But at such a critical moment when everyone was so busy, time was of the essence, and lives hung in the balance, she chose to flee the battlefield. How could people not despise her?
Lin Feiyin hesitated for a moment and then decided to seek out General Song. He was known to have the best temperament among the three generals, coming across like a kind and benevolent old man, not as imposing as the other two.
However, when she finally found the place, she was stopped by the on-duty soldier at the door: "Sorry, the general won’t see you. Please leave."
Lin Feiyin was not willing to give up so easily. Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly pushed the soldier, intending to barge in. But just as she ran no more than three steps, she heard a series of light clicks, the sound of bullets being chambered.
There were two armed soldiers guarding the door, and now, both of their guns were aimed at Lin Feiyin. The dark barrels gave her a strong sense of crisis; Lin Feiyin had the intuition that if she made any wrong moves, they would really shoot!
She swallowed hard and said somewhat helplessly, "I just want to see General Song. I mean no harm!"
The soldier was unmoved, his voice stern with a warning tone, "The general won’t see you. Please leave!"
Lin Feiyin pursed her lips, unwilling to leave just like that. But it was clear that forcing her way through was not an option; these people would really shoot! So she said, "Then I’ll just wait at the door! If the general doesn’t want to see me, I’ll wait here until he’s willing to see me!"
At her words, the expressions on the soldiers’ faces grew even uglier. Then one of them cracked a ferocious smile, "If you want to wait, go ahead, but only from a distance of a hundred meters! Now, please move back a hundred meters, or don’t blame us for being unpleasant!"
Lin Feiyin had never been treated so unreasonably since her superpower mutated! She muttered "This is too much," but in the end, she didn’t dare risk her life, and obediently backed off a hundred meters.
After she left, the other soldier frowned and said in dissatisfaction, "Why didn’t you just send her away? Now we have to put up with her standing around, what a sight!"
Soldier A glanced at him speechlessly, "Look at her. Would it do any good if I asked her to leave? If she wants to wait, let her wait. After all, the general isn’t going out, what’s there to worry about?"
Soldier B thought about it and felt he was right, cursed inwardly "real bad luck," and stopped paying attention to Lin Feiyin, who was standing far off, and continued with his guard duty.
By this time, it was almost noon. Lin Feiyin had not eaten much in the morning because two more people had suddenly appeared at home, and there wasn’t much food to begin with. After distributing it, what she got was very limited.
Therefore, she gradually began to feel uncomfortably hungry. Rubbing her stomach, she looked toward the villa, wishing the people inside would come out soon.
