My apocalyptic heroine has come true

Chapter 13 Scavengers

After appreciating the heroine's satisfied expression.

Turning his gaze back, Fang Ming opened the warehouse again.

He bought another 10 energy points, and now he still has 2 energy points left.

As for why I was unable to save the newly purchased energy points.

That's because Fang Ming was attracted by another prop.

Central Controller:

As the owner of the shelter, you have the right to assign your operating permissions to NPCs. You can customize the time, number of uses, and equipment you assign permissions to. Not only that, you can also view the operation logs of each device in the controller.

Central Controller, priced at 9 energy points.

This thing can be said to be the core of the shelter.

Originally, Fang Ming wanted to save two days' worth of energy points to buy a turret, but then he thought that activating the turret would consume not only energy but also bullets.

He had no bullets at all now, so even if the turret was set up above the shelter, it would just be an empty decoration.

So, after comprehensive consideration, he chose to purchase a central controller.

After all, he can't stare at the game 24 hours a day.

Considering that the female lead will have to go out and use various devices in the future, this central controller is definitely something that must be purchased.

It not only assigns permissions, but also plays a 'monitoring' role.

Fang Ming moved his fingers and placed the central controller next to the basic communicator.

Xia Xiaochi is no longer surprised by these sudden appearances.

She opened her eyes wide and looked over curiously.

"Brother System, is this... a new device?"

"Put your hands on it."

"Yes."

After receiving Fang Ming's order, Xia Xiaochi immediately did as she was told. She placed her palm on the black operating table.

In just one second, the central controller automatically completed her identity recognition.

"Administrator information created."

"Administrator No. 001: Xia Xiaochi"

A female mechanized voice sounded, and Fang Ming had successfully set the permissions.

Considering that the sun starts to rise at 8 am in the last century and it gets completely dark at 4 pm, Fang Ming set her door-opening permission to this time period.

In other words, four o'clock in the afternoon is Xia Xiaochi's 'curfew' time.

Not only that, Fang Ming also gave her partial warehouse authority.

The warehouse authority is mainly for the food area, so even if Fang Ming is busy with something in reality, Xia Xiaochi can get food by himself.

The automatic feeding function is turned on.

There aren't many equipments in the shelter at this stage. Apart from these facilities, there's only the dispersal lamp left.

Fang Ming did not give Xia Xiaochi the authority to turn on and off the lights.

This thing is his secret weapon to threaten Xia Xiaochi and cannot be handed over casually.

Over there at Xia Xiaochi.

Through the description displayed by the central controller, Xia Xiaochi roughly understood the content of his authority.

"You can go out after 8 am, but you must be back before 4 pm."

"Also, your activities cannot exceed one kilometer around the shelter."

Fang Ming sent a message.

The one-kilometer range outside the shelter was the limit of the map he could view on his mobile phone.

Within this range, he can observe all kinds of movements.

Apart from this, he can only obtain information from the third-person perspective of the heroine Xia Xiaochi.

Therefore, considering the safety of the little girl with a broken leg, Fang Ming set a range for her.

"I will strictly enforce it."

Xia Xiaochi's sweet voice sounded, and her attitude was quite serious.

She stood up and, following the instructions on the central controller, casually placed her hands on the metal wall of the shelter.

As the command "open" came out of his mouth.

The door of the shelter slowly opened in silence.

It is now 1 p.m., and the dust outside the shelter is howling in the dim light.

The wind and waves at the door made the corner of Xia Xiaochi's blood-stained shirt rustle.

She pulled the dagger out of her tactical vest and limped out, holding onto the door.

"Don't go too far."

Fang Ming on the other end of the phone warned the heroine who had grown legs and wanted to run.

"Yes."

Xia Xiaochi didn't plan to go far.

She held onto the outer wall of the shelter and walked around it a few times, as if to familiarize herself with the surrounding terrain.

Fang Ming pulled the camera and looked at it repeatedly.

After confirming that there was no living creature within a kilometer around, he turned the camera back on the heroine.

At this time, Fang Ming's infusion for the first half of the day was also finished.

Li Tao came to take away his IV drip, and another woman walked in with the gentle nurse.

The woman stood at the door, looking in cautiously.

Her face was full of wrinkles as she aged, and she had heavy bags under her eyes. A few strands of white hair were slightly visible under her baseball cap.

Fang Ming remembered that Li Tao said this morning that some "family members" came to visit him.

It turned out to be her.

"Fang Ming..."

The middle-aged woman looked outside the door for a few seconds before slowly walking over.

She treated Fang Ming more carefully than anyone else, as if she was afraid that her negligence would hurt Fang Ming.

"Aunt Wang."

Fang Ming pulled out a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Hongxia is the aunt, or nanny, who has worked in Fang Ming's family for more than ten years.

That day, when Sister Tian got married and their family set off to go abroad, Aunt Wang, as the aunt who took care of the daily food, clothing and daily life of the family of four, was supposed to board the plane with them.

But it happened that Aunt Wang caught a cold that day, so the kind-hearted Fang's mother told her not to go and to rest at home for a few more days.

Unexpectedly, Fang's mother's casual words saved Aunt Wang's life.

"I brought you some peach cakes. I made them myself. They were your favorite when you were a kid."

When Wang Hongxia smiled, the wrinkles on her face deepened a little.

Facing this poor kid with such an unfortunate fate, she was extremely careful, and even the expression on her face was gentle and considerate.

"Okay, put it there."

Fang Ming looked down at the female protagonist on his phone who was squatting on the ground picking up trash, and frowned slightly.

"I have some chicken soup here, why don't you try it..."

"Try it later." Fang Ming said with his head down.

He watched Xia Xiaochi pick up a few broken plastic tubes and look at them, and finally picked up a few pieces of glass fragments. Under Fang Ming's surprised gaze, she blew the dust off the glass pieces and then put them into a plastic bag that she had picked up at some point.

Fang Ming: "..."

Hey, what kind of garbage did you pick up for me?

Scavengers...

He is really a scavenger!

"Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll bring you some more."

In front of the bed, Wang Hongxia placed the cut fruit on the small table and asked Fang Ming in a low voice.

Fang Ming pursed his lips tightly.

Xia Xiaochi picked up a wooden stick as support, then hopped on one foot and kicked a metal pot to the door of the shelter.

You are fucking gods and demons.

Fang Ming's mouth twitched.

Wang Hongxia smiled slightly, and she felt relieved when she saw the rich expression on Fang Ming's face.

Compared to the previous Fang Ming who had no expression on his face and just stared blankly every day, the current Fang Ming is obviously in much better condition.

Playing games is good... Having something to do will stop you from having random thoughts every day.

"Auntie Wang, I don't want to eat anything."

Coming back to his senses, Fang Ming remembered to answer Wang Hongxia's question.

Then, he thought of something again.

"I want to eat strawberries," he said.

Wang Hongxia smiled happily: "Yes, strawberries are good. These days are the perfect time to eat strawberries."
