Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Forgive Su Family?

If she let her father and her husband make a decision, they would only buy one for her and forget about themselves!

Su Jiyai passed the remaining 4 lunch boxes to Rui Wang and asked,

“Do you feel any discomfort?”

“No! In fact, I was never so comfortable before!” Rui Wang exclaimed.

The soft seat on which she was sitting, the cool air, and a healthy lunch.

Everything was just like a dream.

Su Jiyai smiled.

Fu Lin and Rui Xiao too couldn’t help but smile.

[Ding! Host your luck has temporarily risen by 20.]

“20? So much?” Su Jiyai was a bit surprised.

[Host it is temporary, it will last only an hour or so. This temporary luck is useful during the lucky draw.]

“Ohh.” Su Jiyai sighed internally. Now she didn’t have any lucky draw, so the temporary boast of luck was just a waste for her.

“We have reached.” Su Jiyai announced and parked the car just outside the residential area.

When Fu Lin, Rui Wang, and Rui Xiao saw the electric fence their expression changed.

Who doesn’t know these electric fences?

Even the nuclear bomb couldn’t destroy these electric fences!

“Please get off. From here onwards, you will have to walk on your own.”

“Wang’er get down first. Dad, please help Wang’er I want to talk with the expert in private.” Fu Lin said with a serious expression.

Su Jiyai raised an eyebrow.

Rui Wang obediently stepped out while Rui Xiao gently helped her.

There were many things the daughter and father wanted to talk about.

One wanted to be assured, her father was alive. Others want to apologize for all of his misdeeds.

“Expert, first I want to thank you for saving our life.” Fu Lin bowed his head.

Su Jiyai waved her hand,

“It’s a small matter, don’t mention it.”

Fu Lin’s admiration for Su Jiyai deepened further.

“I will remember this debt and repay you someday. The second thing that I want to talk about is, can you tell me the real price for all the items.

I can sense from your earlier attitude that you respect pregnant women a lot. Hence you lied earlier. Now you can tell the truth.”

Su Jiyai chuckled,

“While it is true that I respect pregnant women, I didn’t lie. Those prices were accurate.”

“Expert you don’t need to suffer just because of Rui Wang.” Fu Lin insisted.

From his perspective, Su Jiyai was a top expert who didn’t care about loss and believed in humanity.

Selfless and Humanity believer Su Jiayi: “…”

“Listen I am very serious. I am not the only person who is selling food at such a price. The owner of this residential area is selling the food at that price too.” Su Jiyai directly shifted the blame to her pseudo alias.

Fu Lin’s eyes widened in disbelief

“You are kidding, right?”

However, all he got was a firm head shake from Su Jiyai.

Suddenly Fu Lin’s expression paled and he asked with trembling lips,

“You-you are not-not running some experimental institute right?”

That was the only place, where food costs were low.

Su Jiyai was speechless.

As an ex-soldier, she had indeed heard of experimental institutes. She only has one word to describe such places: Unholy.

Many humans who go to such experimental institutes just to survive, may die the very next day or they may turn into a powerful weapon.

They promise luxurious stays and hefty meals at cheap costs but the dark reality is…other than some, no one survives.

Those who die will be used as a meal…while those who survive live luxuriously and eat meat.

Su Jiyai shook her head firmly.

“No, this is not an experimental institute. You don’t have to worry about that. This residential area is well-maintained and safe.

Also, didn’t you see the chicken? When can the experimental institute offer chicken? Once you enter you will see cup noodles and other snacks too. They can’t be made from that you know….

And I didn’t promise any luxurious stay for free, I am renting the area!”

Fu Lin’s hanging heart dropped and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Once his emotions calmed down, Fu Lin said with an embarrassed expression,

“Expert I am sorry. I didn’t mean to doubt you. I just wanted to ensure the safety of my child and my wife.”

Su Jiyai nodded.

The apocalypse has become much more dangerous than before. People’s hearts have changed a lot too.

“It is better to be guarded than to be caught off guard and put your loved ones at risk,” she finished his sentence with a gentle smile.

“Thank you for your patience and for everything you’ve done for us.”

Su Jiyai waved her hand dismissively. “No need to thank me. Just take care of your family and stay here for more time.”

Fu Lin thanked Su Jiyai one last time, paid her 5 crystal cores, and exited the car.

Su Jiyai calmly left the residential area’s border and entered her underground home through the backdoor.

5 minutes later.

Su Jiyai used the monitor to see Fu Lin, Rui Wang, and Rui Xiao’s current moment.

Surprisingly Ning Wei has come out of his room too and went to assure the trio.

Su Jiyai was filled with joy.

With Ning Wei’s assurance, the trio would be less worried.

Su Jiyai used her mic and started to say,

“Welcome, Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, and Mr. Rui. My driver informed me about your arrival just now. So how many rooms would you like to rent?”

Fu Lin asked with uncertainty,

“I want to confirm something first. Is the monthly rent truly 5000 federal coins for a single room?”

“Yes.” Su Jiyai answered.

“Will the rent rise in the near future?” Fu Lin continued to ask.

Su Jiyai was stunned by this question and asked the system.

Because if the rent will rise in the future won’t that mean, that they were acting nice at this start and will play rouge later?

[No, host. The rent will not rise, till the tenants want to live here.]

Su Jiyai narrowed her eyes.

How strange…why did the system say ’till the tenant wants to live here?’

“No.” Su Jiyai answered.

Fu Lin’s and Ning Wei’s tensed bodies relaxed.

“Boss Su, is there any double room?” Fu Lin asked

“Not for the time being.”

“Then I would like to rent 2 single rooms for a month.” Fu Lin said and placed 10 crystals on the table.

He decided to save 5 crystal cores.

For the next two days, they need to rest and be unable to earn any crystal cores, so they should save as much as they can.

Once he was assured that the rental site wasn’t any shady place, he could continue to extend her lease.

Whoosh.

10 crystals vanished from the table and two room cards appeared.

Fu Lin gave one card to Rui Xiao and led Rui Wang inside his room.

Looking at the neat, luxurious, and clean room, Fu Lin and Rui Wang’s body trembled with excitement.

At least there was no smell of rotting zombies here and they could finally relax without fear of attack or sickness.

Rui Wang looked around in awe, touching the soft bed and marveling at the clean bathroom.

“Hubby, this is amazing,” she said, her voice filled with wonder.

Fu Lin smiled, feeling a wave of relief wash over him.

“Yes, it is. We’re safe here, Wang’er. We can start rebuilding our lives.”

Rui Xiao entered the room and joined them.

“I checked the area. It’s well-protected.”

He turned towards Rui Wang and slowly knelt down.

They say there is gold under a man’s knees and Rui Xiao was willing to give it all up for this moment.

“Wang’er,” he said, voice trembling. “I’m so sorry for everything. For ignoring you, for always looking down on you, and for treating you like a stranger.”

Rui Wang’s eyes turned moist.

His father wasn’t truly bad.

He paid for her school, kept her well-fed, and never abused her.

At most, he ignored them and didn’t love her.

But in the apocalypse love was a secondary matter, the primary matter was being well fed and her father always did that for her.

When she came of age, he found a good guy and married her to him.

Though he ignored her from then on and never contacted her again, how could she forget her father’s kindness?

“Dad, I forgive you. We all made mistakes, but we’re here now. We’re safe. Let’s just be grateful for this chance.” Rui Wang said and helped Rui Xiao to stand up.

Fu Lin watched the scene with tears brimming in his eyes. It was a rare moment of peace in their chaotic lives.

Su Jiyai observed this emotional reunion from her monitor, feeling a bit sad.

Would she ever be able to forgive the Su family?

At least they sheltered her for many years…

But the cruel memories of the Su family resurfaced in her mind.
