At this time, he had already returned to the hotel. Jiang Yue basically dragged the whole time and hadn't recovered from the shadow of being splashed with blood. The team was now commanded by Xiao Jun.
As soon as they entered the room, Jiang Yue seemed to suddenly come to her senses. Her eyes looked towards Xiao Jun.
"Brother Jun, I remember now. That person was the one who rested not far from us during the lunch break."
That group of people?
Xiao Jun also remembered. At the time, he didn't pay much attention to them. He didn't expect them to stab him in the back.
He would remember this debt. Since they were all in Star City, there would be a chance to settle it sooner or later.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. We're still short on people and need to recruit more."
Xiao Jun didn't want anything like this to happen again. To prevent it, they had to become strong enough.
If it was a hundred first-order mutant young ladies wielding steel knives today, would that group still dare to come?
Thirty didn't seem like much for a team, but it was still far from enough.
Both physically and psychologically, females were generally the weaker group. To build an army of women that would not be bullied, they needed more people.
Jiang Yue agreed with this view.
They already had enough strength now, finding food was not difficult, and they had obtained a high-tech tent today that could easily accommodate even a hundred people.
Of course, she didn't know yet that the airdrops would stop increasing tomorrow. When the survivors discovered this, the fierce struggle would just be beginning.
"Recruit people, also, from now on, use all the space equipment to carry supplies, not just for the airdrops."
"All the major supermarkets and shopping malls, we need to go to them. The storage warehouses are usually on the underground floor. We need more supplies."
"Remember, focus on food and stock up on more water. Also get more outdoor survival gear."
Jiang Yue didn't know why they needed these things. Outdoor survival? Did Brother Jun not plan on staying at the hotel anymore?
Xiao Jun didn't explain much to her.
The premature appearance of the second-order zombies had always been a threshold in Xiao Jun's mind. He didn't know if other things would happen early, but it was good to prepare in advance.
Recruiting people was also in preparation for this.
The zombies outside the city would only be more numerous than inside. To live outside, they first had to clear the area.
In his imagination, about five hundred people would be enough.
Before going out, he still had to visit the survivor team.
After tomorrow, humans would realize the zombies were no longer increasing. The survivor teams would expand at an extremely fast pace, sweeping across most of Star City, forming territories and establishing order.
Xiao Jun did not intend to join now, because an earthquake had not yet occurred. The city was not safe at present.
In his previous life, the earthquake had reduced the survivors by half. Many first-order mutants had perished, not to mention ordinary people.
At exactly midnight that night.
Xiao Jun stood at the window, a cigarette burning slowly in his hand.
The sky was normal. The rift that had appeared for a week was gone, along with those annoying zombies.
Everything seemed to have returned to the right track, continuing according to the world Xiao Jun knew.
"Brother Jun, is this the change you mentioned?"
Jiang Yue and Wan Qianya stood on either side of Xiao Jun. Wan Qianya asked in surprise.
Jiang Yue also looked out the window wide-eyed, but there wasn't a hint of zombies in the sky.
Both of them now had a big question mark in their minds. How did Brother Jun know? Did he predict this?
Xiao Jun didn't explain. It was hard to make sense of this even with an explanation, better to maintain an air of mystery.
"Starting today, zombies and airdrops will stop increasing. The big melee is coming."
Closing the curtains, Xiao Jun sighed and said.
The apocalypse was just beginning. Fighting zombies only required courage, but fighting humans was the real test.
If these girls were still as kindhearted as today, unable to take action against humans, what awaited them was destined to be a bloody lesson.
Xiao Jun would not intervene. He believed Jiang Yue could handle it.
Jiang Yue sighed faintly, looking at Xiao Jun with complicated emotions.
[Could this man really be the legendary protagonist? Did he transmigrate or reincarnate?]
Damn, Xiao Jun cursed violently in his heart. He never expected that there would be females who liked reading apocalypse novels these days!
Was this the reason for her rise in the apocalypse?
Was the reason he did so poorly in his previous life that he never read apocalypse novels?
But no matter, so what if he never read them? He had reincarnated now, that made him a protagonist too.
[In apocalypse novels, the male lead usually takes a harem. Could Brother Jun be thinking the same? Why else would he build this army of women?]
[But I was the leader, even Qianya used to listen to me. Doesn't that make me the boss?]
Xiao Jun was very speechless. Did I build this army of women? I told you to recruit people, and you only recruited women. Now you blame me?
And how did it become who's the boss? I didn't do anything to her!
"It's late, time to rest. You still need to go out recruiting tomorrow."
Xiao Jun dismissed them. If he let this girl think more, who knew what else she'd imagine.
Jiang Yue left with many thoughts, while Xiao Jun and Wan Qianya returned to their room.
...
"Brother Jun, we're setting off."
Early next morning, Wan Qianya left with Jiang Yue.
Last night, Jiang Yue had made a large wooden signboard and written the recruitment notice for the army of women. Today she planned to have someone hold it up the whole time.
At the same time, Jiang Yue had secretly made another decision in her heart. Aside from these requirements, they had to be good-looking.
The protagonist's harem had to be all beauties, right? That was how it was written in the books.
Xiao Jun didn't get to hear this sentence, otherwise he really would have liked her. This girl had good awareness, she had to be the boss...
Jiang Yue's army of women was already morphing into Xiao Jun's harem brigade, yet as the protagonist, Xiao Jun still didn't know.
It was already 9:10 when Xiao Jun went out. By now, all the survivors in the city should know no new airdrops were falling.
They also didn't know if there would be more airdrops in the future. As it looked now, the airdrops in the city were the last. Opening one meant one less.
Instantly, the entire city was stirred up. Countless people emerged from hiding and searched for the remaining airdrops.
At the same time, all kinds of supermarkets and shopping malls were entered by countless people.
The last few days, most didn't want to take the risk of going deep inside shopping centers. Not everyone was like Xiao Jun, able to easily kill a group of zombies.
Besides, they didn't have space equipment either. Even if they went in, how much could they take?
As long as there were airdrops, finding one could feed them for a month.
But that wouldn't work anymore. With no new airdrops, food would become extremely scarce again.
Under these circumstances, the difficulty for Jiang Yue and the others to find airdrops and supplies greatly increased. But recruitment went very smoothly, already filling a hundred people the first day.
Xiao Jun's female college student team officially expanded to a hundred, becoming one of the largest teams in Star City.
And his team was all beauties.

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
