Chapter 195
After Xia Nuan's 21st birthday was over, Lin Chen arranged for team members to send Lin Guodong's family back to the Iron Hand Group's temporary stronghold.
Just as they arrived at the entrance of the stronghold, the members who were originally patrolling at the entrance saw them and immediately turned around and walked into the stronghold,
without even saying hello. Lin Guodong held Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, wanting to follow them in,
but was stopped by a guard: "The leader said, you can only live in the temporary sheds on the periphery, and are not allowed to approach the main stronghold."
Liu Mei frowned: "Didn't we live on the inside before? Why do we have to move to the sheds now?
" The guard sneered: "Who dares to let you live on the inside now? If by any chance we get contaminated by your 'disaster energy',
and something else happens to the stronghold, who can take the responsibility?" After speaking, he pushed Lin Guodong, and Lin Guodong staggered and almost fell, while Lin Xiaoxiao was so scared she hugged his leg tightly.
Walking into the peripheral shed area, the surrounding Iron Hand Group members either turned around and went into their rooms,
or pointed at them from afar, and no one was willing to talk to them.
Arriving in front of the assigned shed, Lin Guodong found that there was only a broken bed in the room, without even bedding,
and dust had accumulated on the ground. "Is this the place for us to live?" Lin Guodong couldn't help but ask a member passing by, but the other party quickened their pace, pretending not to hear.
In the following days, the exclusion became even more obvious. When eating, Lin Guodong went to the cafeteria to get food,
and the cafeteria cook always deliberately gave less food, and gave him the worst steamed buns; during training, no one was willing to team up with him,
and some even deliberately threw training equipment in front of him, making him help clean it up; Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to play with other children, but those children were pulled away by their parents, who also whispered "Don't play with the disaster child."
Lin Guodong told Zhou Bao about these things, but Zhou Bao just perfunctorily said: "Everyone has opinions about you now,
so just endure it a bit more, and it will be fine after a while." Lin Guodong knew that Zhou Bao didn't want to care at all, and just treated them as a burden.
When this news reached Lin Chen's ears through the system, he was organizing medical supplies at the base.
【System Prompt: Detected Lin Guodong's family suffering continuous exclusion at the Iron Hand Group stronghold, and members have obvious hostility toward them.】
Lin Chen put down the medicine in his hand, a wave of irritation in his heart—he didn't expect that the influence of the rumors would be so lasting, and that Lin Guodong's family would be excluded to this extent.
Just at this moment, the communicator received an emergency message: several Iron Hand Group members deliberately provoked Lin Guodong,
a conflict broke out between the two sides, Lin Guodong was beaten and injured, and Lin Xiaoxiao was also scared until she fainted.
Lin Chen immediately drove the off-road vehicle to rush to the Iron Hand Group stronghold, and just as he arrived at the shed area,
he saw several Iron Hand Group members surrounding Lin Guodong, punching and kicking him, while Liu Mei held the unconscious Lin Xiaoxiao, crying heart-rendingly.
"Stop!
" Lin Chen shouted and rushed over, and one member turned his head, not only not stopping,
but instead mocked: "Lin Chen? Why are you here? Are you here to help your disaster friends? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or I'll beat you together!"
This sentence completely ignited Lin Chen's anger, and he could no longer control it; the absolute zero in his body exploded instantly,
the temperature around them plummeted, and thick ice layers condensed on the ground. One member swung his fist toward Lin Chen,
Lin Chen's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand and threw a punch—this punch carried the cold air of absolute zero, smashing fiercely into the opponent's chest like "One Punch Man", and that member was instantly frozen, falling to the ground motionless.
Other members saw this and took out their weapons to shoot one after another. Lin Chen relied on "Extreme Dodge",
flexibly dodging the bullets, and the bullets grazed his ears, leaving faint retinal afterimages.
He approached step by step, and with every step he took, ice spikes rose an inch from the ground, scaring the several members into retreating repeatedly.
"Whoever dares to move them again, I will freeze them into ice cubes!" Lin Chen's voice carried cold air,
and his eyes were so cold that people dared not look directly at him. Those several members looked at their frozen companion on the ground,
and then looked at the cold air radiating from Lin Chen, and no longer dared to be arrogant, threw down their weapons, and ran back to the main stronghold in a sorry state.
Lin Chen squatted down to check Lin Guodong's injuries—his face was full of bruises,
blood seeped from the corners of his mouth, and two of his ribs were also broken. Liu Mei held Lin Xiaoxiao, choking with sobs: "Lin Chen, thank you... if it weren't for you, we really wouldn't be able to survive." Lin Chen didn't speak, carefully picked up Lin Xiaoxiao, and helped Lin Guodong up: "I'll take you back to the Starfire base; no one will bully you there."
