Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 179: Words of Attack
We walked all the way inland up the high slopes and arrived at a temporary camp.

As an outsider, Wudao was temporarily under custody and his body had been searched to prevent him from carrying any lethal weapons.

Even though it didn't do anything for him at all, he was happy to follow their rules.

Until Lin Yu called him over and gave him further examination and treatment.

The ultraviolet lamp in the medical room made a crackling sound. Wudao looked up at Lin Yu who was drawing his blood. The moment the needle pierced his skin, he noticed a faint ring mark on the female doctor's left ring finger.

"How long has Medical Officer Lin been married?" Wudao suddenly asked.

The needle tip trembled slightly, and the blood beads in the test tube reflected a dark red luster under the light.

Lin Yu pushed his glasses up: "Don't chat."

"It's been less than a week since you took off your wedding ring, hasn't it?" Wu Dao said with a smile, "Perhaps there's more than one thing bothering you."

His voice was as light as a scalpel cutting through the air, accurately cutting open a gap in the opponent's tightly guarded defense.

Lin Yu's heart trembled, and his elbow hit the metal tray. The sound of it hitting the ground alarmed the guard outside the door. As soon as he stuck his head in to take a look, he was driven out by Lin Yu.

"It's none of your business." Lin Yu regained his composure while bending down to pick up the scattered equipment.

"Maybe I can help you." Wudao suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Whether it's the difficulties you encountered in the dungeon, or... your family, or more precisely, your daughter."

The female doctor's shoulders tensed instantly, and she was about to take action immediately, but Wudao took a step ahead and grabbed her wrist tightly.

"You're investigating me? Who are you? What do you want to do by sneaking in?"

Lin Yu stared at Wudao intently.

Wu Dao shook her hand effortlessly and smiled. "I haven't investigated you. Look at this medical room. Your daughter's photo is on the table. There are tear marks on the frame. Before you left the medical room, you were looking at her in the frame and crying. Add to that the wedding ring you just took off your hand, and the answer should be easy to guess."

At this point, Wudao loosened his grip on her wrist and glanced outside: "You can call the guards to take me out, but I think... except me, no one can help you now."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Lin Yu rubbed his wrist and sorted out the medicines with his back to Wudao. The sound of glass bottles colliding with each other was very frequent.

She did not call the guards, nor did she trust Wudao.

But this in itself has given Wudao a definite answer.

He didn't want to continue wasting time in this world, but the "destructive" power of this world was really interesting.

He thought... maybe he could try a different approach, like the woman in front of him.

Lin Yu's heart was in turmoil at the moment, even more so than the storm outside.

She has indeed been very upset recently, and Wudao was right.

Her daughter was ill, she was divorced from her husband, and her career was not going well.

She really couldn't hold on any longer.

Especially in the underground city, she had long suggested stockpiling anti-disaster medicines in advance, but after the disaster occurred, there were still large gaps.

If the flood had not been so severe, she would not have come to land to investigate the disaster situation at this moment, but would have been investigating possible "corruption" problems in the underground city.

At this moment, Wudao suddenly looked outside the medical room.

He smiled and said to Lin Yu, "Medical Officer, your security work is really strict."

Lin Yu was not stupid and immediately understood what he meant. Her eyes turned cold and she looked outside the glass door.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside. When the captain of the guard, a man named Zhang Duo, kicked open the door, he saw an angry medical officer and a survivor who was quietly cooperating with the examination.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yu stared at him. During this period of time, she always felt that there was something wrong with Zhang Duo, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

His actions and work were the same as before, but every time Lin Yu saw him, he always felt that there was something strange about him.

"A batch of medicines was stolen recently." Zhang Duo pointed his gun at Wudao intentionally or unintentionally, "Doctor Lin, you'd better stay away from these outsiders." "Get out!" Lin Yu pointed at the door and cursed at Zhang Duo.

Wudao glanced at Zhang Duo quickly, winked at him, and showed a harmless smile.

After Zhang Duo turned and left, and indeed had walked far away, he said to Lin Yu, "You are being watched."

"I know."

"Is his rank very high?" Wudao seemed a little puzzled. "Higher than yours?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "Zhang Duo is just a security captain. There was indeed a drug theft recently, and I'm one of the people directly responsible. It's normal for me to be under surveillance."

"But he seems to be richer than you." Wudao hinted.

The female doctor's pupils suddenly contracted.

She finally realized why she felt that something was wrong with Zhang Duo. That's right! When did Zhang Duo become rich?
You have to know that in this era, supplies in the dungeon are very scarce, and the supply of food, clothing, housing and transportation is strictly restricted.

But recently, Zhang Duo's dress has obviously changed, and he has become "rich"!

Sometimes the answer is actually very simple, it just depends on whether people are willing to believe it.

Lin Yu found it hard to accept that such a terrible phenomenon would occur in the dungeon where he had been working, but Wudao's reminder was not groundless at all.

"Medical Officer," Wu Dao, who was sitting beside him, continued, "This incident with your daughter should have happened recently, right?"

Lin Yu's expression finally became extremely ugly.

She understood what Wudao meant when he said this.

He was reminding her that her daughter might have become a bargaining chip in the hands of the other party.

"It seems you've already guessed it," Wudao said with a smile, "The loss of the medicine has caused serious consequences. Someone has to take the responsibility for this. There's no way to avoid it."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will use your daughter as a threat to force you to submit."

"Look, this is the perfect time to get you out of the way and onto land."

"Let Zhang Duo watch you. They'll use this time to tamper with the underground city and fabricate evidence that would be unfavorable to you."

"When you return to the dungeon, I think... you will be captured immediately."

"impossible!"

Lin Yu subconsciously wanted to refute.

But after she opened her mouth weakly twice, she found that she couldn't think of a legitimate reason to refute it.

Wu Dao is right...

It doesn't make sense that she was sent to land this time.

As one of the best medical officers in the Southern Dungeon, she had no need to carry out tasks of this magnitude. Investigating the theft of medicines was her most important task.

But the fact is, she was indeed sent to land.

Seeing that Lin Yu had remained silent, Wudao gave her enough time to think.

Until... he saw that the time was almost ripe.

"For you, there is only one way to turn the situation around."

His voice made Lin Yu subconsciously look up and ask, "What method?"

Wu Dao smiled and said, "Of course... First, control the power that followed you out."
