"Why isn't Chenchen here yet? It's already so late, he's still not home for dinner. "
Mother Gu Wanqiu placed the freshly cooked pork ribs on the dining table. She glanced at Lin Zhounian who was reading the newspaper.
"You don't care where your son went at all? Damn old man, he's not giving me any peace of mind! "
Lin Zhounian immediately cried out in grievance. "Didn't he leave a note? That brat doesn't listen to anyone now, coming and going as he pleases, treating the house like a hotel! "
Lin Xiao looked at the sky outside, it was already noon. In an environment without the internet, the only way to get news from the outside was through the newspaper.
And the newspaper was Redwinian's tightly controlled mouthpiece.
So what they read was what Redwinian wanted them to see.
"When will these days come to an end …" Lin Xiao sighed.
"Forget it, let's just eat first. That brat told me before that he's working as a trainer in a gym. It seems like it's true. With his current size, he eats like a pig, a bucket of rice can be finished in less than ten minutes. It's such a waste not to work out. "Lin Zhounian pulled over a chair as he grumbled.
"There's no point in talking about all this, the price of food has gone up again today." Gu Wanqiu said helplessly as she sat down. "I heard that the city's supplies are getting tighter. I'm afraid something is going to happen again. "
"This world …" Lin Zhounian lowered his head as he grumbled, not sure what he was complaining about.
He had not opened a shop recently, and the supplies were all gone, so he planned to keep those things for his own use.
Now, his entire family was living off their savings. Rumor had it that Redwinian was starting a program to replace supplies with labor. Who knew if it was true.
"Why is there a war all of a sudden?" Lin Zhounian sighed.
"Xiaoxiao, time for dinner." He called out to Lin Xiao who was reading the newspaper.
"Coming." Lin Xiao looked at Lin Sheng's usual seat, and suddenly felt a little worried. "Did you leave Chenchen's dishes?" she asked.
"He's here. Don't worry." Gu Wanqiu gave her daughter a big piece of braised pork ribs.
He also reached out with his chopsticks, wanting to pick up a piece, but thinking that there was almost no meat left at home, and the price of meat outside was rising day by day, he immediately held back and picked up a vegetable cabbage instead.
As soon as she put the cabbage into her bowl, Gu Wanqiu saw that there was a piece of braised pork in her bowl.
Her husband, Lin Zhounian, lowered his head and ate quietly.
Gu Wanqiu's heart warmed up. She suddenly felt that even if the world was difficult, as long as her family supported each other, no matter how difficult it was, they could get through it!
…
…
Bang!!
Lin Sheng's palm collided with the black-haired woman's right leg.
The two of them took a step back and continued to fight without saying a word.
The flames around them burned more and more fiercely.
Lying on the floor of the guild hall were motorcyclists and guild disciples.
The remaining five Vault Guards surrounded a giant purple cocoon and hacked at it in a frenzy.
The heavy sound of fists and legs clashing shook the flames.
Lin Sheng's mouth and nose were full of dried blood clots.
The woman's face was pale, and the black feathers on her back had already burst out.
Both of them were at the end of their tether.
Lin Sheng had the continuous nourishment of Saint Power, while the woman had the dark powers of the Black Feather to continuously heal her wounds.
Both of them were evenly matched, and neither was willing to give in.
Time passed slowly.
Finally.
Lin Sheng slammed his palm on the woman's neck, and at the cost of a kick to his chest, he spat out a small mouthful of blood and knocked her out.
"It's over." He grabbed the woman's throat. His palm tightened.
Crack.
A crisp sound rang out.
The woman slowly lost her breath. She was completely motionless.
On the ground not far away, the male motorcyclist had his chest pierced by two heavy swords, and died on the spot.
Lin Sheng shook off the corpse in his hand, feeling a little dizzy, and quickly reached out to the wall beside him to support himself.
Although he had won this time, he had expended too much energy. The injuries on his body were far more than any of the previous times.
"Looks like the clubhouse can no longer operate …" He glanced at the few corpses on the ground in the corridor.
The disciples of the Iron Fist Society had suffered heavy casualties in this ambush.
If there were a few more such ambushes, the Iron Fist Society would have to close down. Just the pension alone would be enough to bankrupt them.
"I hope this can be resolved once and for all …" Lin Sheng smiled bitterly as he straightened his body. "Fortunately, the bombs had been defused before, or this would have been a disaster …"
He could not be bothered with the fire in the clubhouse, and strode out of the corridor to the main hall.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he looked out through the door, and vaguely saw a tall and thin man standing quietly by the iron gate of the clubhouse.
The man was in his thirties, wearing a light yellow trench coat, a yellow round hat, and a pair of grey square-rimmed glasses. A black silk scarf was pinned to his chest. He seemed to have just attended a funeral.
Standing in the main hall, the moment Lin Sheng saw the man, he felt goosebumps all over his body. He took a step back, and did not dare to breathe.
Not because of anything else, but because the man looked exactly like Major Dondi, whom he had killed before!
Unlike Tondi, this person was just standing there, and the dark energy in his body was like an uncontrollable flame that was burning and dissipating.
Ordinary people might not be able to see this phenomenon, but Lin Sheng was in his half-dragon form, and his eyes could see the abnormality of the man. This dark energy was much stronger than the two people he had just killed combined!
"I hope he doesn't see me …" He slowly stepped back, not daring to make a sound.
But unfortunately …
The man looked up at the weather, took off his hat and hung it on the iron gate, and strode towards the clubhouse.
"Run!!" Lin Sheng did not hesitate to turn and run.
A few plumes of black smoke brushed past him, and condensed into vault guards, charging towards the man.
"Where do you think you're going?"
A yellow lightning flashed past the vault guards, and instantly landed on the ground in front of Lin Sheng.
The lightning formed into the man in the trench coat by the iron gate.
Lin Sheng quickly stopped in his tracks. His muscles tensed up as he stared at the man.
"Whose side are you on?" He asked in a low voice.
The two people just now were obviously not on this guy's side. Otherwise, this man would not have waited until the two were dead before coming in.
The man pursed his lips, and touched the small tuft of yellow hair on his head.
"Let me ask you something. Did you kill my brother, Dondi?"
Lin Sheng's expression did not change.
"Dondi? I don't know. I'm just an ordinary branch leader, a small soldier in the Ironfist Society. Do you think I have the strength to kill your brother? "
"Yeah, I don't think so either." The man nodded. "That's why I've been waiting outside for so long. Then tell me, who's the killer? "
"I don't know …"
"If you say you don't know again, I'll kill you." The man's expression was calm, his back leaning against the wall, not the slightest bit concerned about the spreading fire.
"I was the one who took the initiative to accept this mission. All for the investigation of my brother's death. So, to be honest, you still have a chance to live. "
Lin Sheng was silent.
"I really don't know," he continued. "At that time, Major Dondi had just left the house when the explosion happened. My men and I rushed out, but before we could see him …"
"You're lying!!" The man's expression changed. "Again, did you kill him?!"
"No!!"
"You're still lying! Die!! "The man's right arm suddenly exploded, turning into countless yellow lightning snakes that grabbed at Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng's pupils reflected countless yellow lightning bolts. He had no time to dodge, the man's speed was too fast, completely beyond his current reaction speed.
Not to mention that he was seriously injured, and his reflexes were even slower.
"When the world wailed in pain, I dug out the darkness from my heart and buried it, leaving only light."
A crisp, young voice suddenly appeared in front of Lin Sheng.
The yellow lightning swept toward Lin Sheng, and was instantly caught by a white figure in front of him.
Khadula was holding the unconscious Elba in one hand and the yellow lightning in the other. His pale face revealed a terrifying murderous intent.
He appeared in front of Lin Sheng as if he had teleported.
For a moment, their figures overlapped, and countless white arms spread out in all directions like flowing water.
"Now, what do you want to do to my light?!"
