Chapter 5: The Rescue Arrives

Everything in the living room was as usual.

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

She exchanged a glance with Lin Lang for a few seconds.

Lin Lang remained calm and composed.

After organizing her thoughts, she finally spoke:

"I’ve just received some news: the officials have dispatched a rescue team."

"Oh?"

Lin Lang was slightly taken aback.

"Really?"

Surprised? Actually, not really.

Just a little curious—given the current situation, what can the officials really do for rescue?

Send people to deliver supplies? The risk is incredibly high!

After all, the outdoors have become the territory of the monsters...

Lin Lang snapped back to reality and noticed Gu Fei’s face looked a bit peculiar.

He pondered briefly and immediately understood something.

He then calmly asked:

"Do you feel cheated?"

"Clearly, if you just held out for one more night, you could be rescued."

"But in the end, it benefits a stranger for no reason?"

This is understandable.

It’s like ordering a piece of clothing online, and the next second, the item goes on sale, yet the store refuses to refund the price difference!

Such a loss!

A huge loss!

It could even leave you too frustrated to eat for days!

Gu Fei said nothing, seemingly agreeing by her silence.

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

"If you don’t want to stay here, you can leave, I don’t mind."

"I can even give you some supplies to ensure you don’t starve to death in the short term."

After all, she is already tied to him.

No matter where Gu Fei goes, she can still bring back resources for Lin Lang.

In contrast, forcing a disloyal person to stay by your side is a bigger risk.

However.

Lin Lang could foresee that this official rescue might not succeed.

Even if successful, it would only be temporary.

A round of resource supply can only help these people hold on for a while longer, but it doesn’t solve the underlying problem.

The Blood Mist Crisis will inevitably continue to worsen.

Until it spirals completely out of control, rendering even the officials powerless!

By then, everything would return to square one.

Resources would still be scarce.

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

But he has a principle—

Once disloyal, never used for life!

If Gu Fei chooses to leave this time, no matter how her life turns out afterward, Lin Lang will never take her back!

He won’t feel any misplaced sense of responsibility just because he charged her once.

But.

The silence in the air lasted only a moment.

Gu Fei calmly said:

"I am already yours."

Afterward, she sat back on the sofa.

Her long legs crossed, fair-skinned and eye-catching.

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

Lin Lang couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Such a beautiful woman, with such loyalty, isn’t she your ideal type? How can you not be moved?

Moved, my ass!

Not being a three-year-old child anymore.

Shen Chuchu had long taught him a lesson—a world of adults has no such thing as ideals?

It’s all about interests!

Gu Fei is a clever woman.

She thought of the same possibilities Lin Lang did—

Resources are the key to survival in the apocalypse.

And Lin Lang is an endless treasure trove of resources!

How many resources are there with him? No one knows.

The only certainty—there’s definitely a lot!

Is it worth taking the enormous risk to collect those uncertain amounts of emergency supplies?

Or stay beside Lin Lang and continue a carefree life without worry for food and drink?

Every sane person knows which to choose, right?

Then, Gu Fei continued:

"The officials have issued an announcement. This rescue is a supply delivery, which will be transported by helicopter and dropped on the top floors of the high-rise buildings within Bright Moon City!"

"Residents should prepare, travel in groups, and work together to fend off possible Fierce Beast attacks."

"Once the supplies are collected, immediately return indoors and reasonably allocate them to nearby residents..."

After reading, she fell silent, watching Lin Lang’s reaction.

"Helicopters, huh..."

Lin Lang slightly frowned.

This sounds like a decent option—

Land plants have grown wildly, and the once flat city roads now resemble a primeval jungle, making tanks impossible to use.

But is the sky really safe?

He couldn’t stop thinking about that enormous bird that had leapt through the clouds and the blood mist...

At this moment, the internet was abuzz.

Lin Lang casually opened WeChat.

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

He ignored them all.

Even in the Xingfu District owners’ group, everyone was tagging him.

He clicked in.

The property manager of the district, Wang LianDa, was the first to forward the official news that rescue was coming.

He also specially tagged "Lin Bulang" at the bottom:

[The disaster will eventually pass, and the villain will surely be severely punished!]

A bunch of residents went wild with excitement:

[Say something, Lin Bulang!]

[You think you’re something just because you have supplies, huh? You think you’re all that? Now no one is lacking supplies, are you still cocky?]

[Idiot! Still thinking of using supplies to trade for women? Now you can’t even get an inflatable one, can you? Hahaha!]

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

...

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and they thought they were capable again.

Lin Lang wouldn’t get upset over these people.

Anyway, they’ll have their time to cry in the future!

He casually replied with one sentence:

[Good morning, everyone, had breakfast yet?]

And attached a picture of today’s breakfast.

The group exploded instantly!

Countless curses gushed out endlessly!

Before the chaos could escalate, Lin Lang hurriedly exited.

But found that Shen Chuchu’s messages kept piling up.

"This woman is really persistent."

He clicked in:

Several sixty-second voice messages, he had no interest in listening to.

And countless text messages:

[Who is that woman? Get rid of her immediately! All those supplies belong to me, you’re not allowed to share them with anyone else!]

[A woman who sleeps with you for some supplies, what kind of woman could she be? Could she be in some special line of work?]

[Lin Lang, did you catch up on the news? Hahaha!]

[The official rescue is coming soon, who cares about your measly supplies now?]

[With your income, you still think of marrying me? Pfft! People like you are only fit for prostitutes!]

...

This woman probably has a split personality, doesn’t she?

Switching smoothly between bitch and princess!

Lin Lang only replied with one sentence:

[You’re cheaper than a hooker]

Soon after, several more sixty-second voice messages came in.

...

In Shen Chuchu’s low-rent apartment.

"The hard times are finally over!"

Shen Lingtian lay on the sofa, playing a game while cursing.

"Bad luck these past few days, damn it, lost a few stars for nothing!"

His mom complained while looking in the mirror:

"Who wouldn’t say so? Look, I’ve got more spots! Ah! For us women, our face is our life!"

She turned her head to Shen Chuchu and said:

"Chuchu! Even though people are bringing supplies immediately, mom suspects there won’t be any cosmetics in there! Those rough people couldn’t be that thoughtful!"

"You should reach out to Lin Lang, he still needs to send that bird’s nest! If he dares not, we’ll add tens of thousands more to his bride price!"

Shen Lingtian also shouted:

"Exactly! Clearly, he promised to send cigarettes, how can that dog not keep his word?"

Shen Chuchu looked proud:

"Lin Lang, that idiot, thinks that by hoarding some supplies, he can become an Emperor in this apocalypse?"

"Now we don’t lack supplies anymore, doesn’t that still make him a lousy thing?"

"At this time, just give him a tiny bit of hope, and he’ll listen, won’t he?"

Her mom chuckled and said:

"Exactly! Men, that’s how you play them!"

"You shouldn’t have dumped him so early! He should still have quite a bit saved up! Maybe not fifty thousand, but at least twenty or thirty thousand!"

"Have him buy a car for Xiao Tian! So it’s convenient for Xiao Tian to go out, have fun, pick up girls!"

"Once Xiao Tian hooks a rich girl, we’ll be set for life! Hahaha!"

Shen Lingtian was also delighted.

Scratching his greasy, sparse hair.

Laughing with a hehehe.

A T-shirt with a monkey god print, wrapped around his three hundred pounds of fat, jiggling.

Vroom vroom vroom—

The sky rumbled with a sound, coming from afar and getting closer.

Shen Chuchu’s eyes lit up, pointing excitedly outside the window:

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