I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

Aphrodite smiled and nodded.

Under the guidance of this peculiar couple, the village quickly recovered its vitality.

Not only that, Aphrodite also took the initiative to propose building a temple for Zhang Chen.

"The gods need offerings from believers to absorb their divine power," she explained.

"Master Zhang Chen has done so much for us, we should repay him."

The villagers readily agreed and contributed to the construction of the temple.

Soon after, a solemn temple stood in the center of the village, becoming a place for villagers to pray every day.

Aphrodite's own temple was also rebuilt, albeit on a smaller scale, but was equally revered by the villagers.

Feeling the villagers' piety, Aphrodite was filled with remorse.

She remembered that when the zombies came, she and Zeus were high above, overlooking all living things being destroyed, and did not help in time.

Aphrodite stroked the girl's hair with a smile, and secretly made up her mind to follow Zhang Chen.

She deeply felt that Zhang Chen was the good god who could truly bring peace to mankind.

Elsa also uses her fire powers.

Help villagers make bricks and tiles to improve the quality of their houses.

She taught the villagers how to store food and preserve it to get through hard times.

Thanks to her efforts, the small village gradually recovered and became even more prosperous than before.

When the surrounding villagers learned that this place was protected by gods, they all came here with their families to settle down.

At the same time, the villagers worship Zhang Chen devoutly every day.

They built a small ancestral temple in the center of the village, offering fresh fruits and clean water every day to thank Zhang Chen for his protection and gifts.

However, at this moment, Zhang Chen was in a remote border area.

He stood on a dry land, and all he could see was cracked earth and withered vegetation.

The drought has lasted for several months, bringing great disaster to the people here.

Zhang Chen looked at the hungry villagers in front of him. Their thin bodies and desperate eyes made him feel heartbroken.

He could hear their prayers and feel their pain.

As a newly minted god, he longed to help these people, but was afraid that his power would draw unwanted attention to himself.

Zhang Chen raised his hand gently and felt the divine power surging at his fingertips.

He knew that with just a little effort, he could bring down the rain and solve the current drought.

However, when his eyes swept across the dry land, he saw a reality more cruel than drought.

In a dilapidated village, a skinny woman held a baby, her eyes full of despair.

With shaking hands she lifted the child to her mouth.

Zhang Chen heard her mumbling: "I'm sorry, baby...Mom has no choice..."

Zhang Chen was shocked and hurried forward to stop him: "Wait! Don't do this!"

The woman looked at Zhang Chen who suddenly appeared in horror, tears streaming down her face: "Sir... We haven't eaten for three days... I would rather die than watch my child starve to death..."

Zhang Chen gently took the child and took out some food from the space and gave it to her: "Take it and fill your stomach first."

The woman was so grateful that she kowtowed repeatedly.

However, at this moment, a rude laugh was heard.

Zhang Chen turned his head and saw a burly man with several of his men rampaging in the village.

"Haha, this house is great!" The village tyrant pointed to a relatively intact house and said, "From today on, this is mine!"

The owner of the house, an honest middle-aged man, stood up tremblingly: "Brother...Brother, this is passed down from my ancestors..."

The village bully slapped him to the ground and said, "Get lost!"

"What I like belongs to me!"

His eyes fell on a young woman again, and he said with a lewd smile: "You are not bad, come back with me and serve me!"

The woman hid behind her husband in fear, but her husband bravely stood in front of her and said, "No! This is my wife!"

The village tyrant sneered: "Oh, you still dare to resist?" Then he was about to take action.

Zhang Chen couldn't bear it any longer and instantly appeared in front of the village tyrant.

There was a gleam in his eyes, and his voice was filled with unquestionable authority: "Enough!"

The village tyrant was frightened by the sudden momentum and took a few steps back involuntarily: "Who... who are you?"

Zhang Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold. He slowly raised his hand and said in a voice that sounded like it came from the Netherworld: "Perhaps I am the one who ends your life."

Before he could finish his words, the village tyrant's head suddenly twisted at an incredible angle.

The crisp sound of breaking bones and tearing muscles was horrifying.

His eyes bulged, his tongue stuck out, and his face was twisted into a horrible expression.

Blood gushed out from all his orifices, forming a scarlet puddle on the ground.

The whole process took only a blink of an eye, and the village tyrant had become a twisted and deformed corpse, lying on the ground twitching.

This horrifying scene silenced the surrounding villagers in an instant, with some even falling to their knees and trembling in fear.

The village tyrant's subordinates were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, fearing that they would be the next to suffer.

The couple in the house witnessed all this and felt both horrified and grateful.

They knelt on the ground trembling and kowtowed to Zhang Chen: "Thank you, Lord God, for saving our lives! We are willing to work like slaves for you to repay your kindness!"

Zhang Chen glanced at them indifferently, then turned his gaze to the baby who was almost eaten.

He pondered for a moment and made a decision.

Zhang Chen gently picked up the baby.

Seeing the couple's panicked expressions, Zhang Chen left with the baby without explanation.

If they can sell their children once to survive, they can sell them a second time.

In order to prevent this from happening again, Zhang Chen thought about finding a more suitable family for the child.

Seeing this, the couple lowered their heads in shame and dared not refute.

They knew in their hearts that what Zhang Chen said was the truth.

In the face of extreme hunger, they might indeed make the same choice again.

Zhang Chen looked around and saw these villagers who were suffering so much, feeling both pity and helplessness.

He knew that it would take more time and effort to completely change the situation.

Zhang Chen was about to leave the village with the baby in his arms when he suddenly heard a burst of shrill shouting and cursing coming from a nearby farmhouse.

"You money-loser, why don't you just let the zombies bite you to death?" a rough male voice roared.

Zhang Chen frowned and turned to walk towards the direction where the sound came from.

Through the gap in the shabby wooden door, he saw an old man with a ferocious face waving a thick wooden stick and beating a thin figure on the ground frantically.

The scene Zhang Chen saw was heartbreaking.

The young girl curled up on the ground motionless, as if she had lost her breath of life.

Her lower body was naked, obviously unable to cover herself due to extreme poverty.

The girl's thin body was covered with shocking purple scars, some of which were still stained with blood.

The scars, some new and some old, told of the long-term abuse and suffering she had experienced.

Her ribs were clearly visible and her skin was an unhealthy grayish white due to malnutrition.

Zhang Chen wanted to turn around and leave. Gods should not interfere with the cause and effect of mortals at will.

However, at this moment, he sensed a faint and strange breath passing by.

A faint light suddenly appeared on the girl who seemed to be dead.

Zhang Chen instantly understood that this was a soul from another world that miraculously possessed the body of the dying girl.

What surprised Zhang Chen even more was that he sensed that this girl possessed a strange supernatural power.

This ability is extremely rare in this world and is full of infinite possibilities.

At this moment, the girl opened her eyes with difficulty and stretched out her hand weakly to Zhang Chen: "Please... please..."

Seeing the girl asking for help, Zhang Chen could no longer hold back.

He kicked the wooden door open and shouted angrily: "Stop!"

The old man was startled by the sudden intruder, but soon regained his fierce look: "Who are you? This is my own child, why do you care?"

Zhang Chen looked at him coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a thick stack of silver bills appeared in the air.

"I'll buy her." His tone left no room for doubt. "This money is enough for you to buy ten slaves."

When the old man saw the money, greed immediately flashed in his eyes.

He pounced on the banknote without hesitation: "Deal! This money-losing item is yours!"

Zhang Chen looked at the old man with disgust, then squatted down to check on the girl.

The girl was skinny and covered with scars.

When she saw Zhang Chen, she smiled with relief, then fainted with peace of mind.

Zhang Chen gently picked her up, turned around and left this malicious house.

...

When the girl woke up again, she found herself lying in a golden wheat field.

The warm sunshine shone on her and the breeze caressed her cheeks.

Su Baizhi sat up in confusion and found that she was covered with a soft blanket.

She blinked, trying to clear her thoughts.

Suddenly, a strange yet familiar memory flooded into her mind, causing her to gasp.

She looked around and what she saw was unbelievable.

Looking around, you can see lush green farmland and golden wheat waves swaying gently in the breeze, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The air was filled with the fragrance of earth and wheat.

However, according to the original owner's memory, this should be a dry and barren land.

For decades, the area has suffered from drought, with no grass growing, let alone such a vibrant field.

Su Baizhi remembered that the old people in the village often said that they had not seen such a bumper harvest in decades.

"This...how is this possible?" Su Baizhi murmured to herself, her voice full of surprise and confusion.

She looked down at her body and was even more surprised.

The possessed body was skinny, with ribs clearly visible and arms so thin that they looked like they would break at any time.

The original owner had apparently suffered from long-term malnutrition and abuse.

Su Baizhi smiled bitterly and shook her head.

As a "newcomer" who had just traveled through time, she thought she would possess the body of a rich lady or a favored daughter of heaven.

Who could have thought that fate would play such a joke on her, making her a poor, tortured girl.

"It seems my 'new life' is not going to be that easy," she thought to herself with self-mockery.

At this moment, she noticed a tall figure standing not far away, with his back to her, seemingly looking into the distance.

For some reason, Su Baizhi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security and dependence in her heart.
