Chapter 228: CH 121

Lin Xinghe praised Qin Yan for her quick thinking; entrusting her with the task was the right choice. Qin Yan was in high spirits.

She added, “I’ll go and see if they have any needs…”

Lin Xinghe said: “No need. Go and inform them that we will have a welcome party in the banquet hall on the first floor in the evening. Everyone must attend.” After a while, she pondered slightly and said, “The time will be eight o’clock in the evening. Please prepare some food. Instead of lamb chops like yesterday, just make whatever people eat at their survival bases.”

Qin Yan agreed.

Lin Xinghe asked again, “Where’s Wang Mao?”

Qin Yan said, “He’s dealing with Xu Mo and Su Zikang…” After a while, she looked at the other people around Lin Xinghe and said, “Can we step outside to talk?”

Lin Xinghe said cheerfully, “Okay.”

Saying that, she brought Qin Yan into her bedroom.

Xiao Zang came in without saying a word.

Lin Xinghe ignored him and said directly to Qin Yan, “What do you want to say to me alone?”

Qin Yan whispered uneasily, “I have known Wang Mao for many years, and I know his character very well. He is an ambitious man, and he will not be willing to stop here… He’s not firmly convinced in harmony with zombies and mutant plants. He is different from me. I am willing to follow any decision you make, not because you are the zombie queen, but rather because you are you.”

Lin Xinghe was a little surprised, not because the other was betraying Wang Mao, but because she would phrase the last sentence like that . With Xie Wuan’s arrival, she no longer worried that someone would see through her lies. In front of Qin Yan, she was not particularly shy and even sometimes openly communicated with the livestream audience. When it came to female protagonists, male protagonists, supporting roles, novels and other keywords…

Every time she observed Qin Yan’s expression, the other party had her pair of beautiful eyes downcast. She seemed to be distracted or in a daze.

Now it seemed that she had heard it all.

Lin Xinghe said, “Okay, good to know. Is there anything else?”

Qin Yan opened her mouth and said, “Are you…” She paused, then changed her phrasing and said, “Am I…”

Lin Xinghe interrupted her and said, “You and Wang Mao are of the same race. Your willingness to tell me about Wang Mao’s small actions proves your determination to follow me. I won’t think you can’t be trusted because of your whistleblowing…”

She reached out and pressed the other’s shoulder with a lot of strength.

She smiled slightly, “You are a smart girl and knew to go to a private area to talk about this with me. Remember to pay attention—the walls have ears no matter where you are.”

Qin Yan closed her mouth.

She said thoughtfully, “I’m going to inform the new residents about the welcome party then.”

Lin Xinghe patted her shoulder gently and said, “Ok, go.”

After Qin Yan left, Lin Xinghe invited Xie Wuan, Fu Zhou, and the others to the welcome party.

Lin Xinghe felt that Qi Qing would probably not go, but out of courtesy, she decided to ask.

Considering Qi Qing’s social anxiety, Lin Xinghe wrote a note and stuffed it under the crack of Qi Qing’s door, then knocked.

Soon, her note was pushed back out under the crack of the door.

Somewhat unexpectedly to Lin Xinghe, Qi Qing did not refuse, but asked her—how many people were going to participate? And who, exactly?

Lin Xinghe replied – In addition to us, there were also the NPCs in this examination room. Counting the mutant zombies, there should be more than 100 people.

Qi Qing returned —I’ll think about it. If I want to go, I will show up, and if I don’t show up, don’t worry about me.

Lin Xinghe said there was no problem.

The time for the welcome party was set at eight o’clock in the evening. It was already a quarter past eight when Lin Xinghe arrived.

The banquet hall probably used to be a wedding banquet hall. Now with zombies and a bunch of mutant plants, it didn’t seem as crowded.

Lin Xinghe saw the most dazzling ones in the crowd almost at first sight—the protagonists of this book world.

Qin Yan was undoubtedly beautiful, but compared to the protagonist Shen Zixin, she was incomparable.

Even in the apocalypse, where all kinds of resources are extremely scarce, her skin was creamy and her smile was dazzling, like a precious flower kept in a greenhouse.

Lin Xinghe finally understood why the old mermaid city lord would not hesitate to think that that kind of stunning beauty must be one of the protagonists when he saw Baileen. After all, novels wouldn’t spend too much time or effort on the details of non-important characters. Anyone with an extremely enchanting appearance must be one of the main characters.

Fu Zhou muttered, “Stunning beauty.”

Jiuge, “There’s so much hair.”

Xie Wuan, “Hmph. As expected.”

Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan’s voice again——

“Fu Zhou has an eye disease.”

“Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin.”

“Not as good as Lin Xinghe.”

Lin Xinghe was still admiring Shen Zixin’s good looks, but when she heard Xie Wuan say this, she couldn’t help but get distracted. Her natural looks weren’t bad. She wasn’t absolutely gorgeous compared to Shen Zixin, who was specially crafted by the hand of God.

But women liked to hear other people’s compliments, especially Xie Wuan’s firm and sincere compliments, and this made Lin Xinghe feel a little happy inside.

She quickly recovered.

While she was looking at Shen Zixin, Shen Zixin was also looking at her and the men around her.

When the others came in, their eyes were filled with incredible scrutiny, and some were even whispering in a low voice—

“Is this a high-level zombie?”

“It looks exactly like us…”

“Looks like an ordinary girl…”

“Isn’t that Fu Zhou and Leiting from Area B?”

…

The protagonist group looked at them calmly, but with a hint of trepidation in their eyes.

When Lin Xinghe saw this, her heart immediately sped up.

…This was the sixth night in the exam room.

… It was impossible for Principal Wang to have no backup plan. The protagonist group suddenly came over. According to Qin Yan’s character, it doesn’t look like she would be defect to others, especially the one named Cheng Sheng.

… They were definitely here to destroy the villain!

Lin Xinghe was a little excited. The ones she had encountered before were all mutant zombies and mutant plants. Although their force value was high, they were boring to fight. Fighting against the protagonists was much more interesting than outsmarting beasts, and she could also verify how high the IQs of the protagonists of the world were.
