Chapter 35

A minor injury could not stop Wang Ye from continuing.

Wang Ye drank the healing potion, HF3, he got from Huang Zirui.

In an instant, a warm current surged through his body. His cells regenerated, his wounds healed quickly, and his muscles regained their vitality. His entire body was shaken.

The effect was excellent!

“I’ll get another tube from him when I meet him again,” Wang Ye’s condition returned to normal.

His body could recover, but the Dark Light Combat Suit could not.

A piece of equipment worth 100,000 yuan was already covered in injuries after only three days.

The quality was not good.

It didn’t matter, he would return to the base city at night anyway.

When the time came, he would go to the gene park’s laboratory and get his personal equipment. He would be able to change into it directly.

There was also the Red Sun Saber in his hand. Even the demonic human’s sword was better than his.

It was truly a cheap saber.

He was going to change it as well!

…

Wang Ye’s efficiency in the afternoon was pretty good.

He earned 20 potential points in a short time.

Wang Ye stopped while he was ahead and returned to the camp.

After all, it wasn’t good to be covered in wounds when he went home.

Wang Ye and Doctor Shu treated each other’s wounds. After Wang Ye washed up, he took the bus back to the base city.

“The forum didn’t mention this matter, so it should have been dealt with silently.”

Wang Ye turned on his phone and browsed the Eastern Base City’s branch of the Evolver forum.

Although there were many useless messages in the forum, there were two topics that would certainly be popular if they appeared.

One was the topic of cosmic monsters, and the other was the topic of demonic humans.

The two mortal enemies of Evolvers.

In fact, to most Evolvers, the demonic humans were even more terrifying than cosmic monsters.

This was because demonic humans craved blood, especially the blood of Evolvers, which was a great tonic to them.

Eastern base city.

Wengu Road, Dream Housing Area.

Rows of 20-story tall buildings stood tall, with plain white walls and green windows. Other than the grass, there was basically no greenery.

There were more than 10,000 people living in the small housing area, and the population density was extremely high.

This was the government’s settlement house, which was used to house refugees from all over the world. The community also had a minimum subsidy for the lonely elderly.

It was Wang Ye’s first time here, but he did not find it unfamiliar.

After the apocalypse, the original owner of this body’s family responded to the government’s call and moved to the Eastern Base City.

Not long after they moved out, their original city was attacked by monsters and razed to the ground.

Due to work reasons, the original owner of this body’s father didn’t move with them. In the end, he went missing and there was no news of him to date.

It had been five years.

Everyone knew what this meant, but they did not want to destroy the last bit of hope.

“The environment is ordinary and the location is remote, but at least there is a place to stay.”

Wang Ye didn’t take the elevator.

There were too many people, and the elevator would stop at every level.

With his speed, he could reach the tenth floor in the blink of an eye.

Looking outside through the window of the stairs, construction sites were building non-stop to meet the increasing number of refugees.

Just like in his previous life, the country was warm and strong. It did not give up on anyone and was a blessing for the people at the bottom.

As a part of this, Wang Ye felt proud from the bottom of his heart.

The nature of the country would nurture similar-natured people.

“Ding.” Wang Ye pressed the doorbell.

A small eye appeared on the cat’s eye.

“Open the door, it’s me,” Wang Ye said with a smile. His consciousness could already sense the thin figure behind the door.

Clang.

The door lock opened.

Then, the door opened with a click, revealing his sister Wang Xinchen’s pure and flawless smile, “Brother, you’re back!”

“Yeah, where’s Mom?” Wang Ye changed into his slippers and looked around.

It was a 50-square-meter temporary house with two bedrooms and one living room.

His mother and sister shared one room, while the original owner of this body and his brother shared the other.

The house was small and cozy, but there was a lot of junk piled up.

“She hasn’t gotten off work yet,” Wang Xinchen stared at Wang Ye with her big eyes and suddenly said, “Brother, you’ve changed.”

“Have I become more handsome?” Wang Ye smiled.

The smartest person in the family was his youngest sister.

After all, he and the original owner of this body had different habits, and the way they spoke was different.

Fortunately, the training in the Evolution Camp lasted for half a year, which was enough to erase many memories.

“No, I can’t tell…” Wang Xinchen placed her finger on her lips and looked straight at Wang Ye.

“Then don’t think about it. Let’s go pick up Mom,” Wang Ye grabbed Wang Xinchen by the neck and skillfully brushed it over.

He was a professional when it came to dealing with girls, regardless of age.

…

“Thank you, Brother! My online classes won’t lag anymore,” Wang Xinchen hugged the latest laptop in her hands and smiled brightly, “I begged Big Brother many times, but he refused to buy it for me.”

Wang Ye smiled, “Is there anything else you want?’

Little girls were the easiest to deal with. Normally, buying them things would be enough.

“No, no,” Wang Xinchen shook her head, “Mom said that it’s hard to earn money. We can’t spend money recklessly.”

Wang Ye retorted, “Then why did you buy a laptop?”

“It’s different,” Wang Xinchen looked at him with wide eyes, “This is called investing in myself! Only by studying hard can I have a way out. If I save money on my studies, I’ll have to save money for the rest of my life.”

Wang Ye gave her a thumbs up.

There was a reason why a top student was a top student. They often set their goals early on, had clear ideas of what to do, and carried them out unwaveringly.

“Mom was wrong. Men earn money for women to spend,” Wang Ye said casually.

“Brother, you sound like a little girl in a TV series.”

“… Let’s return the laptop later.”

Dream Cafeteria was responsible for providing two meals a day for the community in Dream Housing Area.

It was especially busy during eating hours.

“Wash the dishes faster. There’s no need to wash it so cleanly. Just rinse it with water and wipe it dry. Hurry up, there aren’t enough bowls!”

Chen Tingyu used her arm to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Her expression was a little ugly.

After giving birth to the third child, her body began to fail.

Especially in the past few years, she had been working hard for her children. She could not eat nor sleep well. The burden of the family was so heavy that she could not breathe.

Looking at the head of the dishwashing team being all haughty with her hands on her hips, Chen Tingyu could only endure the discomfort and quickly wash the dishes.

Nowadays, it was not easy to find a job. If she refused to do it, there would be plenty who would do it.

Chen Tingyu bent her stiff and painful waist. Suddenly, her hand was grabbed.

Turning around, her wrinkled face showed a look of joy.

“Why are you guys here?” Chen Tingyu looked at Wang Ye, who had returned safely from the Evolution Camp, and her eyes welled up with tears.

“Didn’t I tell you not to work so hard?” Wang Ye helped his mother, Chen Tingyu, up while his sister, Wang Xinchen, cleverly moved to take off the rubber gloves that were covered with foam.

“It’s fine. I’m just going to do it until the end of this month,” Chen Tingyu said as she dodged her daughter’s hands.

“Chen Tingyu, what are you doing?” The head of the dishwashing team looked over and shouted unhappily, “Don’t be lazy there. Hurry up and wash up! Do you still want to work?!”

“My mom is not working here anymore!” Wang Xinchen successfully took off her mother’s last rubber glove and threw it on the ground. She imitated the head of the dishwashing team and placed her hands on her hips.

“No, I…” Chen Tingyu said hurriedly.

“Let’s go, Mom,” Wang Ye grabbed his mother and smiled.

“Think about it carefully. If you don’t do it, there will be people queuing up to get this job outside!” The head of the dishwashing team snorted coldly.

“Whoever wants to do it can do it!” Wang Xinchen snorted, “Who would care? Do you see him? This is my brother. He graduated from the Evolution Camp’s batch 101!”

An Evolution Camp graduate?

Everyone in the kitchen looked at the three of them with different expressions.

“My brother is an Evolver now!” Wang Xinchen swept her gaze across the shocked faces of the crowd and then looked at the ugly smile that the head of the dishwashing team had squeezed out. She snorted and left with her head held high like a proud little peacock.

Everyone looked on with envy.

That was an Evolver! They had a lot of power and status in the base city, far above ordinary people.

Most importantly, they could earn a lot of money!

“What are you looking at? What are you looking at!” The head of the dishwashing team put her hands on her hips and vented her anger on the others, “She has a good son who is outstanding and has gone to enjoy her life! Do you have a son like that? Do you? If you don’t, then work hard! Hurry up!”

Muttering with her thick lips, the head of the dishwashing team looked at the direction in which Chen Tingyu left, feeling jealous and sad.

If only she had such a son…

…

“Chenchen, you’re too impulsive,” Chen Tingyu, walked out of the canteen and said earnestly, “Ah Ye just became an Evolver and doesn’t have much money…”

“Mom, what do you think this is?” Wang Xinchen waved the laptop in her hands happily.

“Ah, a new computer? How much did it cost? It was not like the one at home is broken. You’re not in charge of the family’s expenses, so you don’t know how expensive the daily necessities are. The environment at home…” Chen Tingyu said with a pained expression but stopped halfway.

She sighed in her heart. No matter how hard it was, she could not let her children suffer.

All these years, she had been a widow with three children. Although she had lived frugally, she still owed a lot of money to her relatives and friends.

Although Ah Yang was already working, his salary was not high, and the family was barely making ends meet.

Suddenly…

Ding!

A message popped up on her phone.

[Your digital currency account has received 100000 yuan.]

Chen Tingyu was shocked. Her hand that was holding the phone was shaking.

Her first reaction was that it was a scam, but when she saw her son, Wang Ye, smiling at her and waving his phone, she immediately understood.

“Let’s first return the debts we owe Second Uncle and Uncle, Mom.”

Wang Ye wasn’t a child. He knew his family’s situation very well.

Before coming, he had called to confirm everything.

These were the debts accumulated by the daily expenses over the past five years.

It was not a huge sum.

As long as no one was involved in gambling and drugs, it was fine.

“Wow, brother, you’re so rich!” Wang Xinchen’s eyes widened as she peeked at her mother’s phone.

“Yeah, I’ll cover all your expenses in the future.”

“You want to bribe me? What are your intentions? Do you want me to introduce you to my best friend?”

“Am I that kind of person?”

“You are!”

Chen Tingyu’s eyes welled up with tears as she watched her children bicker and play.

Five years ago, her husband suddenly disappeared and her whole world collapsed.

But now, her son had helped her get up again!

Things were finally working out!

“Mom, why are you crying?”

“Do you know how to phrase sentences? There’s just sand in Mummy’s eyes.”

“I’m not crying. I’m just happy. I’m happy to see you guys grow up…” Chen Tingyu laughed as she cried, wiping her tears, “Go home, let’s go home. Mom will make you delicious food.”

“Yes, yes, I want to eat braised pork ribs!”

“Just bite your own arm.”
