The male supporting character was actually myself.

In a brutal world where nuclear bombs fly and the strong prey on the weak, his ideal path to expanding outwards from this center and building a peaceful and safe city to accommodate more people will undoubtedly be fraught with difficulties.

She stole a glance at Jiang Chen, who was tall, steady, and gave off a strong sense of security, and silently decided to find a way to use her resources from another world to help him complete his great revival plan!

A month is only a very short time for the shelter to decide on its initial goals. Fortunately, with the strong supply of meat, vegetables and rice, the first batch of members, including most of the Wild Wolf Gang, have become loyal supporters of the supervisor, Mr. Jiang.

They used to struggle to survive, barely making ends meet. Now they have enough to eat and drink and can rest peacefully. They are still not satisfied with these conditions and have become arrogant and ignorant of their own limitations. Wang Wu is the best example of this!

Do you really think a supervisor who can feed hundreds of people in the entire shelter with fresh ingredients is stupid?

In addition, there are two women, Guan Xiaoyue and Zhang Yan, who are not on good terms and are eager to compete for favor. They both want to perform well to get more rewards and manage the entire shelter from top to bottom.

Jiang Chen then designed a reward and punishment system, and each group worked hard to come up with better ideas to get more rewards.

After daily brainwashing propaganda, everyone knows that the better the shelter develops, the more stable their treatment will be. Therefore, no one is foolishly causing trouble anymore; instead, everyone is working hard to do their assigned work.

The first phase of the expansion plan designed by the engineers is also proceeding in an orderly manner. A huge tunnel has been dug behind the shelter to install a new ventilation and air filtration purification system. According to Jiang Chen's idea, the underground city will be built first in the short term.

In the future, with the help of the little white cat, we can disarm all the nuclear missiles, missile silos, and various manufacturing machines of all the major forces, and destroy what needs to be destroyed. This will force the major forces in the wasteland to lose their physical threat and stop increasing surface radiation. Later, we can consider developing upwards, just like other large-scale cities.

Dinner has just ended, and there's still some time before lights out and bedtime.

The residents were chatting and relaxing in small groups, discussing other shelters with the refugees who had arrived a few days ago. Jiang Chen, accompanied by Cheng Xiamu, who had washed up and changed into clothes he had specially prepared, entered through the main gate and stood on the corridor bridge, clearing his throat with a megaphone. "Everyone, please be quiet. I want to introduce you to my capable assistant—Cheng Xiamu."

She was directly assigned by me and probably won't be staying in the shelter most of the time.

But as long as Xia Mu is here, he can make any decision on my behalf, and everyone must comply. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of the first prohibition, and they will be expelled from the shelter forever!

The entire shelter was silent for a few seconds, and then, without anyone noticing, the others hurriedly responded in agreement.

Guan Xiaoyue and Zhang Yan, who were holding their breath like fighting cocks, looked slightly pale and had mixed feelings as they looked at Cheng Xiamu, who was standing next to them and had a good figure and face.

They all thought they would be the special one, that one day they would stand beside that man and become the mistress of the shelter. But they never expected…

"Where did she come from?" Guan Xiaoyue's voice trembled slightly, feeling her beautiful dream shattered in an instant.

Previously, Zhang Yan had been reprimanded by Brother Chen because of Wang Wu's matter. She thought she had a chance to outdo him and gain more favor with Brother Chen, but now a fair-skinned and beautiful girl suddenly appeared and stood naturally next to him...

Who is she?

Where did it come from?

How did he gain Brother Chen's complete trust?

Could she be the future mistress of the shelter?

"Ha, a little girl who's never even killed a person."

Zhang Yan had worked hard to regain Mr. Jiang's trust after being reprimanded for forming cliques, but her dream was shattered. She bit her lip and said coldly, "Look at that small frame, she looks like she can't do anything, she'll only be a burden. Just wait and see, Mr. Jiang will soon understand—in this wasteland, the person beside him must have extraordinary abilities to help him go further!"

In stark contrast to the two women's indignation, everyone else in the shelter was just watching the drama unfold.

Since there's not much entertainment here, the fact that Mr. Jiang, who is so popular, suddenly broke out in a gossip session drew great enthusiasm from the group of grandmothers who were in charge of cooking and cleaning.

"Miss Cheng is really beautiful, and she looks like a very gentle person."

"Look at her eyes, they are clear and bright, like black and white, and she probably hasn't suffered much hardship or killed anyone, otherwise she couldn't be so pure."

"His physique is good, but he looks too weak, he doesn't even have any muscles. Even to pilot an armored vehicle, you need some strength, right?"

"Huh, you've never seen fully powered armor before?"

"You don't understand, do you? A man like Mr. Jiang doesn't need his woman to fight on the front lines. He'd feel more at ease having a woman with a soft waist and no fierce heart sleeping next to him."

"That's true. Everything is scarce in the wasteland except people. You can get a can of meat from anywhere and trade it for several beautiful young women. If you're not satisfied with one, you can just get another. Anyway, you can't keep too fierce women, otherwise, if they develop ambitions, you won't be able to sleep peacefully at night."

"That makes perfect sense. Why is everyone working so hard these days? They're afraid of being laid off if they just eat and don't work. Human life is cheap. With Mr. Jiang's wealth, how many strong laborers couldn't he buy? If you don't work hard, there are plenty of people who want to replace you. I guess it's the same for women..."

.........

After the introductions, Jiang Chen left with Cheng Xiamu, without even glancing at the other two women.

I made it very clear to them from the beginning that the two sides were just cooperating, and the exchange was fair, with the shelter providing supplies and the shelter contributing labor.

As for matters of the heart, I have never entertained the idea of ​​building a harem, nor do I have any romantic feelings for them. Therefore, I must not give any signals that could be easily misunderstood. Otherwise, it would be unfair to everyone if things remained ambiguous, unclear, and unresolved.

"Chen Luoqi's time-travel device is that powerful?"

Back in his room, Cheng Xiamu listened to Jiang Chen's brief explanation of how he met Chen Luoqi and found it somewhat unbelievable. "To be able to obtain the equipment to travel between the two worlds is incredibly lucky. Logically speaking, he should make full use of his role as a transporter between the two worlds, and everyone should cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."

Why do you always want to kill people and take over the shelter? But your technology here is amazing; it even has mind-reading capabilities.

She blinked her big, bright eyes and asked softly, "What are you planning to do? Cooperation can only last if both sides are honest. Chen Luoqi is always looking for an opportunity to replace you, so you're in danger! What if... I mean, what if he tampers with the goods being transported? We have to be wary of people like that."

“So I have a plan.” Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa leisurely, a faint smile on his face. “I promised Chen Luoqi that I would take him to experience the wasteland world first thing tomorrow morning. I want to take this opportunity to expose his true colors.”

Cheng Xiamu was slightly taken aback. "Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

He shook his head and chuckled, "There will certainly be some danger, but if we don't actively lure him into having a chance, waiting for him to do something malicious in secret will only cause more trouble. I gave you a brief training session today, and I'd like you to come along tomorrow. Are you up for it?"

Instead of answering directly, Cheng Xiamu asked in return, "If you really think about it, Chen Luoqi and I are from the same hometown. Aren't you afraid that I might drag you down or even help him harm you?"

puff!

Unexpectedly, she asked so directly, and Jiang Chen almost burst out laughing. "It won't be a burden, as long as you don't do anything stupid and provoke the monster tide, I can keep you safe; as for you joining forces with Chen Luoqi... how is that possible?"

Would a girl who resolutely self-isolates for half a month out of fear of carrying bacteria or viruses and harming others collude with someone like Chen Luoqi?

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, his voice lowering, "Would you really be willing to betray me?"

Cheng Xiamu's face immediately turned red. She lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers for a while before replying in an almost inaudible voice, "Of...of course not..."

"Then get some rest and get ready for a good show tomorrow!" Jiang Chen ruffled her hair, smiled, and got up to take his sleeping bag to the small room that had been partitioned off to house the medical pod, leaving his own bedroom for Cheng Xiamu to use.

She had a little trouble sleeping on her first night in the wasteland.

The main reason was that too many things had happened and the impact was too great. Cheng Xiamu was a little confused and felt that it was not real, especially the speed at which things were developing between him and Jiang Chen. It was as fast as dry wood meeting a raging fire and colliding together and becoming unstoppable.

But Cheng Xiamu didn't last long. After all, running around in armor and practicing shooting during the day was very tiring. He fell asleep peacefully as soon as he relaxed a little.

On the contrary, Chen Luoqi in the modern world was so excited that he couldn't sleep most of the night. He lay on the comfortable bed in a high-end hotel suite, flipping through various battle scenes in post-apocalyptic novels on his phone.

The more he looked at him, the more excited he became, fantasizing about becoming famous overnight and shocking the entire wasteland world. Ideally, he would have another chance to reveal the secret of supplying the shelter with his own supplies!

Just thinking about the classic scene—"I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm actually the savior who can get fresh supplies..."—made Chen Luoqi excitedly curl up in the blanket and chuckle.

The best course of action would be to expose Jiang Chen's hypocrisy in public, and then find some more sensible forces to cooperate with. We would provide low-priced supplies in exchange for an equivalent weight of gold, and a large number of people from the wasteland would definitely rush to trade like madmen.

For them, there is no such thing as heavy gold; a pound of gold can be exchanged for a pound of vegetables. They can quickly get hundreds of tons of gold and run back to become super rich!

Once you're rich, why bother with all that traveling? Aren't mansions, luxury cars, yachts, and beautiful women enough? Why work yourself to the bone like a dog going back and forth like that...?

Chen Luoqi tossed and turned until dawn before finally managing to doze off for a while. As soon as the alarm rang in the morning, he jumped up, looking completely refreshed, unlike someone who hadn't slept all night. After washing up and changing into some light clothes, he took a deep breath and pressed the button.

"We have a lot of things planned for today. Remember to stay close to me after we go out, don't talk nonsense, and don't meddle in other people's business. The living environment is different. Even a child in the wasteland is much stronger than you."

As Jiang Chen instructed him to put on a very ordinary, half-powered, pieced-together armor that didn't even have ventilation, he reminded him, "As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth. If you don't provoke others, generally no one will be willing to waste energy to harm you."

"The display screen on your left arm shows the remaining levels of the medical pump and energy source. Remember: you must always pay attention to all the values, and if any of them fall below the safety line, you must replace it immediately."

Chen Luoqi's hands trembled slightly with excitement, and he finally managed to put on a set of rust-red armor with great difficulty. When he looked back at Jiang Chen and his silent little follower, his face behind the heavy helmet visor immediately fell.

Damn, their equipment looks incredibly advanced!

The helmet has a strong metallic feel; even the screws look impressive on it, not to mention the smooth lines of the shoulders, the reassuring iron shield on the chest, and the huge jetpack on the back...

Once activated, light blue lights illuminate the shoulders and arms, and the mask has a fierce and imposing design, exuding a strong sense of technology.

Looking at his own rusty red, worn-out armor, it was far too perfunctory. The shape was bulky and the helmet looked like a pig's head. There was only a flashing red light on his arms. It made a wrinkled mechanical sound when he moved. It felt stuffy, hot, and heavy, which was really uncomfortable.

"You might not be used to wearing armor the first time, but you'll get to know it later. Different armor designs have different functions and focuses. Xia Mu and I need to protect your safety this time, so we need to wear armor that makes us stronger in combat. Yours has better defense, so you'll be safer if you encounter danger."

Jiang Chen finally managed to convince Chen Luoqi that he wasn't treating him differently, through a combination of coaxing and cajoling.

After adjusting the communication channel and giving him some instructions, he led the two out of the shelter.

"Huh? Why do you two have heavy weapons, but I have nothing?" Chen Luoqi noticed as soon as he stepped outside that Jiang Chen and his sidekick were carrying super cool, huge guns, while he was empty-handed.

Jiang Chen explained without turning his head, "You have no experience using firearms in the other world. To avoid accidental injury or the gun going off and hurting yourself, you won't be equipped with weapons for today's trip to explore the wasteland. Next time, when we have time, I'll take you to practice shooting properly. You can be equipped with weapons after you're familiar with them before you go out."

Chen Luoqi's face darkened further, but he remained tactful and said nothing more.

But in his heart he was thinking that he should just bear with it a little longer. Once he died, the shelter would be his, and he could do whatever he wanted with all the guns and ammunition. Let's see who dares to complain then.

Just as Chen Luoqi was trying to ease his inner turmoil, he heard Jiang Chen's next words and his mood instantly lifted, and he became happy again.

"To help you understand the wasteland world more quickly and systematically, today I'll take you monster hunting, visit ruined cities, and participate in social activities at the Dark Pine Forest Bar, and also show you the auctions held in the wasteland!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Customized Wasteland Tourism Project

"Host, are you trying to make him cram all the events the script team has arranged into one day? Anyway, there's no set rule about how many monsters to hunt or which ruined city to visit, social activities, auctions... There are also small groups of scavengers in the Dark Pine Forest, hehehe..."

The fluffy little thing perched on his shoulder, flipping through the script and meowing excitedly. "As expected of my chosen host, your reading comprehension is always perfect! According to the plot, once you finish experiencing all of this, it'll be your turn to die 'for some reason,' right? What if the script team is inhuman and drops a nuclear bomb on you?"

Taking advantage of the lull in the engine's revving, Jiang Chen whispered a reminder, using the "putt-putt-putt" of the machine as a cover: "That's why I told you to keep a close eye on him. If anything seems off, cut off his escape route!"

"Okay, meow~" The fluffy ball bounced around excitedly in the wind.

Cheng Xiamu tossed the keys to another small motorcycle to Chen Luoqi, then skillfully hopped onto the back of Jiang Chen's motorcycle, holding a gun in one hand and cautiously watching the other's every move through his helmet visor.

"Motorcycles in the wasteland world are all so wild and domineering!" Chen Luoqi took the keys and glanced at the other party's little follower, guessing the identity of this guy named Xia Mu.

Logically, someone who can accompany the owner of the shelter should be a trusted confidant or deputy.

Could we take this opportunity to try and win him over?

I don't know what kind of treatment Jiang Chen will give him, but as long as the other party's demands for resources are not too outrageous, I can win him over with benefits since I can travel between the two worlds!

Chen Luoqi made up his mind to constantly compare the two worlds in his conversations along the way, letting Xia Mu know that he came from a world rich in resources. He believed that as long as Xia Mu was smart enough and curious, he would find an opportunity to strike up a conversation.

"Wow, that wooden bridge was completely undamaged after a nuclear attack. It seems that nuclear weapons aren't that powerful after all. Hehe, sorry, our world has never used nuclear weapons, so I've never witnessed one."

"Aren't these trees affected by radiation? They don't seem much different from the trees in our city parks."

"What kind of monster was that that just ran past? It's completely different from any species in our world..."

…………

He followed behind on his motorcycle, muttering a few words whenever he saw something and keeping a close eye on Xia Mu's actions.

When he found that the other party had no reaction, Chen Luoqi couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Jiang Chen must have given him instructions beforehand, so he knew that he came from another world. It seems that if he wanted to win someone over, he had to let the other party truly understand how wonderful and abundant the resources of his city were before Xia Mu could be truly moved.
