Chapter 406: Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers (Update 2)
Lin Lian brought back a pregnant woman. This woman was a little older, named Yingzi. She was an ordinary person without supernatural powers and used to live in the outer city.
Basically, ordinary people without proper jobs could not afford the rent of houses in the inner city, and could only rent a small house in the outer city at a very low price.
Yingzi also had parents, and the family of three had a hard time surviving in the outer city. In order to support her family, Yingzi could only go to the most chaotic places and sell her body in exchange for points.
Meeting Lin Lian was an accident. When she found that Lin Lian was simple-minded, had some male chauvinism, and was very easy to control, she set her sights on Lin Lian.
She tried every possible means and finally got pregnant and successfully moved into the Lin family. After confirming that Lin Lian's parents were very much looking forward to this child, Yingzi's plan began.
Taking advantage of her pregnancy, she began to find ways to dig crystal cores from Lin Lian to support her parents.
However, although Lin Lian is a psychic, he is only a logistics member of the Chongshan team. The chances of him getting crystal cores are very rare. Even if he gets a crystal core, it is the lowest level one.
After all, the model has been in place for five years, and the members of the psychic team are basically around level three. Even those who progress slowly or make decisions slowly are still level two psychics.
Therefore, this level of crystal cores is basically useless, so most of them are distributed to these logistics personnel as team benefits.
However, the number of such crystal cores is also limited. After all, the level of zombies is also improving, and such low-level zombies are actually becoming increasingly rare, unless they are humans who have been infected by zombies recently.
However, now everyone is determined to carry out the mission. Once someone is infected and becomes a zombie, they will be killed immediately and will not be allowed to become a member of the zombie army and continue to harm humans.
Because of these reasons, Lin Lian's low-level energy crystal cores are limited. After a while, Yingzi has emptied Lin Lian's pockets.
However, there are still points without crystal cores, right?
Yingzi relied on the need for nutrition for the baby in her belly and asked to improve the family's diet.
Especially when she found that the rice stall in the small square of the team sold rice and flour that had not mutated, she was tempted.
However, because of his relationship with Hongyao, Lin Lian did not want to exchange rice with him. As a result, Lin Lian could only exchange rice with some of the team members who he was close to at a high price.
Yingzi found an opportunity to give some of the rice and flour that had not mutated to her parents.
After Lin Lian's parents found out about this, they almost scolded Yingzi. Yingzi was not a pushover. She made a scene at home with her belly bulging, and even had a miscarriage and spotting.
The Lin family's parents were honest now. They gave Yingzi gifts and apologized, which appeased Yingzi.
However, from that day on, Yingzi had to stay in bed.
Nothing could be done at home, and it all depended on the elderly Lin family's parents.
Not only that, last time, in order to exchange for the rice and flour that had not mutated, Lin Lian had spent half of his points. Now, in order to nourish Yingzi, he had to use his own points to exchange for food with others.
In general, more than half of the points that Lin Lian had saved over the years were gone in just a few days, and they were still disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Lian was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles.
It is said that pregnancy lasts for ten months and delivery only takes one day. It has only been four months, not even half of it, but he has not much points left.
According to Yingzi's consumption rate, the remaining points will not last even a month.
Lin Lian had no choice but to start looking for ways to earn points in the city. The most direct way was to go to the logistics department of the base, where water users had to fill water tanks every day to supply water to the troops.
However, such work requires a lot of superpowers. The more water you can release, the corresponding points you can get.
However, he was also responsible for the water supply of the team, and it was impossible for him to work part-time in the logistics department of the base with a full stomach. Basically, he went there once, was exhausted in the afternoon, and could only earn 5 points. It can be said that he was a very cheap labor force.
But there was no other way. If he didn't go to the logistics department of the base, he wouldn't even earn these 5 points.
When Bai Yun was still there, he could still be a little lazy. When he was in the team, he used less superpowers, so that Bai Yun could use more. He kept the superpowers for the logistics department at the base.
However, now Bai Yun offended the Lieyang team and was detained. Now Lin Lian is the only water superpower left in the team. The water supply of the entire team depends on him. He does not have any extra superpowers to work part-time in the logistics department of the base.
There is no extra points to be credited at home, but consumption has continued. Yingzi cannot eat any rice and flour provided by the base. Once she eats, she will vomit and then have a stomachache. It is very painful.
Lin Lian could only exchange his points for unmutated rice and flour, and Yingzi was the only one who could eat them. He and his parents could only eat the rice in the base that was full of crumbs. It was so miserable.
Lin Lian was walking on the road in a depressed mood. He didn't know that Hongyao had fish and meat for three meals a day. Not only was it unmutated rice, but also several dishes for each meal. The rice was prepared every day and delivered personally, which made the other patrolmen drool.
Lin Lian subconsciously identified himself with the situation. If he hadn't quarreled with Hongyao and taken care of the yellow rice and millet with Hongyao, would they have a part of these delicacies?
Everyone was still describing Hongyao's lunch with great interest. Today, beef stewed with potatoes, tomorrow, chicken stewed with potatoes, today, stir-fried pork with peppers, tomorrow, braised pork in brown sauce. Lin Lian kept swallowing his saliva. The
more he listened, the more he regretted it.
Thinking about Hongyao's life now, and then thinking about his life now, it was like heaven and earth. In contrast, Lin Lian really regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
The key point is that this is not the end.
Later, he heard that Da Mi was so generous that he gave Hongyao four level five supernatural crystal cores at once!
Lin Lian's regret has reached the level of heaven! If I had known it
earlier
! If I had
known it would be like this!
He would never have quarreled with Hongyao for a child!
If he had known that life after having a child would be like this, he would never have insisted on having a child!
Now, the child has not been born yet, but the family is already struggling to make ends meet. When the child is born, the family expenses will surely be even greater.
Then by then...
Lin Lian simply didn't dare to think about his future life.
He was already exhausted, and at the current rate of consumption, he wasn't sure if he could hold on until the baby was born!
No one cared about Lin Lian's regrets, and the logistics department of the rice base was already dizzy.
Facts have proved that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
