CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 52: TIE HER UP

Inside the commercial building’s camp.

Lin Yi casually picked up a bundle of wheat and handed it to the Scar-faced Leader, indicating for him to inspect the quality.

This veteran clearly didn’t understand, so he turned to his subordinates and ordered, "Get that big-nosed guy here."

"Yes, Commander!" A soldier quickly ran off with the order and returned shortly after, in just two minutes.

Following the soldier was a short man, most notable for his large hooked nose, nearly twice the size of a normal man’s nose.

After standing still, the hooked-nosed man first scrutinized Lin Yi, then his gaze fell on Chen Youyou, nearly drooling. "Wow, this girl is really pretty!"

Smack!

Without a word, the Scar-faced Leader lifted his hand and gave a loud slap.

"Behave, you fool!" The Scar-faced Leader scolded harshly before handing him the wheat bundle.

The hooked-nosed man, covering his slapped face, reluctantly took the wheat.

He sniffed it first, and his eyes instantly lit up.

Next, he picked a grain of wheat, tossed it into his mouth, and started chewing. "Hmm... wow, the grain is so big! It smells great too... this is top-quality stuff."

The Scar-faced Leader was very satisfied with this assessment, meaning such wheat could brew top-grade beer.

He looked at Lin Yi, his eyes full of anticipation. "How much wheat can you sell us? Oh, and potatoes too!"

"I currently have two and a half tons of wheat and three tons of potatoes, both priced at two and a half Coins. If you make it into flour, remember to save me some," Lin Yi said with a smile.

The Scar-faced Leader was clearly thrilled by the low price of the wheat and quickly led Lin Yi to the fifth floor of the commercial building.

This floor used to be a food court and has now been converted into a large cold storage room.

Having previous trade experience here, Lin Yi easily entered the storage area, teleporting the potatoes and wheat from his Shelter.

Half an hour later.

Lin Yi received the Coins, bid farewell to the Scar-faced Leader, and left the commercial building camp.

He first teleported Chen Youyou back to the Shelter and then decided to proceed into a yet unexplored area.

Instead of riding a motorcycle, he cautiously moved through the shadows of the streets.

At that moment, through his earpiece, Melanie reported suddenly, "Boss... I found a group of scouts nearby... at least they look like scouts."

Scouts!?

Which faction do they belong to?

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, intending to move closer to have Melanie take a closer look with the camera.

However, before he advanced a hundred meters—

Boom! Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

A sudden explosion sounded ahead, immediately followed by the dense gunfire of machine guns and rifles.

Without Melanie’s reconnaissance, Lin Yi could clearly see what was happening ahead.

Two groups were fiercely exchanging fire in front!

One group, entirely women, though fewer in number, wielded heavy automatic weapons with fierce firepower, tightly suppressing the other side.

Lin Yi guessed they were members of one of Paris’s three major black forces — the Paradise Palace!

The other group was five times larger than the Paradise Palace’s female soldiers, a mix of men and women, covered in strange symbols.

Armed with only pistols and regular rifles, they were driven to dodge and run under the powerful suppressive fire.

Lin Yi speculated these people belonged to the True God Brotherhood, the most evil of the black cults.

He hid behind an abandoned truck, watching the intense battle!

But he was puzzled — how did these women obtain such fine weapons?!

At this point, the battlefield situation was getting more tense.

The Paradise Palace’s female soldiers, each a Professional, were surprisingly muscular.

They held heavy machine guns skillfully, biting open grenade launchers and launching frenzied attacks on the enemy.

Members of the True God Brotherhood were poorly equipped, and facing the full-on firepower of the enemy, their cover was almost useless.

Though there were also Professionals among these followers, those trying to charge through the gunfire were pinned down and harshly beaten by the burly women.

The intense battle quickly neared its end, with the True God Brotherhood suffering a crushing defeat, while the Paradise Palace women lost four and had three injured.

Seeing the advanced equipment in these women’s hands, Lin Yi felt like a poor pauper.

Honestly, he was incredibly envious...

But where could he find such equipment?!

"Boss! Behind you!"

Suddenly, Melanie screamed through the earpiece.

Lin Yi instinctively dodged to the side, and in that split second, he felt like he’d been hit by a speeding train.

The next moment, his whole body flew out and crashed heavily onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Yi forced himself to endure the panic, glanced ahead, and swore silently.

Ahead stood a towering woman, two and a half meters tall, with a hairdo like an escaped convict, and arms thicker than a normal man’s legs.

She slowly retracted her fist and looked at Lin Yi standing, with an expression of surprise.

At that moment, a True God Brotherhood member lunged from the shadows, attempting to ambush her.

The woman grinned, showing a menacing array of teeth.

With a swift punch, she struck the ambusher’s face, sending blood and teeth flying everywhere.

Lin Yi steadied himself, glancing at the now immobile ambusher, unsure if he was dead or alive...

At this moment, he was inwardly groaning.

This towering woman, whose Level was at least not lower than his, might have all her Attributes assigned to Power.

Not to mention, he could clearly feel a few of his ribs had been broken, each breath causing severe pain.

Seeing Lin Yi stand firm, the towering woman showed a bloodthirsty smile, flexing her strong arms, her joints cracking.

"Boss, come back now!" Melanie screamed with tears in her voice over the earpiece.

Lin Yi could also hear the anxious shouting of other girls in the Shelter.

Didn’t he want to return?

Damn it, he simply couldn’t go back now!

Who knows what means this woman used, he couldn’t use his Teleportation Skills at all.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, calming the chaos in his body, and said solemnly, "Miss, I’m just passing through—"

"Kid! I’m here just for you!" The towering woman said as she charged.

Her speed was incredible, her massive body moving without delay, reaching him in a blink, her powerful punch aiming for his face.

Lin Yi, prepared, sidestepped, the fist brushing past his cheek with a strong gust, leaving his face slightly pained.

Seizing the opportunity of her missed attack, Lin Yi quickly retaliated, powerfully kneeing her in the stomach.

"Ugh... ugh..."

The woman staggered back repeatedly, eventually half-kneeling on the ground, retching.

Lin Yi had no intention of prolonging the fight, but turning around, he saw a dozen female soldiers aiming machine guns at him.

The towering woman behind him forced back her nausea, gritting her teeth as she said:

"Tie him... ugh... up for me!!"
