You say the cataclysm only comes after you've cleared the entire dungeon?

When they returned to the safe zone, Du Gui arrived with a team of special police officers to clear the bodies outside.

The hole that had been punctured had been almost repaired. Lou Fengyue glanced at it and saw that it was as sturdy as a child's paper craft. She estimated that it would collapse again in a few days.

"Is everything resolved?" Du Gui's concerned gaze swept between Luo Zeyan and Lou Fengyue, seemingly to confirm that they were not injured.

"Mm." Lou Fengyue's emotions were calm. She took out a crystal core collector from her spatial storage and handed it to Ning Yuan, who came up to her. "Help me collect the crystal cores later."

"Yes." Ning gave a professional salute, her eyes filled with respect.

Du Gui glanced at Ning Yuan, then at Lou Fengyue, and said with a slightly ingratiating tone, "Comrade Lou Lan, you've worked hard. Go and rest for a while."

Lou Fengyue glanced at him with a puzzled look, but quickly understood the intention in his expression.

He said bluntly, "You handle the situation with the superhumans yourself; I'm not going to show off."

Du Gui's expression immediately fell, and he helplessly pursed his lips.

Then, turning to look at Luo Zeyan, his eyes lit up again: "Comrade Luo is so amazing, could you spare some time to train other ability users?"

Luo Zeyan paused, clearly not expecting to see himself involved in the spectacle.

He glanced hesitantly at Lou Fengyue, who was the leader of this support operation. If she didn't agree, who would dare to make a rash decision?

Meeting Luo Zeyan's questioning gaze, Lou Fengyue quickly looked away and shrugged indifferently, "I'm going out later, only taking Ning Yuan and the other two. You and Li Yichen can do as you please."

Upon hearing this, Du Gui's eyes brightened even more, and he stared at Luo Zeyan with anticipation.

Luo Zeyan's face remained expressionless; he simply nodded calmly.

Du Gui was overjoyed and invited Luo Zeyan and Li Yichen to the playground, where he then gathered the eight superhumans.

Before leaving, Luo Zeyan turned to look at Lou Fengyue, his deep eyes revealing emotions he was trying hard to suppress.

After a pause of three or four seconds, he whispered, "Remember to apply medicine to the wound on your arm."

Lou Fengyue's pupils trembled almost imperceptibly, as if she had just remembered that she was injured.

She looked down at the scratches on her arm and mumbled a "hmm".

Luo Zeyan turned and left.

Lou Fengyue stood there, staring at his back for two seconds, then looked away and sat down by a quiet flower bed.

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing several scratches across her forearms, not deep, but oozing blood.

She placed her other hand on it, conjuring a ball of green light, and in a short while, the wound completely disappeared.

The healing ability I got from Yin Yu is actually quite useful.

When Ning Yuan finished collecting the crystal cores and came over, she happened to see this scene.

But she wisely didn't ask any questions, and simply handed over the heavy cloth bag, which jingled loudly inside.

"Captain, we've collected them all. Twenty-two, mostly F and E grade, with four D grade."

Lou Fengyue took the cloth bag, weighed it in her hand, and casually stuffed it into her pocket. "Let's go, let's go for a walk."

"Where to?" Ning asked.

"work."

Fang Yuan and Shi Lei were already waiting at the gate of the safety zone. The four of them rode together in an off-road vehicle and drove out of the Yulin safety zone.

Eight people with superpowers gathered on the elementary school playground.

Li Yichen and Luo Zeyan stood beside Du Gui, looking at the few superhumans in front of them who stood sloppily and whose eyes were full of disdain and arrogance. A hint of impatience gradually rose in their eyes.

"These two are advanced ability users from Linjiang. They're here today to give you a training session." Du Gui's tone wasn't harsh, but it wasn't exactly gentle either. "From now on, you'll need to contribute to the safe zone and work together to protect this peaceful place."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cold sneer came from the crowd.

"Training what? Do you expect us ordinary citizens to go and fight on the front lines?"

A young man in his early twenties with a buzz cut sat lazily on the ground, his face full of mischief and disdain, looking unwilling to cooperate.

"Soldiers are supposed to protect the people. I'm not as brave as you guys, risking my life for them."

"Exactly! We pay so much tax every year to support you officials and the military, isn't it all so that someone will step up in a pinch?" A middle-aged woman who had been watching the commotion chimed in, raising her voice. "And now that something's happened, you want to push us out to our deaths?"

Once someone started it, the others chimed in.

"Exactly! We're not soldiers, why should we be sent to our deaths?"

"The government isn't providing supplies, and we have to go out and find them ourselves? What's the point of us living here then?"

"I don't care, I awakened my superpower because I was lucky, not to be used as a pawn by you!"

Du Gui's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he did not immediately refute it. Instead, he subconsciously glanced at Luo Zeyan.

The people Qin Qian specifically requested to send as reinforcements, and the people that the ancestor of Loulan agreed to bring as part of a team, must be quite capable.

He wanted to see how Luo Zeyan would respond.

Luo Zeyan stood there, his expression unchanged, as if he had expected this reaction.

After the group had finished arguing, he slowly asked, "Are you done?"

The noise gradually subsided, and the group looked at each other, seemingly surprised that this man, who didn't seem to talk much, would take the initiative to speak.

"You think that because you've paid taxes, the government should support you," Luo Zeyan said in a low voice, without anger or sarcasm. "But now the tax system is paralyzed, the banks are shut down, and all the taxes you've paid have become a string of useless numbers."

The short-haired boy who had been shouting the loudest earlier opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but found himself unable to say anything.

"In the apocalypse, there are no governments or civilians, only the living and the dead." Luo Zeyan's gaze slowly swept over everyone. "No one is obligated to protect you, including the armed police and special police. They just remember that they wore that uniform and are trying their best to block you."

"Fine!" The buzz-cut boy jumped up, dusted himself off, and glared at Luo Zeyan with hostility. "Even if we agree to work, why should we take your orders? We're all superhumans, what right do you have to be our instructor?"

Li Yichen raised an eyebrow and leisurely turned to look at Luo Zeyan.

Good grief, this wave is aimed at him.

"Because my level is higher than yours, and I am more skilled at controlling my abilities," Luo Zeyan said calmly, but his words were anything but modest.

The buzz-cut guy sneered, speechless: "How do you know you're better than us? Who created these rankings? Are there any standards? Are you just bragging?"

Upon hearing this, the others immediately burst into mocking laughter.

They seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

Du Gui's expression darkened.

We finally managed to get Luo Zeyan and Li Yichen to come and give us some guidance. If they get driven away by this group, the Yulin Safety Zone will truly be doomed.

If Lou Fengyue were here, she would have quit long ago after hearing these words.

After all, whether these people live or die is none of her business.

Fortunately, Luo Zeyan wasn't as impulsive as her; he remained standing there, his face expressionless.

He slowly uttered, "You can pick anyone to fight me, or—"

"Let's go together."
