Su Qingqian: Boss, What Are You Going to Do?

Lin Hui looked at Su Qingqian.

"Qingqian, take out that little invention of yours. Let's give it a try."

Su Qingqian immediately took out a small black device that looked like a walkie-talkie and waved it in front of the goateed man.

"What's that?" The goateed man froze.

"A voiceprint simulator." Su Qingqian smiled sweetly.

"I recorded all your screams, your talking, and your swearing just now. With voiceprint analysis and synthesis, I can perfectly imitate your voice."

With that, she flipped the switch and spoke into the microphone. "Boss, I'm in danger! Requesting backup!"

Something chilling happened.

The voice coming from the speaker really was the goateed man's slightly hoarse, smoke-and-booze-roughened voice, complete with a faint tremor of pain! Even his tone was reproduced perfectly!

"You... you people..."

The goateed man's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole body began trembling violently.

He suddenly understood what Lin Hui intended to do.

"With this, I can impersonate you and lure that hall master... out."

Lin Hui took the Voiceprint Simulator, his gaze icy.

"I won't have to go looking for him. I can make him come to his own death."

"You devil!" the goateed man screamed in despair. He realized that this young man before him, who looked like a college student, was even more terrifying than the Feral Wolf Guild!

The goateed man seemed to think of something. He opened his system panel, intending to send a message.

But the moment Lin Hui saw the goateed man's blue system interface appear, he understood what the man was thinking.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

A wisp of smoke rose from the Axe Gun in Lin Hui's hand.

A bloody hole appeared between the goateed man's eyebrows. His eyes, filled with shock and resentment, were frozen forever in that moment.

Even as he died, he had never imagined he would become an accomplice in an ambush against his boss in this way.

Seeing this, the driver beside him desperately shrank back, forcing an expression uglier than a grimace onto his face.

"Boss, I'll keep everything that happened today a secret. I won't go back to the Feral Wolf Guild, either. They forced me into it before... now, I just want to be a good person..."

"You... you said you'd let me go..."

Lin Hui glanced at the driver, his gaze calm.

"I promised you just now that I wouldn't kill you."

Joy surged through the driver. He was just about to kowtow in thanks.

"But..."

Lin Hui changed tack, looking toward Liu Xi in the distance and shrugging.

"She never made that promise."

The driver froze, then whipped his head around to look at Liu Xi.

He was met by her utterly emotionless eyes.

Bang!

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Xi pulled the trigger.

She had no mercy to spare for villains like this, who helped monsters commit atrocities and had innocent blood on their hands. Rooting out evil completely was the first lesson she had learned in the apocalypse.

Ten minutes later.

With all the supplies collected, the RV set off again.

Inside the vehicle.

Su Qingqian cracked the communicator they had found on the goateed man and handed it to Lin Hui.

"Boss, someone's asking for 'Hu Wei' on the communicator."

Lin Hui pressed the red button. After a burst of static, a deep male voice rang out.

"Number Three, how's it going? Have you found the target? Respond if you receive this!"

Lin Hui recognized the voice. When he had eavesdropped earlier, the goateed man had called this man Second Brother.

So he took out the [Voiceprint Simulator], drew a deep breath, and steadied himself and his breathing.

Then he pressed the green message button.

The next second, the "goateed man's" raspy voice rang out. "Second Brother, no sign of the target yet! I'm about to head toward Cauldron City."

Soon, the deep male voice sounded again. "Good! Pick up the pace! Don't hold up the guild leader's business!"

Seeing Lin Hui put down the Voiceprint Simulator, Su Qingqian blinked her big eyes and asked, "Boss, what do we do next?"

Lin Hui opened the map on the central control screen and smiled. "Find them a burial site, of course."

The three of them then studied the map.

In the end, they chose an [Abandoned Hospital] more than five hundred kilometers away.

After settling on the location, Lin Hui looked at the girl beside him and said:

"Qingqian, keep modifying the anti-tank mines. Put those grenades to use, too, and make more. We'll have quite a few enemies this time, so we need to cover a larger area with mines."

"Also, make some more powerful aerial bombs! The kind that can blow up level-five vehicles!"

"Okay!" Su Qingqian nodded firmly.

Lin Hui shifted his gaze toward Liu Xi, who was wiping down her sniper rifle again.

Her obsession with cleanliness seemed quite severe. Whenever she had a spare moment, she cleaned her gun.

Lin Hui smiled and said softly:

"Liu Xi, you used to be a CEO, so you're good at negotiating deals. Would you mind taking on a little more work and handling our purchasing from now on?"

He wasn't in the habit of watching the regional chat channel, so he missed plenty of information and items.

If Liu Xi could take over, it would make things much easier for him.

Sitting on the sofa, Liu Xi straightened her back, putting her shapely figure on full display.

She rolled her eyes at Lin Hui. Of course she knew what he was thinking.

In her original world, she had always been the one giving orders. No one had ever bossed her around.

Still.

She owed Lin Hui her life.

Until the mission in Cauldron City was finished, she was his employee.

Actually, this life is pretty good, and the RV is powerful, too. Do I really need to establish a guild?

The thought startled Liu Xi. She realized that her resolve had begun to waver.

She gave Lin Hui a conflicted look and sighed. "No problem."

Lin Hui smiled. "Thanks for taking on the extra work, Liu Xi."

Hearing their conversation, Su Qingqian turned around and said with a smile:

"Liu Xi, keep an eye out for gunpowder, sensors, batteries, and things like that for me..."

After this battle, Su Qingqian had realized the strategic importance of drones.

She intended to see whether she could build some herself.

"Sure!" Liu Xi noted it down, then looked at Lin Hui. "Boss, what about you?"

Lin Hui chuckled and took out a list he had prepared earlier.

Liu Xi took it and looked it over. The items included gene potions, mental power potions, extraordinary items, level-six vehicle upgrade blueprints, reconnaissance radar chips...

Liu Xi looked up and reminded him, "Don't you need advanced bulletproof glass?"

She remembered that advanced bulletproof glass was one of the materials needed to upgrade the RV to level five.

"We don't need that."

"Oh." Liu Xi nodded lightly, then thought of something and said:

"Boss, aren't you going to give me some supplies?"

"If someone offers these items for trade in the chat channel, there'll definitely be plenty of competition."

"If I have to ask you for supplies first, I won't be able to beat the others to them."

That was true... Lin Hui nodded, then looked at Liu Xi and Su Qingqian. "Both of you, come with me. I'll take you somewhere."

"Boss, where are we going?" Su Qingqian asked.

"You'll find out when we get there." Lin Hui winked.

The RV stopped in a secluded spot.

He led Liu Xi and Su Qingqian into his bedroom.

"Huh?" Su Qingqian glanced around the room, and her pretty face instantly turned as red as an apple. She whispered, "Boss, what are you going to do? With me and Liu Xi together? That's so embarrassing..."

Lin Hui glanced at Su Qingqian, then realized that the girl had gotten the wrong idea.

He tilted his head and looked at her with a teasing smile. "We already know each other so well. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"I..." Su Qingqian nervously twisted two fingers together and stammered, "Actually, um, you do have a point. Um, it's not like I couldn't..."

As though she had made some momentous decision, she suddenly raised her head, only to find that Lin Hui was no longer beside her.

Shifting her gaze, Su Qingqian saw Lin Hui and Liu Xi standing beside a storage cabinet.

The corners of Lin Hui's mouth lifted as he chuckled. "Haven't you always wondered where the supplies dropped by monsters we kill and the materials from dismantled vehicles go?"
