Chapter 56 Meeting, alone!
After coming out of the private field, Suning was about to go home when he was stopped by Zhang Xing who suddenly appeared.
He said anxiously, "What a coincidence! I was just about to look for you, Suning. The shelter is going to announce something very important, and all important staff members must be present. This cannot be missed."
Suning nodded to show his understanding.
She also knew in her heart that this was most likely the big thing that Jiang Nana had reminded her of before.
So she answered without hesitation, "I know. I will be there on time."
After saying that, Suning quickly rushed to the designated square.
However, on the way to the square, Suning keenly noticed the change in the atmosphere around the shelter.
The originally scorching hot air seemed to have become cooler at this moment, and the temperature dropped significantly.
Although it was still extremely hot during the day, this subtle temperature change still attracted the attention of Suning and others.
"The weather has actually gotten a bit cooler!"
"yes!"
"It seems that the extreme temperature is about to pass, and new challenges are about to come."
Su Ning couldn't help but sigh. Recalling the news about the extreme cold she had heard before, she couldn't help but shiver.
Whether it is extreme heat or extreme cold, extreme weather is a huge test and torture for human beings.
Suning does not know how long the upcoming extreme cold will last, but the current drop in temperature has made people feel at least a little more comfortable before the extreme natural disaster comes.
When he arrived at the square, Suning saw many important staff of the shelter gathered there.
Yan Wentao and his wife were also there.
They had obviously rushed here after receiving the notice. Looking at the serious expressions on their faces, it seemed that some of the information was no longer a secret.
Of course, there were also some people who came to join in the fun. These people had just returned from the dungeon world, looking refreshed. It was obvious that they had obtained a lot of good things in the dungeon, while some people looked pale.
Someone complained, "What's the big deal that made us come here right away? I'm in a hurry to deal with the supplies I brought out of the dungeon. I went through a lot of trouble to find a big bag of water this time. I can finally drink as much water as I want before the next dungeon comes."
Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "Wow, buddy, you're so awesome, can you help your younger brother?"
The man quickly refused, "Let's talk about it later. The Sixth Shelter Manager is here."
Liu Jianjun walked onto the stage.
He looked at the people in the square, picked up the microphone with a heavy expression and began to explain the reason.
"I've gathered you all together so soon after you finished the dungeon because I have an important announcement to make. During the seven days since you entered the dungeon world, something shocking has occurred in reality. The Ninth Sanctuary has been destroyed by irresistible forces."
After hearing the news, everyone started talking and there was a lot of noise.
"How is this possible?"
"Yeah, Sanctuary 9 is a big one!"
"What exactly caused it to fall?"
The voices in the crowd grew louder, filled with doubt and anxiety.
Su Ning listened to the news that had already been received in the crowd without any ripples in her heart, but just because she knew it in advance didn't mean that others knew it.
Later, Liu Jianjun told people even more explosive news: animals can also enter the copy world and gain innate abilities like them!
The culprit behind the destruction of the Ninth Sanctuary was none other than a powerful and gifted Rat King.
This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar among the crowd.
Everyone started talking, their faces filled with shock and anxiety.
Liu Jianjun looked at the restless crowd in front of him and continued in a raised voice, "After discussion, several other shelters have joined forces with us to go to the Ninth Shelter for a rescue and to defeat the Rat King.
The reason we asked everyone to come here is to gather people to go. Of course, some people with special talents have already been selected by the shelter and must go."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the crowd became even more tense.
After all, facing such a powerful enemy, no one knows whether this rescue operation will be successful.
But at this moment, Liu Jianjun put forward another tempting condition
"Of course, we're not letting you go for nothing. As long as the residents voluntarily join the rescue team, they will receive a lot of material rewards."
This offer undoubtedly tempted many people. Although the dangers were numerous, the generous material rewards were hard to resist.
Then, some hesitant voices began to emerge among the crowd.
Liu Jianjun then ended the meeting.
Suning was not very interested in these discussions, as his mind had already drifted elsewhere.
She knew that she had to go back as soon as possible to prepare the things she would bring with her in order to deal with what might happen next.
Just as she turned to leave, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her, "Suning!"
Su Ning stopped and turned around to see Zhang Li staring at him seriously.
Su Ning couldn't help but feel confused, wondering why Zhang Li called him.
I also unexpectedly met Zhang Li here.
Zhang Li was in a complicated mood at the moment. She finally understood how Su Ning felt about living alone before.
Zhang Li didn't know why she called out to Suning. Maybe it was out of envy, jealousy, or maybe sympathy?
In this dungeon, their family did not survive safely like they did in the previous two dungeons. Before returning, only Zhang Li was left in the family of three. In order to save her, her parents died at the hands of other players in the [Corpse Hell] dungeon.
Zhang Li looked at Su Ning and wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth. She was very upset and desperately wanted to be comforted, but there was no one around her she knew and no one to talk to, until she saw Su Ning, the person she had always envied and jealous of.
But after calling out to Suning, she didn't know what to say.
Pain and sadness can only be consumed by oneself, and only heart-wrenching pain can force a person to grow.
After losing her parents, Zhang Li finally realized why she had been comparing herself to Suning. But it didn't matter. Now she also had to learn from Suning and work hard in the days ahead.
Seeing Zhang Li staring at him.
Suning waved his hand.
Zhang Li woke up from her daze and took a deep breath.
"Will you join this rescue?"
Suning raised an eyebrow "Why do you think so?"
Zhang Li shook her head. "I don't know, but my intuition tells me you will go."
Suning did not refute, she would indeed go.
Then Zhang Li said resolutely, "I will also join this rescue."
Suning doesn't understand but respects it.
As if she knew what Suning was thinking, Zhang Li left Suning, but left a last sentence: "I will be alone from now on. It was wrong for me to be sarcastic to you before. You can come to me if you need help."
Su Ning was stunned, looking at Zhang Li who had already gone far away. Her back looked lonely and sad.
"Alone?"
