CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53 BECAUSE I AM A TOUGH GUY

The atmosphere on the street was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

The big woman had a ferocious expression, slowly approaching Lin Yi: "Kid, got guts to... ugh... think you’ve had enough of living?"

At this moment, Lin Yi’s hands were tightly bound behind him, with dozens of machine guns pointed at him, and the shelter’s skills could not be activated.

In desperation, he decided to remain silent.

"What’s the matter, lost your speech? Wasn’t it nice to bump into me earlier? Huh?"

The big woman roared, suddenly raising an arm thicker than a man’s thigh, and punched Lin Yi heavily in the stomach.

Even though she held back, Lin Yi still felt as if he had been kicked hard by a galloping horse.

The whole person flew uncontrollably backward, crashing heavily against a bus five meters away.

Cough, cough! Lin Yi began to cough violently.

He couldn’t help but curse, "You mad woman!?"

"Call me woman again, and I’ll rip one of your balls off, let you know who you’re dealing with, hehehehehe."

"Stop laughing, would you? It’s too ugly." Lin Yi said, spitting out saliva mixed with bloody foam.

Upon hearing this, the woman’s eyes widened in anger and punched Lin Yi in the stomach again, this time without holding back.

TM!

Lin Yi’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out completely.

Meanwhile, inside the shelter, chaos ensued.

"What do we do, Xiaochuan? How do we save the boss? It’s all my fault, I got distracted watching those guys battle..." Melanie, the black girl, cried.

She was surrounded by shelter residents, everyone with worried expressions.

"I don’t know either... Damn it..." Xiaochuan was anxious yet helpless.

"Calm down! I believe in the boss. He’ll come up with a plan. We need to be prepared, and we have to plant that wheat field."

"Who the hell cares about wheat, Chen Youyou?! If the boss gets killed, we’ll all die! I don’t want the boss dead!" Sylvie, the red-haired girl, shouted emotionally.

Chen Youyou hid her bleeding palms behind her back from pinching herself due to tension, trying to act composed and gave orders.

"Let it be! We can’t help now, nor can we leave the shelter! Those who can wield weapons, arm up, others go to the fields, Prof. Curie get the medical room ready."

Someone cried out urgently: "But we can’t get into the armory..."

"Then take shovels and sharpen sticks as weapons! Better than nothing..."

In a dim room with no windows.

Lin Yi was stripped bare, his equipment confiscated, tightly bound to an iron chair.

Then, several women pushed open the door and entered.

Splosh!

A bucket of cold water was heartlessly splashed on Lin Yi’s face, forcibly waking him in a particularly uncomfortable way.

Seeing the big woman and her subordinates standing before him, Lin Yi unexpectedly smiled.

He blinked, shaking off the water from his face, and joked with the woman in front of him, "Got more? Haven’t showered in a while."

The big woman squeezed out a grin from between her teeth, the sound more chilling and piercing than nails on a chalkboard.

"Still cracking jokes at a time like this, huh?"

"You wouldn’t know, I was once a hip-hop actor, dressed like one at least, loved stories about beating horrible ladies to death!"

"Dare you mock me!?" The big woman roared, her muscles instantly bulging, transforming her into an angry female gorilla, exceptionally burly.

Yet, just as Lin Yi thought she would swing another punch, unexpectedly, she calmed down slowly.

The gorilla leader looked at Lin Yi: "Trying to provoke me? Do you know why we caught you?"

"Because I’m a macho man!" Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

The gorilla leader’s gaze slowly shifted downwards, sizing Lin Yi up and down.

Then she snorted: "You do have me slightly intrigued, but you’re not much better than the bunch of men in my harem—"

Lin Yi interrupted her: "Know about thermal expansion and contraction? You just splashed cold water on me!"

"Enough, shut that damn mouth of yours, we need your food!" the gorilla shouted.

"Sorry, I’ve already eaten it all. If you like, I can try to pull it out for you."

Bam!

The gorilla leader angrily punched Lin Yi in the stomach once more.

She glared, gritting her teeth: "Are you addicted to pain or what?"

"Not really, I’m just thinking about how I’ll double the payback on you." Lin Yi exhibited a wicked grin, glaring fiercely back at the gorilla leader.

This glare suddenly reminded her of the prior moment, getting rebutted and vomiting miserably, instinctively retreating a few steps.

But soon, the gorilla leader noticed her loss and also found her female soldiers staring at her with puzzled eyes.

Furious with embarrassment, she swung another punch at Lin Yi’s stomach, viciously saying: "We know you sold a lot of food to the Louvre, so—"

"You want food?"

"Yes, hand it over!"

"There’s only one way to get food from me, I’ve already told you, hehehe, come on, turn me around..."

"Ah! I’m going to gut you like a fish!" The big woman screamed angrily, pulling out a knife, ready to stab Lin Yi’s stomach.

Seeing this, Lin Yi remained calm, showing no fear at all.

But witnessing this, the female soldiers quickly restrained the gorilla leader, who was blinded by rage.

"Don’t rush, boss! You said yourself, he’s provoking you, we can’t kill him!"

"Yes, we must get food first!"

Lin Yi tilted his head, looking with disdain.

After an unknown period, the gorilla leader finally calmed down a bit.

Never before had someone dared to mock her like this or make fun of her; everyone had always feared her, trembling in awe...

But today she encountered a nemesis!

Thus, she ceased talking to Lin Yi, snorted angrily, and left the room with her subordinates.

Only two female soldiers remained, who had been guarding Lin Yi ever since he awoke.

Lin Yi attempted to activate the teleportation skills but still couldn’t successfully return to the shelter.

He vaguely suspected the issue might lie with the two female soldiers guarding him.

Yet, these two women remained quietly seated in the corner, never taking their eyes off him, highly vigilant.

No matter how Lin Yi talked or even tried to entice them, these two women stayed silent, never lowering their guard.

About half an hour later.

A young woman walked in.

She was quite beautiful, but covered in bruises and scars.

Clearly, these feminists tortured her quite a bit.

This woman, suffering physically and mentally, was there to bring him food.

Even though the food smelled revolting.

The young woman avoided Lin Yi’s gaze, her voice sounded very gentle: "Please don’t move, I’m just here to bring food."

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No."

"Then why don’t you dare look at me?"
