I estimate they'll need to use large-scale weapons; even if it means turning the city into ruins, they'll wipe out the zombies in one fell swoop.

Duan Chenghong was deeply moved when he said this.

This place has been their home for so long, and he would be very reluctant to let it go.

Xiao Jin thought the person who came up with the idea was quite clever.

Reconstruction does require starting from scratch, but as long as people are saved, what does it matter if some things are lost?

Then Duan Chenghong mentioned the locations of several safe zones: "The rescue teams said that the government will begin transferring people soon."

If you're confident, you can go by yourself.

Duan Chenghong pulled out a flyer and pointed to it: "I've seen it. There are three safe zones of varying sizes around our Linhai City."

The distance is about the same as here, so you can go to either one.

Duan Ziyue bit her chopsticks: "Dad, are we really going?"

"Sigh!" Duan Chenghong and his wife exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Maybe I'll go later!" he said with a sigh. "It depends. If things are alright here in Linhai City, I'll hold off until someone comes and urges me..."

————————

Night fell, and the surroundings were very quiet.

As usual, Xiao Jin chose to rest in the spacious living room.

Moonlight filtered through the half-drawn curtains, dappling her calm face and adding a touch of softness to the tranquil night.

Duan Ziyue and her family of three were sound asleep in their cozy bedroom, their breathing even and long.

This is a stark contrast to the anxiety and sleepless nights of the previous two days.

Today, thanks to the timely intervention of the rescue team, the outside world is gradually returning to order, and the noise and panic on the streets have been soothed by an invisible force.

More importantly, their beloved daughter, after going through a series of twists and turns, finally returned home safely.

The joy of finding what was lost was like warm sunshine, dispelling all the gloom and freeing the family from all worries.

Since there's nothing to worry about, I naturally slept well.

However, just as this tranquility reached its peak, a sudden, deafening sound shattered the silence of the night.

With a loud 'boom,' the entire space trembled.

Xiao Jin, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly opened her eyes in the darkness.

With one arm gently draped behind her head, Xiao Jin sat up with a nimble and elegant movement, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the world outside the window.

At the same time, Duan Ziyue's family in the bedroom were also awakened by the deafening noise, and their sleepiness vanished instantly.

Duan Chenghong practically ran out of the bedroom, followed closely by Liu Xin, who also looked tense.

When the family gathered breathlessly in the living room, their eyes all focused on Xiao Jin.

"What happened? What happened..." Duan Chenghong was startled by the firelight outside before he could finish speaking.

In the distant sky, several dazzling fireballs streaked across the heavens like meteors, crashing down with destructive force, adorning the night sky with both splendor and terror.

In the firelight, thick black smoke billowed wildly like a demon, and there seemed to be something strange around.

Upon closer inspection, a helicopter suddenly appeared in view, transforming into a massive, raging fireball as it helplessly plummeted from the dark sky.

That deafening explosion just now was made by it.

"Why is this happening?" Duan Ziyue's voice was barely audible, yet it sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

At the same time, Xiao Jin had moved to the window, his deep eyes fixed on the falling flames and the scattered chaos through the lens of the telescope.

Duan Chenghong and the other two didn't dare to breathe, just staring at Xiao Jin.

After a moment, Xiao Jin slowly put down the binoculars in his hand, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented solemnity.

She turned around and said in a low voice, "Take the necessities and leave here immediately. We're going to the official safe zone."

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.

Everyone's face was filled with doubt and unease, but when they looked at Xiao Jin's extremely tense face, those questions seemed to be choked by an invisible force.

Without saying a word, the group quickly sprang into action, running into the bedroom without looking back. Some got dressed, while others packed their belongings.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Jin pushed open the window, stretched out her body, and jumped directly from the second floor, drawing an arc in the air before landing steadily on the ground.

After landing, Xiao Jin quickly took out the off-road ambulance from his spatial storage.

The car appeared out of thin air, and she skillfully opened the gas tank cap and filled it with gas.

Meanwhile, inside the noodle shop, Liu Xin was directing Duan Chenghong and his daughter to pack supplies in a tense but orderly manner.

She spoke quickly: "Don't take that suitcase, get a bigger cardboard box instead. And take these foods I prepared overnight, they're all high in calories and easy to carry."

Oh, and don't forget to bring bottled water and emergency medication. Pack light; you can always find clothes on the way if you run out.

Even Duan Xiaofan was carrying a small but bulging shoulder bag, which was stuffed with milk, chocolate, candy and cookies.

Just as everyone was busy, Xiao Jin pushed open the door and entered.

Her voice was calm and firm, directly interrupting the hustle and bustle of the room: "It's time to go."

These words were like a command, causing everyone to involuntarily quicken their pace.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin felt extremely reluctant, but she knew that this was not the time to hesitate.
