Lin Lang exited WeChat.
While eating.
And continued to scroll through videos:
"Experts analyze that the severe smog is mainly caused by environmental pollution, calling on everyone to conserve energy..."
Nonsense, swipe away.
"External organisms are infected by an unknown virus, exhibiting extreme aggression and resulting in multiple deaths! The number of casualties is still increasing! Residents are advised to stay indoors, await rescue, and do not go out!"
A series of shocking video images.
Too terrifying, affecting my appetite, swipe away.
"Brothers! It seems like I have superpowers!"
In the video.
A strong man was speaking excitedly and incoherently.
"Superpowers?"
This seems a bit interesting.
So Lin Lang lingered a bit longer.
The man roughly said—
He was so hungry yesterday that he desperately ate a strange fruit from his succulent plant!
Then his strength increased significantly.
He could even easily lift his wife who weighed over two hundred pounds!
Lin Lang was half-believing this.
But the next second, the video mysteriously disappeared.
Hmm!
The credibility suddenly increased a lot!
In Lin Lang’s understanding, danger often coexists with opportunity.
This apocalypse might be a disaster leading to human extinction, but it could also be a chance for life to evolve!
If the kind of fruit the man mentioned could indeed give humans supernatural abilities, it might be the key to facing this crisis!
After all, the problem of survival resources is only an immediate issue.
Those mutated man-eating beasts, and even the Red Mist itself, are the real source of the crisis!
To survive this catastrophe!
Just having ample resources is definitely not enough!
One must also have the ability to take initiative and explore the mist!
The reward for binding a woman only strengthens the physical body.
But no matter how strong the physical body is, it’s just a tank role.
He still wanted to experience being a Mage.
But now.
He couldn’t go out, so where could he find those Superpower Fruits?
Succulent plants?
Unfortunately, he doesn’t grow succulents.
He looked around.
The only green plant was the cactus on his computer desk, rumored to absorb radiation.
Lately, the cactus had indeed grown a lot, but there were no signs of it bearing fruit.
After finishing his meal, Lin Lang threw the garbage out the window.
Not sure what it hit, but he heard a creepy howl.
Lin Lang looked out the window.
He saw a giant bird breaking through the mist, then diving down, disappearing into the bloody mist.
Like a fish leaping out of the water.
"Crazy world."
Just then.
Another request came on WeChat.
Lin Lang didn’t hope for much, but he took a quick look.
An account with the nickname "Gefri", and the avatar was a beautiful woman in professional attire:
[Gu Fei]
[Appearance: 9 points]
[Recharge: 0 times]
[Loyalty: 5%]
[Return Multiplier: 200]
Finally got one with a high rating!
"Gu Fei?"
Lin Lang actually had some impression of this name—
A stunning woman driving a BMW, often wearing professional attire, with a cold and aloof demeanor in the district!
Since the system rated her 9 points, it proves she’s a genuine goddess.
Lin Lang decided to give her a chance and accepted her request.
...
Xingfu District.
Building C, Unit 1, Room 2102.
Gu Fei sat weakly on the sofa, her stunning face now pale and haggard.
[You have added Lin Bulang, you can now chat]
As the message appeared.
Her once dim and lifeless eyes finally showed a glimmer of light.
She’s out of supplies.
As a professional elite, she always devoted all her time to work, always ordering takeout and never cooking herself.
To maintain her stunning figure, she also gave up all unhealthy snacks!
As a result, her stockpile of resources was particularly low.
The fridge had only some instant breakfast—milk, eggs, fruits, and such.
These things barely sustained her for seven days.
But now it’s all gone.
She couldn’t hold on any longer.
What’s the consequence of not holding on?
It means being held by someone else.
She’s a smart woman.
She understands there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
And she knows what that "Lin Bulang" wants.
The next moment.
"Lin Bulang" sent a message:
[Building C, Unit 1, Floor 22, let’s talk in detail]
Gefri:
[Okay]
...
At the same time.
In a cheap rental apartment not far from Xingfu District.
"Chuchu, it’s a crucial time for Xiaotian’s growth, how can he eat these junk foods every day? Get him some lobster!"
"Sis! I want to eat abalone!"
Mom spent the whole day chasing dramas on the sofa, and the younger brother played games all day.
Doing nothing, yet you just ask for lobster and abalone?
Shen Chuchu sighed helplessly:
"Mom, Xiaotian, you don’t understand the current situation. It’s already good to have something to eat. Where am I supposed to get you lobster and abalone?"
"How come not?" Her mom yelled sharply, "Doesn’t Lin Lang often buy it for you to eat? Just ask him to send some over. Xiaotian is the only heir of the Shen family! His food, clothing, and accommodation are of utmost importance!"
"Sis, are you trying to starve me?"
The quarrel between the mother and son made Shen Chuchu incredibly frustrated.
But it also made her realize:
"Yeah! Doesn’t Lin Lang live just in the neighboring district, not far from here? Why not ask him to send over some food?"
Lin Lang has always been obedient to her beck and call!
And now, it’s time for Lin Lang to prove his worth!
Although Lin Lang is too poor, with a monthly income of only about ten thousand, not suitable for marriage.
But for now... might as well nominally get back together with him, and after this crisis passes, break it off completely!
Shen Chuchu instantly felt reassured:
"Alright, I’ll call Lin Lang to send over some food!"
Upon hearing this.
The mother and son both brightened up:
"Ask him to bring some bird’s nest too, I heard it benefits beauty! Women must always look their best!"
"Sis! Have him bring some cigarettes while he’s at it!"
"Okay! No problem!"
Under the expectant gazes of the mother and son.
Shen Chuchu confidently called Lin Lang, the ringtone rang for over ten seconds before it connected.
"Hello! Lin Lang!"
Shen Chuchu started with an accusatory tone.
"Why did you take so long to answer the phone?"
On the other end, Lin Lang’s voice was cold:
"What do you want?"
What do I want?
What kind of tone is that?
I’ve already humbled myself by calling you; shouldn’t you be grateful and honored?
And you dare ask what I want?!
Shen Chuchu was instantly enraged, instinctively wanting to lash out!
But then she remembered, she still needed him to send things over!
So she restrained her anger:
"Here’s a chance to prove yourself. Bring some food over immediately, stuff like rice, meat, vegetables, anything instant will do! Also, bring a few boxes of bird’s nest, and buy some cigarettes..."
Lin Lang: ???
What kind of person makes wishes here?
Didn’t have mushrooms for lunch, right?
How come you’re hallucinating?
He interrupted Shen Chuchu:
"Wait a minute, who are you?"
Shen Chuchu could no longer hold back:
"What? You’re asking who I am? You don’t know who I am?!"
"Oh, now I know, you’re an idiot."
Lin Lang simply hung up the phone.
Shen Chuchu was instantly dumbfounded.
"He dared hang up on me? And even insult me?!"
But, Lin Lang had never hung up on her before!
Let alone insulted her!
He’s changed!
He clearly promised to take care of me for life!
Is it just because he was dumped, the vow no longer counts?!
On the side, Shen Lingtian and his mom looked anxious:
"What did Lin Lang say? When is he coming?"
Shen Chuchu finally came to her senses.
A flicker of panic in her eyes, but still insisted:
"The signal here is bad! I’ll go inside to talk to him!"
After speaking.
She entered the bedroom.
And locked the door.
"Damn Lin Lang! Jerk!"
"A grown man, can’t even put together a fifty thousand dowry! How is he qualified to marry?"
"And now, he even refuses to send some supplies!"
"You’re defying me!"
Shen Chuchu gritted her teeth, dialing Lin Lang’s phone again.
But...
Only to hear repeated busy signals, it couldn’t get through at all!
This indicated that she had been blocked.
"You dare block me?! Lin Lang! You bastard!"
Shen Chuchu finally broke down!
But could only shout and scream in the room!
