My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

As Li Wei slashed at the zombies, he pondered that if things continued to develop this way and he saved the world, he might become a figure as great as Confucius.

It could even launch an unprecedented "Confucian and Taoist Expedition".

Chapter 18 I think this kid is a good boss

After much effort, Li Wei finally cleared out all the zombies that had infested the school and met the survivors.

To be honest, it didn't take much effort. There were no special zombies here, just a few crawlers or lickers, which were easy to kill. Even the stamina I lost was replenished by the continuous supply of "gift!" energy.

Later, inspired by him, many survivors in the stadium opened the gates, grabbed makeshift weapons, and joined in the clearing of the zombies. They and Li Wei seemed to form a unified whole, much like the great Confucian scholars of ancient times who gathered the surrounding Confucian students to launch a procession to spread rites, conquering barbarians and singing and beating drums.

Their worship and high morale provided Li Wei with a constant source of energy. Li Wei's relentless slaughter of zombies further boosted their morale, making them even more warlike and powerful, allowing him to rise to the heavens with his left foot stepping on his right.

As for where these unscientific forces, which are as unscientific as perpetual motion machines, come from, perhaps only Confucius himself would know.

"Kill them all! Crush them!"

"For the future of mankind!"

“waaagh!!!!”

He felt like these guys were shouting something he couldn't understand, but it didn't matter. Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, he couldn't interfere.

During this process, Li Wei was surprised to find that the school was in a pretty good location, nestled against the mountains and by the water, with industrial facilities nearby. The hydroelectric power plant and waterworks were not far away, and the school itself was easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it a good place.

In ancient times, this place was a great place for robbers and thieves. If you met a hero on the road, you would have to trick him into going up the mountain.

"After cleaning this up, we can let everyone live in the school. It would be a good option as a base in the apocalypse," Li Wei thought to himself.

As the group continued their work, the last zombie on campus was finally cleared out, and the survivors erupted in thunderous cheers, swarming around Li Wei.

"Hiss, uh..."

It's strange. Just now, in everyone's eyes, Li Wei's body kept getting bigger and bigger, and his height was about 3.5 meters. But now that it's over, we find that his body has returned to a little over 1.7 meters. It's as if everything just now was an illusion.

How come this can change size anywhere?

"You've all done a great job. In this apocalypse, only those who are not afraid of death have the right to live. You make me very happy." The boy praised the group from the bottom of his heart, which made them feel flattered and some even cried with emotion.

What is this? Did he conquer his own kind by force and become the most cunning and powerful boss in their eyes? He was clearly a Confucian scholar, at most a little strong and powerful.

"I'm looking for someone named Yukino Yukinoshita. Is she with you now?" Confirming Yukinoshita's safety is more important than correcting their mistakes.

"So, Yukinoshita is your woman? Go and call your sister-in-law over here!"

Immediately, some busybodies turned around and ran back to the stadium, thoroughly enjoying this kind of errand-running.

Li Wei: "..." Hey, that's about right.

Not long after, surrounded by the crowd, the smaller version of Yukinoshita appeared before the boy. Seeing that she was completely unharmed, not even a hair was missing, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aunt Yukinoshita asked me to come find you. By the way, your sister is alright too." Hearing this, Yukinoshita's heart finally settled down, and she almost burst into tears on the spot. Fortunately, the girl with long brown twin tails who seemed to be on good terms with her comforted her.

This child looks familiar; I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't quite place it.

"Don't you remember me, Touma? Your sister and I were classmates in junior high." Undoing her twin tails, the other person seemed very familiar: "Do you remember what I look like?"

"...Oh, it's Setsuna." No wonder she looked familiar; she used to work at the "Rabbit House" coffee shop.

This isn't the place to talk right now; we have a lot of work to do. We can continue our reminiscing later.

But no one moved; instead, they watched him and waited for his orders. Clearly, they had completely submitted to Li Wei's benevolent tactics during the battle.

"Clean up the battlefield immediately. It's hot now, and if we leave it unattended, it will easily rot and cause disease. We are currently short of medical resources, so we can't waste them on this."

"Reinforce the gates and walls, collect necessary supplies, and all survivors must write a self-introduction, specifically noting their areas of expertise, so that they can be assigned to the appropriate units."

"Those skilled in mechanical repair will maintain the power supply and equipment, while the others will continue the search to prevent any from escaping."

As orders were issued one after another, people went to carry them out, and the entire school seemed to come alive again, regaining its vitality.

This scene is somewhat like an ancient general issuing military orders, and also somewhat like a teacher instructing students.

During this process, the boy felt his sense of "propriety" grow stronger, more powerful, and more "proprious"!

"Oh, right, there's one more thing," Li Wei added as a final note. "Are the Goto family here? Their daughter, Goto Ichiri, is with me and is safe now."

The next moment, a housewife and her husband, who were mopping up the bloodstains on the ground, embraced and wept, while their young daughter looked at the boy with a strange expression.

"what happened?"

This little girl has pink hair and looks exactly like her sister.

"Um, are you my sister's man?" Taking back what I said earlier, this girl only resembles her sister in appearance; their personalities are completely different.

"No." At least not yet.

“Oh…” Pochi’s sister looked extremely disappointed: “That’s right, with your appearance, it’s really hard for you to find a man like that. You’d be lucky to even get a mistress.”

"..."

Did Pochi's parents forget to give her an extroverted personality when they had her, and then give her double the personality when they had her younger sister? This is clearly a social terrorist.

"Big brother, let me tell you a secret. Actually, I look really plain, but I'm actually a hidden busty woman!"

"If your sister knew this, she would beat you to death..." How can there be such a big difference between sisters born of the same mother?

He shoved the hat over the young girl's head, ignoring her ramblings, and looked at the rest of the group: "What are your professions?"

“We are teachers, but we are too old to do much physical work and are no longer of any use.”

"Teacher, that's great!" The boy breathed a sigh of relief. "Your job is to keep teaching them. If the world ends, don't even think about skipping class!"

"what!?"

The students not far away let out a heart-wrenching cry.

Chapter 19 Where did all these sisters-in-law come from?

As an ordinary Japanese high school student, Hata Kosaku felt that his life these past few days had been incredibly exciting with all the ups and downs.

First, a virus broke out inexplicably during class, and many people turned into monsters—or, in Mr. Touma's words, zombies. A group of people were trapped in the stadium waiting to die, and it seemed that the whole world was going to be destroyed, and human civilization would be completely wiped out.

The very next day, a handsome young man who appeared to be kind, righteous, and courteous suddenly appeared and led everyone to chop up all the zombies in the school. Not only did they clear out the remaining zombies on campus, but they also advanced outwards, gathering many survivors from other areas.

In Mr. Touma's words, we must unite in the face of the apocalypse, and do our best to bring the survivors together to rebuild human civilization.

Because I was an agricultural student and had farmed in the countryside, I was much better than city dwellers who were lazy and knew nothing about farming. Therefore, I was regarded as a technical talent and was prepared to lay the foundation for reclaiming lost land and planting crops to obtain food in the future.

However, these things haven't been realized yet. There's no land, no farm tools, no agricultural machinery, no fertilizers or pesticides, so for now, we'll have to rely on personnel to fill the gap.

"Name." Looking at the new survivor in front of him, Hata Kousaku skillfully prepared to start recording.

These are survivors discovered after the recapture of much lost territory in the past few days. At the same time, the hydroelectric power station has been repaired, and the school's power has been partially restored. However, the water supply is still insufficient, and drinking water can only be supplied for two hours a day. After that, you'll be thirsty.

"Houtarou Oreki." He appears to be a student from another high school.

Special skills.

"Uh, does reading count? I've read all kinds of works, both ancient and modern, from China and abroad. I understand four languages, and I'm skilled in art and painting, especially mystery fiction..."

"Alright, alright, I understand." Hata Kosaku nodded and wrote two large characters on his profile: [Literacy].

Houtarou Oreki: "@＃！￥…＆%！So you just dismissed me with two words after all I've said?"

"Take your resume and register with Sister Yukinoshita. That place is full of literary boys and girls. After we take over the city library, it will be your responsibility to run it." Hata Kosaku pointed to the small Yukinoshita not far away, gesturing for him to hurry over.

"Sister-in-law?" The other person was clearly a little confused.

"What should Mr. Touma's woman be called if not 'sister-in-law'?"

In fact, at first everyone wanted to call Li Wei "boss" or "elder brother," but the young man said it didn't sound good and wanted to change it. They also wanted to call him "sir," but the young man felt it wasn't intimate enough, so they asked everyone to call him "sir."

Many people actually think that this way of addressing him could easily lead people to misunderstand that he is Ms. Touma Yoko's husband, but after thinking about it, they decided against it and there was no need to argue with him over a form of address.

In private, people still prefer to call him "boss".

"Hurry up and get going, don't just stand there, you'll block the road." After sending Oreki Houtarou away, "Next, name."

"Akasaka Ryunosuke."

"Wow, you're a guy!?" The country boy stared at the girl in front of him, lost in thought. You city people really know how to have fun.

"There are deep reasons for this, and I didn't want it to happen either." The other person didn't say anything, but their face was full of stories.

Special skills.

"A programmer, especially accomplished in the field of artificial intelligence, who developed an AI program called 'Maid-chan'. He is skilled in both software and computer hardware."

"Understood." Hata Kosaku skillfully picked up his pen and wrote "[Can fix computers]" in the "Special Skills" column.

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "I'm not a computer repairman!"

"That's not important. Take your resume to Sister-in-law Hanekawa and register. From now on, you'll be handling all the engineering and programming work." Hata Kosaku pointed to the girl with braided hair and glasses in the distance, indicating that she should register and become a glorious young engineer, eventually becoming a top tech expert.

"Isn't your sister-in-law named Yukinoshita?"

"There are several more, is it any of your business? Next, name."

"Kitahara Iori".

Special skills.

"He's good at sports, can do everything except swimming and diving, has plenty of stamina and has fought many tough battles... By the way, does drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor) with an alcohol content of 60° or higher count like drinking tea?"

"Alright, I understand. We're in dire need of someone like you right now." Hata Kosaku said, indicating his understanding, and wrote "[Can fight]" in the skills section.

Kitahara Iori: "I've lost the desire to make sarcastic remarks. Which sister-in-law should I go to?"

"Go to Sister-in-law Poison Island's combat unit. It all depends on you to reclaim lost territory and gather the survivors." Hata Kosaku pointed at the purple-haired, big-chested killer, indicating that anyone who can kill is a good soldier, and that he should strive to become both cunning and capable of fighting, turning a novice into a leader.

"Hello, we are Boqi-chan's friends. Where do we register?"

Also rescued this time was a group of girl bands, led by a blonde archangel who looked full of energy.

"Go to the music room and sign up." Seeing this group of people, Hata Kosaku's mood brightened.

Under Mr. Touma's leadership, everyone is in high spirits and constantly receiving new blood; the future looks bright!

I wonder what Mr. Touma is doing now. He must be busy with something important about the survival of humanity.

Watching the survivors come to register one after another, Hata Kousaku inexplicably felt as if all the heroes of the world were now under his control, and he was completely exhilarated.

……

Meanwhile, inside the central building of the school, Li Wei, whom the survivors placed their hopes on and regarded as a god-like figure, was listening to Hiratsuka Shizuka's report.

As the second strongest fighter in the team after herself, and also a reliable adult, she is now considered the number two figure in the entire survivor stronghold.

"In short, at the current rate, food can only last for a month at most, energy is not even enough for half a month, and a lot of equipment is too specialized for the survivors to use. The situation is not optimistic."

She was lying on the sofa in a very uncouth manner. The older, marriage-hungry female teacher wasn't even wearing shoes. Her legs, covered by pantyhose, were draped directly on the coffee table. She had no manners at all, showing absolutely no airs of a teacher.

So, what are you planning to do?

"Japan is an island nation that lacks resources, so it's perfectly normal for it to have energy shortages."

Looking at the map of Chiba City, Li Wei pointed to one of the locations: "This is the Self-Defense Forces' base area. It must contain enough equipment and food for a large number of personnel, as well as a considerable energy reserve. The zombie crisis has only been going on for a few days, so it must not have decomposed yet. We need to gather our forces and take this place."

Actually, he had another purpose.

Not far from the Self-Defense Forces' base is one of the Umbrella Corporation's largest branches in Japan. Although there's no evidence, Li Wei always felt that the events in this timeline were inextricably linked to it.

Once I get the supplies, I'll sneak in and find out for myself.

Chapter 20 Governing the Country with Cooking Power

Post-apocalyptic exploration—what an image that easily conjures up all sorts of thoughts.

Almost immediately, the mere mention of it conjures images of scenes from American post-apocalyptic movies and TV shows, where people storm supermarkets, stockpile food and supplies, and take down zombies one by one with a single shot. If you also happen to meet a soulmate, it's practically like a vacation.

You'll see when you get here; it's all nonsense.

Food is grown in the ground, not freshly refreshed on supermarket shelves. Gasoline is dug from the ground and refined through more than a dozen chemical processes, not just sprayed out when you press a pump at a gas station. Not to mention other supplies such as medicine, clothing, and sanitary napkins. When people open their eyes, so many are waiting to eat, and the pressure is all on their shoulders.

Therefore, apart from a small number of capable personnel remaining near the school, the rest were divided into two groups, led by Li Wei and Saeko respectively, heading to the former Self-Defense Force base and the port of Chiba City. The former had stockpiled energy and weapons supplies, while the latter was the most well-supplied place in the city.

There may still be plenty of food in supermarkets, but with the power outage, fresh food will have mostly rotted away in this hot weather. Moreover, the location is densely populated with too many zombies, making the risks and rewards disproportionate and thus a low priority.

"The containers and cold storage at the dock are the main sources of supplies. We currently have enough vehicles, and each team has a driver. Everyone must act quickly and avoid getting infected."

"There's a hospital nearby, which is the closest medicine supply point to us. Ms. Ju Chuan has already labeled the most urgently needed and common types of medicine bottles. Please carry only what you need and avoid damaging them to prevent waste."
