I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Wang Wei led Su Wan and Liu Yanni back into the house.

The moment the door closed, the sound of the thunderstorm was shut out.

The living room was so quiet that only the breathing of the three people could be heard.

Su Wan stood there numbly, her hands unconsciously clenching together.

Her eyes were still red, and an indescribable emotion was stuck in her chest.

Liu Yanni stood to the side, her shoulders swaying slightly.

Wang Wei walked to the dining table, poured himself a glass of water, took a slow sip, and looked at the two of them: "Can't bear to do it?"

Su Wan raised her head, her voice a little hoarse: "She just wanted to survive... She didn't harm us."

Wang Wei put down his water glass and turned to look at her.

"She didn't harm us because she never had the chance."

Su Wan was taken aback.

"Zhao Lie asked her to investigate my domain ability," Wang Wei said calmly. "What if one day, Zhao Lie orders her to kill me?"

Su Wan opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"Will she take action?" Wang Wei asked himself, answering, "Yes. Because she wants to survive."

"Everything she said today is true—she didn't want to hurt me, she didn't want to go against me, she just wanted to survive."

"But if she wants to live, she has to trade our lives for hers."

"Do you think I should let her have her way?"

Su Wan fell silent.

Liu Yanni looked at Wang Wei, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

"But...but she's already..." Su Wan's voice was very soft, "...already dead..."

"Yes, she's dead." Wang Wei sat down and leaned back on the sofa. "Because she wasn't strong enough."

"If she were stronger than me, I would be the one lying on the ground right now."

Su Wan's body trembled slightly.

Wang Wei looked at her, his gaze calm to the point of being almost indifferent.

"This is the end times; there is no right or wrong, only life and death."

His voice was soft, but every word weighed heavily on their hearts like a stone.

"Liu Yuemei wanted to live, and that wasn't wrong. I killed her, and that wasn't wrong either."

Wang Wei picked up his water glass again and took a sip.

"Only when you're alive do you have the right to feel compassion. Once you're dead, you have nothing left."

"Maybe next time, we'll be the ones who die."

Wang Wei looked at the two of them and said, "I'll say it one last time: put away your useless pity."

"In this world, being soft-hearted is the greatest death warrant."

Su Wan lowered her head and said nothing more.

Liu Yanni also fell silent.

The living room fell silent for a moment.

But at that moment,

Wang Wei's lips curled up slightly.

coming.

A moment later,

Knock, knock, knock.

A knock came at the door.

Su Wan subconsciously looked at Wang Wei.

"Open the door," Wang Wei said calmly.

Su Wan walked over and opened the door.

Zhao Lie stood outside the door, followed by Fatty Li.

"Wang Wei," Zhao Lie said, his voice low, "What happened to Liu Yuemei was my fault."

He didn't argue; he admitted it right away.

"I had her investigate your domain ability; it was the Alliance's decision."

Wang Wei didn't speak, he just looked at him.

Zhao Lie took a deep breath.

"I'm here today—"

He paused, then looked directly at Wang Wei.

"I want to cooperate with you."

The living room fell silent for a moment.

Wang Wei's expression remained unchanged; he simply asked, "Cooperation?"

"Yes." Zhao Lie nodded. "It wasn't the alliance's idea; it was my own decision."

"You need someone with superpowers, and I can help you."

Wang Wei looked at him. "What are the conditions?"

Zhao Lie was silent for a moment before speaking: "If one day... I need a way out."

Wang Wei's lips curled up slightly.

"You've awakened to SSS rank, what are you afraid of regarding the cataclysm?"

Zhao Lie gave a wry smile.

"I know my limitations; level is just a number, and what I'm most worried about isn't a cataclysmic event..."

Wang Wei looked at him without saying a word.

Zhao Lie met his gaze and said, word by word, "So, I want to stand on your side."

A moment later

"Can."

Wang Wei stood up, walked calmly to Zhao Lie, and

"As for a way out—"

He paused.

"As long as you still have value, not only the Alliance, but all the superhumans in the world will come—"

"You won't die either."

Zhao Lie's pupils contracted slightly.

"Okay." Zhao Lie nodded emphatically. "It's a deal."

Wang Wei didn't reply, but glanced out the window: "Liu Yuemei's body is outside, take it away."

Zhao Lie nodded, turned around and walked out.

Fatty Li smiled at Wang Wei and quickly followed.

Inside the residential community.

Zhao Lie looked down at Liu Yuemei's corpse on the ground and remained silent for a moment.

Liu Yuemei still had that last smile on her face.

A fine bolt of lightning shot out from Zhao Lie's fingertips.

"laugh--"

The corpse instantly turned to ashes, which were scattered by the wind, leaving nothing behind.

Fatty Li stood to the side, his lips moved, but he ultimately didn't say anything.

She's quite beautiful, it's a real shame.

In the living room,

Su Wan asked hesitantly, "You...believe him?"

Wang Wei sat back down on the sofa: "A letter?"

He chuckled softly.

"It's just a deal."

Su Wan was taken aback.

Wang Wei didn't explain further, but simply looked out the window.

Zhao Lie wanted to find a way out.

can.

As long as he still has value and brings enough superhumans.

As for the way out—

If something is valuable, there will naturally be a way out.

It has no value, and there is no way out.

Wang Wei picked up his water glass and took another sip.

-

at the same time,

Within the Dragon Kingdom, large convoys were slowly making their way along the broken highway.

Each vehicle was completely wrapped in metal mesh, from the roof to the body, the dense metal mesh gleaming coldly in the lightning.

The alliance is using Faraday cages to shield people from the impact of the thunderstorm and gradually relocating the population.

From north to south, from east to west, countless convoys are moving simultaneously across the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Clearly, the alliance has launched a population relocation plan.

Tianhai City Base

The underground parking garages of those residential areas, which were originally separate, were all breached and connected through the joint efforts of the military and superhumans.

The underground space has been transformed into an underground city, and it is expanding and improving at an extremely rapid pace.

Rows of lights came on, from near to far, from dark to bright.

The crowd poured out of the passageway, and everyone's face showed exhaustion.

But the moment the lights came on—

"The light...the light is on..."

"We have power...we have power..."

Countless people wept with joy.

A young soldier stood at the entrance of the passage, watching all this, his eyes red-rimmed.

"Report to command—" He pressed the communicator, his voice hoarse but firm, "The first batch of personnel transferred from Tianhai City base has arrived safely, numbering 12,000, with no casualties."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator, then an aged voice came through:

"it is good."

The voice trembled slightly, but quickly regained its composure.

"continue."

"yes!"

The young soldier turned and walked towards the entrance of the passage to begin organizing the transfer of the next group of people.

Underground, the lights are bright.

On the ground, the thunderstorm continued.

-

The construction of six major bases and the population relocation plan are being fully implemented.

But the city of Jiangnan is missing—

This place... remains lifeless.
