This is your home

Yu Nian took Wang Xinxia's hand and said, "Sister Xin Xia, come with us. Staying here is not a long-term solution."

Wang Xinxia looked back at the woman and her younger brother and sister, but ultimately shook her head.

Thinking of the past, the woman was already streaming with tears.

The woman got off the bed, came to Wang Xinxia's side, and said with a choked voice, "Xin Xia, just go with them. We are all burdens that will drag you down sooner or later. Just go with them."

"Only by following them can you live a good life. Now that the revenge for your father and brother has been taken, we can go down and see your father. These people are our benefactors. You should stay by their side and repay them well. Be a good girl, listen to me!"

"No, I won't!"

Wang Xinxia threw herself into the woman's arms and cried, "I won't, Mom, I won't! I don't want to leave you!"

Ye Chen and Yu Nian exchanged glances, and Yu Nian gave a bitter smile.

Lin Nuoyi also stepped forward and said to the two of them, "You have misunderstood us. That's not what we meant; we meant that you should all come with us."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinxia and the woman raised their heads, looking somewhat puzzled.

Yu Nian said gently, "It's like this: we have established a Safe Zone nearby. There are many ordinary people inside, and many Pet Masters from our Star Alliance are guarding it. It's very safe, and there are all kinds of supplies. There are also many teenagers there receiving training, preparing to summon their pets when they turn eighteen."

Wang Xinxia suddenly perked up, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "Sister Yu Nian, is what you said true?"

"Of course!" Yu Nian smiled gently.

A look of hope also flickered in the woman's eyes.

After all, with a Safe Zone and people to protect them, who would want to stay in this dark, sunless basement?

Yu Nian checked the time and said, "Ye Chen, it's already four in the afternoon. Shall we head back directly?"

Ye Chen nodded with a smile. Naturally, he fully supported Yu Nian's kind gesture.

They took Wang Xinxia and the others out of the basement and came outside.

The woman and the two children were still a bit unaccustomed to the sunlight they hadn't seen for a long time, and they subconsciously squinted their eyes.

After a long while, the three of them slowly adjusted.

The boy's name was Wang Hao, and the girl's name was Wang Qian.

As the Vice Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance, Zhu Qiang put his arm around Wang Hao's shoulder and told him about the Safe Zone.

Wang Qian followed along, listening quietly.

Both of them were very much looking forward to the Star Alliance that Zhu Qiang described.

Perhaps out of shyness, or perhaps due to the pressure of being in the presence of a strong person, Wang Hao asked timidly, "Zhu Qiang, can you tell me about how you wiped out the Azure Alliance?"

"Of course, no problem!" Zhu Qiang said heroically, speaking eloquently to Wang Hao.

Of course, he couldn't avoid adding some embellishments, portraying himself as incredibly awesome, as if the Azure Alliance couldn't have been defeated without him.

It was as if he had saved the world in a moment of crisis and turned the tide from a desperate situation.

Listening to Zhu Qiang's account, Wang Hao's eyes shone with light, filled with admiration.

"Zhu Qiang, in the future, I also want to become a Pet Master like you!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Qiang laughed proudly and said, "Sure, work hard. When we get back, I'll have you join the Battle Preparation Army and receive the best training. Once you're in, just mention my name, Zhu Qiang. I'm the Vice Alliance Leader, after all! Just say you're my younger brother, and I guarantee no one will dare to bully you!"

"Thank you, Zhu Qiang! From now on, you are my own brother!" Wang Hao said, somewhat moved.

Yu Nian and Ye Chen walked at the very back, a look of envy in Yu Nian's eyes.

Ye Chen noticed that Yu Nian seemed a bit sad.

"Missing your family?"

Yu Nian's eyes turned a bit red, and she nodded.

Ye Chen didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only pat Yu Nian's shoulder and say softly, "Don't think about it too much. From now on, the Star Alliance is your home, and we are all your family."

Yu Nian forced a smile and wiped away the tears that were about to fall.

Yu Nian suddenly took Ye Chen's hand. Ye Chen was slightly stunned, but he didn't make any move.

In no time, they arrived outside the gate of the Safe Zone.

Wang Hao looked at the magnificent city wall, feeling very shocked inside.

"Is, is this the Safe Zone?"

Zhu Qiang puffed out his chest and laughed, "That's right, this is our Safe Zone. How is it? Isn't it imposing?"

Wang Hao nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining.

Six people were standing at the entrance. Three were holding long spears, and the other three had hunting crossbows on their backs. They were all wearing uniform military combat gear.

As Zhu Qiang brought Wang Hao past them, the six people immediately saluted and shouted respectfully, "Greetings, Vice Alliance Leader Zhu!"

The smile on Zhu Qiang's face grew even wider. He smiled and nodded at the six of them, saying, "Good, good, good."

As Yu Nian, Ye Chen, and the others entered, the six people greeted them one by one.

These six were all members of the Star Alliance, and people took turns guarding the gate every day.

Ye Chen looked at Lin Nuoyi, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "How did you manage to unify the uniforms so quickly?"

Lin Nuoyi said with a bit of feigned arrogance, "Of course! We are, after all, a formal army. I had Yang Ming and the others collect these clothes, and they even have bulletproof vests inside!"

"We are a formal army, so of course we need uniform clothing. Furthermore, they are all wearing a set of two-star Advanced defensive gear, which I collected piece by piece from all the members. However, there are only six sets, so I have the guards take turns wearing them every day."

Ye Chen gave Lin Nuoyi a thumbs up and said, "Impressive!"

As expected, Lin Nuoyi had a great talent for management.

Wang Xinxia came to Yu Nian and asked somewhat shyly, "Sister Yu Nian, where, where will we live?"

Yu Nian looked at Lin Nuoyi. Lin Nuoyi came to Wang Xinxia's side and smiled, "I'll arrange this. I am the General Manager of the Star Alliance, so you can ask me if you have any questions."

With that, Lin Nuoyi opened the Monster Chat Room. Surprisingly, a map-like table appeared on it, which clearly showed the layout of the Safe Zone and information about the buildings.

Most of it was marked in red. Ye Chen knew that this red mark meant that someone was already living there.

Lin Nuoyi tapped on a room on the sixth floor of Building No. 2 and said, "You can live here from now on. Although it's a three-bedroom apartment and a bit small, it should be enough for you to live in!"

"No problem, Sister Nuo Yi, as long as we have a place on the ground to live, it's fine!" Wang Xinxia said quickly, afraid of causing any trouble.

This three-bedroom apartment was much better than the environment they had lived in before.

Wang Xinxia suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sister Nuo Yi, you said you are the General Manager, and Zhu Qiang is the Vice Alliance Leader, then what about Brother Ye Chen?"

"That's right, Ye Chen is the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance, your Sister Yu Nian is also a Vice Alliance Leader, and Tie Niu is the General. The five of us are actually the founders of the Star Alliance!" Lin Nuoyi smiled as she stroked Wang Xinxia's head.

"Ah!"

Wang Xinxia's eyes widened instantly. Just an Elder of an Alliance was already hard enough to approach, but the people in front of her... were actually the founders of the Star Alliance!
