Chapter 73

When Shen Cheng built an arsenal and a farm, a chicken processing plant, a cannery, an ore refinery, and a textile factory that required a lot of labor in the base, the "loafer" residents of Noah's base soon disappeared.

With stable jobs, long-term goals and hopes, for many people in the base, their hearts are settled, and they are no longer floating in the air like before, unable to find a place to settle down.

Ordinary people who can't afford combat mechas temporarily will choose to buy one piece in units of the size of several households or people in one room. After participating in the sweep, they will have enough points and then distribute them separately, but no matter what. Anyway, the increase in the force value has given everyone in the base hope.

Among the power users, the power user team headed by Yan Hongyu, Xi Nan, Chen Feng and others are active in the wasteland. Although there have been casualties during the sweep, but with the support of the base panacea, compared with Considering the casualty rate of the other teams, the Noah pair's progress was considerable and smooth.

Shen Cheng is looking through the cub's log every day when he goes online.

【The main character knows Tang Lu】

[The main character encounters a group of mutant mice]

[...The mutant mouse colony has been cleaned up. Minor injury...recovering]

...

【The main character's ability has been upgraded】

【The main character encounters a road robber】

[The main character clears the robbers' lair and finds a lot of guns and ammunition. has been saved]

Every time I go online, I feel that there are many stories in the days when the cubs were wandering in the wasteland!

Shen Cheng felt itchy when she looked at the log, and was even a little annoyed that the game didn't let her watch the wonderful performance of the cubs.

Zaizai stumbled and crawled outside alone, and didn't know whether to eat enough or not to wear warm clothes. There was a slight injury before, and this time it was a minor injury...

If it wasn't for the cub taking a picture and sending it to her with energy every day, Shen Cheng suspected that she would not be able to play with infrastructure.

She was thinking so, when suddenly the phone vibrated, and a phone message popped up. Shen Orange looked at the unfamiliar number and suspected it was a spam call, but she hesitated and put the phone to her ear: "Hello?"

"Chengcheng." A strange, somewhat old voice came from there, "It's Chengcheng, I'm your uncle."

Shen Orange's hand trembled.

She didn't expect to receive a call from relatives on her father's side. After all, after so many years, she digested the affairs of her parents by herself, and after she became an adult, she left her hometown to go out on her own. She never saw them call to care, and Shen Cheng did not care about their contact.

"Uncle?" She called out hesitantly, "Is something wrong?"

"That's right, your grandfather passed away recently, we hope you can come back for the funeral." The uncle's voice was filled with exhaustion.

Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment.

She originally thought that she and the relatives over there would never communicate with each other. After all, she was alone, and the terrifying family relationship that had been weak from beginning to end was even weaker.

The bullying in my memory has gradually faded, but the fear and shadow left behind are real and never disappeared.

Going to a funeral?

The first question that came to her mind was: Is it suitable?

She is a 'morning star', is it suitable to worship the old man?

Afraid that the dead will have to be angered to come back to life, right?

Shen Cheng said hesitantly: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I just went to work, so it's hard to ask for leave. Besides, Grandpa didn't want to see me before he died..."

"Come when you are called," the uncle suddenly changed his tone.

Shen Cheng took two heavy breaths.

If it was said that she was forced to rely on others and had to swallow her voice and obey everything, now she is independent and neither owes them nor asks for them.

You don't owe favors or money, so why do you have to put up with it?

Shen Cheng was ready to refuse immediately.

Hearing the indifferent silence on her side, the uncle realized that she is not as good as in the past, and finally relaxed a little: "Chengcheng, even if you have no relationship with us, your grandfather raised you after all. For such a long period of time, when his old man went to the funeral, you died prematurely..."

"I'll go." Having said this, even the deceased father was moved out. Shen Cheng took a deep breath, but still reluctantly said, "...But I can't ask for leave, and I don't have any money. Buy a plane ticket and go back... wait for me to take a leave and make it clear to the supervisor..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the uncle hurriedly said, "Give me your ZFB account, and I'll transfer the flight ticket money for you. Buy it if you should. If you can't keep up with the old man's funeral..."

Shen Cheng said ok in silence and hung up the phone.

She doesn't have the heart to play games anymore.

After taking a long sigh, she sent her account number to the phone number that called.

Seeing that the other party had transferred more than 1,000 airfare fees almost instantly, and had already checked which day the flight was and which flight, deep doubts arose in Shen Cheng's heart: if you give a courtesy to someone, you must Ask for something.

The uncle's family can't afford to be unprofitable.

If there is no benefit or benefit for them, expect them to bleed, and even buy her a plane ticket with their own pockets, and even pay back the counter-offer?

This is definitely not the style of their family!

Grandpa passed away...

Shen Cheng suddenly thought of something, she searched the legal provisions, and roughly guessed the possibility.

That's right, only this great benefit can make them temporarily ignore their current "loss", and even call their own niece, a niece they despise so much, back to their hometown!

But what should she do?

If it is as she expected, those people are asking for her now, but they still have such an attitude, obviously they have never put her in their eyes.

So, when they deal with it specifically, will they take a similar attitude and a similar way of handling it?

Shen Orange's heart has a general direction.

**

She didn't fly in the air for a few days, so she traveled thousands of miles back to the small town in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Shen Cheng didn't buy the flight designated by her uncle and the others, but arrived at the small building where she once lived one day earlier.

With a vague memory, Shen Cheng touched the place, but Shen Cheng saw the real estate agent taking a family of clients to look at the house---this small building was the first real estate purchased by their Shen family back then, and naturally they bought it here. The best location, backed by the mountains and in front of the water, is breezy in summer, except that there are more mosquitoes in the river, there are no other defects.

The client of that family seemed to be extremely satisfied with the house, but it was with the intermediary for the price. Shen Cheng frowned slightly as they saw them, and covered half of his face with an umbrella, listening for a short while. There will be a number in a while: in short, we can't agree on the price, but in general, with the skyrocketing housing prices, such a small courtyard in the center of the small town can bring at least 600W of income to the uncle and his family!

This is really not a small amount of money!

The premise is that if they can swallow it in one go.

Shen Cheng had some idea in his mind, probably estimated the price, turned around and went to find a small homestay to live there.

She was taking a rest here, but the uncle and the others went to the airport to pick her up and didn't pick her up. When I went to ask, I found out that she didn't even take this flight. The uncle got mad when he asked, and called her one by one at the airport. .

It's a pity that none of them got through from beginning to end.

The old man was furious at the airport, and the young and strong son stood beside him and sighed: "Dad, it's useless to be angry, maybe we offended people badly back then, and they don't care about them now that they're grown up. What about us!"

"What right does she have to hate us!" the old man said angrily, "Since she is so unfilial..."

"Then what can you do?" The son said lazily, "Can you deprive her of her inheritance? If I say it, it's the fault of not making a will..."

"Shut up!" The uncle's eyes were blood red, staring at the son who couldn't open the pot, and he couldn't lose his temper at his only son, so he waved his hand and left.

Shen Cheng guessed that they would make a phone call, so she just muted her phone and left it in the bathroom and closed the door.

She regards this rare travel day since her graduation as a tourism and relaxation. Although it is a funeral and a return to her hometown, the old man did not have any feelings for her and her father and mother. Instead, they have done their best. In addition to the obligation of support, and the fact that these people came to her with other intentions, presumably that person who left was surrounded by his 'filial sons and worthy grandsons', who should have passed away with a smile.

What is she making fun of? This is an orphan girl who is not welcome.

Shen Cheng thought so, so she slept peacefully and basked in the sun. When she got up, she picked up her phone and raised her eyebrows: As expected, there were more than 20 missed calls.

After she finished washing, Shi Shiran picked up her mobile phone and small bag and went to the mourning hall they set up for her grandfather.

The uncle has sharp eyes, and he saw Shen Cheng almost at a glance. This eldest niece has never been here since she was admitted to the university, but she and her father look so much alike that they are almost carved out of a mold. of.

The uncle recognized her at a glance.

Looking at his already slim niece, the uncle had to admit that this girl was indeed born like a beautiful flower, with beautiful eyes, and she looked like a soft and beautiful appearance. In their Shen family, it turned out to be a rare one. See the standout.

The uncle hurried forward and pulled her away: "Orange, why didn't you answer my call when you came?"

Shen Cheng whispered innocently: "...I'm so tired from work, it's rare to go back to my hometown to oversleep. I'll come over as soon as I wake up, I'm afraid you guys will wait for a long time."

**

Li Weilan hasn't heard from her for five days.

She would send photos before, sometimes it was the change of the base, and sometimes it was some small stories and things that happened in the base that she saw, so although others were not in the base, they practiced outside, looking for opportunities for breakthroughs and battles. Experience, Li Weilan's heart is still at ease.

But now it's different.

She was like a kite with a broken string, and she disappeared for five days.

Why did it take so long?

Is it because he is not at home, so she doesn't even care about the base?

In just over two weeks of travel, Li Weilan's ability has broken through from Tier 3 to Tier 4. This is the progress he has made by surviving from death again and again, with fewer enemies and more, and only repeatedly using spatial abilities.

He originally had the idea of ​​continuing to practice, but now he really can't calm down.

Pack up and go back to the city.

Just when he had this idea, it was strange to say that a new light-transmitting screen popped up in front of him. It looked exactly the same as the video he had seen before. It had no real shape to the touch, but it was clear. of no illusions.

Li Weilan remained calm. The screen went from blurry when it first appeared, as if water had been splashed, and gradually became stable. In the end, it was as clear as a 3D image.

Li Weilan saw her at a glance.

She is fine.

But he soon realized that it was too early to be relieved.

He saw that on the screen, Shen Cheng was surrounded by several men, and one of them, a tall and extremely strong man, pointed and poked at her, and his mouth was flying, which was extremely impolite.

She was wearing a plain white dress, and her face was graceful and gentle, but at this time, her little face was full of determination to never step back.

She faced so many men by herself!

Are those people bullying him?

Li Weilan was furious, but he could only see her with a stubborn and heartbroken expression on the screen from a thousand miles away.

Under her strong appearance, Li Weilan saw the pain in her heart.

Yes, there are so many people, but no one stood up to support her and said a word for her!

Li Weilan dropped a fist on the invisible screen, the screen trembled, and then a prompt popped up:

[Whether to buy: Temporary crossing qualification? Please note: This qualification is valid for one day only. If you do not purchase within three days, the overdue will no longer appear. Purchase Price: Space Force 1000 points. 】

1000 points of space force?

Li Weilan frowned. Next to this line of small print, there is also a light blue piggy bank-like thing.

He tried to input his ability into it, and as his ability slowly injected, this thing ate up his ability, and then the numbers began to jump up slowly.

Li Weilan tried it out. If he didn't hold back at all, he would be able to fill this small pool in exactly two and a half days.

But this also means that in the past two and a half days, he will pour a little power into the pool, and if there is any danger during this time, it will be fatal to him.

But looking at this time card so closely, for three days, Li Weilan is sure that this time must be pinched!

Coincidence, it can never be just a coincidence.

The thought of wanting to see her surpassed everything, and Li Weilan began to pour power into the pool desperately, not even caring about the slight swelling and pain of his own power core.
