My cells devour all worlds.

Yu Qingyi has even started to imagine her future life.

Although she and her sister are both Awakened, they don't have much combat power, so they haven't gone to the inner city for certification yet.

They also dare not buy untreated meat and then resell it after purifying it.

Without strength, even money cannot protect you.

But with Lu Sheng joining, things will be different.

Lu Sheng is very skilled, and now he has awakened the ability to enhance his body. Moreover, Yu Qingyi remembers that Lu Sheng also obtained a pistol. Ordinary people would definitely not dare to provoke them.

If they are careful, they can make money just by buying and selling unpurified and purified meat, and after a few months they can buy several decent guns.

That way, she and her sister can help when they go out.

"Brother Lu, what do you think?"

After Yu Qingyi finished explaining her idea, she looked at Lu Sheng expectantly.

They did consider going to the inner city to find a small team to join.

For example, the Rose Squad sounds pretty good. The captain is a Level 2 Awakened, and the squad only accepts women.

If it weren't for meeting Lu Sheng, Yu Qingyi would have gone to find this team with her sister.

Compared to the unfamiliar and unknown Rose Team, Yu Qingyi actually preferred to be on Lu Sheng's team.

He even left behind a rare fruit; Brother Lu must be a good person.

Yu Qingxuan remained silent, unusually offering no objection.

Purification? Toxin control?

Two fairly good abilities.

Especially with their purification ability, the two sisters will receive good treatment no matter which team they join.

Lu Sheng had just witnessed this at the free trade market: a single ground squirrel, after being purified, could sell for ten per kilogram.

The profit margin of several times over is simply terrifying.

And it might even be able to purify abnormal bodily conditions.

Even if not, this one ability alone is already quite good; she's definitely a money-making machine.

And then there's Yu Qingxuan, whose ability to control poison is good for both defense and surprise attacks, and might even have a miraculous effect.

They also possess some medical skills, making them highly sought-after.

Most importantly, both of them still have humanity, and Yu Qingyi is even somewhat naive.

Such a person would be a good teammate or a good friend.

Lu Sheng believed that if he were any one of them, he would never let himself live, let alone spare him or even be willing to give him a strange fruit as compensation.

So what exactly did "he" do to Yu Qingyi before that made her trust him so much?

Lu Sheng only had a general idea of ​​the memories he received, and the details were unclear.

After all, he was someone who didn't exist in this world before, perhaps it was due to the system's divine power, Lu Sheng guessed.

Seeing that Lu Sheng remained silent for a long time, Yu Qingyi thought that Lu Sheng was unwilling, after all, it was indeed troublesome to have two burdens.

A hint of disappointment crept onto her face. "Brother Lu, if you don't want to, then forget it..."

Yu Qingxuan poked at the firewood sticks, which seemed to have been burning for too long, and they snapped with a crack.

Lu Sheng found it somewhat amusing. "I have no problem forming a team, but what I find a little strange is why you trust me so much?"

"Really? That's great!"

Upon hearing Lu Sheng's words, Yu Qingyi immediately perked up, her smile returning and her eyebrows curving upwards.

She explained, "That's because they're all bad people. They always try to take advantage of our work, either not paying at all, paying less than they should, or even delaying payment. They also always bully us. Their eyes are strange and scary."

"But Brother Lu is different. Brother Lu is a good person."

Lu Sheng finally understood that he was only able to stand out because of his "peers," and it was indeed unlikely that two women wouldn't be bullied in such an environment.

Yu Qingxuan replaced the stick with a thicker one and poked the fire, making it burn even brighter.

……

After half an hour.

At the entrance to the inner city of the southern district.

The tall walls stand tall, topped with electrified barbed wire.

The gate, several meters wide, is equipped with an electronic fence that lifts from time to time to allow all sorts of modified vehicles to come and go.

On both sides of the road outside the gate, more than a dozen ragged people stood, sat or lay down, staring longingly at the vehicles entering and leaving the city gate, hoping that some kind-hearted important person would leave behind something they didn't want.

But no one asked for anything, because there was a sign prohibiting begging next to them, and there were armed soldiers with cold eyes standing at the small gate for pedestrians to pass through.

No one dared to break the rules; the unwashed bloodstains on the ground served as the best warning.

Lu Sheng and his sister Yu Qingxuan arrived at the small door.

The three of them didn't know much about the inner city; they had only heard that becoming an Awakened One meant they could go to the inner city to register and have the opportunity to stay there.

Lu Sheng simply called the two men over to check and gather information.

By this time, there were already other people ahead of them.

Two soldiers, each gripping a long spear, questioned the man: "Halt! What are you doing here?"

The man smiled obsequiously, clearly very familiar with the process. He pulled out a few crumpled bills from his pocket, respectfully handed them over, and said, "Sir, I'm here to get a temporary certificate so I can go in to visit my relatives."

The soldier's expression softened somewhat. He took out a certificate and a piece of paper from the side and slapped them into the man's hand. "Five Hope Coins. Temporary certificate valid for 24 hours. You can only move around in the outer areas and commercial districts marked on the map."

"Entry into private residential and administrative areas is prohibited without permission. Anyone who overstays their permitted time or crosses the boundary will be shot on sight! Got it?"

The man nodded quickly, "Understood, understood."

"Go in."

The soldiers then let them pass.

Then, the soldier turned his gaze to Lu Sheng and his two companions who were approaching, and repeated the same explanation:

"Stop! What are you doing here?"

Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks. "Come register as an awakened person."

The soldier raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the Lu Sheng and Yu Qingxuan sisters. "All three of them?"

"Yes, all of them."

Upon hearing the answer, the soldier's expression changed instantly.

Not far away, the old man who had just been lying on the ground as if he was on his last breath suddenly looked up and stared at them in astonishment.

Upon hearing this, the one-legged middle-aged man jumped up, and one after another, envious glances swept over him.

Hearing that all three of them were in the same situation, the soldier's tone softened. "Normally, you need to get a temporary certificate to enter the inner city for the first time, but considering various circumstances, the base will advance the payment for you."

"If what you say is true, the record will be automatically deleted. But if you are lying..."

The soldier's piercing gaze swept over them, and he said, enunciating each word clearly, "Kill them on the spot! Do you need to confirm this again?"

Lu Sheng's expression remained unchanged. "No need."

Although Yu Qingyi and Yu Qingxuan lingered behind Lu Sheng with restraint, their eyes did not reveal any guilt or fear.

The soldier said nothing more, took three temporary certificates from the side, stamped each one with a small seal, and then handed three maps to Lu Sheng.

The soldier pointed to the folded-out area, "The registration area for Awakened Ones is right here."

Lu Sheng thanked them, handed the certificates to Yu Qingyi and Yu Qingxuan, and then led the two past the soldiers and across the gate.

Just a door away, it felt like two different worlds.

The roads inside are wide, clean and tidy, and the shops on both sides are full of goods, covering everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation. It feels as if you have returned to modern society.

The pedestrians on the street were dressed neatly and fashionably, and some even had their pets, which had not mutated, walking around.

Lu Sheng suddenly thought of a sentence:

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

He breathed a sigh of relief and led the two to the registration point marked on the map.
