What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

But it's clear that his grandmother's family doesn't think that way. Renting is nothing compared to being allocated a house. They think that if they fight for it, they might have a chance to stay here!

They just looked around and found this place to be much better than Xiyue. They heard that many things from Xiyue are imported from here. In the past, Nanling was short of people and people could come in freely, but now that there are more people, the restrictions are strict.

Now that such a rare opportunity has presented itself, wouldn't it be a waste not to go in? Regardless, she was determined to stay, and the old lady immediately began to throw a tantrum and act like a rogue.

Others started making a fuss too. Chen Ping seemed easy to talk to, but in reality, he was harder-hearted than anyone else. Although their base urgently needed researchers, they didn't need one or two more. He always preferred to solve problems directly from the root.

"Since you are not satisfied with our arrangements, how about this: although the number of researchers is in short supply, we cannot let your family suffer. Sir, how about we send your family back?"

The researcher named Gavin, who was about to be sent back, became anxious. This was an opportunity he had fought hard for. He had worked in aerospace before the apocalypse, and although times had changed, his interests and hobbies had remained the same.

But now, seeing these relatives, he knows that staying would only cause trouble, so he has a "let it go" mentality. Oh well, that's how it is. Maybe his life is just meant to be this awful.

He knew exactly how eccentric his relatives were, and he didn't want to bring them along at all, but he couldn't stop them. They insisted on coming along, causing a lot of trouble along the way.

Whenever he was about to lose his temper, his relatives would use their kindness to suppress him, not for any other reason than that he was adopted and the kindness they showed him in raising him was greater than anything else.

Hearing Chen Ping say this, Gavin's eccentric relatives became anxious. "Hey, hey, hey, no, no, let's talk this out. It's not impossible. Let's do this: we'll stay in this family compound, and let Gavin rent a small single room outside."

They did want Gavin to rent a big house for them, but they had just found out that renting a house at the South Ridge base was very expensive, and Gavin's salary simply couldn't afford the big house they wanted.

Besides, living outside is nowhere near as comfortable as living here. There are special access cards, and all the neighbors are researchers with good benefits, so of course they want to live here.

Chen Ping glanced at these people who were clearly still up to trouble, used his supernatural abilities to deduce some interesting things, and put aside the trouble he originally wanted to deal with. He could use it to promote the new products in their base's online store.

Chen Ping looked at Gavin and, seeing that he didn't react, didn't say anything more. On the contrary, the family living next door to Gavin frowned. Who would want to be neighbors with such a family!

They didn't mince words and directly asked Chen Ping to change their accommodation in front of them, but Chen Ping reassured them with a smile, "Don't worry, there's a transparent wall between the two households on each floor of the building, so they can't get to your place without permission."

"Moreover, each of them has its own elevator, so you can say that you have no contact with them at all. The walls of the room are also equipped with spatial isolation technology, so no matter what sounds are made over there, you can be sure that you can't hear them."

Hearing this, the family of three, who had originally wanted to change rooms, breathed a sigh of relief. That was not bad. They couldn't come over, so even if they had a huge fight, it wouldn't affect them. Even if the fire started, it wouldn't spread to them. Even if the house was blown up, it wouldn't have much of an impact on them.

They didn't even have to share an elevator, which was great. This way, they had almost no interaction. On the contrary, the people in the same row as them subconsciously frowned, showing some aversion.

What kind of good family would they be if they could exclude the core members and stay behind to live with them?

However, the matter was temporarily settled. Chen Ping privately mentioned it to Lu Yize, suggesting that Gavin should not be given important responsibilities for the time being, to avoid any problems that might arise later that would be difficult to handle.

Lu Yize not only heard about Gavin's bizarre story, but also obtained Chen Ping's investigation report. He was best at tracking and collecting information, so he could detect many things from the details.

Lu Yize scoffed when he saw the contents of the report, thinking that Gavin was just as stupid as he was in his previous life. He put down the report and said to Chen Ping, "Do it according to your plan."

After Chen Ping left Lu Yize's office, he heard an argument coming from not far away. Chen Si ran over to report, looking like he didn't care about stirring things up, "Boss! That family is fighting again, and now they've even started hitting each other!"

"What's the matter this time?"

Even if Chen Si, this strange plant, doesn't join the hunting group, he could still become a paparazzi. He's drowsy when studying, but very knowledgeable when gossiping.

"It's not a big deal. Our base has a daily allocation of supplies and food, right? We give these researchers and their families three spots, but they brought thirteen people with them. Obviously, the daily supplies aren't enough for them."

"Moreover, to receive supplies, you need to work to earn points, but everyone wants their share of food, yet nobody wants to work. In the end, only Gavin received the daily supplies, so the others started to steal them."

"But that little bit of supplies wasn't enough to feed those dozen or so people, so they started causing trouble again. You know how the alien beasts in the base are; many of them have short tempers. They were making such a racket in public, so we beat them up without saying a word."

"The patrolmen saw them and tried to extort money from them, but the base's rules and regulations clearly state that if public order is disturbed, ordinary people in the base also have the right to stop them. Now they are making a scene, saying that Nanling is bullying people, and they want to drag everyone else in the entire research institute down with them."

"After a while, the people at the research institute got angry and started to attack them. By the time the researcher named Gavin arrived, things were already out of control. His family of more than a dozen people were beaten up horribly."

Listening to Chen Si's vivid description of these things, Chen Ping felt that it would be a waste of Chen Si's talent if she didn't become a stand-up comedian.

Chen Ping, whose ears had been rubbed raw the whole way, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the scene of the incident. Chen Si's incessant nagging had finally stopped. He wondered if she had been suffocating when she was a plant, which was why she talked so much now.

Chen Si looked at Gavin, who was surrounded and being criticized, and didn't say much. However, when he walked forward, the indignant people who had surrounded them all made way for him.
