At this moment, Zheng Yuner's appearance could only be described as a pitiful sight.
Her hair was gone, her clothes were gone, her entire body was charred black, and her skin was wrinkled and shriveled.
Apart from her eyes, there was not a single part of her that was intact.
At first glance, she looked like an alien.
She looked down at her body and seemed to be shocked by her own appearance.
However, surprisingly, she didn't show any particular sadness or emotional breakdown.
After a brief moment of dazedness, she regained her normal expression.
"This is also good. A beautiful appearance is sometimes not a treasure but a disaster," she murmured.
During her school days, she had been admired for her beauty, which had attracted the jealousy of a certain girl in her class.
The girl often teamed up with a few others to bully her.
Some boys would also block her way after school.
Her mother had even changed jobs to pick her up from school.
This time, she had been targeted by those scumbags because of her looks.
As a result, her parents had lost their lives one after another.
Therefore, beauty was not necessary for her; it was a burden.
Although she was startled when she first saw her appearance, she now felt more at ease.
Her parents were gone, but she was still alive.
Perhaps, this was a form of punishment.
Living on with this appearance made her feel a bit lighter.
Otherwise, she would have felt unworthy to continue living.
Yun Xiaoxiao was quite surprised by Zheng Yuner's composure.
Whether male or female, most people care about their appearance.
It was rare to find someone who could be so indifferent.
However, Yun Xiaoxiao thought this was a good thing.
A beautiful exterior is merely a shell, while a rich inner world and strong abilities are what women should truly value.
Only by doing so can one's emotions not be easily swayed and one's self-protection enhanced, avoiding harm from others.
After Zheng Yuner buried her father's body, Yun Xiaoxiao looked at her.
"Sister, what are your plans for the future?"
Zheng Yuner shook her head.
With both parents gone and the world in such a despairing state, she was feeling lost.
"Would you like to come with me?"
Zheng Yuner glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao, her eyes filled with contemplation.
After a while, she nodded.
"Okay."
Their conversation was simple.
Perhaps, they didn't need many words to understand each other's intentions.
Since the previous plane had been destroyed, Yun Xiaoxiao had to take out another one.
When the plane suddenly appeared out of thin air, Zheng Yuner's eyebrows raised, and her eyes showed a hint of shock.
But she quickly regained her composure.
This little sister probably had some special ability, just like her father.
The two boarded the plane one after another.
When she saw Yun Xiaoxiao skillfully operating the various buttons and the plane gradually rising, Zheng Yuner looked at her with admiration once again.
This little sister was truly extraordinary!
Afterwards, Yun Xiaoxiao piloted the plane towards the coal mine.
She had promised Xie Youcai and the others that she would pick them up in half a month.
She had also informed Lu Chen and the others about the time.
At this point, someone from the base should have already taken a helicopter there.
On the way, although she sped up, she still stopped at places with factories below.
This time, in addition to Little Cutie and Big Beauty, she had another helper.
Initially, Zheng Yuner didn't know how to use the energy within her.
She didn't even realize she had acquired supernatural abilities.
It was Yun Xiaoxiao who reminded her and taught her how to activate her powers. Only then did she discover that she had gained a powerful ability.
She could release explosive-like objects at will!
When Yun Xiaoxiao told her that in addition to her explosive ability, she also had a physical enhancement ability, Zheng Yuner was quite surprised.
Curious, she used a twig to poke her own body.
To her astonishment, her body felt like it was covered with a hard armor.
The twig broke without even piercing her skin.
Besides feeling a slight discomfort, she didn't feel much pain.
Excited, she grew even more fond of her new body.
Her explosive ability also became more proficient through repeated practice.
Watching Zheng Yuner's rapid progress, Yun Xiaoxiao felt a sense of satisfaction.
Two days later, they finally arrived at the coal mine area.
By the time they got there, Mu Yang and his team had already arrived.
"Hi, long time no see, little one," Mu Yang greeted Yun Xiaoxiao with a smile, his demeanor as warm as his name suggested.
Then, his gaze fell on Zheng Yuner.
"Who is this...?"
"This is Sister Yuner. Sister Yuner, this is Brother Mu Yang," Yun Xiaoxiao introduced the two.
Zheng Yuner was a bit reserved and only nodded slightly.
In other words, she didn't have much of a good impression of men right now.
Mu Yang smiled and didn't take her coldness personally.
After a brief greeting, he pointed to Xie Youcai and the group who were boarding the helicopters.
"You left three helicopters here, plus the one you're on, that's a total of four.
It looks like we can't transport everyone in one go.
I plan to divide them into several batches. What do you think?"
"Yeah, that's fine. You decide," Yun Xiaoxiao gave Mu Yang full respect.
Most importantly, having someone else take care of things meant she could relax a bit.
She trusted Mu Yang quite a bit.
"Little Base Leader, you're here!"
Xie Youcai, who was busy organizing people to board the helicopters, turned his head and saw Yun Xiaoxiao.
Excitedly, he hurried over.
"Yes, is the coal mining finished?" Yun Xiaoxiao lifted her gaze.
"Yes, yes, it was mostly done last night. We finished the last batch this morning," Xie Youcai replied respectfully, showing great deference to Yun Xiaoxiao.
This also surprised Zheng Yuner.
Although she knew Yun Xiaoxiao wasn't an ordinary child, she hadn't expected her to be the leader of a base.
So many adults treated her with such respect.
However, thinking about it, it seemed quite reasonable.
Under Xie Youcai's guidance, Yun Xiaoxiao went to the area where the coal was stacked.
It was right at the entrance of the mine.
It was a bit far from the staff accommodation area.
People over there couldn't directly see what was happening here.
"Okay, just leave it here. Someone will come to collect it later," Yun Xiaoxiao said casually after a perfunctory look.
Of course, no one would come to collect it; she just didn't want too many people to know about her spatial abilities.
She planned to quietly collect the coal after everyone left.
Soon, the first batch of people boarded the helicopters and left.
The others stayed behind to wait.
Yun Xiaoxiao intended to stay and collect the coal, so she didn't leave either.
Bored, she took Zheng Yuner, Little Cutie, and Big Beauty down the mountain.
Earlier, from the plane, she had spotted what looked like a greenhouse area below.
It was worth checking out to see if there was anything worth collecting.
