Chapter 122: Chapter 122: A Beast in Gentleman’s Attire, More Children More Blessings?

Ye Xinglan waved her hand.

She signaled her subordinates to drag away those traitors.

Soon, only a few core members remained on the deck.

Ye Xinglan then stepped forward, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Ji.

"Captain Lin is straightforward, so I won’t beat around the bush either."

"Since you were able to deal with our guild’s former vice president so quickly."

"It shows that your combat strength has earned my recognition."

"Since we are to cooperate."

Ye Xinglan looked at Lin Ji and suddenly smiled.

Her beautiful eyes swept over Lin Ji, her tone brimming with confidence.

"Captain Lin, before that, I must first share some heavy news with you."

"Members of the Apocalypse Guild have already landed on the island."

Hearing this, Lin Ji stroked his chin, his expression showing little fluctuation.

"President Ye’s Intelligence network is truly impressive."

"As far as I know, visibility in the nearby waters isn’t high. How did you discover them?"

Ye Xinglan’s lips curled slightly, carrying a hint of confidence.

"Although I’ve only been in this world for a few days, I’ve put a lot of effort into managing our waters. Naturally, I have my own methods."

"Among those Apocalypse teams, I have a mole."

She sighed softly, a trace of gravity flashing in her eyes.

"Although they haven’t officially begun searching the island yet, they have indeed disembarked."

Hearing the word "mole," a flicker of admiration passed through Lin Ji’s eyes.

Truly worthy of being the president of the third-ranked guild.

To plant a spy within a behemoth like Apocalypse—this level of cunning is not something an ordinary woman could match.

Ye Xinglan had expected Lin Ji to show some surprise upon hearing this news.

But Lin Ji showed no expression, merely nodding to indicate he understood.

"However, since you know they’ve already arrived."

"And they’re right under our noses, why do you still appear so calm?"

Lin Ji didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to look at the hunched-over Granny Fu behind her.

"What I’m more curious about is, President Ye, aren’t your own trump cards quite formidable too?"

He extended a finger, gesturing vaguely toward Granny Fu.

"An A+ rank Space-type, plus this... Granny Fu, who is proficient in toxins and Dark Energy."

"With the two of you working together, you should be able to dominate this small island."

"Even against Gu Yixuan, you shouldn’t be so restrained, should you?"

Before Ye Xinglan could respond, Granny Fu behind her chuckled first.

"Hehehe..."

The hoarse laughter sounded like nails scraping glass, unpleasant to the ears.

"Young man, you overestimate this old woman, a piece of deadwood."

The old woman leaned on her wooden cane, breathing with some difficulty.

"I’m already eighty-two years old, half buried in the ground."

"Moving around just now nearly took my old life."

She waved her trembling hand weakly, indicating she truly was just a burden.

Lin Ji watched her coldly, inwardly sneering.

Acting.

Keep acting.

This old woman, Granny Fu before him, gave him an extremely eerie and powerful feeling.

She was definitely not the frail, delicate figure she pretended to be on the surface.

But since she wasn’t willing to exert herself, he couldn’t be bothered to expose her.

A trace of helplessness flashed across Ye Xinglan’s face.

"Aunt Fu’s health really isn’t good, and this Toxin Talent has significant side effects."

"Originally, our Rose Society had another A-grade combatant."

At this point, she glanced at the corpse on the ground.

"Unfortunately, he was a traitor, and you killed him too."

"Now, aside from me, most of the Rose Society are girls with Support-type Talents."

"We truly struggle against Apocalypse’s combat squads."

Lin Ji raised an eyebrow.

"How many people did Apocalypse send this time?"

Ye Xinglan’s expression grew serious.

"According to my intelligence, Apocalypse dispatched a full combat squad this time."

"Led by two A-grade experts."

"Plus, as you told me earlier, that Gu Yixuan with Thunder Power hiding in the shadows."

"In addition, there are five B-grade experts."

"Two of them have already reached B+ grade."

Ye Xinglan sighed.

"This lineup is enough to sweep through ordinary second-rate guilds."

Lin Ji fell silent for a moment.

Two A-grade, five B-grade, plus a hidden A+ grade.

A single squad from the Apocalypse Guild was already this powerful?

Directly overpowering the third-ranked Rose Society.

But then he reconsidered.

The reason the Rose Society could rank third.

Probably had a lot to do with this old woman, Granny Fu, who constantly complained about back pain.

If this old lady really went all out.

Aside from that Gu Yixuan with Thunder Power, who could counter her.

Everyone else, even A-grade experts of the same level, would likely be poisoned to death by her.

After all, Granny Fu was A+ grade, and possessed an extremely rare, eerie Mutated Dark Energy.

If she truly fought with her life on the line, she could easily handle two A-grade experts of the same level alone.

As Lin Ji pondered this.

"Aren’t you worried at all?"

Seeing Lin Ji’s calm expression, Ye Xinglan couldn’t help but ask.

This Captain Lin’s mental fortitude was almost unnervingly strong.

Lin Ji stretched lazily, a series of faint cracks coming from his joints.

"What’s the use of worrying?"

"Before setting out today, I did a divination for myself."

"Today, I’ll face danger but emerge unscathed."

He looked into Ye Xinglan’s watery eyes, a faint, elusive curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Especially after just reaching a cooperation agreement with President Ye."

"As long as I maintain a good relationship with you, I probably won’t lose a single hair today."

Ye Xinglan felt somewhat uneasy under his gaze.

This man’s eyes were too invasive.

As if they could see through a person’s clothes, straight into the depths of their soul.

She avoided Lin Ji’s gaze and continued sharing intelligence.

"The reason Apocalypse is making such a big move this time is because of their S-rank Prophet."

"The Prophet predicted that Apocalypse will face a severe resource shortage in the next phase."

"So Gu Tianming issued a strict order to mobilize the entire guild’s strength to plunder the sea’s resources."

"For this, he didn’t hesitate to openly provoke the Sea Monster overlords on the open sea."

Lin Ji’s eyes sharpened.

"Provoke the Sea Monster overlords?"

Ye Xinglan nodded.

"Just yesterday, the Apocalypse Guild’s flagship forcibly surrounded and killed a Level 5 Mutated Sea Monster."

"As a result, it angered a big one in this sea area."

"That’s a Level 6 Deep Sea Overlord."

"Right now, that flagship of the Apocalypse Guild is being chased by that monster."

Lin Ji was stunned for a moment.

A Level 5 Sea Monster, and they just killed it like that?

And against a Level 6 overlord, they could still leisurely kite it?

"Since the flagship is tied up, wouldn’t that give us more of an opportunity?"

Lin Ji asked.

Ye Xinglan shook her head.

"Although the Apocalypse’s main force is tied up, they’ve scattered all their squads out."

"They’re not afraid of that Level 6 Sea Monster at all."

"I guess Gu Tianming’s plan is to first harvest resource islands through the various squads."

"Once they’ve developed enough, they’ll turn back and slaughter that Level 6 too."

Lin Ji fell silent.

The development speed of this Apocalypse Guild was astonishingly fast.

This was the rhythm of completely dominating this Bone Burial Sea.

"Since the Apocalypse is so strong, why don’t you choose to join them?"

Lin Ji suddenly posed a sharp question.

"With your looks and A+ grade Spatial Talent."

"If you went to the Apocalypse, Gu Tianming would probably give you a very high position, right?"

Hearing Gu Tianming’s name, Ye Xinglan reacted strongly.

She snorted coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain.

"Join him?"

"That Gu Tianming is nothing but a beast in human clothing, a complete lecher!"

"You have no idea, that flagship of the Apocalypse has practically become his harem."

"Any female Awakened who’s even slightly good-looking gets tricked into his bed by all sorts of means."

"I’ve heard that on the flagship now, over a dozen women are already pregnant with his children."

Ye Xinglan’s words carried undisguised disgust.

However.

Upon hearing this.

A bolt of lightning flashed through Lin Ji’s mind, and he was also somewhat bewildered.

His entire body stiffened abruptly.

Over a dozen women... all pregnant?

In this resource-scarce, precarious Survival World.

How could a normal person have the mind to knock up so many people?

Moreover, as a major player, shouldn’t Gu Tianming value combat strength more?

Unless...

Lin Ji’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Could it be...
