Chapter 78 Going to the Capital Without Worries
"You spineless coward, what kind of man cries like that? Thanks to Dr. Bo, my fever has subsided, and I've even awakened a special ability. Hurry up and give me a smile!"
Lin Xiaoxiao's words stunned even Lian Bo. He never expected the city lord's wife to be so fierce! No wonder the city lord is afraid of his wife!
But the city lord seemed quite accepting, taking out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears and giving the city lord's wife a bright smile.
To be honest, the city lord usually looks very serious. Although he can't be considered very handsome, his looks are still an eight out of ten.
But when he smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth on both sides and two dimples on his cheeks, he looked like a sunny and handsome man.
Not only does she look five years younger, but she also elevates her appearance from an eight out of ten to a nine.
"Yes, she looks better when she's smiling." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction.
Bo Yiyan wisely left, leaving the couple alone.
Lin smiled and said, "Ah Hao, the superpower I awakened is the ability to create representational art."
As she spoke, she took out a pen and paper and quickly drew a crossbow on the paper.
Then, he reached out and lifted the handle of the crossbow, and a genuine crossbow made of super alloy metal appeared before the city lord.
"Xiaoxiao, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Are you dizzy? Do you feel weak in your limbs?" Instead of being pleasantly surprised, City Lord Shi was full of worry.
"Ah Hao, aren't you proud of me? I'm just an ordinary person. I was scratched by a zombie, but instead of turning into a zombie, I became a superhuman," Lin Xiaoxiao said, dissatisfied.
“But your superpower is too extraordinary; I’m worried it will backfire on you,” said City Lord Shi.
"Don't worry! I tried it out, and I can draw vegetable and fruit nutrient solutions, as well as tables, chairs, benches, and clothes."
"Food consumes a lot of energy. As for weapons, cold weapons don't consume much energy, but they simply can't materialize when faced with firearms, highly lethal weapons, or animals," Lin Xiaoxiao comforted him.
"So you mean things that consume a lot of energy, like painting, are just painting and won't affect your body?" the city lord asked.
“Yes, that’s right, so you don’t need to worry at all,” Lin said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good!" City Lord Shi finally felt relieved.
Looking at his wife, whom he had just found and was now smiling brightly, he felt as if he had emerged from the gloom.
He had almost given up hope that his wife would recover. The main reason he went to the front line to command and participate in the battle was to fulfill his wife's last wish.
Later, after witnessing firsthand the miraculous and highly effective medicines that Bo Yiyan used to treat the wounded after the war, he began to hold onto a glimmer of hope again.
Unexpectedly, before he could even beg for help, the man himself came to his door and saved his wife's life.
He knew very well that Lord Bai was expressing his sincerity for their cooperation, and he was not the kind of person who would betray someone after using them.
Lord Shi only stayed in his wife's bedroom for half an hour before rushing off to find Xiaobai, saying without hesitation:
"Lord Bai, I, Lin Dongcheng, will fully support you in overthrowing the rulers and abolishing the slave trade!"
"Very well, actually I didn't expect you to be of any help, but I don't want to be attacked from both sides."
"I will absolutely not drag you into this until I am absolutely certain, because Lin Dong City needs you," Xiao Bai said very frankly.
"I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I can provide you with military funding from Lin Dongcheng, and I can also persuade my fellow comrades not to accept the summons of those in power when the great war breaks out in the future."
"Don't worry, there won't be any heavy-handed friends behind you anymore. Just keep moving forward." Shi Jihao said earnestly.
**
The northern part of Silverwing Star is covered with glaciers, while the southern part is covered with endless dense forests, so important cities are concentrated in the west and east.
Therefore, among the three largest families on Silverwing Star, the Huajing family and the Simmons family both established branches in West Asia City and Lindong City.
Only the Ke family disdained expanding their power; they only guarded the capital, Silvermoon City, extending their reach to every corner of the capital.
The Hua Jing family and the Simmons family had made several attempts to suppress the power of the Ke family, but all of them ultimately failed and even damaged their own strength.
Helpless, they could only purchase large numbers of slaves from outer space and use deception to forcibly convert their native inhabitants into slaves.
It is precisely through this unpaid labor that these two families have grown increasingly powerful over the past decade. If it weren't for their fear of the close relationship between the Ke family and Tang Haohan, the current commander of the Silverwing Legion, they would have already taken action against the Ke family.
Xiao Bai has taken over the West Asia branch and the Lin Dong branch of the Hua Jing family, and this cannot be kept secret for long.
In addition, after entering the zombie hunting grounds, Xiao Bai took the slave rings of 24 of Qiu Jichuan's subordinates with combat power of B level or above. Later, because they were not led by Xiao Bai, they were not allowed to pass by the soldiers guarding the entrance and were forced to run to the gap.
While fighting the walkers, they rushed into the ring-shaped area through the gap.
At that time, the battle in the ring was at its most intense, and even if they wanted to hide, they couldn't escape and were forced to participate in the battle.
Five of them died from the claws of the walkers, and the remaining 19 were all injured to varying degrees.
Although Bo Yiyan used his own stock of medicines to treat the wounded, and they were among those being treated, some of them were not only not grateful, but resentful instead.
In their view, without Xiaobai and his group and their minister Qiu Jichuan's defection, they could have stayed at home and been protected citizens.
Therefore, as soon as communication was restored throughout the city, two of these people reported everything to the Hua Jing family headquarters.
At the same time, Xiaobai and his group had already arrived in the capital.
The city lord deliberately blocked all communications in the city, and communications were not restored until Xiaobai and his group arrived in the capital.
This would at least prevent the Hua Jing family from getting advance notice and ambushing them on the way.
Xiao Bai and his group were registered as slaves in Xiya City. The city lord of Shi had a close relationship with the city lord of Xiya City. After the victory celebration, when he formed an alliance with Xiao Bai, he asked the city lord of Xiya City to cancel their slave registration.
Xiao Bai and his group entered the capital openly and legitimately, and under the leadership of Miranda Rossetti, they made a high-profile trip to the Silverwing Legion's headquarters to visit Legion Commander Tang Haohan.
Miranda had informed Tang Haohan beforehand. He neither agreed to an alliance with Xiaobai nor refused outright, only saying that they should meet and discuss it further.
This time, Xiaobai's family came to visit as Tang Haohan's sworn sister.
Tang Haohan was an orphan. The orphanage he attended was forced to close down due to financial reasons. He went with a hunting team to hunt strange beasts, but was pushed out as bait.
He successfully lured out the sixth-tier beast, but he was too slow to dodge and was severely injured, on the verge of death, and abandoned by his teammates.
Another hunting party that was passing by found him, and the captain took him back, healed his wounds, and adopted him.
His adoptive mother was a gentle and kind woman who did not mind having an extra mouth to feed in the family. She simply told him to take good care of his younger sister should they all be gone in the future.
My younger sister is the only daughter of my adoptive parents. She has a very cheerful personality, and the two siblings have had a very good relationship since childhood.
Unfortunately, she later met a down-on-his-luck young man from West Asia, and despite the objections of her adoptive parents and him, she eloped with him and has not been heard from since.
Tang Haohan specifically asked Miranda to make this arrangement so that there would be no hidden dangers in this meeting.
Upon entering the Silverwing Legion's base, he immediately felt a strong aura of iron and blood. The shouts of soldiers training in the distance could be faintly heard. Achen was immediately excited because it reminded him of his former Xiangyun Academy.
Standing far away in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the high-rise building, Tang Haohan, who was observing the family with binoculars, couldn't help but smile when he saw the excitement on the boy's face.
Not bad, not bad. Even a seven or eight-year-old child in this family has such courage.
In the past, when other military officers' families came to visit, the children would either cry in fear or become too weak to walk and would cling to their parents for a hug as soon as they entered the house and heard such shouts of killing.
It's often said that a tiger father begets no dog son, and the reverse is also true. If the son is a hero, then the father should naturally be a hero too, right?
