Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies

Chapter 433: Chapter 429 Jealousy

Lin Xiaohui added, “In such an apocalyptic environment, most people definitely wouldn’t want to have children anymore. But if you don’t need to work and can still earn points out of thin air, it’s very tempting for most ordinary people.”

As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the base on time, with the right quality and quantity, you won’t starve. But you also won’t be full.

To be idle at home and still supported by the base is a dream come true for many ordinary people.

“If that’s the case, won’t there be people continuously having children and avoiding work altogether?” Jiang Yan thought of pre-apocalypse times when some sparsely populated Western countries had similar situations.

“Of course, but the base doesn’t oppose it,” Lin Xiaohui said before sighing, “Actually, I’ve come to understand it now. If conditions allow it, why must people work at all?

If you want to prove your worth, there are plenty of ways to do so. It doesn’t have to be through work assigned by others, work that you don’t even like.”

“Which is exactly why I’m still working. But honestly, after everything we’ve been through out there and being separated from Mianmian for so long, I’ve really thought about this question.”
