Chapter 194

【System Prompt: Detected Iron Hand Group member Lin Hao snatching survivor medicine at the edge of the safe zone; suggest the host pay attention to subsequent developments.】

As soon as the system prompt fell, the voice of the blackened Lin Chen exploded in Lin Chen's mind: "Look at the mess you're managing! The people of the Iron Hand Group dare to snatch things right under your nose,

you are just a piece of trash!

You can't even maintain this little bit of order!"

Lin Chen frowned tightly, ignored the cursing in his mind, and immediately took two team members to rush toward the location marked by the system.

When they arrived, Lin Hao was pressing an old survivor to the ground, snatching a small package containing anti-inflammatory medicine in his hand,

and cursing in his mouth: "Old thing, be sensible and hand over the medicine! In this world now, whoever has the harder fist has the say; it's a waste for a useless old ghost like you to keep the medicine!"

The old survivor grabbed the package tightly, tears streaming down: "This is life-saving medicine for my grandson! You can't snatch it!"

"Stop!

" Lin Chen shouted, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Lin Hao by the collar, and dragged him away from the old survivor.

Lin Hao was stunned when he saw Lin Chen, then immediately stiffened his neck and shouted: "None of your business!

I'm snatching his medicine, not your Starfire Group's things!"

The voice of the blackened Lin Chen sounded again: "Why talk nonsense with him? Just break his hand!

Let him know the price of snatching things! You are just too soft-hearted, which is why you are being ridden on the head by these people!"

Lin Chen suppressed the anger in his mind and said to the Iron Hand Group guards who had arrived: "Take him back,

and hand him over to Zhou Bao to deal with! Snatching medicine in front of so many survivors, if he isn't ashamed,

the Iron Hand Group should be ashamed!"

The surrounding survivors gathered around one after another, pointing at Lin Hao and cursing incessantly. Lin Hao's face flushed red, but he dared not refute, and was taken away in a sorry state by the guards.

That afternoon, Zhou Bao held a public punishment meeting at the Iron Hand Group stronghold,

and in front of all members and nearby survivors, made Lin Hao kneel on the ground, sternly cursing: "You shameful thing! Who wouldn't you snatch medicine from,

but you had to snatch from the old, weak, sick, and disabled! Even if our Iron Hand Group is having a hard time, we wouldn't do such low-class things!"

After speaking, Zhou Bao picked up a wooden stick and hit Lin Hao's back more than a dozen times, hitting Lin Hao until he screamed repeatedly and lay on the ground unable to get up.

"From today on, you are expelled from the Iron Hand Group, and you are never allowed to come back!"

After Zhou Bao finished speaking, he waved his hand to let the guards drag Lin Hao away. The surrounding survivors saw this scene,

and only then did they vent their anger, but the voice of the blackened Lin Chen was still chattering in Lin Chen's mind: "Zhou Bao is doing this for outsiders to see! Do you really think he will sincerely punish his own people?

You are just a fool, being sold and still helping to count the money!" Lin Chen took a deep breath,

took out his communicator and called Xia Nuan—today was Xia Nuan's 21st birthday, and he had promised to spend it with her.

"I've finished dealing with things, and I'm going back now; you wait for me at the base."

Lin Chen said to the communicator. Xia Nuan's voice carried a smile: "No rush, be careful on the road;

I've already had the kitchen prepare a cake." After hanging up the communication, Lin Chen immediately gathered the members of the assault team,

and also had people go to the temporary safe house to pick up Lin Guodong's family—he wanted to make Xia Nuan's birthday a bit livelier, and also wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with Lin Guodong's family.

【System Prompt: The optimal route to return to the base has been planned for the host; there are no dangerous areas on the way.】

As soon as the system prompt ended, the blackened Lin Chen started cursing again: "You're really bringing that family of disasters, Lin Guodong's family?

Is your brain flooded?

They will only bring you trouble and will sooner or later kill you and Xia Nuan!" Lin Chen ignored him, took the team members and Lin Guodong's family into the off-road vehicle, and rushed toward the base.

On the way, Lin Xiaoxiao leaned in Liu Mei's arms and asked in a low voice: "Mom, we are going to celebrate Aunt Xia Nuan's birthday;

will she not like us?" Liu Mei touched her daughter's head and didn't speak, her eyes full of worry.

Lin Guodong kept his head down the whole time, not daring to look at Lin Chen. The voice of the blackened Lin Chen became increasingly unpleasant: "Look at their appearance,

they are simply ungrateful wretches! You helped them, but they won't be grateful to you; they will only think it's taken for granted! You are just a useless good-for-nothing!"

When they returned to the base, the sky had already darkened, and the base was hung with colorful little lights,

and the fragrance of cake drifted from the kitchen. When Xia Nuan saw Lin Chen return, she immediately smiled and welcomed him,

and when she saw Lin Guodong's family, she didn't show an expression of disgust, but instead beckoned to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, come here, Auntie has prepared a small gift for you." Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then took Liu Mei's hand and walked over.

The team members placed the fruits and snacks they brought on the table, and the cake was brought up,

with 21 candles inserted on it. "Make a wish quickly." Lin Chen said to Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan closed her eyes, put her hands together, made a wish, and then blew out the candles. The team members applauded one after another, and Lin Guodong and Liu Mei also clapped along, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

But the voice of the blackened Lin Chen was still cursing incessantly in Lin Chen's mind: "Do you think this can make Xia Nuan happy?

You are just deceiving yourself! Lin Guodong's family being here will sooner or later bring disaster to the base!

You are an unqualified guardian, unable to even protect the people around you!" Lin Chen picked up a glass of juice and handed it to Xia Nuan, a smile appearing on his face, but in his heart, he was silently telling himself—as long as he could make Xia Nuan happy, he could handle everything else.
