Lin Lang exited WeChat.
While eating.
He continued to scroll through videos:
"Experts analyze that the severe smog weather is mainly caused by environmental pollution, thus calling on everyone to save energy…"
Nonsense, swipe away.
"Unknown viruses infecting external organisms have extremely strong aggressiveness, causing multiple deaths! The casualty numbers are still rising! Residents in various places are advised to stay indoors and wait for rescue, do not go outside!"
A series of shocking videos and images.
Too scary, it affects his appetite, swipe away.
"Brothers! I think I have superpowers now!"
In the video.
A muscular man was excitedly rambling about something.
"Superpowers?"
This seemed a bit interesting.
So Lin Lang lingered a bit longer.
The man seemed to say—
He was so hungry yesterday that he recklessly ate a strange fruit that grew from a succulent plant! Then his strength increased significantly.
He could even easily lift his wife, who weighed over two hundred pounds!
To this, Lin Lang was half-convinced.
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 that kind of fruit the man mentioned could really grant humans abilities beyond nature, it should be the key to dealing with this crisis! After all, the issue of survival supplies is merely a current problem.
Those mutated, man-eating beasts, and even the red mist itself, are the root of the crisis! To survive in this natural disaster!
Merely having sufficient supplies is definitely not enough!
One must also possess the ability to take the initiative and explore the mist!
Lin Lang's binding with women only strengthens the physical body.
But no matter how strong the body is, it's just a tank class.
He wanted to experience what it felt like to be a mage.
However.
He couldn't go out now; where could he find those super fruit?
Succulent plants?
Unfortunately, he didn't cultivate succulents.
Looking around.
The only green plant was the cactus on his computer desk, rumored to absorb radiation.
In recent days, the cactus had indeed grown quite a bit, but there were no signs of it bearing fruit.
After finishing his meal, Lin Lang threw the trash out the window.
He didn't know what it hit, but he heard a chilling roar.
Lin Lang looked out the window.
He saw a huge bird breaking through the mist, diving down, and disappearing into the blood mist.
Like a fish leaping out of the water.
"What a crazy world."
At that moment.
Another request came in on WeChat.
Lin Lang didn't have much hope, but he went in to take a quick look.
An account with the nickname "Gefri," the profile picture was a beautiful woman in professional attire:
[Gu Fei]
[Attractiveness: 9 points]
[Recharge: 0 times]
[Loyalty: 5%]
[Return Rate: 200]
Finally, a high-rated one!
"Gu Fei?"
Lin Lang actually had some impression of this name—
A cold and proud beauty in the community who often drove a BMW and wore professional attire! Since the system rated her 9 points, it proved she was a genuine goddess.
Lin Lang decided to give her a chance and accepted her request.
...
Happiness Community.
Building C, Unit 1, 2102. Gu Fei sat weakly on the sofa, her stunning face now pale and haggard.
[You have added Lin Bulang, you can now chat]
The moment the message flashed before her eyes.
Her long-dormant beautiful eyes finally sparkled with a glimmer of light.
She had run out of supplies.
As a career woman, she had always poured all her time into work, usually ordering takeout and never cooking for herself.
To maintain her impressive figure, she had also given up all unhealthy snacks! This led to her having very few supplies.
Her fridge only had some instant breakfast—milk, eggs, fruits, and the like.
These things had barely sustained her for seven days.
But now, they were all gone.
She could no longer hold on.
What happens when one can't hold on? Then one can only be carried by someone else.
She was a smart woman.
She understood that there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
And she knew what "Lin Bulang" wanted.
The next moment.
"Lin Bulang" sent a message: [Building C, Unit 1, 22nd floor, let's talk in person]
Gefri:
[Okay]
...
At the same time.
In a low-rent apartment not far from Happiness Community.
"Chuchu, Xiao Tian is at the age of growth, how can he eat all this junk food every day? Get him some lobsters!"
"Sis! I want to eat abalone!"
On the sofa, their mother had been binge-watching dramas all day, while her younger brother played games all day.
Doing nothing but demanding lobsters and abalones? Shen Chuchu sighed helplessly:
"Mom, Xiao Tian, you don't understand the current situation. Having food is already good enough, where can I get you lobsters and abalones?"
"Why not?" her mom shouted sharply, "Isn't that Lin Lang always buying food for you? Just ask him to bring some over! Xiao Tian is the only child of the Shen family! His food and living conditions are a big deal!"
"Sis, are you trying to starve me to death?"
Although the bickering between mother and son annoyed Shen Chuchu immensely.
It also made her suddenly realize:
"Right! Lin Lang lives in the neighboring community, not far from here. Why shouldn't he bring some food over?"
Lin Lang was always obedient to her, at her beck and call!
And now was the perfect time for Lin Lang to prove his worth! Although Lin Lang was too poor, with a monthly income of only around ten thousand, making him unsuitable for marriage.
But for now… she could first pretend to reconcile with him, and once this crisis passed, she could completely cut ties! Shen Chuchu suddenly felt confident: "Alright, I'll call Lin Lang and ask him to bring some food over!"
Upon hearing this.
Both mother and son's eyes lit up: "Also ask him to bring some bird's nest, I heard it's good for beauty! We women must always look beautiful!"
"Sis! Have him bring a few packs of Huazi too!"
"Okay! No problem!"
Under the expectant gazes of mother and son.
Shen Chuchu confidently called Lin Lang. The phone rang for a dozen seconds before connecting.
"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's up?"
What's up? What kind of tone is that? I'm the one who lowered myself to call you, shouldn't you be surprised and grateful?! How dare you ask what's up?!
Shen Chuchu was instantly furious, instinctively wanting to curse!
But then she suddenly remembered she still needed him to bring things!
So she suppressed her anger:
"I'm giving you a chance to show off, bring some food over right now, rice, meat, vegetables, anything instant! And bring a few boxes of bird's nest, buy a few packs of Huazi…"
Lin Lang: ??? Who is this, making wishes here?
He didn't eat mushrooms for lunch, did he?
How could he be hallucinating?
He interrupted Shen Chuchu: "Wait, who are you?"
Shen Chuchu could no longer hold back: "What? You actually ask me who I am? You don't know who I am?!"
"Ah, now I know, you're an idiot."
Lin Lang simply hung up the phone.
Shen Chuchu was instantly dumbfounded.
"He, he dared to hang up on me? And, and insult me?!"
But Lin Lang had never hung up on her before! Let alone insult her!
He had changed! He clearly promised to take care of her for a lifetime! Could it be that just because he was dumped, his vows no longer counted?! Beside her, Shen Ling Tian and her mother looked anxious: "What did Lin Lang say? When will he arrive?"
Shen Chuchu finally came back to her senses.
A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still stubbornly said:
"The, the signal here is bad! I'll go inside and talk to him!"
After saying that.
She walked into the bedroom.
Locked the door.
"Damn Lin Lang! Scumbag!"
"A big man who can't even gather fifty thousand in betrothal gifts! What right does he have to get married?"
"Now he won't even agree to bring some supplies!"
"Rebellious!"
Shen Chuchu gritted her teeth and dialed Lin Lang's number again.
But…
All she got was a busy tone, she couldn't get through at all! This indicated she had been blocked.
"You dare to block me?! Lin Lang! You bastard!"
Shen Chuchu finally broke down!
But she could only shout and scream in the room! (End of Chapter)
