Synopsis

After twenty years of the apocalypse, everyone had gradually adapted to the extreme environment and terrifying zombies. Some single men and women formed families together. Xu Ying was the product of one such family. She thought she was the only child in the family, but her father actually had two more sons. To end their hardship, her father decided to welcome them into his tiny safehouse that was less than 600 square feet. When her mother saw this happening, she also brought in her ex-husband, daughter, and daughter-in-law who could not take care of themselves. That's how Xu Ying, the 'single' child ended up being forced to live in the bathroom! The family, which seemed happy on the outside, was broken once and for all. In the end, Xu Ying was kicked out of the house. She too decided to cut off all ties with them. Even if she starved to death or froze to death, she'd wander out there and never return. To her surprise, she was bound to a landlady system on the first day she left home. She was directly gifted with a safety zone that spanned 30,000 square feet. While her scumbag parents and their family were still cramped up in a tiny house, Xu Ying was living comfortably in a large single-story property. She kept the place clean and comfortable. On top of that, she built one new house after another. When business was doing well, all of her units would be rented out. She could even pet cats and dogs. She also got to know a group of powerful tenants. It's practically a fairy tale. Did I suffer for the past eighteen years just to acquire all this today? She thought to herself. "Honey, you forgot about me and left me outside the rental house!" Wei Qiyan exclaimed.

Chapter 1Chapter 1: Kicked Out of the House

Xu Ying felt that she was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could she hear such words? She could not believe it and still had a trace of hope for her mother's love.

"Mom, I didn't hear what you said just now. Can you repeat? You're my biological mother!"

Shi Qinfeng held Xu Ying's hand and cried, "I'm sorry…I have no choice. There are only two rooms in the house and eight people living there. Since you have the chance to go out with the Wasteland Reclaimers and they even provide food and accommodation, you should go with them…"

The Wasteland Reclaimers are people who needed to go out of the safe zone and develop more places where humans could live. However, the people who could go with the Wasteland Reclaimers team not only needed to be young and strong, but they also needed to have superpowers. Otherwise, when faced with powerful zombies and harsh environments, they would only die.

Although Xu Ying had a premonition that this family would chase her out sooner or later, she still felt very uncomfortable.

"I don't have any supernatural powers, nor do I have any armed abilities. I've never left the base since I was young, and you want me to go out with the Wasteland Reclaimers…Even if I didn't die, I would become a cripple! I want to ask you, am I really your biological daughter?"

Twenty years after the apocalypse, the various bases had been gradually established and improved. Not only could the bases have food to eat, but they could also avoid being attacked by zombies and mutated beasts. Therefore, survivors flocked to them. In order to survive, everyone would do anything to enter the base. This caused the population of the base to increase rapidly and the land to be scarce. However, only with people would there be a chance.

Xu Ying's father was one of the first engineers to participate in the construction of the base, so he was lucky enough to be assigned a 60-square-meter two-bedroom apartment. Normally, it was more than enough to house their family of three. But at the same time, it was hard to know what was in a human's mind. Before Xu Ying's parents gave birth to Xu Ying, they had their own families. However, before the apocalypse, some of them divorced, and some of them died during the apocalypse. However, their children were still alive. Xu Ying's parents were too lonely in the post-apocalyptic world and were single, so they wanted to accompany each other. It just was wonderful that they enjoyed each other's accompany, but troubles came one after another.

First, Xu Ying's father, Xu Yongzhong, was distressed that his two sons from his ex-wife had no place to live, so he had to bring them in.

Xu Ying's mother, Shi Qinfeng, was also upset when she saw this. She brought her eldest daughter from her ex-husband, who was Xu Ying's half-sister, Wei Jiaxi. Wei Jiaxi was already married, and her husband and three-year-old daughter were all here.

The 60 square meter house was already cramped, and eight people were living in it.

Xu Ying was the one who was sacrificed. Not only was her room taken out, but she was also forced to sleep in the narrow bathroom. It was dark and damp, and the toilet was next to her bed.

With more people in the family, there would be more conflicts. In addition, the government had issued a new policy. Every household must send an adult labor force to participate in land reclamation. Otherwise, the house would be confiscated! Xu Ying was pushed out just like that.

Shi Qinfeng's eyes were red. "Of course, you're my biological daughter. When I gave birth to you, we didn't even have a house!

"You've been with Mommy all this time. How can Mommy not love you? But Mom really has no choice now. Your sister still has a child…Your two brothers have stable jobs in the base and provide most of the income for the family. Your father will definitely not agree…"

Xu Ying gave up completely. She pushed Shi Qinfeng's hand away and turned around to enter the small and dark bathroom, ignoring Shi Qinfeng's voice from the outside. She should have given up on this family a long time ago. Even if she was crippled, it was better than being abandoned by her closest family here. What did she mean by having no choice? Was her good son-in-law dead? At the end of the day, she was just biased. Only she could be sacrificed. Even if Mom knew that she couldn't protect herself, what did it matter? She did not have much stuff to pack, so she only took a change of clothes.

At this moment, a cute little voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

[Energy collection complete. Successfully loaded!]

Xu Ying was confused. What was it? Was she hearing things because of her family's craziness?

[Host, do you agree to bind to the rental system? After the binding is successful, I will gift you a basic property with one bedroom and one living room for your own use. There will be more houses in the future.]

Xu Ying didn't understand the situation at all, but her mind seemed to be filled with the words "gift" and "property".

Oh god, even in her dreams, she wanted a house of her own.

She didn't have to sleep in the bathroom, she wouldn't be chased out, and she had a small room of her own. She thought that even if she was hallucinating and daydreaming, she would be willing to fight zombies in close combat right now, let alone bind herself to the system!

After Lin Xu died, she discovered that the world she was in was a novel.

The family was blissfully happy. Latter, the revived, amnesiac husband suddenly appeared, cornering her against the wall, his eyes full of struggle, “Even if you're married, I still love you.” Lin Xu pretended to be serious, “Is that so, then what should we do?” He hugged her tightly, his voice muffled and pained, “Divorce him!” Lin Xu chuckled secretly, “I’ll divorce him right away.” Latter, after the husband regained his memory, he said through gritted teeth, “Over my dead body will we divorce!”
