"Yes." Shi Yin walked over and ruffled Chang Ning's hair: "I hope you can find lasting peace."

"Being with my sister brings me peace." Changning looked at Shiyin's bright eyes, which resembled the excitement and joy of a stray golden retriever finally being taken home, yet she also suppressed her worry about being disliked by her new owner.

Shi Yin: "..."

"I hope so." Shi Yin paused for a moment before withdrawing her hand. "You have indigestion and can't eat anything else. I'll go to the hospital and get you a separate meal."

Changning paused for a moment, her expression clearly hesitant. It was obvious that this little girl had a unique obsession with food.

"So be careful what you eat next time, or you'll end up like this every time you go to the hospital," Shi Yin said softly.

"Okay." Changning hesitated only briefly before nodding firmly, "Sister, won't you abandon me?"

"Of course," Shi Yin replied without hesitation.

Being sick is also a very tiring thing. Shi Yin only sat next to Chang Ning for a while. Chang Ning's little fingers tugged at the hem of Shi Yin's clothes and soon she fell asleep.

Shi Yin then stood up.

Changning is a very insecure child. Originally, she thought that Guan Nianshan was old enough to be reliable, so she let him stay here while she went out to get some breakfast and came back.

However, Guan Nianshan just proved that a person is unreliable, regardless of their age. Indeed, some men remain boys until death.

"She's asleep. You stay here and watch over her." Shi Yin pushed open the door and turned back to instruct Guan Nianshan, "Changning is very important. You can't leave her alone. If anything happens to her, you won't be able to live either."

"Is it that serious?" Guan Nianshan scratched his head, abandoning his intention to continue joking around.

He originally thought that Shi Yin had just picked up a child at random, or at most a powerful weapon. He never expected it to be so important. He was even saying that if Chang Ning got into trouble, he wouldn't be able to live anymore. The fact that Shi Yin could say such things showed how serious the incident was.

That's right, Guan Nianshan felt that he was very important, extremely important.

If someone as important as you can atone for their sins with their death, then it must be something even more important.

“Changning is far more important than you think, not just for its strategic significance, but also because the negative consequences for us if something goes wrong.” Shi Yin said seriously, “Find a teacher to teach her to read and write, and you can listen in on the whole class.”

"Huh? Huh? Wait a minute, wait a minute, why is it my business again?" Guan Nianshan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "How come I haven't even made it to the top with you yet, and I'm already doing all this work for you?"

"I've already had your sister picked up from the resort and sent to the best sanatorium," Shi Yin said calmly. "That's one of the first areas we protected; it's at the absolute highest level in every aspect."

Guan Nianshan immediately fell silent; his weakness had truly been thoroughly exploited.

His family only has his younger sister left.

“Although, as I’m suggesting, you should bring your sister with you in the apocalypse. People like her with special circumstances generally have fixed abilities,” Shi Yin continued. “Bringing her along can save your life.”

"Huh?" Guan Nianshan's eyes lit up: "So if my sister can have superpowers, then he won't turn into a zombie, right?"

"Then wouldn't that mean that as long as we protect them well, they won't die?" Guan Nianshan immediately became happy.

Is this the key point?

Well, for someone whose family is more important than their own life, that's definitely the point.

“Guan Nianshan, I’m your superior. When I took you in, I said I would take good care of your sister, so she will be fine no matter what.” Shi Yin interrupted Guan Nianshan’s excitement: “I won’t ask your sister for help unless it’s absolutely necessary, but…”

Shi Yin didn't finish her sentence.

Guan Nianshan pursed his lips. Of course he knew that if things really came to a last resort, he and his sister would have to stand up, otherwise neither of them would survive.

"Hey, Sister Yin." Guan Nianshan called out to Shi Yin, who was about to leave, "Why do you want to be a savior?"

“I did not act as a savior,” Shi Yin said calmly.

“But isn’t what you’re doing now exactly what a savior should do?” Guan Nianshan stroked his chin, looking at Shi Yin with curiosity. “If it were me, I would be happy to do it if only saving this world could allow my sister and me to survive. Shi Yin, what’s your reason?”

“…For no reason.” Shi Yin paused, then continued walking forward: “It’s just for victory.”

"Guan Nianshan, humanity cannot adapt to a world that has suddenly changed. Only by removing this erroneous part of the world and restoring it to its original state can everything continue and fulfill our wishes."

Therefore, victory is the only way to reach the finish line.

Whether it's indifference, ruthlessness, insults, or scheming, she will continue down this path, regardless of the cost or sacrifice, the outcome must be the same.

There are only two paths: victory or defeat.

There are only two possible outcomes: survival or destruction.

To be or not to be, humanity has no choice.

Those who have cheat codes always claim to be the protagonist, thinking they are the chosen ones. If that's the case, then try to find another path after defeating her.

Shi Yin looked at the cold white lights of the hospital, her heart completely calm.

She hoped that a protagonist would find another way, defeat her, and lead humanity forward, but Tokine knew very well that no one could defeat her, and there was no other way to go, because she had already explored almost every path.

The phone vibrated twice.

[Your friend request: Nanzhu]

[Nan Zhu: Miss, the missing diplomat has been found, but he's not in good condition. Mr. Ye has him under control. I'm here to manage the situation. Mr. Ye is on his way to you.]

Not feeling very well?

That's a zombie transformation.

Shi Yin understood immediately, quickly grabbed breakfast and handed it to Guan Nianshan, then turned and left.

"Get her back in good health; she'll be a key fighting force later on," Shi Yin said as they walked. "Everything should be done to the best of our ability; she must recover to normal within six months."

"Six months? All the best?" Guan Nianshan was already a little numb: "Will they reimburse me?"

"The buyer you detained—his family embezzled 300 million yuan, and I only plan to hand over one-third." Shi Yin glanced sideways at Guan Nianshan: "As for the rest…"

"This humble servant will follow Sister Weiyin's lead~" Guan Nianshan stood at attention and bowed, his smile incredibly obsequious.

Shi Yin ignored Guan Nianshan's change of expression. She had a tracking device that connected her directly to the country. Since Nan Zhu said that Ye Shaoheng had already come to find her, that meant he had already come to the hospital.

Sure enough, as soon as Shi Yin left the hospital, Ye Shaoheng ran towards her.

"Sister Yin! Hurry! Something terrible has happened!" Ye Shaoheng rushed over in a panic. "Get in the car, I'll take you there..."

"No need." Shi Yin waved her hand, signaling Ye Shaoheng to calm down: "Give me your hand, I'll take you there directly."
