When Gu Mingyue came here in her previous life, it was in complete chaos and no one was collecting protection money, so Gu Mingyue's attitude was somewhat poor.

I initially thought they were scammers and was planning to beat them up first, but to my surprise, these two kept calling me "big boss" and their attitude was actually quite nice.

One shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Gu Mingyue wasn't in a hurry to fight, nor was she in a hurry to hand over the crystal core.

"Since he wants us to take a look around, let's go." Gu Mingyue had been traveling around the base for over a year.

Curious about the progress of other organizations, they took Xinghe for a stroll at the foot of the volcano, which had already erupted and was now calmly flowing with lava.

The temperature here is high, and the landscape is also very unique. The lava flowing out of the crater is very slow, burning out several black lava channels.

The hillsides a little further from these lava channels are covered with dense forests, and further still, there is a ring of white snow.

Small, human-built shelters are nestled between the snowfield and the volcano, arranged in an orderly fashion a little distance from the lava.

The people here are all dressed lightly, perhaps because they live near the crater and have caught some of the heat.

All the vendors hawking their wares had loud voices.

The ice water stall, though it didn't shout out its wares, was the most popular.

"Grandpa, Grandma, come play!" Several handsome young men stood in front of a house decorated with colorful light-up signs, laughing sweetly.

"We have both slender, delicate guys and strong, muscular, dark-skinned guys. There's bound to be one that suits your taste."

The handsome young man at the door stood with his hands on his hips, smiling as he called out to Gu Mingyue and her companion, who were wearing masks.

Gu Mingyue heard them, but didn't make eye contact with them. If she did, they would enthusiastically surround her.

Although these were just ordinary men without any superpowers and posed no threat to the two of them, it would take some time to get rid of them.

Superpowers represent an insurmountable gap between ordinary people and those with superpowers. This gap is even larger than the difference in money, directly dividing people into three levels.

Having value and ability, having value but no ability, having neither value nor ability.

Apart from the former being upper class, the latter two were in roughly the same situation in the apocalypse.

One type is procreation tools, used to fill the gap in newborns with extremely high mortality rates in the post-apocalyptic world.

Another group of people, squeezed and bullied by those with superpowers, are left without even manual labor jobs and can only sell their bodies to satisfy the superpowered individuals who lack entertainment facilities and are under immense mental stress.

"Yan G, vasectomized G, stay away from me, you smell like a scumbag."

One of the superhumans accidentally made eye contact with them and was immediately surrounded by the group. They blocked his way and he couldn't see anything. His body was covered in groping hands, and he immediately cursed angrily.

These people were forced into prostitution by poverty, and when they heard the superhuman cursing them so harshly, they refused to continue.

Each of them, relying on the good public security in the area, retorted in a shrill voice.

The superhuman who was surrounded seemed to be a newcomer as well. He usually bowed and scraped to ordinary people.

Now, a lowly person dared to insult him, a superhuman, as he watched the crowd gradually gathering around him.

The superhuman's face grew increasingly ashen as he looked at the bald-faced young men who chattered away like mynah birds, their mouths never closing, his eyes blazing with fury.

The flames in his eyes solidified, and a surging fire erupted from his palm, burning the young men who were cursing around him to the core.

"Aaaaaah!" The delicate and handsome young men, who were already the face of the store, were now covered in flames, their fair arms protruding from the center of the flames, and they let out piercing screams.

"Heh, you lowly people, you dare to insult me, you deserve this fate." The superhuman looked at the young man, whose body was charred black from the fire, and who was lying on the ground frantically rubbing against the sparks, and sneered.

He killed many ordinary people in the past.

The superhuman hadn't realized the difference in this place, but he also noticed the people around him looking at him, whispering and exchanging knowing glances, a mixture of amusement and regret.

Only one young couple with superpowers watched the tragic scene unfold, their faces as cold as if frozen by the biting snow outside.

When the riot broke out, Gu Mingyue had already walked quite far away. Only when she heard the shouts and turned around to see the flames billowing black smoke did she turn back.

The person on the ground who suffered severe burns has already been taken away and disposed of by the pimps at the club.

The troublemaking superhuman was also subdued by a group of young and middle-aged superhumans wearing safety officer armbands.

"Why are you arresting me? So what if a few lowly people died? I'll compensate you with crystal cores." The superhuman continued to shout defiantly, unleashing another wall of fire in his hand.

On the contrary, these security personnel were no pushovers either; each of them possessed high-level superpowers, around level three, with the leader being a level four superpower user.

The man who had shouted and thrown himself out of the wall of fire, intending to run away, was quickly subdued, knocked unconscious, and taken away.

The others gradually left, and the lively scene returned to normal, with vendors starting to hawk their wares.

The club also introduced new waiters to greet new customers, but this time their actions were more restrained, though their uniform, ingratiating smiles remained unchanged.

Most people, regardless of gender, care about the deaths of a few ordinary young men.

Only Gu Mingyue, acting as an observer, noticed that a young couple had left the crowd of vendors and found the young men whose skin had been burned off.

Seeing that they were truly beyond saving, he took off his coat and covered their charred bodies, preserving their final human dignity.

"There are actually people in charge here!" Gu Mingyue was somewhat surprised when she saw all this.
