Rebirth in the Apocalypse: My Ex-Girlfriend's Guide to Winning Me Over

Captain Jiang's eyes darkened. This woman was too arrogant; she dared to kick one of his team members right in front of him!

He glanced at the onlookers with a dark expression, knowing he couldn't give them too much cause for gossip. "You guys keep your weapons at home, and you're even carrying weapons while cooperating with the investigation. It's not appropriate no matter how you look at it!"

While Lin Ling was putting the weapons inside, she whispered to herself in a voice only she could hear, "Go to the hot spring hotel and find Tang Haoran. Give him the three weapons and tell him to find a way to get me out first."

After saying all this, she gave An Yingying and the dog a reassuring look, and then the two of them and the dog followed the guards to their office.

Chen Feiyu repeated Lin Ling's words in unison. He Heze stood up and didn't dare to delay. "I'll go out for a bit and see if I can find reinforcements. Feiyu, you stay here and continue to observe. After the guards leave, Jingyu, you two go into the room and take the weapons."

The supernatural weapon is extremely important, so He and Ze need to take it away first to avoid causing more trouble.

After making arrangements, He Heze headed towards the hot spring resort. He needed to hurry, as he didn't know what would happen after Lin Ling and the others were taken away.

Upon arriving at the interrogation room, Jiang Daxing wore a smug, self-satisfied expression.

He knew the ice-type woman wasn't home before he went to capture Lin Ling.

It's good that they're not home. We can deal with these first, and then tackle the ice-type one on our own.

He didn't care how strong those women were. With such a legitimate excuse, no matter how strong they were, would they dare to cause trouble in the base?

These days, having ability alone isn't enough; you also need status.

"Separate the two women and the dog and detain them separately."

Jiang Daxing gestured with his chin toward the team members beside him, and the team members reached out to pull a few of them.

Lin Ling pulled An Yingying back and asked coldly, "We are not criminals, we are here to cooperate with the investigation. What does Captain Jiang mean by this?"

She had dealt with Jiang Daxing a few times before. After all, this wasn't the first time he had come to steal dogs. The way he looked at her usually made Lin Ling very uncomfortable.

Captain Jiang grinned, revealing his large yellow teeth. "You are all superhumans, which poses a significant risk. You must be detained separately."

As soon as he finished speaking, several members of the guard team beside him drew their weapons and pointed them at the two men.

Lin Ling was furious. The group of them had been living obediently at the base, and it was true that trouble always came looking for me, even if I didn't cause any.

She sneered and sat down in the chair with an air of superiority. An Yingying and Gouzi stood on either side of her like two bodyguards.

Lin Ling fired off a barrage of questions, "Detain what? Do you have evidence that we dragged those dead bodies into the yard? The official patrol team has uniforms, were those people wearing them? What, is this base your base, Jiang Daxing's base? I want to know who gave you the guts to arrest me? Did you investigate my background? The three of us women live together, and no one dares to mess with us. Do you really think we're just ordinary people? Do you believe that if you offend me, you won't even know how you died? Go do a background check first! Idiot!"

Lin Ling perfectly portrayed that disdainful and contemptuous look in her eyes. She learned that look from Zuo You. If she didn't learn it perfectly, she learned it at least 80% of it!

Lin Ling is just trying to intimidate Jiang Daxing for now, hoping that Zuo You will come back soon or that Tang Haoran will bring some different news. Otherwise, she will have to face it head-on.

It wasn't that she was afraid of fighting, but she had some reservations. She was worried that there might be a mastermind behind it all, and in addition, Jiang Daxing was an official, so she was somewhat wary.

Lin Ling still doesn't know if there are other masterminds behind the scenes. If she can't resolve this once and for all, she'll just be creating endless trouble for herself.

Jiang Daxing was stunned by Lin Ling's words. His intuition told him that the woman was trying to scare him, but Lin Ling's arrogant and spoiled demeanor really frightened Jiang Daxing.

Looking at Lin Ling again, her complexion was rosy, her skin was fair, and her clothes were clean and tidy, making her look nothing like a woman struggling in the apocalypse.

Based on her investigation, Lin Ling rarely went out.

Jiang Daxing felt he had figured out the truth: Lin Ling was very likely the daughter of an official in the base.

Therefore, she has no shortage of supplies, and that ice-type woman is very likely Lin Ling's bodyguard!

Just as Jiang Daxing's face turned pale and then red, a middle-aged man wearing a down suit walked in.

Behind the middle-aged man were Tang Haoran, who was also dressed in a black down suit and had a straight figure, and another guard captain.

Lin Ling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was.

She knew Tang Haoran, that scoundrel, wouldn't let go of supernatural weapons! And here they are.

The middle-aged man took off his windproof mask and goggles, glanced around, and saw a dozen people surrounding two women and a dog.

"Captain Jiang, I heard that more than a dozen members of the patrol team died? What happened?" His voice was deep and powerful.

Jiang Daxing bowed slightly and explained in a somewhat obsequious tone, "Lieutenant Colonel Wu, those people are just in the pre-patrol team; they haven't officially joined the patrol team yet."

Lieutenant Colonel Wu is the head of the base's security team, which is Jiang Daxing's direct superior.

There are three guard teams in the base, and each guard team has three patrol teams. The entire guard team is responsible for the security and safety of the base.

Jiang Daxing was extremely flustered. He was afraid he had kicked a hornet's nest this time. This Lin Ling was indeed a second-generation rich kid in the base!

He was now filled with rage at the subordinate who had given him this terrible idea. He glared at the subordinate with a vicious look in his eyes and gritted his teeth.

The subordinate standing to the side shrank back in fright and took a few steps back.

“Since it’s a reserve patrol team, we need to investigate it thoroughly. However, that team is under your jurisdiction, so to avoid any appearance of impropriety, you shouldn’t get involved in this matter. Let Team One investigate it.”

Lieutenant Colonel Wu set the tone for the matter directly, and incidentally prevented Jiang Daxing from interfering in the investigation. However, since the incident had occurred, it was necessary to investigate it thoroughly.

“Lieutenant Colonel, I need to be responsible for my team members. I think it’s better if I take charge. I will definitely investigate carefully!” Jiang Daxing tried to regain the initiative.

He was sweating profusely. This was a trap set for Gouzi and the women. It had been almost a month since the extreme cold began. Who wouldn't want a sip of dog meat soup? Who wouldn't be lusting after the women's looks?

However, the previous few times that people came and never returned frightened them so much that they dared not make any rash moves.

He thought he was well-prepared, but he never expected that Lin Ling, a delicate young girl who rarely left her home, would actually have a status! And yet she was so low-key!

"Jiang Daxing, this is an order. Are you telling me what to do?" Lieutenant Colonel Wu spoke with an imposing air, though he wasn't angry.

"No, no, Lieutenant Colonel, you've misunderstood. Please send a team over, send a team over, and we'll step back." Jiang Daxing quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, beckoning to his subordinates, pulling and kicking them, especially the subordinate who started it, who was kicked even harder in the buttocks.

No one interfered, and the investigation was swift. After questioning the two women about their situation the previous night and examining the scene, the team quickly concluded that Lin Ling and her companion had acted in self-defense.
