It's so easy to be selfish.
It's also very simple to be someone who only cares about oneself.
But she didn't want to be selfish, nor did she want to be someone who only cared about herself.
Even a college student without superpowers could be selfless.
With superpowers, awakening a space, and storing supplies, she couldn't possibly become cynical after just one negative experience.
No matter what, one must always preserve the last sanctuary and the last shred of goodness in their heart.
She made no demands on others.
But for herself, she had to be strict in adhering to her original intentions, never forgetting why she started.
She simply couldn't stand by and do nothing, or refuse to lend a helping hand, when faced with events unfolding before her eyes and people in need of assistance, especially when she had the ability to help.
In her past life, she had struggled in the apocalypse for five years and had also received help from other survivors.
At the very least, she wanted to be like those people who, even after years in the apocalypse and witnessing the ugliness and filth of human nature, still maintained a warm heart and offered a helping hand when others were in need.
If Shang Qi were here, he would have done the same.
Looking at the moon, Su Ling felt her state of mind open up, and her entire being felt light and relaxed from the inside out. Her body felt incredibly light, and her powers showed subtle signs of breakthrough.
Su Ling returned to the castle's location. Just as she had imagined when she left, in the short time she was gone, countless eyes had fixated on it.
Those eyes lurking in the shadows, unable to comprehend how this castle floated in the air, supported by two legs, had hesitated to act.
This was a treasure, a mode of transportation in the apocalypse and a place to shelter and protect oneself.
Who among the survivors wouldn't be tempted by such a convenient, mobile sanctuary?
As Su Ling appeared, the hidden gazes all turned to her.
And as Su Ling emerged, the castle floating in mid-air began to descend slowly.
More precisely, the two legs supporting the castle in the air were shortening, reducing the distance between the castle and the ground.
These two legs were far from slender; they were as thick and strong as load-bearing pillars.
As time passed, the castle soon touched the ground. If not for the conspicuous semi-circular marker, no one would have suspected that it wasn't a specially constructed house with a yard and walls on the plaza.
As the castle's descent completed, a door slowly opened on the semi-circle, leaving no trace of its opening.
Upon the door's opening, a staircase extending upwards appeared before Su Ling's eyes.
Of course, those hidden in the dark couldn't see in the night, so they naturally couldn't see this.
The only thing they could likely see was the castle's descent and Su Ling's figure, illuminated by the bright moonlight.
Su Ling didn't rush forward after the door opened. Instead, she had summoned her Phoenix Fire, which transformed into a bow and arrow.
The bow and arrow, adorned with a deep blue and fiery red flame, possessed significant lethality and deterrence.
Upon seeing this, the survivors who had been stirred to action after the castle's descent temporarily suppressed their intentions.
Su Ling turned around. In the moonlight, Gu Shangse was running towards her with an empty bag slung over his shoulder.
Gu Shangse ran up the stairs and towards Su Ling, stopping in front of her. He lowered his head slightly and said, "When I came out, I only thought about following you. I forgot that you would notice me when I came back."
Su Ling didn't speak, only turned and walked forward. Gu Shangse followed her.
By the time they boarded the castle, the door closed, and the castle slowly ascended, those who had been contemplating action missed their chance.
Su Ling stood at the entrance of the stairs, looking at the dark wall. With a thought, lights appeared on the wall, extending upwards from the steps, illuminating the dark corridor.
After lighting the corridor, Su Ling turned and looked at the wall, where a door materialized.
"Get some rest early. I'll sleep in the control room."
