Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 46 – Steel Fortress

The drone’s propellers emitted a faint hum as it slowly flew out the window under Xiao Wang’s skilled control.

The image on the screen started from the top floor of the Fragrant Hills International building, gradually revealing a panoramic view of the entire city.

Abandoned cars blocked the streets haphazardly, and shattered glass glinted eerily in the sunlight.

In the distance, black smoke rose from several collapsed buildings, like tentacles from hell reaching for the sky.

“It’s flying so steadily.” Lei Li nodded, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes.

Xiao Wang pushed up his glasses, his face filled with pride. “This is military-grade. Its battery life is excellent, more than enough for us to complete the reconnaissance mission.”

Lin Fan stood beside Lei Li, her small face tilted up, her eyes full of curiosity. “It’s so amazing, like a little bird flying in the sky.”

Her voice was soft, sweet, and cloying, making all the men present unable to resist sneaking a few more glances at her.

Lei Li reached out and gently stroked her hair, her movements as tender as if she were handling a fragile porcelain doll.

“Once the reconnaissance is complete, we can formulate a detailed plan of action.”

Lei Li recalled the drone and turned off the screen. “That’s all for today. The reconnaissance will officially begin tomorrow.”

She turned to the group, her voice carrying an authority that brooked no argument. “Ah Hu, take some men to the underground garage and pick out a few sturdy vehicles.”

“Pickups and SUVs are the priority. They need to have high horsepower and thick bodies.”

Ah Hu immediately stood up. “Understood, Lei-jie!”

“Xiao Li, find a welder. Weld steel bars onto the car windows and install anti-collision bumpers.”

“It’s a twenty-kilometer journey. We need to drive there, and we can’t afford any accidents on the road.”

Xiao Li also stood up. “I guarantee the mission will be completed!”

Lei Li stubbed out the cigarette in her hand, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.

“Park the cars one kilometer away from the military base and observe with the drone.”

“We absolutely cannot alert the enemy.”

“Understood!” everyone responded in unison.

Lin Fan blinked her large eyes and spoke timidly. “Lei-jie, can… can I go with you?”

Lei Li’s expression instantly turned serious. “No, it’s too dangerous.”

“But… what if someone gets hurt?” Lin Fan bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with unease. “I’m a doctor. I should be with the team.”

Lei Li was silent for a few seconds before finally nodding. “Fine, but you must stay in the car. You’re not allowed to go anywhere.”

Lin Fan smiled sweetly, like a child who had just been given candy. “Okay! I’ll listen to Lei-jie!”

After the meeting, the entire stronghold became a hive of activity.

The blinding flashes of electric welding and the clang of metal against metal echoed from the underground garage.

Three modified vehicles were soon completed. The protective mesh of welded steel bars made them look like chariots of the apocalypse.

As night fell, the people in the stronghold returned to their rooms to rest.

The next day’s operation concerned everyone’s fate, and each person needed a full night’s sleep to be in peak condition.

On the eleventh floor, in Lei Li and Lin Fan’s room, moonlight spilled through the blinds, striping the floor.

Lin Fan, wearing a pink silk nightdress, lay obediently in Lei Li’s arms.

Lei Li’s breathing gradually deepened, but her hands began to wander restlessly.

She was careful, afraid of waking the person in her arms.

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly opened her eyes.

She didn’t panic, nor did she push her away.

“Lei-jie…” Her voice trembled slightly.

“Take me.”

Lei Li’s body instantly stiffened, a flash of panic in her eyes. “Xiao Yao, you…”

“I know.” Lin Fan took the initiative to move closer, her warm breath fanning across Lei Li’s face. “I know everything.”

“Lei-jie has been so good to me. I… I want to be good to Lei-jie, too.”

Lei Li could no longer restrain the desire in her heart and hugged Lin Fan tightly.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Lin Fan held Lei Li tightly, feeling the warmth of the other’s body.

She calmly analyzed the situation in her mind.

Tomorrow’s operation was a perfect opportunity.

If she could find the right moment at the military base, she could completely obtain Lei Li’s skin.

But for now, she needed to make Lei Li fall completely for her.

“Lei-jie…” Lin Fan whispered in Lei Li’s ear, her voice so soft it seemed about to melt.

“I like you so much…”

Lei Li’s movements became even more gentle, as if she were handling the most precious treasure in the world.

An hour later.

Lei Li gently brushed the sweat-dampened hair from Lin Fan’s forehead, her eyes filled with adoration.

“Xiao Yao, I…”

“Shh.” Lin Fan placed a finger lightly on Lei Li’s lips. “You don’t have to say anything. I understand.”

She snuggled into Lei Li’s embrace, her voice laced with a satisfied languor.

“Tomorrow, we’ll go together.”

“No matter what happens, I will protect you,” Lei Li said, her voice filled with unprecedented determination.

Lin Fan smiled smugly in her heart.

Perfect.

Lei Li was now completely under her control. In tomorrow’s operation, she would have the absolute upper hand.

“Lei-jie, I’m a little sleepy,” Lin Fan said with a small yawn, like a newly awakened kitten.

“Go to sleep. We have important things to do tomorrow.”

Lei Li held her tighter, resting her chin lightly on the top of her head.

Lin Fan closed her eyes and regulated her breathing, making it seem as if she had truly fallen asleep.

But her mind was racing, considering all the possible situations they might encounter tomorrow.

The mutated soldiers in the military base, the weapons and equipment Zhou Ming had mentioned, and any other potential survivors.

Every variable had to be taken into account.

However, the most important thing was still Lei Li.

As long as she could successfully obtain her skin, nothing else mattered.

The morning sun slipped through the gaps in the curtains, cutting golden bands of light across the floor.

Lin Fan slowly opened her eyes and found Lei Li lying on her side, watching her.

“Good morning, Lei-jie,” she said with a sweet smile, her voice as soft as freshly made cotton candy.

“Good morning.” Lei Li gave her a light kiss on the forehead. “Are you ready?”

“Mhm!” Lin Fan nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Today would be the day that changed everything.
