The awkward laughter continued.

His lips were twitching as if they were being pulled.

The group lowered their heads, not daring to look any longer.

Wang Lan was completely baffled, not understanding why they were acting so awkwardly, and asked, "Have I been disfigured?"

"No, no!"

Several people spoke in unison.

"Am I scary?"

"No, no!"

"Then you're afraid to look at me?"

"You're rather scary."

"..."

Wang Lan asked curiously, "How am I scary?"

This was the first time he had ever heard himself say that he was scary.

Whether living in a safe zone or teaming up with hunters, I've never heard myself say that I'm scary.

"You, you are really scary."

One of the people mustered his courage and said, "You, you seem to have an aura about you. Just standing next to you, I can feel a strange sense of pressure..."

"A sense of oppression?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lan suddenly recalled the giant python, trees, sea monsters, and so on that he had faced.

Wang Lan also felt a strong sense of pressure around them.

Could it be that this is determined by one's own strength?

Is it a natural suppression of the weak by the strong?

Thinking this, Wang Lan wanted to get to the bottom of things and find out the truth.

Just then, Wang Lan heard footsteps outside. She turned her head and saw Sun Muchen's voice coming in.

"elder brother!"

A beautiful figure rushed into the room. Before Wang Lan could even take a good look, Sun Muchen had already rushed over and jumped onto Wang Lan.

Wang Lan then hugged Sun Muchen as well.

"You're finally awake!" After the two hugged for a while, Sun Muchen got off the ground and looked at the others beside him.

Wang Lan noticed that after Sun Muchen entered, these people miraculously stood up, as if they no longer cared about the oppressive feeling they were under.

Their gaze shifted to Sun Muchen.

Compared to his own coarse linen clothes, Sun Muchen was dressed cleanly and beautifully, his face was no longer dirty, and his fair skin was flawless.

Sun Muchen looked at the group and said, "You guys go back to class first, we don't need you here."

"Yes, Teacher Sun."

In unison, they bowed ninety degrees and solemnly said goodbye.

Then they all left the house.

Wang Lan was completely bewildered and couldn't believe it. "What is all this stuff?"

"It's a long story."

Sun Muchen pulled Wang Lan to sit down on the bed and said, "Do you remember what happened after Lina sent us away?"

Wang Lan thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember. I only remember that the wind pressure was too high at the time, and you fainted. I also fainted afterward, but I seemed to see a derivative scene of the C system. However, I can't remember exactly what I saw. Then I woke up and saw these people."

“Oh…I see,” Sun Muchen bit his lower lip, thought for a moment and then said, “I heard it from the village chief. They found us on the beach. Lina probably took us directly to the shore, and then we were found by the people here and brought back. I woke up very quickly. But you, brother, how come you were unconscious for so long?”

“I don’t know,” Wang Lan shook her head and said, “When I woke up, they told me I had been unconscious for more than ten days. I’m also curious about what I was angry about. By the way, what kind of place is this?”

“A tribe that’s similar to a safe zone,” Sun Muchen said. “However, after observing it for a while, I’ve found that it’s very different from the safe zone we lived in back then.”

"First, the people here are simple and honest, without so much backstabbing and scheming. On the contrary, everyone is harmonious and helps each other."

"Secondly, there is a set of rules here, and it can be said that everyone abides by them, making it very orderly."

"Third, everyone here has their own job and clear division of labor. There are also schools where children can learn knowledge, as well as places to work, such as producing clothes or farming in the fields."

"In short, this place is nothing like the barbaric, primitive, and bloodthirsty safe zones we are familiar with. It's more like a small group or a small country."

Wang Lan was stunned.

It is important to know that this is true whether in their impressions, in some oral stories, or in some surviving records.

Since the mutation occurred, all things have grown.

As the human living environment shrinks and resources become increasingly scarce, people resort to any means necessary to survive and ensure they live longer, with backstabbing and intrigue becoming commonplace.

Even in the supposedly "safe" survivor district, life-or-death chaos unfolds every day.

But here, it is peaceful and serene?

Wang Lan was somewhat incredulous and asked, "Are you sure? Is it really this harmonious here?"

Sun Muchen shrugged. "Whether it's real or not, you can tell just by looking at the children. The children here are incredibly happy!"

Wang Lan suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, how did you end up being a teacher here?"

"Because the teacher here was so bad, I thought what he was saying was wrong, so I skipped the class."

Wang Lan: "..."

“Brother,” Sun Muchen said, “I think this is a good place, and we should be able to live here.”

“You’re jumping to conclusions too soon,” Sun Muchen said, frowning. “We’ve only been here a short time, and we’re still completely unfamiliar with the place. In this apocalypse, everyone is on edge, and there are plenty of cunning people out there. We should be careful whether these people are genuine or not.”
