Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 215 Could it be that they were hungry?
"Medical Doctor Chu's skills are extremely high. He saved the lives of almost half of the seriously wounded soldiers in the army." Seeing her darting eyes, Mo Ziyuan guessed what she was thinking and explained to her in a low voice.

"So that's how it is." Lin Xin immediately felt a deep respect for this military doctor, Chu. Soldiers risk their lives to defend the country and protect the people, and military doctors are their talisman.

Although Mo Ziyuan was chirping very quietly, it was still quite noticeable in the quiet tent; at least the military doctor, Chu, could hear it.

Upon being glanced at by his gaze, Mo Ziyuan immediately shut his mouth, his body tensing up instinctively.

Lin Xin thought to herself that this military doctor Chu definitely had something that Mo Ziyuan hadn't mentioned.

However, now is not a good time for gossip, because the look in that military doctor Chu's eyes felt somewhat familiar to her.

During the apocalypse, she participated in a rescue mission. The target of the mission was a group of scientists from various fields. Among them were several people with such eyes; they were all research fanatics.

Lin Xin's plan is to keep her distance from such people.

Unfortunately, she couldn't get her wish this time.

"Is this a new girl?" Doctor Chu asked Lin Xin, his eyes shining.

Mo Ziyuan almost instinctively took a step forward, blocking most of Lin Xin's body, and then clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "Dr. Chu, this is my fiancée, Lin Xin. She came with me yesterday."

"Young Master Mo!" Doctor Chu asked enthusiastically, as if he had just noticed him, "Are you leading the reinforcements His Majesty sent this time?"

"I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's kindness." Mo Ziyuan clasped his hands in a fist salute once more.

"Aren't you being ridiculous? Bringing your wife to the battlefield? It would be such a waste if such a pretty girl got hurt. Let her come with me! I can never have too many men!" As soon as Doctor Chu finished speaking, everyone in the tent turned to look at Lin Xin, their eyes filled with undisguised sympathy.

Mo Ziyuan's expression also changed. He pulled Lin Xin behind him and forced himself to speak, "Medical Doctor Chu, Xin'er is very skilled in martial arts. She came here on His Majesty's orders to protect me, so she really can't go with you."

Doctor Chu gave Mo Ziyuan a disdainful look and clicked his tongue in disgust. "You have the nerve to say that you rely on your wife for protection?"

Then, his eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Xin, still trying to coax her: "Little girl, don't listen to him. War is boring and people die. A pretty girl like you shouldn't be here. Why don't you come with me?"

Lin Xin actually had a good impression of this old man. Although his gaze was intense, it wasn't the kind of obsessive that made people hate him. She patted Mo Ziyuan's hand reassuringly from behind and peeked out from behind him, saying, "It's not that I can't follow you, but if Mo Ziyuan goes to the battlefield, I will definitely follow him."

Doctor Chu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, no problem. Shall we go? Let me tell you, what they're going to say later is not interesting."

Lin Xin smiled and nodded, then walked around behind Mo Ziyuan and gave him a flattering smile, "I'm going with Doctor Chu. Remember to call me when you go to the battlefield."

Suppressing his deep reluctance, Mo Ziyuan nodded and said, "Then go ahead, and remember to take good care of yourself."

Lin Xin nodded, thinking to herself, "What are you saying? I've seen what Cui Shi is like before, what's there to protect?"
She nodded politely to everyone again and followed Dr. Chu out of Chen Lingyuan's tent. "Ziyuan, you've really done a great job! Don't worry, when I write the battle report, I'll definitely include your wife's sacrifices, and I'll make it sound spectacular," Chen Lingyuan said to Mo Ziyuan with a sigh of relief after they could no longer hear each other's footsteps.

"Then this humble general will thank the general on behalf of Xin'er." Since things had already come to this, Mo Ziyuan could only say so.

"Hmph," Kong Xiao's nephew was also in this military camp. He had always wanted to send him to Doctor Chu's place, but Doctor Chu refused to take him no matter how many times he asked. Unexpectedly, Doctor Chu actually managed to coax and trick Mo Ziyuan's fiancée away today. Kong Xiao felt even more resentful and snorted coldly.

Mo Ziyuan completely ignored him, standing with his hands at his sides among the generals, waiting to hear Chen Lingyuan speak.

Lin Xin followed Dr. Chu all the way to the military medical station. The soldiers who passed by all looked at her with curiosity and admiration, which made her feel strange.

Upon arriving at the military medical station, Dr. Chu led her past several tents where military doctors were busy working, and brought her to a particularly sturdy-looking tent at the back. He smiled and said, "Little girl, come in quickly, let me show you my treasure!"

Lin Xin followed him inside out of curiosity, and now she finally understood why everyone was afraid of him. It turned out that his so-called treasures were all kinds of insects kept in jars. Looking to the side, Lin Xin also saw dozens of flower pots with different plants growing in them.

She wasn't interested in insects, but she was different with plants. Her special ability allowed her to easily identify that these plants were poisonous. Among them were two types that she had seen in the apocalypse, except that most of the plants back then had mutated and become exceptionally large, dozens of times larger than the ones in front of her.

"Ha! I knew I wouldn't be wrong. You like these little darlings of mine too, don't you?" Seeing Lin Xin approach the plants, Doctor Chu said happily.

Lin Xin stood up and looked back at him. "I am indeed quite interested in these things, but I don't recognize any of them, and I've never even seen them before."

"It's okay, I can teach you everything, but you have to take good care of my little babies in the future."

Lin Xin looked down at the fist-sized scorpions crawling around in jars about knee-high beside her right foot, and asked after a moment's thought, "What if they die?"

"Uh," Doctor Chu seemed not to have expected her to ask that question. He choked for a moment and then showed an expression of great pain. After a long while, he managed to answer, "Well, if he dies... there's nothing we can do about it."

Lin Xin saw that the two non-existent ears on his head were drooping, and nodded while suppressing a laugh, "Okay, I'll try my best not to let you kill them."

"Alright, alright, I knew you were a good kid." Doctor Chu immediately changed his expression, so quickly that Lin Xin wondered if he had tricked her.

"I'm a little curious, why do you want me to take care of them for you?"

"Hehe," the old man chuckled softly, and Lin Xin could detect a hint of lewdness in his voice, so she couldn't help but rub her arms.

“I have a very keen sense of smell. You have a scent that I can’t quite put my finger on, but I know my babies will love it. Look,” Dr. Chu said, pointing to the scorpions, “these little guys are usually so lazy and don’t want to move at all. Look how energetic they are now. It must be because they like you.”

After hearing this, Lin Xin suddenly felt a slight regret for coming here. She subtly took two steps to the side and cautiously asked her question, "Excuse me, could it be that they are hungry?"
