Shi Yin never hides her strength, but she also never hesitates to admit her insignificance. The world is still the world, and she has not yet become the world.

Even the world has its limitations.

Like the ruins and the crying people in front of me.

At times like these, the word "belief" seems incredibly fragile.

The orphanage has been reduced to ruins, with only a few amusement facilities remaining amidst dust and rubble. The dilapidated carousel and peeling paint slides make it seem as if the place has been pushed into the apocalypse for decades.

Desolate, dilapidated...

"You're the ones who need saving, don't worry about me." Shi Yin walked slowly closer, raising her hand to stop those who looked up and wanted to bow to her.

Shi Yin's words came at just the right time. Some people who were halfway up suddenly stopped and almost fell. The rescuers were stunned for a moment and then quickly continued their work. Those who wanted to run over to report also stopped and returned to the search and rescue team.

Some were lucky enough to be rescued. Even if they were left with disabilities, they at least survived. Even if they were paralyzed from the neck down, they could still communicate and report their work through their mouths.

The government will assign jobs to disabled people and will not simply discard these useless people.

Aside from the need to show humanitarian concern to avoid discouraging others, there's another rather cold-blooded reason: disabled people don't have to worry about other daily activities taking up their time, nor do they have as many entertainment options and time as able-bodied people, so they can't squeeze out more time from their lives.

However, if the zombies breach the defenses and the entire population needs to evacuate, these people would likely be left behind. But in Yanlong Kingdom, the probability of this happening is minimized.

But some people aren't so lucky.

They were detected as infected by the zombie detector, and the rescue team could not leave them buried. They had to dig them out and kill them to ensure that they were completely dead.

Some people had not yet completely turned into zombies, and their consciousness was not yet completely blurred. They just thought they were feeling very unwell because of the earthquake or because they were sick. When they saw the rescuers, a hot and sincere light immediately burst forth in their eyes, almost scalding everyone.

The next moment, they were killed by the rescue workers themselves.

The rescue workers were simply carrying out the order numbly and mechanically. They had no way back and could not turn back. They couldn't even shed tears because the mist from their eyes would obstruct their vision when it sprayed onto their goggles.

They tried their best to distract themselves from the life-and-death situations and their own helplessness, but some still had to quit their jobs because of the fog on their goggles.

Suddenly, everyone's spirits lifted.

Their emotions seemed to vanish in an instant. Without emotions, they were like robots that could only repeat mechanical tasks. They looked up blankly at their surroundings for a moment, but ultimately chose to lower their heads and mechanically repeat the tasks in their hands.

It's as if I've lost all joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness in an instant.

Shi Yin held a fist-sized ball of light floating in her hand. Ji Chuan watched as these points of light separated from the rescuers and coalesced into a ball. Ji Chuan could feel the energy resonating with his own superpower.

It's an emotion.

Tokine's ability is way too overpowered! If the memories are truly Tokine's ability everywhere she sees, then what's the difference between Tokine and an omnipotent being?

Good heavens, there are so few people with such powerful superpowers, what's wrong with one more?

"Next, after completing the task, return the emotions to them." Shi Yin casually tossed them aside, then hurriedly and clumsily caught the emotions with her own.

Ji Chuan was on the verge of tears. He had only just reached level C. Was it really okay to just throw his emotions at him so casually? Emotions detached from the human body were no different from glass balls. If they broke, whose responsibility would it be?

Moreover, Ji Chuan had only just acquired his superpower and was extremely unfamiliar with using it. It took him a great deal of effort to levitate the emotion ball in his hand, leaving him drenched in sweat.

"Ji Chuan!" a voice exclaimed.

Shi Yin felt like she'd heard that voice somewhere before, but before Ji Chuan could figure it out, she was already jolted awake and almost dropped the ball of emotion in her hand.

"If you break this, you'll lose points when you get back," Shi Yin lazily reminded him.

Ji Chuan quickly focused his attention. It wasn't time to kill zombies and collect crystal cores to exchange for points yet. He didn't want to be in debt before the apocalypse even officially began.

"Ji Chuan, why are you running around like this? You're not wearing protective clothing? Do you know you're causing trouble for others?" A man hurriedly walked over.

This man was tall with regular features and an imposing presence. He looked eight parts like Old Master Ji Yunhan, and even the oppressive feeling in his eagle eyes was exactly the same.

Ji Chuan's face turned a little pale, but he tried his best to ignore the voice and kept the emotional ball in his hand steady.

“Ji Chuan, everyone’s busy right now. Can’t you learn from your brother and go back and stay home?” The man continued, “Even if you’ve gained superpowers now, your level is still so low. You’re just causing trouble for others, and they have to protect you…”

“Ji Bolin,” Shi Yin interrupted Ji Chuan’s father calmly, “I’m not dead yet.”

The man paused, then stopped his accusatory remarks and looked at the woman beside him.

The woman was strikingly beautiful, but she deliberately concealed her aura. Her black and white military uniform stood out solemnly in the darkness. Upon seeing Ji Chuan, he instinctively rebuked him, his anger rising, and he completely forgot about the woman.

“Sir, I was criticizing my son; this is a family matter.” Ji Bolin frowned. “Even an upright official can’t settle family disputes; please don’t interfere.”

He, a man in his forties or fifties, was being criticized by a woman who looked to be around twenty years old, which was really embarrassing for him.

"Ji Chuan, are you listening to me? Just because you have superpowers doesn't mean you can disrespect your elders!" Ji Bolin was even more furious at Ji Chuan's disregard: "Can't you learn from your brother? Your brother has been organizing rescue efforts since the disaster, and hasn't slept a wink since..."

Ji Chuan is a stain on Ji Bolin's life. Not only is he inferior to his eldest son in every way, but he also opposes him at every turn and is extremely rebellious.

Since Ji Chuan was taken away by the government not long ago, there has been no news of him. It was assumed that Ji Chuan had caused trouble. Ji Bolin originally wanted to teach Ji Chuan a lesson, so he did not bail him out. Unexpectedly, Ji Chuan has not returned home for so long.

That's utterly outrageous! Does this son still harbor resentment towards his father?

"Grandpa Ji, I need to inform you that your son is gone." Shi Yin's voice came through, and both of them were stunned. They turned around and saw Shi Yin making a phone call: "I will make your son a case study to warn everyone. I am just informing you, Grandpa Ji, and I am not implying that there is any hope for him."

With that, Shi Yin hung up the phone.

"What do you mean?" Ji Bolin didn't understand what was happening, but for some reason his intuition made him feel a sense of fear and panic.

“I told you, I’m not dead yet, Ji Bolin.” Shi Yin pinched the brim of her hat and pulled it up slightly: “Obstructing official business, showing contempt for superiors, ignoring orders, and halting work…”

"I'm not dead yet."

"But you're going to die."
