Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

"It's the apocalypse, might makes right. If the higher-ups aren't doing anything, just replace them."

"One of Zhou Kexin's teammates muttered."

Seeing Shi Jinwei looking over, Zhou Kexin introduced her: "This is my teammate Lu Fei, and the rest are Liu Yuanyuan, Chen Kun, and Zhang Zhiming."

The group nodded politely to her and smiled.

She nodded in agreement, and listened as the old man continued, "We may have fists, but a high-ranking leader doesn't become a base leader by force."

The six people looked at each other, wondering what they could rely on if not their own strength?

Zhang Zhiming, the brains of the five-man team, pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard that when these bases were first established, some of the leaders were good fighters, while others had a lot of supplies and had won over many people. The top leader must belong to the latter, right?"

The old man shook his head.

Many of the current superpowered individuals are not locals of Anping; they fled here later.

We don't know the circumstances surrounding the initial establishment of the Anping base.

Only a small number of locals who have stayed here all along know about it, such as this old man.

Everyone quieted down to listen to the old man's story.

When the Anping base was first established, the leaders were not the current top leaders.

The old man said that the man built his base with his fists.

Later, the senior leader fled here and settled down, where he met his former leader by chance.

The big boss is good at nothing but scheming.

With his intelligence, he actually made a name for himself in the management at the time.

However, the base had only been established for a short time then, and the managers also had to go out on missions.

The previous leader died in a mission, and the management fell into chaos.

Several factions wanted to take the top position.

The victor is the current top leader.

When he first came to power, he did take some steps to gain the support of the residents.

Everyone enjoyed a good period back then.

Many refugees came here because of its reputation.

As the base's population grew and its reputation improved, it gradually gained some fame.

When there are many sycophants around, the big leader gradually changes.

He later married a young woman, and he was quite shrewd.

The brother-in-law, through his sister's connections, gained favor with the top leader and took over many responsibilities.

This includes base defense and escort duties.

That's why they're in the situation they see now—leaders are inactive, and those below them are struggling to make ends meet.

The fact that top leaders are fearless is not because their positions are secure.

Rather, he had close relationships with many high-ranking officials in Safe City.

Interpersonal relationships are important at all times.

Even though there are many things about top leaders that people find unsatisfactory.

Unfortunately, he had connections with some of the management at the other Safe City bases.

Many official motorcades only come because of his influence.

Otherwise, many large convoys wouldn't even consider such a small place.

Of course, this doesn't mean that others who take over can't start over.

However, the base has been established for several years and has entered the development stage.

The establishment phase is no longer one where everything can be solved with force.

Even if someone without connections rises to a position and is accepted by the base, it will still take time for them to establish social connections with other places.

It can take anywhere from one month to several months.

In a post-apocalyptic world filled with daily crises, no one wants to waste their time.

The old man spoke with absolute certainty.

Shi Jinwei and the others glanced at the expressions of the NPCs around them.

Knowing that they all agreed with this view, they didn't offer any further opinions.

If the maggots attached to the bone are not removed in time, the condition will only get worse.

These people aren't unaware; they're just pretending not to know.

With a wave of her hand, she stored the six tentacles she had severed into her spatial dimension.

There are still thirteen days left in the game. If another team comes, we can make another fortune.

You'll have to figure out the allocation of these people and the guards yourselves.

It wasn't a good time to chat, so I exchanged contact numbers with Zhou Kexin and left the group.

Zhou Kexin and the others looked at the mutated plants they had killed, and then at Shi Jinwei who had left.

They exchanged a glance and then left the crowd.

They have enough contribution points, and they can't take the rest with them.

To avoid any further complications, it's best to leave as soon as possible.

After leaving the crowd, Shi Jinwei's first action was to return to the hotel and check out.

After learning about the attack outside, the receptionist hid behind the counter, trembling with fear.

I heard the matter was resolved, and he didn't leave his post without permission.

They were unaware of Shi Jinwei's "heroic deeds".

Seeing that the young girl had returned and wanted to check out, they quickly processed her check-out.

When the guards came looking for her in the afternoon, they heard about her deeds and were completely dumbfounded.

Shi Jinwei had anticipated this development, which is why she cancelled her room reservation.

She knew from the last time the three of them came looking for her that these people were practically omniscient in the base.

It would be easy for the guards to find her.

That's why I quickly checked out of the hotel and moved to another place.

If I continue to stay in hotels, I will have to register, which poses a significant risk of my identity being exposed.

Therefore, she has to rent a house alone.

Furthermore, one cannot rent government-owned housing in administrative districts; private housing is preferred.

This type of device doesn't require registration, so it won't leave a trace that can be detected by the system through the wristband.

The trading of personal contribution points will not be detected by the base network.

She doesn't need to worry about that, and she won't be afraid of being exposed when renting a house later.

I haven't finished the tasks I received today, and it's almost noon, so I need to go and complete them first.

Just find an agency at the night market to rent a place after dark.

Shi Jinwei changed into a different colored protective suit and mask, and made the outside of her clothes very dirty.

He even wiped the mask a few times so that the person behind it wouldn't be immediately recognizable.

They then headed back out of the base.

The door is open, but the matter is not over yet.

The brother-in-law returned to the administrative district and exaggerated the story to the higher-ups.

The top leader was naturally furious and ordered him to bring more people to resolve the matter.

When she passed by the group, the two sides were still in a standoff.

The superhumans refused to back down this time, and stood their ground against the guards.

Only a few people leave the city to do missions.

Shi Jinwei saw Zhou Kexin and her group while driving.

Most of those who have come out now are players.

The mission went relatively smoothly, except that we left the city late and it was already dark when we returned.

It's more dangerous outside the base at night.

On the way back, we encountered many nocturnal mutated beasts.

She's exhausted all her strength for today and doesn't dare to fight back.

They narrowly escaped the group and returned to base.

The first thing to do is to turn in the quest by opening the bracelet.

The bodies at the base have been cleaned up.

The outer half of the vines was also cut to be level with the pit.

She took a closer look and noticed that the plants inside were entirely black.

It's impossible to tell whether it's withered or dead.

The guards and the superhumans, for some reason, are now cooperating.

Hurry up and repair the protective wall.

Seeing a car drive back from outside, I deliberately took a few more glances at it.

Shi Jinwei didn't pay any attention.

The black market was open as usual, and she immediately went to find the brokers inside.

When the other party learned that she wanted to rent a house, they asked her in detail what her requirements were.

"A quiet, private room with few people," she said.
