"Hiss—an active duty soldier? Or a special forces member?"
Wang Hao took a sharp breath.
His dislike for Lin Yuennan grew even stronger.
Even if she was a frail woman, he had to be on guard.
Who knows if she would slit his throat while he was sleeping?
Let alone a special forces member.
If he let her in, he probably wouldn't be able to handle her.
"Miss Lin, who do you think you're intimidating? Even if you're an active duty soldier, so what?
Do you expect me to hand over everything at your command? It's the end of the world, alright? Are you still dreaming?"
Wang Hao retorted directly.
He thought Lin Yuennan was talking nonsense.
Did she take him for a three-year-old child?
"Oh, brother, brother, she's a soldier, not very educated, her words are rather blunt, don't mind her."
The soft, cute voice came through the walkie-talkie again.
"Hmph!"
Wang Hao snorted coldly, expressing his discontent.
But he still responded.
"Brother, my name is Sun Yaoyao, I'm a doctor, and a very skilled one at that, both in Western and traditional Chinese medicine!
Doctors are really important right now, you know.
My cousin is a special forces member, she can protect you, like those people who were targeting you before, she can take them out in a minute."
Sun Yaoyao laid out their strengths and showed sincerity.
"Have they been watching me all this time?"
Wang Hao felt a chill run down his spine.
Indeed, if you don't want people to know, don't do it.
A doctor?
That's indeed what Wang Hao urgently needed, especially after the tetanus incident last time.
His desire for a doctor reached its peak.
"Don't play one as the nice one and the other as the tough one, I do need a doctor and security, but how do I know you won't kill me as soon as you get in?"
Wang Hao could see through these little tricks.
That Lin Yuennan wasn't really an idiot, she mentioned her special forces identity partly to intimidate him.
After all, special forces have quite a few tricks up their sleeve.
Under normal circumstances, if negotiations fell apart and she attacked his villa, he would have a big headache.
However, Wang Hao wasn't worried at all, he was very confident in the defenses of his villa.
Plus, he had a gun.
He had some confidence.
"Brother, we're good people, not robbers, plus you have so much supplies, the three of us couldn't possibly finish it all!
We have no reason to harm you."
Sun Yaoyao continued to persuade: "We're actually quite wealthy, and have some influence. If you help us, when it's time to rebuild, we'll reward you handsomely."
"Are you spinning a tale for me? Do I look like a three-year-old kid?"
Wang Hao expressed strong disdain.
Not to mention if anything else might happen later.
Even if rebuilding happens, who knows when that will be.
Plus, he had hoarded a lot of supplies, so when reconstruction starts, he would definitely be a rich man.
He definitely wouldn't need to depend on them.
And if he cooperated with them, he might even be sold out by them, a requisition could get him in trouble.
"Even if you don't open the door, I have a way to get in, I don't want things to get ugly."
From the walkie-talkie came Lin Yuennan's icy voice:
"Don't compare me to those idiots from before."
Well!
First came diplomacy, and now it was straight to threats.
"Chief Lin, don't try to scare me, come if you have the guts, but don't blame me if I didn't warn you, if you attack head-on, I won't hold back."
Wang Hao's voice also turned cold.
Did they think he grew up scared?
What's so great about special forces?
Even if she brought a rocket launcher, it might not be able to blow through his villa.
If push comes to shove, he could still hide in his control room.
It was absolutely safe here.
So he wasn't intimidated at all.
In the Moon Viewing Garden, Sun Yaoyao and Lin Yuennan looked very serious.
"Oh dear, Sister Yuannan, this little brother is hard to fool!"
Sun Yaoyao pouted, her face full of frustration.
"Yeah! He's really impervious to persuasion."
Lin Yuennan frowned tightly, somewhat puzzled:
"He's been out of school for less than two years, it shouldn't be like this!"
Most university students are quite righteous at heart.
And due to their upbringing, they usually instinctively cooperate with official personnel's instructions.
However, Wang Hao didn't regard her at all.
Even when she mentioned her special forces status, he wasn't fazed.
In another villa, Wang Hao snorted disdainfully, full of contempt:
"These little tricks, too many in novels, want to fool me? Think again!"
Yes, if he hadn't read so many novels, or had the hints on his hand.
Wang Hao would probably have been fooled.
In the face of disaster, the first reaction for ordinary people is to seek law enforcement.
Coupled with lifelong education and media influence, naive university students, who've never faced society, tend to trust government workers.
However, this was merely hypothetical.
Now Wang Hao didn't trust anyone, no one could scare him.
The first communication ended for now.
No one continued shouting.
Everyone was a bit heated at the moment, continuing could completely break down the relationship.
They needed some cooling period.
"A bit troublesome!"
Wang Hao put down the walkie-talkie, his expression turned grave.
Even though he wasn't afraid of Lin Yuennan now.
As long as he stayed in the control room, he was safe.
But what about after?
He couldn't hide here forever, right?
With such a formidable person watching, he couldn't do anything in the future.
"Become stronger!"
Now, Wang Hao's longing for power was unprecedentedly strong.
As long as his power was strong enough, everything wouldn't be a problem.
He not only didn't have to fear Lin Yuennan, but could even turn them into his subordinates.
Having a doctor by one's side was very necessary.
"Then give it a try!"
Wang Hao finally took a step forward.
The situation now was different than before.
The existence of Lin Yuennan had severely affected his future plans, even threatening his life and property safety.
He had to take a risk.
He activated the external circulation of a room, releasing fresh air through the filtered purification system.
Then, going to the equipment storage, he put on a protective suit, wore an oxygen tank, and entered the room with a dagger.
He closed his eyes to feel, he couldn't absorb Spiritual Qi.
"Seems like direct skin contact is necessary!"
Wang Hao left the room, then bared his left hand and tightly secured the protective suit, holding the dagger, re-entered the room.
"Hmm?"
The moment he entered the room, Wang Hao's eyes shone brightly.
He felt the Spiritual Power flowing into his body through the dagger, both the speed and volume were much greater than before.
If it was a trickle before, now it's like the mighty Yangtze River.
He felt every cell in his body cheering and yearning.
They longed for the nourishment of Spiritual Power.
It was effective indeed.
Wang Hao sat cross-legged, guiding the absorption, further increasing the absorption rate.
Like this, he practiced for more than three hours.
He felt sticky and uncomfortable.
The absorbed Spiritual Power kept washing over his body, helping him cleanse and expel impurities.
He had experienced this before, but the Spiritual Qi in the house was so thin, the effect wasn't as obvious.
Now with the influx of external Spiritual Qi, the effects were apparent.
