Chapter 1 A Father's Decision

In the cramped changing room, Qin Hai's face was filled with numbness and despair, his wrinkles etched with resentment and exhaustion.

"So decisive, you surprise me... doesn't sound like something a father would say," Li Tianran said, placing his backpack down and walking towards Qin Yiming, who was sitting in the corner.

Li Tianran's words seemed to sting Qin Hai's heart, his face quickly filling with anger.

As if to explain his decisive decision to sell his son, Qin Hai growled, "What do you know? I used to be a senior manager in a company, but for this son, I quit my job and traveled all over the country with him for treatment, spending all my savings!"

"I was forced to move from a high-end residential building to a crowded shantytown, but even so, I still took out my remaining savings to buy him a computer for his interests..."

"My whole life has been changed by him, I've already done right by him!"

"But with the current situation, I really can't continue to take care of him..."

"Even I could die at any moment."

"If I die, he can only wait for death."

"Instead of that, it's better to let him put his skills to use, maybe it will be beneficial to both of us..."

*Thud!*

Li Tianran stopped, not bothering to listen to Qin Hai's explanation.

Every family has its own troubles.

His time was short, and he had no interest in listening to other people's suffering and then offering unsolicited advice. He just wanted what was his.

Qin Yiming tilted his head, staring blankly at Li Tianran.

Rows of neat data appeared in Li Tianran's eyes.

Qin Yiming.

18 years old.

But due to being confined to a wheelchair for a long time, his body had begun to atrophy, making him look like a six or seven-year-old child, withered and frail.

At this moment, a sad and distraught expression appeared on his somewhat comical face.

"Dad... don't sell... don't sell me."

Qin Yiming reached out his withered fingers, two lines of clear tears streaming down his face. "I'll... be good... in the future..."

"Don't you understand? Your father can't afford to raise you anymore... Do you want to watch your father die in front of you, or do you want your father to watch you die in front of him?" Li Tianran crouched down and said softly, "Come with me."

Qin Hai turned his head away, his body as stiff as a statue, not moving at all.

Qin Yiming finally understood his father's thoughts, and a look of extreme grief appeared on his face as he cried loudly.

Li Tianran waited quietly for Qin Yiming to finish crying.

"I have the most advanced computers there, the most innovative mecha programs, and I can even turn the plans in the programs into reality. If you are useful enough, your life will open a new chapter." Li Tianran grabbed Qin Yiming's shoulders and lifted him up, "Let me see your strength."

As soon as Li Tianran said these words, the sad and desperate expression on Qin Yiming's face dissipated a lot, and even a fanatical light spread from the depths of his eyes.

Although Qin Yiming was mentally ill, he was well aware of what his father's attitude meant at this time.

Since the situation was irreversible, it was better to accept reality calmly than to beg bitterly.

"I understand, I'll... go... with you." Qin Yiming spat out these words with difficulty.

*Whoosh!*

Li Tianran dumped everything out of his large backpack, then stuffed Qin Yiming's small body into the backpack, leaving only a gap.

"Dad... I'm sorry... for being... a burden." As he passed Qin Hai, a stumbling voice came from the backpack.

Qin Hai's expression was indifferent, and he didn't say a word.

Li Tianran asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything else you need to take?"

"That CD case... on the table..." Qin Yiming said haltingly.

Li Tianran reached out to take the CD case, but Qin Hai suddenly spoke, "What you gave me is just the price for buying him! If you want that CD... you have to add more!"

Li Tianran's movements froze for a moment, and he slowly turned his head to look at Qin Hai.

Qin Hai was expressionless. "Bring the same things, and these CDs are yours."

Li Tianran suddenly laughed.

There is never a shortage of unscrupulous merchants who raise prices on the spot in this world.

He said calmly, "I definitely don't have any food or water, but I can replace it with something else."

"Medicine will also work," Qin Hai said in a low voice.

*Snap!*

Li Tianran opened his windbreaker, revealing a black pistol on his waist.

"I can't give you the gun, but I can give you two bullets, do you want them?" Li Tianran said expressionlessly, "Free delivery to your door, with a one-stop service including encoffining and cremation! What's up, want a set?"

The expression on Qin Hai's face twitched, he swallowed hard, and didn't dare to continue speaking.

*Snap!*

"Damn, doesn't know his place..." Li Tianran grabbed the CD case on the table with an expressionless face, and strode away.

...

The apocalypse is a freak, it will breed many monsters.

Just like Qin Yiming's father, he may have once been a qualified father.

But under this terrifying pressure, his mentality had also changed, turning him into an unscrupulous merchant who only sought survival...

Li Tianran had seen a lot of news, some parents who had taken care of their disabled children for a long time finally broke down and strangled their children with their own hands.

Li Tianran didn't want to criticize them, but he would never be a sucker because he sympathized with them.

Following the previous route, he bypassed the military police patrol area very quickly, carrying Qin Yiming on his back, disappearing into the night like a gust of wind.

...

Qin Yiming only felt that he had spent a long time in endless darkness and turbulence.

When his eyes saw the light again, he saw a familiar face.

"Ding... Ding Lu..." Qin Yiming was a little dazed, he saw his only "friend" in the past.

"Looks like I found the right person."

Li Tianran put Qin Yiming on the sofa and rubbed his shoulders.

He suddenly found it funny.

Ding Lu originally stuttered, and Qin Yiming was mentally disabled...

How come all the employees he hired were physically disabled?

Should he change the name of his farm?

Call it "The Determined Disabled - Designated Re-employment Unit for the Disabled"!

"Boss, it's him! His abilities will definitely not disappoint you!" Ding Lu said excitedly, pressing Qin Yiming's shoulders. "Yiming, quickly show the boss the programs you programmed, show all your abilities, don't hold back anything!"

Qin Yiming was silent for a moment, he was originally very scared, but he felt a lot more at ease after seeing Ding Lu.

"I need... a computer above 7.0ghz." Qin Yiming stammered, "The graphics card and motherboard must be top-notch!"
