Demon Fetus: "!!!"
The demon that caused it to lose half its body is back!
It instinctively tried to escape, but it was too late. The fire had already surrounded it, and going out meant certain death.
"Are you and that spider from the same family?" Miao Yin said something the demon fetus couldn't understand at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, flames rushed towards him.
The demonic fetus screamed, clutching its intestines. It felt as if its skin was charred and its eyes were blinded. Black, hard lumps solidified on its body. The next second after the flames dissipated, a small knife pierced its throat, rendering it unable to use its sonic waves anymore.
Wearing gloves, Miao Yin broke off its charred limbs, then cut open its chest and stomach. She took out an unopened package from her spatial storage, removed the cardboard, and stuffed it into its stomach to prevent the wounds from healing.
After finishing all this, Miao Yin happily picked up the little thing, threw it into a glass jar, put it in her backpack, and made it her neighbor to the little spider.
"The huts on the water can be put into use now."
She was referring to the wooden cabin on the river in the manor, which has now been renovated into an airtight space.
Yan Shuzhou's eyes widened slightly. He had been to the vicinity of that hut before, and although he was curious, he did not dare to ask Miao Yin about its use, keeping his question to himself.
"So that's how that little house was used."
Miao Yin pondered for a moment: "Originally, I planned to give it to Bai Niangzi, but it's fine to let them in as well."
Just as they were chatting, Peng Si, who had finished fighting, suddenly appeared: "Miss Miao."
“Captain Peng? We meet again.” Miao Yin noticed his dusty clothes—“You look even more disheveled.”
"Thanks to you, I'm still alive."
"What do you want from me?"
"No one visits the temple without a reason," and Miao Yin didn't bother with pleasantries.
Peng Si straightened his expression and said in a calm tone, "First of all, thank you for your help just now. Without you, we might not have been able to get away. Everyone is very grateful to you. If you are willing, I can help you apply for a very generous reward at the base."
Miao Yin raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with joy: "That's wonderful."
"Also," Peng Si paused before continuing, "I hope you can help us one more time."
“One of our squads has lost contact, and we don’t know what happened yet. It’s highly likely that they encountered powerful mutants who are well-equipped. If they can’t escape under these circumstances, it will be difficult for the rest of us to rescue them.”
He took a deep breath: "So, Miss Miao, could you help us one more time? Let's make it a deal. I'll apply to the base for payment for you—food, tools, gold... anything is fine."
Miao Yin chuckled: "Captain, stop joking. If, as you say, they really encountered some powerful mutant, how can you be sure I'd survive? Or perhaps..."
She took two steps closer and said softly, "Perhaps your teammates are already dead, their bodies never to be found. What good would it do for me to go?"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Peng Siying's eagle-like eyes instantly sharpened, and he could no longer suppress his imposing aura.
Clearly, what Miao Yin said had offended him, even if it was very likely true.
Actually, I've known about you for a long time.
Peng Si suddenly said.
He stared intently at Miao Yin, his eyes sharp, and uttered three words.
"Leng Mouyin."
Miao Yin, whose name had been called out, narrowed her phoenix eyes, a dark glint flashing in them.
"It's been so long since anyone called me by my surname, I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable. Captain Peng, I don't remember having any history with you, do I?"
"The Leng family in Jingzhou suffered a devastating fire in their courtyard house, killing over a hundred people, including everyone else. You were the only survivor. I had already heard rumors about you back in the army."
"...What kind of rumors?"
"It's nothing, they just say you're greedy and that you started the fire, but there's no evidence for it, so it's probably just baseless accusations."
Peng Si spoke casually, as if he were just chatting about everyday things, but the muscles under his military uniform were subtly tense, ready to spring into action.
"But seeing the fire you used today, the rumors seem more credible."
Miao Yin was silent for a moment, then turned her head slightly, her clear and cold eyes sparkling, and she chuckled.
"Is Captain Peng threatening me?"
Peng Si took a step back, distancing himself from Miao Yin: "I didn't mean that. Whether it's true or false, no one can do anything to you in the short term. I just want an answer."
"Can you make this deal?" he asked seriously.
Miao Yin lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow beneath them, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her serene face.
A few seconds later, she seemed somewhat tempted and said, "Your words are very appealing, but I'm not someone who can be hired just anywhere, Captain Peng. My price—"
Miao Yin looked at him and enunciated each word clearly: "You may not be able to afford it."
"Crash—!" A sound of shattering glass came from above the building. A huge object, mixed with countless fragments, fell like a shower of flowers. Peng Si subconsciously bent down and shielded his eyes with his arm.
Miao Yin also summoned flames in time to protect herself and Yan Shuzhou, and the glass shards were melted clean before they even touched the fire.
The enormous object jumped down and landed directly on a rescue vehicle. The immense gravity caused the roof of the vehicle to cave in, and the deformed metal pieces crushed the residents inside!
Miao Yin looked through the firelight.
It was a mutated human fused with a refrigerator, with limbs extending out of the refrigerator, covered with hard black nails and bits of flesh, and an unusually long neck. It looked like a strangely shaped rubber doll made by a kindergarten child.
There were black marks on the right side of the refrigerator, as if it had been blasted by a grenade, and there was still blood around the mutated man's mouth that hadn't dried, indicating that he had just eaten.
—This is the guy who attacked Jiang Tao's squad!
Miao Yin and Peng Si thought at the same time.
Just as one problem was being resolved, another arose. The rescue team immediately called for alerts and aimed their weapons at the mutant, which was clearly stronger than before.
"Lure it down! Save the residents!" Qiu Jing shouted, firing the first shot to attract the mutants' attention.
The refrigerator-like figure twisted its flexible neck, pushed off the roof with its feet, and ran towards Qiu Jing.
“Tell me what you want! I’ll pay for anything!” Peng Si shouted, grabbing Miao Yin’s shoulder, his eyes filled with anxiety and tension.
Miao Yin was not angered by his actions. Instead, she smiled and placed her hand on the back of his neck. The cold temperature gave Peng Si goosebumps. She leaned close to his ear and spoke slowly.
"I want…………"
Peng Si's heart skipped a beat, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
