Chapter 153: Chapter 25: The Drama Queen Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 25)

Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah! Just think about it, you like eating organic vegetables, right? Where do you eat if no one plants them? You enjoy eating exquisite and beautiful cakes, right? Where do you eat if no one makes them?

The previous world was so wonderful, safe and convenient. Don’t you want to restore the world to its original state?"

Jiang Lai thought Lin Yan still had room for improvement. This guy seemed to spend all day not knowing what he’s doing. As long as there’s food and drink, he could spend the whole day buried in books doing nothing, waiting for someone to save him when danger arises, and waiting for someone to deliver food and water when he’s hungry or thirsty. Even after sleeping and waking up the next day, he lives the same way.

All his talents are buried, and crucially, he doesn’t care at all, as if he’s uninterested in anything in the world.

When everyone dies, he can calmly keep eating, drinking, and reading.

So Jiang Lai felt it necessary to give him a lesson on the importance of saving humanity, only then could he trigger his motivation to research the serum.

This matter must be prioritized, after all, he lives at the edge of danger every day. His vitality is extremely fragile. To entrust the responsibility of saving humanity to someone like him, it seems nature truly has a grudge against humans.

Jiang Lai’s earnest advice clearly didn’t get through to Lin Yan, he just watched Jiang Lai’s mouth and replied after a long while.

"You have all of these things, why do you need others? You just live happily."

"I... No, what’s mine is mine. If you want something, you need to work hard to create, to fight for it. Saving humanity and obtaining these things is the true fruit of victory, understand? Depending on me is... uh, unambitious."

Seeing Lin Yan’s gaze becoming more dangerous, Jiang Lai just heard the "Death Value" beside him crazily rising like it’s stuck buffering, "Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong."

"Death Value: +10, +10, +10, +10..."

"What’s this? Stuck?"

Little Buding commented.

"Not stuck, he’s just wavering between whether to kill you or spare you, there’s murderous intent, but not much."

"Well, thanks to him then."

Jiang Lai sighed.

"Lin Yan, I don’t want the same thing to keep happening to you."

Her gaze became serious, looking at Lin Yan as if seeing someone else through him, even Jiang Chao was baffled.

"My parents and my boyfriend all died at the hands of zombies. Later, they became terrifying creatures. What pains me most is not their death but their resurrected appearances. The people who once loved me turned into emotionless and irrational beasts.

Sorry for forcibly placing my hope on you, from now on, you can live the life you want, I also have to learn to let go..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Having finished, she turned to leave, but in the next moment, Lin Yan gently grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"You said these things just to make me research the serum. I agree, but I have one condition."

Jiang Lai straightforwardly responded.

"Speak, as long as you want, as long as I have."

"I want you to always be by my side, I need to see you morning and night. You must take care of me, protect me."

Jiang Lai frowned.

Lin Yan’s face coldly soured as well.

She quickly smiled.

"Alright, have you really not considered Andre? He’s way more reliable than me."

"Jiang Lai, sometimes you talk so much I want to shut your mouth."

Jiang Lai instinctively licked the corner of her lips, then silently covered it.

"Got it, propose your conditions freely, they’re all negotiable."

Lin Yan’s gaze shifted, he raised his eyes to Jiang Chao, then said leisurely.

"Don’t interfere in matters between me and your sister, she’s mine now."

Jiang Chao’s fists clenched tightly. If it weren’t for Jiang Lai being present, he really wanted to punch his teeth out.

"Jiang Lai, I don’t agree."

Back in the room, seeing Jiang Lai packing clothes, Jiang Chao pressed down on her bag.

"How can a single girl like you live in a room with a man? What will people think of you?"

"He has a suite, several rooms, each with a door."

"It’s still not right! He might look weak, but he’s still a man, bad for your reputation!"

Jiang Lai looked at him, expression helpless.

"In this world, who cares about reputation? And besides, brother, I’m thinking for humanity’s future, don’t mess this up."

Jiang Chao clenched his fists.

"He needs someone to care for him and protect him, I will!"

The stout man pounded his chest with his fist, looking very reliable, which made Jiang Lai quite tempted, but Lin Yan’s unpleasant face seemed to linger before her.

"Forget it, brother, if you’re worried, why not move in as well? After all, his suite’s got plenty of rooms."

"That’s fine."

As long as he’s under his nose, it’s all good.

Then Lin Yan opened the door, greeted by an imposing 1.88-meter man, while Jiang Lai poked her head from behind him, smiling innocently.

"My brother is worried you’d bully me, so he came to live with us. Though I think he’s overreacting, oh well, he is my brother."

Lin Yan tightened his face and stepped aside, watching Jiang Chao pick the room next to his and then presumptuously arranged Jiang Lai to the farthest room.

"Alright, being on the same team means staying together, I’ve had Yan Zhouxing come too. He’ll be on your other side."

Just perfectly placed, squeezing Lin Yan in the middle.

Jiang Lai sighed.

The male lead seems a bit dense, even if Lin Yan wants to do something, tying him up is useless.

Besides, Lin Yan obviously looks high and mighty, unlikely to do anything untoward.

Lin Yan didn’t say anything, just let them arrange.

This way, a few of them temporarily settled down at Zero Base. Of course, eating isn’t free; everyone must work to earn "money" here.

The currency here is Corpse Coin, Andre got a weapon factory at the back, while developing weapons, he incidentally made coins with his own portrait for circulation.

There’s food, clothes, and accommodation here, but everything costs money.

Just as they arrived, there’s a three-day free trial period. After three days, living in the apartment costs money, eating at the canteen costs money, basically all living expenses require money.

Where does the money come from? Completing tasks to earn it.

Superpower Users rely on gathering resources and fighting zombies to earn. How much they earn depends on their skills, while ordinary people work inside the base to earn, raising pigs, weeding, farming, and repairing stuff all make money.

Understanding this system, Yan Zhouxing repeatedly exclaimed.

"This is just like a small country, gosh, Andre made himself king."

Soon he felt relieved.

"Fortunately, our suite doesn’t cost money, otherwise we couldn’t afford it."

Normal apartments cost over three thousand coins a month, a big suite would cost ten thousand easily.

The canteen too, there are two in total, the ordinary canteen costs six hundred a month for three meals, the luxury canteen five thousand a month for full meals.
