Conservative estimates suggest that there are fewer than 200 million survivors remaining in the three bases, and this number is rapidly decreasing.

Human extinction is imminent.

Gu Xixi didn't waste any words. Seeing that they had regained their strength, she said, "Shang Yu, do you want to build a truly safe shelter for the continuation of human civilization?"

"I'm not willing," Shang Yu replied quickly and frankly.

Gu Xixi: !!!

"Did you hear what I said clearly?" Gu Xixi patiently repeated herself. She wanted to cry. They had promised that finding the Chosen One would speed up the completion of the mission.

As it turned out, the chosen one was unwilling to do any work.

Who would have thought of this!

"Of course I heard you clearly, Miss Gu. Look at me, I have no superpowers and I'm just an ordinary person who almost starves to death every day. How could I possibly have the strength to save others?"

Shang Yu sneered and pointed to himself.

"I am self-aware. Besides, my current wish is not to be eaten by others. I am really not worthy of such a grand project as continuing human civilization."

So that's what you were worried about. That makes things easier.

Gu Xixi nodded. "So you mean you'll be willing to do this when you're capable?"

"What does Miss Gu mean? Why did you come to me?" Shang Yu became cautious again. He had studied free fighting before, but it didn't mean he possessed unparalleled martial arts skills.

He didn't believe in the idea that he was the chosen one of heaven; he was just an ordinary person.

"What I mean is, many people in this world will soon awaken superpowers, and the remaining humans will have the strength to fight against zombies. You will also have a chance."

Gu Xixi looked at him without flinching.

"My purpose in coming here is to build a shelter for the surviving humans and continue human civilization. If you're willing, could you stay and help me with this? If you agree, I'll take you and your friends in, and I can provide you with food, lodging, and transportation. How about it?"

Gu Xixi simply used the pretense of hiring someone, so that at least it would sound like he was capable of doing this and was reliable.

As his power and ambition grow, he will naturally follow the path of the chosen one.

Shang Yu had never thought that far ahead about continuing this worthless human civilization, but the temptation of the conditions right in front of them that could solve their survival difficulties was simply too great.

Judging from the strength that this Miss Gu has demonstrated, it is indeed unfathomable.

He looked at his companions, and the remaining two men and two women were also staring at him, their eyes filled with longing. They had been going hungry for years and were really fed up.

Let alone providing them with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, we'd even be happy to provide them with just food and treat them like pets.

This is the apocalypse!

“Okay, we agree.” Shang Yu answered on behalf of everyone. Gu Xixi looked at the others, and the remaining four immediately nodded to indicate that they really agreed. If they took a chance, they could have a better life.

They're willing to take a gamble.

[Brother Tongzi, they can be treated as temporary, unofficial employees at the supermarket, like Caocao.]

[Yes, the information for all five individuals has been entered into the supermarket management system. Please check.]

[Shang Yu, the Chosen One: 28 years old, skilled in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), loves roast chicken, 188cm tall, weighs 110 jin (approximately 55kg), malnourished; Shang Xue: Shang Yu's younger sister, 171cm tall, mature and sophisticated, skilled in calculation]

[Chen Youyou: 16 years old, oval face, 155cm; Chen Zhen: sibling of Chen Youyou, 174cm, good at running; Zhou Jun: 25 years old, round face, 172cm, no particular talent.]

Gu Xixi matched the names and faces according to their height. Seeing their exhausted appearance, she pointed to Chu Feng and Ran Qing, "These two are my assistants, Chu Feng and Ran Qing. If you need anything for your daily needs, please contact them."

There are 40 rooms in the dormitory. Apart from herself, everyone else is occupied, which is just right. She needs to free up two rooms.

"Ran Qing, you and Zhao Jing will move to the third floor to sleep in the guest rooms. Chu Feng, you will sleep in the remaining room. The three rooms that are vacated will be divided among the three of them. Shang Yu will have a room by herself, Shang Xue and Chen Youyou will share a room, and Zhou Jun and Chen Zhen will share a room."

"Take them to rest first, get a good night's sleep, and start work again tomorrow morning."

Zhao Jing and Ran Qing are both girls, so it would be better for her to live with them. Chu Feng is responsible for protecting her, so it would be best for him to live upstairs.

"Yes," Chu Feng replied, then gestured for Shang Yu and the other four to follow him. Zhao Jing, on the other hand, went upstairs to retrieve supplies from the delivery machine based on their estimated heights and sent a message to the modern world asking for suitable clothes.

As for toiletries, she saw that they were provided when she went to check the dorm, so she didn't need to worry about them.

Apart from Shang Yu, the rest of them were shocked by Gu Xixi's accurate pronunciation of their names. Their hearts pounded, but they still followed Chu Feng to the backyard.

When the group arrived at the dormitory building, the tidy rooms, beds, hot water, and bath towels seemed like a distant memory.

They stood there together in one of the dorm rooms for several minutes, looking around and touching things before realizing it was real; they had truly found a very, very good shelter.

Shang Yu's face hardened, becoming even more serious. "Hurry up and wash up and get some rest. We must do a good job tomorrow."

In the apocalypse, to be able to provide such accommodations... their work must be incredibly difficult.

Shang Yu returned to his room, took off his clothes, revealing his emaciated body, and let the hot water slowly wash over him. The long-lost warmth made his nose tingle.

Can humanity really go back to what it was before?

They almost couldn't hold on and were about to starve to death. Gu Xixi... the Xi of hope, will she bring real hope?

After Gu Xixi finished doing all this, she went upstairs and got a map of the city and the locations of the three bases from Brother Tongzi.

She called a meeting with Tong Yue and Chu Feng to confirm their mission for tomorrow: Chu Feng and Tong Yue would lead a team of men and Zhou Jun to investigate the city's situation and, if they encountered any survivors with nowhere to go, send them to the temporary shelter building at the back.

Zhao Jing and Ran Qing are safe inside the supermarket; they are in charge of its operation.

Gu Xixi planned to distribute leaflets herself at the Beiying base, which was the furthest from here, while leaving the Nanshui and Dongfeng bases to Shang Yu and the others.

After Chu Feng and Tong Yue left to make arrangements and notify the others, the supermarket returned to tranquility.

No humans came until closing time.

The next morning.

modern.

At 4:40, the fog rose, and Shen Qingyan slowly walked over, leading the oxcart. His first instinct was to look towards the stone table in the backyard of the supermarket, where Gu Xixi usually sat, smiling and waiting for him.

But today, only Chen Yu was there; Chu Feng and the other girl who had been with Gu Xixi were not there either… Shen Qingyan searched around, but still couldn’t find Gu Xixi.
