Women naturally admire strength, and this is even more apparent during the apocalypse.
Of course, if itās not voluntary, or if someone reports it to the patrol team, the nature of the situation changes.
In that case, it violates the safety regulations of the shelter, and the patrol team will take strong action against it.
Overall, this kind of transactional relationship is in a gray area, and hasnāt been formally regulated yet.
But for someone like Elder Lin to pimp out his own woman, itās the first time people have encountered such a thing.
No one knows if this violates the safety regulations.
"So, how about it? Yes or no, give me an answer!" Elder Lin said angrily.
Old Liu hesitated. He never had much luck with women due to his ugly appearance and old age, and being an ordinary person.
Having worked as a miner for years, he had earned some superpower stones, but lost them all at the gambling table.
Today, he finally won, making a killing, and regardless of whether Elder Lin mentioned it, he planned to see some ladies that evening.
But what kind of looks could those women have? The truly attractive ones have long been involved with superpower users.
Even though Elder Lin was no good, he was at least a superpower user and had a legitimate job with the patrol team.
Otherwise, how could Zhu Linlin possibly stay with him, enduring his abuse?
Thinking of Zhu Linlinās petite figure, Old Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! I agree!"
Elder Lin burst into hearty laughter and immediately shouted, "Iāll throw the dice this time!"
With that, he reached for the dice on the table.
Just then, a scream suddenly rang out from the front gate.
Then they heard someone outside pleading for mercy.
"Captain Wu, Captain Ge, spare us, spare us."
"We just got tired from mining and wanted a little fun."
With a bang, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Then they saw Wu Ying leading Uncle Ge and others rushing in.
Wu Ying snorted coldly, glanced around, and immediately spotted Elder Lin trying to blend into the crowd.
He immediately hardened his gaze and shouted, "Arrest them all!"
With that, he swiftly dashed to Elder Linās side and grabbed Elder Linās shoulder.
Suddenly, Elder Linās whole body trembled. He turned his head, the flush from gambling on his face replaced with a bright smile.
"Oh, Xiaowu, what brings you here?"
Wu Ying remained expressionless and said, "Daoist Lin, come with me for a walk."
Elder Lin became a bit flustered and hurriedly explained, "Xiaowu, you know me, Iām getting old, I just like to wander around. Itās my day off, Iām not on duty, and I came here to see old friends and play a couple of rounds. Surely youāre not going to arrest me?"
"Besides, the shelterās safety regulations donāt say anything about not playing cards. People still play cards during festivals, right?"
He turned his head to the crowd and shouted.
A lot of gamblers immediately started shouting along with him.
"Yeah, yeah, weāre using our own earned money to play cards, is that not allowed?"
"Captain Wu, why are you arresting us? Weāre not breaking the security regulations."
"Exactly, Captain Wu, on what grounds are you arresting us?"
"Weāre not stealing or robbing."
...
A group of gamblers cried out in grievance, feeling it was unreasonable for the patrol team to make arrests.
Some even thought the patrol team was meddling too much, that spending the superpower stones they earned from mining on gambling was their own business, nothing to do with the team.
Of course, those who thought this were the ones who won superpower stones today.
However, there were also those who lost superpower stones today, each secretly delighted.
Thinking maybe their owed superpower stones would be written off today.
With so much support, Elder Lin gained a bit more courage, smiled at Wu Ying, and said, "Xiaowu, Iām an old friend of Mr. Liang and also acquainted with Dr. Yang. Canāt you give me some face?"
"How about this, you continue your work, Iāll leave first. If thereās any issue, Iāll personally talk to Mr. Liang, alright?"
He had already mentioned Liang Yuan.
In the past, Wu Ying might have hesitated since Liang Yuan was mentioned.
But now, Wu Ying had received orders from Mr. Liang himself.
His face showed a hint of a sneer as he said, "Daoist Lin, itās precisely on Mr. Liangās order that Iām here to arrest you."
Elder Linās face changed dramatically, and he exclaimed in shock, "What? Mr. Liang wants to arrest me? Thatās impossible!"
"I have a life-saving relationship with Mr. Liang, weāre from the same neighborhood, and we fought off mutant frogs and even dealt with Deng Hu together."
"Itās impossible!"
Wu Yingās expression was calm as he said, "You know best what youāve done recently, donāt play dumb, come with me. Iām giving face to Mr. Liang by not using force."
Elder Lin turned pale; his superpower was the Golden Light Technique, which only created various special effects-like illusions.
Faced with Wu Yingās shadow superpower, he had no chance of winning.
In truth, he was just an old man with a constitution stronger than ordinary people.
Seeing Wu Yingās firm stance, his heart turned cold.
He forced a smile and said, "Alright, there must be some misunderstanding, Iāll go with you."
"Heh, thatās good." Wu Ying raised an eyebrow, surprised that Elder Lin was willing to cooperate.
He then turned to leave with Elder Lin, while the others cleared the place and apprehended the underground casino organizers.
On the way, Elder Lin gave a nearby gambler a meaningful look and quietly said, "Hurry, go find Dr. Yang, and tell him to get Liang Yuan to save me."
