"Not a big problem."

After studying carefully, Wang Hao said:

"Purple Gold Mountain is very large, with six routes just for climbing, not to mention the wild paths.

Even if there are lots and lots of monsters, they can't be everywhere.

Additionally, there are many trees on the mountain, and with narrow roads, it's difficult for them to launch a large-scale attack.

If we can hold a choke point, we can even stand our ground against overwhelming odds!"

"Makes sense."

Zhao Hu and the others' eyes lit up.

After going over it in their minds, they felt that Wang Hao made a lot of sense.

"Moreover, we might not be the only ones going up the mountain this time. Besides the Superpower Users, some local small groups might also go up.

Perhaps when the time comes, we may be able to cooperate."

Wang Hao mused.

"Cooperate?"

Upon hearing the word 'cooperate,' Zhao Hu and Yang Tian both frowned.

They had experienced too much treachery and instinctively resisted the idea of collaborating with strangers.

Wang Hao didn't pay them any mind.

He was piloting the drone, trying to get as close to Purple Gold Mountain as possible.

Suddenly, the drone began shaking violently, and the remote control lost signal.

The drone suddenly plummeted from the sky.

"Damn! Did it just crash?"

Wang Hao looked dumbfounded.

What just happened?

Zhao Meng hurried over.

Because of past events, he was always by Li Qian's side. The once sunny boy had turned into a somber youth.

Now, upon hearing about the crash, he couldn't hold back anymore.

After all, the drone was a toy he longed for!

"I don't know what happened, the signal just suddenly disappeared."

Wang Hao handed the remote control to Zhao Meng, saying a bit sullenly, "It must have crashed."

"How could that be? Normally, the signal loss would prompt an automatic return!"

Zhao Meng looked towards Purple Gold Mountain's direction:

"Could someone be using a jamming gun?"

"It's not a jamming gun, a jamming gun wouldn't do this."

Wang Hao gazed at the enormous light pillar, squinting his eyes slightly:

"I suspect it might be related to that energy pillar, possibly strong energy causing magnetic disturbances or something."

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other with serious expressions.

The crash of the drone was not a good thing for them.

They lost their aerial view, significantly increasing the danger.

"Let's go find a place to rest and analyze the photos."

Wang Hao took the remote control back from Zhao Meng's hand.

He had taken a lot of pictures earlier and needed to find a place to sit down and study them well.

After traveling all this way, they needed some rest.

Besides, there were still six days until the prompted time.

They weren't in a hurry to climb the mountain.

They found a civilian house, cleared the broken bodies inside, and moved in.

Wang Hao and the others studied the photos, planning the subsequent route up the mountain.

Meanwhile, Wang Han and Li Qian were in charge of cleaning.

The house had been uninhabited for a long time, with a thick layer of dust accumulated.

"Things like this are actually nothing, you get used to it,"

Wang Han suddenly spoke as they cleaned.

Li Qian's body trembled slightly.

Clearly, Wang Han was trying to comfort her.

After all, it was her first time.

However, Wang Han was thinking too much.

She had long stopped caring about her first experience.

"Do you find this kind of living meaningful?"

Li Qian paused and looked at Wang Han.

If she were Wang Han, she would rather be dead.

In fact, if it wasn't for avenging her parents, she would have wanted to die long ago.

This hellish world – being alive was worse than being dead.

Wang Han was also slightly taken aback, then revealed a bitter smile:

"I know, you probably think I'm shameless, without dignity, even disgusting, but I want to live, is that wrong?

You probably haven't starved much, and Zhao Meng protected you well. You might not have experienced that feeling of nearing death; it's really terrifying."

Li Qian remained silent.

The apocalypse indeed hadn't harmed her that much.

She stayed at home where her father had stockpiled supplies, so she never lacked food or water.

Later, the Zhao brothers destroyed all of that, but with Zhao Meng's protection, she never suffered much hardship.

She lived even safer and more comfortably.

"I previously attempted suicide, feeling that life was meaningless.

I jumped off a building, and within seconds, I regretted it; various scenes flashed through my mind; I was terrified.

That time Tang Rui turned into a bat and saved me; I was so scared my entire body went limp and I even wet my pants."

Saying this, a sharp gleam flashed in Wang Han's eyes:

"From that moment on, I told myself that I must live on, no matter how hard or bitter it would be, even if I have to give up everything, I must survive."

Li Qian sighed softly in her heart.

Indeed, everyone has their own story!

All those women struggling desperately in the Phoenix Pavilion, aren't they fighting for life too?

Wang Han looked at Li Qian and said earnestly:

"Your current life is what countless people dream of; Zhao Meng sees you as a goddess. Even if you were tainted, he stands by you unwaveringly.

You should cherish it."

Only a woman truly understands another woman.

Reflecting on it, Wang Han felt that if she were Li Qian, she surely would have sought revenge against Zhao Hu.

Of course, she wasn't some self-righteous busybody.

She wanted to establish a good rapport.

Li Qian's status in the group was still very high, mostly due to Zhao Meng being her devoted admirer.

Zhao Hu felt some guilt towards her for having violated her.

Then there was Wang Hao, who seemed to have a good relationship with them.

Yang Tian, the pervert, was not reliable at all.

Wang Han thought that perhaps this good rapport might save her life one day.

Li Qian was now, apart from Yang Tian, the only person she could interact with.

"Don't you want to go with Tang Rui?"

Li Qian asked curiously.

It was a question in her heart.

Tang Rui's power was far greater than Zhao Meng's.

But Li Qian seemed not to care about Tang Rui at all, nor showed any intent to follow him.

There were actually opportunities for her to escape before.

For instance, she could have jumped out the window while Yang Tian was asleep.

Even when going to the bathroom, it was possible.

Tang Rui might be observing nearby, and chances were he could save her.

Even when Yang Tian and Zhao Hu left before, while Wang Hao carried her, she held onto Wang Hao tightly instead of trying to escape.

She clearly remembered, at that time they passed a small alley with many forks.

It was a perfect escape opportunity.

If she had run, Wang Hao might not have chased her.

No! Knowing Wang Hao's character, he definitely wouldn't have chased her.

Yet she didn't, not only did she not escape, but she also held Wang Hao tightly.
