Meet Bai Weiwei

The moment he heard the voice, Gu Lin's gaze turned cold.

It was Bai Weiwei's voice.

Gu Lin was facing away from her, with the transparent cat carrier on his back.

Bai Weiwei must have seen the special heterochromatic eyes of the orange cat, one red and one blue, which prompted her to want to buy it from Gu Lin.

Bai Weiwei actually remembered that mutant orange cat...

True, after he narrowly escaped back to the base from under the mutant orange cat's claws, it was Bai Weiwei who took care of him.

At that time, he didn't guard against Bai Weiwei, so he naturally told her about the distinctive features of the mutant orange cat, including the lightning symbol on its right paw pad.

Gu Lin lowered his eyes, suppressing the surge of resentment in them, and swiftly got into the car before Bai Weiwei could approach him.

With a loud "bang," the door slammed shut, leaving Bai Weiwei with nothing but a face full of exhaust fumes from the truck.

Ignoring Bai Weiwei's furious shouts from behind, Gu Lin stepped on the gas and sped away.

Just now, Gu Lin's keen mental power detected an abnormal fluctuation in Bai Weiwei's body.

This is... water-based ability?

Apart from him, someone else has awakened their ability ahead of time?

Thinking back to Bai Weiwei's weak and pitiful water-based ability from the previous life...

Bai Weiwei, who awakened her water-based ability early, is no match for Gu Lin's thunder-based ability.

After all, in the previous life, even after ten years into the apocalypse, Bai Weiwei's water-based ability had only reached the fourth level, barely qualifying as a combatant.

Meanwhile, Gu Lin's thunder-based ability had reached the seventh level after ten years into the apocalypse, making him not a top-tier powerhouse but still in the upper echelon.

Regardless of whether Bai Weiwei awakened her ability early due to rebirth, meeting her at this time is not a good choice.

After all, according to the timeline of the previous life, Gu Lin shouldn't even be here right now.

If Bai Weiwei sees him, she'll become wary, and it'll be difficult to deal with her later.

Of course, Bai Weiwei wouldn't dare to use her water-based ability on the street to stop his car.

Gu Lin didn't return to the Zijing Garden as he came, but instead turned towards the other side to a comprehensive shopping mall.

He didn't know when Bai Weiwei had reincarnated.

How much longer has she been alive than him?

Thinking of the pain of being vivisected and boiled into soup, Gu Lin's eyes turned cold, but there was a hint of mocking smile on his lips.

At that time, the base he was in was not very large, just enough to barely meet the threshold for joining the Base Alliance.

The leader of that base was not a good person.

When Bai Weiwei was hooked up with the base leader, why didn't she use her brain to think carefully?

Was the man who could be easily won over by her and wielded great power in the base really that easy to control?

From Gu Lin's understanding of that base leader, he should have only wanted to use Bai Weiwei to obtain the storage space that could be used as "space ability".

From the moment the spatial jade pendant fell into Bai Weiwei's hands, her death was sealed.

After all... if someone already has a spatial jade pendant, why would they still indulge a treacherous woman?

If Bai Weiwei could betray her boyfriend who had stood by her side for ten years, she would certainly betray anyone.

Gu Lin pursed his lips, parked the car in the parking space, and reached behind from the car seat with his hand.

His mental power swept over, and the entire car full of pet supplies disappeared in an instant.

Only four rabbits, a few planting boxes, and seeds remained.

To prevent the special orange cat from being seen again, Gu Lin didn't put on the passenger's cat carrier, but got out of the car himself.

Fitness equipment is also considered consumable, but it's not so easily damaged. Gu Lin only bought two and had them sent to the truck.

The small truck just fit all these items perfectly.

While the gym staff were busy moving things, Gu Lin went to the bookstore on the first floor and bought about ten cookbooks, including a comprehensive guide to medicinal cuisine.

With these items, he estimated that he could train Gu Xue to become a qualified chef.

As long as Gu Xue became a chef, Gu Lin could enjoy the good life.

As for the matter of the space... The apocalypse hasn't arrived yet, so Gu Lin hasn't figured out how to tell Gu Xue about it for the time being.

Given her intelligence, she should be able to figure it out on her own over time.

Sigh!

Gu Lin sighed, not knowing how many times it had been.

Why didn't he inherit the perfect intelligence of his scientist parents? Why did Gu Xue steal it all away?

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Xue is still too young and hasn't started studying advanced knowledge like university-level courses, Gu Lin actually had the idea of letting her learn higher-level knowledge ahead of time.

Unfortunately, despite Gu Xue's intelligence, she is ultimately just an eleven-year-old child who hasn't even started middle school yet.

When Gu Lin returned to the ZiJing Garden after shopping, it was already afternoon.

To avoid encountering Bai Weiwei, Gu Lin returned the rented truck one day early. He still wore a mask and a hat, carried the cat carrier on his back, held a rabbit cage in one hand, and a planting box in the other as he went upstairs.

Upon opening the heavy door, a warm atmosphere permeated the air along with an indescribable smell.

It was like a mixture of heavily seasoned food and burnt, fishy odor.

It was overpowering.

Gu Lin's eyelids twitched, suddenly feeling not good.

Sure enough, Gu Xue emerged from the kitchen, feeling a bit embarrassed when she saw Gu Lin.

"Brother, cooking is really difficult!" Gu Lin was almost choked by her words and struggled to respond, setting down the rabbit cage and cat carrier in his hands before asking with mixed emotions, "What did you cook?"

"Braised carp," Gu Xue replied.

Gu Lin: ...

Gu Xue was still too young!

Who starts with fish as a beginner?

It was confirmed now. Gu Xue not only inherited her parents' intelligence but also her mother's inability to cook.

Gu Lin knew which part of himself he inherited.

It was the cooking skills his dad honed while chasing after his research-crazed mom!

However, after struggling to survive for ten years in the post-apocalyptic world, Gu Lin had returned all the cooking skills he learned while raising his child to his deceased father.

"Wow, bunnies and kitties!" Gu Xue automatically ignored Gu Lin's awkward expression, her gaze fixed entirely on the fluffy rabbits and the orange cat.

As long as she changed the subject quickly enough, her kitchen disaster could be swept under the rug!

Gu Lin shook his head helplessly, "I also bought some planting boxes and seeds, so we can grow vegetables indoors. Tomorrow, we'll install the air conditioner, so it won't be cold in winter."

Gu Xue looked up at the window, covered in a layer of fog, and asked, "Is it going to be especially cold this winter?"

"Yeah," Gu Lin agreed, "It's already very cold now. It will only get colder in winter."

Gu Lin didn't know how to bring up the impending apocalypse, so he could only hint subtly at the coldness of winter to Gu Xue.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xue glanced thoughtfully at the small living room and Gu Lin's current bedroom.

"Brother, how about we put the planting boxes in your bedroom and the fitness equipment in the small living room?" Gu Lin raised an eyebrow in confusion.

He had told Gu Xue yesterday that they would plant vegetables in the small living room and put fitness equipment in the bedroom. Why was she suggesting this now?

Sensing Gu Lin's confusion, Gu Xue explained on her own, "If it's too cold in winter, the vegetables might freeze to death. By putting them in the bedroom, we can just use the air conditioning in there."

Gu Lin smiled, impressed by his sister's intelligence, and agreed, "Alright, let's do that."

Just then, Gu Lin suddenly felt another strong surge of spatial energy.
