While Lin Lang and Leng Wei were sharing a quiet and sweet moment in the study!

Xingfu District!

Downstairs!

A group of beggars from the Low-Cost Housing District, clothed in rags, faced hunger and thinness!

Their eyes were filled with helplessness and despair.

Once again, they set off towards Lin Lang’s residence.

This time, their aim remained the same—to obtain the supplies that could sustain life.

Since receiving help from Lin Lang last time, they viewed him as their only hope!

Despite knowing that such supplication was not a long-term solution.

But in the apocalypse!

One should live day by day!

Why think so much?

"Great benefactor, please give us some supplies! We really have nothing left!"

An elderly beggar, his voice trembling, eyes shimmering with a pleading light.

He looked especially pitiful!

However!

At the entrance of Xingfu District, Zhang Dabin stood there!

His eyes were firm and stern!

Lin Lang had previously hinted to him—

If these beggars dared to come again!

There was no need to be polite to them anymore!

Although the supplies they wanted were a mere drop in the bucket for Xingfu District!

But these people!

Were insatiable ingrates!

Lin Lang had previously suggested that they could exchange labor for supplies, just like other residents of Xingfu District!

But these people!

Only ever thought of getting something for nothing every day!

They simply refused to work!

Such unconditional giving would only cheapen this kindness!

Therefore!

When the beggars made their request again, he refused without hesitation:

"You can’t disturb here anymore! Lin Lang has already given you a chance, it was you who chose to give it up."

Zhang Dabin’s voice was firm!

Upon hearing this, the beggars displayed expressions of anger and disappointment.

They began to curse Lin Lang, accusing him of lacking compassion, even attempting moral coercion to make Lin Lang help again:

"Lin Lang! How can you be so heartless? You clearly have the ability to help us but choose to ignore!"

A young beggar, his voice full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

"He’s just a hypocrite! Pretending to care but not at all concerned about our survival!"

Another beggar added, his tone filled with disappointment and anger towards Lin Lang.

Facing the beggars’ accusations and curses!

Zhang Dabin felt a surge of anger burn within him!

He took a deep breath to calm himself, then said:

"You can’t always rely on others! Lin Lang has done enough for you!"

"Now, you should stand up and seek your own lives!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The beggars, hearing this, grew even more furious.

They redirected their hostility towards Zhang Dabin, attempting to force him to comply:

"You cold-blooded creature! What right do you have to stop us from seeking Lin Lang for help?"

"I see that Lin Lang is willing to help us, it’s you causing trouble, sowing discord between us!"

"Yeah! We want to reason with Lin Lang! Let him come out!"

"How could he treat us like this?"

However!

Zhang Dabin was not frightened by their threats.

He stood firm where he was, using his body to block the way of the beggars, frowning:

"I won’t let you through! Lin Lang is busy with important matters! You cannot disturb him!"

"If you dare to break in!"

"Don’t blame me for being rude!"

Zhang Dabin shouted!

At this moment!

Some Superpower Users from Xingfu District heard the commotion and came over voluntarily!

Seeing it was these beggars again!

They all wore expressions of impatience:

"These people really don’t let up!"

"Where in the world did Lin Lang provoke this bunch of pests?"

"Why don’t we just kill them!"

...

Meanwhile!

In Lin Lang and Leng Wei’s study, the serenity and sweetness continued.

They seemed to be in another world!

Isolated from the world, focusing only on each other!

They knew nothing of the commotion downstairs!

Nor did they need to know.

...

"What?! You’re even thinking of killing?!"

Hearing those words!

The people from the Low-Cost Housing District, their emotions flared up like being ignited!

Anger and dissatisfaction spread among them:

"You cold-blooded animals! Clearly, you have the ability but refuse to help us, truly heartless!"

A beggar shouted angrily, his voice sharp and piercing from agitation.

"Hmph, don’t think we’ll just let it go! Watch and see, one day you’ll regret this!"

"By then, let’s see how you end things!"

Another beggar added, his eyes full of malice and threat.

Facing such meaningless threats!

Zhang Dabin furrowed his brows, his voice deep:

"If you don’t leave, I really won’t be polite. Lin Lang has done enough for you, you can’t always rely on others."

Obviously!

He was truly angry!

The beggars, hearing this, showed fear on their faces!

But immediately!

It was replaced by anger:

"You think you can scare us like this? What a joke!"

"Don’t underestimate the people from the Low-Cost Housing District!"

"We may be poor, but we have ways to deal with you rich folks!"

"Yeah! Just wait!"

They continued to verbally attack Zhang Dabin:

"You lapdogs! What do you gain by working for that hypocrite Lin Lang? He’s just using you!"

"Exactly! He doesn’t care about our lives, only his own interests! You fools defending him, laughable!"

Another beggar added!

His tone filled with hatred and disdain towards Lin Lang.

Completely forgetting that Lin Lang was their benefactor!

Zhang Dabin shouted in anger:

"You really are asking for it!"

He then made a move as if to take action!

Seeing this!

The beggars scattered in an uproar!

Zhang Dabin shook his head helplessly.

And then went back.

...

At this moment!

Not far from Xingfu District!

Zhuo Yifei and Zhu Yu returned from hunting!

These two young men, under the sunlight, looked exceptionally upright!

Full of vigor!

Zhuo Yifei wore a dark green hunting outfit, adorned with patterns of leaves and vines, as if merged with nature.

His hair was wet with sweat, sticking to his forehead, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, filled with joy.

On his shoulder was slung a bow and arrow!

In the quiver, a few unshot arrows remained!

Glimmering coldly—

All crafted by He Gong!

At present, He Gong!

Had established a workshop focused on crafting weapons!

...

And Zhu Yu wore a brown leather armor, covered in scratches and signs of wear, having clearly weathered many hardships.

He held a rabbit as large as a wild boar in his arms.

The rabbit still bled fresh blood!

Clearly just dead!

The rabbit was heavy, Zhu Yu struggled slightly!

Yet a proud smile filled his face, his eyes brimming with a sense of accomplishment.

Zhuo Yifei and Zhu Yu chatted as they walked, their voices full of energy and passion:

"This hunt went so well! We not only caught so many animals but also honed our skills!"

Zhuo Yifei said excitedly.

"Yes! Thanks to Lin Lang and Teacher Da Bin’s guidance and teaching! We now have a stable food source and have learned how to survive the apocalypse!"

Zhu Yu agreed, his tone filled with gratitude and admiration for Lin Lang.

They reached the gate of Xingfu District!

And happened upon those beggars.
