time to go back. In a few days, it will start raining continuously, and when there is a flood, we can only hide in a safe house and wait for the flood to pass.
Before doing that, you can ask Xiao Li for a couple more reminders.
Among these special forces colonels, Xiao Li seemed the most reliable; she didn't plan to have much contact with the others.
Zhang Shixu watched Lin Muyan leave, then turned around and went to find Su Chengan.
Unable to find Lin Muyan, Xiao Li paced anxiously in his makeshift military tent.
When Lin Muyan found him, he instinctively reached out to hug her, but thankfully he stopped himself at the last moment.
"I'm getting ready to go back. What are your plans next, Colonel Xiao?"
Xiao Li initially wanted to ask Lin Muyan if she had encountered any danger or injuries on the mountain, but then he thought about it again. She possessed special abilities and had a contract with the ice-type wolf king; his worries were completely unnecessary. He changed the subject, saying instead:
"We are also preparing to evacuate. We will first return to Beijing. The government will do its best to help people relocate to higher ground for refuge."
"I should return to S City after this flood is over."
Lin Muyan nodded. He knew that Xiao Li had a special identity, and with the flood coming soon, it was impossible for him to still be wandering around outside and endangering his life.
After chatting casually for a few more minutes, as she was leaving, Lin Muyan's gaze fell on the mutated wolf tied up in the corner.
"Once you get back, you can build some trust with it as soon as possible. In my opinion, controllable mutated beasts are all intelligent and can understand human speech. It just depends on whether you can get it to follow you willingly."
Just as Xiao Li was about to speak and assure Lin Muyan that he wouldn't disappoint her, Lin Muyan had already left.
Xiao Li's eyes darkened, and then he clenched his fist at his side.
In the apocalypse, it's hard to have genuine feelings anymore. If he wants to get closer to Lin Muyan, he can only become a useful person.
The weak have no right to stand beside Lin Muyan, and he would never allow a good-for-nothing like himself to trouble Lin Muyan.
Mutant beasts are appearing everywhere these days, and now even mutated plants have appeared, bringing us closer to a global mutation.
He truly hoped he would be the lucky one, awaken his superpowers, become stronger, and then go find Lin Muyan…
On the way back, Lin Muyan checked on Ah Bao's condition and found that she was still in a deep sleep, so she summoned the Ice Wolf to take her home.
After this trip, she'll probably have to stay in the safe house until the torrential rain disaster ends, so she has some things to do on her way back.
She also had a coordinate locator, which required taking a longer route, but fortunately, the ice wolf was fast enough that she arrived in less than two hours.
Lin Muyan didn't linger and quickly dug up a set of boxing gloves at the designated location.
She tried them out on the spot and confirmed their functionality.
Simply put, these boxing gloves not only increase the user's strength, but also provide an electric shock effect with each punch.
Lin Muyan named it Thunder Gauntlets.
She herself didn't really like this kind of violent and blatant equipment, and planned to give it to her older brother when she got back.
We continued on our journey, and along the way, we dug up another gold shovel.
To her surprise, she unearthed six more Doomsday Fortress Contracts, bringing the total number of contracts for the Doomsday Fortress at sea to ten. She could start construction at any time.
The remaining four contracts turned out to be the block contracts for the second Doomsday Fortress.
The new Doomsday Fortress Contract is exactly the same as the previous one. There are fifty contract blocks in total. Digging up ten of them will start the construction plan, provided that she selects a site first.
Lin Muyan thought that finding a doomsday fortress was already a miracle, but she never expected that such a miracle could be replicated!
[Look, she's digging again. Is a doomsday fortress something that's everywhere? The first one hasn't even started construction yet, and this second one is already here?]
[Is she aiming to dominate the apocalypse? What kind of domineering script does Lin Muyan have in her hands? This cannon fodder's awakening is way too thorough!]
【I'm really looking forward to it! S City already has a sea-based doomsday fortress, so will the next doomsday fortress be built in other cities?】
Where the doomsday fortress is located determines the future development and construction of the post-apocalyptic world. Lin Muyan holds the reins of the future situation; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the mastermind behind it all...
