Chapter 173 The Original Female Lead Who Was Used as Cannon Fodder 23
"Bang—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Linxiu was thrown heavily to the ground.
Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to speak here?
Lin Wuque looked down at him arrogantly, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent.
Anyone who dares to covet their master deserves to die!
Zhao Chenxiao stepped in front of Zhao Linxiu, his expression solemn: "Please calm down! He is clumsy with words and offended you. I apologize on his behalf."
As an apology, our base is willing to offer three level-seven zombie cores in the hope that you will forgive him this time.
He also felt that his nephew's words were too abrupt and even carried a hint of covetousness, but he couldn't just ignore Zhao Linxiu and watch him be beaten to death.
"Lin Wuque, what happened?"
The commotion outside was so great that it finally alerted Ruan Yunzhen.
Lin Wuque's killing intent faltered, and his entire body visibly softened.
He had been preoccupied with spending time with his master, and only now did he realize that his master had come to the base for a reason, and that if he chased him away, his master would definitely be angry.
Fortunately, he acted with restraint and did not kill Zhao Linxiu outright, but only injured him.
Lin Wuque snatched the food box from Zhao Chenxiao's hand and turned to the house, saying, "Master, I hope the base commander will bring breakfast. I said no, but he insisted."
As he spoke, he gave Zhao Chenxiao a warning look before gesturing for him to come inside with him.
Zhao Chenxiao felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't expected that this "master" could dispel Lin Wuque's killing intent with just a simple sentence, and he immediately paid even more attention to him.
He unconsciously straightened his clothes before following Lin Wuque into the villa.
Zhao Linxiu gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, trying his best to act normal as he followed them inside.
As soon as he entered, Zhao Chenxiao was stunned.
Even though he had learned from Zhao Linxiu how extraordinary his "master" was and had prepared himself mentally, he was still deeply shocked.
The woman before him was dressed in a black, form-fitting outfit that allowed for easy movement. The smooth lines of her dark skirt accentuated her breathtaking curves, yet none of them dared to harbor the slightest thought of disrespect.
Her skin was as smooth as moonlight, her eyebrows and eyes as delicate as ink paintings, and her lips as red as cinnabar, exuding a cool and aloof air, untouched by any worldly concerns.
Yet, a faint blush at the corner of her eye added a touch of eeriness to her otherwise ethereal and stunning face.
When she slightly raised her eyes, a dark flame seemed to flicker deep within them, making one both afraid to look directly at her and willing to be captivated.
Like a celestial being from the heavens, ethereal and alluring, like a demon's seduction... all descriptions of beauty became blasphemy at this moment, and Zhao Chenxiao felt that even breathing was an offense.
Lin Wuque caught the shock and infatuation on Zhao Chenxiao and Zhao Linxiu's faces. Like a lone wolf that had sensed its territory being invaded, a chill suddenly rose around him, and the temperature in the air instantly dropped to freezing point.
His knuckles tightened, and the food box creaked under the weight of his hands.
A sinister undercurrent surged in his eyes. "Have you seen enough?"
Who do these two people think they are, to look at their master with such eyes?
An intense killing intent surged forth, completely engulfing Zhao Chenxiao and Zhao Linxiu.
As the level of superpower increases, the gap between each level becomes like an insurmountable chasm. Even though Zhao Chenxiao is at the peak of level seven and is about to break through to level eight, he is ultimately not level eight and is completely suppressed by Lin Wuque.
It was as if an invisible giant hand was gripping their throats, rapidly sucking the air out of their lungs, making their breathing increasingly rapid and difficult.
Ruan Yunzhen called out warningly, "Lin Wuque."
Lin Wuque snorted at the two of them, suppressing the murderous intent surging in his heart, but his eyes still carried a warning.
"Hello, I am Zhao Chenxiao, the director of Hope Base."
Zhao Chenxiao gave a wry smile, lowered his head slightly, and avoided becoming engrossed in the story again.
He cannot act recklessly now, even if some kind of desire is awakening and clamoring.
“Hello, I am Ruan Yunzhen,” Ruan Yunzhen nodded slightly, then pointed to Lin Wuque beside her, “He is Lin Wuque.”
After the introductions, she didn't want to engage in any more pointless small talk and went straight to the point: "I wonder if Commander Zhao has ever heard of the name Zhou Shihhan?"
Zhao Chenxiao frowned slightly: "Zhou Shihhan?"
"Yes, you know her?"
Ruan Yunzhen's tone was questioning, but her face showed absolute certainty.
"To be honest, Miss Ruan, I do know a woman named Zhou Shihhan, but I don't know if she is the one you are looking for."
"Please ask Chief Zhao to tell me everything about her. I will make my own judgment."
"The Zhou Shihhan I know is a student at S University in Rufeng City. She awakened both spatial and purification abilities at the beginning of the apocalypse. A month into the apocalypse, she and her boyfriend Song Linran set up a base called Savior."
As Zhao Chenxiao explained, his brow furrowed even more.
"Because she possesses purification abilities, she has many followers. The Savior Base has over ten thousand ability users, and over a thousand of them are at level five or above. In particular, the deputy base leader, Song Linran, has already reached the peak of level seven and is rumored to be breaking through to level eight soon."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Yunzhen immediately confirmed that the Zhou Shihan mentioned by Zhao Chenxiao was the same Zhou Shihan who took away the original owner's jade bracelet. Both the space and the purification corresponded to the jade bracelet space.
More importantly, in the original owner's previous life before the jade bracelet was lost, Song Linran was the original owner's boyfriend, but in this life, he became Zhou Shihan's.
This is really taking advantage of the original owner of the body.
However, Song Linran doesn't seem like a good person.
