《System And Rebirth: Leveling Up In The Apocalypse!》Chapter 25:『 A Call From The Scum Father 』
Advertisement
"Xiao Xie? Thank goodness you picked up!"
Qian Xie and the lot was inside her villa. She just brewed tea for relaxation for everyone to soothe themselves out of the depressing situations that happened. She was just about to chill when a certain living thing broke the atmosphere.
"Of course I am, I wouldn't have answered the call if I turned into a zombie." She replied with a chuckle, the cold glint in Qian Xie's eyes never fading even with a smile.
The three men on the side found themselves relaxed unconciously. Maybe it was because of Qian Xie's really delicious tea.
Yun Lian on the other side of the phone was suspicious of his daughter's calm response, like a world-shaking tragedy has never happened. Since she could talk like this, then it is expected that this Qian Xie has survived with some capable allies.
But no matter what, he has to have this girl by his side at all times. Now that their city is in chaos, City A would be the best evacuation area that people would go to. He definitely cannot let Rong Qian Xie go back to that city.
Yun Lian still has prestige over City E, so he together with his mistress and the both of their child had found shelter in the government's side mansion that was surrounded by many barricades and soldiers from the uppers of City E itself.
"Where are you? Dad will pick you up right at this instant." Although he said this, Yun Lian was actually just letting an unknown soldier pick her up.
Qian Xie, while sipping her tea, furrowed her brows. It's better to not let that scum man know of her base. Even if he knows, Qian Xie doesn't care. She just doesn't want unnecessary troubles to solve.

"I still have my car, and I have quite the strong comrades here. I'll go there instead, where are you?" Yun Lian noticed the disrespectful tone used by his daughter. He gritted his teeth in anger but spoke to her in a caring manner.
"We are in a governmental suite, just inside the government's side mansion. Be careful on the way, Xiao Xie." Qian Xie immediately hung up. If she really doesn't know the true colors of that man, she would've blindedly get touched by him.
The area just beside her suddenly weighed down. It turned out to be where Tian Ming Jue sat. And since she sat on the center part of the couch, Chen Jian also sat on the other side.
"You guys wanna go with me?" Qian Xie asked. They are the only people left here, none other. Of course it's okay for her for someone from them to stay here, it's just that she is not sure of when she will be able to go back. What if the supplies run out? She has trust in their abilities, there was no need to worry if they knew how to use it.
"Of course I'll go with you/yes." Both answered firmly. Unconsciously, Qian Xie broke into a smile. She was actually relieved.
"Would we still use our cars for the transportation? And where are we going? Aren't we already safe here?" Chen Jian asked.
"No, we'll use mine, it's sturdier. . ." And here started their preparations for the trip to Qian Xie's scum father.

Evolution of the Lazy Gamer by Bruticus

That was the beginning of the story of a lazy, unheroic character who would meet others just as lacking in the heroism department as he was. Still life (or virtual life) throws you curve balls and you never know what will happen.
