Chapter 60: Strangers

Chapter 60: Strangers

Thinking of Devil God’s past records, Tu Tu can understand why its master hates and fears him at the same time. After thinking for a while, Tu Tu patted Zhu Lin’s hand and said, "Didn’t Master say you want to refine more water element talismans?"

Hearing Tu Tu’s question, Zhu Lin nodded. She stood up, sat on the floor by the low table, and took out a writing brush, a bottle containing the blood of the mutated wild boar, and a stack of papers. With Tu Tu’s help, Zhu Lin began to refine the water element talisman.

Two hours later, she put down her writing brush and looked out the window. Seeing that the sun was already hanging in the bright sky and the temperature was starting to rise, she said, "The sun came out earlier today."

Tu Tu followed her gaze and said, "It seems that the temperature today will be higher than yesterday."

Hearing what the rabbit said, Zhu Lin nodded in agreement. She looked away, looking thoughtfully at the remaining blood and paper. A few seconds later, she said, "Since we can’t go out, let’s refine some ice element talismans. It should be useful in this kind of weather."

Tu Tu nodded, and it took another hour for them to use up all the materials. The moment Zhu Lin put all the talismans and her writing brush back into the ice flower pendant, someone knocked on her door.

Before Zhu Lin stood up, Tu Tu had already run to the door and looked out through the gap under the door. When Tu Tu saw the four pairs of military boots, the rabbit said, [Master, there are four strangers outside.]

Zhu Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, then stood up and walked towards the door. Before opening the door, she picked up Tu Tu and let the rabbit sit on her shoulder. As soon as the door opened, she saw four men in the same black uniform standing there expressionless.

The soldiers were taken aback when they saw her. But because of years of training, their expressions remain the same.

Zhu Lin observed them for a while and asked, "Do you need anything?"

Hearing her voice, the captain felt a strange force that made him feel calm and peaceful without reason. He frowned slightly and said, "Good morning, Miss. I’m sorry to disturb you at this time, but we need you to come with us."

Zhu Lin looked at the captain and asked calmly: "Why should I follow you?"

"Our commander has something to discuss with you, and you need to follow us to the command center in the central area." The captain replied after a moment of silence.

She looked at the four of them, then at the sky through the large windows at the end of the corridor, and said, "It’s hot outside. If your commander has anything to discuss with me, please let him come to see me. I will stay at home until sunset."

After speaking, Zhu Lin nodded to them, and then closed the door. Looking at the closed door, a soldier glanced at his captain and asked, "Captain, what should we do now?"

Teng Bai thought for a while, looked at them, and said, "You guys stay here and protect her. I will go back and report to Commander Mao."

After he said that, the three soldiers saluted and said at the same time. "Yes, Sir."

Teng Bai glanced at the closed door again, then left in a hurry. Coming out of the apartment building, he felt his skin hurt from the sunlight, so he quickened his pace.

Seeing him coming back alone, the driver looked at his back, but saw no one there, and asked, "Captain, where is the target?"

Teng Bai got into the military vehicle and said, "Go back to the command center."

After receiving the order, the soldier started the car and drove to the command center without asking any further questions. Not long after, they had arrived at the basement of the command center building.

Teng Bai got out of the car and said to the driver: "Wait here. I will be back in a while."

After closing the car door, Teng Bai walked to the emergency stairs and climbed up to the tenth floor. Seeing him coming, the two soldiers guarding the door of the command center saluted him and opened the door for him.

Walking into the spacious command center, Teng Bai saw Mao Yan standing in the middle of the room, looking at the big screen.

He saluted Mao Yan and said, "Commander, the target asked you to visit her because she said it was too hot outside, and she didn’t want to come here. Since our mission is to escort her, we didn’t dare to force her to come here."

Listening to Teng Bai’s report, Mao Yan thought for a moment and said, "This young woman is indeed different from ordinary people."

Teng Bai observed Mao Yan’s expression carefully for a while. But except for his usual calm expression, Teng Bai couldn’t see anything else.

A few seconds later, Mao Yan turned around and said, "Let’s go and visit her."

After speaking, he walked out of the command center. Teng Bai looked at the big screen and watched countless small screens showing the real situation in the military base. He frowned slightly and walked out of the command center.

In the living room, Zhu Lin was busy growing vegetables. Since she plans to sell food, she needs to prepare more vegetables and fruits before sunset. While Zhu Lin was watching the green tomatoes hanging on the tomato vine slowly change color, someone knocked on her door again.

Thinking that the visitors should be those people again, she glanced at the tomatoes that were still growing. After thinking about it, she put everything back into the Qiankun bag, and then got up from the floor to open the door.

This time, when Zhu Lin opened the door, there was a middle-aged man standing in front of the four men who came before. She looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Are you the one who wants to discuss something with me?"
