Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Mary dug out a large gray backpack from the pile of clothes. The backpack was made of waterproof material, and was large, light and sturdy. She stared at the bag for a long time and remembered that it seemed to be a gift for a piece of clothing she liked very much when she went shopping after receiving a guest.

Backpack, nutrient solution, flint, medicine bag, Mary changed out of her heavy metal clothes that were beautiful but not warm or strong, and put on a set of long clothes and trousers that would have been laughed at by others for being ugly and shriveled. After doing all this, she was so tired that she lay down on the bed for a while. The mirrored ceiling reflected her face with residual makeup.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Mary laughed to herself for a while, and then she regained her strength. She removed her makeup for the last time, cut her beautiful long silver hair, carefully removed her manicure, took a good hot bath, and pinned her dog-chewed short hair with a hat. Mary struggled to carry her backpack, and at five in the morning when all night workers were resting, she ran towards the sunrise.

No one paid any attention to her, except for the homeless people on the street who glanced at her from their messy hair, assessed her worth, then lowered their heads without interest, picked up the wine bottle beside them, took a sip, and muttered something vaguely in their throat.

"...Another one running away..."

Mary is not the first, nor the last. Some people have imagined countless times what they would do if they had a chance to leave Philie City. Some people have hated the unfair treatment in the city for a long time.

"Why are some citizens living in the inner city, enjoying the best treatment and resources, while we live in the outer city, working hard our entire lives and still can't even earn enough to buy a piece of clothing..."

She said this, but when Ke Xin really let her mother seize this opportunity to leave, she, who usually complained the most, was strangely unwilling to leave.

"Mom, let's go, let's get out of here. I saw a lot of people left last night."

"What do you know? Although Feilie City has its drawbacks, at least life is guaranteed. If you go outside, as a girl, nowhere is safe. You won't have a job, and you won't even have enough to eat. And your brother finally has a chance to go to the inner city, and it's a critical moment. If you escape, what if someone seizes this opportunity to report your brother..."

Ke Xin pursed her lips and listened to her mother's scolding. She felt depressed. She wanted to yell at her mother and ask her why her brother had never come back to see her since he started working and she was the one who had supported her. Why did she always fail to see her good side and always mention that person?

When she followed him out, didn't she praise him for being the most diligent and capable girl?!

But when she looked up, Ke Xin saw her mother's white hair from overwork, the wrinkles on her yellow face, and the thick scars on her hands. She had worked very hard over the years. Ke Xin closed her eyes and asked, "Are you going or not?"

She had already used her connections to buy supplies, and because of her job, Ke Xin even stayed up late to assemble and modify an exoskeleton, which could be converted into a small car when going outside. Compared to other people who left with bags on their backs, it was easier for her to carry more supplies.

"Have you listened to what those colleagues said again? I told you, those people are just alarmists. The ones who truly care about you are your family..."

Faced with Ke Xin's question, Ke Xin's mother looked at her, as if burned by the seriousness in her eyes. After a moment, she looked away and started chattering again, wiping the table over and over again with her hands.

But he avoided her question.

But she has grown up. When will you respect my opinion as much as you respect your brother's?

Ke Xin closed her eyes. She didn't want to continue wasting time like this. She sat on the table for a while, her hands still shaking. For this opportunity, she almost didn't rest for the whole night. She also completed the modifications for several other colleagues who wanted to leave before they had the chance to get the things. After all, she had nothing but excellent skills and had no connections to get these things.

She sat for a while. Seeing her like this, her nagging mother slowly wiped the table and went to the shower room to start running hot water for her. "You look so tired. Those people must have been cheating again and pushed the work onto you..."

Ke Xin did not explode. She admitted that she was a soft-hearted person. She put her salary card on the table in the living room. She had no secrets from her mother, and Kami also knew it. She had to leave. Since her mother refused to leave, the money would be useless outside anyway, so she might as well leave it all to her. Taking advantage of this time, Ke Xin returned to the bedroom and packed some clothes, nutrient solution and her own work box.

"I'm going to work overtime. Contact your brother less and don't give him any money."

Ke Xin looked at her mother who had finished running the hot water and started washing and hanging clothes, and said softly.

As usual, her mother didn't say anything, and Ke Xin didn't want to argue with her anymore, so she took her things, closed the door and left.

She wanted to tear apart the sticky and painful flesh and blood of her loved ones and live her own free life.
