Li Xin'er stared at the display screen, watching the missile's tracking trajectory. When the TJ-73 entered Kyoto, the alarm inside the vehicle sounded, indicating that air defense interception had been detected.

Although it exists, it's too late.

The TJ-73 was almost at Ye Family Manor; it was too late to intercept it now.

If there were a second one, it might have been intercepted, but Li Xin'er's target was only to bomb the Ye family.

Or perhaps it's not the end of the world now; this missile probably wouldn't even have a chance to launch before being intercepted.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

Kyoto, Ye Family Hillside Manor.

A missile landed with a loud 'boom,' causing the earthquake to shake violently.

The towering flames rose like an orange-red mushroom, illuminating half the city.

Carl and his companions, running through the woods, were thrown off balance by a wave of heat, knocked down, and flung far away.

On the second floor of apartment number 16, Wang Fan stood by the window, his face filled with utter shock and disbelief, bathed in moonlight. It was no exaggeration.

He widened his eyes, turned his head, and asked Zhao Xiaoyu beside him.

"Did you see that? With a whoosh, something darted out!"

Zhao Xiaoyu also showed surprise, but she managed her expression much better than Wang Fan, and nodded straight away.

"I saw it."

Wang Fan covered his mouth and lowered his voice.

"So those were cannonballs?"

"Should...it should be, right?"

Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't think of anything else besides this.

Wang Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Do you think it might be someone from the government? Should we go check it out?"

In China, the only people who could think of with such weapons are the government.

If it were government officials, they could at least ask for help!

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhao Xiaoyu shook her head.

"I don't know, but we've lived here for several years and have never seen any military or military personnel around here."

The more Wang Fan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he was already getting restless.

"Should we go or not? Let's give it a shot, what if we fail?"

If that's the case, they'll be saved. In any case, following the officials is better than being trapped here and starving to death.

This time, Zhao Xiaoyu's refusal was decisive.

"Go yourself if you want, I'm not going."

She thought it was unreliable; what official source? They were secretly firing shells in the middle of the night.

She had just escaped one den of thieves, only to fall into another.

She took a huge risk by agreeing to come to Villa No. 16 with Wang Fan.

When she woke up from her coma, she was still at home. To her surprise, Wang Fan was still by her side.

It was already dark outside. Wang Fan, holding a knife, crouched at the gate, terrified. When he saw her wake up, he was as if he had seen a living Buddha.

"My goodness, you've finally decided to wake up."

"Now that you're awake, I'll leave. You know what your family's situation is like; it's too scary at night."

Wang Fan couldn't help but tremble as he said this.

Zhao Xiaoyu called out to Wang Fan, and this time she truly believed him. Now, she had nothing left but a body.

If Wang Fan really had any bad intentions, he would have taken advantage of her while she was unconscious long ago, instead of going through all the trouble of waiting for her to wake up.

The two of them then had a frank and open conversation.

Zhao Xiaoyu learned that Wang Fan was 26 years old and a tourist from Province C visiting Haishi. On the day the apocalypse broke out, he also went out of his residential compound to check things out, but when he sensed something was wrong, he climbed over the wall and ran back.

"I climbed over the wall and saw Zhou Yong and the other two, heavily protected, cleaning up the zombies in the property."

"I was so excited, like I'd seen a golden thigh or a savior! I was just a tiny bit away from getting out! Luckily, I survived!"

"That bald guy suddenly ran out, and I thought I'd wait a bit longer. But then I saw them start arguing. The bald guy told Zhou Yong and the others to protect him, and he was incredibly rude. Zhou Yong was even more direct; he knocked the guy down with a stun gun, and that wasn't all. He took a knife and chopped off the guy's head..."

Wang Fan had witnessed Zhou Yong's cruelty firsthand, which is why he remained vigilant and avoided the three of them. While they searched the house, he would hide outside, and only sneak back in to lock the door and go to sleep after they finished searching.

This time, there was truly no food left. He tried going to number 18 to see if Zhou Yong and the others had missed anything. Curiosity killed the cat; he climbed over the wall and went straight to the second floor…

Terrified by what he saw on the second floor, he had already run out, but halfway there he gritted his teeth, mentally prepared himself, and went back down to the first floor to find something to eat. That's how he ran into Zhao Xiaoyu.

Wang Fan packed his things, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and finally confirmed with Zhao Xiaoyu.

"You really aren't going?"

"No, I advise you to go, but be careful."

Wang Fan nodded, patted his chest with a thuggish air of loyalty, and assured them:

"Alright, I'll go check it out. Don't worry, if I end up in a den of thieves, I definitely won't betray you."

Zhao Xiaoyu, her injured lip twitching, revealed a faint smile.

"Thank you, but I still wish you all the best."

Actually, now that he's gone, she can't stay and wait for him to betray her; she already has a plan in mind.

"Okay, take care of yourself."

Wang Fan slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed towards the sea.

On the beach, Li Xin'er looked at the success message on the screen and smiled with satisfaction. Now it was up to fate to see who would be the luckiest.

Get out of the car, put the items into your spatial storage, and return to Villa No. 7.

When Li Xin'er arrived at the room, the three little ones had already finished watching their cartoons.

"That's all for today. Wash up and go to bed. Tonight, Ersha and Fighter will sleep in the living room and be on guard."

Ersha wagged its tail, tilted its head back, and barked, "Woof woof woof!"

This indicates that it understands.

The fighter jets craned their necks, ready to respond.
