To my respected godfathers, please leave your brains here (the car is moving fast, it's a special bus to kindergarten, with a high risk of overturning and entering the palace, so please cherish what you see, my godfathers).
......
The summer heat was scorching, and even the air seemed distorted.
Long Country, Jiang City.
Even though it was already 7 PM, the stifling heat still made people restless.
“Lin Dong, I’m pregnant!”
Inside the community, a woman in a spaghetti strap nightgown, with a sallow complexion and rough skin, looking around 30 years old, suddenly spoke to the man in front of her.
The man was tall, with somewhat dark skin and regular features, dressed in a black courier uniform. He froze for a moment after hearing the woman's words.
“Oh, congratulations then!” Lin Dong was a bit bewildered, but still chose to congratulate her.
The woman immediately became agitated: “Don’t you plan to take responsibility?”
Lin Dong was shocked: “What responsibility? I just deliver your packages every day and leave. What does your pregnancy have to do with me?”
The woman’s eyes instantly reddened: “Scumbag, you sent me a bottle of shampoo last month. After I washed my hair, my period stopped coming. Today, I found out I’m pregnant, and you’re still saying it has nothing to do with you?”
Lin Dong: ???
Can you be any more absurd?
“Idiot!” Lin Dong cursed, turned, and ran, riding his electric scooter and fleeing the community in a hurry.
The woman chased after him, shouting: “Lin Dong, don’t think about running away from your responsibility.
According to the customs of my hometown, you have to give me 300,000 yuan as a bride price, otherwise, I’ll sue you for rape!!!”
The residents of the community immediately showed expressions of gossip.
Lin Dong fled a long distance before finally letting out a sigh of relief. He was a courier, responsible for the delivery services in the woman's community. Because the woman had many packages, they had become somewhat acquainted over time.
He never expected her to suddenly ask him to take responsibility today, which truly shattered his worldview.
Lin Dong had no intention of getting entangled with the woman, because he felt a bit sad.
Today was the day his girlfriend's... no, ex-girlfriend Zhao Yufei's postgraduate exam results were released. He didn't receive good news, only a string of cold text messages.
“Lin Dong, I’ve successfully landed, and it’s time to be clear with you about some things.
Let’s break up. You should know that we are no longer from the same world.
You’re just a courier, earning only 5,000 yuan a month, while I’m already a postgraduate student and will definitely have a bright future.
I know this is a bit cruel to you, after all, you’ve been paying for me to study for the postgraduate exam all these years, but I’ve also sacrificed several years of my youth, so we’re even.
From now on, let’s not contact each other again. That’s it.”
Heaven knows how heartbroken Lin Dong was when he saw that message.
What was even more upsetting was that she also posted on her Moments.
“In the end, I bore everything alone.”
“Poor me, please hug me.png”
He and Zhao Yufei were once an envied couple in college, a perfect match, making countless people envious.
But good times didn't last. Lin Dong's parents passed away in an accident, forcing him to drop out of school and support himself by delivering packages.
At the same time, he also had to support his girlfriend, who was determined to pursue postgraduate studies.
After much difficulty and frugality, he managed to help his girlfriend succeed, but he never expected her to kick him to the curb the very next second.
Lin Dong instinctively wanted to win her back, but after much thought, he eventually deleted the text he was about to send.
“You didn’t bear anything, I bore everything!”
Forget it, let her go.
Riding his bike to the riverside, looking at the city nightscape, Lin Dong silently smoked and felt a quiet sadness.
This life, it's really not meant for humans!
In this city, the Lin family had no relatives. After his parents passed away, his girlfriend became his only spiritual support.
Now that his girlfriend had also heartlessly kicked him away, he truly didn't know how to live his life.
【Beep!】
【Congratulations to the Host for successfully binding the Apocalypse Sign-in System.】
【In 5 hours, heavy snow will fall globally, temperatures will plummet, and humanity's living environment will become increasingly harsh. Order and rules will gradually collapse.】
【To ensure the Host's survival needs, this system will provide various sign-in rewards at 0:00 daily. Options include living supplies, weapons and equipment, materials and energy, physical enhancement, etc. The Host can choose one sign-in reward daily.】
【All selected rewards will be stored in the system space and can be retrieved at the Host's will.】
Lin Dong stood completely stunned on the spot, looking up at the starry sky.
It’s the dog days of summer right now, and I haven’t stopped sweating. And you’re telling me it’s going to snow tonight?
【Beep!】
【Today's sign-in rewards are retroactively issued, options are as follows:】
【1. Unlimited Food and Drink (including alcoholic beverages and soft drinks)】
【2. Medical First Aid Kit (contains all types of medical items available on the market, everything you could need)】
【3. One Golden Desert Eagle, equipped with unlimited magazines】
【4. A can of hairspray that makes you incredibly handsome after spraying】
Lin Dong frowned, “Is this really happening?”
If that's the case...
The first step to surviving the apocalypse is to choose disposable diapers... bah!
Of course, I'd choose food. In the apocalypse, food shortage is the most crucial problem. I didn't expect the first day's reward to include food, and unlimited at that.
“I choose 1.”
In an instant, the scene before his eyes disappeared, replaced by a subtle, profound sensation. His consciousness seemed to be connected to another space.
Is this the system space?
“Hmm... give me an iced Americano with light ice!”
Clink!
The next second, a cold cup of coffee suddenly appeared in Lin Dong's hand.
“Damn! It’s real!” Lin Dong now completely believed in the system.
And the apocalypse it foretold.
Gulping down the iced coffee, calming his hot body and mind, Lin Dong's gaze gradually changed.
Alright, alright, since the rules of survival have changed, don't blame me for being impolite.
I'm truly fed up with this damned life; it's time for a different way of living.
From today onwards, I won't eat beef!!!
“System, give me a few more beef skewers.”
Lin Dong quickly got on his electric scooter, one hand on the throttle and the other holding the skewers, speeding towards his home.
Jiayuan Community was considered a mid-range community in Jiang City. Lin Dong had a house there, which was the last asset his parents left him before they passed away.
5th Building, Lin Dong was thinking about how to survive the apocalypse while waiting for the elevator, emitting the sweaty odor from a day of hard work.
“Tsk~ What’s that smell?” A disgusted voice came from behind him.
He saw a tall woman with a curvaceous figure and very beautiful features, wearing a bank uniform, with stockings covering her legs, holding her nose with a look of disgust.
Lin Dong turned his head and instinctively stepped back two paces.
Shen Wanyue
Shen Wanyue, Lin Dong’s neighbor.
Lin Dong lived in 301.
Shen Wanyue and her newlywed husband Wang Sheng lived in 302. They got married a month ago. At the time, Lin Dong was busy delivering packages and caught a distant glimpse of Shen Wanyue in her white wedding dress, and was deeply captivated.
This woman, whether in appearance or figure, was at an 80-point standard, far superior to his ex-girlfriend who had kicked him aside.
She was the type of person who made one involuntarily suffer from Cao Cao Syndrome.
Seeing Shen Wanyue, Lin Dong's lips slowly curved into a strange smile.
“You… what are you smiling about?” Shen Wanyue could not hide the contempt in her heart.
She worked at a bank, and her husband Wang Sheng was an executive at a company. Both considered themselves elites of society and looked down on bottom-tier people like Lin Dong, who delivered packages.
But on the surface, they still had to be polite.
Ding~
Just then, the elevator arrived. Lin Dong walked in, while Shen Wanyue apparently intended to wait for another one.
Lin Dong maintained a cold smile, and just before the elevator doors closed, he suddenly said, “If you’re hungry, remember to come find me.”
The elevator closed.
Shen Wanyue was slightly stunned, then filled with rage.
What did he take her for?
A prostitute?
A whore?
To go find him just for food?
This was beyond insulting!!!
“You dead courier, what did you say? Get down here!!!” Shen Wanyue roared, pounding on the elevator door. The scorching weather instantly made her head feel hot.
But Lin Dong had already gone up.
