A swift and decisive victory in the early stages, a post-apocalyptic survival story in America!

Li Qi stretched out her slender hand, painted with bright red nail polish, and looked at the security guard standing next to the driver's seat with a resentful expression.

"I'm going to 103 North June Street, to William Thomson's house. That bastard insists I water his plants!"

Li Qi felt disgusted by his overly sweet and coquettish voice.

But the security guard seemed fine, without any unusual expression. Obviously, working as a security guard in such a large, wealthy area, he must be very experienced and used to such things.

After all, this country has 97 publicly identified genders, and the wealthy only go further in their pursuit of extravagance.

"Oh, you're Mr. Thomson's friend, hello ma'am." The security guard clearly recognized the homeowner named "William Thomson" and immediately smiled gently, "I'll contact Mr. Thomson right away to confirm this."

Li Qi's heart was in his throat. His stiff right foot lifted slightly, ready to step on the gas and rush in if things went wrong!

At that point, it's just a matter of being expelled or arrested by the police. As long as the mission is completed and the capsule is obtained, these are all acceptable costs.

As for kidnapping and murder...

We'll talk about it later!

Survival is the most important thing!

Having prepared to call, Li Qi remained calm, then impatiently waved his hand, saying as if nothing had changed, "Just call him! I'd rather he deny it, so I don't have to come watering his plants every day! It's so annoying!"

Upon hearing Li Qi's words, the security guard suddenly froze and looked up at his companion opposite him.

His companion shook his head slightly, clearly hesitant as well.

Seeing this, Li Qi was overjoyed. She immediately intensified her efforts, playfully complaining, "Oh my god! Don't waste my precious time! Hurry up and call that jerk! I have an appointment with clients to take their pets to the vet! My time is very valuable, okay?"

The security guard bowed respectfully and asked with a smile, "Madam, we can just register your name and occupation. There's no need to call Mr. Thomson. He's very busy, so we won't bother him. Is that alright?"

Li Qi let out a long sigh of relief, but said firmly, "I'd rather you call him! I don't want to give you my ID, nor do I want to reveal my name or profession! You should call him!"

The security guard was in a dilemma. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Madam, how about... how about you do me a favor and just provide your name and occupation? You don't need to show your ID."

"Alright, alright! You've been working so hard every day, exposed to the wind, sun, and rain. Thank you for your efforts! We won't make things difficult for you!"

Li Qi changed his tone, revealing his name and profession: "My name on my ID is Roger Stern, a veterinarian, but don't write 'Roger,' write 'Rose.' I haven't officially changed my name yet, but I like everyone to call me 'Rose'!"

The security guard skillfully concealed a hint of disgust in his eyes, finished registering the information in his logbook, and then nodded slightly: "Alright, ma'am, welcome to our community. You may enter now."

As the railing lifted, Li Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave a nonchalant salute, and drove into the gate.

This community is very large, with wide and flat roads, and each building on both sides of the road has a unique style.

On the main road, several teenagers, smoking cigarettes and dressed in a sleazy manner, looked at Li Qi with laughter and jokes. Some gave him the middle finger, while others whistled.

Judging by their behavior alone, they are no different from homeless people, but in fact, these are rebellious children from a wealthy neighborhood; they are the darlings of this society.

This community is the pinnacle of society, the "image of paradise".

Li Qi sighed and drove along the main road, soon finding the address.

It was a Tudor-style brick and stone building with a high roof, towering chimney, red brick walls, a neat lawn, lush green plants, and a national flag hanging at the entrance, all of which spoke of the owner's status and position.

Li Qi didn't know who this William Thomson was, but it was clear that he was a solitary man and a difficult one to deal with.

Otherwise, the security guard wouldn't have acted that way.

It seems there's a reason why the system insisted on choosing this place as the target for the shelter.

Li Qi drove the car into the courtyard and parked it at the entrance of the right-hand driveway. She calmly got out of the car, wearing seven-centimeter high heels, and walked with unsteady but graceful steps to the main entrance.

The door was locked, and there might be an alarm inside...

Having memories of being a policeman, Li Qi knew perfectly well what he was facing.

The task hasn't been marked as complete yet. It seems that just getting to the door isn't enough; I need to go inside first.

Li Qi was no stranger to lock-picking techniques; as a police officer, the original owner of this body had put in a lot of hard work in this area.

But this lock is far too sturdy.

Li Qi was confident he could open it if given enough time, but with pedestrians and vehicles occasionally passing by on the street, and security guards patrolling from time to time, standing here for such a long time would arouse suspicion.

Li Qi returned to the car and waited for an opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he climbed over the wall and went to the backyard.

The back door was tightly shut, just as sturdy...

No wonder the system selected this house as the target; just looking at these two doors, it's practically impregnable.

Looking through the window, there were even diamond-shaped metal bars inside...

Just how timid must the homeowner be to put so much effort into security measures?

Li Qi was prepared to trigger the burglar alarm as soon as he entered the door. If that happened, he would immediately take the pills and run away.

As for what happens next, we'll leave it to fate and take it one step at a time!

The back door was just as sturdy as the front door, but with no neighbors or patrolling security guards watching from the backyard, Li Qi could easily unlock it.

Opening the first latch wasn't too difficult.

The second one took some effort, but it was alright.

But the third, the fourth...

After working for most of the day, Li Qi was exhausted and covered in sweat. Finally, he touched the deepest lock cylinder and successfully opened the door.

Li Qi was prepared to go in, run a lap to complete the mission, trigger the alarm, and then run away. He carefully opened the back door, ready to sprint...

The alarm didn't go off.

I stepped into the house, but after a few steps, the alarm still didn't go off.

Li Qi finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that William Thomson installed a lot of security features on the house, but it's unclear whether he forgot to turn them on or did it on purpose. The alarm at the front door is clearly working, but it wasn't turned on.

The room was large and decorated in a high-end yet simple style.

There was a faint smell of roasted meat in the house, but the kitchen showed no signs of having been used.

Li Qi brought up the system and calmly walked around the room a few times. Finally, when he reached the single sofa in the living room, a golden light flashed before his eyes!

After breaking through numerous enemy blockades and escaping wave after wave of zombies, you have successfully traversed the ruins of Los Angeles and arrived at this incredibly fortified post-apocalyptic fortress! Here, you will begin a new life, continuing humanity's genes and sowing the seeds of civilization! Congratulations, survivor!

The mission is complete?

Is this the doomsday bunker?

Where is the apocalypse? Where does it look like a bunker?

Li Qi looked around, his eyes filled with confusion.

This house seems to be more complex than it appears...
