Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1628 - 1625: Rats

"So if I tell the instructor, can the instructor keep it a secret for me?" Lin Tian asked.

"Of course," Zhuang Yuan assured.

Lin Tian leaned closer to Zhuang Yuan and whispered, "I’ve been practicing Martial Arts with my grandpa since I was a kid, running up and down mountains daily, so this weighted long-distance run is nothing to me."

These words were half true; he actually did exercise with his grandpa every day and practiced massage techniques, but he never practiced martial arts, otherwise Sun Decai wouldn’t have been able to get people to gang up on him back then.

Zhuang Yuan had a moment of realization, nodded understandingly, and said, "Got it, a martial arts family. We have a comrade in our unit from a martial arts family as well, highly skilled, admired by everyone."

"Uh, sort of." Lin Tian didn’t expect Zhuang Yuan to make such a connection, so he could only answer ambiguously.

Zhuang Yuan smiled as if it all made sense, and didn’t press further. Just as he was about to wave his hand to continue the military training, a man walked toward the first biology class.

The man wore a black T-shirt, leather boots, was tall with a crew cut, and looked serious, appearing not to be a student due to his age.

The man walked straight up to Zhuang Yuan, took out a small black notebook from his pocket, and handed it to Zhuang Yuan.

Zhuang Yuan, puzzled, flipped through a few pages, his expression immediately turning serious. He closed the notebook, handed it back to the man, and then saluted earnestly.

The man saluted back and then said seriously, "Comrade Zhuang Yuan, hello, I’m here to find Lin Tian from your class."

Their serious salutes and greetings left the students in the first biology class stunned. Upon hearing that they were looking for Lin Tian, everyone turned to look at him.

"Stop looking, Lin Tian, they’re talking about you, step forward." Zhuang Yuan pointed at Lin Tian, instructing him to step out.

Lin Tian smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and said to the man in the black T-shirt, "Thunder Wolf, we meet again."

The man who came looking for Lin Tian on the field was indeed Thunder Wolf. Lin Tian had noticed him when he came in, although dressed casually, he was almost unrecognizable.

Thunder Wolf gave Lin Tian’s shoulder a friendly punch and laughed heartily, "Brother Lin Tian, you’re hard to find. Enrolling in Jinghua University already, back then..."

"Ahem..." Lin Tian quickly coughed to interrupt him when he was about to bring up their past battlefield experiences, pretending to cough, "Is Instructor Ning looking for me?"

Thunder Wolf glanced at the other students, realizing that Lin Tian wanted to study quietly, and those comrades-in-arms stories shouldn’t be known by these students.

Besides, he didn’t want to waste time, and changed his words, "The instructor is waiting outside."

"Instructor Zhuang, can I take a half-day leave?" Lin Tian turned to ask Zhuang Yuan, knowing it required his approval, otherwise, it would be skipping class.

"Sure, remember to return on time." Zhuang Yuan agreed readily, Lin Tian knew it must have been the effect of Thunder Wolf’s notebook.

Thunder Wolf, with his arm around Lin Tian’s shoulder, left chatting and laughing, leaving the students of the first biology class surrounding Zhuang Yuan, curious and inquiring, "Instructor Zhuang, who was that person?"

"Could he be a special forces soldier? Judging by his build and demeanor, he really seemed like one," one student speculated.

"What’s Lin Tian’s relation to him?"

"What are they going to do?"

The barrage of questions made Zhuang Yuan’s head spin, and he finally understood what it meant to be surrounded by curious kids.

"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, focus on your training, take Lin Tian as your role model, understood!" Unable to answer them, Zhuang Yuan simply gathered the team and continued military training.

But his deflection only fueled the students’ curiosity, as they trained while dwelling on Lin Tian’s affairs.

"Class Leader He, you’re knowledgeable. What’s that person’s background? Why are they looking for Lin Tian?" a female student asked curiously.

He Xiaofei shook her head, smiled, and said, "Do you think I’m a prophet? I don’t know them, so how would I know their background. However, if you want to know about them, you’d better first find out about Lin Tian’s background. Lin Tian isn’t simple." She finished and looked at Mu Binglan.

"All I can tell is that the visitor is a combat expert," Mu Binglan said with a frown, seeming lost in thought.

What Lin Tian didn’t know was how much curiosity his departure had stirred. He and Thunder Wolf left the field, soon spotting a black SUV parked by the roadside.

As Lin Tian approached and before he could knock on the window, the car door opened from inside. He bent down and saw Ning Luoxi sitting in the back seat.

Without hesitation, Lin Tian got into the back seat. Thunder Wolf gave a thumbs-up from behind; nobody in the team ever dared to sit next to Instructor Ning — including himself — so he admired Lin Tian.

Thunder Wolf got in the driver’s seat, started the car, and Lin Tian began to observe Ning Luoxi beside him.

She wore a black T-shirt, presumably the team’s standard casual attire, but even so, the androgynous clothing was transformed into something sexy by her.

There was no helping it; her bust was too substantial, on par with Mrs. Xiao and Charlotte, any loose clothing would be filled out completely. Moreover, the black attire contrasted beautifully with her fair skin.

Thunder Wolf glanced at the rear seats through the rearview mirror, silently admiring Lin Tian again, to boldly stare at the instructor was unprecedented.

"Everywhere you go you make waves; just started military training and already a star." Ning Luoxi suddenly commented as if she hadn’t noticed Lin Tian’s gaze.

"The tree wishes to stand still, but the wind blows on," Lin Tian said, striking a somewhat pretentious pose.

"Enough about me, what do you need me for? Don’t tell me it’s more violence and fights?" Lin Tian asked straightforwardly.

Thunder Wolf turned back, saying, "It really is about violence and fights, but it’s related to you." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Related to me?" Lin Tian was stunned, quite confused.

"Remember the Secret Master from the Spiritual Cultivation Class?" Ning Luoxi asked.

"I remember. He escaped from my hands — very cunning." Recalling the Secret Master’s strange secret technique made Lin Tian uneasy. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly asked, "Has he surfaced again?"

"That’s right, and he’s appeared in Jinghua City. I’ll take you to see some things and you’ll understand," Ning Luoxi’s expression turned serious; she feared slippery individuals more than open battles.

The car left the school, heading east, passing several streets before stopping in front of an alley.

It was an old alley, with old buildings on either side, and occasionally, some courtyard houses. Getting off the car, the three walked into the alley, stopping in front of a courtyard house where Thunder Wolf took out a key to open the door, leaving Lin Tian very surprised, is Thunder Wolf Team based in a place like this?

"Don’t overthink it, this is Li Qingyun’s property," Ning Luoxi seemed to read Lin Tian’s confusion, explaining out loud.

"Li Qingyun? Why isn’t she here?" Lin Tian recalled the ageless goddess, astonished that a woman in her seventies looked like she was only in her thirties and was unbelievably beautiful.

Ning Luoxi offered no explanation and instead entered a room, opening a door leading to a tunnel, which brought them into a basement.

The basement had several cages, inside which were some rats!
