All the women in the apocalypse are mine

"By the way, boss, I heard your wife is about to give birth, right?"

During their casual conversation, one of his men asked with a smile.

"Yes, the doctor said it happened in the last few days and told me to give my wife more nutrition." The Minister of Guards couldn't help but sigh as he said this. "My wife found out she was pregnant when the apocalypse happened. I thought I wouldn't make it to the day the baby is born, but I didn't expect that she would actually make it through."

"Yeah, life is much better in the safe zone. We don't have to live in constant fear like before." The subordinate sighed, but then asked with a smile, "Boss, do you want a boy or a girl?"

"Nonsense, it's definitely a girl!" the Minister of Defense said without any hesitation. "If my daughter is lucky enough to become a maid for a princess, I won't have to worry for the rest of my life."

"Boss, didn't I remember you saying before that you absolutely had to have a son to carry on the family line?"

“Sigh…” the Minister of Defense sighed. “In this world, for ordinary soldiers like us with no background, having a son is pure suffering, but having a daughter is different. If she turns out to be a good girl and catches the eye of a princess, it can elevate the whole family to the top.”

Is it really that exaggerated?

Some of his subordinates asked, puzzled.

"You know what, it's true. You should know Old Li from the North District. He lost everything at the casino and owed Zhang San, the boss of the North District, a lot of money. Zhang San was going to chop off all his fingers and toes and feed them to the dogs, but then he had a good daughter who passed the princess's interview and became a maid. After she came back, she paid off the debt directly."

"Holy crap, I really didn't know that."

"So now you know why it's so important to have a girl," the Defense Minister sighed. "That way, even if we have a son later, we'll have the confidence to raise him."

"Then why not just marry one of the princess's maids? Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"

The subordinate couldn't help but say.

"You think they'd even look at you..." The Minister of Defense glared at his subordinate who was lost in thought. "From what I've heard, they didn't even give a second glance to the son of the dragonman Ted, let alone a gatekeeper like you."

"But while the princess is like a sacred place for women in the safe zone, it's not so friendly for men," a bachelor sighed. "All the good-looking and elegant women go to the princess, and it's very difficult for men like us to even find a woman with average looks."

While the guards on the city wall were chatting idly, the originally blue sky was suddenly covered with a layer of thick black clouds, and a huge shadow quietly enveloped the entire safe zone.

"Buzzing..."

The cacophony of insect chirping faintly rose from the distant horizon.

The soldiers who had been chatting suddenly stood up with serious expressions. After reporting the attack of the void creatures, they quickly took the elevator down the city wall and arrived at the area specifically designated for them, the city guards, to take shelter.

Since this wasn't the first time they'd encountered a similar situation, their movements were fluid and skillful.

"Beep beep!"

Suddenly, alarms blared throughout the safe zone.

Upon hearing the alarm, all the survivors looked up alertly and ran towards the nearest shelter.

To ensure the safety of ordinary survivors, the military region set up shelters in each area.

The shelter is constructed with special materials, and because of the involvement of alchemists, it has extremely high defensive capabilities, capable of withstanding attacks from the vast majority of void creatures.

Furthermore, as required by the military, there are also dedicated Star Favorites to protect them. As long as they don't recklessly wander outside, currently, the safety level of civilians is actually the highest when the safe zone is attacked by insects.

However, this is to be expected.

Those favored by the stars enjoy special treatment during times of peace, and then step forward to protect civilians during times of crisis.

Another advantage of building shelters is that Star Chosen Ones have no qualms about interacting with Void creatures and don't have to worry about accidentally harming survivors who might emerge from nowhere.

While all the survivors in the safe zone were making defensive preparations, the princess naturally took action as well.

However, due to the princess's special status, the maids did not need to go to the shelter. Instead, they just needed to stay in the villa and do their jobs normally.

Because they knew perfectly well that under their master's protection, no one could threaten their safety, not even the most dangerous area within the safe zone, the East District.

"Master, please don't get hurt!"

When it was time for Ye Xingluo to put in the effort, he naturally didn't intend to slack off.

As he walked out of his room, every maid he encountered along the way greeted him with admiration and affection, expressing her concern for him.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xingluo was naturally extremely pleased.

Nothing is more delightful than seeing cute girls everywhere.

"Everyone...must keep up the good work."

Ye Xinglu smiled as she looked at the girl who had suddenly collapsed to the ground, her body convulsing, while she was greeting her.

These were mostly new maids, and they were clearly not yet fully familiar with or comfortable with the presence of the fox tails.

Passing through the sea of ​​beautiful girls, Ye Xinglu also stepped outside.

He looked at the dark sky and frowned slightly.

For some reason, he sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from it.

"It feels... kind of familiar..."

Night Star fell and murmured to himself.

...

Chapter 302 Crisis Arises, Evil Moon Returns

This insect infestation was far more massive and prolonged than anyone had imagined.

They were everywhere, an endless expanse, with purplish-red insect shells and blood-red, ferocious mouthparts as far as the eye could see.

Unlike before, Ye Xinglu sensed a cunning in the insects' actions.

"Report! The shelter has been attacked by a large swarm of insects!"

"Report! We have been attacked by a large swarm of insects!"

"Requesting backup! Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

One distress message after another was sent to the military command post, and even the skilled operators couldn't help but feel a little flustered for a while.

This insect attack is very different from previous ones; these void creatures seem to have a very strong purpose!

In the survivors' understanding, the Void creatures have no intelligence and act solely out of a bloodthirsty desire to kill.

Although there are a few exceptions, they are extremely rare.

Therefore, the safe zones built shelters that could isolate human presence based on these characteristics. In this way, the Void creatures, which crave flesh and blood, would immediately target the Star-Cherishers outside, thus ignoring the large number of humans inside the shelters.

For the Star-Cherishers, the towering city walls provide a relatively easy way to keep Void creatures out. Coupled with the impenetrable anti-air defenses of the safe zone, there are generally not many Star-Cherishers stationed in the shelter, as they serve more as a precaution.

Based on previous experience dealing with insect attacks, everything should have gone as the survivors had imagined...

However, now, it seems that a huge change has occurred.

The void creatures that would normally screech and pounce on humans at the sight of them seemed to ignore the Star-Chosen Ones below, swooping past them with unwavering focus and heading straight for the shelters in each area.

"Fire! Fire!"

The military region commander roared as he directed his men to bombard the dark swarm of insects, with shells flying into the sky as if they were free.

Based on past experience, the firepower that should have been able to suppress the attacking swarm with a single salvo was ineffective this time.

Because among the swarms of insects flying in the sky, there were actually insects with strong defensive capabilities. When faced with the bombardment of shells, they spread their thick and huge wings as if they had anticipated it, not only blocking the firepower in front, but also protecting all the weak void creatures around them.

"These guys... they actually know how to team up?"

The defending survivors, seeing a swarm of insects so different from what they had seen before, all changed their expressions.

A beast with intelligence and a beast without intelligence are two completely different concepts!

That means that the advantages that humans had when facing void creatures have now vanished.

"Return to the rescue! Return to the rescue! All Star Favorites, please return to the rescue immediately!"

Suddenly, the anxious voice of the communications officer came through the combat walkie-talkies in the hands of the Star Favorites.

Due to the special changes in the swarm, the Star Favorites, who originally only needed to stand still and wait for their prey, now had to take the initiative to attack.

"Damn it, we've been led by the nose by a bunch of bugs!"

The Star Favorites cursed inwardly as they followed the military region's instructions and rushed to the nearest shelter to provide assistance.

Suddenly, they felt extremely frustrated. A swarm of insects, darkening the sky, flew over their heads, but not a single one attacked them.

Those Star Chosen with ranged combat capabilities could at least slightly hinder the swarm, but those Star Chosen who could only fight at close range could only watch helplessly as the insects flew past.

However, at this critical moment when the Star-Chosen Ones had to return to provide support, the Void creatures, whose leaders were hidden among the swarm, bared their ferocious and sharp fangs as if they had planned it all along.

The earth began to tremble. The giant centipede, which had been nearly killed by Xu tide, bypassed the high city walls and emerged directly from the ground inside the safe zone. The place it was located in was the military district at the very center of the safe zone! It could be said to be the brain of the safe zone in the operation against the void creatures!

In an instant, the sudden appearance of the giant centipede turned the area where the military region was located into a cloud of dust, and the newly rebuilt buildings were reduced to ruins.

However, the appearance of the giant centipede was just the beginning.

Colorful butterflies, fluttering in the air with unusually vibrant colors, shed large swaths of ominous scales with each flap of their wings. Terrifying venomous spiders with human heads roam the streets, along with insects dripping with acrid acid, all appearing simultaneously as if they had conspired together.

Their insect eyes gleamed with a cunning and bloodthirsty light as they blocked the path of the Star Favorites who wanted to return to provide support.

Similar situations occurred in various places within the safe zone.

The silence that had inexplicably appeared on the walkie-talkie sent a chill down everyone's spine.

These insects... this coordinated attack...

It's obvious they're going to wipe out all of them, the living creatures!

...

"This is truly... the worst possible situation..."

Upon arriving at the front lines, Ye Xingluo watched the insects flying overhead and spoke softly.

It's impossible for so many void creatures to possess intelligence; there's only one possibility leading to this situation...

A terrifying entity is silently directing and manipulating them from behind the scenes.

The purpose was to devour all living beings in this underground place.

"Shubi, let's go back first."

Ye Xinglu spoke to the mecha girl beside him.

In such a chaotic situation, his first priority was to ensure the safety of the girls around him.

Although he had made arrangements just in case, it was still more reassuring to go and check on things in person under these circumstances.
