In fact, Xu Jinhuan didn't care about the gratitude of the people in the slums.
In the apocalypse, someone who is grateful to you one second might push you into a horde of zombies the next; she has seen far too many of these things.
Therefore, compared to genuine feelings gained through interaction, loyalty verified through the system gives her more peace of mind and trust.
All Xu Jinhuan cared about right now was the ever-increasing faith points and the hidden quest she was about to complete. As for everything else, she'd worry about that after she killed the male and female leads...
Just as Xu Jinhuan was rushing up the mountain in the outskirts of Beijing, she discovered that another river channel had succumbed to the flood and been washed away.
It seems that the flood will reach the capital in less than a day, and even high-ranking officials and nobles will have to scramble to escape.
However, if the system had predicted 15 days of torrential rain, there are only a few days left. It's just unknown what natural disasters await them after the torrential rains and floods recede.
As Xu Jinhuan thought this, he continued to use his lightness skill to hurry up the mountain.
Soon, she arrived near the mountain stronghold. Before she could even go inside, she saw a large group of people sitting under a tree with long faces, shivering from the cold.
Xu Jinhuan was completely bewildered. What was going on? Why were these people leaving their nice cave to get soaked here?
"Boss Xu, you're finally back. These people have been here since noon, and they've been here for most of the day. We've tried to talk to them, but they just won't budge."
Seeing that they didn't intend to force their way in, we didn't make a move either. "One of the guards reported to Xu Jinhuan first.
Xu Jinhuan nodded, her face cold as she said, "If you like getting rained on, go ahead, but this is my territory. I don't welcome strangers. If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action."
Xu Jinhuan was never a kind person. These people had nothing to do with her. Let them get rained on if they wanted, as long as they didn't get in her way.
At this moment, a man in his forties or fifties stood up from the crowd. The man bowed respectfully to Xu Jinhuan and said in a simple and honest manner.
"Sir, we are all villagers from Dawang Village at the foot of the mountain. We didn't really want to bother you."
But before we could even settle into the cave we found, it was occupied by two other villages and outsiders, who drove us out of the cave.
We searched for a long time, but unfortunately there was nothing suitable nearby. We were wondering if we could stay with you for a few days? We have our own food and can help you with chores.”
Xu Jinhuan was speechless. Did she really look like an easy person to talk to?
Moreover, she had checked the caves before, and each one was very large, more than enough to house the people from several villages. The people of Dawang Village were simply too incompetent.
If someone bullies you, you not only let them bully you, but after they're done, you even ask them if their hand hurts. You have absolutely no guts.
Xu Jinhuan hated this kind of person the most, so his complexion became even worse.
"You were kicked out, and instead of fighting your way back, you come to me for help. Do I look like a good person?"
The village chief of Dawang Village was taken aback by what he was said, then lowered his head and said dryly, "We have elderly people and children here, we have to protect their safety."
Xu Jinhuan sneered and retorted sarcastically, "Don't those two villages have any elderly people or children? Those who are taking advantage aren't afraid of getting into trouble, but you who are being bullied are quite thoughtful."
