Good Habits

!?

Wen Ya's face went pale as she stood there blankly. 520 Official Website

By then, Lin An had already taken off his shirt.

His lean, powerful muscles were clearly defined, his abs pronounced.

Unlike muscles built through years of fitness training or deliberate exercise,

after awakening and loading the Savior Template, his body had been perfectly enhanced by the system.

His limbs were long, his lines smooth, and his skin translucent like jade.

His taut muscles were not exaggerated, yet they carried an unmistakable, terrifying strength.

He actually looks pretty good...

The thought inexplicably surfaced in Wen Ya's heart, and she hurriedly snuffed it out.

Her previously relaxed mind instantly became far more vigilant.

What should I do if he tries to force himself on me?

Kill myself? Or what?

Her mind was a mess.

If her first time were taken by a stranger, someone with her personality would rather end her own life.

Yet she kept feeling that Lin An had a peculiar aura that made her unable to resist drawing close to him, her thoughts growing hazy.

Damn it!

Wen Ya struggled to clear her mind.

Just as Wen Ya's thoughts ran wild, Lin An suddenly turned around.

"My back."

"Does it have the same pattern?"

The reason Lin An had suddenly taken off his shirt was that he had thought he might also possess the distinctive markings of a Mutant.

He simply had not seen any on the front of his body.

If the markings existed, then he would need to be careful not to expose his identity as a Mutant in the future.

After all, the existence of Mutants was a temptation to everyone.

"Ah...?"

Only after hearing Lin An's words did Wen Ya come back to her senses.

Fortunately, Lin An had already turned around and could not see the embarrassment written across her face.

"N-No."

Wen Ya carefully examined him.

There was nothing on Lin An's smooth, inverted-triangle back.

Lin An frowned slightly at her answer.

How could there be nothing?

After being reborn, his Will had already reached 12 points before awakening. It could be said that he had absolutely met one of the requirements for becoming a Mutant.

Could it be that he was not a Mutant?

Or were the markings lower down?

A string of questions left Lin An confused.

His brow furrowed slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin An ultimately gave up on the idea of taking off his pants.

He had only been acting on a whim, wanting to see whether he was a Mutant.

Even if he was not, it was no big deal.

After all, being a Mutant did not offer much help to one's own strength. Instead, it made one an easy target for others' covetous eyes.

Forget it. He would inspect himself later when he was alone.

"Rustle, rustle."

Lin An decisively gave up on taking off his pants in front of her.

However, Lin An did not know that Wen Ya had been too embarrassed to inspect him carefully just now.

At the edge of his pants behind him, a tiny dark-purple marking flashed past.

After putting his shirt back on, Lin An turned around and looked directly at Wen Ya.

"I'll get straight to the point."

"Join my team and serve me."

Wen Ya froze slightly as their gazes met.

Lin An's eyes were calm, yet filled with pressure.

Serve him?

Wen Ya hesitated.

She did not mind joining Lin An's team.

He had not touched her or taken advantage of her vulnerability.

And she had seen Lin An's strength for herself.

After the Doomsday Game began, most people with even a little intelligence had realized after seeing the zombies that this world might no longer be the world it once was.

As an ordinary person, and a girl at that, she knew very well that she could not even get off this highway on her own.

But the word "serve" implied many things.

"What does serving you mean? Or what do you want me to do?"

"Obey all of my commands."

Lin An did not like beating around the bush, and his words were brief and direct.

Wen Ya lowered her head and crossed her arms in front of herself. Having taken off her shirt, she felt a chill.

"All of them?"

"Do I have to listen to you in everything?"

After a moment of silence, she asked softly and cautiously.

Without Lin An's permission, she did not dare put her clothes back on.

Beneath her girlish shyness, she could only barely shield the patch of snowy white before her chest.

"That's right."

Lin An did not care about such details. He merely glanced at the time on his watch, faint impatience rising within him.

"Can I refuse?"

Wen Ya hesitated before raising her head.

Anything at all.

Would that not mean placing even her life and death in his hands?

"You can refuse."

"But then you'll die."

Lin An released his Killing Intent without concealing it in the slightest.

He had saved Wen Ya purely because she was useful to him.

But if she would not cooperate,

then an obedient Mutant was better off dead.

Mutants were meant to fight alongside him in battle. He would never allow them to harbor any disloyal thoughts.

As for whether Wen Ya might pretend to agree and play along for now,

he had his own way of dealing with that after she agreed.

There were quite a few items in the Doomsday Game that could forcibly bind someone with a Master-Servant Contract.

And he happened to know where one was.

Therefore,

if Wen Ya refused, he would not allow a Mutant to remain beyond his control.

In the Doomsday Game, Players not only had to struggle before zombies, but people could also become enemies at any moment.

If Wen Ya joined someone else's team in the future, she might cause him trouble.

Wen Ya felt Lin An's increasingly intense Killing Intent.

She sighed inwardly.

She could tell that if she refused,

then the shattered head on the ground would become her fate.

Thinking of this, she no longer put on the airs of a timid young girl.

She knew what choice to make between life and death.

Besides, Lin An could be considered her savior. Apart from being somewhat cold and ruthless, he did not seem to have any other problems.

"I agree."

"Can you tell me now why you insist that I join you?"

"And..."

Wen Ya bit her lip tightly, a trace of pleading in her eyes.

"Can I put my clothes on first?"

Lin An said nothing. He nodded and turned around.

Though Wen Ya had a good figure, he had no mind to think about such things right now.

A moment later, Wen Ya had dressed herself.

But when she saw that her once shoulder-length hair had been cut off in jagged chunks as if chewed by a dog, she could not help but give a bitter smile.

Lin An glanced at it, then led the way ahead.

"Follow me."

"Don't keep your hair that long in the future."

"In battle, long hair will only affect your performance."

Wen Ya pursed her lips, but she did not dare reply. She merely tied up her hair in silence.

Lin An walked quickly, forcing her to jog all the way behind him.

What a... cold man.

I wonder what he has been through.

Walking ahead, Lin An paid no attention to Wen Ya's little emotions.

He stared fixedly at the light screen before him.

The instant Wen Ya agreed to join him, a light screen had suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Savior Template: Team Function activated."

"Current members:"

"1. Lin An — Captain (Savior Template host, Tier 0 Awakener.)"
