15. Direct refusal, Awakened Chen Yang
"Yes, it's fate that we can all come from different places to live in one place, and in such a difficult environment as the apocalypse, we should naturally help each other."
The landlady nodded, confirming Lin Fan's question.
Lin Fan withdrew his gaze and calmly asked again, "Didn't the government tell us to stay home and wait for rescue? Is it really appropriate for us to gather in groups and create trouble like this?"
He asked the question on purpose, wanting to see the other person's reaction.
Unsurprisingly, the landlady's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but she quickly regained her composure and her face once again revealed a charming smile.
"We're just helping each other to survive in this apocalypse, not trying to rebel. The government should understand. We'll disband when the government comes to our aid."
"Will they really disband?"
Lin Fan smiled calmly. From their brief conversation, he had already seen ambition in each other's eyes.
"No, I prefer to be alone, so I won't waste your resources to help me."
Without hesitation, Lin Fan directly declined the invitation.
After saying that, he closed the door without waiting for the other person to say anything more.
The landlady's charming smile slowly faded, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"To think he could ignore my charm ability, this honest tenant seems to be more than he appears."
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the closed door and murmuring to herself.
Yes.
She also awakened a special superpower, but it wasn't the kind of elemental superpower like breathing fire or water; rather, it was a special kind of mental superpower.
This mental superpower is charm, which can influence other people's thoughts and achieve alternative manipulation through continuous influence.
Such manipulation will not turn the affected person into a puppet; they will remain much the same as usual, except that the attitude towards her will change.
Similar to a simp, they are completely obedient to the goddess they admire.
It was because she awakened this superpower that she became so proactive and ambitious.
Before this,
All the tenants she invited were affected by her abilities, and even Chen Yang, who had also awakened superpowers, was no exception.
She originally thought that Lin Fan, who usually seemed honest, would be no exception, but she never expected that he would cause her to encounter a setback for the first time after awakening her abilities.
"Sister Wan'er, what did that guy in room 203 say? Did he agree to join us?"
Just as the landlady was lost in thought, a slightly overweight young man emerged from the stairwell with two other people. He exuded a scorching aura, as if an invisible flame was burning within him.
This man was Chen Yang, who had been cheated on by his wife. After being cheated on and fired from his job, he was extremely depressed before the apocalypse, spending his days drinking in his rented apartment.
But now he is full of vigor and his whole being is radiant.
Approaching the landlady, he smiled arrogantly and reached out to put his arm around her slender waist.
The landlady subtly dodged the question, then shook her head and said, "He refused, saying he's more used to being alone and doesn't want to waste our resources."
"You refused?"
Chen Yang was already somewhat unhappy about being groped, and hearing this news made him even more unhappy.
The low-rent housing complex has seven floors, with about 20 rooms on each floor. There are two to three hundred tenants in total. When the apocalypse came, most of them turned into zombies, but there were also twenty or thirty survivors.
These twenty or thirty survivors, upon learning that this man who had awakened superpowers was going to set up a shelter, joined without hesitation, and many of them even fawned over him and said nice things.
Such smooth sailing and flattery naturally made him arrogant.
How can he be happy when he suddenly hears someone refuse him?
"Damn it, he's asking for it. Looks like I'll have to show him just how hot my flames can be!"
With a stern face, he prepared to teach Lin Fan a lesson for refusing.
Upon hearing this, the landlady spoke up to stop him: "Ah Yang, let it go. Everyone has their own ambitions. Since he is unwilling, there is no need for us to force him. When he realizes how difficult it is to survive alone in the apocalypse, he will naturally change his mind."
"snort!"
Chen Yang sneered, "That ungrateful wretch! Next time he wants to join, he'll have to kneel down and beg me before he can even think about getting into our team!"
The landlady didn't say anything more, but the glint in her eyes from time to time revealed what she was thinking.
inside the house.
Lin Fan ignored what was happening outside. As long as the other party didn't provoke him, there would be no trouble. But if the other party was ungrateful and insisted on causing trouble, he wouldn't mind turning them into experience.
Humans who awaken superpowers are equivalent to mutated zombies and can also be considered mini-bosses.
If the other party is oblivious to their own mortality, he really wouldn't mind taking advantage of them.
Ignoring what happened outside, he went back inside and picked up the noodles on the table to eat.
The noodles were a little clumpy, but the taste was still very good.
I took out my phone to browse the news, and just like that, I ate breakfast while scrolling through my phone, feeling quite relaxed.
However, compared to his comfortable life, the people in the rental house who decided to set up a shelter were not so free.
The rental house has a pretty good structure, with only one main entrance. It has a stainless steel door that can be locked from the inside to avoid most common external dangers.
However, the residents in the rented houses are mostly office workers, and ordinary factory workers who are usually provided with meals and accommodation at the factory, so they have very little food stored at home.
The apocalypse has only been going on for three days, but many households have already run out of food.
Even if there are some reserves left, they won't last long.
To create a stable post-apocalyptic shelter, the food problem must be solved as soon as possible.
Only when there is enough food can people's hearts be at peace.
Even if Chen Yang, the nominal leader, couldn't understand this, the landlady behind the scenes could.
If someone dares to develop ambition so quickly, they must have the ability to sustain that ambition.
Because of this, while Lin Fan was enjoying a delicious breakfast at home, they began to mobilize and prepare to go out to search for survival supplies.
"Don't worry, everyone. With me, Chen Yang, here, you'll all be safe. All you need to do is move the supplies!"
Chen Yang, his face full of arrogance, spoke haughtily to the people who wanted to go out with him.
No one refuted Chen Yang's boastful words, because they had all witnessed his superpowers firsthand.
A fireball was thrown out, and the zombie was instantly burned to a crisp.
With such a person taking the lead, they can indeed just follow along and do the grunt work.
The landlady frowned, but didn't say anything more.
It's good to experience some setbacks; setbacks can weaken a person's will, allowing them to completely control the other party.
The group went out, led by Chen Yang, who had awakened his superpowers.
On a balcony on the second floor, Lin Fan had finished his breakfast and was now standing on the balcony, looking down at the view.
