During the drinking session, Li Xin'er also took the opportunity to tell everyone that Qin Siye and Qian Leduo were about to leave.

"I have a batch of supplies on hand, and I'm planning to do some small business with various bases."

Everyone secretly thought to themselves, "Sister Xin is too modest. If her business is small, then what would be considered a big business..."

"Qin Siye and Qian Leduo are going to Anshi. They'll be leaving in the next couple of days."

Qin Siye and Qian Leduo nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Sister Xin."

Everyone chimed in, telling the two to be careful while they were out and about, especially Master Sun, who had only been close to his apprentice for a few days before he was leaving. Hearing this news, they were all a little reluctant to see him go.

The two, master and apprentice, held hands and talked endlessly, their conversation growing increasingly poignant.

Seeing their heartbroken expressions, as if they would never see each other again, Li Xin'er couldn't help but offer a reminder.

“There will be many opportunities to meet in the future. Once this connection is established, they will travel back and forth.”

Upon hearing this, Master Sun was instantly delighted and said with a smile:

"There will be plenty of opportunities."

He patted Qian Leduo on the shoulder and earnestly instructed him:

"You're still young. Don't confine yourself to the kitchen. Take advantage of this time to go out and explore, serve Miss Li well, and when you come back, your master will teach you how to cook. You can manage both the kitchen and the dining room."

Qian Leduo nodded seriously and agreed sincerely.

"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely serve Sister Xin well, and I won't neglect my cooking skills."

Qin Siye and Qian Leduo left two days later.

Over the past two days, the two have been going out to familiarize themselves with their superpowers. Qin Siye's fire-type superpower is almost at level two, while Qian Leduo's metal-type superpower is also about to break through to level one.

Before leaving, Qian Leduo had saved up three hundred crystal cores, which he first returned to Li Xin'er.

Over the next two days, Li Xin'er trained the pigeons, and the two of them took four with them when they left, two of each of the two types of supernatural abilities.

Besides that, they carried very few items. Apart from food and drink for the road, they only had an ordinary jeep with two cans of oil, which was quite low-key.

After the two left, the neighborhood seemed much quieter. Perhaps it was because Qian Leduo, that chatterbox, had been too noticeable before, and people were a little unaccustomed to it.

Carl and his team still split into two groups every day, one staying behind and the other going out to gather information while clearing out zombies and frantically collecting crystal cores.

Sister Xia and Master Sun also joined the team and went out to get used to it.

Li Xin'er had no interest in going herself. Even a level one zombie was just a small fry to her, and she couldn't be bothered to do it.

With nothing to do in the villa, Li Xin'er thought about the people in the west of the city. She was quite interested in the mutated cats, dogs, and other animals kept by that female demon.

According to Leng Luo, the number was quite large; that female demon was quite prescient.

Li Xin'er decided to go for a stroll in the west of the city. She greeted Sister Xia, who was home today, and then drove out alone.

She hadn't been out much since the heavy snow, and now that she was in the city, it was pitifully desolate.

The city was dilapidated and devoid of any vitality; a gray haze hung everywhere, casting a shadow over everyone's heart.

Occasionally, you can still see people riding motorcycles or driving cars, speeding across the road, kicking up dust and creating ripples.

Near the western part of the city, the boundary is still quite clear. The traces of people's lives become more prominent. While other parts of the city have the feel of abandoned construction sites, this place is more like a slum.

Although it's still dilapidated, you can see piles of household garbage on the streets and clothes and bedding drying in the stairwells...

Li Xin'er put the car into her spatial storage, took out a mask and hat, put them on, and walked inside.

Before they had gone far, they were surrounded by five burly men carrying broadswords and baseball bats in a narrow alley filled with potholes and sewage.

The man in the lead had a thick beard, an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, and a fierce look in his eyes.

The cigarette holder was covered in teeth marks and was dented, clearly indicating that the cigarette had been held in someone's mouth for a long time.

He gripped a large cleaver in his right hand, tapping the back of the blade against his left palm, and glared at Li Xin'er, threateningly saying:

"Hand over everything you have on you."

Li Xin'er was so angry she laughed. She didn't know why she always encountered robbers and thieves. Were they taking advantage of her because of her size?

Li Xin'er's mask and hat completely covered her expression.

Before the bearded man could continue speaking, a red-haired thug behind him impatiently raised a baseball bat, pointed it at Li Xin'er, and shouted menacingly:

"Hurry up! Didn't you hear what our boss said? If you want to live, you'd better be sensible."

Then, huddled at the very back, stood a man who was equally tall and strong, but with a kind face. His tone was relatively gentler; he seemed to be trying to comfort Li Xin'er.

"As long as you hand over the item, we won't do anything to you."

Li Xin'er looked in the direction of the voice, raising an eyebrow slightly. Oh, isn't that the goofy waiter from the bar, number 105?

Did this young man quit being a waiter and turned to robbery?

Li Xin'er withdrew her gaze, her hands, which were in her pockets, gripped the pockets of her clothes and pulled out a piece of cloth, then spread her hands out empty.

"Which of your eyes saw something on me?"

She was wearing a slightly loose, thin jacket, jeans, and black chunky sneakers.

Aside from the slightly bulky upper body clothing, there's really nothing to hide at a glance.

Now that she had turned her pockets inside out, revealing them to be even cleaner than their faces, the bearded man and the others were speechless for a moment.

Number 105, the simpleton, scratched his head, leaned close to the bearded man's ear, and whispered,

"Uncle, she doesn't have anything on her, why don't we find another one?"

Although he tried to speak very softly, not wanting Li Xin'er to hear, she still heard him clearly and raised her eyebrows slightly again.

Wow, they're family after all.

The bearded man sized Li Xin'er up and down, a hint of disappointment and disdain in his eyes. Finally, he stepped aside, moving from the middle of the road to make room for her. He impatiently brandished his broadsword and urged her on:

"Come on, come on! What are you doing out here if you don't have anything to eat!"

The other four didn't say anything either, and even cooperated by moving to the side with him, their faces also showing disappointment.

Li Xin'er found this group quite interesting and couldn't help but retort.

"If I had something, why would I be wandering around like this? I must be looking for something because I don't have anything."

The bearded man looked like an impatient fellow; he seemed unwilling to talk to Li Xin'er any longer, and waved his hand again to urge her on.

"Hurry up and go find your things."

After saying that, he leaned against the wall next to him, his cigarette, the butt of which was chewed up and looked sideways in the direction Li Xin'er had come from, as if he was waiting for the next person to pass by.

Li Xin'er slowly lifted her feet and walked, keeping an eye on the potholes under her feet. She deliberately walked very carefully with each step, as if afraid of touching the water.

The bearded man glanced down at him, his deep black eyes filled with mockery and disdain.

At a time like this, she still walks like a pampered young lady. She's obviously someone who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life.

He won't live long.
