Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The Rescue Has Arrived

Everything in the living room was as usual.

However, Gu Fei stood in the center of the living room, her expression somewhat subtle.

She exchanged glances with Lin Lang for a few seconds.

Lin Lang's gaze remained calm.

After organizing her thoughts, she said, "I just received a message; the authorities have dispatched a rescue."

"Oh?"

Lin Lang was slightly taken aback.

"Is that so?"

Surprised? Not really.

Just a bit curious—given the current situation, how could the authorities possibly conduct a rescue? Would they send people to deliver supplies? The risks must be enormous! After all, the outdoors is now a realm of monsters...

Lin Lang snapped back to reality and noticed Gu Fei's strange expression.

He pondered for a moment and instantly understood.

So he calmly asked:

"Are you feeling like you've lost out?"

"Clearly, if you had just held on for one more night, you could have been rescued."

"Yet, it seems you've unwittingly benefited a stranger man?"

This was understandable.

It was like ordering a piece of clothing online, only to find out the next second that it was on sale, and the store wouldn't refund the price difference!

What a loss!

A huge loss! It could even make one so upset that they couldn't eat for days!

Upon hearing this, Gu Fei fell silent, seemingly in agreement.

Seeing her like this, Lin Lang shrugged and said nonchalantly:

"If you don't want to stay here, you can leave; I have no objections."

"In fact, I can even give you some supplies to ensure you won't starve in the short term."

After all, he was already bound to her.

No matter where Gu Fei went, Lin Lang could still return supplies to her.

In comparison, keeping someone unfaithful around posed a greater risk.

However.

Lin Lang could foresee that this time, the authorities' rescue might not succeed.

Even if it did, it would only be temporary.

A single supply drop would only allow these people to hold on for a little longer; it wouldn't solve the fundamental problem.

The blood mist crisis would inevitably continue to worsen.

Until it spiraled completely out of control, leaving even the authorities powerless! At that point, everything would return to square one.

Supplies would still be scarce.

Lin Lang would still be able to attract many high-quality women with his abundant supplies!

But he had a principle—

Once unfaithful, never to be used again!

If Gu Fei chose to leave this time, no matter how she fared afterward, Lin Lang would never take her back!

He wouldn't feel some inexplicable sense of responsibility just because he had charged her once.

But.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Gu Fei calmly said, "I am already yours."

Then she sat back down on the sofa.

Her long legs crossed, pale and dazzling.

Moreover, she was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

Lin Lang couldn't help but smile slightly.

Such a beautiful woman, with such loyalty—wasn't she his ideal type? Did it make his heart race? Not at all!

He wasn't a three-year-old anymore.

Shen Chuchu had long taught him a lesson—In the adult world, where are all those ideals? It's all about interests!

Gu Fei was a smart woman.

The possibilities Lin Lang thought of, she had also considered—

Supplies are the key to survival in the apocalypse.

And Lin Lang was an endless treasure trove of supplies!

How many supplies did he actually have? No one knew.

The only thing that could be confirmed was—definitely not a small amount! He was risking a lot to gather those uncertain amounts of emergency supplies.

Or should she stay by Lin Lang's side, continuing this carefree life of eating and drinking?

A normal person would know what to choose, right?

Then, Gu Fei continued, "The authorities have issued an announcement. This rescue is a supply drop, which will be transported by helicopter and dropped onto the rooftops of high-rise buildings in Mingyue City!"

"Residents should prepare, travel in groups, and work together to fend off any potential beast attacks."

"After receiving the supplies, return indoors immediately and distribute them reasonably to nearby residents…"

After she finished reading, she stopped talking and just observed Lin Lang's reaction.

"A helicopter, huh…"

Lin Lang frowned slightly.

This sounded like a decent option—

With land plants growing wildly, the once flat city roads now resembled a primitive jungle, making it impossible for armored vehicles to pass.

But was the air really safe?

His mind couldn't help but conjure the image of that giant bird leaping through the clouds and blood mist...

At this moment, the internet was buzzing with excitement.

Lin Lang casually clicked into WeChat.

He saw that Shen Chuchu had sent him dozens of unread messages.

All of which he ignored.

In the community group for Happy Community, there were also numerous mentions of him.

He clicked in.

The property manager Wang Lianda was the first to share the news of the official rescue in the group.

Not a single mistake in the message!

He even specifically tagged "Lin Bulang": [The disaster will eventually pass, and the wicked will be severely punished!]

A bunch of residents followed suit, getting excited: [Lin Bulang, speak up!]

[You think you're the only one with supplies? You think you're so great? Now that everyone has enough supplies, are you still so arrogant?]

[Idiot! You still want to trade supplies for women? You can't even get a blow-up doll now, right? Hahaha!]

[Hand over your remaining supplies, and maybe the authorities will give you a chance to redeem yourself! Otherwise, when the officials arrive, you're done for!]

...

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and they felt they could manage.

Lin Lang wouldn't get angry over these people.

After all, there would come a time when they would be crying! He simply replied lightly: [Good morning everyone, have you had breakfast?]

Accompanied by a picture of today's breakfast.

The group instantly exploded! Countless curses poured in! Before the flames of war completely erupted, Lin Lang quickly exited.

But he found that Shen Chuchu's messages were still increasing.

"This woman really is persistent."

He clicked in: several sixty-second voice messages he had no interest in listening to.

And countless text messages: [Who is that woman? Get her out of here! All those supplies belong to me; you're not allowed to share them with anyone!]

[What kind of woman would sleep with you for a bit of supplies? She can't be from some special industry, right?]

[Lin Lang, have you seen the news? Hahaha!]

[The official rescue is coming soon; who still cares about your measly supplies?]

[With your income, you think you can marry me? Pfft! A person like you is only fit to find a hooker!]

...

This woman must be mentally unstable, right?

One moment a bitch, the next a princess, switching so smoothly! Lin Lang only replied: [You're cheaper than a chicken.]

Before long, several sixty-second voice messages came in again.

...

In Shen Chuchu's affordable housing.

"The hard days are finally over!"

Shen Lingtian lay on the sofa, playing games while cursing.

"My luck has been terrible these past few days; damn it, I wasted a few stars!"

His mother complained while looking in the mirror: "Who says it's not? Look, I've got a few more spots! Sigh! For us women, our faces are our lives!"

She then turned to Shen Chuchu and said:

"Chuchu! Although those people are sending supplies soon, I doubt there will be any cosmetics in there! Those rough men wouldn't be that considerate!"

"You should contact Lin Lang; he still needs to send the bird's nest! If he dares not to send it, we'll add a few hundred thousand to the betrothal gift!"

Shen Lingtian also chimed in:

"Exactly! It was clearly said that the supplies were coming; how could that dog not keep his word?"

Shen Chuchu said proudly, "That idiot Lin Lang thinks that just because he has stocked up a bit of supplies, he can be the emperor in this apocalypse?"

"Now that we're not short on supplies, isn't he still just a worthless dog?"

"At this time, just give him a little hope; do you think he won't listen?"

Her mother chuckled:

"Exactly! Men are just like that!"

"You shouldn't have dumped him so early! He must still have quite a bit of savings! If not five hundred thousand, at least two or three hundred thousand!"

"Have him buy a car for Xiao Tian! It'll be convenient for Xiao Tian to go out and have fun, pick up girls!"

"Once Xiao Tian hooks a rich girl, we'll be living the good life! Hahaha!"

Shen Lingtian was also very happy.

He scratched his greasy, sparse hair.

Hehe, he laughed.

Wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a monkey god print, wrapped around three hundred pounds of fat, jiggling.

Boom boom boom—

A sound came from the sky, growing closer.

Shen Chuchu's eyes lit up, pointing out the window excitedly:

"It's a helicopter! The rescue supplies are here!"
