Robin already had her own plans for the meteorite fragment, but she still tossed it back into Sevyn’s arms with a look of disdain. “What is this? It’s just a rock. At most, it’s got a weird shape. How about this? If you give me a few zombie crystal cores, I’ll agree to save your wife and kid. Deal?”
Sevyn’s face immediately lit up. “Yes! Absolutely! As long as you’re willing to help, I’ll do whatever you ask!”
When Robin turned to leave, Sevyn hurried after her and pushed the meteorite fragment back toward her, afraid she might refuse it. “Miss, I don’t have many zombie crystal cores on me right now, but I promise I won’t go back on my word. Please take this stone first. I’ll definitely make up the crystal cores later!”
At this point, the issue wasn’t whether Robin wanted the meteorite fragment.
It was that he desperately wanted her to accept it.
Because he was the one asking for help. If she accepted his payment, it meant she had agreed to help.
Looking at the meteorite fragment practically being delivered into her hands, Robin couldn’t stop a satisfied smile, though she quickly suppressed it.
“Fine, fine.”
She accepted the fragment as though she were doing him a favor. “Lead the way.”
Sevyn nodded excitedly. “Right, right. My wife and son are about 300 feet ahead. There’s a medium–sized shopping mall there. It’s not just my family trapped underneath. There are other people buried there.”
Robin glanced at him. “So, I’m supposed to save more than two people?”
Sevyn’s face turned red in an instant. “I…”
He forced himself to continue. “My wife and son are obviously the most important, but if possible, I hope you can also save the others. They’re all trapped in the same area…”
Ella immediately saw through him. “You’re thinking that since they’re all buried together, saving a whole
isn’t much extra effort if we can save two people, right?” group
“I… Sevyn stammered and fell silent.
So that was the future business tycoon. Apparently, Sevyn’s merchant instincts had already started showing themselves even now.
Robin laughed. “Relax. You don’t need to explain. Since we agreed to help, we’ll definitely save your wife and child. As for the others, that depends on their own luck.
The joy on Sevyn’s face had barely appeared before Robin turned back and added coolly, “But I prefer dealing with honest people. I don’t like being manipulated. So next time, skip the word games.”
Sevyn froze before nodding vigorously. “Yes, yes! That was my mistake. I didn’t consider this properly. I’ll reflect on it. I promise it won’t happen again!”
Robin didn’t respond and just said, “Let’s go. Show us the way.”
“Right away!”

Sevyn couldn’t wait another second. He hurried ahead while Robin and the others followed behind. Soon, they arrived at a massive field of collapsed rubble.
“It’s here…”
Grief washed over Sevyn as he shouted, “Lydia! Ryan! Can you hear me?!
“I brought people to rescue you! Hang in there! Don’t fall asleep!”
The ruins had once been a large shopping mall. The more magnificent it had been before, the more tragic it looked now.
Broken concrete and chunks of debris were piled everywhere. Dust still lingered in the air, refusing to settle completely.
Finding survivors buried somewhere beneath such an enormous pile of rubble would have been incredibly difficult even before the apocalypse, when advanced equipment was readily available.
Now they had nothing.
”
Meanwhile, the people trapped underneath were fighting for their lives every second.
