How about we find an opportunity to pay our respects later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xuan rubbed the rabbit ears in his hands, not answering the question directly, but staring blankly at the scene in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he looked more like a philosopher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pom-Pom saw that his state was a bit strange, so it asked softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Passenger Bai Bai Xuan, are you also feeling sad for the lives lost and moved by the lives that survived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pom-Pom suspected that this footage had touched upon Bai Bai Xuan's past, which was why he was making such an expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xuan raised his right hand and tapped the frame of his glasses:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I am contemplating a philosophical question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the prey knows the bait is bait, when does it look at the bait;

Is it safe where you are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxim ruffled the boy's hair and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I come from a safe place. How many people are left here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Body temperature normal, hair didn't fall out when touched; it was a real person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not many left. Everyone got sick at first, and then they turned into monsters in the hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, you must not go near there; it's more terrifying than hell. My dad tried to save my mom, but he didn't come back either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxim vigilantly poked his head out to observe the surroundings. After confirming that the monster from earlier had left, he continued to squat and look into the boy's eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you take me to see everyone? I have a way to get them out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were a beautiful purple with no signs of pupil dilation, and the pupils changed with the brightness of the environment; he was a real person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy nodded, looking very well-behaved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he crouched down and led the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxim thought for a moment and pressed and held the communicator behind his ear for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was to initiate a call request.\u003C\u002Fp>",1270,"2026-06-14T04:01:45.417Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","4f8c7f835ed060945515b2827458fe520a91fef8cfc9b09bc5b13609d1674264","star-rail-i-established-the-foundation-at-the-st-chapter-10","star-rail-i-established-the-foundation-at-the-st-chapter-8",641,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-rail-i-established-the-foundation-at-the-st-cover.jpg"]
