Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Need Me to Help You Put It On?
Inside the Shelter.
Lin Yi listened to Chen Youyou’s report and nodded.
With Immanuel’s addition, his corn-based fuel technology was already prepared for application.
In terms of making flour, Louis built a basic mill and several hundred people went to work.
The number of teachers is also complete, allowing the school to be established.
A look of anticipation flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes: "So... has the person who can brew wine arrived?"
"Four of them!"
"Haha!" Lin Yi laughed heartily.
After the shelter upgrade, the shop began selling cucumbers, tomatoes, and pumpkins.
Once he had a bit more money, he needed to quickly expand the farmland and apply this skill.
"Is there anything else?"
"Immanuel wants to produce some things. I let him make a list when he’s free so you can see it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi nodded and then turned to Annie, who was currently chowing down heartily.
"Annie, have you named that little chick yet?"
"I have! It’s called Emperor!"
"Is it a rooster?"
"I... I’m sure it’s a rooster! But if it’s a hen, I can call it Empress... this inspiration comes from ancient Chinese texts!"
"...Then let me congratulate the Emperor or Empress on welcoming its first subject."
Lin Yi forced a laugh, quickly finished his lunch, and returned to the highway outside of real-world Paris.
There was a town ahead, but it was quite quiet.
Riding his motorcycle into the town, he saw a strange scene.
Three dog-sized cats pounced on a lone zombie, tearing open its throat.
This group of meowing cats seemed to be cooperating in battle...
It seems cats can also mutate!
Lin Yi immediately turned his bike around but didn’t expect the mutant cats to have such good hearing. Upon hearing the human noise, they immediately abandoned their meal and chased after the new prey.
The motorcycle made a slight rumbling sound, and the speed increased to ten kilometers per hour... then twenty, forty, sixty kilometers...
"Meow!" The cats called after him, half meowing, half roaring...
"Damn it, these beasts!—"
Before Lin Yi could finish his words, one of the mutant cats bit the rear wheel of the motorcycle.
The tire blew, and the cat was thrown off!
The rider Lin Yi and his beloved motorcycle started rolling on the road.
Finally, the motorcycle crashed into a roadblock.
And he flew a full twenty meters away.
Melanie shouted, "Boss! Wake up!!"
"Don’t shout; I’m not asleep..." Lin Yi’s voice was a bit hoarse, and he struggled to stand up.
He lost a full 17 points of Life Force, which for an ordinary person would be fatal long ago.
Fortunately, he only had multiple abrasions and a slight concussion.
"Damn... how many bikes will these damn bastards wreck before they’re satisfied?!"
He saw the tragic state of his motorcycle and roared angrily.
At that moment, Melanie screamed again, "Boss, to your left!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi didn’t even turn to look at what was on his left but directly transported back to the shelter, appearing behind his laptop.
He checked the screen, waited a moment, then returned to reality without saying a word.
At this time in the field, two cats were searching for the suddenly vanished human, while another was licking its wounds,
Then, Lin Yi, covered in blood, appeared out of thin air.
Smelling the scent of fresh blood, the cats hissed and bared their fangs.
But immediately, with a gunshot, one of the mutant cats’ heads was instantly halved.
The mutant cat’s brain matter splattered all over the road.
The remaining two mutant cats screamed and surrounded him from different directions, trying to form a pincer attack.
Their movements were too fast!
If he didn’t activate Combat Reflex, Lin Yi could hardly track their movements.
The two mutant cats lunged at him from both sides with astonishing speed, one aiming for his head, the other for his legs.
But before their sharp teeth could reach him, Lin Yi leaped back and launched an attack from above.
"Meow?" One mutant cat meowed in confusion.
Then its body split in two and fell to the ground, while the other cat fared slightly better, getting decapitated and dying on the spot.
"Boss? Boss!"
"Shut up and let me catch my breath!" Lin Yi panted slightly, sitting on the road.
He had drastically increased his Reaction Speed in a short amount of time, which significantly depleted his Physical Strength, especially since he had a motorcycle crash at the beginning.
Five minutes later.
The Shelter, inside Mark’s laboratory.
Lin Yi lay on a hospital bed, wrapped head to toe in bandages, looking like a mummy,
Martha, dressed as a nurse, showed a face of concern: "Professor, will he be alright?"
"Don’t worry, he’s an Advanced Professional. Please escort unrelated personnel out of here."
"Well... alright..." Martha didn’t want to leave Lin Yi at all but could only depart, glancing back repeatedly.
"How do you feel?" Old Mark asked.
When the girl was not present, the smile on Lin Yi’s face immediately vanished, showing a grimace.
"...It hurts like hell!"
"That’s normal; you have extensive soft tissue injuries, but somehow, your muscles are also damaged. Is this from using Combat Reflex?"
"...Not exactly."
"I’ll give you an injection to help your tissues heal faster and also a pain reliever and a sedative. You should feel better when you wake up."
The professor said, first feeding Lin Yi some Magical Lake Water, then giving him two injections before leaving the laboratory with some documents.
In less than a minute, Lin Yi fell sound asleep.
Three minutes later.
Martha quietly entered the laboratory, her eyes moving past the white screen, fixating on the boss.
She unconsciously licked her lips.
Then, blushing deeply, she took out her little diary hidden away and quickly slipped inside...
The sun was setting.
Dinner time was approaching.
Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
His body still hurt, but the pain had significantly subsided, and the bandages had been removed.
However, he realized he was completely naked, with only a thin blanket covering him.
At that moment, Martha came into the tent with a tray of food. Seeing Lin Yi awake, her face immediately brightened.
"Boss! How do you feel? Do you want me to call the professor? Or... would you like to eat something to regain energy?"
"No need, I’m mostly fine now. You haven’t started to eat yet, have you?"
"No, Boss, but..."
"No ’but,’ turn around!" Lin Yi said, conjuring some clothes to wear.
His body was covered in bruises, and there were three stitches on his face, but luckily his prominent nose was intact.
"Boss!" Martha called out.
She obediently turned around but rebelliously turned her head again, peeking sneakily from the corner of her eye.
"Boss! Do you need my help getting dressed?"
"No, I can handle it myself!"
"Alright..." Martha said, feeling downcast.
However, as if thinking of something, her face began to flush again, and an ambiguous smile appeared on her lips...
