Chapter 438

“You’re also a woman, yet you insist on using the most vicious and malicious words to insult me.

If you were simply forthright and confessed your feelings to Jiang Xing, told him your heart, I wouldn’t care so much. I might even think you were brave and confident.

But while liking him, you also try your best to demean me, to throw dirt on me.

Who are you looking down on? Me? Or all the women after the apocalypse?

Is it in your eyes that all successful women owe everything they have to men?

Lu Xiaoyan, do you know how ridiculous you are?”

Lin Qianhuan looked down at Lu Xiaoyan at her feet, finding her particularly laughable and insignificant.

“Miss Lin.”

Xiang Yunduan stood up somewhat nervously, hesitating for a long time before speaking softly, “Can you spare her life?

I know her actions were indeed excessive, but after all, she has used her abilities to save many people.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Could you let her leave and fend for herself, so she can use her abilities to save more survivors?”

Lin Qianhuan glanced at Xiang Yunduan, naturally understanding his meaning.

He simply couldn’t bear to see Lu Xiaoyan die. After living together for several years, one should have some feelings, even for a pet, let alone a teammate who’s always around.

Lin Qianhuan looked down at Lu Xiaoyan, then turned and returned to her seat, continuing to eat attentively.

She wouldn’t take someone’s life just because of an insulting remark from Lu Xiaoyan.

However, a death sentence could be avoided, but not punishment. Lin Qianhuan’s fingertip twitched slightly, and sharp mental threads suddenly pierced into Lu Xiaoyan’s mouth, severing her tongue at the root.

A painful wail arose, but Lin Qianhuan’s expression didn’t change at all as she lowered her head to drink a sip of lukewarm spare rib soup.

“Since you can’t speak, then there’s no need for a tongue.”

Everyone present shuddered and tremblingly continued to eat, forcing themselves to ignore Lu Xiaoyan, who was rolling around on the ground in agony.

Having been with Lin Qianhuan for so long, most of them had thought she was cheerful, generous, and a very easygoing expert.

But after experiencing this, everyone present realized one thing.

Never joke around with Lin Qianhuan just because she seems easy to talk to, and never test her bottom line.

Otherwise, the next person to have their tongue cut out might be themselves.

The farce quickly passed. Lin Qianhuan yawned lazily, glanced at Jiang Xing, then lowered her head again, quietly eating the peeled shrimp he had prepared.

“Men, being too handsome is also a sin.”

She sighed quietly. Jiang Xing’s action of peeling shrimp suddenly paused, and he felt his hair stand on end, shivering.

“But this is natural…”

He tried to defend himself somewhat aggrievedly, pondering for a long time before gently poking Lin Qianhuan’s arm.

“Otherwise, you can give me a mask, and I’ll cover my face.

If you’re still not satisfied, I can also ruin this face.

But you have to promise me not to dislike me after I become ugly, and you can’t throw me away.”

Although the conversation between the two was very quiet, it still seemed very abrupt in the otherwise silent room.

Xiang Yunduan and the others silently ate their food, not daring to say a word, wishing they had intermittent deafness.

Lin Qianhuan took a bite of shrimp: “Eat, I was just kidding, don’t take it seriously.”

Jiang Xing blinked, not saying anything else. This particularly torturous lunch finally passed, and Xingluo Base welcomed the dark night.

Nestled in bed, Lin Qianhuan seemed to be dozing, but in reality, she had moved her consciousness into the space, searching up and down through the system store.

She was about to fight the Salvation Society, and although Rose Base was not their headquarters, it was still a sizable branch.

If this battle was won, it would surely boost the morale of all mankind, and also learn more about the secrets of the Salvation Society and various experimental data.

“System, are there any recommended products?”

[Which category are you referring to, Host? Weapons? Pills? Grass seeds or other tools?]

Lin Qianhuan pondered for a moment: “I want something that can hide my figure, and also shield my aura and presence.

Call it an invisibility cloak 2.0 version.”

The system was silent for a long time, as if searching for something, and finally gave a negative answer.

[There is no such product at present. Host, are you planning to sneak into Rose Base with this item, and then cooperate with Jiang Xing and the others from the inside?]

Lin Qianhuan nodded: “That’s what I mean.

The zombie emperor’s sense of smell and hearing are so powerful that even if I can hide my figure, I will definitely expose my whereabouts in front of him.

This action is extraordinary, the enemy is too powerful, and we are far lower than the Salvation Society in terms of both numbers and strength.

If we want to win, we must use extraordinary means.”

[I’m sorry, Host, there is no such product in the current system store. Please find another way to complete this mission.]

[Now issuing a limited-time mission: Wipe out the members of the Salvation Society in Rose Base and achieve victory.]

[Mission time limit: 30 days.]

[Mission reward: A sea, land, and air amphibious vehicle ×1.]

Lin Qianhuan only felt a headache. She withdrew her consciousness from the space, lay back on the bed somewhat tiredly, and dozed off.

Jiang Xing carefully approached and gently hugged her, carefully massaging her shoulders and neck.

“Tired?”

Lin Qianhuan shook her head slightly: “No, I just feel a bit confused, I’ll be fine after a sleep.”

She had just suddenly noticed a problem with herself.

Now, whenever she encounters a problem, her first thought is to search the system store for suitable props.

Although she has a system, she should make reasonable use of all the resources inside.

But being too dependent on the system store will only make her slowly lose her ability to think, becoming dull and sluggish.

In the apocalypse, these two words are taboo.

“Jiang Xing, how do you think I should successfully complete this mission under the siege of the zombie emperor and many experimental subjects?”

She leaned quietly in his arms, her tone tinged with fatigue and helplessness.

“I have to admit, the enemy is far more powerful than we imagined.

The Salvation Society holds the zombie virus, researching various experimental subjects day and night, throwing them into battle to fight against humans.

Humans get tired, get injured, die, and even mutate into the monsters they hate the most because of being infected with the zombie virus.

From the beginning, humans have been at a disadvantage, and there is no way to turn the tables in the short term.

Jiang Xing, when do you think humanity will usher in the final victory?

One year? Five years? Ten years?

Or will humanity still be entangled with the Salvation Society until I die?”

Noticing that Lin Qianhuan was a little anxious, Jiang Xing gently patted her back to soothe her, his eyes full of heartache.

As the base leader, as the hope of the major bases, she was bearing too much.

Jiang Xing knew that what he could do now was to help her ease her emotions and reduce her stress.
