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

Chapter 359 Good Luck

However, this guy named Lei Jie was unlucky. He happened to run into Sheng Xue reviving Fan Jian. With Fan Jian's matter in mind, Sheng Xue couldn't care less about Lei Jie or Lei En.

Normally, once Sheng Xue saw his resume, her team would have handed it over to her, and then she would have approved it and sent out an interview invitation. But now Sheng Xue is nowhere to be seen, and her team members have submitted their resumes, but no one is looking at them.

The matter was temporarily delayed, causing Lei Jie to inquire around about how long it usually takes to get a reply, and whether he would receive a text message notification if the reply was not accepted.

Scratching his head, fidgeting, sighing and complaining, he pleaded, "Give me a word, just give me a reply!"

Seeing how nervous he was, Xian Wenrui smiled and reassured him, "You applied to the medical research group, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Jie's eyes immediately focused on Xian Wenrui. "Yes, I applied for medical research, which is my old profession. However, I'm not sure if I can keep up with these studies in this era of superpowers."

Unfortunately, times are changing too fast, and many things from the past have to be overturned and rebuilt. Although Lei Jie is confident in the knowledge he has accumulated in the past, he doesn't know much about things like superpowers.

Seeing his hesitation and unease, Xian Wenrui smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, the head of the medical team is a bit busy these days. Whatever the result, she will get back to you. Just wait patiently."

Although Xian Wenrui felt that Lei Jie would most likely join Sheng Xue's medical research group, he couldn't make the decision for Sheng Xue, so he didn't rule it out.

However, such people are usually quite intelligent, and Xian Wenrui made another promise: "Your resume is excellent. Even if you don't make it into the medical research group, I would still welcome you to join our scientific research experimental group."

Honestly, if Lei Jie's expertise wasn't a better fit for Sheng Xue, Xian Wenrui definitely wouldn't have let such a talent slip through his fingers.

"Really?!" Lei Jie asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you? If you really don't make it into the medical team, just send me your resume. I have quite a few jobs that would suit you, but I don't think the medical team will miss out on you. Just wait for the results."

Lei Jie, who had been feeling frustrated and unfulfilled since the apocalypse, finally felt relieved upon hearing Xian Wenrui's promise. He nodded excitedly in gratitude, saying, "With your words, I can finally rest easy."

Having received confirmation from Xian Wenrui, Lei Jie returned to his family's single room and found that his wife had already prepared a delicious meal from the food they had received that day, and their two children were sitting at the table.

Their youngest daughter, Nina, has regained consciousness after finishing her IV drip and medication. Nina, who previously couldn't eat anything, can now eat several kilograms of food by herself.

They weren't worried about Nina eating too much, but they were afraid she wouldn't have an appetite. The couple were overjoyed to see this, and their eldest son was also happy that his sister was recovering her health, so he even saved his share of food for her.

Seeing his son, who wasn't much older than his daughter, so well-behaved and sensible, Lei Jie felt a pang of sadness. This was because when they were in Xiyue, their main food and resources came from Renn, so these children were sensible and knew they couldn't eat too much.

Now that Lei Jie has arrived here, his frustration has gradually subsided.

“Nick, you can eat your own food. We won’t go hungry anymore. We have enough food, and even if Dad can’t find a job, he will work hard to do missions to support the family and will try his best to feed you.”

Although he wasn't very familiar with Nanling, his family saw hope in it, a chance to survive as ordinary people.

Just as Xian Wenrui said, Sheng Xue's previous lack of response was simply due to Fan Jian's matter. With Lei Jie's abilities, joining her research group would not be a problem. What she lacks most right now is such a professional talent.

On the day they received the offer, Lei Jie and his family had a meal together. Although they lived separately after arriving, they kept in touch and seemed to be doing well, judging from their mental state.

The family gathered at Rennes' house, as his residence was the largest, while everyone else had one-bedroom apartments. Only Rennes' house was a suite for one person.

They were certainly envious, but they didn't have any other thoughts, because once their children grew up, they would be able to have their own place to live. It was actually quite comfortable for the two of them, like Ryan's grandparents, to live in a single room.

As for whether they can live to see their children grow up, they might not have dared to think about it before, but for some reason, they dare to imagine the future here. They want to work hard, earn more Universal Coins, and live a good life.

At the dinner table, Ryan touched his little niece's head to make sure she didn't have a fever, then grinned and asked, "Is she all better now?"

Lei Jie nodded happily, "Yes, it's mostly healed. It's just that Captain Chen told me to bring the child to pick up a protective gear that the experimental group specially designed for Nina in a couple of days."

Lei Jie patted his youngest daughter who was eating. "Captain Chen said that the reason why Nina awakened early was because she had a strong talent for superpowers. But she is still young, and he was afraid that she would use her superpowers to hurt people unconsciously. So he specially designed a protective gear for her to prevent her from hurting her family."

Actually, Chen Mingzhang only mentioned to Lei Jie that he had designed a small item for Nina and told him to remember to pick it up in a couple of days.

This was like a toy to Xian Wenrui and his family, taking up little time, but it was of great significance to Lei Jie's family, who were even more grateful to the people at the Nanling Base.

Reggie and Ryan's sister, Bonna, was also very happy, saying, "I found a suitable job today too."

"real?!"

Good news kept coming one after another. Bona nodded a little shyly. Back at the Xiyue base, her brother's brilliance was so strong that no matter what she did, she was always seen as relying on him.

However, now that he has arrived in Nanling, he finds that there are many fourth-tier individuals, which makes his brother seem less special. Everyone else is busy with their own lives and their attention is not on others.

For Bona, who is somewhat socially anxious, this is great. Now, when she thinks about her work, Bona shares it with her family with a smile.

"There aren't many fire-type ability users in the base, but the post-apocalyptic world is often freezing cold, with temperatures dropping to minus 80 or 90 degrees Celsius. To maintain a normal temperature supply in the base in the future, we need fire-type ability users. So when they learned that I was a fire-type ability user, they were very happy to invite me to join."

Actually, she found a job a few days faster than her older brother Lei Jie, but he hadn't received a reply. She was worried that her finding a job would make him even more anxious, so she didn't say anything.

She only breathed a sigh of relief and told him about finding a job after receiving the good news that her older brother had found one today.
