Now it’s my turn to protect you!

“Then what did Bai Cheng do wrong?”

Following Mo Li’s last question, the head teacher took a step back, completely speechless.

In fact, the substitute English teacher, Chu Yawen, teacher Chu, told him more than once that Bai Cheng was not a bad boy, and that he was very good and quiet in English class, and never made trouble.

But he never believed it.

“Today, in order not to let me suffer in the hands of Xu Jia, Bai Cheng has been making headway again and again.” Mo Li asked again, “Teacher, is it wrong to be kind?”

The head teacher seemed to recognize the real Bai Cheng for the first time.

He had a feeling that he might have misunderstood Bai Cheng before, but now that Mo Li pointed it out, he couldn’t get out of the play even if he was extremely embarrassed, and he was unable to refute it.

For the first time, the classmates in the class didn’t make a fuss. They sat quietly in their seats, their heads lowered in embarrassment.

Bai Cheng was stunned by Mo Li’s series of questions. He stared blankly at this person beside him, not knowing what to do for a moment. ho lo lo novels. Read here please? He didn’t even think that Mo Li could see through the things he did.

At this time, the head teacher rubbed his eyebrows and told himself that he should not lose face in front of his students. He took a deep breath and stared at Mo Li and said, “I can’t tell you what you said was truth or not, but isn’t it true that Bai Cheng is in the wrong? It is also a fact that his poor academic performance has affected the students in the class.”

“Is it wrong to have bad grades? Should I be given up if I have bad grades?” Mo Li chuckled, “If his grades are bad because he didn’t study, what is the head teacher doing to help him then?”

He paused, pretending he didn’t see the head teacher’s face, and said indifferently:

“Not to mention, Bai Cheng just had a fight with Xu Jia after hearing his parents were insulted. If it were me, Xu Jia would never be able to stand up in his life.”

“Is it right to hit someone in your opinion?” The head teacher finally found the point of the attack and sternly accused.

“Bai Cheng is right.” Mo Li spread his hands, his tone was careless, and there was no attitude of admitting his mistake, “But I admit my mistake, I shouldn’t beat Xu Jia like that, at least not in school.”

The way he spoke, because he did it in school, he accidentally involved Bai Cheng, and it was a mistake.

At that time, he couldn’t control his emotions. Otherwise, he would have picked a place where Bai Cheng wasn’t there.

The head teacher shivered angrily, “You mean to beat people outside the school? Do you know how difficult Xu Jia’s family is?”

When he was talking, a teacher hurried over and said, “Mr. Meng, something happened! Xu Jia seems to have called home, and the school leaders are rushing here.”

The head teacher’s face turned pale. He had a headache when he remembered how difficult Xu Jia’s father was last time. That time was solved by Bai Cheng kneeling down and apologizing. This time…

He looked at Mo Li, and his head hurt even more.

He wouldn’t lose his job because of these students, right?

Glancing at Bai Cheng and Mo Li at the same time, he hurried to the door of the classroom.

Bai Cheng listened to the noise in the corridor, looked towards the door, his eyes were sore and painful, thinking that his face must be looking very embarrassing now.

He couldn’t raise his head in front of Mo Li. He looked over, but his eyes were fixed on the brand-new sneakers on Mo Li’s feet, and he said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

The two were about the same height. Although Bai Cheng lowered his head, Mo Li could still see the dry tears on his face.

At the moment, he sighed lightly, resisting the thought of hugging him and whispering, “It’s okay.”

At this time, a male voice suddenly roared from outside the corridor, asking what happened, and then the head teacher explained in a low voice.

Bai Cheng glanced at the door again, took a deep breath, and when he raised his head, he looked stubborn again, even his body straightened.

He lightly patted Mo Li’s arm, looked over and said, “They will make someone take the fall in a while, I will take it all, anyway, I don’t want to go to school anymore, you can just push it all on me.”

Seeing Mo Li also looking at him with unpredictable eyes, Bai Cheng subconsciously pursed the corners of his mouth. For the first time, he restrained his indifference towards Mo Li, and smiled before saying, “You study well, don’t be implicated by me, stay in school.”

Bai Cheng’s timbre had the bright and crisp tone unique to a teenager, especially when he spoke with a smile.

He didn’t expect to be hit on the head by Mo Li as soon as his voice fell.

“I’ve put so much thought into it, I didn’t want you to drop out.” Mo Li ignored the other students in the classroom, raised his hand to touch Bai Cheng’s face, and said very seriously, “I am greedy… I want you to go to school well with me.”

Facing Bai Cheng’s youthful face, Mo Li almost said that I was jealous of him, but luckily, he bit his tongue, closed his mouth in time, and returned to his serious appearance.

The young Bai Cheng is still a little green, and he must be very beautiful crying when he is bullied.

Hearing that Mo Li was actually worried about this, Bai Cheng couldn’t help shaking his head and said, “I have already made up my mind about dropping out of school.”

“You really don’t want to go to school?” Mo Li stared at him and asked.

Seeing that Bai Cheng was about to nod his head immediately, he raised his voice and asked again.

This time, Bai Cheng hesitated for a while, and looked a little angry and said: “Of course it’s true!”

“Then why did I see you shed tears in front of my question book when I was lecturing today?” Mo Li gave Bai Cheng no face and made a short talk.

Bai Cheng was shocked and subconsciously replied: “I didn’t shed tears! I just—”

“You just …?”

Mo Li stared at Bai Cheng who had a guilty conscience and turned his eyes away, stretched out his hand and lifted the man’s chin to force Bai Cheng to look at him, “Lying to me?”

Bai Cheng struggled a little uncomfortably, he always felt that Mo Li looked at him with some emotions that he couldn’t understand.

But not malicious.

Seeing that Bai Cheng didn’t even want to look directly at him, Mo Li sighed and hugged him again, rubbing his head against Bai Cheng’s neck.

“You, what are you doing!” Bai Cheng was very sensitive, especially ticklish, and was almost made to laugh out loud by Mo Li’s actions.

“Didn’t I say it, believe me.”

Mo Li’s voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Bai Cheng’s ears were a little numb, but it was the sudden beating in his heart that was more obvious.

This is hope, and Mo Li is giving him hope.

At this moment in his mind, he thought of all the pressure he was under, his eyes were red again, and he subconsciously wanted to reject Mo Li.

He no longer believed in hope, his edges and corners had long been smoothed out.

“Bai Cheng.” Mo Li called his name, his thin lips touched the fragile neck, leaving a warm temperature, “Trust me, I will protect you.”

In fact, Mo Li always knew that he had been protected by Bai Cheng in his last life.

He was a jerk and had done many unforgivable things to Bai Cheng.

But Bai Cheng still tolerated him, redeemed him, and stayed by his side.

Now it’s his turn to protect Bai Cheng.

Li Weilan has bad memories of Tenglong Base.

His expression was cold, and Xi Nan felt the sharpness of his demeanor, like a blade of ice and snow. He asked cautiously, “Brother Li… is there something wrong?”

Li Weilan closed his eyes slightly.

It’s all in the past.

Everything has passed.

“No, it’s nothing,” he took a deep breath. “Please continue.”

Xi Nan hesitated for a moment. He had a natural intuition for sensing people’s moods and facial expressions. Even though Li Weilan tried to conceal it, the anger in his chest was still evident in his eyes.

Did Li Weilan have some kind of feud with Tenglong Base?

That shouldn’t be the case. Ability users were popular wherever they went. With Li Weilan’s abilities, he should have been able to live a comfortable life in the “strength first” Tenglong, unlike Xi Nan and his sister, who were support-type ability users.

“My sister is a support-type ability user, but food is still a necessary luxury item. At first, our life was pretty comfortable. But then my sister joined the logistics department, and a rich kid took a liking to her and harassed her every day. Unfortunately, her third-level advancement requirement was to plant apple trees with a pollution level of less than 10%…” Xi Nan gritted his teeth. “If it weren’t for the seed required for planting, my sister would have quit that job a long time ago. But she couldn’t, and it wasn’t until the day of the ability riot that the man tried to force himself on her. My sister had no choice but to destroy all the fruit trees, and that’s when we ran away. But my sister’s ability…”

Li Weilan furrowed his brows.

Every advancement to a higher level of ability had a specific talent-based task to complete. If completed, it would allow the user to cross the threshold of that level. But if the task wasn’t completed for a long time or if the user experienced other stimuli, an excess of accumulated energy could cause an ability riot, which was the most feared period for ability users. During this time, they had no self-protection capabilities and could even end up like Xi Bei, burned out and brain damaged.

Once you enter the “ability riot period”, you either have to rely on yourself to make it through and regain consciousness, or you have to buy a drug called “Dawn light” that can wake you up, and then complete the task to advance.

But “Dawn light” is only available at the auction houses of a few major bases, and the quantity released each time is extremely limited, but every time it appears, it causes a frenzy. Xi Nan knew that even if he went bankrupt, he couldn’t afford a bottle of “Dawn light”.

“My sister was still somewhat conscious at the time, and she advised me not to think about buying Dawn light,” Xi Nan’s voice carried a faint sob, “She said she would rely on herself to wake up. I always listen to what she says, but I can’t just sit around like this… Dawn light may be her only chance to wake up. Even if I can’t buy Dawn light, there’s still a low-contamination apple seed in the hands of that second-generation rich guy. If I can get it, she can wake up and complete the task.”

When he heard “Dawn light”, Li Weilan’s whole body was covered with a faint, icy chill.

But as he listened on, his expression gradually softened and eventually became dazed.

Xi Bei had a good brother.

He was lucky too… There was always someone watching over him.

“I have a friend at Tenglong Base,” Xi Nan glanced at his expression, “He’s an earth-type ability user who used to work in civil engineering before the apocalypse, dealing with soil and cement every day. His ability also leans towards assisting in this area. At the beginning, when Tenglong Base was still busy with construction, his life was a little better, but later on when the construction was almost finished, their department was put on the backburner. I thought… it would be nice to bring him over to our base to do some planning. Before, I didn’t dare to mention it because I thought our base wouldn’t need him, but now that you, Brother Li, are planning to construct a new building on the surface, we could use his help.”

Li Weilan pondered for a moment.

In fact, he had also considered the idea of going to the major bases to trade and buy things.

Noah was now empty, lacking both people and resources, and even if he wanted to recruit people, he would have to first spread the word about the base before doing any screening.

Moreover, now that he had some supplies from Walmart that he couldn’t use, he needed to exchange them for practical ones. Thinking this way, Li Weilan pushed his opinion on Xi Nan: “The Tenglong auction is in half a month, right? There should be apple seeds available by then. Prepare yourself, and after we arrange everything inside the base, we will go to Tenglong.”

“Thank you, Brother Li!” Xi Nan jumped excitedly.

Li Weilan smiled and habitually put his hand in his pocket, but suddenly felt something hard in there.

 “?” He was vaguely puzzled.

 He remembered that his pocket was empty.

 Could it be… that person again…?

This thing was a thin, small card with a slightly hard texture, a fine surface, and a warm touch.

This kind of texture could only be achieved by one material in this era—black crystal.

Black crystal was only used for one thing.

Black crystal card.

After Xi Nan left, Li Weilan took out the card from his pocket. Under the slightly yellowish light of the Noah base, the card surface shone with a brilliant light.

Mocking his poverty and lack of knowledge mercilessly.

Black crystal card, a credit limit of over 100,000 credits.

Enough for him…to buy all of the “Dawn light”.

Li Weilan’s gaze was wandering, and although he had already become accustomed to this person’s sudden appearance and disappearance, at the same time, he deeply felt his own weakness when he faced this black crystal card.

Randomly giving away a base.

Randomly giving away a weapon.

Randomly giving away a black crystal card.

What did that person think of him?

A faint blush flashed across Li Weilan’s face, and he gritted his teeth, licking his molars and feeling a dull ache.

**

Of course, Shen Cheng had no idea that Li Weilan was cursing the wealthy for their greed and imagining her as a greasy rich woman who buys and gives away at the drop of a hat. Even if she did know, she would probably weep in despair: mother isn’t actually that rich! Mother just wants to spend money on you, but she doesn’t want to do anything to you.

Her life today was simply terrible.

When she woke up in the morning, Shen Cheng rubbed her sleepy eyes and went to the bathroom to freshen up. To her surprise, she pushed the door open and saw a man brushing his teeth in the bathroom!

The problem was that he wasn’t wearing a shirt, revealing his flabby belly.

“!!!”

He was humming a tune, but Shen Cheng was startled and jumped up like a rabbit. She hurriedly ran out of the bathroom and hid behind the door in her room, pressing her ear against it to eavesdrop on the voices outside.

Rustling.

Rustling.

Then came the conversation between the man and the woman.

“Darling, have you finished washing up?” The woman’s voice was sweet and gentle.

“En,” there was a sound of a kiss, and then the man said, “Didn’t you push the door in just now?”

“Huh, it wasn’t me!” The woman’s voice was slightly higher, “What were you doing just now?”

“Brushing my teeth,” the man laughed, “Don’t worry, I wasn’t showering or peeing.”

The two of them laughed for a while, and then the sound of high-heeled footsteps suddenly approached the door where Shen Cheng was leaning against.

Shen Cheng was startled.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

She had just taken two steps back, and there were three knocks on the door. Through the door panel, the woman’s voice came through with great penetration: “Cheng Cheng, are you there?”

Shen Cheng trembled in fear!

Ah, ah, ah! She didn’t know why she was shaking!

It wasn’t her who did the wrong thing!

It wasn’t her who didn’t lock the bathroom door and then the boyfriend walked in!

It wasn’t her who promised not to bring a man home overnight and then brought him home on the first night of sharing an apartment!

And it wasn’t her who now came to find her without any guilt!

She stared at the door panel. She knew the logic behind it all, but for some reason, she was afraid of arguing with someone who would act righteous like this woman.

Shen Cheng rubbed her toes on the ground.

She took several deep breaths before opening the door. But before she could say anything, a sweet-looking woman with makeup at the door, smiling softly at her and said, “Cheng, did you want to go to the bathroom just now? My boyfriend is finished, so you can go now.”

Shen Cheng opened her mouth, wanting to say, “Didn’t we agree before I moved in that we wouldn’t bring men home overnight?” But before she could, the woman checked her watch and hurriedly said, “Oh, I might be late. Let’s chat later tonight. See you then!” She quickly walked over and took her boyfriend’s arm, smiling at Shen Cheng as they left together.

Shen Cheng pursed her lips and knew she should have spoken up and expressed her protest since last night. But sometimes in life, being straightforward about expressing dissatisfaction might only lead to more conflicts and thorns. She could only hope that bringing a boyfriend home was a one-time thing and less frequent in the future. Otherwise, she might have to confront the situation head-on, despite the potential conflicts that could arise.

Shen Cheng felt a wave of inexplicable sadness in her heart, feeling that her mood had been dampened by this incident all day. She realized that it might not be feasible to continue to cut costs like this and that she had to think of ways to increase her income.

As a girl deep in poverty, every penny was budgeted carefully. It was difficult to save more money by cutting costs alone, so she needed to find a way to increase her income.

How do I make it happen?

Never mind, let’s just enter the game to feel better.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

The last time I had difficulties in life, it was my cub who helped me solve the problem. Maybe this time, when I am at a loss, I can learn something from my cub?

Thinking of Li Weilan, Shen Cheng’s mood quickly became sunny. She tapped the game and found that the game icon had spun rapidly and updated a new version in just half a minute!

This game company is really awesome!

When Shen Cheng played other games, the patch updates from the game company would take one or two hours at the shortest, and half a day or a day at the longest. Compared to this game company of “The Last Survivor,” it was simply the industry’s conscience, and the updates were so fast!

Wow, lightning-fast speed!

Shen Cheng entered the game and found that the task system had been updated, and the tasks were now divided into two types.

[Main Quest: Current Progress: Main Quest 4 (Completed)

Main Quest 5-1. Recruit a plant-type ability user for the base 0.5/1 Task Reward: One free upgrade of the hydroponic room]

[Daily Tasks:

1. Check Li Weilan’s status (Not Completed) Gold Coins +50

2. Raise the protagonist’s status to happy or above (Not Completed) Gold Coins +50]

“…” Today is also a day of being bald from task stress.

Main Quest 1 is obviously a continuous task. The current status of the Planting department is 0.5/1, indicating that there are Plant ability users in the base after she opened the hydroponic room. However, this user is in an “abnormal” state, so the various functions of the hydroponic room cannot operate normally.

Rounding up, it should be… someone’s sister, right?

Hmm…

Shen Cheng scratched her head. It’s hard to remember the name of a supporting character.

I will

Fuck, is there a problem?

Before he came, the head teacher heard from Wu Shi that it was Bai Cheng who instigated Xu Jia, and Xu Jia got angry and said a few words to Bai Cheng. Who knew that Mo Li would protect Bai Cheng as soon as he came in, and beat up Xu Jia.

Thinking of this, the head teacher walked straight to Bai Cheng, he raised his hand to slap him, “The school is here for you to study, not for you to harm other students with some gangster behavior!”

Bai Cheng wanted to hide subconsciously, but when he looked up, he saw that Mo Li was in front of him again.

“Teacher, calm down.”

No matter how irritable Mo Li was when he acted just now, he was particularly calm when he spoke, as if it was none of his business.

The head teacher had a better impression of Mo Li, thinking that he might be a champion in his class, he was a little more biased towards Mo Li.

But who knew that Mo Li had beaten Xu Jia to the point of being half-dead within a few minutes?!

Who is Xu Jia? Xu Jia’s father has come to the school several times. He not only helped the school to promote, but also raised funds and organized some school celebrations. The lively activities from Xu Jia’s father’s arrangement at their school are famous among the rest of the middle schools.

Now that Xu Jia is beaten like this in school, a good seedling like Mo Li is likely to be expelled from school!

“Mo Li, do you think you’ll be fine after all this?” the head teacher said angrily, “Go and apologize to Xu Jia right away! If Xu Jia is appeased, maybe he can forgive you.”

Mo Li didn’t say anything, and tapped the ground with his toes a few times, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Why don’t you hurry up!” The head teacher angrily came up and hit him on the arm.

Bai Cheng didn’t want Mo Li to protect him anymore than he already did, so he stepped forward and grabbed Mo Li’s arm. At the same time, he blocked the head teacher’s movements and said, “Teacher, I’ll go.”

He can no longer let Mo Li be humiliated by Xu Jia.

“You still know to apologize?” The head teacher sneered, not having such a good attitude towards Bai Cheng, and pointed directly at Bai Cheng: “Today’s incident has passed, and I will go directly to the principal to ask you to drop out of school. If you stay in this classroom, I am afraid that my other students will also be damaged by you!”

Bai Cheng’s hand reached into his trouser pocket and clenched fiercely, but said nonchalantly, “Whatever, I don’t want to go to school at this place anyway.”

When he spoke, his eyes never fell on Mo Li for a moment, and as he was about to leave, raising his feet.

“How to apologize?”

At this moment, Mo Li suddenly spoke up.

Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to see Mo Li looking straight at the head teacher, not talking to him.

The head teacher frowned, not understanding what Mo Li was doing by asking such an irrelevant question, and said casually, “How else can you apologize?”

“Kneel down?” Who knew that this came out of Mo Li’s mouth.

This time, not only the students in the class looked over, but the head teacher’s eyes widened, and even Bai Cheng suddenly looked at Mo Li. ho lo lo novels. At the same time, Mo Li turned his eyes away, his pure-colored eyes looked straight at Bai Cheng, and asked again, “shall I kneel down?”

At this moment, Bai Cheng only felt as if he had been stripped naked, shame and anger flooded his face at the same time, his mind was blank, and his self-esteem was completely shattered. He didn’t expect that Mo Li knew about it after only two days of transferring.

Why is Mo Li asking this now, looking down on him?

It turns out that the people who helped him… also looked down on him?

Facing a mother who was out of control, facing the embarrassment of not being able to go to school, facing the classmates who kept bullying him in the class, and facing the teacher who gave up on him, Bai Cheng never shed tears in front of others. But now he had red eyes, opened his mouth slightly and closed it again, and then asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you think I wanted to kneel?”

After he spoke, he suddenly raised his voice again, beating his chest in despair, and said, “Do you think I wanted to kneel!”

He started crying, his eyes were red, the tip of his nose was red, and his brows were also red. He didn’t want to show such a face in front of others, so he wiped his eyes hard and was about to run out, but his arm was caught.

“Let go!” he growled.

Unexpectedly, Mo Li refused and hugged him, ignoring his struggle and patted his shoulder hard: “Trust me, you are better than anyone else, Bai Cheng.”

Bai Cheng was stunned. Immediately afterward, Mo Li supported his shoulder and looked straight at the teacher: “Teacher, do you see how much pressure your students are under?”

“What pressure…” The head teacher said naively, unable to look directly at Bai Cheng for the first time.

“When Bai Cheng was forced to kneel down, did you do your best to protect your students?” Mo Li said lightly: “or, in your eyes, you always feel that a poor student is not a student, the big things are reduced to small ones, and as long as Xu Jia stops making troubles, it will be fine?”

The head teacher choked, and quickly said angrily: “What are you taking about such mess, when did I think about it, that time it was Bai Cheng who wanted to kneel himself, what does it have to do with me! Besides, that time Bai Cheng also fought, and he was in the wrong!”

However, Mo Li shook his head. He was obviously just a student, but his eyes were so sharp that the head teacher subconsciously looked away.

“Then do you know the cause and effect of his fight?” Mo Li said again.

The head teacher told himself that he couldn’t be afraid of a student, he straightened up and said, “It’s just a little contradiction…”

“Bai Qunan.” Mo Li suddenly turned his head and looked at Bai Qunan, “Do you have anything to say?”

Bai Qunan had been watching the play this entire time, but when he saw Bai Cheng’s emotional breakdown, he didn’t know why he only felt that his heart was heavy.

He blamed himself a little because he had been watching and isolating Bai Cheng for more than a year.

Hearing Mo Li suddenly calling himself, he subconsciously stood up, a little timid, but when he saw Bai Cheng’s red eyes, he suddenly made up his mind and summoned his courage: “Actually, teacher, it was Xu Jia who always tore up Bai Cheng’s books, insulted Bai Cheng, laughed at his poor family, and ridiculed that his shoes were old and worn out.”

Now that he has spoken up, Bai Qunan has also gone out of his way, even if Wu Shi and the others are going to find trouble for him, he has a clear conscience, “This is not the first time, every day Xu Jia is thinking of ways to insult Bai Cheng, saying that he His family was poor, his parents were poor, and he was poor all his life. The reason for the fight that day was because Xu Jia said that Bai Cheng was so good-looking, and his mother was also… verbally insulted his mother.”

The teacher was stunned, and after a long while he said firmly: “Impossible, Xu Jia is a good boy and a good student, it is impossible to say such a thing.”

Hearing this, Mo Li smiled, good boy, good student?

“Teacher, do you know why I hit Xu Jia this time?” Mo Li raised his hand and covered his lower lip, cursing his smile and said slowly: “Xu Jia threatened me with words at noon. Not only that, but when I came back to the classroom just now, he was grabbing Bai Cheng’s collar and attacking Bai Cheng.”

“Now I ask you, I beat Xu Jia, is there a problem?”

…………………

Translator has something to say: Although I don’t condone violence, but this Xu Jia …. serves him right.

A big disaster

Xu Jia could see that Mo Li, a transfer student, had an unusual attitude towards Bai Cheng.

Since he can’t find Mo Li trouble now, he will find some for Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng was just picking up the rag to wipe the table, but Xu Jia came over and stepped on the rag, Bai Cheng was still holding, without saying a word. At the same time, he said triumphantly: “What are you doing in such a hurry to destroy the evidence?”

He looked at Bai Cheng, and it was funny when he saw Bai Cheng’s cold face but didn’t dare to say a word. He let Bai Cheng and Mo Li run away last time, and he was full of anger. He originally wanted to teach them a lesson today, but he didn’t expect to be slapped in the face by Mo Li in public. ho lo lo novels. He couldn’t take it anymore.

Bai Cheng looked down at the rag he stepped on under his feet, pursed the corner of his lower lip, and said nothing. It’s a pity that Xu Jia didn’t intend to let him go like this, grabbed his collar and sneered: “Look at you, you really have no father to support and no mother to teach. No one teaches you what politeness is. I will teach you.”

Bai Cheng clenched his fists fiercely, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed Xu Jia’s wrist and his expression instantly filled with anger: “Keep your mouth clean!”

“Ohhhh, so you want to do something to me huh?” Xu Jia smiled, pointed to his face and said, “Come on, try it. I tell you, if you dare to do something to me, this time I can make your mother kneel down and kowtow to me, understand?”

Wu Shi, who was on the side, even laughed out loud when he heard this, obviously remembering the last time Bai Cheng knelt down, his eyes were full of contempt.

On the other hand, Bai Cheng’s face was almost white and transparent. He clenched his teeth, his eyes were scarlet with despair, and his tense body even trembled. The blood seeping out in his mouth made him nauseous, he swallowed hard, and finally let go of the hand that was holding Xu Jia.

The next second Xu Jia kicked him in the stomach.

Bai Cheng lowered his head, but then, he heard a familiar voice: “It’s the first time I’ve heard such a cheap threat.”

What followed was Xu Jia’s wailing screams.

He looked up quickly and saw that Mo Li was holding Xu Jia’s hair with one hand as if he was just picking up a chicken, his expression was not so fierce, but the other hand slapped Xu Jia fiercely.

“Want someone to beat you? Come on, I’ll satisfy you and let you have enough.”

Everyone in the class was stunned.

Bai Cheng was also stunned. He quickly regained his senses and was about to speak, but Mo Li seemed to be aware of it and looked over at Bai Cheng, raising his chin slightly and said: “Go sit down and don’t get involved.”

At the same time, Wu Shi roared loudly and rushed over to grab Mo Li’s arm, screaming: “Mo Li, you are crazy, you openly beat up your classmates in the middle of the class?!”

Who would have thought that Mo Li would give him a kick when he lifted his leg. He was a little over 1.8 meters tall and had long legs, and Wu Shi was kicked away without even able to touch the corner of his clothes.

“A blind thing call me I’m crazy? I think your blindness and brain are inherited from your ancestors for eighteen generations. There’s no help.”

Mo Li moved his hands and did not forget to sneer. Seeing that Xu Jia tried to grab his clothes with his dirty hands to resist, he pressed Xu Jia’s head on the table with his backhand, aimed his heavy and fast fist directly at Xu Jia face, and smashed down.

If it wasn’t for Bai Cheng pulling him in a panic, he might have really killed someone.

Looking down at Xu Jia with blood on his face, Mo Li’s consciousness finally broke free from the violence. He sighed, he doesn’t have any drugs to suppress the stuffiness in his chest, he lost Bai Cheng for a long time, and this situation made him very emotional.

He turned around and hugged Bai Cheng subconsciously. When his irritable mood gradually calmed down and his heartbeat returned to a normal speed, he had to try hard to pull away from Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng, who was suddenly hugged by Mo Li, was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to struggle, he noticed Mo Li’s trembling hands, he sighed and patted him on his back, just as he was soothing his frightened little brother.

“I’m going to tell the teacher!” The frail Wu Shi finally got up from the ground reluctantly and said this. “Go.” Who knew that Mo Li, who just hurt people, didn’t feel any guilt at all. He let go of Bai Cheng and looked at Wu Shi with a smile, “go on, don’t linger like a girl.”

Wu Shi was so angry that he rushed out of the classroom in a rolling and crawling manner.

Bai Cheng didn’t know how to deal with it at this moment. He looked at Xu Jia, who was being held up by his classmates with a weak face, and he was already panicking.

When things got to this point, Xu Jia might put Mo Li in jail, but Mo Li did all this to help him. He glanced at Mo Li, who was standing in front of him, and then at Xu Jia, who was half-dead. He took a deep breath. He was still scared, but his eyes became firm.

If Xu Jia really wants Mo Li to go to jail, he will die together with Xu Jia.

…He just hoped Mo Li can help him take care of his family.

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid.”

Just when Bai Cheng was flustered and scared, Mo Li suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, his voice was calm and gentle, as if nothing had happened.

“How can it be okay, Xu Jia … he … I told you not to have anything to do with me, but you just don’t listen!”

Bai Cheng was angry that Mo Li had acted rashly regardless of his own safety, but he couldn’t say anything serious. After gritted his teeth and said something in a low voice, he could only turn his head away from looking at him.

Seeing this, Mo Li was a little helpless, and was about to say something when the head teacher had rushed over in a hurry. When he saw Xu Jia’s bloody face, he almost fainted.

The head teacher felt that he had been a teacher for so many years, and it was the first time that a student who had only transferred for two days had beat a classmate to this state.

He took a deep breath, then hurriedly rushed to the other classmates who were still sitting in their seats in a daze: “What are you still doing, why don’t you hurry up and send him to the infirmary!”

The classmates suddenly became energized when they heard it. They were bored all day long, and now such a thing suddenly happened. They happily helped Xu Jia to the infirmary, and they were a little excited that they didn’t have to stay in the classroom all the time; can finally breathe.

Xu Jia was stumbled and sent to the infirmary, didn’t know how many lives he still had.

The head teacher was about to ascend to heaven. So mad.

“Call your parents!” The head teacher said angrily, “Fighting right at the school, you are gonna be in big trouble!”

“Isn’t that what you’re used to, teacher?” Mo Li swept his eyes around, shrugged and smiled, “Don’t you pretend you didn’t see Xu Jia bullying others.”

These words didn’t save any face for the head teacher. The head teacher was powerless to refute Mo Li, so he could only slap the table so hard that his nails almost broke.

On the way here, he knew the cause and effect from Wu Shi’s words. His eyes landed on Bai Cheng who was standing behind Mo Li, and said even more angrily:

“Bai Cheng, it’s you again! Why didn’t you drop out of school earlier!”

Her cub ran away in a huff and puff.

Shen Cheng was puzzled for a moment: Could it be that the AI program is not allowed to say the word “mother”? But she really is a fan of her own mother.

Feeling wronged.jpg

“You come back, you come back, I won’t be naughty anymore.”

Shen Cheng really didn’t expect that a teasing remark would make her own little character run away in anger. She looked at the line of small characters displayed on the image, which read “Li Weilan thinks you are insincere and left in anger”, feeling lost in the wind.

…To be honest, if the game is like this, she will lose interest. Being too arrogant to leave her with a blank space, what else is there for her to play?

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

Wuwuwu, after waiting for a while and seeing the picture still displaying “Li Weilan is in self-seclusion”, she didn’t know how long it would take to change, so Shen Cheng could only give up the idea of continuing to play the interactive storyline and sulkily went to harvest rice in the space.

Now her game interface has many more functions than it did at the beginning.

The top row includes “Characters”, “Base”, “Home”, “Automated Trading System”, and “Store”.

Now the “Characters” section is arrogantly blacked out, so Shen Cheng clicked on the “Base” button to take a look.

The buildings in the Noah base are still very simple, with only ten ordinary rooms in the accommodation area, five of which are currently displayed as “occupied”.

Li Weilan has one room to himself, while 20 girls are crowded into two rooms. Xi Nan and Xi Bei share a room, and the other room is occupied by the little hooligan Xiao Chu, who, along with Li Weilan, is one of only two people who live alone.

In addition to the accommodation area, the only areas currently open in the base are the “Warehouse,” “Water Treatment Room,” and “Cafeteria.” With these three areas, the base’s happiness level has reached 80%, showing that it has been sustained for three days, and the next functional room, the “Hydroponic Room,” can be unlocked.

As a fan of management simulation games, Shen Cheng is quite clear about the routine: in any case, the happiness of the residents in the base must be ensured in order to unlock subsequent functional rooms one by one — of course, paying money can also do the trick once and for all.

However, opening the 【hydroponic room】 requires 999 gold, equivalent to 999 yuan (about $154 USD). As Shen Cheng looked at the increasingly expensive and luxurious rooms that followed, ranging from the “cheapest” hydroponic room worth 999 yuan to the most expensive entertainment facility (9999 yuan), she fell into a self-doubting silence: she would need a fortune to be able to afford all of these by just spending money in the game, right?

She opened the 【hydroponic room】, but after placing it, it showed that it could not produce anything. Shen Cheng clicked on it and immediately a line of small text appeared in the upper right corner: 【1. Arrange plant-type ability users for room production (uncompleted) 2. Confirm plant production type (requires controller confirmation)】

It seems that even if she spent money, she couldn’t completely solve the problem of plant-type ability users.

Okay, take it slow.

Shen Cheng closed the base, entered “home”, and continued to work to earn more coins.

Including the 50 gold she earned from sweeping the mission earlier, and selling this batch of harvest, Shen Cheng’s game coins unusually reached the milestone of 100 gold. As a gold master who had her first three-digit sum of money, how should she spend this money?

She opened the store and looked at it for a while, but in the end, she hesitated and closed it: the game’s AI seemed sophisticated, and part of this money came from her cub. She didn’t want to upset her cub and make him run away with just one sentence. Instead, she thought about what he wanted and tried to please him.

Shen Cheng pondered for a moment and suppressed her thoughts of spending money. Just as she was about to close the game store, she suddenly saw a today’s special offer that completely met her needs!

【Universal point for all major bases in the game: 100,000 points】

Due to today’s special offer, it is a limited-time and one-time purchase with a very low price, which rounds to almost free: 1 gold coin! Once the promotion time is passed, it won’t be available anymore!

If it were available all the time, someone might hesitate to buy it considering the market price for in-game items. After all, completing a sweep task only earns 59 gold coins. However, today’s special price is only 1 gold coin. If you don’t buy it, you’re a fool to miss such a great deal!

When something is so cheap or basically free, buy, buy, buy! If you don’t buy, you’re losing out!

Shen Cheng clicked on the item and purchased it, placing it in her cub’s inventory. She rubbed her hands together, wondering if her cub would be happy to see this “credit card” that he could use to buy, buy, buy! In reality, if a CEO gave her a credit card worth a billion dollars, she would kneel down and call him daddy, and then happily buy the entire game to raise her cub. If her cub wasn’t satisfied with the card, there was nothing she could do but keep trying to please him.

Shen Cheng logged out of the game.

She closed her phone and only then did she realize the noise around her. She frowned uncomfortably and listened carefully, only to hear the teasing voices of a man and a woman next door.

What’s going on?

She thought about it for a moment and frowned slightly. After the experience with her previous landlord, she had learned her lesson and knew that it was best to have a female roommate if she wanted to live with someone. This time, her roommate was a girl who seemed gentle and well-behaved. Before moving in, she had asked her about visitors, and the girl had said that her boyfriend occasionally came to see her but never stayed overnight. That’s why Shen Cheng paid the rent.

What’s going on? Did the boyfriend come to see her?

Just moved in on the first day…

Shen Cheng smelled an unreliable scent.

But on the first day of cohabitation, she couldn’t just knock on someone’s door directly. It would seem like she was being too pushy. Shen Cheng suppressed her uneasiness and understood one fact in her heart: there are too many weirdos in the world, or she have a physique that attracts weirdos. It’s just that if you are a low-income person and you are spinning in a small circle, it’s particularly easy to encounter other weirdos.

Ultimately, the only way to permanently solve this problem, whether in a game or in reality, is to spend money to recharge.

Shen Cheng put on earplugs full of thoughts and tried to sleep.

***

The mysterious person’s response really angered Li Weilan. If she didn’t answer, it would be okay. He could understand that she might have difficulties and couldn’t reveal her identity. As long as she said it was inconvenient, he would not continue to ask, but why did she claim to be his “mother”?

Her voice didn’t sound that old!

Moreover, his mother had died a long time ago! Her bones were cold.

He was angry all the way and walked like he had angry background music playing.

Xi Nan had something to say to him, but seeing his current appearance, he didn’t dare to speak. He carefully stuck himself to the wall on the side of the road, wishing to stick himself into a sheet of paper to avoid being seen.

However, Li Weilan noticed.

He stopped his steps, barely suppressing the anger still surging in his heart, took a glance at the somewhat timid Xi Nan, calmed his temper, and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”

“Well…” Xi Nan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Li Weilan’s still bleeding hand, carefully considered his words and said, “Brother Li, why don’t you go and treat your wound first?”

Li Weilan looked at his hand and felt even more depressed.

Even Xi Nan noticed it.

But the person who claimed to be his mother didn’t even pay attention to this. She used to be careful to dress his wounds… This time, she was right in front of him, but…

Li Weilan felt helpless.

In the end, wasn’t it because she didn’t care about him?

Please don’t give false hope in the first place if you don’t care about others.

He tried to lift his spirits and looked at Xi Nan, “It’s just a small injury. I’ll be fine soon. Don’t worry. What do you want to tell me?”

Xi Nan seemed worried and glanced at him hesitantly, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Well, if he fought with his girlfriend… Oh no… benefactor, then their base would be affected. Li Weilan didn’t seem like someone who could coax people, which was really frustrating!

Xi Nan was worried sick and felt like he had been worrying for nothing.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Brother Li, I’m here to ask for help with my sister’s illness.”

Li Weilan remembered this matter.

The first time he met Xi Nan and Xi Bei, Xi Nan knelt down and begged him for a piece of mutant animal meat.

Regular consumption of mutant beast meat can only be done by the ability users, which means that Xi Bei should be an ability user originally.

But Xi Bei doesn’t seem like a normal person.

Xi Nan protected his sister tightly. Before they settled down officially, Li Weilan didn’t want to bring it up. Now that Xi Nan has mentioned it himself, Li Weilan nodded and asked, “Is your sister a second or third order ability user?”

The mutant wolf meat they ate last time was fourth order. Fourth order wolf meat is only effective for ability users of the same level or below. Moreover, every three level is a major level, and there are some special promotion tests. Judging from Xi Bei’s current situation, it doesn’t seem like she has reached fourth order.

But if she was only a first order, Xi Nan wouldn’t have come to him so seriously.

Xi Nan nodded, “My sister is a third order plant-type ability user.” He hesitated for a moment and said earnestly, “The hydroponic room in our base must be controlled by a plant-type ability user in order to start producing plants. Now, plant-type ability users are in high demand in all major bases, and it may not be easy to recruit them. If my sister can regain consciousness, she can also ease the urgent need in the base.” Plant-type ability users can cultivate plants — although most mutated plant are not tasty after being exposed to pollution, they can still be used to fill the stomach. Some plant-type ability users even carry low-contamination seeds with them, which are even more in demand.

Xi Nan originally wanted to see what the hydroponic room in Noah Base was like. Who knew that they couldn’t even get in without a plant-type ability user — the only door-opening permission was still in Li Weilan’s hands. So when Xi Nan tentatively said these words, he didn’t have too much confidence.

“Can you make decisions for your sister?” Li Weilan didn’t agree to treat Xi Bei, but instead asked a practical question.

He couldn’t cure Xi Bei himself.

He wasn’t a healing-type ability user, but he had seen how powerful that person’s healing medicine was. He wasn’t worried about her ability, but he couldn’t let her suffer a loss.

Such medicine couldn’t be given for no reason.

First, discuss the cost of treatment. He will then ask her if she is willing to be saved. If she is unwilling or cannot be saved, he will naturally handle it.

Xi Nan was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and shining brightly. “Of course, my sister and I are as close as one person. Since I have decided to stay, no matter what, my sister will stay with me. Although her plant-type ability has relatively weak attack power, the fruit she ripens is sweet and juicy. In the past, she mainly used her ability to stimulate plant growth, but she sold all the ripened plants to support ourselves. As long as my sister recovers, she will be in charge of all the plants in the base!”

Li Weilan frowned slightly. After the apocalypse, each type of ability had its own direction. With the current talent shortage in Noah, they needed more attack and defense-type abilities. The base was built underground, naturally serving as a barrier against zombie smell. However, in the event of a human attack, they still needed to recruit abilities for defense.

However, plant-type abilities were indeed important to Noah’s current base. Planting food was a high-demand commodity in any major base.

With these two siblings, one with a water-type ability and the other with a plant-type ability, if they both stayed, it would ensure long-term supply of resources for Noah.

The things in his space could not be seen by others for the time being. The base’s supplies still have to be relied on ability users working hard in the “hydroponic room” and “purification room” for the long run.

He pondered for a moment and asked, “What’s wrong with your sister?”

His tone suddenly changed, and Xi Nan immediately noticed it.

There was a hint of joy in his eyes, but it quickly turned into a faint sadness. He sighed and said, “Brother Li, my sister’s ability went out of control mainly because of me. Previously, we were in the Tenglong Base…”

Li Weilan’s expression slightly changed at this point.

He repeated: “Tenglong?”

Tenglong Base is one of the largest and most popular bases near Noah. However, the base is not famous for its resources, but for the fact that in Tenglong, only ability users are considered a “person,” while ordinary people without abilities are either slaves or pigs.

If it were not for the fact that these ordinary people still have the potential to give birth to future ability users and humans cannot go extinct in their generation, the status of those ordinary people would probably be even worse.

Xi Nan is a water-type ability user, with not very strong attacking power. And Xi Bei’s ability is also biased towards planting. In other words, both of them are considered “life ability users.” In Tenglong Base where force is supreme, they would be at the bottom of the hierarchy among ability users.

However, this is not the reason for Li Weilan’s solemn expression.

Shen Cheng’s move is over.

She received her deposit and last month’s rent from the landlord and got a tearful apology as well. She moved to a slightly farther but cheaper new apartment, and surprisingly, her wallet wasn’t impacted at all. She was really happy!

After checking her savings, she was prepared to spend some money on her game account. She was thankful to her cub who set a good example for her on how to make bad people fall into traps and get revenge. Otherwise, she would have never stood up for herself, given her previous tendency to avoid conflicts.

However, when she logged into the game, she saw her cub had requested control of the base.

She thought, “This is your base, silly boy. Why do you need to ask?”

Of course, she agreed with his request and pressed “Y” on the keyboard.

Immediately, Li Weilan received a notification in the base:

“Li Weilan, management of the base has been fully transferred to you. Please enter the member list and base whitelist/blacklist for access control. For other settings and base permissions, please go to the control room.”

The mechanical voice was flat and unemotional, unlike the gentle female voice Li Weilan had heard before. However, after hearing the notification, Li Weilan’s expression changed slightly.

On the side, Xie Nan and Yan Hongyu, who had been skeptical of Li Weilan’s statement that “there’s someone else who owns the base,” were shocked. They exchanged a glance and confirmed that Li Weilan’s “kind and powerful” person indeed existed and wasn’t a lie.

Xi Nan had a thought: If that person is really that powerful, is there hope for his sister’s illness?

After all, they confirmed before the meeting that there was not even a single person nearby during the meeting. The fact that the prompt from the base came so timely in a situation where nobody could be eavesdropping made them think that it couldn’t be just a coincidence!

That person is really that capable! Brother Li isn’t deceiving them!

Li Weilan was even more surprised.

He didn’t expect that person to make such a decision.

He already had control over the control room, which was enough. But now that person has given him the entire base? Does she not want it anymore? Does she not want to be involved anymore?

Could it be because she was disappointed in him, dissatisfied with his previous actions of breaking his promise, and didn’t show it before to save his face, but now she is using practical actions to tell him that she wants to give up?

No!

If she doesn’t care anymore, what is he going to do with this base?

On what grounds does she have to leave without even showing her face?

After a series of logical deductions, Li Weilan’s complexion turned pale.

Yan Hongyu and Xi Nan both saw him almost panic-stricken. Then this man, who they always thought was calm and collected, pounded the extremely hard base wall with a punch. There was a “bang” sound, and a block of the wall made of an unknown material sank. His hand was bleeding profusely, but the man seemed to be completely oblivious to it. After this punch, he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and calmly said, “I’ll go to the control room.”

“Brother Li seems unhappy.” Yan Hongyu looked at his inexplicably depressed figure disappearing at the door and whispered to Xi Nan.

“Who did Brother Li refer to when he said ‘them’? Is it the radical for ‘man’ or the radical for ‘woman’?” Xi Nan suddenly spoke in a low voice.

“!!!” Yan Hongyu’s eyes widened suddenly.

Right, why didn’t she think of that? In this apocalyptic world, how could someone be so generous to give such a big gift? Even if it’s a father-son relationship, some fathers would hold onto their power as long as they’re alive!

Brother Li’s description of that person was kind and gentle, so it should definitely refer to a woman!

Xi Nan winked at her, “Brother Li is in love!”

Yan Hongyu wasn’t interested in gossiping about her boss, but since it involved the stability of the Noah Base, she just nodded silently and felt a bit curious.

***

Li Weilan didn’t know they were gossiping about his behind his back.

In fact, even if he knew, he wouldn’t have too much energy to care about it at the moment.

He arrived at the control room and looked at the display on the setting table that read “all permissions have been granted”, and tightly clenched his fist.

Shen Cheng looked curiously at her own cub running around with sparks flying out of his head, searching for something. She found it amusing to see the sparks emitting from the little person’s head, so she couldn’t help but poke it a few times, causing the sparks to fizzle out. However, the little person’s curly hair was messed up by her actions, giving an angry look that could easily be used for cosplay.

He was furious!

Li Weilan felt a scratching sensation on top of his head, like a gentle breeze, but even though he knew it was from that person’s tenderness, he still couldn’t hide the anger deep in his heart.

With no one around and knowing that she was there, he finally voiced his deepest complaint: “You don’t care about me anymore? Noah is yours, and I can’t take credit for something I didn’t do!”

When a line of bubble text appeared above his head, Shen Cheng read it and was momentarily stunned: Who is my little one talking to?

Huh? He’s talking about me? There’s no one else here, right? Is he talking to me?

This game is too intelligent, isn’t it? My cub can even interact with me? Shen Cheng’s heart softened.

Shen Cheng was a bit puzzled: But… Noah was always meant for you!

Um…but how can I convey that to my cub? The game doesn’t even have a dialogue option?

Shen Cheng was feeling a bit defeated as she searched around with the camera.

At first, Li Weilan patiently waited for her response. However, as time passed by, he finally let out a long sigh.

Maybe he was thinking too much.

She had never shown her face from start to finish, so it was likely that she didn’t trust him. Even though he had gone through a lot in his own mind, it may have been just a small consideration from the person who saved him, not worth mentioning.

Yes, he had to accept reality.

Perhaps it was just someone’s momentary act of kindness in rescuing a stray cat or dog. Perhaps you were just one of the cats or dogs observed in an experimental lab. You were cute when you acted affectionate and playful, but if you acted ungrateful or complained too much, you would become very annoying.

Li Weilan remained silent.

Shen Cheng watched as his mood shifted from anger to calm, and then to despair as if a dark cloud had settled over him. He seemed to emit a gray negative energy all over his body, making her flustered. “Wuwuwu, what’s wrong with my baby? Did he get upset with me because I didn’t come online for two days?”

She didn’t know where she had pressed her finger, but suddenly the letter “W” appeared on the screen in the control room.

“Huh?”

Shen Cheng was stunned.

Ah, she understood!

She almost jumped up: “Yes, she could move things in the game, so the keyboard in Noah’s control room was also within her reach!”

This game was really something; players had to figure everything out on their own. The game didn’t provide any explanations or interaction options with the characters, so it was not very beginner-friendly. If she hadn’t been brave enough to explore, her cub would have been waiting in vain and eventually turned black, right?

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

Could it be that the player’s failure to find interaction options leading to a decrease in cub’s intimacy was also a possible branch of options?

Thinking about it this way… Hmm, how should she respond?

Shen Cheng scratched her head: The interactive mechanism of this game should be similar to the mechanism of Siri, where keywords and responses are set up inside. So what keywords should be triggered to make cub’s mood recover a little?

While Shen Cheng was thinking, Li Weilan also saw the sudden appearance of the letter “W” on the screen.

He was stunned.

In that moment, he felt like he couldn’t even blink his eyes. He stared at the flashing cursor, his mind only had a vague thought: W? What does she mean to express?

But in the next second, the cursor moved.

The W disappeared.

Li Weilan hadn’t had time to be disappointed, but he saw the person controlling the keyboard slowly brush out a line of words: “This is your base. If it’s given to you, it’s yours.”

“!!!” He didn’t know why this time she typed instead of speaking, but when he saw this line of words, Li Weilan felt his eyes moisten slightly. He pursed his lips and protested softly, “But I… ” He paused, took a deep breath, lifted his head, his eyes bright, “But what have I done to deserve it?”

Hey! Now when you’re raising a cub, does the game also need to talk about profound meanings and make players think about such philosophical questions?

Shen Cheng tilted her head and didn’t know how to answer for a while.

It’s true, many times in this world, others don’t need a reason to be mean to you, but they need many, many reasons to be good to you.

Many people will hurt you for no reason, but when you meet someone who treats you well, you may instinctively doubt, “Does he/she have any ulterior motives? Why is he/she being nice to me?”

It’s like not being able to find a reasonable reason to accept this kindness and it makes you psychologically uneasy.

But, my dear little one, you are not someone else, you are the cub that I spent money to raise!

This question is quite interesting.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng chuckled and continued typing on the keyboard.

On the screen in front of Li Weilan, a line of words slowly flashed.

He read it word by word, and his face turned green.

“Of course…it’s because…I am…your…mom!”

“???”

“!!!!”

Teaching the class

Bai Cheng was stunned.

It was true that some people did this when Xu Jia first targeted him, but these people just wanted to see how he resisted, and they quickly became bored when they saw that he was indifferent.

Why did someone suddenly do such a thing today?

He raised his eyes and stopped on Xu Jia in the third row, and he noticed that someone was secretly observing him while talking and laughing in a low voice, and brought a rag directly from the back of the classroom to clean the table.

But when he entered the classroom, the school bell has already rang, and the head teacher came in as soon as he brought the rag.

When the head teacher saw that Bai Cheng had not returned to his seat, he glared at him, and then watched Bai Cheng cleaning something on the table with a rag.

“Bai Cheng, are you still sitting down after class?” he frowned.

Bai Cheng didn’t want his school uniform to be soiled, so he was about to wipe off the dirty water and sit down when he heard Xu Jia say, “I want to report classmate Bai Cheng. He scribbled on the table during his lunch break, splashed dirty water on the table, and tried to slander us that we did it.”

The head teacher was stunned for a moment, stepped down from the podium, and grabbed Bai Cheng’s arm as he was wiping the table, you could vaguely see some abusive words written on it.

“Bai Cheng!” The teacher frowned, “How old are you to do such a thing, is it childish or not?”

Bai Cheng opened his mouth, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Jia’s triumphant look, and also noticed that Xu Jia was secretly watching Mo Li’s direction from the corner of his eyes.

At the same time, Mo Li stood up.

“Teacher,” he said, “I’ve never heard of anyone who tries to frame others by dirtying their own desk.”

The head teacher had habitually trusted Xu Jia, and when he heard this, he was about to speak, when Bai Cheng had already hurriedly said, “I did it.”

As he said that, he wiped the table with force, threw the rag beside the table, put his hand in the pocket of the school uniform, and looked at the head teacher with a tugging attitude.

When Xu Jia bullies others, he likes to see the bullied person resisting. The more intense the resistance, the happier he is. Read only on ho lo lo novels yeah? Because no matter what the final result is, with his family’s superior status, Xu Jia will definitely be the winner.

Xu Jia was smashed by Mo Li with a book before, and he still remember it. Splashing dirty water on the desk today was just a teaser, just to lead Mo Li to come forward.

When Mo Li was in his early years in the previous life, Xu Jia’s plan would have definitely worked against Mo Li.

The head teacher was angry with Bai Cheng’s attitude, so he pointed outside and told Bai Cheng to get out of class. “Where did you learn this kind of gangster attitude? If you want to be a gangster, don’t come to school!” He said with a look of disgust, “As expected, the mud can’t support the wall.”

Bai Cheng paused at his feet and left the classroom at a faster speed without a change in his expression.

The head teacher used to have expectations for him, but it was only when his grades got worse and worse that he gave up on him.

Besides, he can no longer drag Mo Li down.

It’s just that Bai Cheng didn’t expect Mo Li to come out after he had just stood outside for a minute.

“What are you doing coming out?!” He glared at Mo Li.

“To take you in.” Mo Li took him by the arm and entered the door, calmly ignoring everyone’s gaze, he walked Bai Cheng to his seat and let him sit down.

The head teacher’s face was flushed with anger, and he pointed at Mo Li and shouted angrily: “Mo Li what do you mean!”

“Teacher, we came to the school to study in class, not to be punished by standing outside. If you have any punishment, let’s say after class, don’t delay our class.” Mo Li raised his hand and said lazily, “You can punish me whatever you want after class. “

The head teacher choked, glared at Mo Li viciously and said, “What’s wrong with me punishing the students? You can stop me if you have the ability!”

Who would have thought that the daring Mo Li would actually nod his head, go straight to the blackboard, and looked at the class teacher: “What are you teaching today?”

The head teacher was about to be laughing out of anger by Mo Li, he pointed to a page in the textbook and sat next to the podium: “Let me tell you, if you can’t teach well today, I will make a person like you get kicked out of school with all my teaching qualifications for so many years.”

Facing the shocked gazes of the whole class, Mo Li seriously talked about the content of the subject. In fact, the second year of high school has already finished the contents that should be taught. Except for a few subjects that have some content left, other subjects have already started doing review questions.

He went straight out of the script and simply wrote a series of chemical equations on the blackboard, accompanied by his calm and low voice: “This kind of question just looks complicated, but as long as we write the chemical formula of the reactant on the scratch paper in advance, analyze the ions participating in the reaction, and the ions to be left, see—”

His handwriting is very beautiful, he marked it twice, wrote the correct answer on the blackboard, and didn’t even read the answer in advance. The speed was staggering.

Xueba’s thinking is clear and precise. He is obviously just a student, but his seriousness makes people involuntarily quiet down and listen to him. (T/N: xueba = study god)

If it wasn’t for Mo Li still wearing the school uniform, it would seem that there is no difference from what the teacher would say and his.

The head teacher gradually calmed down from the anger at the beginning, and gradually eased his expression, and began to listen to Mo Li.

Sitting in front of Mo Li’s desk, Bai Cheng looked at the textbook he opened, listened to Mo Li’s explanation, and tried to solve the problem, and he really solved it smoothly.

He didn’t dare to scribble on Mo Li’s question book, but just recited the answer in his mind, staring blankly at the textbook, his eyes turned red for some reason.

But how could Xu Jia let Mo Li shine so brightly, so he stood up and asked for trouble, “It’s simple, but I don’t know what to do with the ions and electrons of the chemical formula?”

Mo Li smiled, pointed to the textbook in front of Xu Jia, and said solemnly in his cello-like voice: “You can find it in the book, and you can memorise it using your brain. If you have no hands and no brains, you are welcome at the Welfare Institute for the Disabled next door.”

“You!” Xu Jia’s angry voice changed.

But Mo Li ignored Xu Jia directly, looked up at the other students and said: “next question.”

After class, Bai Cheng was forgotten by the head teacher, but Mo Li was taken to the office.

“You did good.” The head teacher raised his face and boasted reservedly. Checking Mo Li’s entrance exam results in his hand, he said in a heavy voice: “But you study well doesn’t mean you can ignore the teacher’s words and the classroom discipline! Last time, your math teacher, Teacher Wang, was mad at you, but this time you made me mad. Go back and write me an essay!”

As he was talking, he saw Mo Li’s admission results. Mo Li’s grades in every subject were close to full marks, he lost even the last bit of anger.

Regardless of whether Mo Li caused a ruckus, he should just let him go back now to study.

Mo Li’s grade in their school is simply a surprise! If you want to take the college entrance examination, someone with this result must be the number one scholar in science!

Mo Li didn’t say anything from the beginning to the end, nodded and left.

He was worried about Bai Cheng, and when he walked back quickly, he saw Xu Jia standing in front of Bai Cheng, grabbing his collar and saying something.

Next

Li Weilan noticed something strange.

The person who had helped him didn’t seem to be with him 24 hours a day.

After disappearing without a word once before, Li Weilan wasn’t as worried this time. Perhaps that person had her own things to do, and what he needed to do was help tend the crops and maintain the base while she was away.

Given her style of constantly adding things to his space, Li Weilan felt a strong urge to continue evolving his own spatial ability. Only by further evolving could he always meet her demands.

Otherwise, if she found that his space couldn’t hold any more or that he couldn’t grow the things she wanted, would she go find someone else to help?

Li Weilan was afraid of the crisis of being abandoned, but he didn’t dare to tell her about it. They were not equals; he was always the one being helped. Asking her not to abandon him would only make him clingy and unpleasant.

He couldn’t bring himself to say it.

He just stared at the mountains of supplies he had scanned from Walmart in his space, shocked to find dozens of boxes of condoms that wouldn’t even be used up before their expiration date.

Why did that person scan so many condoms?

He felt a bit embarrassed.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

Since knowing that the person was a woman, Li Weilan’s original model of her collapsed in his mind.

Now, looking at all these condoms, the mysterious, powerful, and cold image he had of her seems to have disappeared.

In this world, condoms are indeed a necessity for many people. After all, if you get pregnant after having sex, not only is your safety at risk, but you may not even be able to provide for your child’s basic needs. Watching your child starve to death in front of you is the most painful thing in this world. But what’s the use of this thing for him? Even for the Noah Base, it is completely useless!

It goes without saying that Xi Nan and Xi Bei are siblings. In addition, the 20 women who were rescued are disgusted and afraid of men, and it doesn’t look like they want to find a partner. Currently, the base has no plans to expand significantly, so these dozens of boxes of condoms are useless except for taking up space or blowing them up like balloons.

Since she wants them, just let her keep them.

Maybe she’ll need them herself someday?

As Li Weilan thought this, his eyes finally showed a slight ripple, but soon calmed down.

He entered the base’s gate and saw two female ability users guarding the first level dozing off. But as soon as they heard the sound of the door opening, they immediately woke up and stood up when they saw him, saluting him: “Brother Li.”

Li Weilan nodded and scanned the area. He had been gone for about a day and the base was already bustling with people.

In his previous base, there were few women and men had a higher status than women. In addition, only those with abilities had a certain status, making the entire base lack vitality.

But Noah Base was different.

Even if there were only twenty women other than Xi Bei, these women all knew that Li Weilan was not the kind of leader who treated them as expendable resources. He always respected them and had no malicious thoughts towards them. In this situation, although Noah Base was only in its infancy, the women had already started to fully use their aesthetic abilities, choosing their favorite rooms and decorating the hall with enthusiasm.

In this extremely scarce beauty of the apocalypse, even a small pot of flowers or a paper butterfly made with care can convey a comforting and warm atmosphere.

As Li Weilan stopped in front of the paper flowers they had made, the female guards nervously called out “Brother Li”, not knowing if he would criticize them for making the base too feminine.

They saw the tall and cold man suddenly turn around and, very rarely, show them a smile: “Very good.”

Girls all like flowers, perhaps he should also plant some in his own space? It would also improve his mood when he saw them.

“???” What did we do?

The two women looked at each other, completely unaware of what they had done to be praised by Li Weilan.

Li Weilan did not explain, but simply said to them, “Notify Yan Hongyu and Xi Nan, we will have a meeting in two hours.”

“Brother Li, do you…,” one of the girls said softly, “just came back, do you want to rest for a while?”

“No need,” Li Weilan said bluntly, “two hours is enough.”

Noah Base had a lot of work to be done, and every minute and second was a race against time with the zombie tide. If he slept for one more minute, the future danger would approach one minute closer. This was not only an extremely precious gift, but also the fruit of his labor, which he valued greatly.

Two hours later, the first meeting of Noah Base’s ability users officially began.

The first sentence that Li Weilan said when he came back startled everyone present: “This base is not mine. You can call me Brother Li, but I have to make it clear to you all that the true owner of this base is not me.”

Yan Hongyu was the woman Li Weilan had saved in that small building.

When she heard this, her eyes narrowed, and Xi Nan, who was also hearing about this for the first time, exchanged a glance with her. They both paused, and Yan Hongyu spoke first: “Brother Li, are you saying that… you’re just a proxy?”

Li Weilan didn’t hesitate and nodded.

Although that person said that Noah Base was given to him, he would never take it as his own. At least he had to make it clear where this base came from.

All of this gratitude and admiration was unwarranted.

Even if that person might not care, he still had to make it clear to the others who the true hero behind all this was.

“But…” Yan Hongyu hesitated.

She really liked Noah and the atmosphere here, even though it was just a newly established base. But everything here gave her a beautiful vision.

But if Brother Li wasn’t the owner of this base, and the true owner appeared one day with demands of their own, what would they do?

After the apocalypse, people were simply divided into two types: ability users and ordinary people.

Yan Hongyu is an ability user herself, but she is not unaware of the kind of life ordinary women live in most bases.

Except for a small number of women who were already married and whose husbands had some ability, they were just tools for giving birth, mobile uteri, or even consumables.

Brother Li is not that kind of person. They all found that Li Weilan is more like an emotionless machine, indifferent to anyone.

But this distance and coldness brings a certain sense of security to women who have already experienced too much suffering.

They don’t want to rely on the strong, they just want to live well and maintain a certain dignity.

But what if the true owner who hasn’t shown up yet… what if they want something different from Brother Li?

Yan Hongyu was restless, not only for herself but also for the other women who escaped with her.

The light in her eyes was more like expectation. She hoped for Li Weilan’s ambition and desire.

However, Li Weilan said seriously and solemnly, “Don’t think too much, that person is a good person. Noah Base was built by her in the first place, she just entrusted me to manage it.”

“!!!” Xi Nan and Yan Hongyu were shocked.

Such a large and high-tech base, just given away like that?

They both lived in the base and had personally experienced how advanced its technology was. Even the ventilation and drainage systems were not post-apocalyptic wasteland technology.

Li Weilan wouldn’t lie, so the owner of this base must really be a wealthy and capable genius, right?

Anyway, even if Li Weilan was just making excuses, this was a time to just flatter him!

Thinking of his sister’s illness, Xi Nan immediately said, “Brother Li, no matter who built the base, I will be loyal to whoever you are loyal to. I’ll follow you!”

Li Weilan smiled rarely, “No, I believe she will appear in front of you one day. I look forward to that day.”

Xi Nan resisted the shock in his heart and glanced at Yan Hongyu. He also saw the unhidden surprise on her face.

An ability user who was considered to be strengthened mentally, but expressed this kind of trust without any reserve towards another person who had never appeared before, and they couldn’t even see a trace of ambition or desire for power. They really couldn’t understand.

They could only trust him and believe that the true owner of the Noah Base was really a person as strong and kind as he said.

Li Weilan finished the most important matter and finally turned the topic back to business, “There are several things that need to be done in the base recently. You have already assigned all the rooms in the base, which is good. Please report the number of vacant rooms that can be occupied. We need to establish a small base on the ground to facilitate the reception of people who want to enter the base. After completing the basic exploration on the ground, they will be eligible to enter the main base.”

After discussing the main issue, Xi Nan and Yan Hongyu both nodded seriously. In order to develop Noah Base, they naturally needed to recruit people. Many of the rooms in the base have specific requirements for abilities, and currently they are unable to meet them, resulting in doors that cannot be opened.

For example, the hydroponics room requires people with plant-based abilities to enter, while the water purification room requires people with water-based abilities. Currently, only Xi Nan can barely meet the base’s drinking water needs, but further demands cannot be met.

Currently, heating water and other tasks are completed through the use of fire-based abilities, and there is only Yan Hongyu with this ability in the base. Therefore, recruitment has already been put on the agenda.

However, Xi Nan and Yan Hongyu both know that many of the base’s black technology cannot be directly exposed to the public, so the choice in this matter is a relatively big issue.

The plan proposed by Li Weilan is indeed a temporarily safe solution.

When Shen Cheng came online, the system happened to pop up a new prompt: “Li Weilan is applying to you for independent recruitment permission. Agree or not: Y/N.”

The young man’s voice trembled, but just as he was speaking, the progress bar for the “Explore Walmart” mission in front of Shen Cheng jumped to 10%. Suddenly, the older man next to him said, “Do you think he’ll spare you if you tell him everything? Don’t forget, you’re also involved!”

The young man’s voice trailed off. He swallowed nervously, looking at the sharp blade in front of him, and said softly, “I’m very scared. If you promise to spare my life, I’ll tell you everything. This plant is really powerful, it’s the fruit of our labor, we spent several years cultivating it in our laboratory… even if you destroy half of it, it might still survive if you take care of it. Please spare my life, and I’ll tell you everything.”

“???” Shen Cheng in front of the screen took a gulp of water. In the game, Li Weilan seemed to freeze too. The game stopped. A game option popped up on Shen Cheng’s screen:

“[Young researcher uses his life as a bargaining chip to exchange for clues about the ‘unknown plant’. Please choose:]

A. Promise him and spare his life.

B. Refuse and kill him.

C. Be ambiguous and decide after hearing him out.”

“???” Shen Cheng was in a dilemma. If she chose A and later found out about the evil deeds of these two, she, who wasn’t good at scheming against people, would probably feel heartbroken and uninstall the game.

Choose option B, it is obvious that this task cannot continue. Although exploring Walmart is a daily task, the cub has worked hard to push the task progress to this point. It is unfair to the cub just because of her moral principles that the task is ruined, isn’t it?

But option C is the most unclear and ambiguous among the options… How can it be ambiguous?

Shen Cheng hesitated for a moment, but finally followed her heart and chose option C.

When Li Weilan heard the young researcher say this, he actually felt amused in his heart.

He was originally planning to refuse outright when he heard it, but at this moment, a soft and gentle voice, but with an irresistible force, suddenly came into his ear: “Promise him.”

The speaker was a woman!

A woman?

It turned out to be a woman?

Moreover, judging from the soft tone of the voice, the speaker was a young, gentle, and pretty woman!

In this moment, all of Li Weilan’s previous guesses about the mysterious person collapsed.

All of his previous estimates became wrong in the face of this suddenly appearing voice.

Li Weilan’s eyes were turbulent, and he glanced at the two researchers in front of him, but saw that the young man under his knife was still waiting for his reply.

Li Weilan didn’t want to go against the will of the person who had saved him, so he agreed to the young researcher’s request with one breath: “Okay, I promise you, I will never personally harm your life.”

The young researcher breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the words. He was about to say something when the elderly person lying below suddenly spoke with a gloomy cold smile, “Wang Tao, you’re not that naive, are you? He said he won’t harm you with his own hands, but that doesn’t mean he will let you leave safely! How many things have we done? Do you think anyone will spare you if you confess everything?”

Not good!

Shen Cheng also noticed the language trap in Li Weilan’s words. Now that the old man had seen through it at a glance, and the expression of the young man had turned into suspicion, the situation was deteriorating rapidly. Li Weilan suddenly laughed coldly and said, “I’m not as despicable as you guys! If you’re not reassured, I swear! If you tell no lies, no deception, and I still harm you by any means, then I will be punished to have no place to live and no place to die.”

Hearing him say such harsh words, the young man kicked the elderly person with some resentment: forcing such a big shot to take such an oath, he could no longer hold onto the thigh. It wouldn’t have come to this if it weren’t for this old man who had done so much mischief and thought everyone was like him.

The elderly researcher grunted. Obviously, he wasn’t very strong, and he had said everything he could to incite. Seeing Li Weilan even say such harsh words, he couldn’t help but doubt his own judgment: did he really get it wrong? The killing intent that flashed in the man’s eyes just now was clearly as clear as day!

With no more scruples, the young man pointed to the plant that was barely alive and sighed with some regret, “This tree was a graft of a pitcher plant in our research institute before the end of the world. Its late mutation direction was very strange, consuming protein such as rotten meat, bones, and producing a new kind of food for us to eat.”

With the young researcher’s words, Li Weilan quickly learned what had happened in Walmart.

These two researchers are responsible for taking care of this tree. At first, they only knew that there was a large amount of rotten meat in the Walmart freezer. They brought the tree over and secretly fed it a little every day. The white block-like substance that grew from it after absorption was called “Mana” by them.

At first, the plant’s aggression was weak, so they only dared to keep it in the room and occasionally brought two zombies over to feed it. Once it had a full meal, they had food for themselves as well.

However, as the plant grew, it needed more and more nutrients. They later discovered that once it swallowed an ability user, the “Mana” it produced would be enough for them to eat for a month. It was a white, rice-like food that was not easily spoiled, and it had been their food source for more than a year.

So…every ability user who came to Walmart for exploration was provided to the plant by them.

“You don’t understand,” the older researcher sneered. “We’re not just eating for ourselves. I’ve studied it. The food it produces has high nutritional value, is not easily spoiled, and it has a certain self-protection ability. It also seems to recognize us researchers and has no malice or threat towards us. Isn’t it the savior of humanity’s future? Now you’ve destroyed half of it with one cut. What you’ve destroyed is not just a plant, but the future of all humanity! Since you’re a supernatural being, you’re stronger than us and can easily bring zombies to feed it instead of having to do what we do…if there were a choice…”

Before he finished his words, Li Weilan’s knife flashed and the head on the older researcher’s neck fell off. His eyes were still wide open, as if he hadn’t expected his death to come so suddenly.

“Ah, ah, ah, teacher!” The young researcher screamed in fear, trembling all over, and angrily rebuked, “You promised…”

“I only promised you,” Li Weilan coldly sneered.

He turned his face slightly, as if to listen to the voice that had just given him instructions, but the voice disappeared like a fleeting moment, as if it was just his illusion.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

The person didn’t speak again.

Li Weilan smiled slightly instead: “Since that person didn’t say anything, I assume she has no objections to my methods.”

“That’s good.”

His murderous intent was still brewing inside him. If that person tried to stop him from adhering to his principles, then he would have to part ways with her from now on. It was a pity to think about it.

“But now it’s just right.”

A slight smile appeared on his handsome face.

He picked up young the researcher with one hand and grabbed some engine oil from his space . He poured the oil all over the tree trunk, which was barely alive but still breathing. He lit a fire and the tree screamed.

Piercing, sharp.

However, the faces on the tree trunk slowly closed their eyes.

Shen Cheng watched this scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only now did she seem to fully understand that the cub she had raised had an inner beauty that was more attractive than his appearance.

For the survivors struggling in the apocalypse, the temptation to trade zombies for food was evident from the appearance of these two researchers.

If it were someone else, they might have left them alive and traded them for long-term food exchanges. But how could the dead on the tree trunk rest in peace? Would the tree, having eaten rotting flesh, also eat living people when the rotting flesh runs out? Ethically, the mana these two researchers ate was almost equivalent to human flesh!

The cub may have lost something, but his current behavior made his mother proud.

【Exploring the Secrets of Walmart Supermarket: Completed】

The task prompt appeared at the right time.

【Gold obtained from this sweep: 50 gold】

【Please note: Due to player choice, this sweep location will permanently close in 10 minutes. Please exit the map within ten minutes.】

Ah, only ten minutes! Shen Cheng hurriedly poked Li Weilan, wanting to grab the little person and quickly run around the supermarket.

After Li Weilan reached this floor, the entire map became clear. There were some daily necessities on the other levels, such as towels, basins, clothes, and so on. Anyway, the cub’s space could still hold them, so she quickly swept! Ten minutes! Time waits for no one!

Li Weilan felt someone push him and couldn’t help but smile again.

He turned around and saw the young researcher squatting in front of the plant like a lost soul. He lost his boiling killing intent and waved his hand. The sand in his space fell down, blocking the door behind him.

The young researcher looked at the tightly sealed door and the trees screaming and twisting in the fire. He realized that something was wrong, but the door was sealed tightly, and he couldn’t get out.

“Little scammer…” Shen Cheng poked the cub’s back and murmured softly, looking at the little person who seemed unaffected, feeling a little frustrated.

This time, Li Weilan heard it again.

He heard her complaints.

He didn’t know why, but he softly retorted, “I gave them two chances, but once bitten twice shy. I let them go today, but someone will be unlucky in the future, and I will become their accomplice…” He muttered, feeling silly explaining himself like this and wrinkled his brows with self-loathing, not saying anything more.

Shen Cheng looked at the bubbles popping above his head and felt a flutter in her heart. She poked him again.

The cub wasn’t a good person! But…what should she do when she liked him a little more?

Shen Cheng’s heart beat rapidly as she frantically swept the remaining resources in the supermarket and reviewed the cub’s actions. Then, she realized belatedly, “Hmmm, it seems that this tactic could also be effective against the landlord!”

Li Weilan sat up. The scene that greeted him in the room made him frown.

There were an old man and a young man who had just spoken. They were both as thin as skeletons, and from their clothes and emaciated appearance…were they researchers?

When they saw him wake up and open his eyes, both the old and young men seemed to be surprised, with the same look of astonishment on their faces.

Why were they surprised?

Li Weilan thought about it and guessed what had happened.

He had pretended to be nauseous earlier and held his breath when the green gas was sprayed. He didn’t inhale any of it. But if he had been affected by the pervasive smell of decay and relaxed his guard because he didn’t see any monsters on the second floor, would he have woken up now?

These two people looked like they had been here for a long time, living on what? He had heard that many ability users had gone missing in this supermarket. What role did they play in this process?

This dirty white robe stirred up Li Weilan’s darkest memories. He didn’t trust researchers.

The old man looked at him and saw that his eyes were clear and asked with a complicated expression of happiness and concern, “Young man, did you inhale the gas from the monster?”

Li Weilan didn’t answer. His clear eyes gradually faded away, replaced by fatigue, weakness, and exhaustion. His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his gaze gradually became dull and blank. His lips moved and his voice was low and hoarse, “Where am I? What was that smell just now?”

“Teacher…” the younger voice whispered softly, “He doesn’t seem to be doing well.”

The older man didn’t rush to answer.

He observed Li Weilan for a while before saying cautiously, “You’re on the fourth floor. Speak a little softer, the monster is next door to us.” As he spoke, he gently pointed to the wall nearby.

Li Weilan’s face instantly showed fear: “What’s going on with me?”

“You probably inhaled the control gas from that creature,” the old man whispered, “the plant mutated. It was probably originally a carnivorous plant of the Nepenthes genus, but for some reason, it has now evolved to eat zombies, animals, and humans. Every time it eats, it can produce some control gas, which you probably inhaled.”

Shen Cheng looked at her own cub in front of the phone, clearly without any debuffs, and started to act fragile again. She didn’t quite understand what her cub was up to.

Without understanding the cub’s intentions, she couldn’t just disrupt his plan. As an ordinary person who thought her intelligence might not even match that of an AI, Shen Cheng just lightly picked up her cub’s slender fingers, even though she didn’t quite understand.

The little one’s head floated with a big question mark.

A confused look on his face.

Why is that person touching my hand?

Li Weilan’s heart trembled: he guessed that the person might still be around, but he never would have thought that the person’s way of saying “I’m still here, do whatever you want” would be to hook his fingers!

But for some reason, when he knew this, the few remaining worries in his heart disappeared, and instead a strange wave emerged.

Shen Cheng looked at him, clearly a tangled mess of emotions, but only showed a thoughtful and serious little expression. She also looked at the two people across from her with yellow symbols labeled “researcher”, and Shen Cheng couldn’t help but feel a bit strange. The group of ruthless little hooligans they encountered before were red and hostile, clearly unfriendly monsters. On the other hand, Xi Nan and their team started out friendly with blue, and later as teammates with green, even though they were holding knives at the beginning, they quickly turned enemies into friends.

This is the first time Shen Cheng has seen this yellow blood bar, and she’s a little curious: yellow? Is this the reason why her cub has been acting all along?

Just waiting for the plot to unfold on its own, Shen Cheng adjusted the camera to widen the shot a bit and looked around the floor to feel that her spirit had been contaminated.

Right next door to Li Weilan and the others, separated by a thin wall, countless swollen faces were stuck to the tree bark, like so many tumors that would make one develop trypophobia.

The tree was extremely huge, and veins on the trunk were bulging, expanding and contracting, causing the crown to break through the roof. The sunlight outside shone on the forest-green leaves, undulating in the sun. The trees that protruded from the walls outside Walmart were part of this strange tree. The faces on the trunk seemed to be sleeping with closed eyes and mouths, like warts growing on the tree.

“…” Ah ah ah! Shen Cheng almost dropped her phone! She was most afraid of these humanoid monsters, and why did she have to paint the original art of monsters so realistically while playing a simulation game!

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

She couldn’t bear to look anymore and decided to watch just the cub to wash her eyes.

Shen Cheng honestly turned the camera back to Li Weilan. The cub was now half lying down in exhaustion, and would probably have fallen to the ground if not for the support of his elbow.

As his eyes slowly opened and closed, it was clear that he could hardly hold on any longer. The old man said to him, “Take a break for a while. When that monster comes over, we will wake you up.”

Li Weilan mumbled hoarsely from his throat, “Okay.”

Even though she knew her own cub seemed to be acting, watching this scene made Shen Cheng’s heart rise to her throat. They couldn’t even find the bones of an ability user in this supermarket, and the tree was covered in faces. Did all the ability users become the nourishment for the tree? Looking at the dense lumps on the trunk, she didn’t know how many ability users were harmed. They couldn’t even defeat this tree, was her own cub really capable?

The cub really fell asleep.

After a while, the elder of the two researchers stood up and walked over to lightly tap on Li Weilan’s face with his toe. He first lightly touched it and then pressed down hard. Seeing that the other party didn’t even flinch, the elder’s yellow bar almost instantly turned red. He turned around and coldly commanded the younger person, “Take him to the next room.”

“!!!” The first time witnessing an NPC in the game tearing off their clothes and turning from neutral yellow to hostile red left Shen Cheng stunned.

This was really impressive!

But how did her own cub know that these two people had a problem? Even from her god’s perspective, she didn’t see it, but her cub was able to see through the act of these two scheming individuals with just one glance. Impressive!

There was a hidden door behind the seats where they were sitting, and the young man picked up Li Weilan, passed through the hidden door, and placed him in front of a giant tree covered in gnarls.

The elder skillfully took out a small bottle of pink liquid from his clothes and poured it slowly onto the leaves of the tree. He looked at the countless eyes on the tree that instantly opened, sighed softly, and turned to the young man, saying, “Give him to the Tree God.”

The young man put down Li Weilan.

The giant tree slowly lowered its branches and used an extremely thick giant hand to flick Li Weilan before slowly opening the coarse bark on the giant hand, revealing a layer of tender, soft, pink tissue that looked like a flower. It slowly reached out towards Li Weilan’s position.

The pink tissue slowly wrapped around Li Weilan.

The elder’s face unconsciously showed a slight smile. He looked at the trunk of the tree and turned to the young man, saying, “Today, our Mana will be coming soon…”

His voice was filled with joy, but just as he closed his eyes to wait for the next moment, he suddenly heard a cry of pain and anger from deep within the tree!

He quickly opened his eyes, wondering what was going on.

However, Shen Cheng could clearly see through her phone: just as the elder spoke these words, Li Weilan unsheathed ‘Thunder’ in his hand, and with a flash of purple lightning, he slashed off the most vulnerable part of the plant, completely severing this tender pink tissue from the trunk!

My cub is awesome, Shen Cheng praised her cub.

Li Weilan slashed down with his sword. Thunder seemed to have become a part of his body, following his every move as he wielded the blade with ease. With a single thought, the lightning skill sealed within the sword burst out and combined with his strength, the force of the strike electrocuted the tree’s extended claw into complete blackness.

Perhaps because this monster was inherently evil, it had almost zero resistance to lightning skills. With this strike, not only was its weakest point completely cut open, but the green aura that flowed from the tree’s body also vanished completely. The layer of emerald-like color faded away, leaving behind a putrid smell.

“Stop!” The old man rushed over like a mad tiger upon seeing the severe injury to the tree, but Li Weilan kicked him away and held the young man’s neck with his sword.

He said coldly, “What’s going on here? You better explain it to me.”

“Don’t don’t don’t don’t kill me…” The young man’s voice trembled. He couldn’t piece together how things had gone from being in his favor to the current situation. But he knew one thing for sure: at this point, if he confessed everything to the person in front of him, maybe they would spare his life in exchange for information about their research product.

He understood that the wise man puts his own life first. Facing the person’s blade and the fact that the experimental subject they had cultivated was obviously no match for this person, the only thing he could do was to recognize the situation and act accordingly.

“This is a plant in our research institute. It was originally our primary research subject,” he said, trembling. “After the apocalypse, it mutated.”
