I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

"That Zhang Chen not only monopolized the seafood trade, but also stole our most valuable talent!" Dr. Wang slammed the table hard, his old face twisted with anger.

As the chief scientist of Beishan Camp, Dr. Wang was so angry that he couldn't sleep recently. His two most proud assistants defected at the same time a month ago and reportedly went to New Bay.

"That's right," Captain Li of the Donglin Camp was also indignant. "The agents we trained with great difficulty were all poached by him with high salaries. Those girls have all rebelled!"

Chief Chen of the Qinghe Camp had a gloomy expression on his face: "The most hateful thing is that they took away all our confidential information."

The conference room was filled with a solemn atmosphere. The leaders of each safety zone looked grim, all upset about their losses.

"I've recently observed a phenomenon," the intelligence officer of the Western Camp suddenly said, "the girls who went to New Bay seem to be particularly...close to Zhang Chen."

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into dead silence.

"You mean..." Dr. Wang narrowed his eyes, "He used that method?"

"It's very likely," the intelligence officer sneered, "otherwise how do you explain that so many elite female agents are willing to submit to him?"

Captain Li clenched his fists: "This beast! How dare he use such a despicable method!"

"No," Chief Chen stood up, "We can't go on like this. If we continue like this, all the outstanding women will be taken by him!"

"But..." someone said worriedly, "The defenses of New Bay are very strong, and they are all well-trained agents..."

"Hehe," Dr. Wang showed a sinister smile, "I have a suggestion."

He took out a confidential document from his briefcase: "This is my latest biochemical weapon, which can make people lose their combat effectiveness without knowing it..."

"Perfect!" Captain Li's eyes lit up, "Once they lose their combat effectiveness, we can..."

"Wait," Chief Chen interrupted him, "don't forget about those girls. In case they notice something..."

"Don't worry," Dr. Wang said sinisterly, "I have my own arrangements. Let them be obedient first, and then I will "influence" them after I have dealt with Zhang Chen..."

A chilling laugh rang out in the conference room.

However, what they didn't know was that all of this was transmitted back to New Bay in real time through hidden eavesdroppers...

"What a bunch of rubbish," Zhang Chen listened to these conspiracies with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Since you want to play, I'll play with you to the end."

He turned and looked at Qiu Ya and others behind him: "Are you ready?"

"What's worse is that," said Mr. Qian from the East District, looking pale, "our secret laboratory was destroyed, and all those shameful research data were made public..."

"Leaders," one of his men ran in in a panic, "This is bad! Zhang Chen's power has expanded to our territory! His flags have been raised in the slums!"

"What?!" Several leaders stood up at the same time.

The scene turns to the safe zone, where Zhang Chen is meeting newly arrived refugees. One of the thin girls timidly says, "Chief, I... I can program, and I worked as a technician for Dr. Wang..."

"Great!" Yaer's eyes lit up, "We are in need of network security talents!"

Chapter 678 This is the life people should have

A scarred man said honestly: "I was a soldier in the North District and I can drive a heavy mecha..."

"The mecha unit is short of people, go and report!" Zhang Chen patted his shoulder.

"Chief!" Xiao Kai ran over excitedly, "Guess what I found? Those defected agents brought confidential documents from various districts!"

Zhang Chen flipped through the documents, his eyes gradually becoming colder and colder: "Sure enough, they are secretly researching biochemical weapons!"

"Not only that," Anne handed over a report, "we also found evidence that they were exploiting workers, forcing them to work and withholding their wages..."

"Announce it immediately!" Zhang Chen ordered, "Let everyone know what kind of people they are!"

Once the news spread, the unrest in various districts became more intense. A large number of workers went on strike, the army mutinied, and businessmen withdrew their capital...

"The leader is so wise!" Xiao Li exclaimed, "Winning without fighting, directly destroying the foundation of their rule!"

At this time, a group of girls in uniform walked by. They were all agents who had escaped from various districts and now became the most loyal defenders of the safe zone.

"Sisters," the captain (formerly the West Zone agent) called out, "it's our turn to patrol tonight!"

"Yes!" The neat response was filled with pride.

Zhang Chen looked at all this and smiled with relief. Those agents who were forced into a desperate situation at the beginning have now found their true home.

In the distance, an alarm suddenly sounded!

"Report!" The communicator's voice came hurriedly, "Dr. Wang wants to negotiate! He said...he wants to surrender!"

"Ha!" Ya'er sneered, "You finally can't hold on any longer?"

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Let him come."

Soon, the once arrogant Dr. Wang appeared in the conference room in a panic. He looked flustered and his glasses were crooked: "Chief Zhang, I... We are willing to cooperate!"

"Cooperation?" Zhang Chen said coldly, "Are you worthy of it?"

"I know the secrets of all the districts!" Dr. Wang said hurriedly, "including their military deployment, underground research..."

Zhang Chen waved his hand: "No need. Your agents have already told us."

Dr. Wang's face turned pale: "Then...then I still have..."

"Take him away!" Zhang Chen waved his hand, "Hand him over to the special forces. Let them settle the old scores themselves!"

Watching Dr. Wang being taken away, Yaer said, "Chief, the other districts can't hold on any longer."

Zhang Chen stood in front of the window, looking at the explosions in the distance: "Let them disintegrate on their own. Dawn will soon come..."

On a sunny morning, Xiao Kai and a few sisters patrolled the periphery of the safe zone.

"Huh?" Xiao Kai suddenly stopped and said, "Do you smell it? It has a salty taste."

"It seems to be coming from that side," Annie pointed to the east, "Shall we go and take a look?"

The girls explored cautiously, passing through an abandoned industrial area. At the end of the overgrown road, a piece of blue suddenly came into view.

"Oh my God! It's the sea!" the girls exclaimed.

The blue waves were rippling, and seagulls were circling. The busy port before the end of the world was now empty, but the shore was full of shellfish and crabs.

"Look!" Xiao Kai pointed to the rocks, "Those are all wild oysters!"

Annie squatted down to check: "There are crab holes over here!"

"Sisters!" Xiaolin, who grew up by the sea, said excitedly, "These seafood are easiest to catch when the tide is low!"

Several girls quickly divided the work: some collected shellfish, some dug crabs, and some fished in the shallows. Soon, they had a good harvest.

"Chief!" They ran back to the camp excitedly, "Look what we found!"

Zhang Chen looked at the basket full of seafood and his eyes lit up: "Where did this come from?"

The girls talked about how they discovered the beach.

"Good opportunity!" Yaer realized immediately, "We can open up a new source of food!"

Soon, with the support of Zhang Chen, a special "seafood team" was established. They were all agile girls, with Xiaolin as the team leader.

"Remember safety first," Zhang Chen warned, "There may be mutant creatures on the beach."

"Don't worry, Chief!" The girls patted their chests and assured. They were all equipped with self-defense weapons and communication equipment.

Gradually, the food in the safe zone became more and more abundant. The canteen served fresh seafood every day: steamed crabs, grilled oysters, seafood soup...

"We are so happy!" The refugees were so moved that they cried. "In other areas, it is hard to even eat a bite of meat."

"The leader is really far-sighted," the workers exclaimed, "We don't have to worry about protein anymore!"

The girls in the seafood team became popular in the camp. Not only did they improve the food for everyone, they also dried and stored the excess seafood in preparation for the winter.

"You have done a great job," Zhang Chen praised, "This discovery is very important."

Indeed, in the end times, a stable food source is more valuable than money. And the seaside has other benefits:

"Chief," Yaer said excitedly, "We can extract sea salt!"

"There are many abandoned fishing boats along the coast," Xiao Li added, "If they are repaired, we can develop the fishing industry!"

"Seaweed is edible, too," the doctor said, "and it's packed with nutrients!"

Zhang Chen nodded: "Okay! Set up an ocean development team immediately."

Soon, the safety zone set up a workstation on the beach. The girls not only collected seafood, but also learned how to dry sea salt and repair fishing nets. Fishing boats were also gradually being repaired.

"I never expected it," Xiao Kai sighed, "We, the agents, have become fishermen's girls now!"

"It's much more fun than being a secret agent!" Annie said with a smile as she skillfully sorted the crabs.

As the sun sets, smoke rises from the seaside. A few girls set up a simple stove on the rocks and cook seafood porridge.

"Today's harvest is good!" Xiaolin stir-fried fresh shrimps.

"Yeah!" The sisters sat in a circle, talking and laughing.

In the distance, Zhang Chen and Yaer were standing on a high place and looking out.

"That's great," Ya'er said with emotion, "They have all found their own positions."

Zhang Chen smiled: "This is the life that people should have."

The salty taste of the ocean breeze makes this stretch of coast a symbol of hope in a world devastated by the sea.

And those girls who were once confused also found new meanings in life here...

Life gradually became stable, and the workstation on the beach became larger and larger. The girls not only mastered fishing skills, but also discovered more surprises.

That morning, Xiaolin led the team out to sea and discovered an oyster reef: "Sisters! We are going to make a fortune now!"

“Wow!” Anne exclaimed. “These wild oysters are so huge!”

While they were busy collecting, Xiao Kai suddenly shouted, "Look over there!"

A few dilapidated fishing rafts were exposed on the shallows not far away.

"This is for breeding!" Xiaolin's eyes lit up, "If it is repaired, we can raise seafood ourselves!"

When the news reached the safe zone, Zhang Chen immediately sent technicians. Soon, the first batch of fish rafts were repaired and attempts to cultivate shellfish and seaweed began.

Chapter 679 Don't Be Afraid...

"The chief is so far-sighted!" the former mechanic exclaimed, "These fishing rafts can even generate electricity after being modified!"

Indeed, Zhang Chen installed solar panels and wave power generation devices on the fishing raft, combining marine aquaculture with clean energy to kill two birds with one stone.

"Sisters," Xiaolin suggested, "Should we give the workstation a nice name?"

"How about Blue Hope?" said Anne.

"Too artistic!" Xiao Kai laughed, "Why not call it 'Sea King Base'!"

In the end, it was Zhang Chen who came up with the name: "Let's call it 'New Bay'. We should remember the past and look forward to the future."

The New Bay quickly became the most popular place in the Security Zone.

Not only because of the fresh seafood served here, but also because it is full of life.

A simple shed was set up on the beach, where the girls sorted seafood and mended fishing nets.

The hand that used to hold the gun is now peeling shrimp shells flexibly, and the once cold eyes have become gentle.

“I never thought we could live this kind of life,” Annie sighed as she dried kelp.

"Yeah," Xiao Kai looked at the children playing in the distance, "When I was an agent, how could I dare to think about these things?"

Gradually, the new bay became more than just a workstation. A rest area was built here, where the girls could sit on the beach and chat after get off work. Someone played the guitar and sang a long-lost ballad.

"The moon is so beautiful today," Yaer said standing on the pier.

Zhang Chen nodded: "Compared to power and conspiracy, this is what the world should be like."

Suddenly, cheers came from afar!

"Whale! It's a whale!" Several girls who were on night watch shouted excitedly.

Sure enough, in the moonlight, several humpback whales could be seen jumping out of the water in the distant sea.

"It's amazing!" The girls were stunned. "We can still see this kind of scene after the end of the world!"

Zhang Chen thought thoughtfully: "Maybe this is a sign. After humans retreat, nature is repairing itself..."

The next day, Xiaolin took a few sisters to check the fishing raft and unexpectedly discovered a large number of fish gathered around it.
