Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 107 – Pokémon Battle

For the next five days, Lin Fan was like a tourist visiting Jiangcheng.

Ever since the apocalypse began, her taut nerves had never known a moment of relaxation.

She was either scavenging for supplies, fighting, or plotting against others.

But now, strolling down the empty streets of Jiangcheng in a new black silk long dress and exquisite high heels, she felt an unprecedented sense of… ease.

Yes, ease.

Even though countless pairs of hollow, bloodthirsty eyes were watching her from both sides of the street.

The Zombies, once terrifying enough to make anyone flee in fear, were now as docile as a flock of sheep before her.

“God-level charm,” an ability evolved from Liu Ruyan’s talent, had an effect that far exceeded Lin Fan’s expectations.

It wasn’t just effective on humans.

It also possessed an almost divine suppressive power over these monsters that were left with only their instincts.

They wouldn’t attack her. In fact, as she walked past, they would unconsciously retreat, clearing a wide path for her.

It was as if they were welcoming their queen.

“This feels amazing!”

A faint smile played on Lin Fan’s lips as she enjoyed this star treatment.

“Roar!”

At a street corner ahead, a burly Mutant Zombie nearly three meters tall suddenly smashed through a wall and appeared before Lin Fan.

Its body was a mass of knotted muscles, and its skin had a rock-like grayish-brown hue. It was clearly a Mutant specialized in defense and strength.

Upon seeing Lin Fan, a “living being,” its murky eyes instantly erupted with a greedy, ferocious light, and it roared as it charged toward her.

Lin Fan stopped and watched it with great interest.

She didn’t make a move herself.

Her rainbow-colored eyes simply flickered, glancing at the ordinary Zombies lining the streets.

Hum…

An invisible wave of Mental Strength spread out like a ripple.

The next second, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The hundreds of ordinary Zombies that had been standing quietly on both sides of the street, as if receiving some kind of command, all turned their heads in unison. Their hollow eye sockets all locked onto the charging Mutant.

“Roar…?”

The Mutant Zombie’s low-level intelligence seemed to sense that something was wrong, and its charge faltered for a moment.

But it was too late.

“Go.”

Lin Fan’s red lips parted, uttering a single word.

“ROAR!!!”

The hundreds of Zombies instantly went berserk. Like a school of sharks that had smelled blood, they swarmed the Mutant from all directions, charging fearlessly to their deaths.

Biting, scratching, piling on top of each other.

The powerful Mutant, like a giant elephant caught in an ant swarm, could initially swing its thick arms to smash a few ordinary Zombies into pulp.

But soon, it was completely submerged by the endless tide of corpses.

Layers upon layers of Zombies pinned it down, gnawing at it madly.

A shrill roar echoed through the street, but it quickly grew faint.

Lin Fan stood not far away, as if watching an amusing play.

She murmured to herself.

“Isn’t it much more fun to play like this?”

She could feel that after merging with Bai Lu’s Skin, the quality of her Mental Strength had far surpassed what Bai Lu originally possessed.

If she wished, she could even control tens of thousands of Zombies to fight for her at once.

This was practically a tireless, fearless army of the undead.

A few minutes later, the battle was over.

All that remained of the powerful Mutant was a shattered skeleton.

Lin Fan raised her hand, activating her Mental Strength.

A Crystal glowing with a yellow luster flew out from the Mutant’s skull and landed steadily in her palm.

“Hmm, another level-two defense Crystal.”

She casually tossed the Crystal into her Storage Space and continued her stroll as if nothing had happened.

For these five days, she was like a queen walking through her own private garden, casually clearing out some “weeds.”

She called this activity… Pokémon pet battles.

It was novel and fun.

It wasn’t until the evening of the fifth day that she started to get a little tired of it.

“I’ve had my fun. Time to go back and see how Zhou Ming and the others are doing.”

Lin Fan stretched, her perfect curves looking particularly alluring under the setting sun.

With a thought, her body slowly rose into the air and transformed into a streak of light, flying toward the Jiangcheng Industrial Park.

…

When Lin Fan’s figure appeared in the sky above the industrial park, the entire stronghold erupted.

“It’s Lei Jie! Lei Jie is back!”

“Look! It’s our leader!”

Countless survivors ran out of the factory buildings and dormitories, craning their necks to gaze at the god-like figure in the sky with an almost fanatical and worshipful look.

Lin Fan slowly descended onto the roof of the tallest factory building.

Zhang Jie and Zhou Ming were already waiting there.

“Lei… Lei Li… you’re back.”

Seeing Lin Fan, Zhang Jie’s attitude was one of utmost reverence.

The previous battle against Chen Jinlong had made him completely submit to this powerful, goddess-like woman.

“Lily, you’re back.”

Zhou Ming’s voice was much more natural. He stepped forward, a hint of subtle concern in his eyes.

“Yes. How are things going?”

Lin Fan nodded, her gaze falling on Zhou Ming.

“Everything is proceeding according to your plan,” Zhou Ming replied.

“It only took us three days to absorb all the remnants of Mao Shi’s and Chen Jinlong’s forces. The few remaining small strongholds, after hearing the news, also came to pledge their allegiance voluntarily. We met no resistance.”

Zhang Jie nodded repeatedly beside him, adding, “Right now, our entire Jiangcheng stronghold has a total population exceeding two thousand one hundred! Among them, the number of Evolved beings has reached one hundred and thirty-seven!”

At the mention of this number, Zhang Jie’s face was filled with excitement and pride.

Over two thousand people!

In the apocalypse, this was definitely a behemoth-level force.

And all of this was just because of the arrival of the woman before them.

“Very good.”

Lin Fan’s reaction, however, was very calm, as if this was just a trivial matter she had expected.

She looked at Zhou Ming, a trace of approval in her rainbow-colored eyes.

“You did well.”

Hearing her praise, Zhou Ming’s heart skipped a beat, but he tried hard to keep his expression calm.

“It’s all because you planned it well, Lily. I was just executing it.”

Lin Fan chuckled lightly and didn’t continue the topic.

She turned to Zhang Jie and said, “Zhang Jie, you did well too. From now on, the Jiangcheng stronghold will still be nominally under your management.”

“Yes! I understand! Please rest assured!” Zhang Jie quickly promised.

He knew very well that his role as “leader” was just for show. The real person in power was Lei Li, who stood before him.

But he was willing.

As long as the survivors could live safely in the apocalypse, it didn’t matter to him whether he was the leader or not.

Besides, latching onto such a powerful backer was something countless people could only dream of.

“A plan for resource allocation needs to be drawn up as soon as possible. Prioritize the Evolved beings, but the lives of ordinary people must also be guaranteed. I don’t want anyone starving to death in my stronghold,” Lin Fan continued to instruct.

“Understood!” Zhang Jie and Zhou Ming replied in unison.

After arranging everything, Lin Fan walked to the edge of the rooftop, gazing at the distant skyline.

The Hangcheng base, the Jiangcheng stronghold.

She now controlled two massive forces and had hundreds of Evolved beings under her command.

This power was enough to sweep away any opponent in the nearby region.

Her confidence in heading to Modu had grown even stronger.

Zhou Ming looked at her back, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, “Lily, what’s our… plan for what’s next?”

Lin Fan didn’t turn around, only saying faintly, “In three days, I’m leaving.”

“Leaving? Where to?” Zhou Ming was a little confused.

Lin Fan turned around, her silver bun swaying gently in the evening breeze. Her rainbow-colored eyes glinted with a heart-stopping light.

“Modu.”
