Chuzheng was a bit surprised by the considerable progress this time; it seems plucking a sheep was the right move!

"All residents, please proceed to the third safe zone for shelter."
"All residents, please proceed to the third safe zone for shelter."
"All residents..."
Chuzheng hadn’t even opened her eyes yet, and the first thing she heard was this kind of announcement. She felt herself being pushed forward.
When Chuzheng opened her eyes, all she saw were countless heads, all rushing in one direction.
She was swept along with the crowd; standing still would only result in being trampled.
But...
What the hell is this place?
A grand escape?
Chuzheng’s gaze swept around. The buildings here completely ignored gravity, constructed haphazardly, with people even moving above...
Newton’s coffin lid can’t hold it anymore!
Chuzheng was forced to run down with this crowd all the way, eventually entering a gigantic space.
As far as Chuzheng’s eye could see, it was all people...
So terrifying!
"Move further inside!"
"Don’t block the entrance; hurry up, everyone move faster."
"What are you doing over there! Everyone move inside, can’t you hear?"
Someone was maintaining order at the entrance, yelling at anyone standing still.
Thanks to her small stature, Chuzheng quickly made her way to a corner, finding a relatively spacious and safe spot.
-
This is still Blue Star, but it’s a mutated Blue Star where everyone now lives underground, not on the surface.
The surface is filled with toxic gases, uninhabitable for humans.
The original owner... was an alien.
Yes, that’s right, she wasn’t human.
The original owner was a princess of a certain race from a certain galaxy.
After reaching adulthood, the original owner and her siblings faced a test for the succession of the ’throne.’
Whether the original owner wanted to participate or not, she had to.
Otherwise, she would face slaughter once others rose to power.
The test was to conquer a planet in the shortest time possible.
Two people per planet, but not in collaboration, they were competitors.
The one who captured and conquered the planet first and returned to the home planet before others was the ultimate winner.
Each planet was selected and wouldn’t differ greatly.
But for some reason, the original owner drew Blue Star.
Accompanying her was her fifth sister.
In the original owner’s race, emotions didn’t exist.
Their sisterly relationship was only maintained by a shred of kinship.
Blue Star, marked as a resource planet, turned out to be completely different when the original owner arrived after a long journey.
The original owner realized she had been set up.
More unexpectedly, her sister attacked her as soon as it began.
The spaceship was attacked, the original owner was injured, and lost her memory.
The original owner’s appearance was indistinguishable from humans; she was rescued and lived in the Underground City for a while.
The original owner met a boy in the Underground City.
With the boy’s company, the original owner gradually understood feelings.
She fell in love with the boy.
At this moment, people sent by her fifth sister found her. Not knowing why she was being hunted, the original owner could only flee.
Her fifth sister’s influence had deeply infiltrated over time.
No matter where the original owner fled, she would be discovered and pursued.
During these pursuits, the original owner vaguely remembered some things and told the boy that those people wanted to invade this planet.
To let the boy survive, she risked exposing herself to danger.
Unexpectedly, the boy betrayed her in the end.
-
Chuzheng finished processing the memories and exhaled slowly.
She looked up to find that the once seemingly spacious area was now almost fully occupied, with various smells mingling unpleasantly in the air.
The entrance she came through was now closed, guarded by people.
Those people wore uniform attire and wielded advanced weapons, driving away the troublemakers at the front.
They were the guards of the Underground City.
Joining the Guard Team in the Underground City was akin to being a government officer in the old world.
In this timeline, the original owner had already lived in the Underground City for some time.
This evacuation was due to operational problems in the city, with the risk of surface toxic gas seeping in.
Chuzheng looked outside.
The place was teeming with heads, with men, women, and children all huddled together.
"Have you seen my Xiao Bao?" someone called out anxiously, squeezing through the crowd.
"Why are you pushing!!" someone else shouted angrily, unhappy.
"Where the hell are you touching, trying to die, huh?" a fierce girl shouted at a sleazy young man beside her.
"I picked this up; why are you saying it’s yours?" Others were still quarreling over trivial gains.
Chuzheng only thought it was unbearably noisy.
She shrank back, leaning against a cold metal object, coldly observing everyone.
As time passed, people grew too tired to argue and found places to sit down.
Due to limited space, Chuzheng’s corner spot was particularly coveted.
"Get the hell out."
A muscular man pushed through the crowd, menacingly driving people away.
Chuzheng leaned against the wall, arms crossed, coldly watching him without a word.
The others, seeing his muscular build and aggressive demeanor, wisely stepped aside.
"Little girl, you’re not leaving? Waiting for me to fuck you?" The muscular man’s eyes fell on Chuzheng, speaking crudely, though his gaze held no real desire, only the intention of scaring Chuzheng away.
"Your name isn’t written here."
The muscular man, surprised by her lack of fear, glared and roared, "You looking for a beating?"
"Try it." Chuzheng’s tone was icy.
The muscular man felt provoked, his nostrils flaring, and rolled up his sleeves, advancing aggressively.
He swung his fist toward her.
Chuzheng lifted her hand, a few silver coins pinched between her fingers.
The man’s fist instantly hesitated.
The girl holding the silver coins looked indifferent, her voice even colder: "Don’t bother me."
The muscular man: "..."
The muscular man: "Don’t think you can humiliate me with money!"
Chuzheng pulled out another handful.
The muscular man: "..."
Well, he’ll grudgingly let her insult him then.
The muscular man very shamelessly took the silver coins.
Paper currency was no longer used; the main currency was a string of numbers stored on residents’ ID cards, which could be directly swiped when needed.
These silver coins were scarce money, infused with energy, frequently needed in various places.
Underground City residents saved most of their money to buy these silver coins to keep daily living equipment running.
—Many of the city’s devices relied on the energy from these silver coins for operation.
Five silver coins were roughly enough to support a family of three for a month.
Residents often could only exchange for one silver coin a month.
Because this stuff was really rare, you couldn’t just exchange it whenever you wanted.
