It really underestimates the prestige of Area 188 now.
Even if those outsiders donāt know what theyāve done or that theyāve built an almost invincible defense with Crystal City, they donāt want to be enemies with Area 188 as long as thereās a chance.
"Pfft, these people are really interesting." Lou FeiāEr couldnāt help but laugh, "Seems like we donāt need to worry for a while."
"Hey, did you guys notice? The temperature those people from other areas experience doesnāt seem as high as ours!" Zeng Tao said in surprise, "Over there, it seems like the midday temperature is just below fifty degrees..."
Thatās normal.
Previously, Xu Xin had calculated that the more survivors there are in a place, the stronger the disasters they endure. Those lone survivors probably wouldnāt survive the temperatures here.
Xu Xin sighed and sat down on the sofa, rubbing Kekeās little head again as she dozed off on the sofa armrest.
Really so tiring, spending a whole night in mental tension, and upon returning, such things happened. Even Wenxi has disappeared...
Wenxi has always been his greatest solace in this world, and now that sheās gone, Xu Xin feels his motivation has diminished greatly.
"Tired?" Lou FeiāEr saw Xu Xinās exhausted look and walked over, saying, "Then you should rest a bit first. Now that the heatwave is over, even though thereās regional conflict, those outsiders simply canāt come over..."
She hadnāt finished speaking and stopped.
She slowly turned her head to look at Shi Wanyun, who had been standing silently, manipulating her watch, with a slightly unpleasant expression.
Others followed her gaze.
Isnāt there just one outsider survivor among them now?
The strongest survivor from Area 1, which is the strongest apart from Area 188!
Xu Xin, Lou FeiāEr, Zeng Tao, and Jin Yue, who know her background, all sharpened their gazes, and Zeng Tao, Jin Yue, and Lou FeiāEr slightly tensed up, surrounding Shi Wanyun.
"...You donāt need to be so wary..." Shi Wanyun said somewhat helplessly.
Although her intentions werenāt pure, she indeed wasnāt planning anything now, and just wanted to build a good relationship with Xu Xin.
Upon learning about Li Wenxiās disappearance, she even thought the situation was developing well, and she could seize the opportunity to worm her way in.
But the sudden regional conflict issued by the mysterious voice disrupted all her plans!
Seeing the way they looked at her made her feel a bit powerless.
Now, perhaps no matter what she does, itāll be suspected?
If it were just Xu Xin, she might attempt a move, but...
Considering the individual strengths of those around her, none were weaker than her; doing something under their watchful eyes wouldnāt be easy...
"I really donāt know how I got here, and now I canāt find a way back." Shi Wanyun defended.
"...Who is she?" Li Yajun quietly asked Lou FeiāEr beside her, somewhat confused.
Lou FeiāEr softly said, "Shi Wanyun from Area 1."
"Shi from Area 1... ah?" Li Yajun immediately widened her eyes, "Shi Wanyun?"
Le Youfang and Niu Fugui, upon hearing Lou FeiāErās words, also opened their mouths in shock.
"And, have you forgotten, the current Area 1 and Area 188 are allies." Shi Wanyun softly said.
Allies...
Xu Xin shook his head with disgust.
That was under the previous rules, now that mysterious voice has overturned everything, who knows whether the alliance counts anymore.
The alliance channel is in complete chaos now.
"...If you donāt believe me, I can be contracted like Lou FeiāEr and the others by Xu Xin." Shi Wanyun struggled in expression, bit her lip, and said somewhat painfully, "This way, you can rest assured, right? I donāt want to be doubted all the time..."
In fact, theyāve discussed this before while trapped on the third floor of the castle, so she knows about the contract.
"Good idea!" Zeng Tao immediately said, pointing her small finger at Shi Wanyun, "I was thinking the same thing just now, Xu Xin, you must treat us equally, donāt just contract me and not her! She must be restricted too!"
Xu Xin looked at Shi Wanyun, who appeared to be forcefully trying to smile happily.
It indeed is a good idea.
Take control of her, then directly ask from her deceit-free mouth for the intelligence on the back of the planet!
Shi Wanyun lowered her head, a glimmer flashing through her eyes.
She really thought of a good way to immediately reduce suspicion.
They seem to trust this sort of contract?
But unfortunately...
Itās ineffective against her.
