tension, the relentless sun blazing overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ping, her skin blistered and peeling from days under the merciless heat, shuffled forward, her body trembling with exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cracked lips parted to take in a shallow breath as she surveyed the chaotic scene before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crowd had gathered near the gate of the imposing fortress, shouting and jeering as they surrounded a woman who lay on the ground, bruised and bloody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swear I won’t use Boss Su’s name again!” the woman begged, her voice hoarse from screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in the crowd sneered, delivering another sharp kick to her ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think begging will help now, Su Yun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve disgraced Boss Su’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what you get for your lies!” Xi Ping winced at the brutality, but she turned her attention elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze landed on a long line of migrants, their faces sunken and weary, waiting beneath the scorching sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood in single file before a makeshift booth, where a camera had been set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each person stepped forward to give their details and submit an application to become a tenant in Boss Su’s base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is my chance,” Xi Ping thought, licking her parched lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs wobbled, her blistered feet throbbing with every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mustered the strength to approach the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please,” she rasped, her voice barely audible over the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The migrants closest to her turned to glare, their expressions a mix of irritation and suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to get two minutes in front of the camera,” Xi Ping continued, her voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know Boss Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have a deal to propose to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s urgent.” Her plea caused an immediate stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whispers broke out among the migrants, and the hostile gazes sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man near the front of the line, his sun-scorched face twisted in disbelief, barked a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know Boss Su?” he said mockingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at you—you’re half-dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of deal could someone like you have with her?” “Yeah,” another woman sneered, her arms crossed tightly over her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve been waiting for days, and you think you can just skip the line because of some lie?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get lost!” Xi Ping’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had expected skepticism but not outright hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her mouth to protest, but before she could speak, the woman on the ground—Su Yun—lifted her battered face and pointed a trembling finger at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s lying too!” Su Yun screeched, her voice cutting through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She doesn’t know Boss Su—she’s trying to take advantage of you all!” The crowd turned on Xi Ping in an instant, their anger redirected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the men who had been beating Su Yun stepped forward, glaring at Xi Ping with barely restrained fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re lying,” he growled, cracking his knuckles, “we’ll deal with you the same way we dealt with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you want to take advantage of migrants?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think again.” Xi Ping took an involuntary step back, her hands trembling at her sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the blistered, angry faces closing in around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the migrants in the line, who moments ago had been strangers, now looked ready to turn on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!” she said quickly, raising her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not lying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really do know Boss Su!” Her words only seemed to fan the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mocking laughter of the crowd rang in her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s delusional,” one woman scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, you think Boss Su’s just going to come out here and confirm it for you?” “How stupid do you think we are?” another man spat, taking a threatening step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yun, emboldened by the mob’s energy, sat up slightly despite her injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curled into a cruel smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beat her!” Su Yun shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s just like me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t let her get away with it!” Xi Ping’s stomach churned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yun didn’t even know her, yet the woman’s malicious intent was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t about Xi Ping—it was about dragging someone else down to suffer alongside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not getting past us!” one of the migrants snarled, advancing on Xi Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think you can just use Boss Su’s name and get away with it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll teach you a lesson!” Another joined in, “You must think you’re so clever, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking Boss Su would recognize a nobody like you?” The crowd began closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ping’s fingers clenched into fists as she braced herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body was weak, her mind foggy from days of starvation and heat, but she wouldn’t go down without a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this was how it ended, at least she would defend herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the first man lunged toward her, a sharp, mechanical voice rang out from the base’s loudspeakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop!” The voice echoed with authority, silencing the mob instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heads turned toward the base as the voice continued, hurried and unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Boss Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ping, step forward and enter the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is known to me.” The air grew thick with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd froze, their mouths hanging open as they processed the announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the man who had been about to strike Xi Ping staggered back, his face pale with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Su knows her?” someone whispered, incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way,” another muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could—?” Xi Ping felt her knees buckle with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She staggered but managed to straighten herself, her breath coming in uneven gasps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in her chest eased as gratitude washed over her like a cool breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yun’s face twisted in fury and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!” she screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s lying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Su can’t possibly—!” “Shut up, Su Yun,” one of the men growled, kicking her back to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ping ignored the woman’s protests, her focus solely on the gates of the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She limped forward, each step a struggle, but her resolve carried her through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she approached the gates, the crowd parted reluctantly, their faces a mix of awe, confusion, and begrudging respect.\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c72552c482b5b60e91b995831ff0ede3e60b6a8b579d6e381dd1ddc8bdbf091","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-243","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-241",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
