Xu Fu organized the troops and made preparations for departure, which took a full fifteen days.

I paused the live broadcast once again because there was something more important—the Great Migration.

The underground bunker was originally built nearly a hundred years ago and was already in a dilapidated state. After being damaged by the giant sea shrimp, it could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed daily.

All the survivors eventually decided to migrate inland and seek refuge in another secure underground bunker city.

Although Li Nuo was still alive, he remained unconscious and kept muttering.

People like him were excluded from the migration list, and there were also seven or eight severely injured individuals who couldn't move, and they were all abandoned.

While helping his aunt pack up their meager belongings, she tried to persuade me:

"Ale, try to accept it. This is fate. Even if you bring him along, he won't survive."

I didn't respond, but instead used two pieces of cold scrap metal to alternate and cool down Li Nuo.

Regardless, his high fever gradually subsided, and his wounds showed signs of improvement without any signs of infection.

But Auntie was right. Someone like him couldn't withstand any further hardships.

So I decided to give up joining the others in the Great Migration and stay here.

To take care of Li Nuo and the others.

Furthermore, it would be more convenient to connect with Xu Fu for the live broadcast from here.

The bunker wouldn't collapse immediately; it would take some time!

"...What if Xu Fu and the others fail?" the system couldn't help but ask me.

It had advised me not to be so persistent since the live broadcast it provided was just a source of amusement, never accompanied by any mandatory tasks.

Choosing Xu Fu, choosing to go to war, choosing to change everything were all my own wishful thinking.

"If they fail and Li Nuo dies, can you still leave?" the system asked me again when it saw my silence.

I thought for a moment and replied, "Then let's all die! It's just a matter of time. I don't want to live like this anymore."

Li Nuo furrowed his brow and called out my name, then fell back into a deep sleep.

I touched his forehead and confirmed the temperature.

Yes, if they fail.

Then let's die. After all, in this world, death isn't much scarier than being alive!

On the last night before parting ways, Auntie's granddaughter secretly found me. She knew that I had chosen to stay and asked me to take care of her secretly raised pet.

It was a red fish with two faces on its head, and it looked beautiful!

"So pretty!" I couldn't help but exclaim. I had never seen such a well-behaved and docile marine creature before.

So did those mutated sea monsters used to look this cute?

The little girl placed the small fish tank in my arms and said, "Big Mimi is very well-behaved, Ale. Can you take good care of it for me?"

I patted her head and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

On the first day they left, people began to die.

Almost at the rate of one corpse per day, it continued until the fifth day.

Xu Fu finally contacted me.

They were fully prepared to flatten the island nation!
