On the maglev train, Yin Lin looked at Su Jie with some confusion: "Honey, I'm safely back at the tower, but you don't seem happy?"
Su Jie forced a smile: "Happy? How could I not be happy?"
"Did that wandering rogue escort you back to the tower himself?"
Yin Lin corrected, "It's Mr. Yang Cheng."
"We were so grateful for Mr. Yang Cheng's escort; otherwise, crossing the no-man's-land wouldn't have been so easy."
Su Jie gripped the steering wheel tightly, his fingers pressing down slightly, and his voice trembled as he said, "He didn't do anything to you the whole way?"
This is what Su Jie has always wanted to ask.
Although Su Jie, as the strategist of the Guardian Legion, rarely left the tower, he was at least more knowledgeable about the situation outside the tower than Yin Lin.
A beauty like Yin Lin is a rare resource, no matter where she is. Even in the tower, Su Jie had to defeat countless competitors and face threats from directors of large companies before he could marry Yin Lin.
Outside the tower, Yin Lin was like a piece of plump, juicy meat, incredibly tempting.
How could nothing have happened between Yang Cheng and Yin Lin, who were alone together for so many days?
Yang Cheng also said that he had been paid to escort Yin Lin back, and that the payment might have been Yin Lin's body!
It should be noted that although Yin Lin has become his fiancée, Su Jie has not touched Yin Lin yet, in order to show that he respects her!
The thought of his beloved wife, whom he had never dared to touch, being pinned down by another man, and even having to use his body every night in exchange for the other man's escort, made Su Jie's heart ache, and he felt as if he were being cuckolded.
Hearing Su Jie say this, even the most naive Yin Lin understood what he meant.
"Su Jie! How could you think of me like that? Do you think I'm the kind of shameless woman?"
Besides, some things are either done or not done!
If I had truly risked my life to return safely to the tower, why would I have come to inform you?
Su Jie's expression was somewhat ferocious: "How could I not know what those wilderness wanderers look like?"
They're all greedy, shameless, vulgar, and filthy. How could nothing have happened between a lone man and woman living with you for so many days?
1200ksw.
Yin Lin looked coldly at Su Jie and said coldly, "So you're convinced that Mr. Yang and I have a problem, right?"
"Very well, Su Jie, how come I never realized your mind was so filthy!"
After saying that, Yin Lin pressed the emergency stop button on the maglev car, opened the door, and left.
Su Jie panicked and quickly chased after her, saying, "Yin Lin! Darling, listen to me, that's not what I meant!"
Yin Lin abruptly broke free from Su Jie's arm and coldly snorted, "Let go of me! I need to reconsider our relationship!"
Su Jie stood there, staring at Yin Lin's retreating figure, his teeth clenched, his expression incredibly ferocious.
At this moment, Yang Cheng had no idea that he had inexplicably become a member of the Yellow Hair gang.
But he could still tell that Su Jie was quite possessive.
It's actually quite normal. Any normal person who marries such a beautiful wife would definitely be suspicious.
Of course, none of that mattered. After obtaining the permanent residency permit for the tower, Yang Cheng had no intention of having anything to do with Yin Lin anymore.
On the way, Yang Cheng asked Yin Lin a lot of questions about the tower, but there was one thing he didn't ask directly: the heart of the tower.
After all, he was just a somewhat ignorant wilderness hunter who had come from the refuge. If the Heart of the Tower was related to the Tower's secrets, it would seem very suspicious if he asked about it.
Moreover, Yang Cheng had also subtly inquired about some important aspects of the tower from Yin Lin.
As it turns out, Yin Lin mentioned that the tower has the legendary fifth-order gene serum, nuclear-powered armor, astonishing bio-armor, and the ultimate weapon, Hades' Child, but she never mentioned the heart of the tower.
Therefore, Yang Cheng's first step into the tower was to figure out what the heart of the tower was and where it was located.
At this moment, Yang Cheng was walking in the dimly lit alley, preparing to find a place to stay.
These alleys are nestled among high-rise buildings, many of which have been illegally constructed, which almost completely blocks out the light sources in the alleys, leaving them only with sporadic streetlights for illumination.
The streets were still wet, with water droplets falling from time to time, and the air was hot and humid.
This is because there is a large plantation above this area.
The nobles on the upper levels of the tower disliked the poor people on the first level for being too dirty, so they moved the plantation to the air, fearing that these lowly people would contaminate their organic vegetables.
The first floor of the tower is divided into eleven sections, and Yang Cheng is currently in the ninth section.
It was precisely because the plantation was located above District 9 that District 9 was able to live quite well thanks to this plantation.
Some commoners with farming skills can work on plantations and earn a meager but stable wage.
Even the poorest people could collect water droplets falling from the plantation through the sewers; this was pure water free from radiation pollution.
In the apocalypse, pure water is incredibly precious, especially outside the tower.
Many people earn a living by collecting meager amounts of pure water and selling it to wandering wilderness travelers passing by the tower.
Yin Lin transferred a little over a thousand Tower Coins to Yang Cheng's card, which was actually enough for Yang Cheng to find a better place to live.
Inside the tower, a commoner working on the plantation earns about 300 tower coins a month, enough to feed a family of two or three.
