Duan Ziyue was indignant, but her mother had already spoken, so she naturally couldn't go out.

Duan Chenghong comforted his daughter: "Look at the family, there are old people and young children. If Dad passes away, you'll have to take care of the whole family."

These words really struck a chord with Duan Ziyue.

"Alright then, you can go to work without worry. I'll take good care of Mom and Xiaofan!"

"Oh! My good girl."

After finishing their meal, Xiao Jin planned to go for a walk and explore the Yunlu Safe Zone. Cen Nian naturally wanted to come along.

Walking on the street, Xiao Jin noticed that there were more people during the day than the previous night.

However, the people walking in Zone B looked much better than those in Zone A; they were all dressed in suits and ties, and it was hard to tell if they were going to work.

It's exactly the same as before the apocalypse.

Seeing this, Cen Nian said, "Besides those with superpowers, the residents of Area B are also special talents with specific skills, such as doctors, engineers, and researchers..."

He shook his head at this point: "Even I know that inequality is the beginning of resentment."

Xiao Jin didn't care about any resentment or not; she just found Cen Nian more interesting.

Especially since he still had baby fat on his face, he had a serious expression and looked like a little adult, talking to me about people's livelihood.

A smile appeared in Xiao Jin's eyes.

Following the path, Xiao Jin walked slowly forward. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling her shoulders and scorching her.

As Xiao Jin walked, she admired the surrounding plants.

Area B is similar to Area A, but the green belts here are no longer just for ornamental purposes; many areas have been cultivated into vegetable gardens.

However, perhaps to distinguish it from Area A, some greenery was left around it. No wonder it's a famous tourist attraction; even someone with no aesthetic sense like Xiao Jin could see how beautiful it was.

Just as Xiao Jin was immersed in the tranquility around her, a sudden exclamation rang out: "Huh? It's you."

The sound was crisp and melodious, carrying a hint of surprise and delight.

Immediately afterwards, a series of light and hurried footsteps approached from afar.

At first, Xiao Jin didn't think the person was calling her, since she really couldn't recognize who was speaking.

But as the footsteps drew closer, Xiao Jin could no longer deceive herself, so she stopped and turned to look.

The newcomer was a girl dressed in a light blue dress, with white light armor covering her body, which accentuated her curvaceous figure.

That light armor was no ordinary item; Xiao Jin could tell at a glance that it was a spiritual energy artifact.

The girl's long hair fluttered in the wind, her face beaming with a radiant smile, and her bright eyes seemed to see right through people.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, secretly surprised: "It's her?"

Fragments of memory quickly pieced together in her mind, and Xiao Jin finally matched the person with the name.

It's no wonder she didn't realize it before. Although they had met before, they didn't have much interaction, so it's normal that she didn't recognize the voice.

Just like when we first met, Wang Zixuan was still surrounded by a large group of admirers, some with expressions of admiration and others with complicated looks.

Within this web woven by gazes, Wang Zixuan seemed completely unaware. With light steps, she reached Xiao Jin in just a few strides.

As Wang Zixuan drew closer, each step was accompanied by increasingly intense yet hostile gazes from those around her.

Those gazes were like sharp arrows in the dark night, silent yet piercing, shooting straight at Xiao Jin.

He seemed indignant, wondering why his goddess would suddenly call out to this pretty boy!

After facing Xiao Jin, Wang Zixuan gently raised the corners of her mouth, revealing an extremely gentle smile.

That smile was pure and flawless, like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, instantly illuminating the entire space, and even filling the air with a touch of sweetness and fragrance.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here." Her voice was soft and clear: "Do you remember me? We met on the island."

She paused deliberately at this point.

Clearly, she was concerned about the local inhabitants and couldn't bring herself to talk about the underground city.

After a long pause, Xiao Jin nodded slightly, her voice calm and indifferent: "I remember. Is there something you need?"

These few words left Wang Zixuan completely bewildered.

She almost lost her composure, her eyes filled with disbelief, as if she hadn't expected Xiao Jin to answer her like that.

However, before Wang Zixuan could compose herself, the group of men behind her who considered themselves her loyal followers couldn't hold back any longer.

"How dare you speak like that, brat?" Their faces flushed with anger, their eyes blazing as they glared at Xiao Jin not far away.

Especially Lu Jiawei, who was standing at the very front, had a greasy appearance and spoke in a greasy tone.

Lu Jiawei raised his chin, his posture arrogant. At this moment, his eyes narrowed into slits, revealing an indescribable sinister light, which was fixed on Xiao Jin.

"Miss Wang, I must remind you that people's hearts are unpredictable, and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is worth befriending."

His words carried a hint of disdain, and he could tell at a glance that Xiao Jin was just an ordinary person without any special abilities.

This is the apocalypse. In the eyes of superhumans like Lu Jiawei, who have a high opinion of themselves, ordinary people are nothing more than ants.

Miss Wang is such a person, how could Xiao Jin, a pretty boy who hasn't even grown up yet, be worthy of her!

Speaking of faces...

Lu Jiawei rubbed his chin, his eyes darting around.

Looking closely, this kid is indeed quite good-looking; no, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's top-notch.

Perfect timing! There are plenty of big shots in the safe zone who enjoy this kind of thing. I'll have someone tie up this kid and send him over there, which will also win some favor with the old man.

Xiao Jin was incredibly perceptive; she immediately saw the filth in Lu Jiawei's eyes, and her gaze instantly turned cold.

Wang Zixuan, on the other hand, almost laughed out of anger, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Who do you think you are, some nobody? Soon you'll be less than a dog!

During their brief encounter in the lower city, Wang Zixuan witnessed Xiao Jin's formidable strength, not to mention her close relationship with Chu Yuan, that unruly and ruthless demon king.

Chu Yuan is no pushover; he always looks down on those weaker than himself, which is enough to demonstrate Xiao Jin's strength.

Lu Jiawei was just a native who had just awakened his fire-type ability; how dare he challenge someone like that?

Cen Nian, who was standing to the side, was also very dissatisfied with Lu Jiawei.

Perhaps because everyone thought Cen Nian was just a little kid, they basically ignored him.

Upon hearing Lu Jiawei's words, Cen Nian's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the dagger that had once been held against Duan Ziyue's head reappeared without her noticing.

The blade was now pointed directly at Lu Jiawei...
