Midway through, there was a knock on Xiao Jin's door; it was Yin Xin and Tao Huihui.
The two men acted furtively, and when they saw Xiao Jin come out after knocking on the door, they quickly put the bags they were carrying on the ground.
"Thank you, but it's nothing special. You can have this." Then the two left.
Xiao Jin didn't stop them and could only take the two bags back to her room.
After disinfection, I saw that one of them contained eight large meat buns, steaming hot and smelling delicious.
The other one was two jars of chopped chili beef sauce.
It was clearly a gift of gratitude sent in recognition of Xiao Jin's rescue of them today.
In the past, these things wouldn't have been presentable at all. But now, whether it's steamed buns or beef sauce, if they appear, a huge number of people will fight tooth and nail for them.
Although Xiao Jin had plenty of food, he still accepted their kindness. However, he immediately placed two coconuts at the door of each of their houses.
Knowing they were short of water, Xiao Jin felt it was too generous of her to offer water as a return gift.
But when Yin Hang and his three companions saw the coconut, their first thought was to return it; it was too precious.
Coconut water can quench thirst, and the coconut meat inside can fill your stomach. The two things they offered are completely unworthy of these two coconuts.
But considering that their water supply at home was almost empty, they gritted their teeth and had no choice but to accept it, even if it meant losing face.

The game reached its sixteenth day quickly, and half of the time had already quietly passed.
At dawn, as the first rays of light attempted to pierce the darkness, Xiao Jin suddenly opened her eyes, a strange unease welling up within her.
After thinking for a moment, she got up, walked quickly to the window, and pulled the curtains open with both hands.
Just then, Xiao Jin was shocked to discover that the thick gray fog, which should have been as usual, had been stained with an ominous red light.
In the blink of an eye, the red mist surged in like a tidal wave, quickly spreading across the entire sky, as if the whole world was shrouded in a strange blood curtain.
Moreover, Xiao Jin could see it clearly.
Within the crimson mist, some distorted shadows could be vaguely seen gradually forming and wandering around in an eerie manner.
Xiao Jin's heart suddenly raced.
"Hiss~ What's going on!"
As Xiao Jin pondered the red mist and the strange monsters outside, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck, as if she had been stung by a tiny poisonous bee.
She instinctively shrank her neck and frowned.
Xiao Jin then quickly walked to the mirror and turned slightly to the side.
Xiao Jin noticed that her reflection in the mirror looked slightly unpleasant, and she almost missed these subtle differences if she hadn't been so familiar with herself.
That's not right!
Xiao Jin was puzzled, as she had been eating and drinking well in the apartment for the past few days and had been sleeping for more than 8 hours every day.
I wouldn't say I'm fat, but I'm sure I won't get sick!
Then there's the culprit that caused Xiao Jin's sudden sharp pain—the small patch of skin on the back of her neck that suddenly ulcerated.
Xiao Jin slowly raised her hand, her fingertips gently touching the sudden ulcer. The pain returned, accompanied by an indescribable burning sensation.
Although the area of festering was not large, only about half a finger joint, its hideous appearance was like the mark of some evil force, deeply imprinted on her skin.
Upon closer inspection, a strange reddish halo appeared around the ulcer, as if tiny blood vessels were winding and twisting within it, and the faint sound of blood flowing could be heard echoing in one's ears.
Xiao Jin's heart pounded even faster, and she felt like she was suffocating.
She tried pressing gently with her fingers, which intensified the pain, accompanied by a tingling sensation that quickly spread from her neck to her whole body, making her shiver.
The player panel flickered on the retina, clearly depicting Xiao Jin's current abnormality—[Erosion Level: 2%]
Inside the room, the lights seemed to dim at that moment, and an indescribable sense of oppression filled the air.
Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Jin's mind.
Has the poisonous fog mutated again?
This time, it seems that no amount of protection is effective; no matter how well you hide, you will be exposed.
"Sizzle—"
Suddenly, the windows of the entire apartment building simultaneously emitted a teeth-grinding sound.
Xiao Jin's pupils contracted sharply, and shattered images instantly appeared in his palm as he retreated three steps. Almost simultaneously, the living room window shattered with a deafening roar, and blood mist mixed with shards of glass poured in like a torrential downpour!
"Amo!" she shouted sharply.
A dark shadow shot out from the sleeve; a three-meter-long python stretched its body in the air, its tail sweeping across and catching the flying glass.
The remaining fragments struck Amo's hard scales, making a crisp 'clanging' sound, but without harming it in the slightest.
At the same time, Xiao Jin took the opportunity to roll to the corner of the wall. The moment the gas mask was put on his face, a prompt suddenly popped up on the panel:
[Special rules activated during the Red Fog period]
Defeating the Mist Demon earns points.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a human-shaped outline protruded from the entire load-bearing wall, and concrete fragments rained down like a storm.
Xiao Jin raised his hand and fired a shot, the freezing bullet hitting the monster that broke through the wall and freezing it instantly.
She looked closely and saw that the thing was about the height of a person, its body covered in a tar-like viscous liquid, and its six compound eyes glowed eerily in the red mist.
"Screech—!" The Mist Demon let out a high-pitched scream, which directly shattered the ice that had been binding it.
Instead of retreating, Xiao Jin advanced, putting away the 'Wheel of Destiny' and charging forward with his long sword.
In the blink of an eye, the Fog Demon was stabbed three times by Xiao Jin, and the foul-smelling slime splattered on his coat, corroding and producing wisps of white smoke.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Amo wrapped his arms around the Mist Demon's neck, his venomous fangs piercing deep into its compound eyes.
