A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 36 The Repressed Man

Isn't that enough?!
All the orcs present were stunned, and some were so excited that their faces turned red and tears fell.

This is enough for at least seven days' worth of food!

Finally there is help!
Lu Xiao hadn't expected that Shen Tang would actually bring supplies with her.

She wasn't just spouting nonsense.

She truly thought that way, and that's what she did.

Among the crowd, some orcs stared intently at the supplies, a look of greed flashing in their eyes.

Lu Xiao's expression turned cold and stern. He immediately unleashed the powerful aura of a peak seventh-tier orc, his sharp, grey-blue eagle eyes sweeping over the crowd with majesty.
"These supplies are our guarantee for leaving this place. As the team leader, Vice Team Leader Lu and I will distribute them fairly. If I find out that anyone is eyeing these supplies..."

He immediately fired a shot into the open space.

Peng!
The bullet struck the tiger-beastman who had been making a move, less than ten centimeters away.

The tiger-beastman's face turned pale, and he swallowed hard, his fear of death suppressing his greed.

The other orcs also put away their inappropriate thoughts. Lu Xiao was a peak seventh-tier orc, and no one present could defeat him. Anyone who dared to mess with him would only die a more miserable death than those mutated creatures!

"Lu Xi, take out half of the supplies and distribute them to the team members. Keep the other half as reserves and use them when needed later."

"Yes, Captain Lu Xiao." A young orc with blue hair stepped forward, organized the supplies, and distributed them to the team members according to his instructions.

The orcs, driven by hunger and thirst, could not wait any longer. As soon as the supplies arrived, they pounced on them like hungry tigers.

These high-energy compressed biscuits don't taste much better than nutrient solution, but they haven't eaten much gourmet food, so in their eyes they are already a rare delicacy.

One high-energy compressed biscuit is enough to provide half a day's worth of energy for an adult orc with a huge appetite.

"Lu Xiao, there's something I'd like to discuss with you privately." Shen Tang walked to his side and lowered her voice.

Lu Xiao looked down at Shen Tang, his brows furrowed slightly, and nodded faintly, "Come with me."

Shen Tang followed him to an abandoned workshop, which was probably where Lu Xiao had been resting these past few days. It had obviously been cleaned and looked fairly clean.

Lu Xiao closed and locked the door. The walls were very soundproof, so no outsiders could hear him.

There was only one small window in the workshop, so the sunlight could hardly get in, and the light was very dim.

The faint shadow behind Lu Xiao stretched extremely long, winding all the way to the wall.

He was already exceptionally tall and imposing, with deep, cold eyes, a high nose bridge, and a sharp, well-defined jawline. He possessed a very masculine and handsome mature charm, and the scar on his left eyebrow added an indescribable and unique quality to him, making him extremely attractive.

With only the two of them inside, Lu Xiao finally managed to ask the question that had been bothering him, "How did you end up here? And with so many supplies?"

"That's... a long story!"

"Then let's get to the point. I'm patient." Lu Xiao walked to her side and looked down at her, his cold gaze scrutinizing her. No lie could escape his notice.

Shen Tang instinctively felt nervous, but thinking there was no point in hiding anything, she simply told him the whole story, "...That's how it is, I was framed by those two females, and when I woke up I was dumped in the middle of nowhere. Later, I happened to meet you." "What about the supplies?"

"I am, after all, an imperial princess! How could I not have some savings of my own? I also saved some of my salary that you used to give me to buy supplies. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, at least I will have a way to save my life!"

Lu Xiao sneered, "It's a wonder you still have this thought. I thought you donated all your money to the casino for charity."

Shen Tang's lips twitched slightly. She hadn't expected this scoundrel to be so venomous, the kind of venom that's hidden in a velvet glove!
Afraid that Lu Xiao would see through her act again, she deliberately imitated the original owner's arrogant and domineering manner, and said angrily, "I'm bad, but I'm not stupid. Of course, I have to keep some things to protect myself. If I didn't need you to get out of this awful place, I wouldn't be willing to take out these supplies!"

Hearing her say this, Lu Xiao's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. After all, in his mind, Shen Tang was an extremely selfish female. How could she possibly be so kind as to hand over the supplies to someone else? This explanation actually made him trust her more.

Regardless, Shen Tang's timely help helped them through their difficulties.

Lu Xiao's cold gaze fell on Shen Tang again, noticing the bluish-purple marks on her exposed skin, some resembling cuts from tree branches. He wondered what she had done these past few days; her skin had become much smoother and fairer, making even minor injuries very noticeable.

She must have suffered a lot on this journey, but she didn't cry and make a scene like before. She seemed much calmer and more composed, which surprised Lu Xiaoxin. His gaze couldn't help but linger on Shen Tang for a few more seconds.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Lu Xiao's favorability has increased by 20. Please keep up the good work!]

Shen Tang heard the mechanical voice suddenly in her mind and looked at Lu Xiao in surprise. The man looked away as soon as he met her gaze, his cold face calm and expressionless, no different from usual.

Tsk.

He's a repressed pervert!

Shen Tang smiled and said mysteriously, "Actually, besides supplies, I have other good things in my hands!"

After she finished speaking, she took out all the crystal cores from her system backpack.

After finishing the bottle of insecticide, she harvested more than three hundred crystal cores.

The crystal core can quickly replenish the orcs' superpowers, enough to restore the orcs' combat strength to its peak, and at least support them for three days of bloody battle!
This time, even Lu Xiao's icy face cracked slightly. He stared intently into her eyes, his voice low and cold, "Where did you get these crystal cores?"

Shen Tang could barely find a reason for the origin of those supplies, but crystal cores were hard to buy even with money, let alone hundreds of them!

Shen Tang didn't want Lu Xiao to suspect her, so she simply said frankly, "Everyone has their own secrets, so don't worry about that. You just need to know that I'm willing to share them with you."

"But the crystal cores aren't free. I need you and your men to do something for me: get the energy core hidden inside the factory!"

Lu Xiao narrowed his deep eyes, looking at her with a meaningful gaze, "You even know about the energy core?"

He now suspected that the fat woman hadn't just wandered into this place by accident, but rather that she had deliberately approached them!

Shen Tang twitched her lips and sighed inwardly that this bastard was indeed a former soldier, with first-rate investigative skills!
Shen Tang pretended not to see his suspicious gaze and said frankly, "I heard about the energy core from Xiao Jin and Shen Li. They said that the city lord personally led people to the polluted area to obtain the energy core in the abandoned factory. That energy core must be very valuable! Of course, I can't come here for nothing. I have to get this good stuff!"

Hearing her say that, Lu Xiao knew that Xiao Jin had safely returned to the army, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He had noticed long ago that Xiao Jin's mental state was very unstable and he was afraid that he would have an outburst halfway through the journey, but fortunately nothing happened.

“Our purpose in coming here is also to obtain the energy core, but things are not that simple.” Lu Xiao walked to the table and took out a deciphered research report.
