346 The Courageous First Step

“Dad, I understand you. I really do.

“What you did with Karin before was alright, but you don’t have to…”

Lin Shuang thought about it and convinced herself that she had to persuade her father.

It would be terrible if he got addicted to it.

“What do you know?!

“I was doing an important experiment!

“If we succeed, it’ll be a great thing for our country!

“It was your Uncle Zhang who first discovered this.

“He said, the very activity… could increase one’s strength.

“I’m here to verify it myself! It’s not what you think…”

Lin Liye explained with a red face.

“Ah… So that’s how it is…”

Lin Shuang nodded, not fully understanding it.

Could it really work…?

That’s right!

Lin Shuang remembered that she had watched Wang Ran and Tang Tang’s exercise the entire night, as well as Wang Ran and the two white-haired girls’ paired exercise.

They seemed to exercise together whenever they were free. No wonder they were so strong.

Even her father seemed to think so. It seemed that this method had some merit to it.

Lin Shuang had a deep obsession with becoming stronger.

When she was in the capital, she was immersed in training every day.

Unfortunately, she had long plateaued.

This time, Lin Shuang had also advanced to rank-six through the tense battle in the pyramid.

If this could really improve her strength…

Lin Shuang glanced at Wang Ran.

A hundred sessions should be enough for her to reach rank-seven!

If that was the case, she would not be losing much…

After thinking for a while, Lin Shuang steeled her mind.

Now, it all depended on taking the initiative for the first step.

Everyone returned to the hut.

Outside the house, Su Xiaoyu and Lin Momo were looking at their iPads, bored.

With a portable hand-powered generator, they could keep electricity running.

“Ah, Master, you’re back!

“Was it fun outside?”

Lin Momo pounced on him, airbags cushioning the impact.

“Yes, it was quite fun. I can take you there tomorrow night to experience it.”

Wang Ran made a comparison and found that Lin Momo’s airbags weres bigger than Selena’s.

But Selena’s hold on his body was tighter.

“Master, we don’t need to keep watch at night, do we?” Lin Momo asked, shaking her head.

“Okay, I’ll let you rest tonight.”

Wang Ran nodded.

“Comrade Wang Ran, I’ll keep watch tonight.

“I can do this much.”

Lin Liye took the initiative to speak.

He had caused some trouble, so it would be best if he made up for it.

“I’ll leave it in yours hands!”

Wang Ran brought the girls into the house.

Lin Shuang stood at the door, pacing back and forth.

She could not take the first step.

Lin Liye looked at his daughter. As someone who had been through this, he knew very well what his daughter was conflicted about.

“Lin Shuang, if you want to go in, then go in.

“Comrade Wang Ran is very reliable. There’s no need to doubt this.

“Sometimes, the door to a new world can only be opened by decisively taking the first step.”

Lin Liye patted Lin Shuang’s shoulder and encouraged her.

“Mm! I know, Dad!”

Lin Shuang nodded, and her eyes narrowed with determination.

Lin Shuang took a deep breath and went straight to Wang Ran’s wooden house. She pushed the door open and walked in.

“Phew… I can finally have a cigarette.”

Lin Liye turned around and lit a cigarette.

He didn’t dare to smoke when his daughter was around.

Before he could finish his cigarette, Lin Liye saw more than twenty figures walking toward him.

Without a doubt, it must be because of what happened just now…

Lin Liye took a few steps forward with a cigarette in his mouth.

“Brother George, that’s him!

“This is the guy who didn’t pay and even hired someone to kill Xiaoli,” said a person who looked like an attendant.

“Oh? An outsider?

“How dare you stir up trouble in my territory!”

A dark-skinned middle-aged man strode out.

He was the manager of the red-light district along the coastline, George.

“I’m sorry, I’m a regular.

“Your girl tried to set me up.

“1 gram per shot. Does she really think I’m an idiot?”

Lin Liye glared at George.

“1 gram per shot???”

George was stunned.

Not even he could afford those rates.

“Brother George, perhaps Xiaoli saw that he’s a foreigner and wanted to rip him off,” the lackey said softly.

“Hmph…

“It’s true that she’s in the wrong, but you did not have to kill her,

“This has complicated matters.”

George knew that he was in the wrong, but he had to make his stand.

“I don’t disagree that killing her was excessive.

“How about this? I have 50 grams of gold here. Take it as compensation.

“What do you think?”

Lin Liye threw the gold bar over.

George touched the gold bar, feeling a little conflicted.

It was not a loss.

However, he had brought so many people here. It would be a little embarrassing to turn around now.

Just then, Oman walked out of the cabin next door.

She had been here to exercise with Zhang Guozhu.

“A female zombie?”

George saw Oman at a glance.

The female zombie was a Tank-type, but had a pretty face.

“How about this? Give me the female zombie, and we’ll call it a day,” George said with a smile.

“Ah! What!”

Oman trembled.

What was going on? Was someone trying to snatch her away?

That won’t do!

She only had Zhang Guozhu in her heart!

“Guo! Someone is bullying me!” Oman called out to the cabin in a shy voice.

“Who the f*ck dares to bully my Oman?!”

Zhang Guozhu walked out of the wooden house with a machete in his hand.

Lin Liye blew out a ring of smoke at the side and grinned.

He had acted as if it was just a business transaction, but it was obvious that it was more than that.

‘My Oman, huh? Tsk tsk tsk…’

“It seems that you don’t intend to resolve this matter peacefully…

“In that case…

“Brothers, attack! Kill them!”

At George’s command, his underlings rushed forward.

Most of them were rank-two or three Awakened Ones. There were also a few silver-eyed and golden-eyed zombies.

Lin Liye lit another cigarette and leaned against the car door.

‘I’ll leave the showing off to Zhang Guozhu.’

Zhang Guozhu held his machete and fought the group.

As a rank-five Awakened One, Zhang Guozhu could easily deal with these minions. He quickly killed half of them.

Oman’s eyes glimmered.

Her Guozhu was so dashing…
