"Ruth, don't blame mom, there's really no other way. There are just two rooms at home, and eight people live there. You just go to the pioneer team, I heard there are still dormitories, such good conditions..."
Although Ruth already had a premonition of this matter, her heart was still hard: "Mom, I can't do magic ......"
People who did not inspire magic talent to go to the topographic team, waiting for them only death.
The second decade of the end times, the major bases are gradually established and perfect. Here you can eat and not be caught by zombies.
In order to live, the survivors have flocked to the city, causing a sharp increase in the population of the base and a tight land use.
Ruth's father, because he was one of the early engineers involved in the construction of the base, was fortunate enough to be allocated a sixty square foot two-bedroom home.
According to reason, the three of them could live in the house.
But Ruth's mother and father were halfway married, each had a family before giving birth to Ruth, and both had children with their exes.
Ruth's father, Gail, was concerned that he and his ex-wife's two sons had no place to live, so he took the two older boys into the house he had just been given.
Ruth's mother, Tina, saw the situation and was unbalanced, so she also brought her oldest daughter, Bella, who she had with her ex-husband, to live with her.
She also brought Bella's husband and three-year-old daughter along with her.
A small house of sixty square feet, eight people live there.
Not only did Ruth not have her own room, she was forced to sleep in the cramped bathroom, which was not only dark and damp, but also had the toilet next to her bed.
Every time Bella came to the bathroom, she would scold her for being in the way and dragging her feet.
With so many people in the family, there were many conflicts and not a single day of peace.
Plus, the government issued a policy that each family must send an adult laborer to join the pioneering team, or the housing would be repossessed.
Ruth was just pushed out.
Tina, with red eyes.
"Ruth, mom really has no choice, your sister still has children, I can't let her go, your two brothers also have stable jobs in the base, providing most of the source of income for the family, your father will definitely not agree..."
Ruth died and turned into the small, dark bathroom, closing the door and shutting out her mother's voice.
There was nothing to hold on to in this home, and joining the army, even if it was crippling, should be better than being abandoned by the people closest to you.
She also has nothing to pack, her own things are pathetic, only took a change of clothes.
At this time, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in her head.
[Please ask the host whether he agrees to bind the system? After successful binding, you will be given a one-room house for your own use]
Ruth was still confused, and all she could hear were the words "gift of property".
A house!
She had always dreamed of having a house of her own.
No need to sleep in the bathroom, no need to listen to the noise, have their own space, can live well.
[Binding successful]
Instantly, a house card appeared in Ruth's hand, and a transparent panel appeared in front of her eyes at the same time, with a 3D rotating presentation of a one-room house floating on it.
Ruth's eyes were wide open, as if in a dream.
Is it really not a phantom daydream?
[Please host arrive at the property location as soon as possible to accept the novice task].
Ruth returned to her senses and looked at the house card in her hand, which had the address written on the back.
She took a look and felt that the address was somewhat familiar, it seemed to be around Dongyang base.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Outside the house sounded a violent knocking on the door, and Bella's impatient urging.
"Hurry up and pack your things to report, dilly-dallying all day long. Take all your stuff away, throw away what you can't take away, every time you go to the bathroom, it's in the way."
Ruth endured, put away the room card and pulled open the door at once.
"Put away? Still standing there for what? Eat so much white rice, but I do not see you move nimbly."
Ruth walked over with a cold face and punched Bella in the face under her dazed gaze.
She had decided to leave anyway!
The "pop" not only dispersed the aggression in Ruth's heart, but also gave rise to a wonderful sense of relief.
She had wanted to do that for a long time!
"Ruth! How dare you hit me!" Bella's voice was about to burst and she pounced on Ruth and fought with her.
Without saying a word, Ruth slapped her again.
"You're the one who hit me. You're the only one in this family who has no right to call me a freeloader!"
Tina whimpered: "Are you crazy? I'm your sister!"
Ruth seemed to hear the funniest words: "Starting today, I don't have any brothers and sisters, and I don't have a mom and dad! That's it, from now on, when you see each other, treat me as a stranger and don't say hello to me."
After saying that, ignoring Bella's murderous gaze, she quickly went back to get her ID card and the only change of clothes she had, carried her bag and left the house without looking back.
Tina cried her last breath: "Is she, is she going to break off the relationship with us?"
Bella covered her red face and said with hatred, "This kind of heartless person... how can she live in Dongyang without her father and brothers to take care of her and without a place to live! In the end, she can only come and beg us!"
The end of the world has come, supplies are scarce, and humans are having trouble surviving. Ruth is abandoned by her parents and she suddenly finds herself with a magical system. Ruth begins to build the base from scratch and meets a group of very powerful tenants.
