Lin Man seemed to find Lin Cheng's reaction very interesting: "Are you afraid of my dad?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, but..." Lin Cheng couldn't put his finger on it. Suddenly, he saw a sly smile in her face and understood: "You have prepared something else, right?"
Lin Man pursed his lips, smiled, and shook his head, saying, "I won't tell you."
"By the way, didn't you go to discuss the matter of the last zombie with the leader of Nanming?"
"From the time you killed the Zombie King until now, the Nanming base has been peaceful. We can't act rashly. Fortunately, the target is a three or four-year-old child, which is easier to investigate than an adult. Now the Nanming base is conducting a secret investigation." Lin Cheng said.
Lin Man nodded slightly. At this time, a helicopter flew over from the horizon. It flew towards the Nanming base first, then turned back halfway. The distance was getting closer and closer. Lin Man raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw it. The figure on it looked a little familiar.
"Is it them?" Lin Cheng said, "I'll go over and take a look."
Lin Man stood there without moving. After a while, the helicopter stopped and the four men and one woman who got off were indeed the ones he had seen more than half an hour ago.
He Yue saw that Lin Cheng was still a little embarrassed. He had just provoked someone, and now he had come to the other person's territory. Anyone would feel uncomfortable.
Han Yeqing said to Lin Cheng, "We just received an order from our commander saying he will be here soon. Please come and help us first."
Lin Cheng said, "There's nothing else to do right now. If you want to help, please make the camp stronger."
Han Yeqing was slightly stunned and nodded. He Yue muttered, "Hey, we didn't come here to do hard labor for you."
"You don't have to do it." Lin Cheng said.
He Yue gritted her teeth, a little afraid of the thing still wrapped in cloth in his hand, and snorted: "Do it, but I am doing this because I have to obey the orders of the superior, not you."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and strode towards the camp, and the others followed to help.
Before Lin Man could figure out what they were going to do, he saw the man named He Yue stomping his foot, and the uneven ground began to slowly wriggle as if it had come alive, and then it became smooth like a piece of wrinkled paper being stretched out.
This ability...
He leveled the ground, then went to the side, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and slowly lifted them up. A wall of earth was slowly "pulled" up.
Lin Man couldn't help but walk over and touched the wall. It was very hard, harder than cement. Her eyes lit up. If they could get people to Dayan Mountain, then they wouldn't have to build houses or roads too quickly.
He Yue felt someone staring at her. She turned around and saw Lin Man, startled: "Why are you here?"
Lin Man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why can't I be here?"
Others also saw Lin Man and were a little surprised, but this also confirmed their guess that her identity was unusual. If she was only related to Lin Cheng, with Lin Cheng's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for her to appear in such an important place.
Han Yeqing extended his hand towards Lin Man: "Hello, my name is Han Yeqing. We were rude to you just now. I'm so sorry."
Lin Man looked at this fair and handsome guy, whom he believed to be the strongest among the group, and reached out to shake his hand: "Lin Man."
Lin! Han Yeqing's expression froze for a moment, and the others followed suit, revealing expressions of astonishment that they managed to suppress.
Her last name is Lin, and considering her age and Lin Cheng's attitude towards her, and the fact that she can appear here...hiss, they all thought of a possibility.
Isn’t it such a coincidence?
But is there a better explanation than this?
No wonder Lin Cheng would protect her so much. He was always ready to face any provocation, but just now he not only took action, but also gave her a warning for the first time.
Several people's faces were a little stiff, and their attitudes immediately became cautious and serious. Only He Yue was not on the channel: "Why are you nagging her? Come on, help me, hold on to the wall."
The four of them looked at him in unison. He Yue looked puzzled: "What are you looking at?"
See if there's a hole in your brain.
See how miserable your death will be.
Han Yeqing said with a forced smile: "He Yue, hurry up and apologize to Miss Lin. You were so rude before."
He Yue: "Don't smile like that, it's fake and scary. Can't you just talk it over nicely?" He avoided the question and refused to apologize. His companions were almost pissed off by him.
Lin Man smiled: "You guys keep busy."
She walked a distance and suddenly heard He Yue exclaim. She turned around and saw that his earth wall had turned into a pile of loose sand and collapsed. He shouted, "What's going on? How could it become like this?" He walked around a few steps and suddenly fell down. The ground he had walked on became softer and softer, just like stepping on snow, with a pit at every step.
Lin Man was surprised, then thought of something: "Guan Guan, was it you who did this?"
Guan Guan was snorting as he ate spiritual energy. Upon hearing this, he said, "Yeah, another person with superpowers has come. I can replenish my spiritual energy again. That's great!"
Lin Man held his forehead and said, "You can't eat that."
"Why?"
"He wants to help build the camp."
"But even if I don't absorb the spiritual energy from the soil, they will become like that in a day or two."
So that's how it was. Lin Man gave up the idea of rescuing the people to Dayan Mountain, but still asked Guan Guan not to absorb the spiritual energy.
Guan Guan let out a somewhat aggrieved sigh, but couldn't help but secretly inhale a little more. All day long, the ground He Yue created was soft, and the walls he created were limp and brittle, looking as if they were about to collapse. He thought his ability had failed, and he felt like he'd been dealt a huge blow, completely emaciated. His companions were too busy trying to comfort him and figure out what was wrong to bother asking about Lin Man.
Lin Man looked around but didn't see Lin Cheng. It was strange because he seemed to be here just now. Then she found him talking to someone in the distance, so she didn't go to look for him.
Lin Cheng looked up at her back, but what he remembered was the scene of her shaking hands with Han Yeqing and standing with those people.
She needed to interact with those people. The people her father had nurtured should be her helpers. Instead of letting him conquer them, it would be better to let Lin Man conquer them himself. He believed that Lin Man had the ability and charm.
…
In the afternoon, planes came one after another. The one that looked particularly mighty and domineering in the front was Lin Zhongrong's plane. He came down from above with great speed. Everyone had already lined up and waited. At this moment, they saluted him in unison and called him "Commander".
It was the first time Lin Man had seen her father so flamboyant, but it was also only her second time meeting Lin Zhongrong. He was more dignified and austere than before, like a high and mighty figure in power, a figure with no emotions, which was a little frightening. But when he glanced at her, all the dignified and austere airs melted away, leaving only joy and kindness.
"Xiaoman, it's been a while since we last met. Let me see if you've grown taller." He didn't mind being watched by so many people and went straight to talk to his daughter.
The people who were already there were fine, as they were somewhat familiar with Lin Man's identity. Even Han Yeqing and the others, upon seeing this scene, merely confirmed their suspicions and showed no surprise. However, the young and old who had come with Lin Zhongrong were each more shocked than the other, as if they had discovered something truly remarkable.
No wonder, no wonder, no wonder Lin Zhongrong has been sending things to the south during this period of time. It seems that they are all given to his daughter!
Lin Man felt a little embarrassed with so many people watching, but she didn't show any fear. She smiled and called out, "Dad, let's get down to business first. We'll talk later."
The word "Dad" made Lin Zhongrong feel so comfortable and relaxed. He had heard it so many times on the phone, but it was never as satisfying as hearing it in person!
He also planned to let everyone know about his daughter's existence today, so he was particularly high-profile. He put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Okay, let's go see the Zombie King first."
They entered the transport plane that was being used as a makeshift research lab. It had been renovated, with lights installed on the ceiling and walls. The body was placed on a table, still wrapped in its bag. As people entered, they filled the space. Lin Zhongrong stood at the front, protecting his daughter behind him. "Open it."
Lin Cheng was wearing special gloves and took out a small knife from his hand. He cut the bag and the rope tied to the outside in one go, revealing the corpse inside.
People stretched their necks and asked, "Is this the Zombie King?" Apart from his extremely white skin, black and purple nails, and exposed yellow teeth, there didn't seem to be anything special about him.
The researchers were excited. They changed into their uniforms and said to Lin Zhongrong, "Captain Lin, we are going to perform an autopsy on the corpse of the zombie king. All non-essential personnel please leave."
There were really too many people here, but those who followed Lin Zhongrong all the way here and were able to get into the transport plane were all of high status. They wanted to drive all these people out, but it was not easy to say it directly, so the person who spoke aimed at Lin Man behind Lin Zhongrong.
A girl shouldn't be allowed into such an important occasion, no matter whose daughter she is.
Lin Man raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Why are you targeting her right from the start?"
Lin Zhongrong's face darkened. Today was his daughter's first official appearance in public, and he couldn't stop praising her, yet this man treated her like a soft persimmon? If he took advantage of her, how would Lin Man survive in this industry in the future?
He should have thought that these so-called researchers were bad-tempered and stubborn, with their tails stuck up in the sky, and they wanted to show off their so-called righteousness at any time.
Lin Cheng suddenly spoke up: "Miss Lin is not some irrelevant person. She was the one who killed this zombie king. Moreover, when the zombie king was alive, Miss Lin was the only one who had a direct exchange with it."
