On the second floor of a small villa in the inner ring of the B City base, Lin Kexin had just come out of the jade slip space when she "heard" someone talking at the door of another villa.
Originally, Lin Kexin always hated listening to other people's gossip, but ever since Lin Ruihai became the base commander of the survivor base in City B, in order to help Lin Ruihai grasp the movements of some lower-level mercenary groups in the base, she has developed the habit of listening to information at any time.
"...What? Song Changlong went out on a mission yesterday and didn't come back. Everyone said that he had an accident. No, that's impossible. Who is Song Changlong? How could he get into trouble so easily?"
"I heard that a fourth-order mutant animal appeared outside our base, and Song Changlong encountered it on his way back. Lin Ruihai was able to become the base commander, first, thanks to his father-in-law, and second, thanks to the support of Song Changlong. Now that Song Changlong is gone, Lin Ruihai has cut off one of his arms." Although the old lady concealed her words, anyone with a little bit of common sense could hear the gloating in her tone.
For some reason, Lin Kexin rarely had emotional fluctuations, but when she heard these words, anger rose in her heart.
She knew who the aunt who said this was. After the end of the world, this aunt and her daughter were among the military dependents who were personally escorted to the survivor base in City B by Song Changlong.
Just because she felt that Lin Ruihai, a subordinate, was suppressing her husband, and Song Changlong refused to accept her daughter, this aunt knew that he was in trouble and was gloating. She didn't think that Song Changlong was out on a mission to search for supplies for this base.
"What good will it do to our base if Song Changlong gets into trouble? Why are you gloating over his misfortune? In the past few months, it's only because of the cooperation between Lin Ruihai and Song Changlong that we have the stable life we have now. Are you tired of living and want to cause trouble? Think about how miserable you were when the end of the world just came, and it was Song Changlong who saved you at that time." Fortunately, the other woman couldn't stand it anymore and spoke sarcastically.
"When did I gloat over someone else's misfortune? I was just sighing." Of course the old lady did not admit it.
"Don't think that just because the survivor base in City B was established by the military, the military has absolute power. If it weren't for Lin Ruihai and Song Changlong being the top two masters of this base, the Tiger Mercenary Group would have turned the tables long ago. If a private individual is allowed to become the head of the base, we military families won't be able to live such a good life." A woman said calmly.
"Mrs. Lu is definitely not afraid. Captain Lu's daughter has a boyfriend who is a member of the Tiger Mercenaries." said the woman who spoke sarcastically.
"What do you mean? What does it have to do with you if my girlfriend has a boyfriend?" The aunt called Mrs. Lu was a little angry.
"No, our army didn't know about Song Changlong's accident. How did you know about it, Sister Lu, and how did you know it so clearly?" asked the woman who spoke calmly.
"Why do you care where I know it from? There was a fourth-level mutant animal outside the base. The private mercenary group knew about it a long time ago, but our army is the only one who doesn't know about it." Mrs. Lu said arrogantly.
Lin Kexin narrowed her eyes slightly. This Mrs. Lu was very suspicious.
Lin Kexin walked downstairs, and the five military wives who were chatting at the door of the next building saw her and greeted her embarrassedly.
Lin Kexin looked at Aunt Lu and smiled at her: "Aunt Lu, I want you to do me a favor."
Mrs. Lu's eyes paused for a moment, and then she said naturally, "If you have anything to say, I will definitely help you."
"Can we talk at my house?" Lin Kexin said a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Lu followed Lin Kexin without hesitation.
The remaining four military wives looked at Mrs. Lu's back in surprise, whispering to each other, "When did this woman become so enthusiastic? Hasn't she always hated the young lady of the Lin family and always said bad things about her?"
"Isn't it because you feel guilty for saying bad things about my brother and Song Changlong?"
"When have you ever seen her feel guilty? This woman will make a scene even if she is unreasonable. Feeling guilty is a joke to her..."
About ten minutes later, Mrs. Lu came out of the Lin family.
Her eyes were a little dazed as she walked straight towards Chao's house. When someone called her on the way, she just answered and continued walking forward, not gossiping with those people as usual.
After returning home, Mrs. Lu didn't even take off her shoes and went straight into bed to sleep.
Lin Ruihai was not as Dai Yanping and Gao Genrong had guessed, frowning because Song Changlong did not return all night, and was ready to lead people out of the base to rescue him.
Because he received a message late last night that although Song Changlong and his group were in danger, they were rescued.
Because their location is seventy or eighty kilometers away from the base in City B, it will take them until around noon to get back to the base.
Song Changlong got the supplies as planned, and he was fine, so Lin Ruihai continued his training as usual. It was not until his sister came to him that he learned that rumors were spreading in the B City base.
It is said that a fourth-order mutant animal appeared near the B City base. Song Changlong and his team encountered it while on a mission yesterday, and now they have been completely wiped out.
"These rumors should have come from the Tiger Mercenaries. Big brother, please have people keep an eye on the movements of the Tiger Mercenaries. I suspect that Song Changlong's encounter with the fourth-order mutant snake yesterday was related to the Tiger Mercenaries, otherwise they wouldn't have known it so clearly." Lin Kexin told Lin Ruihai what she had gotten from Mrs. Lu.
Lin Ruihai nodded solemnly: "I have already arranged for someone to do this. I guess it is not convenient for them to pass on the news to me. It should be available later."
Hearing that Song Changlong was fine, Lin Kexin calmed down all of a sudden.
Lin Ruihai did not miss his adopted sister. When he mentioned that Song Changlong might be in trouble, he could not help but feel a little sour. Although this sister was very cold, she was still moved by Song Changlong's efforts.
"Brother, give me the car and I'll go out to look for it." Lin Kexin said.
Lin Ruihai didn't expect that even though he said Song Changlong was fine, his sister was still worried.
Everyone thought that Lin Ruihai was the best master in the B City base, but they didn’t know that the real best master was Lin Ruihai’s sister Lin Kexin.
However, because Lin Kexin's body is still recovering, and she is a very low-key person, not many people know how terrifying Lin Kexin's supernatural powers are.
"Although Chang Long encountered trouble, he didn't even have any minor injuries, and he will probably be back at the base before noon. There is only more than an hour left until noon. You don't need to go out to look for him. He should be back if you wait a little longer." Lin Ruihai said.
When Lin Kexin heard Lin Ruihai say that Song Changlong was not injured, her dark eyes obviously relaxed a lot.
"I'll wait here." Lin Kexin was still a little worried.
What else could Lin Ruihai do but agree?
But after the serious business was over, the two siblings looked at each other in silence, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Lin Ruihai continued training.
Lin Kexin sat on a chair beside the training ground and watched Lin Ruihai train.
The young officers and soldiers on the training ground couldn't help but sneak a peek at their base commander's sister during the short break after an exhausting training.
