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

At 6:30 p.m., an announcement was made to all those with superpowers to go to the second floor of Cuiping Shopping Mall for a debriefing meeting.

The debriefing session will be divided into two parts.

The first part consists of reports from each group leader on the problems encountered during the task, as well as the performance of each group member.

The second part is Lou Fengyue's solution and a few pointers.

Each group had a few minor issues, Lou Fengyue explained them one by one.

"He Jun's group performed reasonably well."

"Chen Yue's positioning was too reckless. Most of your teammates are ranged attackers. Next time, be careful not to lure monsters too close to your teammates."

Chen Yue chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed by what he'd been told.

However, his teammates didn't blame him; instead, they patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"The second and third floors are densely packed with zombies, and there are many of them, but Luo Zeyan's team cooperated very well." Lou Fengyue looked at Luo Zeyan, then turned her gaze to Zhang Yong, "The original four-person team had great chemistry, and the two new members also performed very well and didn't hold us back. Moreover, their support was very timely."

Zhang Yong didn't expect to receive Lou Fengyue's affirmation in public. Although he was still a little resentful towards her, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

"Chu Sinian Group".

When Lou Fengyue read out this group's name, her gaze suddenly turned cold. Everyone fell silent and cast strange glances at Shen Xiaoshuang.

"Chu Sinian and Lu An cooperated well. They should mentor Liu Pingsheng more in the future," Lou Fengyue commented calmly, then her gaze fell on Shen Xiaoshuang.

She sat in the corner, head down, like a quail, trying to minimize her presence.

"Shen Xiaoshuang," Lou Fengyue said without any politeness.

Shen Xiaoshuang shuddered, raised her head, met those calm peach blossom eyes, and then quickly lowered it again.

"What's your task today?" Lou Fengyue asked.

"...Follow Chu Sinian's group and carry medical supplies." Shen Xiaoshuang's voice was barely audible.

Did you bring it?

"I brought it."

"Have you used it?"

Silence filled the meeting room.

Lu An stared at Shen Xiaoshuang for a long time before finally speaking, "I told her to save him, but she was crouching in a corner, covering her head and crying, unable to hear anything. If Brother Luo and the others hadn't arrived quickly, Liu Pingsheng might have—"

"Lu An," Lou Fengyue interrupted him, "I wasn't asking you."

Lu An shut his mouth, but the resentment on his face was heavier than a ghost's.

Shen Xiaoshuang's tears fell, her voice trembling, "I...I'm scared...It's the first time I've seen so many zombies, I can't control myself..."

No one spoke in the meeting room, but many people looked at each other with disdain.

afraid?

Who isn't afraid?

But if you're so afraid that you don't even try to save your teammates and just watch them bleed to death, that's a different story.

Lou Fengyue looked at her, remained silent for a few seconds, and said in a calm voice as if she were simply stating a fact: "If Zhou Xuan hadn't been there today and covered for you, Liu Pingsheng might have died in front of you."

Shen Xiaoshuang lowered her head, her shoulders trembling, and stammered, "I...I won't do it again next time."

"There will be no next time." Lou Fengyue's tone was firm. "This isn't a mistake, it's dereliction of duty. Next time, you'll be searching outside the safe zone, and no one will be there to cover for you. Who would dare team up with you? Who would dare risk their life for your 'next time'?"

The meeting room was completely silent. No one took advantage of Shen Xiaoshuang's misfortune, but no one also said a single word in her defense.

Lou Yunzheng stood next to his sister, his gaze fixed on the familiar figure in the corner, and he sighed inwardly.

It felt like something was pressing on my heart, or like I had suddenly let go of something.

Li Yichen stared intently at Lou Fengyue, nudged Luo Zeyan beside him with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "I didn't realize your class monitor was so fierce."

Luo Zeyan glared at him but didn't reply.

He had to admit that the current Lou Fengyue was very different from the pale, innocent girl he remembered.

In the past, when she stood on the podium to hold class meetings, she always had a carefree smile on her face, and her voice had the softness unique to a young girl.

Her classmates all thought she was easy to get along with, so they didn't make things difficult for her. Every time she stood on the stage to speak, everyone would respectfully quiet down and listen to her.

That gentle feeling is like the ocean that can embrace everything.

Now, Lou Fengyue stood there, her peach blossom eyes calm and still, her voice rational and composed, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

The crowd listened to her quietly, not out of deference, but out of fear.

She possesses the destructive power to unleash tsunamis and destroy cities.

But whether it's gentle and tolerant or fierce and intimidating, the sea remains the same sea.

Shen Xiaoshuang, who had never suffered any injustice since childhood, was easily brought to tears by Lou Fengyue's few unpleasant words.

No one around dared to speak, and no one offered her any comfort.

Qin Qian glanced at Shen Xiaoshuang, then quickly looked away and handed the list of crystal core allocations to Lou Fengyue.

"We have collected all the F-grade and E-grade crystal cores in the hotel. Please take a look and see if there are any problems with this allocation."

Lou Fengyue took it and glanced at it.

E-level crystal cores belong to D-level superhumans.

Others received varying numbers of F-grade crystal cores based on their contributions and ability levels.

There's nothing seriously wrong.

but--

Lou Fengyu pointed to Shen Xiaoshuang's name on the form.

According to Qin Qian's allocation, Shen Xiaoshuang will also receive an F-grade crystal core.

"This is for Zhou Xuan." Lou Fengyue's voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable force. "Shen Xiaoshuang is not suitable for the front lines. She will be transferred to the logistics department to move supplies."

The breathing in the conference room became quieter.

Zhou Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was silenced by a look from Luo Zeyan.

Qin Qian nodded and transferred Shen Xiaoshuang's crystal core to Zhou Xuan's name.

A new task has been issued: Clear out the remaining zombies in the northeast area tomorrow. How many crystal cores you can get depends on your own ability; there's no need to hand them over for distribution.

After finishing these matters, Qin Qian adjourned the meeting.

Then they kept Lou Fengyue.

Lou Yunzheng watched Shen Xiaoshuang walk out absentmindedly, sighed softly, and then rubbed his sister's head: "I'm going back first, don't stay too late."

"Okay." Lou Fengyue nodded obediently.

As soon as her brother left, she changed completely, sitting in her seat with a cold face and eyes full of impatience.

"What is it?"

Qin Qian took a deep breath, pulled out the chair next to him, and sat down.

"Comrade Loulan, you have a good understanding of natural disasters. I'd like to ask if you have any opinions on the current planning of the safe zone?"

"Oh--"

Lou Fengyue sneered and rolled her eyes. "You built the safe zone right in front of my house, and then you ask me if I have a problem with it?"

Qin Qian: ...

It's clear that they have a lot of opinions.
