Apocalyptic Farmer

"System, how much more do I need to upgrade my farm to level 3?"

[Dear Farmer, your current experience level is 142,330, which is approximately 86 short of one million.]

The system has stopped assigning tasks, meaning that the only way to gain more farm experience is through planting.

Liu Hao walked to the edge of the farmland and brought up the farmland interface and special items.

[Farmland Interface: One acre of fertile land: 5883 cauliflower plants (It is estimated that after 89 days, you will receive 5883 cauliflower plants and 58830 farm experience points.)]

[Special Items: 69 Tier 1 Crystal Cores, 102 Organic Fertilizers, 19 Organic Feeds.]

Liu Hao frowned. If they planted like this, 100 portions of organic fertilizer would only yield a maximum of 500,000 farm experience points.

Even after such a thrilling battle, not a single zombie has appeared in Longshan Lake where I am. I'm afraid... I'll have to go out again.

Today's task is to have dinner and use up all the organic fertilizer overnight.

Grind farm experience like crazy!

Meanwhile, on the convoy heading to the Happiness Base.

"Damn Liu Hao!" Ding Cheng roared in the car.

Originally... only one major power remained in Nanjiang City, and the other smaller teams would gradually be absorbed.

Originally... he would have been in charge of everything in Nanjiang City.

But all of this was completely ruined by a farm owner using a cow and a trap!

"Mr. Ding, what's the next step?"

Ding Cheng was so angry that he could hardly breathe. After taking a few deep breaths, he looked at the team members who were driving.

"Find me a good feng shui place to bury all the brothers who died fighting for the Happiness Base."

"Their families can still receive supplies, and then tell everyone in the base that the Armed Police Base, Liu Hao, and others wanted to annex us, and that they used vicious methods, including killing our commander."

"From today onwards, I am the new commander."

"Yes, Commander Ding." The superhuman turned and started driving.

If we were to say that, in the eyes of all the survivors of the Happiness Base, besides Wang Shen, only Ding Cheng could lead them further.

After all, everyone knows that Wang Shen is all talk and no action, but Ding Cheng has truly contributed a great deal to the base.

Communications, order, electricity...

Ding Cheng turned his head to look at the passing scenery, his mind in turmoil.

From the first time I saw Liu Hao ignoring acid rain from a drone, to the inexplicable expansion of his farm, and now to his ignoring bullets.

He's even more extraordinary than I am.

"Who exactly is the protagonist of this apocalypse?"

For the first time, he doubted himself. In his student days, he was an unparalleled genius, winning scholarships for his combined master's and doctoral studies, and was definitely the protagonist.

When the apocalypse came, he gathered a large number of survivors in just a few days by relying on his wisdom. He was even among the first to discover the secrets of first-tier zombies and first-tier crystal cores, thus ushering in the era of superpowers.

But... this time, he lost miserably.

"Everyone has weaknesses. I don't believe you're truly invincible!"

He then took out his tablet and opened the replay of the afternoon's battle.

The drone video clearly showed everything that happened after they arrived at the farm.

Ding Cheng watched the replay frame by frame... trying to find Liu Hao's weakness.

......

At the Armed Police base, Lin Chen's return brought peace of mind to the remaining survivors and superhumans.

Lin Chen is an upright person who knows how to adapt, and he is indeed respected.

The first thing he did upon returning was to settle accounts with all those who had betrayed the base while he was away!

In the end times, betrayal is an absolutely unforgivable sin.

After the cleanup, there are now only 11 people who are truly members of the Chinese Armed Police Force. The rest are all non-official personnel, 288 people have superpowers, and 630 survivors have not yet awakened their superpowers.

This time, he no longer held back. The eleven of them immediately set up an emergency training class to provide emergency training on armed police and military equipment to everyone.

A city's armed police base has far more than just three armed helicopters.

However, all of this requires skilled personnel to operate, so Lin Chen's idea is to rely on these nearly one thousand people to rebuild a new armed police force and give them a real organizational structure.

Furthermore, the superpowered squads were officially established, with each superpower's role subdivided into four categories: assault, interception, control, and support.

All of them were officially designated as the People's Armed Police of China.

"With internal troubles and chaos, how can we govern a country?" Lin Chen sent this organizational structure to the headquarters of the Chinese Armed Police, even though they might not receive it.

Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province.

A group of generals in military uniforms sat in a conference room filled with screens.

They all sighed.

"The satellite signal was interrupted by an unknown energy source, which was initially determined to be the superpower of a high-level zombie. After the capital issued a notice mobilizing the entire population, we have not been able to contact them since."

The middle-aged liaison officer, who was giving a report, stopped and switched the screen to the large screen that was currently displaying the report.

"General Qin, the list of survivors in Hangzhou has been released."

"Acid rain has fallen, and the troops stationed in Zhejiang Province are still conducting field training... Only a small number have survived by sheer luck, less than one in a thousand..."

On the screen, a string of bright red numbers appeared before my eyes.

Hangzhou's permanent population: 1270 million, with 1.2 still alive; among them, 1000 have awakened supernatural abilities.

Of the 3 troops, reserve forces, and local armed police stationed in Hangzhou, 2321 survived; among them, 1800 awakened supernatural abilities.

Qin Zhan, the commander of the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region, was already 62 years old. Upon seeing the news, he was stunned and slumped into his chair, his eyes reddening.

"The warriors of China..."

The middle-aged liaison officer continued his report: "The emergence of superhumans has made the apocalypse even more chaotic. Now, many different voices are coming out of the city, all of which are expressions of freedom of speech in the apocalypse. I'm afraid that the emergence of second-tier superhumans will make things even more chaotic."

"Who gave them the audacity?" The old man sitting to the side was none other than Li Shouchuan, the governor of Zhejiang Province, who snorted coldly.

"They are digging a grave for the very foundation of Chinese civilization!"

dong dong dong...

At that moment, a liaison officer outside the door knocked nervously.

"Reporting to the General, urgent military intelligence! An urgent message has arrived from the Armed Police Base in Nanjiang City, Zhejiang Province."

"What?" Everyone stood up. This was the first report from Zhejiang Province to higher authorities since the apocalypse!

"Quick, bring the documents over!"

Before long, more than a dozen printed copies were placed in front of the various bigwigs.

[Post-apocalyptic situation report of the Armed Police Base in Nanjiang City, Zhejiang Province]

Dear superiors:

The following is a summary of recent events...

V. Follow-up Work:

1. In response to the central government's call for all citizens to serve in the military, the Nanjiang City Armed Police Detachment has established four special ability detachments: assault, blocking, control, and support.

All of them were officially enlisted in the Chinese People's Armed Police and directly enjoyed the rank of Second Lieutenant...

This is to report.

Presenter: Lin Chen

"Fine, a major directly promotes nearly three hundred second lieutenants? Where does he put the system? Where does he put the rules?" The major general, sitting third from the left, slammed his fist on the table, his anger undisguised.

As a top supporter of conservatives, Meng Zhe, commander of the Zhejiang Provincial Garrison Army, firmly opposes the emergence of people who disrupt order.

"Yeah, isn't this ridiculous? If we keep doing this, won't Hangzhou end up with nearly 3000 more second lieutenants? What will the people who joined the army think then?"

"No, we must refuse outright and remove Lin Chen from his position."

Qin Zhan thought differently. If superhumans could join the army, the number of superhumans scattered outside would be reduced, thus preventing too many civil wars and allowing the army to focus on fighting off zombies.

However, wherever there are people, there are social dynamics and class distinctions.

"Shut up, all of you! What time is it and you're still arguing?" Qin Zhan said coldly, his expression solemn. "I think Lin Chen did the right thing, and we should learn from him."

The generals looked at each other, none of them daring to utter a word of rebuttal, for Qin Zhan was a high-ranking and powerful commander.

"Military Region Order! Effective immediately, all military units stationed in Hangzhou will fully implement the Nanjiang model and carry out comprehensive military restructuring!"

"Gather all those with superpowers and incorporate them all into the regular armed police force, uniformly dividing them into four superpower detachments."

"From now on, all awakened superhumans must register with the Superhuman Ability Squad according to the classification of their abilities."

"Yes..." The generals bowed their heads and accepted the order.

However, Provincial Governor Li Shouchuan noticed another person in the document.

"A farm? Invincible? Unkillable by bullets? They rescued him."
