When they were eating hot pot, she realized again that she had misunderstood the butler. It seemed like a lot of dishes had been prepared, but after so many people started eating, she found that it was just the right amount.

After finishing her meal, she went to apologize to the butler and promised not to interfere with his work in the future.

The butler said with satisfaction, "How could I blame the young lady? She is kind-hearted and doesn't waste money. I'm happy for her."

The butler's words made Ye Ling feel ashamed and uncomfortable.

After finishing their hotpot, Ye Ling and Jiang Yin took a walk in the wheat field.

There is currently no night in the space world, but the brightness will still be somewhat dim at night.

Looking at the golden wheat and the endless rice fields, Jiang Yin suddenly spoke up: "Sister, I think you and Brother Ye did something great, saving many of our compatriots who were on the verge of death."

Ye Ling looked at him, and then heard Jiang Yin continue, "Before you appeared at the school, we had actually already prepared to commit suicide."

Ye Ling was shocked and decided to commit suicide?

Jiang Yin rubbed her head and looked at the wheat field, saying, "Before the earthquake, we all saw doomsday theories and orders from higher authorities to evacuate to the Central Plains online."

L City is not located in an earthquake zone, but the earthquake zone is not far from here, so staying in L City is not the best option.

At that time, many people in our school were making a fuss about leaving, but the school didn't give us a holiday. The principal even stood up and guaranteed that this place was the safest and that we didn't need to go to the Central Plains.

Despite the principal's words, many students still disregarded everything and fled the school to the Central Plains region.

At the time, we hesitated about whether to leave, but the mayor did not force us to evacuate, so most of us stayed, hoping to get away with it.

The night before the earthquake struck, the principal secretly led a group of teachers and some students away to the Central Plains. We only found out they had fled after the earthquake.

What angered us even more was that some students discovered some of his private information in the principal's office and his lounge. It turned out that he was from an island nation and that his ancestors had killed many of his compatriots on this land.

After investigating, we discovered that some of the teachers and students he took away were from Japan. Before leaving, they not only took some food but also infected our entire school with an unknown virus.

Because we didn't know what kind of virus it was, we couldn't treat it effectively, which led to the destruction of our immune system. In the first wave of the earthquake, we all experienced symptoms such as coughing and difficulty breathing.

From the very first day of the earthquake, people started collapsing in our school. Hospitals were overwhelmed, and many students and teachers who were taken there died before receiving a doctor.

Later, the professors and teachers reported the situation to their superiors, hoping they could rescue us. Initially, some people did arrive, but when they learned that our entire school had contracted some kind of infectious disease, they immediately reported it to their superiors, and we were placed under lockdown.

The day after the earthquake, a group of women brought one or two hundred children to the gate of our school, begging us to accept them.

Our teacher told them there was a contagious disease at school and they would die if they came in, but those people said they'd rather die at school than outside, at least they'd have somewhere to go after they died.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling guessed that it must be related to strange creatures.

Sure enough, Jiang Yin said the next moment, "The teachers found out after asking that they were a group of kindergarten and first and second grade students, and those women were either teachers or parents."

They are from the neighborhood near our school. They said they came from the shelter because many of them were eaten by monsters, and many bad people in the shelter tried to harm them. They had no choice but to come to our school for help.

We were already running out of ammunition and food, but how could we bear to turn away this group of people? So we accepted them.

As you later learned, we were all in dire straits. If you hadn't shown up, we would have survived for at most four days.

Ye Ling didn't reply, but instead lowered her head and walked forward, with Jiang Yin following behind her.

After a while, Ye Ling asked him, "Xiao Yin, after seeing all this in the space, do you blame your sister for not letting your classmates and teachers in?"

Why should I blame you?

Ye Ling looked up at the rice paddies: "You spent four years in university, it's impossible that you didn't have any brothers. After seeing everything here, didn't you ever think about bringing them in?"

"No."

Jiang Yin answered very decisively.

He strode up to Ye Ling, blocking her path, and said earnestly, "Sister, believe me, I really didn't have that kind of thought. Everyone has their own destiny, and besides, we are burdened with hatred. We can't drag innocent people into this."

Ye Ling looked at him: "I won't blame you for having this thought, because it's only natural. But I still have to tell you that this spatial world is incomplete."

I'm not even sure if it will restart someday. If it does, it means we, including everything in front of us, will disappear.

The people you see are all from the Ye and Wen families. They are in the space, seemingly protected by me, but in reality, they are helping me.

They're gambling with their lives, gambling with my character and the stability of the space.

They staked all their possessions and the lives of all their members on me. Without me even saying a word, they took the initiative to take over the farming, livestock, and patrolling work in the space.

Xiao Yin, it's them who helped me. Without them, you wouldn't see this beautiful scene before you. You might not know much about the power of the Ye and Wen families; money is just a string of numbers in their eyes.

Their status in S City is such that even the mayor treats them with deference. They have connections in both political and political circles. If they hadn't chosen me, they would all be living a pre-apocalyptic life in the capital's underground city right now.

Ye Ling's expression turned serious as she said this: "So, don't assume that others can stay in the space just because they can. It's not the same."

There are two reasons why Moody's sister and her family of three can stay here.

Firstly, I love her, and I don't want to see her die at the hands of a man or be eaten by some strange creature. I have the ability to protect her.

Secondly, when I brought them into this space, it was during their most desperate time. They are all people with strong moral principles; they wouldn't do anything ungrateful, nor would they be foolish enough to think of returning to the cannibalistic world after seeing this paradise.
