Chapter 58, Luo Rui's Team
In order to welcome the young lady of the Shen family back to the base safely, the Shen family held a welcome party for her.
The news spread quickly. Because the university students could not go out, the people in the base were bored and gathered together to talk about the lucky little princess of the Shen family.
I am so lucky to be born in a family like the Shen family - I lived a life of luxury before the end of the world, and after the disaster, I still have a family to rely on.
"I heard that Miss Shen came back with Professor Si's team?"
"That's right. I heard he's just an ordinary person without any awakened special abilities. In my opinion, it's a good thing he met Professor Si, otherwise, who knows what would have happened."
"But, the Shen family is not with the laboratory..."
"Shh, don't just say things like that!"
The group that had been excitedly discussing things suddenly fell silent. Just as they were about to change the subject, a passing girl asked curiously, "Is there anything about the Shen family and the lab that can't be discussed?"
Hearing the voice, several people looked at the woman who was speaking and greeted her politely: "Sister Luo, you are back!"
Luo Rui nodded: "I just finished a new task and exchanged points in the administrative hall. I also bought some candy by the way. Let's try it together."
As he said this, he winked at Zhou Jian, who distributed the candies he was carrying to the people who were chatting.
These people are all ordinary people. Although they have jobs arranged by the base to guarantee their basic living, they cannot squander points as freely as the psychics.
After receiving the candy, several people expressed their gratitude.
"I heard you talk about the Shen family and the laboratory..." Luo Rui said business, "Ranran and I are college classmates. After hearing what you said, I'm worried about her."
Ranran? Those people were stunned. Is it the young lady from the Shen family? Oh, right, Luo Rui's team came back with Captain Gu and the others. They seem to be acquaintances.
"So, Sister Luo, you and Miss Shen are friends." Someone lowered their voice and said, "Then you should remind your friend to stay away from Professor Si."
"Why?"
"The Shen family and Professor Si don't have a good relationship." The man said, "Everyone in the base knows that Professor Si is the most lawless person, and the Shen family are all very upright, so..."
The Shen family is very decent? Luo Rui raised an eyebrow and smiled, without commenting.
Si Xu wasn't very decent, she knew that from all her experience. As for the Shen family, it was said that they were already a wealthy and powerful family before the end of the world. How could such a large family have so many dirty and shameful things inside? How could outsiders know?
Of course, people from such big families are also the best at whitewashing the truth, confusing right and wrong, and creating public opinion.
The Shen family can sit firmly in the top position in Xiling Base in the end times, so they are probably not a naive family.
After saying goodbye to the person they were chatting with, Luo Rui and Zhou Jian walked downstairs to the community and saw a familiar figure wandering outside the flower bed.
"Why is she here again?" Zhou Jian curled her lips and rolled her eyes. "Ruirui, why is that girl so useless?"
Luo Rui shook her head, equally helpless.
Seeing the two of them, He Ru's eyes lit up. Thinking of her current situation and the purpose of her coming here, she walked slowly to Luo Rui with red eyes.
"Ruirui." The woman's face was pale. She seemed thinner than before after not seeing her for a few days.
Before she could say anything, she shed two tears.
Seeing her pretentious look, Zhou Jian turned his face away and sneered lightly, full of disdain.
This bad woman originally wanted to hook up with Si Xu, but she failed to hook up with him and was nearly disfigured by Jiang Ranran, so she restrained herself a lot. I thought she would learn from her mistakes, but she didn't change her ways and even got involved with Jiang Yu.
Whenever she thought about how she had seduced Jiang Yu and made love with him without his knowledge, she just wanted to break this bitch's neck.
Unlike the angry Zhou Jian, Luo Rui looked calm, and there was even a hint of sympathy in her eyes as she looked at He Ru.
"Ruru, why are you here? Are you off work?"
Ordinary people are different from those with special abilities. They do not need to go out to perform missions. The base will arrange corresponding work for everyone so that they can maintain a basic life.
He Ru was assigned to work in the base's crop cultivation area, doing physical labor, working from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon every day, under a points system where the more you work, the more you earn.
When she got home from work on the first day, her whole body felt as if it was falling apart, and the points she received were pitifully few, not even enough for her to have dinner.
This went on for a few days. Jiang Yu came to see her and gave her various snacks in the first two days, which made her feel proud among her colleagues. But on the third day, they were caught red-handed by Zhou Jian who had followed them while they were making love.
Just as she thought, Zhou Jian had ulterior motives towards Jiang Yu. Catching the two of them, Zhou Jian was furious. Luo Rui and Zhou Jian were good friends, so naturally, she would help her friend.
In order not to be abandoned by the team, Jiang Yu chose to break up with her.
Without the protection of her boyfriend with super powers, her life went downhill.
She thought that after arriving at the base, there would be so many people with special abilities that she could choose freely, but who knew... after a few days, the high-quality men she could meet either had women around them or had very high standards.
After much thought, she decided to go back to Luo Rui first - she heard that Luo Rui was doing well in the base, and with her own strength, she led the team to join the highest-scoring superpower team in the base.
When she was still downstairs, she noticed that the residential area where these people with special abilities lived was much more upscale than the refugee-like area where ordinary people lived.
Feeling jealous and hateful, He Ru did not show it directly. She just looked at Luo Rui timidly.
"Ruirui, I heard you guys moved apartments, so I came to take a look."
"Oh, so, now that you're here, why don't you go upstairs and have some tea?" Luo Rui smiled and generously invited the girl upstairs. "We just moved into this new apartment yesterday—there are so many people in the team now, and the previous apartment isn't big enough."
Luo Rui finished speaking and turned to go upstairs. He Ru hurriedly followed her, fearing that she would turn her away.
The apartment has four bedrooms and two living rooms. As soon as I opened the door, I heard the lively voices and smelled the fragrance of food.
A girl carrying food walked through the living room and saw Luo Rui. She greeted her warmly, "Rui Rui, you're back. Lunch will be ready soon. Eh?" The girl looked at the stranger behind Luo Rui and said, "The person behind you..."
"Her name is He Ru. We met her on the way to the base." Luo Rui responded familiarly to her teammates. "Qiao Qiao, where are the captain and the others?"
"In the study—there's a visitor, and it seems he's looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Luo Rui said, "I understand. I'll go over now."
"Yeah." Qiao Qiao glanced at He Ru and went to the restaurant with the dishes.
Luo Rui handed He Ru over to Zhou Jian for entertaining, and went to the study to report on the completion of the task.
