"Demotion? What's going on?!"
Zhao Feng looked at his daughter lying on the bed with a pale face, feeling a bit heartbroken. He examined her for a while and noticed that she had no external injuries, which puzzled him. However, he knew his eldest daughter was always smart and was in the base, so she wouldn't get hurt for no reason.
It was thanks to Xuanxuan that he was able to eliminate Liu Yuan back then.
At that time, Liu Yuan seemed to know something and was always wary of him, slowly undermining his authority. Yet he could never find an opportunity to get rid of him. Fortunately, Xuanxuan informed him about an upcoming large Meteor Shower, and Liu You'er was so infatuated with the starry sky that it gave him the idea. Initially, he only wanted to kill Liu Yuan, but it proved too difficult, and he believed that no poison was without its risks!
However, Liu You'er surviving became a hidden danger. Later, seeing that she had no idea about the company's affairs and thought that the accident was her fault, feeling guilty every day, he decided not to deal with her anymore.
Once he obtained custody, he immediately took action and swallowed the company within six months. Although there were some stubborn old-timers making things bumpy along the way, the result was what mattered most.
"I encountered a strange White-Haired Woman who somehow got involved with Zhao Ling and caused me to be schemed against. Dad, please help me investigate."
Upon hearing this, a hint of ferocity flashed across Zhao Feng's kind face.
"What do you plan to do?"
"Hmph~ I certainly won't let her off easily!"
The dim light filtered through the curtains, revealing the shadow of an adult man listening intently.
J City is very close to B City; usually, it takes about three hours by car to get there. Before the apocalypse, it was known as the "Shopping Capital," filled with all kinds of goods and extremely rich in resources. The floating population could be described as "packed," but strangely enough, there were hardly any Zombies in the city.
"Hey, you say you can't help but cause trouble every day; why can't you control yourself a bit? You and your cousin..."
"Get lost!"
Xuan Mo was interrupted before finishing her sentence, and she couldn't help but feel amused. The information about Liu You'er's family was not very detailed; aside from her parents, there were only a photo and names for the others. It seemed the doctor thought it wasn't important, but she didn't expect Liu Xinxuan to be so worked up about it.
Her eyes narrowed like a fox's, forming a crescent shape, clearly enjoying the situation.
"You tell me, no matter how deep the grudge or hatred, this is already the end of days. Is there really a need to hold grudges? Even if you see your family, you don't have to calculate against them, right? And making someone lose their rank—now karma has come back around, huh? You have to do tasks for others now."
"Xuan Mo?"
The gentle tone made him quickly step back a few paces, watching Liu You'er warily, only to find that the person in front of him had already vanished. He hurriedly turned around and just caught Liu You'er leaning close to his ear, asking, “Who is Ruru?”
“Creak.”
The door opened, and from Liu Xindream's perspective, it looked like Xuan Mo was getting cozy with Liu You'er. With a grimace on her face, she exclaimed, “Shameless!” before storming downstairs, stomping on the stairs loudly.
She thought to herself, “Hmph! Chuze is much more handsome and doesn’t flirt around!”
Inside the room, the two bewildered individuals heard the noise and exchanged confused glances. They realized they were too close and simultaneously displayed their disdain, quickly stepping back.
“Two days and you’ve already captured someone—tch tch tch~ A disaster.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo broke into a radiant smile, feeling proud and showing off as she began to boast.
“I'll tell you, my charm is undeniable. Back then, girls chasing after me could line up for several kilometers. The agency approached me no less than five times, yet you—this cold-hearted one—look at me without even a hint of affection...”
Finally, he couldn't continue because Liu You'er was completely still at that moment, staring at him with wide eyes and an extremely serious expression that gave him goosebumps.
“Ahem, um, can we talk about something else?”
Liu You'er continued to stare at him without blinking, and after a while, she finally said seriously, "That charming guy who smashed the wall is your twin brother, right? Can you talk to the doctor about it? This one is too incompetent; the buyer is not satisfied."
After saying this, she left Xuan Mo in disbelief and vanished from the spot.
Xuan Mo stiffly turned to look at the door. He knew Liu You'er was outside, but for some reason, he moved his lips but didn't speak. As he lowered his head, a smile curved at the corners of his mouth.
"Strange, why didn't he chase me out or scream? Did I stimulate him?"
Liu You'er smiled, thinking that stimulating him was the best outcome; of course, making him furious would be even better.
Just as she happily walked downstairs, she sensed that the atmosphere was off. The people on the mission were either mocking or disdainful, and two of them were leering at her in a rather creepy way. Only one person sat quietly in the corner with their eyes closed.
Her gaze shifted to Liu Xindream's face and noticed the provocation in her eyes. She realized that Liu Xindream had probably told everyone about what had just happened between her and Xuan Mo and had added some embellishments.
However, Liu You'er didn't care. She calmly sat in a chair by the window and drank water; it was spatial water that could help her recover energy.
This time on the mission, aside from herself and Xuan Mo, the other eight people were some of the more powerful Ability users from B City. Of course, except for Liu Xindream, who had connections. It seemed she initially wanted to share credit with Liu Xinxuan, but now she was left to fight alone. Fortunately, she still had some usefulness; her ability to mask human scent saved them a lot of trouble.
So they first found a three-story building near J City, cleared it out, and were now inside assessing the situation. Liu Xindream could already mask scents within a half-mile radius, so they weren't worried about being surrounded by the Horde for now.
Liu You'er had to admit that this skill was quite impressive. She was more than Second-Level compared to Liu Xindream, yet even in the same room with these people, they couldn't smell any human scent—now that was remarkable.
A man who already held a grudge against Liu You'er grew even angrier when he saw her calmly sitting there drinking water.
"What kind of city lord of L Base are you? Just someone relying on a bit of looks to cling to power; do you really think you're something special? Why are you messing around during a mission? Wouldn't it be more fun back at the base?"
"Hahaha~"
Several Ability Users burst into laughter upon hearing this, arrogantly looking at Liu You'er, who was calmly sipping water and admiring the scenery outside.
"Hey! Can't you understand human language? I'm talking to you!"
Liu You'er finally raised her eyebrows and looked directly at the speaker, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
"Thank you for the compliment. I also think I'm quite beautiful, but if you keep shouting like that, those Advanced Zombies might come over~"
The person was taken aback, cursing himself under his breath. He pulled aside the curtain and peeked outside, only to find that indeed, a dozen or so Level 4 to Level 5 Zombies were curiously staring at the building, causing him to feel weak in the knees.
A dozen Zombies weren't terrifying; what was frightening was that they were less than a kilometer from the city. If these Zombies discovered them, it would surely attract a horde!
Liu You'er looked at their pale faces and smiled gently.
"You've been struggling in this apocalypse for so long; I shouldn't have to tell you about the dangers of infighting. It's quite embarrassing to be led around by a little girl~"
The leader of the group immediately glared at Liu You'er with murderous intent upon hearing this, but he noticed that there seemed to be a dark red glow swirling in her eyes, her pupils pitch black like an abyss—falling in would mean certain death.
"Hmph~ Forget it!"
He broke out in a cold sweat, feeling guilty as he withdrew his gaze but was still filled with anger, casting a resentful glance at Liu Xindream.
If it weren't for her stirring up emotions earlier, he wouldn't have made such a foolish mistake! But he couldn't help but think about how he had been captivated by Liu Xindream's charming little face just moments ago.
