The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

"Hehehe, little girl, yours is pretty big! (?o ? o?)"

"No way! e?(?＞ ? <)? 3"

"Wow, my sister's legs are so white! (?w?)"

"Let me touch it~ (?＞?＜?)"

"Beautiful lady, let me see how your hands feel! (′▽｀)ノ?"

"Female pervert! Don't you have one too? (*/?＼*)"

"Mine isn't as big as yours! Let me touch it~ Hehehe ┐(?o?)┌"

"Ah! No! o(*////▽////*)q"

"..."

These inappropriate words would make people want to call the police anywhere else, but this happened in a women's changing room.

A girls' changing room seems perfectly reasonable, after all, they're all good friends~ (〃?w?)

However, in such situations, there are usually no men present. So, under these circumstances, Meros, who had sneaked in, couldn't see anything, but hearing these words made him extremely uneasy.

So Meros decided to go back into the shadows and focus solely on Lin Xiyue.

"Sister Lin, why did you come here? It's dangerous here, and you're just an ordinary resident. There's no need for you to come."

The girls, who were joking around, suddenly brought up this topic, and the entire locker room fell silent.

"Let's not talk here yet. Let's go outside and talk while we do the check-up. Although things are more relaxed now, we can't afford to rest for too long."

A female voice, clearly belonging to the team leader, unconsciously carried a hint of authority and sounded louder than some of the other girls' voices.

"Ok."

Everyone quickly put on their coats and left the changing room one by one. The girls were all very well-mannered; each one appeared serious, reliable, gentle, and meticulous after leaving the changing room. Honestly, you couldn't tell at all that the wild and suggestive things they had said in the changing room earlier were coming from them.

"I witnessed their lives in the slums by chance a few days ago, and I really felt how difficult it was for them. Now that I have the ability to help them, I thought, why shouldn't I do it? Regardless of whether I can help them or not, at least I tried my best, and I have a clear conscience. I won't wake up in the middle of the night feeling sad that I have the ability to save them but turned a blind eye."

After leaving the changing room, Lin Xiyue finally had time to answer the question she had been asked earlier while cooperating with the examination. As she spoke, her eyelids were noticeably lowered, concealing the sadness that involuntarily welled up in her eyes.

It's not necessarily true that she felt pity for them, but at least Lin Xiyue felt that she had done what she wanted to do.

“e=(′o｀*)))Alas”

Everyone sighed in unison.

"I've seen families torn apart by parasitism from other races, which solidified my decision to join the logistics department. Although I'm just a support ability user with no offensive capabilities, I want to do my best. Humans are already struggling to survive, and everyone is trying to make their lives and their families' lives better. The thought that my efforts can help people behind me live in peace and security gives me a great sense of accomplishment."

Seeing that everyone was feeling sad, a girl didn't want everyone to be immersed in this mood, so she took the initiative to talk about why she joined the logistics department.

"Even so, I think, why don't we let people from the slums into the safe zone as well? Even if we can't let everyone in, we can at least let some children in."

Following this topic, another girl also shared her thoughts.

"You haven't been out of college for very long, have you?"

The logistics department captain smiled at the young girl who had just shared her opinion and asked.

"Oh? Yes, Captain. I only graduated two years ago, and then joined our post-production department after training. I joined last month."

The girl instinctively stood at attention, saluted, and then answered.

"Don't be so nervous. I remember you. Your name is Xiong Xin, right? You were so energetic back then, wanting to join our logistics department. You said you wanted to find a boyfriend among our law enforcement officers because you thought they were so handsome, right? (?w＜) Oh, I've installed the equipment for you. Ms. Lin, lie down and don't move around. I'll push you in for the checkup."

The captain comforted the girl and then pushed Lin Xiyue into the examination machine.

Yes, that's right. (*?▽?)

Xiong Xin was clearly shy when she heard the captain talk about finding a boyfriend.

"So this is your first time participating in a large-scale dangerous activity, right? Are you feeling a little hesitant after seeing the scenes in the slums?"

The captain didn't continue talking about her boyfriend, but instead changed the subject to something else.

"Yes, I don't understand why we don't try to eliminate slums. People here seem to have a very difficult life."

Xiong Xin truthfully expressed her thoughts.

"It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't. Don't be fooled by their current hardship; they have their own complete set of necessities here. They have extremely cheap food and clothing. Although not everyone has housing, they can survive here. In the slums, there are even free or extremely cheap schools and small hospitals run by people with medical knowledge. They can even find all their necessities here. Although the quality of life here is extremely low for you, they can still survive."

The captain revealed some things that the young people didn't know.

"Then, if we eliminate the slums immediately, they will die before they can find work because they cannot afford the high cost of living outside the slums. And if the government helps, it cannot pay for everything because our biggest threat right now is the slaughter of us by other races. So, survival is what we need to do most."

After the captain finished speaking, he pulled Lin Xiyue out and removed the equipment from her body.

"Alright, Ms. Lin. You can leave now. We need to officially start working. We'll send your medical examination report to your email address once it's ready. :D"

Although Xiong Xin was somewhat dazed after hearing the captain's words, feeling that she was still unable to process what she had to say, she still subconsciously helped Lin Xiyue up and said what she often said.

"Okay, I understand, thank you~ But I also want to tell you that the people in the slums I've met are living very optimistically. So if we completely solve the problem of the alien race, can't we develop the economy and then solve the slum problem? History is a long river, and all we can do is strive to move forward in our own place."

After saying this, Lin Xiyue pushed open the door and left, leaving Xiong Xin still deep in thought.
