Chapter 73

I Can't Bear to Use Force on You

Zhou Si wanted to kiss him recklessly, but when he looked up and met those eyes that showed no emotion whatsoever, he gave a self-deprecating smile.

His head drooped slightly, his forehead resting on Su Yuan's shoulder.

His voice was listless, "You're just taking advantage of the fact that I like you and can't bring myself to use force on you."

Su Yuan reached out and pushed his head up, waving her index finger back and forth, her tone firm, "No, I trust my own fists more."

If he really dares, she will definitely punch him without hesitation.

Zhou Si had witnessed Su Yuan's slaps before; they were surprisingly powerful.

If it weren't for the healing medicine, he would have had to bear the slap mark for at least half a month.

He smirked, "Alright, I'm not going to put on an act for once."

Anyway, he would chase away all the flies around the little guy.

It's just a male ghost, so I'll just treat it as a pastime to keep the little thing entertained.

It's just something that can't be presented in a respectable way.

He does have that much magnanimity.

Zhou Si calmed himself down once again and stepped on the gas pedal again.

The Federation covers a vast area; it could easily be described as an independent city.

Xia Guo had given a brief introduction to the Federation's academies, but seeing them in person was a completely different experience.

The colleges were clearly distinguished, and the sports car stopped at the entrance of the Pharmacy College after making a few turns.

With such a scale and such coordination, if such a place had existed in the apocalypse, humanity wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

Su Yuan glanced around briefly and followed Zhou Si into the academy.

"Steward Su Yuan, you've finally arrived." The staff of the purification chamber greeted her.

She smiled politely, "The purification chamber will be ready soon."

The purification chamber requires extremely rare materials, and the Federation currently only has five purification chambers, so they naturally need to take turns waiting in line.

The precision-engineered steel gate opens to both sides.

A staff member immediately approached, making a checkmark on a piece of cardboard with a professional smile, "Deacon Feng Yao, your purification chamber has seventeen uses remaining. We await your next use."

Feng Yao was dressed in a black hooded short-sleeved sweatshirt, black motorcycle pants, and matching black Martin boots. He was tall and slender, with overly long, messy hair that obscured his features.

He exudes a mysterious and dark aura.

He nodded, glanced at Su Yuan and Zhou Si, put on his hat, pulled the brim down, and quickly left.

"Steward Su Yuan, we can go in now," the staff member in charge of Su Yuan said softly.

Su Yuan lay down in the purification chamber.

The transparent glass slowly closed.

An energy capable of consuming the residual evil energy in the human body emerged within the purification chamber, its pale blue light scanning the entire body.

About ten minutes later, the purification chamber opened.

The staff kindly informed her, "Deacon Su Yuan, you have two more uses left. If you wish to use it again, please contact me in advance, and I will arrange a time for you."

Su Yuan nodded and added her contact information.

"Look! It's Captain Qi! What's Captain Qi doing at the Pharmacy Academy?"

"The Ability Development Academy is several kilometers away from the Pharmacy Academy, right? Is Captain Qi here to use the purification chamber? I didn't hear that Captain Qi made an appointment for today."

Everyone was puzzled.

If people knew Captain Qi was coming, countless people in the college would have run out of the lab to watch.

"With that head of red hair, could that guy be the rumored new presiding judge of the arbitration tribunal? Wow, he's so handsome!"

Someone added, "They're comparable to Professor Song, who helped us overcome our pharmaceutical challenges!"

Zhou Si cracked his neck. "What are you here for?"

He had no idea that Qi Lin needed to use the purification chamber.

Qi Lin's gaze was steady, and his whole being exuded a cold aura. "Take a statement."

Zhou Si frowned, clearly displeased. "The little thing just came out of a dungeon; it needs rest now."

"This won't delay things; I'll take her back." Qi Lin calmly took out the recording pen.

"Clatter!"

Zhou Si slapped the recording pen out of Qi Lin's hand, his eyes flashing with malice. "What if I say no?"

Qi Lin suddenly produced a black and gold gun in his hand. He coldly raised his hand and pointed the gun at Zhou Si's head.

Zhou Si remained unfazed, his tone dismissive, "An S-rank artifact? You think it can harm me?"

He raised his hand and gripped the gun in reverse. "Come on, fire this way."

Qi Lin kept his eyes straight ahead, his thumb moved quickly, and his index finger pressed down without hesitation.

"Bang!--"

A loud gunshot rang out in the purification chamber, alarms sounded one after another, and a series of security personnel rushed in.

Su Yuan grabbed Zhou Si by the back of his collar with one hand, while looking at Qi Lin with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Captain, shooting your own people inside the academy."

She released Zhou Si, clasped her hands together, and began to clap.

"Captain Qi is truly awe-inspiring."

Zhou Si had a bead of cold sweat on his cheek. Damn it, Qi Lin is a madman!

No wonder the Qi family didn't want him.

"You dare to shoot at me? You're asking for it!" Zhou Si wished he could pierce him with his magic nails.

"Zhou Si, are you going to start a fight here?" Su Yuan glared at him.

Zhou Si quickly changed his mind.

The little one is worried about him!

Sure enough, she still had her own feelings for him.

In fact, Su Yuan was just worried that if the gods fought, the innocent bystanders would be affected, since she already had a huge amount of debt and was really overwhelmed.

Qi Lin turned the black gold gun upside down and swiftly shot himself in the backhand.

Zhou Si scoffed dismissively, "I knew you wouldn't have the guts."

Loading cargo.

What's the point of carrying two broken guns?

He's a man with twenty-seven nails.

The security team that surrounded them discovered that the guns were unloaded.

The security captain quickly ordered: "Evacuate."

Su Yuan raised her hands, her words mocking, "Captain Qi is in such a hurry, it seems I've committed a serious offense."

She clenched her fists, brought them together, and moved closer to Qi Lin. "Arrest or kill?"

Qi Lin put away his gun. "Sorry."

"Captain Qi actually apologized! My goodness, who exactly is this female deacon? I've never seen her before!"

"I told you your Pharmacy Academy is full of drug fanatics. This lady is a new member of the first team, B-rank deacon Su Yuan. You don't even know that?" The man showed a disdainful expression, as if to say, "You don't even know that?"

Su Yuan shrugged and smiled, "I'm very magnanimous. If the captain really feels guilty, he might as well talk to the chairman more about how the unexpected incident in this dungeon has dealt a huge blow to my fragile heart."

"Please remember to deduct a lot more from my debt."

Qi Lin remained silent, seemingly considering the feasibility, before finally uttering a few words, "I'll try my best."

Zhou Si stirred up trouble from the sidelines, "Little brat, you're not a good captain. Otherwise, I'll beg you, how about you come to the arbitration tribunal with the benefits and treatment according to my standards?"

"A dull and boring guy like Qi Lin only gets along with those oddballs in the first squad."

Does Su Yuan not want to? No, she can't!

Zhou Si, that guy, always brings up the most sensitive topics.

After leaving the first squad, she was owed 190 million.

This is unbearable.

Fortunately, the apocalypse taught her a skill: survival of the fittest.

Su Yuan slapped Zhou Si across the face, afraid that Zhou Si had really offended Qi Lin.

"Shut up, Captain, this is called being conscientious and responsible. Get out of here."

This time, Zhou Si wouldn't let Su Yuan hit him. He reacted quickly, grabbed Su Yuan's wrist, and smiled wickedly at Qi Lin, "Since the little thing has said so..."

"Then..."
