What’s your meaning? We’re all poor scavengers—do you intend to wipe us out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As gunfire subsided, the two sides began shouting at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your territory? I’ve got over a dozen guns now—this place is mine from now on. Once I save enough Beli, I’ll take my men to sea and become a pirate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rogil, drop your weapon—I’ll give you a chance to join me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Toby finished speaking, a gunshot cut him off—he ducked back behind the pile of trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the dilapidated house, Su Xiao could clearly see the speaker—a bearded, muscular man standing triumphantly behind a mound of garbage. He had no intention of accepting surrender—he meant to exterminate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bearded giant, Toby, differed from the emaciated refugees—he was tall, his body thick with dense muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sighed inwardly—he finally understood just how dangerous a lv.6 world truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he rushed out earlier, he would have been riddled with bullets. And this was only the beginning—things would grow even more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Xiao waited for the two factions to disperse, a nimble figure suddenly leapt from the roof into the room he occupied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew~… That was close. Finally found a safe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer’s words broke off as she spotted Su Xiao clinging to the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could speak further, Su Xiao released his grip on the eave and dropped freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon landing, he crouched low, kicked off the ground, sending several dry leaves flying—he lunged at her like a swift hunting leopard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her mouth to explain, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao struck her abdomen with a punch—he felt the soft flesh indent sharply under the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman doubled over in pain, about to scream—but Su Xiao’s palm clamped over her mouth and nose, muffling only a choked gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t enough. One hand still covered her mouth, his other hand extended flat—his fingers, like blades, stabbed hard into her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud.” The distinctive dull thump of a heavy blow to the chest echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao felt her body go limp, her eyes wide with terror as she collapsed, emitting only faint whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his fingers struck her heart, he felt an unmistakably soft texture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did this because he could not determine if she was friend or foe—subduing her first was safer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-no… don’t hurt me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whisper, faint as a mosquito’s buzz, reached him. Su Xiao scanned her from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her black hair was uneven, her face caked in grime—but the skin not covered by dirt was strikingly pale. Her linen clothes hung loosely, revealing a frail, youthful frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao could guess her intent—she was seeking refuge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Mia. I mean no harm—please don’t hurt me.” Mia’s voice was barely audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having taken a blow to the heart, Mia had not fainted—her constitution was unusually strong; for now, she could not move freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t make a sound, or I’ll kill you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his life were threatened, Su Xiao would kill—he still had blood debts to settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gulp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia, only fifteen or sixteen, swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay… I just want to hide. I won’t make a sound.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia suddenly realized—being with this man was no safer than being outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gunfire outside gradually ceased—the brawl would end soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao waited. Once the fighting ended, he would leave immediately. Though dangerous, it was also an opportunity—he needed weapons badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the start, his hands were empty—not even a decent weapon, let alone a single stick of wood, lay near him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1313,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","818a3232bd793ab139cdd30e26240da941976d7b0265d42a7b07fdd019a06801","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-4","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-2",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
