After dinner,
The four members of the Yan family went to the study, while Bai Zixi and Lin Jiao were assigned rooms on the second floor of the main residence. Everyone else went to rest in the neighboring villa.
The Yan family’s main residence covered an area of over a thousand square meters. It was a five-story villa, with another three-story villa on each side.
The front yard had flowers and a lake, while the backyard contained a training ground. There were even guards stationed at the iron gate.
Their standard of living was practically the same as it had been before the apocalypse!
When Bai Zixi opened the wardrobe, she was slightly stunned. Her uncle had actually prepared so many beautiful European-style dresses for her. They were all in a simple, fresh, and elegant style.
008’s voice rang out. “The dresses are beautiful, but they’re not stain-resistant. Unlike the dresses in the system shop, they don’t have an automatic cleaning function.”
“I don’t have money to buy them.”
Bai Zixi wasn’t tempted in the slightest. If she didn’t exchange her points for supernatural abilities soon, the zombies would start evolving. The more time passed, the more dangerous the apocalypse would become.
Mutated plants and mutated beasts weren’t even the most frightening things. The truly terrifying ones were selfish and dark-hearted people.
Supplies would only become scarcer as time went on. Eventually, the major survivor bases would inevitably fight among themselves over resources.
She also knew that the apocalypse wouldn’t truly begin until after a certain red rain fell. By then, the number of ability users would increase, zombies would become stronger, and all kinds of mutated plants and animals would appear.
She had to hurry and exchange her points for abilities before that happened.
At that time, crystal cores would also emerge. However, absorbing untreated crystal cores would expose people to negative energy, causing various forms of corruption, such as bloodlust, murderous tendencies, or uncontrollable desires.
Fortunately, she didn’t need to absorb those things.
As Bai Zixi soaked comfortably in the bathtub, she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Having running water and electricity was simply wonderful! Just who was the capable person responsible for maintaining all this?
Her beautiful, freshly bathed body was reflected in the mirror. She had only been taking the whitening pills for less than a week, yet her skin was already as fair and smooth as a peeled egg.
She couldn’t help reaching out to touch her own ample curves.
Hmm, the feel was really nice!
With this face and figure, she could have easily become a major celebrity in her previous world.
Bai Zixi had just slipped into a long, white European-style nightdress when she heard a knock at the door.
Could it be Lin Jiao coming to see her?
Thinking this, she quickly walked over and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, she was greeted by the unfamiliar face of a man.
Bai Zixi looked at him questioningly. “Who are you?”
Nineteen replied in a flat tone, “Young Master Yan asked me to remind you to conserve water and electricity. Also, you need to report to the training ground at nine tomorrow morning.”
After hearing his words, Bai Zixi felt a little guilty.
But what was this about a training ground?
“Got it.”
She gave him a perfunctory reply before quickly closing the door.
Then she lay down on the soft bed, feeling rather displeased.
She had originally planned to visit the workers building the perimeter wall the next day. She could even bring them some water and earn a few points in the process.
Who would have thought that she would have to undergo training after returning to the base?
Were these people always this fond of making others work?
…
The following morning, Bai Zixi wore a plain white T-shirt, black training pants, and a pair of black-and-white sneakers before leaving her room.
The moment she stepped onto the training ground, everyone’s eyes immediately turned toward her. At the same time, they couldn’t help feeling worried for her.
She was the only one who had arrived just in time.
More than twenty special forces soldiers had already lined up well in advance.
Bai Zixi hadn’t expected a simple training session to be treated so seriously. It felt just like military training back in school.
Besides, she wasn’t even late! Why was everyone looking at her with such sympathetic expressions?
“Go over there and run ten laps.”
Yan Shaochen glanced at her with his dark eyes and spoke coldly.
He didn’t like people arriving later than him.
“Why should I? I’m not late!”
Before leaving the villa, she had deliberately checked the time. It was only 8:45. It would take no more than five minutes to walk to the training ground.
She had calculated everything perfectly, so she had every reason to stand her ground and question him in her gentle voice.
The moment her words fell, the expressions of the people around her changed from astonishment to admiration.
They wanted to say:
Little beauty, there’s no one we admire more than you! We refuse to bow to anyone, but we absolutely bow to you. Someone give this brave girl an award for courage!
The system notification sounded:
[Favorability +1] [Favorability +1] [Favorability +1]…
Current points: 54.
