Chapter 391: Fortune and Honor in Danger (2 in 1)
"Mr. Lu." Wang Zixuan's voice was like the ice in a stream that had just melted, clear but with a chill that could not be ignored.
She tilted her head slightly, her bright eyes flashing with a warning light as she looked straight at Lu Jiawei.
"What kind of friends I make seems to have nothing to do with you, Master Lu. Please be a little respectful?"
Her tone was calm, but it contained disgust that could not be ignored.
At that moment, Lu Jiawei's face seemed to be blown by the cold winter wind and instantly became gloomy.
He didn't expect that Wang Zixuan would dare to challenge him so bluntly without giving him any face.
A trace of anger flashed in Lu Jiawei's eyes, and he gritted his teeth secretly, thinking in his heart: "Just wait, you bitch, sooner or later, I will make you kneel in front of me."
But he buried this resentment and hatred deep in his heart, without revealing even a trace of it.
After all, Wang Zixuan is not an ordinary person. Her strength should not be underestimated. She is also a favorite in the old man's eyes. She is treated as a guest of honor and cannot be easily offended.
Lu Jiawei knew this very well. Even though he was burning with anger, he could only suppress it and maintain a fake smile on his face.
However, Lu Jiawei transferred his anger to Xiao Jin who was standing beside him and glared at him fiercely. His eyes seemed to penetrate Xiao Jin and were full of warning.
Xiao Jin felt the chill, but his expression did not change at all, and he did not take Lu Jiawei's resentment to heart at all.
At this moment, Wang Zixuan seemed to have completely ignored the undercurrents around her. She slowly approached Xiao Jin at a leisurely pace.
She was graceful, with a faint smile on her lips. Xiao Jin's contempt just now seemed to have never happened in Wang Zixuan's eyes.
Wang Zixuan's gaze was gentle and deep, and gently fell on Xiao Jin's face.
"It's nothing, but in this dangerous world, since we are lucky enough to be in the same safe zone, we should naturally help each other like a family and overcome difficulties together."
Her voice was gentle and carried a hint of unquestionable warmth. At least the aboriginal lackeys behind Wang Zixuan heard it and their eyes filled with tears.
Xiao Jin felt dazed for a moment, but she dispelled it in just a second. Looking at Wang Zixuan, a hint of displeasure appeared in her eyes.
This prop is really annoying, why doesn't she shine a light on herself from behind! The Virgin Mary has appeared!
Xiao Jin's face was as calm as an ice-covered lake, with an almost invisible arc at the corner of his mouth: "I'm just an ordinary person, there's no question of helping me.
Besides, I have something else to do, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company." Xiao Jin held Cen Nian's arm, then turned around and left with his men, leaving the large group of people behind.
Xiao Jin's mind was as clear as a mirror. She could see what kind of complex and deep thoughts were hidden behind Wang Zixuan's smiling eyes.
That woman was like a beautiful scorpion hidden in the flowers. She looked gentle and charming on the outside, but in fact she was scheming and very poisonous.
Xiao Jin entered this safe zone only because he was forced by the situation.
Everything here means nothing to her, and Wang Zixuan's kindness seems more like a plot against Xiao Jin.
Huh~
Xiao Jin sneered.
Help each other? What kind of help? I'm afraid she wants me to join her team and help her kill zombies!
Xiao Jin wouldn't dare get involved with such a person. Just imagine how "exciting" it would be for a woman and a group of men.
Xiao Jin just wanted to get away from it quickly and stay away from these psychopaths.
However, Wang Zixuan was obviously not someone who could be easily dismissed.
Her smile was still gentle, but there was a subtle complexity in her eyes, as if she was measuring, evaluating, and testing.
She knew very well that Xiao Jin was not simple either. She could be a help or a threat.
However, Wang Zixuan did not want to offend Xiao Jin easily, so she chose to cover up her embarrassment with a smile and watched the backs of the two people gradually go away and disappear in the bustling crowd in the safe zone.
After walking for a distance, Cen Nian finally spoke: "Who is she? What does she want to do?"
Even Cen Nian could see the evil intentions hidden behind Wang Zixuan's hypocritical smile.
The greetings at the airport were fake. Every player who has survived to this day has a black heart.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jin didn't want to be used as a gun, so Wang Zixuan might have to think of other ways. The stick next to her that had just spoken was a ready-made knife.
Xiao Jin replied to Cen Nian: "Her name is Wang Zixuan, you should have heard of her. Anyway, we are not the same kind of people as her, so don't pay attention to her, just be careful."
'us?'
Cen Nian lowered his eyes and nodded, but his ears turned red.
Brother Xiao Jin said 'we'? Did she already consider him as one of her own?
Cen Nian quickly adjusted himself. He looked thoughtful: "Wang Zixuan? It turned out to be her. Her name is always mentioned on the channel, but..."
As if he had thought of something, Cen Nian's expression was a little puzzled.
However, the comments that followed Wang Zixuan were too polarized.
Some say she is a goddess, calling her "baby" all the time, while others call her a slut and a bitch. Anyway, whenever someone talks about Wang Zixuan, there will be a bloody storm on the channel.
Xiao Jin pursed his lips, thinking that the child still had too little experience.
........................
On the other hand, Lu Jiawei felt more and more aggrieved when he returned home, and it was impossible to calm down.
Wang Zixuan's words kept echoing in his ears, and Xiao Jin's indifferent gaze was like a catalyst, igniting Lu Jiawei's jealousy and hatred towards Xiao Jin.
"Asshole!" He widened his eyes, kicked the coffee table, then threw himself into the sofa, his chest heaving rapidly.
No, I
But Lu Jiawei was not a reckless person. He knew that directly provoking Xiao Jin was like hitting a rock with an egg. So, he first quietly sent his men to secretly investigate Xiao Jin's background. In this era where information is power, even though Xiao Jin's whereabouts were secretive and he did not leave his real name, his extraordinary and unforgettable face became the best mark of his identity. Through a series of intricate networks and some unknown means, Lu Jiawei's men quickly pieced together some key information about Xiao Jin - a
After learning all this, Lu Jiawei's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and he was secretly proud of himself. He knew that to bring down Xiao Jin, force alone was far from enough, and he had to use his wits. So, he began to make careful plans, preparing to lead Xiao Jin step by step into the trap he set.
Lu Jiawei never expected that there was more than one superpower hidden beside the seemingly frail, pale-faced pretty boy. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, coating this group of uninvited guests with a layer of mysterious golden light, which made Lu Jiawei's heart involuntarily shrouded in a haze. If facing a group of ordinary people, the old man might still let him, Lu Jiawei, do whatever he wants, but the intervention of superpowers undoubtedly made the situation complicated and extremely difficult! Lu Jiawei frowned, his eyes flashing with cunning and determination. He knew that he had to come up with a foolproof plan quickly to gain a foothold in this world where superpowers were rampant.
At the same time, Xiao Jin, who was immersed in her own world, was completely unaware of these things. She was standing side by side with her good friend Cen Nian in front of the notice board at the gate of the safe zone. The figures of the two were stretched out, in sharp contrast to the pedestrians passing by. On the notice board, rows of rolling red characters were like jumping flames, attracting the attention of every resident who was eager to improve their lives. Those tasks, as simple as clearing overgrown corners, repairing exterior walls swaying in the wind and rain, strengthening fortifications, or cultivating the land and sowing vegetables, are all daily tasks for residents to earn valuable contribution points. More difficult tasks require professional skills-such as building intricate circuits, repairing crumbling old houses, clearing clogged sewers, and even exploring unknown areas to find scarce resources.
Xiao Jin's eyes moved between the tasks, occasionally exchanging excited glances with Cen Nian, and the desire for unknown challenges ignited in the hearts of both of them. They fantasized that maybe one day, they could also become those legendary brave and fearless superpowers, not only contributing their own strength to the safe zone, but also uncovering the layers of fog in this world and exploring the secrets hidden in the darkness. Cen Nian gently touched Xiao Jin's arm, pointed to a task information that just scrolled by, and his eyes flashed with eagerness: "Look, this task sounds interesting, should we try it?"
Imagine if you accidentally opened a rusty door in the desolate ruins and found an intact warehouse or a once prosperous food processing factory behind it, what a surprise it would be! Imagine that those long-dusty shelves are piled with canned food, dry food, and even unopened purified water. They are like treasures of time, quietly waiting for the right person to discover them. Once you bring these precious supplies back to the safe zone safely, it's like you have a golden ticket to a stable life. From then on, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and no longer have to worry about daily food and clothing.
There is a fair and strict distribution system within the safe zone.
Every piece of material handed in will be carefully registered and evaluated, and then distributed fairly according to the individual's contribution points. These contribution points are like currency in the doomsday. In the center of the safe zone, there is a small supermarket with a variety of goods on the shelves, from daily necessities to luxury snacks. As long as you have enough contribution points, you can realize almost all your wishes here.
However, behind this seemingly tempting opportunity, there are unspeakable risks. Everyone who steps out of the safe zone knows that once they step out of that boundary, it is like stepping into the territory of the god of death. Whether they can return safely depends entirely on fate and strength. The outside world is full of the roar of mutant beasts, the prying of lawless people, and those unknown and terrifying natural phenomena. Therefore, for most residents in the safe zone, unless they are really desperate, they would rather choose some relatively safe tasks with meager income than gamble their lives on that slim chance.
Among them, there are some skilled and courageous people who are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and are even willing to challenge their limits. These people often take the initiative to invite like-minded survivors to form an expedition team to go deep into the ruins and pursue the treasures that may change their destiny.
Xiao Jin didn't have much concern about those so-called contribution points. Her mind was completely focused on the adventure of going out to collect supplies.
Yesterday, when the convoy was moving slowly on the bumpy road, Xiao Jin took advantage of the slight shaking of the car body and closed her eyes to rest, but in fact she was silently calculating everything in her heart. Her consciousness quietly sank into the mysterious space that belonged only to her. There was her little world, a place that could hold countless supplies and miracles. After some careful sorting, she found that with the large amount of crystal cores absorbed last night, not only her strength was slightly improved, but even the space seemed to be gently pulled by an invisible hand and expanded a lot. The empty corner seemed to be calling her silently, urging her to fill it with new spoils as soon as possible.
This sudden "expansion" made Xiao Jin feel particularly excited. She wanted to conquer more zombies and complete more tasks, making her space more fulfilling.
As for Wang Zixuan, the name that was occasionally mentioned in the safe zone, to Xiao Jin, she was just an insignificant passerby.
Then, two figures stood side by side in front of the notice board.
How suitable for Xiao Jin~
After choosing the seemingly simple but actually dangerous task of "collecting solar panels", a staff member with a weathered face but sharp eyes handed Xiao Jin a sealed file bag. The bag was heavy, and seemed to carry not only detailed information of the task, but also endless unknowns and challenges.
"This is your mission information. It contains the exact location of the supply warehouse and the approximate zombie distribution map we drew based on the recent patrol records." His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to be engraved in the air, making it impossible to ignore. "Remember, it used to be a prosperous energy station, but now it has become a paradise for zombies. The solar panels are hidden in those abandoned buildings, but if you want to get them, you must go through the area densely populated by zombies."
Xiao Jin took the file bag.
Upon seeing this, the staff member frowned, and spoke with a bit of reluctance and worry in his tone: "Your companions, don't rush in just for the sake of those contribution points. That's not a good place to go. There are more than just you guys who come to me to take the task today, but they are all psychics with special skills, and you two..." He shook his head, and his unfinished words were full of doubts about their abilities and worries about the unknown.
After saying that, the two turned around.
The heavy metal door of the safe zone slowly opened, as if it was the only passage to an unknown world.
