Perhaps because of her previous act of saving lives, no one has bothered her these past two days.

During the day, everyone stays indoors, waiting to come out and be active at night.

Many people still haven't given up on leaving.

The network was completely paralyzed for the past few days.

Although Shi Jinwei didn't go out, she could tell from the neighbors' conversations that things weren't peaceful outside.

Most of her neighbors had left, leaving only about seven or eight households.

The family of the little girl rescued by Shi Jinwei also left yesterday.

After the fire, they brought their children to knock on the door to express their gratitude, but Shi Jinwei did not open the door.

They came to say goodbye again when they left yesterday morning.

They even said that if Shi Jinwei wanted to leave, they were willing to take her with them and give her the most comfortable seat in the car.

Shi Jinwei refused again, but then she saw the little girl.

The first time I saw the child I had rescued, she was a little girl of four or five years old.

He was wearing a sun hat and was very thin; I wonder if it was because of food and water shortages.

Unaware of what had happened at the adults' house, her eyes lit up when she saw the pretty and clean Shi Jinwei, and she immediately called out "Sister" in a clear voice.

Shi Jinwei paused, then squatted down in front of her, looking at the sweetly smiling girl.

Uncharacteristically, I softened and took out a lollipop from my storage space and handed it to her.

Despite her young age, the little girl knew that times were tough these days. She shook her head and pushed the candy back to her, saying, "Sister, you can have this."

She was so obedient that Shi Jinwei couldn't resist patting her head.

Then, with the girl's bright eyes in mind, he put the candy back into her hand.

The three adults were embarrassed and also refused.

Shi Jinwei replied, "I'm doing this for the little girl. You've taught her very well; she's very well-behaved."

The three of them were stunned. The old lady finally couldn't hold back her tears and wanted to kneel down to Shi Jinwei.

But she stopped him: "Let's get going as soon as possible."

They didn't know, but she did; their departure was almost certainly a death sentence. But she wouldn't stop others from making their choices.

On the twenty-second day of the game, the temperature rose again, reaching nearly 63 degrees Celsius at noon.

The temperature was so high that everyone was forced to stay indoors and barely survive, except for Shi Jinwei.

We've run out of liquid nitrogen, so we're using dry ice now.

Dry ice has a much higher temperature than liquid nitrogen and is consumed much faster.

By the twenty-fifth day, the dry ice was completely used up, but most of the ice in the basement still hadn't melted.

Shi Jinwei decided to move directly to the basement.

The basement was damp because of the water that had accumulated from the melting ice.

But compared to the suffocating heat, this is still bearable.

Shi Jinwei placed the folding bed in the corner and took out a camping lamp to hang overhead.

After working for more than twenty consecutive days, I don't have much gasoline left.

Shi Jinwei has a lot of space, but she decides to save as much as possible.

The temperature in the basement is currently around -5 degrees Celsius. When it exceeds 20 degrees Celsius, she turns on the fan.

The fan's power is much smaller than the air conditioner's, so the remaining gasoline should last for about two or three days.

But tonight, another group of uninvited guests arrived outside.

Shi Jinwei was half asleep when she heard a loud knocking on the front door.

She got dressed and climbed out, only to be greeted by a wave of heat as soon as she opened the door.

When she climbed out, she saw that the security door was already on the verge of collapse, and it was clear that the outer door had been completely destroyed.

Shi Jinwei was startled: "Who?"

A somewhat familiar female voice came from outside: "Little sister, open the door, or you won't be able to keep this door from closing either."

The voice sounded quite pleasant, but Shi Jinwei became even more cautious.

The other party clearly knew her background, and she had absolutely no recollection of the voice.

Shi Jinwei's palms were sweating, but she still pretended to be calm and opened the door.

A familiar-looking girl was standing outside the door, and behind her was a group of thugs.

Shi Jinwei looked them over carefully, but didn't recognize any of them.

But looking at those colorful hairs, I immediately made a guess.

They must be one of that fat man's men.

They're quite loyal; they even dared to come and avenge their elder brother.

Her gaze turned cold as she turned to the woman: "Player?"

The reason I asked this question is because I was 80% certain.

As for the remaining 20%, if it's not, the other party won't understand what she's saying anyway, so what's there to be afraid of?

The girl was none other than the one who reminded her to "be careful" on the roadside on the first day of the game.

A look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Previously, the girl seemed gentle and lovely.

But now she is alluring and seductive, with a completely different temperament.

Can a person change so much in just a few days?

After asking the question, the woman laughed again: "You're really perceptive."

The woman's movements and expressions seemed somewhat familiar, but she was certain she didn't recognize her at all: "What brings you here?"

It was over 50 degrees Celsius outside at night, and Shi Jinwei felt very uncomfortable, so she wanted to go straight back to the basement.

"A collaboration?" the woman asked.

Shi Jinwei refused outright: "No."

I'm quite comfortable being alone right now, so why would I need to team up with someone?

Seemingly anticipating her refusal, he said nothing and instead looked back.

When the thug caught the woman's gaze, he had no choice but to step forward and explain, "This lady was hired by Fatty's sister to deal with you."

The woman was pleased with her underling's tact: "That woman is a brother-obsessed person. She's been planning revenge ever since she found out someone was dead. Besides me, she's hired quite a few other people. If you're alone, you'll have a hard time dealing with this."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jinwei finally couldn't hold back any longer: "What's his sister's background?"

Everyone's dead. My underlings killed them all last time too.

Now another older sister has appeared, is this never going to end?

Does the game's setting have to be this outrageous?

"The mistress of a high-ranking official," a female player kindly added from the side.

Shi Jinwei: "..."

That was a truly unexpected answer.

It's impossible for me to get her to agree to join a team.

She asked the woman directly, "Do you want to fight me?"

Seeing her directness, the other person paused for a moment, then shook their head: "Not interested."

"Okay, go back and tell him I moved, and he can't find me." After she finished speaking, she tried to close the door and go home.

But the thug hesitated: "Sister, no, you have neighbors around. If she sends someone over, they'll find out as soon as they ask."

Shi Jinwei nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and then closed the door again.

She thought she could survive with five days left in the game, but this damn game wasn't going to let her have her way.

She went into the basement to pack her things.

About half of the ice had melted, and there was enough left for Shi Jinwei to last until she cleared the game.
