All the women in the apocalypse are mine

“I’m very satisfied with this place and have no plans to go anywhere else.” Ye Xingluo’s eyes narrowed slightly, her tone carrying a hint of danger. “So… I advise Company Commander Li to make things clear.”

"Ugh... why do the higher-ups always put the hardest jobs on me?" Company Commander Li sighed helplessly, then said seriously, "Ye, do you know... why we designated Tianshui County as a safe zone?"

"Hmm... if it's for defense, it does have a pretty good geographical advantage."

Night Star fell, recalling past memories, and spoke slowly.

“That’s right. Tianshui County is surrounded by water on three sides. According to our observations of the Void creatures, they rarely live in the water and rarely cross rivers to attack humans. They wreak havoc on land more often…” Company Commander Li said slowly. “So in Tianshui County, we only need to block the Void creatures that attack from one side and be wary of flying creatures to ensure people’s safety with a very high probability.”

“Oh? I understand now.” Ye Xinglu said softly, “If I’m not mistaken… this should be the residential area closest to the city wall, right? In other words, it’s the most dangerous place within the safe zone.”

...

Chapter 275 Safety Zone Planning, The Company Commander's Little Thoughts

“That’s right. Because it’s closest to the city wall, even though the conditions are the best, no one wants to live here,” Company Commander Li said helplessly. “If you guys, Ye, are also unwilling, things could get a bit complicated.”

"Okay, I understand the general situation."

Ye Xinglu nodded gently. Since Company Commander Li had chosen to tell the truth, he would not deliberately make things difficult for him.

The safe zone is limited in size, and the survivors already face a tight schedule regarding daily living, not to mention the constant worry about attacks from void creatures.

From Company Commander Li, Ye Xingluo also learned about the overall layout of the safety zone.

The entire safe zone can be roughly divided into four areas: east, west, south, and north. Nightfall's area is located in the east, closest to the defensive city wall. The remaining three areas have canals on their perimeter, which minimizes the threat from the swarm. The military region is located in the very center of the safe zone, ensuring that it can provide support in the shortest possible time no matter which side is in danger.

After Ye Xingluo chose to stay here, Company Commander Li instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

There's no more room in the safe zone to house the survivors, which means someone will definitely have to live in the eastern area. If Ye Xingluo doesn't agree, there will definitely be conflicts with the people in the remaining areas later, since no one will willingly give up a safer living space.

"By the way, after the previous discussions between the military and the civilian Star Favorites..." Company Commander Li suddenly said, "Without violating the rules of the safe zone, the military will not impose too many restrictions on the Star Favorites, but they are required to ensure the safety of their area when the Void Creatures attack. However, ordinary citizens need to be managed uniformly by the military. In order to restore productivity and allow human society to return to its normal function, everyone's efforts are needed."

"Oh? That sounds pretty good."

Night Star fell slowly.

"That's natural. Apart from the East District, which no one wants to live in, the other areas have already returned to their pre-apocalyptic state," Company Commander Li said with some pride. "Under the leadership of the regimental commander, we have restored the use of currency and provided a large number of jobs for ordinary people to earn money. As long as you work hard, you will basically not go hungry every day."

"It seems the military region has quite a large grain reserve..."

"That's all thanks to Ye."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Night Starfall was somewhat surprised.

Do you still remember Miss Mu Rou?

"Mu Rou? I remember now, it's Miss Elf... Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other since we parted ways at the military region."

"Yes, Miss Mu Rou, as an elf, can greatly stimulate the growth potential of plants. When she works with a Star-Chosen One in our military region who can accelerate plant growth, crops can mature in a short time without any side effects. Although the taste is not very good, there is nothing to complain about in the apocalypse. Now, every region has a food store specially set up by our military region, where you can exchange for food using coins made by the military region."

"So that's how it is..."

Night Star murmured softly, "No wonder they let the Star Favorites move around freely... They hold the most fundamental lifeline of the safe zone. Sooner or later, the Star Favorites will have to obey them."

People need to eat to live. Although food can still be found outside now, it will eventually be depleted. At that time, the only food source for people will be the grain cultivation base of the military region.

As expected of a military region, their vision is truly far-sighted.

Ye Xinglu sighed as he thought about the Star Favorites who were still arguing with the military region. They were only on the first level, unaware that the military region had already reached the fifth level.

This tactic is called "retreating to advance" or "boiling a frog in lukewarm water."

The Star Favorites thought they had gotten a good deal, but it was all within the military region's expectations.

Ye Xingluo also glanced at Company Commander Li and gave a soft snort.

What a hypocrite! He keeps saying how difficult things are in the military region and how disobedient the Star Favorites are, but he knows perfectly well what's going on.

However, Ye Xingluo didn't care. Food wasn't a problem for him anyway, and even the military region wouldn't make him do anything he didn't want to do.

Night Starfall's goal was simple: to bring all the beautiful older sisters in the safe zone to his side.

As for how to proceed, after learning so much about the military region, he had a rough idea in mind.

"Money is quite important in the safe zone. All kinds of supplies can be traded for money. Ordinary people need to work to earn currency, but for those favored by the stars, they receive a fixed monthly allowance. The military also periodically issues bounties for finding specific supplies, which the favored can then search for to earn. In short, life in the safe zone is quite easy for those favored by the stars," Company Commander Li chuckled. "If those favored by the stars choose to join the military, there are even more benefits. I wonder if you guys are interested, Ye?"

"Hmph, we've come full circle again." Ye Xinglu waved her hand dismissively, then casually asked, "How are the women you rescued before, those who were harmed by the Evil God Cult, doing now?"

When this matter was mentioned, Company Commander Li let out a long sigh.

"Despite trying many methods, we still haven't achieved anything. Those women... are like they're possessed by demons." Company Commander Li shook his head. "All we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate, doing our best to keep them alive."

“Well, in that case… Company Commander Li, bring them over when you have time,” Ye Xingluo said softly. “We… have the ability to restore them.”

"Really?"

Company Commander Li couldn't help but shout with delight.

You see, those women poisoned by the evil cult caused their military region a huge headache. They had no idea how to deal with them and could only gather them together and try their best to take care of them.

Now that Ye Xingluo has offered to help them deal with it, he has truly helped their military region solve a considerable problem.

"Then I'll go back and inform the regimental commander immediately."

Company Commander Li got up and left, clearly eager to report the good news to his superiors.

"Phew, now that this is our territory, we should give it a good cleaning."

Night Starfall looked at the void creatures attracted by their aura and said softly.

Since the Void Mother Nest has been destroyed, all that's needed is to clear out the remaining Void creatures. Normally, there's no need to worry, as any Void creatures attempting to invade will be dealt with by the military stationed around the city walls.

In the face of a large-scale attack, ordinary people will temporarily hide in pre-built safe houses and wait for the Star Favorites to kill off the invading insects.

"Master, it seems like Teacher Anna is acting strangely again."

Suddenly, a voice came from within the phantom.

"Um...I see..."

Night Star smiled.

"The cleanup is up to you all for now. I need to go get some things for Teacher Anna..."

"Add some magic."

...

Chapter 276 Yunying Wants to Observe

With the combined resistance of the safe zone, the sudden insect attack finally came to an end.

Although the attack came without warning, there were not many casualties thanks to the military's leadership.

Humanity, who thought the abominable void creatures were about to be wiped out and the apocalypse was finally coming to an end, realized at this moment that the so-called apocalypse... seemed to have only just begun.

Anyone who looks at the dark sky will feel a sense of unease.

If the military hadn't brought them to a safe zone beforehand, they might have become food for the void creatures under the overwhelming insect attack.

"What were the results of the probe?"

In the command center, Jin Biao asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the commander, most of the void creatures have been eliminated, and the remaining ones pose no threat. The city defense team can easily eliminate them."

"Yes, stay on guard."

Jin Biao breathed a long sigh of relief; the battle that had lasted for so long was finally over.

These void creatures are really persistent.

I thought I had wiped it out completely, but it reappeared from the crack in the sky.

Fortunately, the rescue operation is nearing its end; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"By the way, has the rescue team that went to Nantong University returned yet?"

Jin Biao sighed and asked, in his heart, the rescue team that went there was already in grave danger.

Even dealing with this situation was quite difficult for me, let alone getting back here under the attack of the swarm of insects.

However, Jin Biao was somewhat surprised by his subordinate's reply.

"Commander, we received a message from Company Commander Li that they... have safely returned to the safe zone."

"It's good that you're back," Jin Biao said slowly. "What about the other teams that were sent out?"

"Reporting to the commander, all the other teams have lost contact and are highly likely to have perished."

"These damned bugs! I'll wipe them all out sooner or later!"

Jin Biao slammed his fist on the table next to him and said in a voice that sounded like he was suppressing his anger.

At the same time, he felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, the coordination team had sent most of the squads to Nantong University. If they had been scattered as before, the sacrifices would have been even greater.

"Commander, I'm back."

Suddenly, Company Commander Li pushed open the door to the command room with some urgency.

"He doesn't even knock on the door. He's over forty years old, how can he be so reckless?"

Although Jin Biao said this, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

"Phew, we didn't fail in our mission, everyone returned safely." Company Commander Li said, a little out of breath. "Luckily, the Star Favorites from Nantong University are very strong, otherwise, we might have perished on the way."

"You've worked hard." Jin Biao patted Company Commander Li on the shoulder. "Is everything arranged properly?"

"Yes, I have described the situation in the military region in detail, and they have agreed to settle in the eastern district."

"Huh? You agreed?"

Jin Biao was somewhat surprised, not expecting anyone to be willing to take on this hot potato.

He had assumed that these unruly Star Favorites would argue over trivial matters for ages.

"They agreed readily, but that's not surprising. With strength comes confidence." Company Commander Li paused for a moment before continuing, "I'll report these details to the regimental commander later. Right now, there's something more important... regarding those women who have left us helpless, Nantong University has someone who can provide treatment."
