"My apron too!"

“There are bunny rabbit patterns on the kitchen uniforms!”

The girls were chattering and trying on clothes, with long-lost smiles on their faces.

There was a burst of fragrance wafting from the cafeteria. The new girls were lining up, each holding a tray in their hands with their eyes wide open.

"This...is this really the food in the safe zone?" A girl with pigtails looked at the food window in disbelief, her voice trembling.

Steaming white rice, the tempting aroma of braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, corn and pork ribs soup...each one is mouth-watering.

"Yes," the aunt in charge of serving the food said with a smile, "Today's meal is quite simple. On holidays, we have fish and shrimp! Come, I'll give you some more meat."

"Wow..." The girl in the pink dress suddenly covered her face with tears, "I haven't had a hot meal for three months..."

The girls next to them all had red eyes.

"In the original camp, we were only given two pieces of dry bread a day..."

“Sometimes even the bread is moldy…”

“We often went to bed hungry...”

Zhang Chen happened to pass by and when he heard these words, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

A thin girl held a plate and asked cautiously, "Chief, are these...really edible?"

"Of course," Zhang Chen said gently, "No one will be treated unfairly here. As long as you work hard, there will be plenty of food."

"That's great!" the girl sobbed. "When we were fleeing yesterday, we only got a small piece of biscuit..."

Zhang Chen looked at their embarrassed appearance and said softly, "Go and eat while it's hot."

The girls found their seats. Some of them couldn't wait to take a bite and were immediately overwhelmed by the deliciousness, with tears welling up in their eyes. Others ate in small bites, as if they wanted to savor every grain of rice.

“Delicious... Really delicious...”

"The meat is so tender and the soup is hot!"

“Vegetables are all fresh!”

“This is even happier than the five-star restaurant before...”

Yaer came over with a plate and sat down next to Zhang Chen: "They are all crying."

Zhang Chen sighed: "It seems that the situation outside is worse than we thought."

At this time, a girl in a floral dress came over timidly: "Chief, I...I would like to ask, can I take the remaining food away?"

"No need to pack," Zhang Chen smiled, "The three meals a day here are of this standard. And there are also midnight snacks in the dormitory area."

"Ah?" The girl opened her mouth in surprise, "And... there's also a midnight snack?"

The people around him also put down their chopsticks and looked at Zhang Chen in disbelief.

"Yes," Yaer explained gently, "The cafeteria will provide porridge and snacks from 10 to 11 pm. After all, some people have special working hours."

"Oh my God!" Someone couldn't help but shout, "Is this really heaven?"

Zhang Chen looked at their excited expressions and became more determined to run the safe zone well. In this apocalypse, being able to give these suffering girls a hot meal was already a great happiness.

"You will find out later," he said, "there are more wonderful things waiting for you to discover besides delicious food."

.....

a long distance away.

In a dimly lit conference room, leaders of several regions were holding a video conference. Amid the smoke, everyone's expression was gloomy.

“Damn it!” The leader of the North District slammed the table hard. He had a thick beard and was wearing camouflage uniforms. “More than 30 girls have escaped to Zhang Chen’s place!”

"Haha," Boss Qian from the East District held his cigar and smiled sarcastically, "Those silly girls thought Zhang Chen's place was heaven? A bunch of people rushed over there to see how he could support himself."

Boss Qian was dressed in a suit and tie, with a thick gold ring on his hand, looking like a capitalist. In his area, the survivors had to work sixteen hours a day, but could only get the most basic rations.

"My special forces are ready," General Liu from the West District said coldly, "Do you want to teach this kid a lesson?" He is a retired military officer who has always managed the safe zone as a military camp and often physically punished survivors.

"Humph, a bunch of stupid women!" Boss Chen from the South District sneered, "Do you really think Zhang Chen is so kind? I bet that within a month, those women will regret it and come back crying!"

Boss Chen has a face full of flesh and a gold chain around his neck. In his area, pretty girls are forced to become hostesses.

"I heard they have a work point system there," Boss Qian said disdainfully, "Working eight hours a day can earn you supplies? That's a joke! We work twelve hours a day and still can't make ends meet!"

"That's right," General Liu sneered, "Those untouchables should be strictly controlled. If Zhang Chen spoils them like this, something bad will happen sooner or later!"

"I want to see," the leader of the North District gritted his teeth, "How can he feed so many people? We can also block his supply of materials!"

"Yes! Cut off his supply line!" Boss Chen said excitedly, "Let those women know what a stupid decision it is to leave us!"

"If you ask me," Boss Qian slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "it's better to just send someone to get them back. Those pretty girls are our cash cows!"

"Zhang Chen is just a young boy," General Liu said contemptuously, "Does he really think he can fight against us old veterans?"

"Everyone, please be patient," a cold voice suddenly sounded. It was Dr. Wang from the Central District. He pushed his glasses and smiled strangely, "I have a better idea..."

The other leaders immediately quieted down. They all knew that this crazy scientist who conducted human experiments never had good intentions.

"Since Zhang Chen likes to take people in so much," Dr. Wang's eyes flashed with a cold light, "why not give him a 'special gift'..."

A sinister laugh rang out in the conference room.

There was greed and malice in the eyes of these leaders, as if they had seen Zhang Chen's safe zone fall into chaos...

At this time, Zhang Chen was inspecting the newly built dormitory.

In the basement of the security zone, there is a secret monitoring room.

There are people on duty here 24 hours a day, responsible for monitoring the movements of each security zone.

This is a big chess game carefully laid out by Zhang Chen.

In establishing trade relations with the various camps, he sent more than just transport teams.

Those seemingly ordinary fruit and vegetable boxes contain the most advanced eavesdropping equipment.

"What a naive bunch they are," Zhang Chen sneered, recalling the scene when he installed the bug.

At that time, he specially selected a batch of exquisite shellfish products as a gift and personally delivered them to the offices of the leaders of each camp.

Chapter 675: We have so many people with special abilities here!

These "decorations" are placed in prominent positions, but no one knows that there are nano-level monitoring devices hidden inside.

"Chief!" Yaer came running over in a hurry, "There seems to be movement in each district..."

Zhang Chen's eyes were stern: "You came just in time."

These days, he has been arranging various matters in the safe zone and has not been active for a long time.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and he could feel that the calm before the storm was about to be broken.

He went to the monitoring room and put on headphones.

Each channel alternately broadcasts conversations from different camps.

Zhang Chen walked on the streets of the safe zone, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his shoulders. A few girls who had just settled down were growing vegetables in the garden, and when they saw him, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Hello, chief!"

"Today's seedlings have sprouted!"

"Look, this is the cabbage we planted!"

Just as Zhang Chen was about to respond, his personal guard Xiao Li came running over: "Chief, this is bad! The special forces from the North District are gathering at the border!"

Zhang Chen frowned: "How many people are there?"

"At least fifty people, fully armed!"

As he was speaking, the communicator rang, and it was Yaer's urgent voice: "Zhang Chen, the East District has cut off our supply line! The West District has also detained our transport team!"

Zhang Chen sneered: "Sure enough, I can't hold it back anymore."

At this time, the Central District sent a communication request. Dr. Wang's cold smile appeared on the screen: "Chief Zhang, I heard that you are short of supplies? Why don't we discuss a condition..."

"No need to talk." Zhang Chen cut off the communication directly.

"Chief," Xiao Li said worriedly, "They are obviously trying to force us to surrender. Do you want to... send those girls back?"

"Send them back?" Zhang Chen's eyes flashed with anger. "Send them back and let them continue to be exploited? Continue to eat moldy bread? Let the pretty girls serve wine?"

"But..."

"No buts!" Zhang Chen said firmly, "I promised them that this would be their home. I'll keep my word!"

He turned and walked quickly towards the command room, making several calls along the way: "Old Huang, activate the backup warehouse!" "Afu, emergency plan three, execute!" "Cheetah, take your people and keep an eye on all the supply lines!"

In the command room, the big screen displays the dynamics of each area.

"Chief," Yaer handed over a document, "This is our emergency plan. The underground farm can guarantee a three-month supply of vegetables, and the energy reserves are enough to support half a year..."

Zhang Chen nodded: "Ask the logistics team to speed up the construction of the new greenhouse. Tell everyone not to worry."

At this time, Boss Chen from the South District threatened: "Boy, if you know what's best for you, send those girls back! Otherwise..."

"What else?" Zhang Chen said coldly, "Do you think I don't know your tricks? Exploiting the survivors and lining your own pockets?"

"You!" Boss Chen was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, "Don't think I don't dare..."

“Come on,” Zhang Chen raised his lips, “Let your people come and try, and see whether your mob is stronger or my special forces are stronger!”

After the communication was cut off, Zhang Chen turned to everyone and said, "From now on, the safe zone will be on alert. Tell everyone to do what they need to do and don't be afraid!"

As night fell, the safe zone was brightly lit. The new girls helped prepare dinner in the cafeteria, laughing and chatting.

"I heard there's going to be a war outside?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid," Annie said, holding Little Pudding in her arms. "I believe in the leader!"

"Yes," Xiaoying said as she picked vegetables, "This is our home, no one can drive us away!"

Zhang Chen stood on a high place, looking at the busy crowd below. The sound of gunfire could be heard faintly in the distance, but he was not panicked at all.

"Let the storm come harder!" he whispered.

In the end times, it is not easy to protect a piece of pure land. But as long as he sees the smiling faces of those who are saved, he is willing to bear any pressure!

Yaer walked up to him and gently held his hand: "We are all here."

Zhang Chen smiled. Yes, he was not fighting alone...

The lights in the girls' dormitory were on, and a dozen girls gathered together, discussing anxiously.

"No! We can't just stand there and watch!" Xiaoying clenched her fists, "It's because of us that the leader is threatened."

"Yes!" Annie said excitedly, "I can drive and help transport the supplies!"

"I learned shooting before..." A girl with a ponytail raised her hand timidly.

As he was speaking, Yaer pushed the door open and said, "Stop messing around!"

"Sister Yaer..." The girls looked at her aggrievedly.

"Do you know how dangerous it is out there?" Ya'er said seriously, "Those special forces are professionally trained. One can beat ten!"

"But..."

"No buts!" Yaer interrupted them, "If you go out now, not only will you be of no help, but you will distract the leader. In addition to dealing with the enemy, he will also have to protect you!"

The girls bowed their heads with tears in their eyes.

"Be obedient," Ya'er's tone softened, "The leader knows what's going on. Besides..."

Before she finished her words, a roar was heard from afar. The girls ran to the window and saw a busy scene on the mecha training ground.

"Haha! It's finally our turn to show off our skills!" Yinghu, who was wearing a silver-white mecha, said excitedly. He is an A-level psychic, and his daily routine is to either clean up zombies or just be in a daze.

"Everyone, pay attention!" Thor checked his Thunder Mech, "This time we're using real guns and live ammunition!"

"Tsk, it's weaker than those mutant beasts!" Huo Feng said disdainfully while adjusting the mecha. Her flame mecha glowed red in the moonlight.

The special forces were all rubbing their hands in anticipation. They were usually quite free except for dealing with zombies and monsters. Now that they finally had a fight, they were all extremely excited.

"Captain, the mecha squad is in place!" Bingshuang saluted Zhang Chen. Her blue mecha seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Zhang Chen nodded: "Remember, it's just a deterrent, don't hurt innocent people."
