Chapter 1264: The End of the Apocalypse is Near·29

When Lin Yilan saw that the leader of the Self-Reliance Base was actually Bai Shuang, she felt like she could just find a hole in the ground to hide in.
She deeply lowered her head, trying to minimize her presence.
In her heart, she prayed countless times, hoping that Baishuang would not see her.
Having gone through so many hardships, she now had no thoughts left at all.
She just wants to be a good person and live an ordinary life every day.
She doesn't want to cause trouble anymore, nor does she want to confront Gu Baishuang again.
She only hopes to be an ordinary person, indistinguishable from others.
It might be that Lin Yilan's prayers had an effect.
During the entire dinner party, she felt like a little invisible person, as all eyes were focused on Bai Shuang and Zhan Lin.
Once the dinner party was over, Lin Yilan finally let out a sigh of relief.
She touched her long-lost bulging belly and shed tears of happiness.
Being able to eat enough is such a wonderful thing.
For her, in the past, this was simply not a concern.
可是末世结束后，反而成了奢侈。
她非常庆幸自己能遇到自强基地的搜救队。
否则，恐怕她这辈子都要被迫卖身，直到死在床上。
The next day, everyone who was rescued went out to look for work.
The Self-Reliance Base, just like its name suggests, requires every member to be self-reliant and independent.
No excuses will be accepted; the base does not support idle people.
Even though they were rescued just yesterday, today they have to find jobs and support themselves.
Last night's gathering was the greatest kindness and gift from the base.
Bai Shuang is kind, not a saint.
She cannot simply give food to those who have not contributed to the base.
Lin Yilan, although reluctant, still forces herself to go out and look for a job.
She didn't even go inside the store to take a look; just standing outside, she showed dissatisfaction with some jobs.
Dishwasher? Janitor?
Why are there still people eager to do these jobs?
Even if she lost her powers, she would certainly be able to find a decent job.
她是不可能干这种杂活的。
After searching for a long time, Lin Yilan finally found a company that was hiring clerks.
She walked in with a bright smile, but after introducing herself, she was directly rejected.
“Why was I rejected? I can use a computer, I also have a bachelor's degree, don't I meet your requirements?” Lin Yilan asked, confused.
“There’s no why; you’re not suitable for our company. Please seek opportunities elsewhere.” The company representative asked Lin Yilan to leave.
Despite this, Lin Yilan remained undeterred and continued her job search.
However, after her self-introduction, every company unconditionally rejected her.
Even when she could not find a job and her stomach was growling from hunger, she swallowed her pride and sought a dishwashing job.
```htmlActually rejected too!
“Why was I also turned down by the dishwasher? Isn't washing dishes a job anyone can do?” Lin Yilan was going crazy!
Without a job, she couldn't continue staying in last night's dormitory, and she had no food.```
So what should she do?
Is she going to be kicked out again right after entering the new base?
No one can explain to Lin Yilan because they really don't know how to explain it.
Someone up top leaked that Lin Yilan seems to have had a grudge against the base leader before.
This counts as gossip, but the way that person spoke made it seem very credible, and no one dared to doubt it.
Although the base leader is usually quite nice to them, they have also experienced his cold and ruthless side.
Moreover, many superpowered individuals are gradually losing their abilities.
Only the base leader remains as impressive as ever.
Even if there's only a tiny possibility, they don't want to upset the base leader.
As a result, in the vast self-reliance base, no one wanted Lin Yilan to work.
After all, nowadays the number of job seekers is enormous, and they do not lack for Lin Yilan.
Until late at night, as the shops on the street closed one after another, Lin Yilan still had not found a job.
She helplessly collapsed to the ground, hugging her knees and silently crying.
She had thought that coming to the Self-Strengthening Base would allow her to start a new life, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even find a job to make ends meet!
At that moment, she heard someone say, "So pitiful," and then a small denomination bill was tossed at her feet.
"I'm not a beggar!" Lin Yilan cried, her face stained with tears.
However, the couple who gave the money had already walked far away.
Lin Yilan picked up the cash and wanted to chase after the couple, but along the way, she discovered a bakery that was about to close.
Inside the bakery, there were a few unsold bread, and the owner was about to throw them away.
Lin Yilan looked at the banknotes in her hand and then at the fragrant bread.
She clenched her fist and jogged over: "Wait, I want to buy this bread."
From then on, Lin Yilan became the first beggar of the Self-Reliance Base.
On the other hand, Ye hung on quickly to his new girlfriend’s legs after the apocalypse ended.
But soon, the cruel reality made him experience the feeling of being betrayed.
His new girlfriend did not shy away from him, having sex with her new lovers right in front of him, and there was more than one new lover.
A top of bright green hats firmly rested on Ye Xuan's head.
At this moment, Ye Xuan finally understood what Gu Baishuang felt when she saw him with Lin Yilan back then.
But the new girlfriend has the wealth and power that Ye Xuan desires.
So he endures humiliation, even though he has a "green hat" on his head, he pretends not to see it.
However, over time, while Ye Xuan is willing to endure, the new girlfriend cannot tolerate him any longer.
The new girlfriend is an extremely fickle person.
She also has the means to kick people away without a second thought.
After giving Ye Xuan a small compensation, she had her bodyguards throw him out.
When Ye Xuan tried to reason with her, he was beaten up by the bodyguards and left in a bruised and battered state.
Ye Xuan's healing ability is sometimes effective, sometimes not.
Taking advantage of its current effectiveness, he healed his bruised and swollen face.
While he has regained his handsome appearance, this also exposed his special ability.
如今异能可是香饽饽。
不仅因为稀有，还因为有些丧心病狂的异能者们发现，他们可以通过吸别人的异能来维持自己异能的稳定。
The end of the apocalypse has come, and supernatural abilities are gradually fading away.
Some ability users can accept the disappearance of their powers without remorse, but some absolutely cannot.
In order to stabilize their powers, they begin to hunt down their fellow ability users.
Ye Xuan was discovered to have special abilities because he was healing his injuries, and he possessed the rare healing ability.
In a moment, he was surrounded and pursued by several ability users.
In the end, he was drained of his abilities by these ability users together.
As the crowd dispersed, Ye Xuan, who was in his thirties, was originally very young and handsome, and the passage of time had hardly left any marks on his face.
But in just a few hours, his face had aged significantly, and his skin began to wrinkle.
If it weren't for his eyes looking a bit younger, he would definitely be mistaken for someone at least fifty years old.
Ye Xuan's abilities were completely drained, and his body couldn't withstand such a loss, causing him to faint.
By the time he woke up, he had already been brought back to the base by the rescue team from the Self-Reliance Base.
