Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 952: Chapter 357: Activation Technique Simulation Completed, Lu Yuyan Awakens

Inside the medical research room at the Yangshan Shelter.

A patrol team member walked in and took a peek inside.

He saw Yang Shenmin along with Old Yang, Ren Jie, Li Hanzhong, Fu Qibo, and others engaged in an intense discussion about something.

Meanwhile, in the separate room, Tang Ying was brewing tea.

Noticing someone on this side, Tang Ying looked up.

The patrol team member gestured to her.

Tang Ying put down the teacup and walked over, softly asking, "Is there something?"

The patrol team member whispered, "Dr. Tang, there’s someone outside claiming to be a friend of Daoist Lin, wanting to see Dr. Yang urgently."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ying immediately frowned.

She didn’t have a good impression of Yang Shenmin’s former comrade, Elder Lin.

Because she was also part of Building 75 before the apocalypse, aware of Elder Lin’s reputation in the community.

He was an old bachelor, an old rogue.

Therefore, she wasn’t fond of Yang Shenmin interacting with this old rogue.

Yang Shenmin knew about Elder Lin’s character as well; since settling at the Yangshan Shelter, their interactions had become increasingly rare.

But Elder Lin was thick-skinned, and periodically he would visit Yang Shenmin to reminisce and play the emotional card, making it difficult for Yang Shenmin to completely sever ties.

Now, with someone coming over again, Tang Ying’s first reaction was not to disturb Yang Shenmin.

Currently, Yang Shenmin was talking to Li Hanzhong and these research talents about the Superpower Potion, exploring the potential of using Rune Technology in the medical field.

This matter is quite important, and naturally, she didn’t want Elder Lin to interrupt.

Tang Ying asked, "Did they say what it was about?"

"The person looked anxious, claiming it’s a matter of life and death."

Tang Ying immediately furrowed her brow and said, "Take me there to see."

Both quietly left the research room and went outside.

They saw that Elder Lin’s gambler friend was waiting anxiously outside.

Upon seeing Tang Ying, the gambler friend was slightly surprised but didn’t see Yang Shenmin and couldn’t help but ask, "Where’s Dr. Yang?"

Tang Ying calmly replied, "I’m Tang Ying, Dr. Yang’s partner. He’s busy right now—same as speaking to me, what’s the matter?"

Hesitant at first, the gambler friend recalled Captain Wu’s urgent demeanor and felt he couldn’t delay.

The gambler quickly said, "Miss Tang, Daoist Lin was taken away by Captain Wu and his men, it seemed incredibly urgent—Daoist Lin wants Dr. Yang to help mediate."

Tang Ying was startled upon hearing this, then furrowed her brow and asked, "Why was he apprehended?"

"No idea," the gambler friend quickly shook his head.

Tang Ying was skeptical, "What was he doing when they caught him?"

The gambler friend hesitated for a bit before speaking softly, "At the underground casino in the mining area..."

Tang Ying was speechless but frowned again and asked, "Was it just that?"

"Yes, I swear, it was just that."

Tang Ying was puzzled—by rights, just gambling shouldn’t have prompted the patrol team to arrest someone.

Though she was rather against gambling, the Shelter’s safety regulations didn’t explicitly ban it.

There must be something else involved.

Tang Ying thought for a moment and said, "I’ll go find Dr. Yang."

As she turned to leave, she suddenly heard Liang Yuan’s voice over the loudspeaker from the shopping center outside.

Listening closely to the broadcast, Tang Ying learned that Mr. Liang was holding a public trial of prisoners at the Sunshine District square.

Alarmed, she quickly went inside to inform Yang Shenmin and the others.

Having received the news, Yang Shenmin and the others rapidly left the research room, swiftly heading towards Sunshine District square together.

They saw the huge crowd and heard Liang Yuan’s stern questioning.

Only then did he understand what was happening.

At this moment, Dong Yan was already announcing Elder Lin’s crimes.

Elder Lin’s actions provoked jeers from the crowd.

Standing amidst the crowd, Yang Shenmin couldn’t help but stop, his eyes filled with anger.

Tang Ying stood beside him, whispering, "Shenmin... Are you still going to plead with Mr. Liang?"

Yang Shenmin took a deep breath, slightly shook his head, "I never expected him to have committed so many wrongs."

"Back then, when he and I were surrounded by Deng Hu, we overcame difficulties. How did his life get better while he forgot those hardships?"

Tang Ying sighed, "From victim to perpetrator, it’s often just a fine line."

Yang Shenmin exhaled and said, "Let’s go back. Over time, he’s come to me many times and borrowed quite a few Superpower Stones."

"For the gratitude I owed back then, I’ve long repaid it."

Tang Ying held his hand, "Even though you didn’t awaken as a Superpower User back then, it was far from owing him anything."

"Back then, if not for you cooperating with him, how could he deceive anyone with just the Golden Light Technique?"

"Had it not been for your medical skills saving many people, his trickery would have been exposed long ago."

"So stop saying you owe him anything—you don’t owe him a thing."

Back in Building 75, Elder Lin relied on the Golden Light Technique to fool many people.

Having awakened a superpower, his own strength and speed increased. To suppress ordinary people, just relying on physical prowess was enough.

Then, by performing a few Golden Light Techniques, he created an extraordinarily convincing aura of powerful magic—the name of Daoist was naturally very intimidating.

However, when injured people came for help, Elder Lin’s Golden Light Technique was of no use.

At times like this, it was often Yang Shenmin’s acupuncture and similar methods that treated them. He would then attribute all credit to Elder Lin’s superpowers.
