The night concealed all traces, and Yan Yan sprinted along the isolation wall at the edge of the city, with the d Zone just beyond it. In the year 555 of the new calendar, Huaguo was divided into Five Major Districts, with the aBde Five Major Districts and the S District, also known as the Source Area, which had a living environment similar to that of Huaguo four years ago.
Before the incident, the Yan Family was merely a wealthy family at the end of the S Zone. However, even at the lower end, in terms of the S Zone, they represented a symbol of financial power and influence.
The Yan Sisters, who had always lived in comfort, found themselves in dire straits. Their predicament was exacerbated by their lack of experience with hardship, making their situation even more challenging.
Area A was home to the Elite, featuring a beautiful ecological environment with rich vegetation and fresh air. It was where figures from centers of power resided. The S Zone housed most wealthy individuals, while the area designated for ordinary people was known as the Civilian District, primarily consisting of average families. The former Zone Three was within a government-protected area, safe and orderly, with well-maintained public facilities suitable for living.
On the other side of the wall lay the d Zone, a slum and den of vice. Apart from the d Zone, rumors suggested that the S District and E Zone were worlds apart—one a paradise and the other a hell. The E Zone served as an unregulated exile zone filled with crime, violence, and bloodshed. It had been abandoned by both government and citizens, becoming a forsaken land devoid of hope.
The S District retained its living conditions from four years ago. Living in this time, Yan Yan had no idea what it truly looked like inside; she had only heard that its ecology was primitive and that even the air and water quality were at S Level. It boasted native fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish, and meat—without Nutritional Supplements or artificially synthesized food—free from competition and darkness; it was a place filled with hope. It was said that the environment of Zero Point Game was modeled after the S District. If that were true—
Yan Yan recalled her past life’s game: blue skies dotted with white clouds, lush mountains and clear waters, abundant resources—all completely pure and untainted.
Most ordinary people were unaware of the existence of the S District; in their perception, Area A stood at the pinnacle of society. In her previous life, Yan Yan had learned about it purely by chance. The Zero Point Game was an imitation of the S District... If what she had discovered was accurate, then Zero Point would become humanity's Second World in the future—a realm free from constraints where souls could exist eternally.
Ten minutes later, the Quarantine Network finally began to reboot—just ten seconds into this reboot!
Yan Yan seized this loophole that reopened every three hours and entered the d Zone.
Three hours later, when Yan Yan returned to the Quarantine Network again, she passed through in the same manner as before. The difference this time was that she held a chip in her hand that determined Liu Yufeng's family's fate.
Following information from her past life, she dialed several communication numbers consecutively.
Time ticked away second by second.
By the time she finished relaying all her information, her Account's secret deposit transferred by Strict Father had been completely exhausted; dawn had already broken.
When Strict Language woke up from her slumber, she found her sister sitting at her bedside. The calm beauty gazed at her as she awoke, a faint smile gracing her lips.
“Yan Yan, there are bloodshot veins in your eyes, and those dark circles are heavy. Did you not sleep last night?”
“Sister, you should quit your job at the restaurant—” Yan Yan's words were interrupted by Strict Language.
“Yan Yan, what did you do last night?”
No one knows her better than her sister. A warm feeling flashed in Yan Yan's eyes as she looked at the stern face of Strict Language and said, “Sister, I didn’t go out last night. I just contacted Uncle Li to help resolve the forged debt issue. The call took a while, and then I couldn’t sleep. As for Liu Yufeng, Uncle Li will handle that too. So, sister, please quit your job and go to Area A’s S Research Institute for treatment, okay?”
After calmly finishing her sentence, Yan Yan stared intently at Strict Language, hoping she would trust her.
All she wanted was for Strict Language to live healthily for the rest of her life.
With that thought, she discreetly held Strict Language's hand and continued, “Sister, when I contacted Uncle Li last night, he said he was temporarily safe. He has reached out to some people who can help us resolve our current predicament. Just rest at home for a couple of days, and news will come; it will definitely be good news.”
She emphasized the way she contacted Uncle Li while secretly observing Strict Language’s expression. Seeing her sister deep in thought yet understanding made her heart swell with emotion; indeed, no one understood her better than her sister.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you this time. But no next time, do you hear me?” After saying this, Strict Language shot a glance at Yan Yan with her captivating autumn-like eyes.
Hearing Strict Language's response, Yan Yan felt a sudden sense of relief.
The two sisters tacitly moved past the matter. Strict Language quit her job and severed ties with Liu Yufeng's family. After resting at home for two days, just before the Zero Point Open Beta began, an inconspicuous news segment aired on television. However, both Yan Yan and Strict Language knew that this was the news they had been waiting for.
“Ji Yang, a wealthy businessman from S Zone, is under investigation for commercial fraud and bribery; his company has been ordered to cease operations for half a month.”
“The Liu and Yan families are suspected of participating in Ji Yang's illegal transactions and are also implicated in the murder of Yan and his wife. They have been sentenced to lifelong exile in E Zone.”
Seeing the news about Ji Yang, Yan Yan remained indifferent. After all, her current strength was insufficient, and letting him suffer a setback would only delay the situation. Before Ji Yang took action, she had to send Strict Language to the research institute for treatment.
As for Liu Yufeng and Yan Siming, after being sued, all their assets had been confiscated. The compensation that belonged to the two sisters had been notarized and returned to them. Part of it had already been given to Uncle Li for his errands. Yan Yan had also sold the house that the Yan Family owned in S Zone.
Thinking about it, she felt a sense of satisfaction recalling the scene of Yan Siming and Liu Yufeng being driven out of the villa. Watching them cry and plead was reminiscent of how she and Strict Language had once cried and begged them in a past life; in the end, they were now kneeling and begging her.
With this thought in mind, Yan Yan looked at Strict Language, who was cleaning the house, her eyes downcast. The remaining compensation was not enough to cover Strict Language's medical expenses. Even with the money from selling the house, it only solved an immediate problem. She needed to hurry to Zero Point to make some money.
After silently calculating for a moment, Yan Yan stood up and walked to the door. After changing her shoes, she said to Strict Language:
"Sister, I'm going to buy a Game Helmet at the Zero Point Game helmet outlet. This way you can play games with me. Even if you're in Area A and we can't meet often, we can still see each other in the game. The game will have its public test tomorrow night at 8 PM; you can check out the game information online."
"Okay, Yan Yan. Be careful on your way out. When you come back, remember to pick up the Nutritional Supplement," Strict Language replied.
Previously, Strict Language had always been the one to collect the Nutritional Supplement. Since Yan Yan wouldn’t let her go out this time, she had no choice but to let Yan Yan handle it.
"Got it."
For those in the area, the only benefit better than D Zone was that every three Nutritional Supplements could be collected. This was also the government's last safety net—to ensure that no one would starve to death.
