Lu Jiu clenched her hands. After listening to Shen Jufeng’s words, she had an epiphany in her heart. Whether it was a peaceful society before the end of the world or a game world, evil people will never harm you just because you are kind and want to live a stable life.
Li Aoting agreed with Shen Jufeng, “This is the best solution at present. Blindly soft handling will not deter the other party.”
“That’s true. Don’t let it go if you encounter such a person in the future.”
Shen Jufeng ignored the discussions of others. He knew that everyone was ordinary people before, and they all abided by the law and yearned for peace in their hearts.
And there was a hurdle that many ordinary people would not get over immediately when killing similar people. Himself, when he first subdued You Xiaoyu and others, he never thought of killing them directly.
As for You Xiaoyu’s previous statement that killing players only drops some equipment, Shen Jufeng didn’t believe it. When the woman said this, she didn’t dare to look directly at them, her eyes were dazed, and she was lying.
At that time, he didn’t bother to worry about it.
The people in the room were still discussing, while Yao Bingan was looking at her emails. There was an email from He Ange who passed the position of city lord to her before his death.
She chose to refuse without hesitation at that time.
She didn’t understand why He Ange passed the city lord to her, and she didn’t want to find out the reason.

In the end, everyone went back to their homes quietly. No matter whether the people who escaped from Longjiao City would tell this matter or not, they would insist on keeping it secret anyway.
Lu Jiu was still distracted on the way back. When she was approaching the door, she stopped and said to Shen Jufeng: “I should have killed You Xiaoyu and the others directly. Maybe I should have adapted to this environment immediately from the beginning.”
Shen Jufeng paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and thought for a while, “If you had killed them without hesitation, I would have been surprised.”
Lu Jiu looked at him suspiciously, and Shen Jufeng continued: “You have always been a little naive, but fortunately you still grown up. It can be seen from your reflection on what happened before, but You Xiaoyu and the others are trying to kill players to obtain all the supplies. Their story is a lie, but, indeed, they fought back to kill others. But since you are disgusted with it, you must have understood one thing, those who kill will always kill.”
Lu Jiu had an understanding expression on her face: “But I still regret it very much. I should have made up my mind at that time. I can’t always maintain the mentality of living a peaceful life without others disturbing me.”
She now understood that as a city lord, she must protect her city and her safety from experiencing the baptism of blood.
Fighting against wild monsters was only secondary, fighting with humans was the most important thing to pay attention to.
Shen Jufeng looked at her appearance and chuckled, “I still remember when you first met me. At that time, I remember that you were a little wary, although you tried your best to pretend not to care.”
The two of them made a deal after their initial encounter. After the deal was completed, they felt that each other was good enough to go together.
Shen Jufeng still remembered that Lu Jiu was not so wary of him at first, probably because he already had a career and good skills, and he generously told her all his skills at the time.
Such behavior dispelled part of her wariness. Secondly, Lu Jiu had always had a relatively peaceful mentality of “I won’t mess with you if you won’t mess with me either.”
But the most important reason why they teamed up was that wild monsters appear in groups, and a single wild monster will not appear just because one person was traveling alone.
The normal level was easy to deal with, but what he was worried about at the time was what he would do if he encountered higher-level wild monsters in the future. Could one person deal with them completely?

Half a year ago.
After all the buildings disappeared, they had no place to live. Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng walked aimlessly.
Putting on the clothes produced by the system, their head didn’t feel too hot, despite the scorching sun.
After seeing each other’s skills, Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng began to worry about what they should do now. Lu Jiu thought for a moment and said, “We should go find the public officials.”
This is a decision that every ordinary person makes when they encounter danger or uneasiness.
Shen Jufeng reminded her: “Public officials may not be able to help. You must know that everything that belongs to the earth has disappeared. Now you have to fight monsters with your bare hands. Moreover, as far as you can see, there are trees everywhere. It is difficult to know the way. You need to read the signs, but now they are all gone.”
Lu Jiu was very depressed and downcast: “If we can’t go to the public officials for help, then where are we going to live? Do we still have to cut down trees and build houses ourselves? I don’t know how to do this.”
She can’t do these jobs, nor does she have the relevant knowledge.
When Shen Jufeng heard her talking about building a house, he looked up at the giant tree towering into the clouds. Such a tall and thick tree was difficult to cut down in the past. They didn’t even have the tools now, so don’t even think about it.
“It’s okay, let’s take one step at a time and don’t just stay here.”
Who knows what they were thinking? They felt that they couldn’t stay in the same place forever and had to keep walking. It seemed like an instinct.
On the way, they saw spots of light, and these spots of light became less and less. Lu Jiu did not choose to leave some for others but took them all for herself.
They saw no more colored spots of light after that, aside from the white ones.
In the wild, the most common thing they encountered was the red-eyed rabbit, followed by other types of wild monsters.
During this period, Lu Jiu always thought that Shen Jufeng was a good teammate, but his expression was particularly indifferent when killing wild monsters.
Since they started to go together after the last transaction, they haven’t met anyone else. Until today, they finally saw groups of people. At a rough glance, there were about fifty or sixty people. It seemed that everyone chose to go together.
When these people saw them, they were stopped by a group of more than 20 red-eyed rabbits.
There were fifty or sixty people, but only seven or eight were standing at the front fighting, while the others were hiding behind and unwilling to get close.
Lu Jiu didn’t hesitate and stepped forward to help.
A red-eyed rabbit jumped up to bite the person in front of it but was kicked away by a foot that appeared next to it, causing the wild monster to scream in pain.
Seeing that someone was helping, everyone saw two people coming.
“Thank you.” The frightened uncle thanked her.
Lu Jiu smiled and said: “It’s okay. Let’s get rid of these rabbits quickly.”
Shen Jufeng saw that all his temporary teammates were on board, so he joined in to help.
They were also fighting with bare hands, but Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng dealt more damage, and dozens of red-eyed rabbits were eliminated in a short time.
Because they contributed the most, the reward for killing the rabbit goes into their backpacks.
After finishing the work, the uncle who had been helped by Lu Jiu came forward and said: “Thank you for your help. If it hadn’t been for this little girl, I would have been bitten by that rabbit.”
What was lost after being bitten was HP, which was equivalent to life. They had seen someone disappear after running out of HP.
Lu Jiu just waved her hand, “It’s okay, I just happened to see it.”
Shen Jufeng didn’t speak at the side. He just watched the people behind the uncle who were hiding coming over.
The man walking at the front was an old man. Different from his panicked expression just now, now that all the red-eyed rabbits had been eliminated, he put on a serious expression.
