"Taotao, don't blame me for being cruel. I really have no other choice. There are only two rooms at home for eight people. Since you have the opportunity to go out with the pioneer team, with free food and accommodation, and I heard there are dormitories, such good conditions, just go."
Although Su Tao had a premonition, she still felt very uncomfortable: "Mom, I don't have any special abilities. I have never left the base since I was a child, and I have never followed the pioneer army out."
Either death or disability.
In the twentieth year of the apocalypse, major bases were gradually built and improved. Not only could they have food to eat, but they could also avoid being attacked by zombies and monsters, so the survivors flocked in.
In order to survive, everyone was trying their best to enter the base, which caused a sharp increase in the population of the base and a shortage of land.
Because Su Tao's father was one of the first engineers to participate in the construction of the base, he was fortunate to be assigned a two-bedroom apartment of 60 square meters.
Logically speaking, it can easily accommodate their family of three.
However, Su Tao's parents were a couple who got married later in life. Before Su Tao was born, they each had a family and had children with their ex-partners.
Su Tao's father, Su Yuanhang, felt sorry for his two sons with his ex-wife who had nowhere to live, so he moved the two boys into the house he had just allocated.
Seeing this, Su Tao's mother Li Ronglian felt unbalanced and took her eldest daughter, born to her ex-husband, to live with them. She was Su Tao's half-sister Jiang Jinwei.
They also brought Jiang Jinwei's husband and three-year-old daughter with them.
Eight people live in a small house of 60 square meters.
Not only did Su Tao not have her own room, she was also forced to sleep in a cramped bathroom, which was not only dark and damp, but the toilet was next to her bed.
Every time Jiang Jinwei came to the bathroom, she would scold her for being in the way and a burden.
There are many people in the family, so there are many conflicts and there is no peace for a single day.
In addition, the government issued a policy that every household must provide one adult laborer to join the pioneer army, otherwise their housing would be reclaimed.
Su Tao was pushed out like this.
Li Ronglian's eyes were red:
"Taotao, Mom really has no choice. Your sister has a child, and I can't let her go. Your two brothers also have stable jobs at the base and provide most of the family's income. Your dad will definitely not agree."
Su Tao gave up and turned into the small, dark bathroom, closed the door, and blocked out her mother's voice.
There is nothing to be nostalgic about in this home. Joining the army even if I become disabled is better than being abandoned and backstabbed by the people closest to me here.
She didn't have much luggage to pack, and she had very few belongings of her own, so she only took a change of clothes.
At this moment, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in my mind:
【Energy collection completed, loading successful.】
Su Tao: “?”
What is that? Am I hallucinating?
[Do you agree to bind to the Landlord System? After successful binding, you will be given a basic one-bedroom apartment for your own use.]
Su Tao was in a state of confusion and still a little unsure of the situation. The only words she seemed to hear in her mind were "gift of property".
house!
She dreams of having a house of her own.
You don’t have to sleep in the bathroom, you won’t have to listen to the noise from others, you can live in peace and make a living.
She subconsciously thought that even if it was just hallucination or a daydream, let alone binding to any system, she would agree to fight the zombies in close combat right now.
【Binding successful, please host receive.】
Instantly, a room card appeared in Su Tao's hand, and a transparent panel appeared in front of her eyes, on which a 3D rotating one-bedroom and one-living room house appeared.
Su Tao opened her eyes wide, as if in a dream.
It's really not an auditory hallucination or a daydream?
[Host, please arrive at the property as soon as possible to accept the novice mission. ]
Su Tao came back to her senses and looked at the room card in her hand. The address was written on the back of the card.
She looked carefully and felt that the address seemed familiar, as if it was around Dongyangji.
"Dong Dong Dong"
There was a violent knock on the door outside, and Jiang Jinwei urged impatiently:
"Hurry up and pack your things and report in. You've been dawdling all day. Take all your things with you, and throw away anything you can't take with you. You're always in the way when you go to the bathroom."
Su Tao endured it, put away the room card, and opened the door.
"Have you packed it up? Why are you still standing there? You've eaten so much rice and you haven't moved faster."
Su Tao walked over with a cold face, and under Jiang Jinwei's stunned gaze, she raised her hand and slapped her.
Since I have decided to draw a clear line with this family.
Then, you must get revenge first before leaving!
The sound of "pop" not only dispelled the grievance in Su Tao's heart, but also gave rise to a wonderful sense of comfort.
She has wanted to do this for a long time!
"Su Tao! How dare you hit me!" Jiang Jinwei's voice was about to scream. She dropped the frightened Tangdou and rushed towards Su Tao to fight.
Su Tao said nothing and slapped him again:
"I'm hitting you. You're the only one in this family who has no right to say I'm a freeloader! If Mom hadn't been partial to you since you were little and brought you three home, you wouldn't even be wandering around right now!"
Li Ronglian sobbed, "Sisters shouldn't say such things..."
Su Tao seemed to have heard the funniest words: "From today on, I don't have any brothers or sisters, nor do I have any parents! That's it, from now on, when we meet, just treat me as a stranger and don't say hello to me."
After saying that, he ignored Jiang Jinwei's murderous gaze, quickly went back to get his ID card and his only set of clothes, put on his bag, and walked out of the house without looking back.
Li Ronglian cried breathlessly: "Is she, is she going to sever ties with us?"
Jiang Jinwei covered her red face and said angrily, "It's so heartless to cut her off from me. Without her father and brothers to look after her, and with nowhere to live, how can she survive in Dongyang? In the end, she'll have to beg us for help!"
