Chapter 66
Fu Le's face was visible under the light.
The man's wide eyes narrowed suddenly, and he abruptly stopped fighting. He pushed aside the bed blocking his way and rushed towards the door. Meanwhile, the other dark figure, who had been kicked unconscious by Fu Le, was now lying unconscious on the innermost side.
Fu Le didn't chase after them because she could already hear hurried footsteps approaching from outside.
Putting away his headlamp and knife, he adjusted his eyes to the darkness, located his target, walked up to him, picked him up, and wrapped him in a bed sheet to make a stick. At that moment, gunshots rang out again in the living room, followed by sounds of fighting. Soon after, footsteps rushed towards the bedroom.
"Brother Shen?" Fu Le asked.
"It's me, how are you?" A deep voice approached, the door opened, and light shone in.
Fu Le looked up and saw that Shen Lang was covered in sweat and his face was flushed, a result of the intense exercise.
"Here, the spoils of war." Fu Le tossed the package over, and the latter instinctively reached out to catch it. When he realized that it was a person in his hand, his expression twisted for a moment.
...
"I'm sorry, these people came for me. I'll find you another place to stay." The lights in the room had been turned back on, and Shen Lang's ashamed expression was clearly visible under the light, as was the apology in his eyes.
"It's okay, I'm used to it here."
"Well, I'll make the arrangements. Your bracelet will be ready in less than a week. Then, I'll help you find a place to move in." He wiped his face and said in a deep voice, "You're quite skilled. You've been learning since elementary school, haven't you?"
"I don't know. I am indeed quite skilled. I can take on ten people by myself without any problem, but that only applies to ordinary people, not people like you." People like you need to use internal energy.
"Hehe..." Shen Lang chuckled insincerely. "I'm leaving. There are intelligent robots guarding the door. No one can get close to this apartment. Don't worry. I have things to do. I'm leaving now." Shen Lang came and went in a hurry, taking the intruders who were rolling around in a heap with him.
"Okay, thank you."
Intelligent robots? It seems these housekeeping robots in the house aren't intelligent?
Fu Le opened the door, and in the darkness, two pairs of large red eyes gleamed.
"Identified, homeowner, not an enemy, prohibited from leaving the house." The humanoid robot brandished its machine gun, pointing the muzzle upwards with an imposing air.
Looking the robot up and down, Fu Le's eyes lit up. "Wow, so cool!!" From the outside, it looked exactly like a human, completely covered in armor, just like when Shen Lang first met it. As long as they didn't speak, you couldn't tell they were robots at all.
After having enjoyed the view to the fullest, Fu Le went back to her room to continue sleeping. Shen Lang had already tidied up her room again.
Inside an office at the base.
"How is that girl? Is she alright?"
"It's nothing," Shen Lang said respectfully, standing straight across the desk.
"Has her identity been verified?"
"No, but her gene sequence has been found. It's ours, and it's a rare, complete gene sequence from before the apocalypse." Genes that haven't experienced any apocalyptic events are also found in our current base, but not in large quantities; they are all from rare, protected species.
"That's fine. Just like everyone else, remove indoor surveillance, and limit their activity range and actions for a year."
"yes."
A month after entering the base, Fu Le received his bracelet and became one of the base's residents.
"Here are two thousand credits. One thousand is what you should have as a citizen, and the other thousand is a friendly gift from me."
"Thank you." Fu Le nodded. She would definitely repay this kindness before she left, so she accepted it without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Shen Lang smiled and said, "Come on, I'll show you your future residence. It'll cost 1,000 credits a month. I've spoken to the landlord, and he'll let you pay monthly without a deposit."
Fu Le raised an eyebrow. "You're acting a bit strange. Tell me, how can I be of any use to you?"
Shen Lang turned around, looked at Fu Le, and laughed, "You little kid, you're not that old, but you're incredibly mature. Your genes are the complete traditional genes, otherwise your basic credit score wouldn't be a thousand, while the average person only has five hundred."
Fu Le understood. No wonder there were five hundred more; the key point was here. "You call the change of time the end of the world?"
"You got it right again, but unfortunately, there's no reward."
Fu Le glanced at him sideways. It seemed that the change in environment had also caused significant changes in the genetic sequence of the population.
"Do we still have a pawnshop? Do you accept gold?" Fu Le asked again.
How many do you have?
"Twenty catties."
Shen Lang was somewhat surprised, "In your backpack?"
"yes."
Seeing how easily the little girl carried the backpack, he assumed it was full of clothes and food. He never expected there to be gold inside. No wonder she always had the bag with her and even kept it under her pillow while sleeping.
Fu Le rented a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, one-bathroom apartment with two housekeeping robots. It was in a three-story building, and Fu Le chose a middle location to avoid the heat and humidity. He was extremely satisfied. He signed an electronic rental agreement with the landlord on the other end of the bracelet, paid the rent, and officially moved in.
Shen Lang came again the next day and took the gold. Fu Le's credits on his bracelet became 501,000.
Wouldn't this be considered getting rich overnight? In a place where you can live well with just 1,000 credits, wouldn't 500,000 credits guarantee a worry-free life?
Credits have great purchasing power. Rice costs 1 credit for two kilograms, and vegetables are generally 1 credit for one kilogram. Snacks aren't cheap, but they're only slightly more expensive than vegetables. Fu Le is fully capable of stocking up on them.
With the credits, Fu Le bought a ground motorcycle. It was electric, had a solar charging station, and was no different from the motorcycles from before the apocalypse. It was very old and very cheap, costing only 100 credits. The whole process of paying and registering the motorcycle took about half an hour.
The license plates all start with AQ, I don't know what that means.
With a car, Fu Le started riding around to explore: supermarkets, convenience stores, bike shops, internet cafes, amusement parks... The biggest difference from her pre-apocalyptic living environment was the advanced technology. The smart features were dazzling and captivating. All the amusement park rides that required tracks were suspended, making them even more thrilling. Fu Le screamed repeatedly as she rode, but after one experience, she never wanted to go a second time. The speed made her dizzy, which was a way of making up for her regrets in the dilapidated building.
Fu Le spent the whole day in the game pod at the internet cafe. When she came out, her body was stiff. It was so much fun! This kind of game pod allows your consciousness to directly enter the game page. You can play thrilling and action-packed games, war games, ghost-fighting games, and life simulation games, etc. The war games are the most popular. Fu Le also played a game where she led troops into battle. It was an ancient battlefield game. The moves that the NPCs used when they fought were so cool. Fu Le was very comfortable in the game pod. She was learning kung fu online. Watching other people fight was so exciting. Her role was to watch from the sidelines and pretend not to see her teammates cursing her out.
If he weren't feeling really unwell, Fu Le would have chosen to lie there and play until the sun went down.
Standing at the entrance, looking up at the three large characters "Game Cabin," Fu Le finally felt a sense of reality, unlike anything in the modern world.
