Chapter 95: What level are you, to dare compare yourself to my Boss?

~8 min read 1,452 words

The man in the rain was shirtless, his arm muscles rippling, each upward movement erupting with considerable power.

"98, 99, 100, 101... keep it up, that's over a hundred already, hey, stronger than Sanlin, keep going!"

The soldier hanging from the pull-up bar had a flushed face, his legs coiled in the air, his teeth grinding with a creaking sound.

After struggling through five more, his whole body began to tremble.

Wang Pan watched the two hanging from the same bar with cold, vicious eyes, "Get down, damn it, you're my soldier, if you train yourself to ruin, I'm not going to support you!"

Receiving permission, the soldier, whose eyes were bloodshot and ears ringing with dizziness, relaxed his ten fingers, and his whole body fell into the mud pit like a lump of wet clay.

As he landed, his large frame could be seen a meter away from someone with a lean but muscular build hanging there.

The muscles were rippling just the same, yet the movements were steady and unhurried.

The breathing was even, the demeanor relaxed, possessing a rhythm that made even the onlookers feel at ease.

"1004, 1005, 1006..."

The counting here grew louder and louder; Luo Sanlin, having recovered a bit, initially felt it was satisfying that Liu Mu was venting his frustrations for him, but when the tenth soldier on the other side was also knocked down, he couldn't stay calm.

What kind of inhuman constitution could achieve this?

"Stop doing it, the rain is getting heavier."

Having been battered by the human nature of the apocalypse for some time, the young man didn't want Liu Mu to be too high-profile; she had already been flashy enough during the previous operation at the Scrap Station and Food Street, only to be targeted by that woman surnamed Jiang.

Now, their own team wasn't clean either.

Liu Mu looked at Luo Sanlin wearing her raincoat, his complexion no better than before, and smiled, "It's fine, just playing around, aren't they looking for a result?"

As she spoke, when the next soldier was pushed up by Wang Pan, she directly released one arm.

This action made a flash of joy cross Wang Pan's eyes, thinking Liu Mu finally couldn't hold on anymore.

But this joy didn't last five seconds before he saw Liu Mu easily doing one-armed pull-ups, her breathing rhythm not even disrupted.

Liu Mu provocatively raised an eyebrow at the people over there, "Captain Wang, don't you want to try? If I get serious, maybe your total count could catch up?"

These words were practically a slap to the face.

Wang Pan yanked away the soldier he had originally pushed out, pulled off his waterproof cloak with what he thought was a dashing flair, and grabbed the bar with one hand as well.

Five minutes later, Wang Pan's face was flushed red.

Eight minutes later, his complexion turned pale.

"Captain Wang, keep it up, look at my rhythm, as long as you master the rhythm, physical strength and such don't matter," Liu Mu encouraged her opponent not to give up at the right moment.

Ten minutes later, Wang Pan hung there like a stubborn dead cat, simply refusing to let go.

Fifteen minutes later, his lips turned purple, he foamed at the mouth, and *splat*, he crashed into the mud.

Liu Mu thought someone would go to help him up, but to her surprise, everyone was conquered by her endurance; the counting grew louder and louder, and although they were the side being challenged, they no longer felt ashamed.

"That's enough!"

If they kept wasting time, their combat readiness would suffer.

Liu Mu released her hand and landed steadily. She raised one hand straight up, performing a graceful exit and bow.

"Awesome!"

For a soldier, regardless of gender, they might not submit to your marksmanship, but such a face-to-face, brutal, and simple crushing made them admire her even more.

Cheers shook the sky; Wang Pan, ignored on the ground, moved his nearly numb arms and fainted, unable to close his eyes in peace.

"Sigh, why be so competitive?" Li Gang was the one who helped him up and handed him over to the soldiers close to Wang Pan, "Sorry to trouble you, all of you go rest first, my Sister Liu Mu has words for everyone later."

These few were the ones Wang Pan trusted most in the team; their arrogance and contempt from just moments ago had been pressed into the mud after a single physical fitness competition. At this moment, they didn't dare say anything more, fearing Liu Mu would catch them for another competition.

Of course, they wouldn't necessarily lose at other things, but now their legs were trembling; let alone competing, they couldn't even walk back to the house steadily.

Watching their retreating backs, he revealed a mocking smile.

What level are you, to dare compare yourself to my Boss?

If you were really comparable, why is the one who is the Boss not you, but my Sister Liu Mu?

Li Gang scoffed to himself and quickly returned.

The remaining soldiers had already consciously lined up, and Li Gang also consciously stood behind Liu Mu, exchanged a look with her, and said: "Next, let's welcome our Deputy Minister of Commerce of the Barrier, one of the persons in charge of external resource collection, and Chairwoman of the Victory Scrap Collection Group, Liu Mu, Boss Liu, to speak!"

Standing at the very front of the line, Liu Mu's face flushed slightly; what was with this title long enough to bring honor to one's ancestors? It definitely wasn't something Li Gang came up with.

Li Gang spoke and took the lead in applauding; with the prestige from the earlier contest, the soldiers followed with enthusiastic applause.

"Comrades, hello, you have all worked hard on the journey here."

Liu Mu scoured all her memories and only found two lines she had learned while watching a military parade years ago, which seemed appropriate enough here.

"No hard work!"

The soldiers answered in unison, their voices quite loud.

"Good," Liu Mu raised a hand to press down, the applause stopped in unison; she felt quite embarrassed, but she had to keep up the facade.

So, she cleared her throat and said: "According to our investigation and speculation, the criminal organization Sky Viper that attacked you on the road will soon launch an attack on Yang Family Town and the Mine. So, I won't waste any more words, I will state the deployment directly, and after I finish, if anyone has any opinions, you may raise them..."

The soldiers who admired Liu Mu had wanted to be like her and not wear cloaks, but they were stopped by Liu Mu before lining up.

Her own constitution was different, but she didn't dare risk these vital forces.

Including the workers in the town, after the initial shock, they were all issued raincoats. The Black Rain had been falling for nearly a month, and the great river had already flooded several times.

If it weren't for the well-developed river system in Jiang Province, all directly connected to the sea, it would have been submerged long ago.

Of course, there were plenty of places with internal flooding. For example, the urban area of Haicheng was having a hard time right now.

The urban area was built on a rare plain among the hills, and the residential and commercial buildings in the low-lying central area were almost already submerged up to the third or fourth floor.

And this was while guarding a river, and with the troops organizing Survivors to clear the roads as much as possible.

Even so, the Survivors, all personnel from the Laboratory, and the troops had to migrate to the highest mountain in the suburbs this week.

Two vehicles were lost in the process.

When Xing Tianyang was taking inventory of the laboratory equipment, he discovered that one of the vehicles washed away contained equipment and partial data, and he immediately flew into a rage. He questioned the troops why they didn't prioritize protecting these important items, and what was the use of saving people?

The mountain-like Captain of the special operations team, Tan Ziyan, naturally would not keep him in check.

"Doctor Xing, there is a matter I think it is necessary to reiterate to you. Regardless of the time, place, or situation, our mission is to prioritize the safety of humanity above all else; everything else must come second.

"Do you not find it anti-human to ask us to abandon the lives of a busload of people just to protect things? Or are the four warriors who were swept away by the bus nothing in your eyes?"
