Hu Yu was single-mindedly focused on escaping. Others were quite happy about Li Shiyun's return. Regardless of her temper, in terms of combat power, she could be considered the strongest in Shashi. With her around, everyone's chances of survival increased significantly. But as for him... he just thought it was foolish for Li Shiyun to come back, and even more foolish for the reinforcements she brought back.
"The beast tide is about to cross the river, and we still need to send people to rescue that reinforcement? I don't think it's necessary."
When Hu Yu saw Zhang Shukai suggest that Li Xinyue go to save Zhang Lin, he immediately stopped him.
Upon hearing this, Li Xinyue glanced at Hu Yu, her tone turning colder, "Go back and prepare for battle. This is none of your business!"
She had been dissatisfied with Hu Yu for some time. Despite being a young man, he lacked the vigor of Zhang Shukai and only thought about escaping all day long.
Previously, she had been tolerant of Hu Yu because the Shashi gathering area was not strong enough and could not affect unity. But now that she knew Zhang Lin was coming, she felt confident and suddenly didn't want to tolerate Hu Yu anymore.
"Big sister, I..."
Hu Yu wanted to say something more.
Li Xinyue interrupted him abruptly, waving her hand as if to send him back, "Don't say anymore, go back."
Hu Yu was naturally unconvinced, but before he could say anything more, the group saw a figure flash by in the distance and immediately looked over.
Those children who survive the end times are all very vigilant.
The group quickly went to look for the figure that had vanished in a flash.
But suddenly, a man's voice rang in their ears, "Miss Li, it's been a long time."
Everyone was shocked!
Hu Yu and Lin Lu, in particular, immediately adopted a defensive stance.
Zhang Shukai, on the other hand, was more composed than the other two. He was older and had experienced more in life. At first, he was also very wary, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt at ease. The newcomer did not attack, but instead greeted Li Xinyue, which meant that they were acquaintances and there was definitely no danger.
Li Xinyue, on the other hand, felt completely at ease.
She was still thinking about sending someone to rescue Zhang Lin. Although she knew Zhang Lin was very strong, she didn't know exactly how strong he was. She had no idea how strong Zhang Lin was against the second strongest rhinoceros in the beast tide.
In particular, the rhinoceros wasn't alone; it brought several of its minions with it.
But now that Zhang Lin has appeared, she no longer needs to worry about his safety. After all, the beast tide is about to cross the river, and she doesn't have much power to send out.
"Mr. Zhang, it's been a long time!" Li Xinyue said with delight, taking a few steps forward. "I really didn't expect you to come and support us in person. I'm so grateful!"
What she said was true.
A thought popped into his head: 'Does Xiaoyun really like him that much? He actually came all this way in person!'
"Really? How grateful are you?"
Zhang Lin looked at Li Xinyue, who was smiling and chatting, and asked her a question.
Li Xinyue was clearly a very intelligent and intellectual woman. Playing tricks on this kind of woman was useless, so he simply went straight for the point.
“Uh…” Li Xinyue was speechless. Zhang Lin’s directness caught her completely off guard.
"I've come all this way, you're not going to let me come for nothing, are you?" Zhang Lin asked again.
"Huh?" Li Xinyue was a prominent figure both before and after the apocalypse, and with her beauty, she had many suitors. When had she ever met someone as direct as Zhang Lin? She was filled with questions and didn't know what to say.
Of course, she wouldn't let Zhang Lin make a wasted trip. She would definitely repay the kindness of helping her in her time of need, but Zhang Lin said it so directly...
It's still a bit hard to accept.
Even Li Xinyue couldn't quite accept it, let alone the two young people beside her.
Lin Lu was initially grateful for the reinforcements who had come from afar, but after hearing Zhang Lin's words, she felt somewhat unable to accept it.
As for the reinforcements, I will definitely repay them afterward, but to say it out in advance... well, humans are such contradictory creatures.
If Lin Lu only found it slightly difficult to accept, then Hu Yu's dissatisfaction was almost overflowing.
He wasn't particularly interested in reinforcements to begin with, and now he was even more annoyed.
Li Xinyue paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, your personal assistance is a great help to us. It is only right that we repay you afterwards. I'll put it this way: after the war, whatever you need, we will do our best to provide it!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lin nodded slightly.
That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
With that statement, it became much easier for him to make requests later on.
Zhang Shukai, standing to the side, was surprised.
He understood Li Xinyue. Although this woman appeared gentle and spoke softly, she was actually not weak and had a strong sense of self.
The promises she made were incredibly generous; she offered him whatever he wanted...
Unless this man who suddenly appeared is Li Xinyue's lover, there is only one possibility for her to make such a promise: this man is extremely powerful!
It must be said that Zhang Shukai was a smart man. He guessed the truth, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he felt more respect for Zhang Lin. He only took Zhang Lin's words as the straightforwardness of a strong person.
Lin Lu had no objection to Li Xinyue's promise. Regardless of what Zhang Lin said, his willingness to come all the way to support her was enough, especially since they would face a life-or-death battle later. No amount of reward would be too much.
But Hu Yu couldn't accept it.
Whatever you ask for, we'll give you.
That won't do. He also has a share in this camp, whether it's manpower or various resources.
For example, if this camp is a joint-stock company, then he also owns shares.
Now that Li Xinyue has promised to give Zhang Lin whatever he wants, if Zhang Lin makes exorbitant demands, won't he also share in the losses?
"Big sister, don't speak so hastily. Although we are in a critical moment, we can't just let anyone come and take advantage of us. How we repay them should be based on their contributions," Hu Yu said. Although he didn't mention Zhang Lin directly, every word he spoke was about Zhang Lin.
"Shut up!" Li Xinyue immediately snapped, "Didn't I just tell you to prepare for battle? Why aren't you going?"
We finally got some reinforcements, what if they get angry and leave...?
Li Xinyue wished she could just kill Hu Yu.
But to everyone's surprise, Hu Yu, who had a very bad temper, said, "Am I wrong? Big sister, aren't you being too generous? Or is it that this person has some connection with you, and you're just passing the buck?"
This is a very malicious accusation. He directly questioned whether Li Xinyue was in cahoots with Zhang Lin to embezzle camp property.
"You!" Li Xinyue's eyes were almost spitting fire. She wasn't angry about her own reputation. As a beautiful and virtuous woman, she had been the subject of many rumors and didn't care anymore. What she was afraid of was Zhang Lin getting angry.
