Xu Anran and Xu Liang arrived at the waiting hall, which was already crowded with people, like a surging tide.

Before long, they saw more people being teleported in. These people looked terrible; some had blood on their lips, while others were flushed and panting heavily, as if all their life force had been drained away.

As soon as these people entered, they were enveloped by a transparent air wall, isolating them from those around them. Clearly, they had contracted the virus in the previous world, yet managed to enter the waiting hall.

Xu Liang looked at these people, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, as if he had seen a ray of dawn in the darkness. He thought of Wang Hong; perhaps he, too, could survive the virus and enter the waiting hall, just like them. So, he began to carefully observe each person entering, hoping to find Wang Hong. However, after searching around, he didn't find Wang Hong, and his mood sank again, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

Xu Anran noticed Xu Liang's emotional change. She gently patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Maybe Wang Hong isn't in this batch? Perhaps he'll come in the next batch." Xu Liang nodded, but the worry in his eyes remained.

Soon, a group of robots appeared in the waiting hall. Pushing carts like a silent army, they carried the injured people to the teleportation point on the fourth floor.

As they entered the portal, a blinding white light flashed, and they vanished from the spot. According to some experienced passengers, the fourth floor houses the medical ward, specifically for treating the seriously injured and critically ill. If someone was seriously injured or near death in the previous world and was fortunate enough to return to the waiting hall, the medical ward would send robots to pick them up and provide emergency treatment. Usually, these patients would be cured before departure.

Xu Anran and Xu Liang walked together towards the teleportation portal and arrived at the second floor. Here, they agreed on a meeting place for the next morning. Afterward, the two went their separate ways and began browsing the various stalls.

Xu Anran walked at a leisurely pace. She first used some of the medicine she had brought from the previous world to exchange for two high-tech heating suits and two cooling suits. She was very satisfied with this, because these clothes could help her adapt to various extreme environments and improve her survival ability.

The two garments look very similar, both made of a swimsuit-like material that extends from the neck to the bottom, completely covering the feet. The back of the garment has a power-on point and a charging port. When people put on these garments and turn them on, the black heated garment automatically heats up in extremely cold weather to maintain a normal body temperature, while the white cooling garment lowers body temperature in extremely hot weather. Each fully charged garment can operate for a week, after which it simply needs to be removed and recharged.

After buying clothes, Xu Anran browsed around for a while longer but didn't find anything else she liked. So, she set up her stall again, displaying some medicines from the previous world and successfully exchanging them for gold. In the previous world, due to time constraints, she hadn't had time to collect gold. She hoped to have the opportunity to find more gold to collect in the next world.

After exchanging items, Xu Anran felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders and went to rest on the third floor. She took out the preserved food from the box from the previous world, ate some of it, and then filled the space she had cleared with first-aid medicines, as if building a sturdy fortress for her life to ensure safety and prevent them from expiring.

Like Xu Anran, Xu Liang also traded some medicines from the last world for some items and gold, and then couldn't wait to rest.

While they rested, K69 was being devoured like rotten wood eroded by a virus, with tens of millions of people dying one after another like candles flickering in the wind. Only a very small number of people, like survivors, entered the safe zone.

Those who died from the virus underwent physical mutations, as if cursed by a demon. These dead people gradually awoke, their bodies turning blue and emitting a foul stench. Unable to stand, they could only crawl like lizards.

These monsters are covered in tumors of all sizes, making them as ugly as toads. Sometimes, as they crawl, the tumors on their bodies will break open, and green pus will flow out, corroding everything like poison. Anything that comes into contact with this slime will be corroded.

Few monsters have awakened; they wander slowly through the city like ghosts, seemingly disoriented. The survivors have not yet discovered them, and are anxiously awaiting in their shelters the development of an antiviral vaccine by experts.

The boy on the mountain also underwent a change; his body began to burn hot, as if a ball of flame was burning within him. His skin turned an eerie blue, then quickly returned to pale, changing unpredictably. His muscles twitched uncontrollably, as if twisted by an invisible force.

The boy's face alternated between ferocity and calm, but his eyes remained tightly shut, as if he were trapped in a terrifying dream. His body gradually stiffened, rendering him immobile, with only his breathing echoing in the air. The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by the heat emanating from his body, forming concentric ripples.

The next day, Xu Anran arrived at the lobby where she had arranged to meet Xu Liang, and the two walked together towards the waiting area for their train. Their train was the A211, traveling from K69 to B55.

Xu Anran and Xu Liang waited in the area for a while. A flash of red light, and they were teleported into the train. After traveling in the darkness for about 10 minutes, they arrived at their station. The two got ready and were teleported to star B55.

Having finally arrived at planet B55, Xu Anran and Xu Liang immediately began searching for a pawnshop after being teleported there.

They each took one million in gold to a relatively large pawnshop and successfully completed the transaction. Afterwards, the two went to a nearby bank, deposited the 900,000 they had obtained into their account, and left 100,000 in cash for emergencies.

Next, they each bought new mobile phones and got SIM cards. After exchanging phone numbers, Xu Anran and Xu Liang said goodbye and went their separate ways.

As usual, Xu Anran first went to an internet cafe to search for information about this world. Unlike the previous world, there didn't seem to be much special about this place.

The pharmaceutical technology of the previous world was extremely advanced, while this world was too ordinary, offering her nothing to surprise her. Even compared to the world Xu Anran originally lived in, this place seemed somewhat backward.
