Xiao Jin knew his superpowers were inherited from his past life, and even with the system's help, he couldn't control such a significant event as the game world. Therefore, he decisively shook his head. Tan Dong, who had been watching Xiao Jin's eyes, saw neither guilt nor remorse, nor any attempt to hide or evade; only open and honesty.

"Heh~" After a while, Tan Dong chuckled lightly, "That's enough." After saying that, Tan Dong turned around and continued to follow Cheng Su, who was being affectionate.

Xiao Jin turned around, and the corners of his lips beneath the mask seemed to curve slightly.

Mao Liu and his companion, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, no need to help dispose of the body anymore. After all, it was saved with real money and points; Tan Dong still has a conscience. The closer they got to the air-raid shelter, the more everyone knew they were in the right place without Xiao Jin even having to say anything.

Five minutes ago, there were many more vehicles around, and a lot of luggage was scattered on the ground. If you looked closely, there were also corpses lying among them, but they had been decomposed beyond recognition.

I don't know if it was because I couldn't escape the acid rain, but because I had no shelter, I fell down here.

"Keep driving in!" Xiao Jin urged.

There was no way to stop them now; the minivan was finally giving out. The acid-resistant cloth that Xiao Jin had covered it with was almost completely gone, and the metal roof was being corroded away.

Fortunately, there was another layer on the inside, but the acid rain attached to it was gradually engulfing them, and the acid rain could pour onto them at any time.

From a distance, Xiao Jin and her companions could see two deep drainage ditches dug ahead in their car headlights. The air-raid shelter was located in a low-lying area, and without these two drainage ditches, it would have been flooded long ago.

There was a checkpoint in front of the drainage ditch, which was obviously set up by the authorities, and behind it was a huge iron gate.

The door, made of some unknown material, showed no signs of damage or rust despite the acid rain. The group was overjoyed; they had finally arrived.

However, there was a checkpoint ahead, and their car couldn't get through. Even if Mao Liu wanted to drive through, the minivan wouldn't allow it.

Just as everyone was overjoyed to have found a shelter, the last layer of waterproof tarpaulin tore open, and as soon as the rain poured down on Xiao Jin, she keenly noticed that the concentration of acid rain had increased considerably.

Now their protective suits are almost like ordinary clothes; a single raindrop can leave a deep dent on their skin.

"Run towards the air-raid shelter as fast as you can. There must be surveillance equipment at the entrance." Xiao Jin kicked the left car door open.

Xiao Jin didn't need to use much force to easily remove the door from the already dilapidated minivan.

She scooped up the unconscious Jian Xiuyun with one hand, carried her on her back, jumped down, and ran.

The shelter was just around the corner, and at this point, no one could help anyone else. It was all up to them to rely on their own abilities. Xiao Jin had led them all the way, and if they died at the door, it was their fate.

Seeing Xiao Jin run out, the others finally came to their senses and followed suit.

The already unbearable pain in their bodies intensified with activity, but no one dared to stop until they ran past the checkpoints and drainage ditches and arrived at the gate.

Xiao Jin had already arrived. She observed the air-raid shelter from the outside and, sure enough, saw a red light through a gap in a rock.

The next second, the tightly sealed iron gate was gently lifted, and Jian Xiuyun, who was lying on the ground, was kicked by Xiao Jin and rolled through the gap, making the person behind the gate stunned.

Xiao Jin also bent down and squeezed in.

Upon entering, one finds a huge, technologically advanced cubicle. The cubicle is surrounded by a cold, metallic white light, and the intact overhead lights led Xiao Jin to believe that the acid rain had begun.

Through the transparent glass, Xiao Jin could see many heavily armed soldiers standing outside the room.

They were wearing heavy protective suits, which were on a completely different level compared to Xiao Jin's. There were several rest rooms nearby, with single beds inside.

The person on the bed was dressed in uniform clothes, but their exposed skin was covered in wounds, and a doctor in a white coat was treating them.

Just then, a spray of liquid suddenly fell on Xiao Jin and the others' heads. Tan Dong and the others behind them were terrified, thinking that acid rain had seeped into them. They covered their heads and tried to run away.

But the next second, everyone stopped moving in confusion, because when the liquid fell on their bodies, they not only did not feel pain, but the wounds corroded by the acid rain also felt faintly comfortable.

Xiao Jin sniffed it; it was an alkaline liquid, used to wash away the acid rain from their bodies.

Having narrowly escaped death and finally met the other survivors, the group collapsed to the ground, all shedding tears of relief.

"Finally...finally..." Cheng Su covered her face.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Tan Dong said softly, pulling his girlfriend close to comfort her.

Mao Liu and the other two also let out a long sigh, and their hearts finally settled down when they heard the notification sound in their ears.

Congratulations, player, you have successfully entered the safe zone.

There are no rewards, which means there must be quite a few players here. But being able to get in means that my safety for the next two days is guaranteed.

The two didn't even expect to get a reward. There were so many players around this large safe point, how could they possibly be so lucky!

It seems this isn't the first time they've received survivors; the shelter already has a fairly well-established procedure in place.

The six people were first taken to a small room to change into the clothes provided, and then sent to the treatment room for treatment. Those with milder symptoms only needed some medicine, while those like Tan Dong and Jian Xiuyun had to stay in the medical room.

At this moment, Tan Dong stopped a passing soldier: "Hello, I'd like to ask if Dean Tan is here?"

Although he knew that his father would most likely be protected and moved away immediately, Tan Dong was still very uneasy when he asked.

The other person paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, Dean Tan and Mayor Jiang should be in the treatment room right now. If you go now, you should be able to see them."

Tan Dong was delighted: "Okay, thank you."

"But look at my leg, could you please call my father, Dean Tan, for me?" Tan Dong said, pointing to his leg where a steel plate had just been clamped.

This time, not only the soldier, but also Mao Liu and the others were stunned for a moment.

Judging from what this kid said, his father must have some connections. He's a hospital director? And he's quite familiar with the mayor.

"Oh, okay, so you're Dean Tan's son. We received orders to find you before. Luckily you're alright. I'll go inform you right away." With that, the soldier ran off.

Tan Dong turned around and smiled shyly at everyone: "My dad is a doctor, but I'm not interested in this profession. I also know Uncle Jiang."

We'll see if we can find everyone a comfortable bed then.

Got it, got it! Using connections! They love using connections!
