Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 144: Chapter 142: Day Traveler Delivers the Message

Lin Yuan and Yang Dingguo sat at the table, one eating noodles and the other eating stir-fried rice noodles.

”Sigh!” Yang Dingguo sighed, breaking the silence first, and said, ”I don’t even know if I’ll see society restore order again in my lifetime!”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but remember something.

As someone reborn three years after the eerie invasion, Lin Yuan was immensely familiar with everything that had happened during those three years.

In the past life, when Yang Dingguo was still alive, Peng City was developing quite well, at least heading in a positive direction.

However, when Yang Dingguo got seriously ill and after he died, Peng City completely lost control, with even those living in the shelter suffering oppression and struggling bitterly.

The experiences of his past life taught Lin Yuan that Yang Dingguo couldn’t afford to ”collapse.”

There’s not many people like Yang Dingguo who wholeheartedly serve the public; if Yang Dingguo ”collapsed,” Peng City would be finished.

”Old Yang, you must take care of your health too!”

”Sometimes, you don’t need to think too much.”

”Honestly, you’ve already done very well!” Lin Yuan said earnestly.

To be honest, Yang Dingguo has already done a great job.

Peng City, once a medium-sized city before the eerie invasion, has become the city with the most survivors and the most complete shelter construction after the invasion.

All of this can be said to be largely thanks to Yang Dingguo.

Lin Yuan doesn’t understand grand principles; anyway, if Yang Dingguo can make Peng City develop better, he is willing to protect Yang Dingguo.

After accompanying Yang Dingguo for a round in Five Dragon Mountain Shelter, Lin Yuan sent him back to the underground fortress.

...

...

The person who had just been secretly watching Lin Yuan and Yang Dingguo at the noodle stall was one of the many undercover agents planted in Five Dragon Mountain Shelter by the consortium.

After discovering Lin Yuan and Yang Dingguo, he reported the news to Day Traveler immediately.

The main force responsible for killing Lin Yuan this time is Yang Jing, but Yang Jing, in the end, isn’t considered a core member of the consortium’s forces.

Therefore, it’s impossible for Yang Jing to be in control of intelligence matters.

Poison Lord had just been reprimanded by Yang Jing and was now pretending to be submissive.

All internal and external liaison and surveillance matters fell entirely to Day Traveler.

Unfortunately!

What they didn’t know was that Day Traveler was a traitor!

”Lin Yuan has returned; I just saw him and Yang Dingguo at the shelter,” the undercover agent reported truthfully to Day Traveler.

Day Traveler nodded, replied with a cold tone, ”Message received, I’ll report it, you continue to lie low.”

”Understood!” the undercover agent responded, then left.

These undercover agents planted in Peng City by the consortium have tasks primarily to discover some intelligence, then hand it over and continue lurking.

Peng City, as the next city the consortium wants to control, has countless undercover agents planted there.

After sending Yang Dingguo back to the underground fortress, Lin Yuan returned to the Wushan Shelter himself.

He came to find Yang Dingguo, not for any urgent matter, just to let Yang Dingguo know he’s safe after returning.

Likewise, he wanted to tip Yang Dingguo off, letting him know that Lin Yuan now has enough power.

At this stage, no matter what means the consortium forces want to use against Peng City, he can handle them all.

....

....

Wushan Shelter.

Power Distribution Room.

Zhang Zhen held a thick cable in one hand, with the cable’s other end connected to a pile of batteries stacked like a small mountain.

Now, the city’s power system has completely collapsed.

Five Dragon Mountain Shelter has a newly built power system, and some smaller shelters also have their own power generation equipment.

This power generation equipment is also present in Lin Yuan’s Wushan Shelter.

Lin Yuan’s equipment is Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen brand generator, very reliable.

As the alloy production line and laboratory have been moved to Wushan Shelter, the electricity demand has surged!

At this time, Zhang Zhen’s importance as the head of the power department becomes apparent.

In the villa, Lin Yuan lay on the sofa, holding a tablet and looking at some data provided by officials.

After the Golden Armor Zombie in Han City and the Mother-Child Deceitful King in Feng City were dealt with, within a few hundred miles radius centered around Peng City, there are no more Tier Five Evil Spirits.

After all, it’s still the 2.0 version of the eerie invasion, in this version, Tier Five Evil Spirits are akin to bosses.

The consecutive appearances of Mr. Yimu Wu, Golden Armor Zombie, and Mother-Child Deceitful King, three Tier Five Evil Spirits, in Peng City’s vicinity were already quite rare.

The temporary absence of Tier Five Evil Spirits around Peng City means that, in the short term, awakening Zhong Kui Tattoo has already been Lin Yuan’s peak of power.

However, the Zhong Kui Tattoo is already sufficient for him to dominate in this stage.

”Boss, someone is looking for you!” Zhuge Ming came in from outside and whispered in Lin Yuan’s ear.

”Someone is looking for me?”

”Who is it?” Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised, having just returned not long ago, who would come looking for him?

Zhuge Ming whispered in Lin Yuan’s ear, ”It’s that Mad Woman.”

Mad Woman?

The only person Zhuge Ming would call a Mad Woman is the Day Traveler.

Upon learning that it was the Day Traveler looking for him, Lin Yuan frowned and muttered, ”What the hell does this crazy woman want with me?”

”Why is she back in Peng City again? Shouldn’t she have returned to the Zhang Family?”

After hearing Lin Yuan’s muttering, Zhuge Ming quietly reminded, ”Boss, it’s likely those financial conglomerates are up to something again.”

The Day Traveler and Lin Yuan share a common enemy: the financial conglomerates.

Similarly, they share a common goal: to bring down the financial conglomerates.

As the saying goes, ’No one visits the temple without reason.’

The connection between Lin Yuan and the Day Traveler is in dealing with the financial conglomerates.

Therefore, if the Day Traveler came looking for him, it’s likely that the financial conglomerates are plotting something once more.

After Zhuge Ming’s reminder, Lin Yuan also thought of this, and he looked up and instructed, ”Bring her...”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuan immediately changed his mind and said, ”Where is she? I’ll go meet her.”

Nowadays, the Wushan Shelter is not what it used to be. The old Wushan Shelter had only a handful of people, all trustworthy to Lin Yuan.

Ever since the alloy production line and laboratory were moved here, the Wushan Shelter is now bustling and crowded with many eyes watching.

Since even official shelters have spies from the financial conglomerates, Wushan Shelter is not immune either.

The Day Traveler’s identity is too sensitive, it’s best not to let her enter the shelter.

Better safe than sorry.

If by any chance the Day Traveler gets spotted, his hard-placed critical informant might be compromised.

Currently, very few people know about his collaboration with the Day Traveler, and they are all absolutely trustworthy.

”She’s on the opposite mountain; I didn’t let her get close to the shelter,” Zhuge Ming, ever cautious, replied.

”You come with me to meet her,” Lin Yuan said to Zhuge Ming.

With Zhuge Ming’s high intelligence, it was easier to determine the truth of some information if he brought him along to meet the Day Traveler.

Moreover, Zhuge Ming could also offer some advice.

Without waiting for Zhuge Ming to respond, Lin Yuan directly pulled him up and, using the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo ability, they arrived at the mountain across from Wushan.

Back then, when Lin Yuan fought against the Celestial King and Zhang Peng, it was on this very mountain.

Now, the Day Traveler was waiting here.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan bringing Zhuge Ming along, the Day Traveler furrowed her brow and said coldly, ”We agreed to communicate one-on-one.”

Lin Yuan didn’t take the Day Traveler’s displeasure seriously at all.

Lin Yuan knew that for the Day Traveler to deal with the financial conglomerates, she must rely on him or, more accurately, the official forces behind him.

Otherwise, with just the Day Traveler herself, it would be like an ant taking on an elephant with the financial conglomerates.

So, bringing Zhuge Ming along, the most she would feel is a bit of dissatisfaction.

”He’s one of us, trust me.”

”You should have met him before. Consider him someone you’ve fought but have come to know.” Lin Yuan said with a chuckle.

Back when the Day Traveler and her group attacked the Wushan Shelter, she indeed had a confrontation with Zhuge Ming.

Since they were old acquaintances; the Day Traveler let it go.

She glanced at Lin Yuan and got straight to the point, ”In the next few days, you’d better find somewhere to hide.”

Lin Yuan: ”?????”

Not understanding what she meant, Lin Yuan asked in confusion, ”What do you mean by that?”

”The Zhang Family has hired an expert to kill you with a Blood Pill as payment. His name is Yang Jing, and his tattoo is True Monarch Erlang. I don’t know the extent of his awakening.”

”In short, I have no power to resist him.”

”I think he’s stronger than you. You’d better hide for a few days,” the Day Traveler cautioned.

Lin Yuan was the Day Traveler’s partner now, and she didn’t want anything to happen to him, at least not before the Zhang Family and the Deceitful King Faction were destroyed.

You think he’s stronger than me?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan felt slightly underestimated.

I don’t want your opinion; I want my own.

Thinking it over, Lin Yuan decided he needed to show the Day Traveler what he was capable of.

”What about now?” Lin Yuan asked.

Day Traveler: ”?????”

This time it was the Day Traveler’s turn to be confused. She had just seen Lin Yuan’s body seem to flicker, and then he was gone.

”Don’t feel anything strange?” Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow at the Day Traveler.

The Day Traveler frowned and then blushed as she cursed, ”Are you freaking insane?”

The Day Traveler noticed that the strap at the back of her undergarment had somehow loosened, now hanging precariously as if it might fall off at any moment.

”Sorry.”

”I’ll buckle it back for you,” Lin Yuan said nonchalantly. Before the Day Traveler could object, he flickered again.

The next moment, the Day Traveler felt her undergarment strap had been fastened again.

The Day Traveler’s face was now so red it was almost dripping. Then, she suddenly realized Lin Yuan seemed stronger than before.

Lin Yuan’s movements, right in front of her eyes, amidst her guarded anticipation, were utterly imperceptible, only visible as a flicker.

”You have no power to resist him, just as you have none against me,” Lin Yuan said in a calm tone.

”If I wanted to kill you just now, your head would have fallen off without you feeling a thing.” Lin Yuan spoke nonchalantly.
