The male supporting character was actually myself.

Along the way, the food and water we searched for were just enough to eat and drink. Where would we find so many supplies to hand over?

"You can choose to surrender your vehicles, or you'll have to rent a house in Zones 2 or 3 if you keep them," the receptionist in the mission hall patiently explained. "If you have any skills or techniques, you can also check out the job postings and earn corresponding contribution points by participating in the work."

Some special positions are even provided with housing at the base.

However, after the technical team of five went to check, they found that there were no chef or clothing tailoring positions available. Doctors could apply to hospitals, but lab technicians were only being recruited by the research lab, and the problem was that they needed to pass an audit, which would take about one to two days.

Before that, they need a specific address.

"Do you have a house that can accommodate seven people?" Jiang Chen asked at the front desk after walking around the mission hall for a while.

The receptionist looked up and was clearly taken aback.

These two people are so clean!

She works as a receptionist at the base and has a certain water quota to maintain her image, but even so, she is not as clean as these two handsome men and beautiful women in black combat uniforms.

They seem to have traveled from before the apocalypse.

His entire body was spotless, a stark contrast to the ragged clothes and dirty faces of the people coming and going in the hall.

"Ah, yes, yes!" The receptionist paused for a moment, then quickly typed a few words on the keyboard and introduced, "Then you need to rent a detached villa in Zone 2, with three parking spaces, which can accommodate ten people."

The monthly rent requires 20,000 contribution points.

Jiang Chen conjured up a large box of guns and ammunition out of thin air and placed it on the reception counter. "Let's see how many contribution points these can be exchanged for."

A space-type ability user?

The experienced receptionist immediately realized what was happening and then hurriedly called her colleagues to verify the cards and distribute the contribution points.

After exchanging weapons for 30,000 contribution points and renting a detached villa in District 2, Jiang Chen also posted a missing person quest.

The two loyal men who were "unintentionally" rescued by the protagonist are now living in this base, and their lives are not very good.

Chapter Eight: Taking the protagonist's path left him with nowhere to go.

On the list of "future warriors" of the protagonist Chu Han, there is a man named Gong Feibai, a silent and melancholy young man.

Before the apocalypse, he ran away from home after arguing with his father. But then the apocalypse suddenly occurred, and he missed his family but was unable to leave. He became depressed and full of negative energy every day.

The protagonist, who has been reborn, has heard about the legendary story of this "future warrior" and spoils the story for his family in advance, thus gaining their trust.

Fei Bai, who awakens his supernatural abilities, has to make a painful choice between family and comrades-in-arms, staging a touching drama of brotherhood.

The other one was named Liang Yong, a timid, cowardly, and gluttonous fat boy.

He was despised and looked down upon by everyone around him, but the protagonist protected and encouraged him. After awakening his superpowers, he grew into a fierce general who was loyal to Chu Han and never disobeyed his orders. In the end, he died in battle at the Beijing base to help Chu Han reach the top.

"Mr. Jiang, the missing person reward you wanted to post has been displayed in the mission hall. Do you have any other services you need to process?" the receptionist asked politely.

Before the apocalypse, just the weapons he brought out would have been enough to get him shot many times over.

But the world has really changed now. The base has safe and stable water resources, and there are more food sources in nearby cities.

The only thing that can't be produced is guns and ammunition, which will only become less and less available. Therefore, the most valuable thing on the base is weaponry.

People who possess large quantities of firearms and ammunition suddenly become very popular.

“I have two colleagues who are laboratory technicians and they want to apply for jobs at the research institute.” Jiang Chen pointed behind him. “Please register them and let us know if they pass the review.”

Following Jiang Chen out of the mission hall, the five-person technical team drove their own car towards Zone Two.

It wasn't until they stood in front of the luxurious and grand villa that they came to their senses.

"Thank you so much, Xiao Jiang!" Doctor Zhao Meihua said gratefully. "We arrived at the base safely thanks to your protection all the way, and now you've gone to so much trouble to rent a house for us. I don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Yes, you and Xiao Tang are the youngest among us, but you have contributed the most. How can we possibly thank you?"

"I never dreamed that I would one day be able to live in such a big villa!"

"In the post-apocalyptic safe zones, every inch of land is precious. We live in villas like this only because of Xiao Jiang!"

……

Tang Xueli had only ever seen such a beautiful house on television, with small gardens in the front and back. It was the height of summer, and the colorful flowers, green lawns, clean streets, and bright, sparkling rooms made one momentarily forget that this was the apocalypse.

"Do you like it?" Hearing Jiang Chen's voice, she quickly turned her head, only to bump into something hard.

Before Tang Xueli could react, he pushed her forward, and her face immediately turned slightly red.

A sweet, strawberry-flavored aroma filled her mouth, and Tang Xueli felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She nodded, her ears red, while sucking on a lollipop.

“Everyone’s tired. Let’s get some fresh air and rest in our rooms.” Jiang Chen opened the door and handed Tang Xueli and Zhao Meihua each a key. “Our original plan remains unchanged. We’ll leave at noon in five days.”

If you want to stay, you'd better hurry up and find a job.

This house should be enough for a month, enough for everyone to settle in.

"We'll think about it seriously these next couple of days. If we don't stay, we'll still come with you." Clearly, Du Rui and her husband had discussed it, and they weren't sure whether to stay or leave, so they left some room for maneuver.

Jiang Chen naturally occupied the master bedroom on the second floor, which included a walk-in closet, a study, and a large bathroom with a bathtub;

Tang Xueli was in a small, pink-decorated suite next to his;

Du Rui and her husband live with their baby in a suite on the first floor that was originally a room for the elderly.

Zhao Meihua slept on the sofa in the study; the remaining two lab technicians shared the guest room.

After washing up and taking a short rest, Jiang Chen left Tang Xueli to watch the house while he leisurely went out.

"Host, what are we going to do now?" Little White asked curiously, perched on his shoulder.

As he drove, he observed the surrounding environment and replied in a low voice, "The plot doesn't explain why this base was destroyed."

As can be seen from the different areas, Area 1 was the original military camp, while Areas 2 through 6 were territories that were expanded later.

In other words, after the disaster broke out, the troops that were originally stationed there quickly launched a counterattack, advancing to the existing high wall area in less than ten days and planning to build residential areas to receive a large number of survivors.

Logically speaking, with strict military management, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Looking back, there are at least 100,000 survivors sheltered here; in addition, there are specialized research laboratories, so the destruction is a great loss from any perspective.

I want to see if the destruction that follows the protagonist's arrival can be avoided.

Xiao Bai tilted his head and scratched his ear with his foot, not understanding. "Does the host want to be the savior this time?"

"In the apocalyptic scenario, the protagonist is a jinx, bringing destruction wherever he goes."

The plot focuses on letting him roam around with his halo and have a great time, trying every means to find the 'future warrior', while ordinary people are ignored as background characters.

In the end, only the protagonist, Chu Han, made a fortune, taking advantage of others' wealth and even recruiting followers.

But those who died were all living people. Although they were ordinary, it was because of them that this world was full of life and warmth.

Humans are social animals. I could certainly find a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains and live a carefree life, but a world without the warmth of human interaction is ultimately just not quite right.

Since you have the ability, why not try to change something?

The fluffy dumpling frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly its eyes lit up, "I understand what you mean, host!"

If more people and the base can be saved from destruction, so many survivors can create new ways of life in this harsh environment. Perhaps they can even find a way to control the zombies. Once things stabilize, radio, television, various forms of entertainment, and even the internet can be restored!

Alone Better Together!

Even if someone is very capable and powerful, and can live a life of plenty with their family, friends, and cats in one place, if their culture cannot be passed down and their technology cannot advance, they can only be considered to have lived a life of mere survival.

They also had to be constantly on guard against zombies, living in constant fear.

"Where there's strength in numbers, there's strength in dealing with zombies, and a happier life is more peaceful, right?"

“Yes, so I need to check if there are any weak points in the base.” Jiang Chen slowly drove all the way to District Six, and only returned to the mission hall when it got dark.

"Mr. Jiang, you have received a reply to your missing person notice."

The receptionist, who hadn't yet left work, greeted him with delight, saying, "I just called the villa where you're staying. Ms. Tang answered and said you had gone out on business and hadn't returned yet. We were thinking of having someone take them there. Could you tell if these are the two people?"

Two dirty-looking people, one tall and thin, the other short and fat, sat in the waiting area.

Seeing that he was a complete stranger, they all looked at him with suspicion.

"Gong Feibai?" He first looked at the gloomy-faced young man, who was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, handsome with long hair that covered half of his eyes. "Your father's name is Gong Chang'an, what's your mother's name?"

The other person's eyes lit up immediately!

Chapter Nine (abbreviated as) - Face-to-Face Meeting?

"My mother's name is Helan. How do you know them?" Gong Feibai immediately understood what the other party meant. He first said his father's name to convince him, and then asked him to say his mother's name to check if he was an imposter.

Jiang Chen gestured for everyone to calm down and explained using the script's protagonist's lines: "Your parents are at the T26 security base in the south; they are looking for you."

"Really?" Gong Feibai trembled with excitement.

He truly regretted arguing with his father. He had only wanted to go out and have some fun for a while before returning home, but who knew he would encounter the apocalypse.

Being in an unfamiliar place, I barely survived after escaping death more than ten times in just a few days.

He was brought to this base the day before yesterday, and he still can't sleep well at night. He always dreams of arguing with his father, and sometimes he even dreams that his family members have turned into zombies.

Upon hearing the definite news, Gong Feibai covered his face and wept silently.

"Thank you for bringing the news." He calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and thanked him. "I don't have any supplies right now, but I'll go out and search diligently tomorrow to repay your kindness as soon as possible!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand, "Your parents released the message through the survivors. Even if they want the reward, they'll ask them for it after they bring you to T26."

Now just follow me, and we'll settle everything when we get to T26.

I will provide you with basic food and water along the way; if you want more, you'll have to find your own way.

Gong Feibai was excited and happy, and quickly nodded in agreement.

The chubby Liang Yong looked forlorn, tears welling in his eyes, and whispered, "How lucky you are. Even in the apocalypse, your parents still hired bodyguards to escort you there."

I was left at my maternal grandparents' house when I was little, and I hardly remember what my parents look like.

"Host, he was traumatized by watching his grandmother turn into a zombie. The protagonist kept encouraging him, which is why the little fat boy's superpower talent was brought out." The little white cat flipped through the script and whispered a reminder in his ear.

Jiang Chen glanced at him and smiled, "I heard you studied to be a childcare worker?"

"Yes!" The chubby boy got a little excited. "Although I haven't graduated yet, my grades are very good, and I'm already preparing for my internship."

Before the apocalypse, he was just like many ordinary people.

She likes to stay at home playing games, watching anime, eating snacks and drinking cola. Although she only has a bedridden grandmother by her side, she never lacks money from her parents.
