Chapter 92 Rumors
Finally realizing the realm of spearmanship, Lin Zhen gave Zhang Guanyue 10 million as promised.
In Lin Zhen's opinion, such martial arts could not be purchased even with 100 billion, let alone 10 million. This deal was totally worth it.
Zhang Guanyue was also very satisfied. With these 10 million, his future life would be guaranteed and he could live a happy and stable life.
Putting away the Black Dragon Spear, Lin Zhen said to Zhang Guanyue: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for teaching me such a powerful martial art. If you need anything in the future, you can call me. I will never refuse as long as I can do it."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Guanyue rejected Lin Zhen's phone number: "Lin Zhen, I received your kindness, but I don't think it's necessary. I don't plan to get involved in the world of warriors anymore. I have a girlfriend who is still waiting for me. Now I have money and can marry her. I don't think we will have any intersection anymore."
Lin Zhen nodded. There were too many warriors with this mentality. He could understand Zhang Guanyue very well. Not everyone aspired to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. Too many people yearned for a peaceful and happy life.
"Haha! But I will still pay attention to you in the future. Maybe one day when you become successful, I can brag to my girlfriend. Look! This Lin Zhen, the best warrior in the world, even learned spearmanship from me."
Zhang Guanyue hesitated for a moment, then said to Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, are you going to the wilderness area during this period of time?"
Lin Zhen nodded. He was naturally going to the wilderness area, to Zhaodong, to have a good fight with Li Tianhao and his gang.
Zhang Guanyue said: "I think it's better for you not to go out for the time being."
"Why?" Lin really wanted to hear Zhang Guanyue's reason.
"I have a cold in my legs, and they are very sensitive to wind and snow. My legs have been hurting these days. I feel that there will definitely be a blizzard in the near future, and it will be very big. If you go to the wilderness area, the roads may not be open anymore, and it will be difficult to come back then."
"Oh! A big blizzard!"
Lin Zhen felt cold for a moment, and the memories in his heart slowly emerged.
There was indeed a severe snowstorm that year, which even trapped many warriors in the wild, leaving them with no chance to return to the base city.
Now, because there are only a few satellites in the sky above the earth, weather forecasts in the AD calendar have become history. We can only observe the weather based on experience, and the base city has not issued a blizzard forecast.
Originally, Lin Zhen had no good idea of how to deal with Li Tianhao and his group in the wild, but this snowstorm gave him a new inspiration.
"Thank you, I will pay attention to it." Lin Zhen waved to Zhang Guanyue.
Amid Zhang Guanyue's laughter, Lin Zhen said goodbye to her and left Nancheng District where he had stayed for a week.
After going out, Lin Zhen found his car in a nearby garage. After getting in the car, he took out his mobile phone from the space ring.
Before he left, he told his family and a few good friends that he would not be able to contact them this week because of something else so that he could concentrate on practicing martial arts. He also placed his cell phone in a space ring so that he would not receive any calls or messages.
After turning on the phone, I immediately received several messages.
There was a message from Shi Lei, saying that Zhao Liang and Meng Dong had already received treatment. Because of the money left by Lin Zhen, they had enough money for treatment. They would probably be discharged from the hospital in half a month, so Lin Zhen didn't need to worry.
Another message was actually sent by Li Tianhao.
"Lin Zhen, where have you been hiding, you coward? I know you want to hide for a month and a half, and then wait for the God General Training Camp to start before coming out, but I tell you, even if you hide, your family can't hide either. Sooner or later, I will find a chance to deal with them. And An Ning, An Ning will be mine sooner or later, so don't be a toad wanting to eat swan meat, hahaha! If you don't accept it, come to Zhaodong to find me. I'm practicing here. Do you dare?"
Seeing this message, Lin Zhen's face turned cold.
Li Tianhao actually ignored the rules between warriors and threatened his family. Although he has not put it into practice yet, such words are a sign of danger. Lin Zhen will never allow such a thing to happen.
And An Ning. Lin Zhen did not doubt An Ning's feelings for him, but what if he died?
What if I disappear? Who can guarantee what will happen in the future?
Li Tianhao’s problem must be solved, and Zhaodong must also go.
In addition to the messages between the two of them, there was another message from their mother Li Qin, telling Lin Zhen that Li Mengxi had called home to look for Lin Zhen, and Li Qin even enthusiastically invited Li Mengxi to come home, but Li Mengxi did not come when she heard that Lin Zhen was not there.
Li Qin also left a message for Lin Zhen, asking him if he and Li Mengxi were friends. If so, bring her back as soon as possible, as Li Qin liked this daughter-in-law very much.
Lin Zhen felt a headache after seeing this message. It was impossible for him and Li Mengxi to be together. He didn't like each other. Moreover, he believed that Li Mengxi would never be so rash as to call home. There might be something going on.
But now there is no clue, and Lin Zhen can't guess. He logged into the warrior forum again to see if anything has happened recently.
After logging into the forum, he actually saw many posts online that cursed him.
The reason was that there were several posts online challenging him to a duel, and the locations were all in Zhaodong.
The posts were posted by Li Tianhao, Lao Hu from Liefeng, Zhang Huai from the Blood Hand Squad, Ouyang Yu from the Dragon Slayer, and even many unknown warriors who had challenged Lin Zhen to a duel.
Fights between warriors happen almost every day. As long as there is a post as evidence, the death will be in vain and no one will interfere.
Lin Zhen is very popular at this time. He is the number one warrior in Ice City. This title is enough to make too many people envious and jealous. Some people are really dissatisfied with Lin Zhen and want to challenge him, which is understandable. Some people simply use this as a springboard to become famous and get more attention.
Lin Zhen had seen this kind of thing in his previous life, but this was the first time it happened to him.
These posts started to appear a week ago. In the beginning, people would curse this behavior and defend Lin Zhen, but as the days passed, Lin Zhen never responded to any of the posts, and never even showed up. Those who challenged Lin Zhen became as excited as if they had won the lottery. They jumped up and down on the Internet every day as if they were injected with chicken blood, and slanderous words against Lin Zhen emerged one after another.
For example, Ouyang Yu said, "Lin Zhen, you are a poor boy from the slums. Because your family has no money, speculation has always been your strong point. I have already checked it out. I put the wrong spiritual potion on my stall and you bought it in seconds. I originally wanted to put the price at one million, but I made a typo and put it at one hundred yuan, and you bought it. I asked you for it but you refused to give it to me. You have never seen money in your life, right? I tell you that I really don't care about a few million. I'm giving it to you. I'm not afraid of your reputation. I dare to challenge a despicable villain like you. If you don't accept it, let's meet in Zhaodong. I won't say more. Here are the pictures!"
There are several pictures on the post, which are screenshots of Lin Zhen’s account buying potions from his stall.
After checking, netizens were able to confirm that Ouyang Yu's potion was bought by Lin Zhen. After all, it is a real-name system nowadays, and there is no one who cannot be found.
From this point of view, many people think that Lin Zhen has character problems and is not worthy of respect no matter how strong he is. Some people who were originally jealous of Lin Zhen have become Lin haters.
In addition to posts like Ouyang Yu's, there were also people who listed the fact that Lin Zhen had falsified his grades in his graduation exam.
People now have a unified understanding that Lin Zhen is a natural speedster. However, when investigating Lin Zhen's punching speed and nerve reaction when he graduated, it was found that they were very different from his current strength. If Lin Zhen had exposed his identity as a natural speedster earlier, he would probably have been sent to special training by the martial arts school. But he chose to conceal it. There must be something fishy here.
Others say that Lin Zhen has bad intentions and is cunning, and would be a nuisance no matter which martial arts school he stays in.
Some people also said that Lin Zhen took the opportunity to fight against the Russian warriors and deliberately asked for an exorbitant price. Now he even obtained the buying and selling rights of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the base city. He was completely using this battle to seek personal gain for himself, disregarding the prestige of the country and the nation. He had no sense of the overall situation and was a typical villain.
Although Lin Zhen won a lot of love in the Liefeng battle, he was too prominent after all. The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Too many people were jealous of Lin Zhen and attacked him with all kinds of excuses.
Some people also said that Lin Zhen was cruel. Why did he kill the Russian trio? Isn't fighting between warriors a way to make friends through martial arts? They didn't kill Liefeng's Fu Chengya and Shentu Hua before.
So someone gave Lin Zhen the title of butcher.
Of course, there are more people who still support Lin Zhen. After all, Lin Zhen's victory over the Russians was indeed a great joy to the people in Ice City. Especially since Lin Zhen is quite handsome, he has the support of many women.
On the Internet, Lin Mi and Lin Hei have become friends, and the two sides are criticizing each other and the war of words is extremely fierce.
But in the end, it is still difficult to refute what Lin Hei said, that is, aren’t you, Lin Zhen, very powerful? Then do you dare to go to Zhaodong?
So many people are challenging you, if you have the guts, just stand up!
Lin Mi also hoped that Lin Zhen could fight back and completely defeat those who looked down on him, but Lin Zhen disappeared without a trace, which disappointed some Lin Mi.
Lin Zhen browsed through the posts one after another. He knew very well that there must be someone behind these things, whose purpose was to make Lin Zhen go to Zhaodong as soon as possible, and then keep him there forever so that he would never be able to go to the God General Training Camp.
Even if Lin Zhen keeps silent, those who support him won't see him appear for a long time and probably won't support him anymore in the future. His reputation has been completely ruined.
Lin Zhen logged into his account and posted a message online using his real name.
"Those who slander me, those who say I have bad character, those who challenge me, you all need to listen to me!"
"I, Lin Zhen, am not a saint, nor am I a hero who serves the country and the people. I am just a pure warrior. In this apocalypse where living is a luxury, I am used to speaking with force."
"It's not that I have no way to refute your slanderous remarks about me. Those evidences are full of loopholes, but I don't need to explain. Didn't you ask me to go to Zhaodong? Then you just wait in Zhaodong. I will be there soon. When the time comes, I will use my fists and spear to teach you what the survival rules are in this apocalypse!"
"And those who said I was wrong to kill the Russians, let me ask you again. If I hadn't shot them when I was falling from the sky, do you think I would have been torn to pieces by the three of them? Showing mercy is something you can only do to people whose strength gap is too big. In a duel between masters, if you are soft-handed, you will fail and die. At the last moment, Ivan and I fought desperately, and Nelov grabbed my arms and ankles. Should I fight back with the strongest means? Is my failure or death what you want to see? Remember, if peace can only be won by shaking hands and begging for mercy, then there is no need for warriors to exist."
Lin Zhen posted this message, then turned off his phone and drove home humming a little tune.
As for those who have set a tight net for themselves in Zhaodong, let them wait for the day when the snowstorm comes!
