While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Luo Ning felt somewhat powerless. Xiao Jie's kiss was nothing like his gentle nature; it was more like that of a wolfhound.

"That's fine then, but I won't let you off the hook next time."

She leaned on Xiao Jie's shoulder and yawned, her meaning clear.

Xiao Jie carried him to the bathtub, thinking to himself, "It's still uncertain who will let whom go."

After Xiao Jie helped Luo Ning take a bath and dried her hair, he carried her to bed.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should go out or not.

Although they became much closer after they got together, he never let her stay overnight in his room.

But now he doesn't want to leave, he doesn't want to leave her even for a moment.

Finally, he got into bed, gazing adoringly at the sleeping Luo Ning, "Baby~"

The next day.

123 I woke up to find that my strategy points had increased again.

It cried out in surprise and ran towards Luo Ning's room, but before it could even crash into the door...

The door opened from the inside.

Looking at the male protagonist standing at the door, the words "1, 2, 3" stuck in her throat.

Before it could speak again, Xiao Jie covered its mouth, picked it up, and went outside.

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~"

"Don't talk, you're too noisy and you're waking her up. We can talk about it when she wakes up."

Once they reached the kitchen, Xiao Jie finally released 123.

123 didn't say anything, just crossed her arms and looked at him.

Xiao Jie continued making breakfast, ignoring 123's stares.

123 jumped onto Xiao Jie's shoulder and peered into his neck to look at the red marks.

"Hmph~"

"Hmph, go play if you have nothing to do."

Xiao Jie slowly pulled down his collar, revealing faint red marks underneath, which were not concealed at all.

"Male lead, what did you do in the host's room last night? Your conquest points have increased again," 123 asked, arms crossed.

Xiao Jie suddenly turned to look at it, "I haven't asked you yet, what's the use of these strategy points, and what happens when they're full?"

"Once my strategy points are full, I can contact the main god, and the male and female protagonists can be together happily ever after," 123 said excitedly.

"The male and female leads?" Xiao Jie continued, "I'm the male lead, and your host is the female lead, right?"

123 figured that since she had already revealed everything to the male lead, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Yeah, if the strategy points were full, it would be good for you, the host, and me. It's a pity that they're never full."

Xiao Jie only heard the words "to be together happily ever after." If the strategy points were full, they could be together forever.

"How can I max out my strategy points?"

Hearing his words, 123 snorted softly, "That's a question for you, the male lead."

"What does this have to do with me?" Xiao Jie asked, puzzled.

"The 'strategy value' is the degree of a boy's affection for the host. Even though the male lead is already with the host and stayed in the host's room last night, he doesn't seem to like the host wholeheartedly." 123 pointed at Xiao Jie and accused him.

Xiao Jie is innocent. His sincerity towards her is undeniable. He was completely devoted to her. From the very beginning, he only loved her.

"It must be your strategy guide system that's broken. No, you're not allowed to say that again."

Xiao Jie pushed 123 out of the kitchen; his sincerity didn't need to be judged by any strategy system.

123 wasn't sure if there was a problem with their strategy system, so they could only scratch their heads and leave.

When Luo Ning got up, everything at home had returned to normal.

She said while eating, "We're going to the Helin base today."

We need to open the store there as soon as possible and earn some start-up capital.

I'll open another shop at the Xuanwu base, and then I'll go on a mission.

Thinking about going to various bases in the future, Luo Ning thought about opening one or more stores in each base.

That would turn it into a post-apocalyptic chain of family supermarkets, and she wouldn't have to worry about crystal cores anymore.

She can guarantee that her shop will never lack customers.

She enthusiastically shared her thoughts with Xiao Jie, who nodded with a smile.

"Your idea is great. We can't possibly eat all the food on our terrace anyway, so selling it is a good idea. Do whatever you want, I'll help you."

Luo Ning nodded. The things on the terrace did indeed need Xiao Jie to take care of them; she couldn't manage to farm every day.

Without Xiao Jie's help, she probably would have just grown a little bit for herself.

In the past, if only one person was full, the whole family wouldn't be hungry, but that's no longer the case.

123 is a glutton, consuming dozens or even hundreds of crystal cores a day, and that's with it controlling its intake.

45 Sometimes they are too lazy to go out hunting, but they still need to eat.

Besides, there's Xiao Jie and her; they both need crystal cores to enhance their abilities.

And acquiring weapons from the official sources—none of these can be done without crystal cores.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt I needed to make money with crystals and exchange the resources I had for cash as soon as possible.

After finishing their meal, Luo Ning said goodbye to Old Fu and prepared to leave.

"Be careful out there, and contact me anytime if anything happens."

Knowing he couldn't keep Luo Ning, Old Fu could only offer a few words of advice.

"I know, Old Man Fu, I'll be back as soon as possible." Luo Ning waved his hand.

The enormous mobile castle slowly drove out of the Xuanwu base.

When Fu Xing and the others came back, Luo Ning's RV was no longer there.

They felt somewhat lost, but being with Miss Luo allowed them to temporarily forget the harsh realities of the outside world.

Miss Kolo only stayed at the base for a few days. Looking at the empty parking spaces, they felt like they were dreaming.

Seeing that they were all rather downcast, Fu Xing slapped each of them on the back.

"What's there to be disappointed about? Once Miss Luo's business is finished, we'll be going on a mission with her again in a while."

Fu Xing's tone held a hint of anticipation; this was probably the mission he had been most looking forward to.

With Miss Luo around, he can be a good-for-nothing again and doesn't have to worry about these kids anymore.

"Really? Captain?" Liang Xiao stared in surprise.

"Really?" Shen Yi was also happy.

Cheng Rang and Zhou Jibai also looked at Fu Xing, wondering when this decision was made.

"Of course it's true. We'll set off once Miss Luo has finished her business."

"But Captain, isn't there news that it'll be extremely cold and dark soon? Will we still be able to go on missions?"

Liang Xiao questioned, "Currently, only the major bases across the country have relatively stable power supply. If it's truly extreme cold and darkness, how will they carry out their missions?"

"We won't go on missions if conditions are tough. The mutated animals and zombies outside don't care about extreme cold or polar night. They'll grow if they want to, and attack if they want to."

Liang Xiao scratched his head. "That's true."

This is the apocalypse, so what if there's no electricity? Even if it's raining knives from the sky, they still have to go on missions when it's time to go.
