Apocalypse: I pick up trash in a survival game

Chapter 56 Meeting, Alone!
After coming out of the private field, Suning was about to go home when he was stopped by Zhang Xing who suddenly appeared.

He said anxiously, "What a coincidence! I was just about to look for you, Suning. The shelter is going to announce something very important. All important staff of the shelter must be present. This cannot be missed."

Suning nodded to show his understanding.

And she also knew in her heart that this was most likely the big thing that Jiang Nana had reminded her of before.

So she answered without hesitation, "I know, I will be there on time."

After saying that, Suning quickly rushed to the designated square.

However, on the way to the square, Suning was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere around the shelter.

The originally scorching hot air seemed to become cooler at this moment, and the temperature dropped significantly.

Although it was still extremely hot during the day, this subtle temperature change still attracted the attention of Suning and others.

“The weather has actually gotten a bit cooler!”

"Yes!"

"It seems that the extreme temperature is about to pass, and new challenges are about to come."

Suning couldn't help but sigh. Recalling the news about the extreme cold she had heard before, she couldn't help but shiver.

Whether it is extreme temperature or extreme cold, extreme weather is a huge test and torture for human beings.

Suning does not know how long the upcoming extreme cold will last, but the current drop in temperature has made people feel at least a little more comfortable before extreme natural disasters come.

When he arrived at the square, Suning saw many important staff of the shelter gathered there.

Yan Wentao and his wife were also there.

They obviously rushed here after receiving the notice. Looking at the serious expressions on their faces, it seems that some of the information is no longer a secret.

Of course, there were some people who just came to join in the fun. These people had just returned from the dungeon world. They looked very happy, and it was obvious that they had obtained a lot of good things in the dungeon. However, some people looked pale.

Someone complained, "What's the matter that made us come here right away? I'm in a hurry to deal with the supplies I brought out of the dungeon. This time I went through a lot of hardships to find a large bag of water. Before the next dungeon comes, I can finally drink water as much as I want."

Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "Wow, bro, you're so awesome, can you help your younger brother?"

The man quickly refused, "Let's talk about it later. The manager of the Sixth Shelter is here."

Liu Jianjun walked onto the stage.

He looked at the people in the square, picked up the microphone with a heavy expression and began to explain the reason.

"I gathered you all together shortly after you finished the dungeon because I have something important to announce. During the seven days since you entered the dungeon world, something shocking happened in reality. The Ninth Sanctuary was destroyed by an irresistible factor."

After hearing the news, everyone started talking and there was a lot of noise.

"How can this be?"

"Yeah, Sanctuary 9 is a big sanctuary!"

"What caused it to fall?"

The voices in the crowd grew louder, full of doubt and uneasiness.

Suning was among the crowd listening to the news that had already been received, and her heart was calm. However, just because she knew it in advance, it didn't mean that others would know it.

Later, Liu Jianjun told people even more explosive news: animals can also enter the copy world and gain talents just like them!

The culprit behind the destruction of the Ninth Sanctuary was none other than a powerful and gifted Rat King.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing uproar among the crowd.

Everyone started talking, their faces full of shock and anxiety. Liu Jianjun looked at the restless crowd in front of him and raised his voice to continue, "After discussion, several other shelters have joined us to prepare to go to the ninth shelter for rescue and defeat the rat king.

The reason why we asked everyone to come here is to gather people to go. Of course, some people with special talents have already been selected by the shelter and must go."

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the crowd became even more tense.

After all, facing such a powerful enemy, no one knows whether this rescue operation will be successful.

But at this moment, Liu Jianjun threw out another tempting condition.
"Of course, we're not letting you go for nothing. As long as the residents voluntarily join the rescue team, they will receive a lot of material rewards."

This offer undoubtedly tempted many people. Although it was full of dangers, the generous material rewards were hard to resist.

Then, some hesitant voices began to emerge among the crowd.

Liu Jianjun then ended the meeting.

Suning was not very interested in these discussions, as his mind had already drifted elsewhere.

She knew that she had to go back as soon as possible to prepare the things she would take with her in order to deal with what might happen next.

Just as she turned around and prepared to leave, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her, "Suning!"

Su Ning stopped and turned around to see Zhang Li staring at him seriously.

Suning couldn't help but feel confused and didn't know why Zhang Li called him.

I also unexpectedly met Zhang Li here.

Zhang Li felt complicated at the moment. Only now did she finally understand how Suning felt living alone before.

Zhang Li didn’t know why she called out to Suning. Maybe it was out of envy, jealousy, or maybe it was out of sympathy?
In this dungeon, their family did not get through it safely like they did in the previous two dungeons. Before returning, Zhang Li was the only one left in the family of three. In order to save her, her parents died at the hands of other players in the [Corpse Hell] dungeon.

Zhang Li looked at Su Ning and wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth. She was very upset and desperately wanted to be comforted, but there was no one she knew around her and no one to talk to, until she saw Su Ning, the person she had always envied and jealous of.

But after calling out to Suning, she didn't know what to say.

Pain and sadness can only be consumed by oneself, and only the heart-wrenching pain can force a person to grow.

After losing her parents, Zhang Li finally realized why she had to compare herself with Suning all the time. But it didn't matter. Now she had to learn from Suning and work hard in the days ahead.

Seeing Zhang Li staring at him.

Suning waved.

Zhang Li woke up from her daze and took a deep breath.

"Will you join this rescue?"

Suning raised an eyebrow "Why do you think so?"

Zhang Li shook her head. "I don't know, but my intuition tells me that you will go."

Suning did not refute that she would indeed go.

Then Zhang Li said resolutely, "I will also join this rescue."

Suning doesn’t understand but respects it.

As if she knew what Suning was thinking, Zhang Li left Suning, but left a last sentence: "I will be alone from now on. It was wrong for me to be sarcastic to you before. You can come to me if you need help."

Su Ning was stunned, looking at Zhang Li who had already gone far away. Her back looked lonely and sad.
"Alone?"
