In the next 24 hours, you can choose to leave this world immediately or continue living until your life naturally runs out.
Tong Sui had not yet answered when he heard the system say, “Hurry up and run! The conditions in this world are too harsh. It’s hard to eat enough and sleep well. Isn’t it better to switch to the next world?”
No matter how good the conditions in the base were, they couldn’t compare to other worlds. Regardless of air quality or living conditions, a normal person would immediately agree to leave this world without hesitation.
But Tong Sui said, “I don’t want to.”
The system replied, “You’ll regret it.”
If we didn’t consider the time Tong Sui spent lingering after completing tasks in each world, he would now be recognized as a gold medal system.
This also made it feel disoriented every time. If it weren’t for the fact that its program name was “Villain Saving System,” it would really think it was a romance system.
Tong Sui stated, “Rebuilding in the apocalypse is interesting too. Let’s think of it as playing a game.”
The system felt speechless.
In any case, no matter how much it said, it couldn’t win over Tong Sui.
The zombie tide had ended, but the troubles were far from completely resolved.
They currently relied entirely on the existing supplies of the base for survival, as they were still lacking edible crops.
Although the research institute had indeed regenerated plants from mutated flora after the apocalypse, it took a long time, and the yield was low.
Tong Sui recalled the seeds he had initially planted in his ring space.
He entered that space and walked to the land that was initially barren.
In this space, there was fertile soil and fresh, suitable air, with the temperature also perfect for plant growth. At this moment, most varieties had already borne plump fruits.
The plants here seemed to mature faster and were of better quality than usual.
Tong Sui began to pick some of each variety and even brought a portion of the soil out with him.
He truly had no expertise in soil and plant matters, so he would leave it to the other professionals in the research institute to improve them.
As he held these items, dirt clung to his clothes and hair.
When he entered the plant research lab, he found the researchers there looking troubled as they conducted their experiments.
“Um…” Tong Sui started.
Seeing Tong Sui enter, everyone quickly stood up.
They couldn’t underestimate this young researcher who looked a whole generation younger than them, even a bit like a minor working part-time.
Upon taking a closer look, they realized he had just returned from working the fields.
However, upon closer inspection, the dirt on these crops was quite deep and still carried the fresh, moist scent of loam, implying they had just been dug up.
Since the red rain, where could there be conditions suitable for crops to grow?
If such conditions existed, they wouldn’t be here worrying every day.
“Don’t just stand there,” Tong Sui said.
Everyone finally reacted, quickly taking the things from his hands. Upon a close look, their eyes lit up.
This was completely fresh, uncontaminated plant life!
This had immense research value!
Seeing their expressions, Tong Sui knew these items would indeed help with the research. He pointed to the doorway, “I delivered the items, so I’ll be off now.”
After Tong Sui disappeared, they finally thought, “Hey? Where did he get these things from?”
As Tong Sui stepped outside, he ran into Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua had been busy dealing with the zombie tide lately. Although they had many abilities in the base, most of them lacked experience and needed someone to direct them.
With the recent zombie wave now over, his work had also come to a temporary halt.
Jiang Hua frowned slightly, reaching to brush some dirt off the tips of Tong Sui’s hair, his tone seeming somewhat helpless. “Why are you so dirty?”
“I was digging in the space,” Tong Sui replied. “I don’t understand the plants, so I let them handle the research.”
Jiang Hua responded affirmatively, showing no disgust for Tong Sui’s muddy hands. He led him to the sink, turned on the water, and carefully cleaned the dirt from his fingers, as if he were cleaning freshly dug lotus tubers.
“Do you know what they all call you now?”
Tong Sui was a bit curious. “What do they call me?”
“The Savior.”
“What?” Tong Sui’s eyes widened, but seeing Jiang Hua’s serious expression, he realized he wasn’t joking. “What kind of title is that…?”
Jiang Hua didn’t mention that the reality in the base was even more exaggerated; some people had even taken to writing Tong Sui’s name on paper as a charm.
Although he recognized that such actions were merely a testament to Tong Sui’s research achievements, it still gave him a feeling of being coveted by many.
This made him somewhat displeased.
Tong Sui could only be his savior.
Noticing he had fallen silent, Tong Sui asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Jiang Hua reined in his dark and negative emotions and took out a tissue to dry Tong Sui’s fingers carefully. “Let’s head back.”
“Alright.”
It wasn’t too late anymore.
Since the antidote for the zombies had succeeded, Tong Sui had hardly had anything to busy himself with, mostly just observing and collecting data on the side effects of the medicines.
Just as they were about to leave, a familiar figure blocked Tong Sui’s path.
Lou Ye Lin was seeing Tong Sui in person for the first time. He was even more beautiful and youthful than in the pictures, looking impossibly young for someone who achieved such accomplishments.
“What are you here for?”
Jiang Hua frowned.
Even though he knew that Lou Ye Lin’s abilities wouldn’t harm Tong Sui, he still instinctively positioned himself to shield Tong Sui behind him.
Compared to Tong Sui’s placed status, Lou Ye Lin had been experiencing unsteady times.
His position had remained under heavy scrutiny. Even if he displaced Jian Le Xian, hoping to minimize the impact of the situation, the things he had done were not easy to forget, leaving others to undermine his position.
