Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland: The Female Protagonist Has Become a God

After seeing Fang Yanqing off, Cang Xingyue suppressed her smile and closed the door expressionlessly.

She figured the base commander must be suspicious of her and had come to test her.

It seems that the matter of finding Shu Yin's superior contact person will have to be put on hold for the time being.

Anyone here could be a hidden enemy, so she has to be extremely careful.

Fang Yanqing slowed his pace after walking a short distance. He looked back to make sure Cang Xingyue had closed the door and gone back, and immediately turned his footsteps from the direction of home toward Area A.

……

The next morning, after having breakfast, Cang Xingyue took the fish and went out.

Before she even left the special economic zone, a dozen or so guards in black uniforms approached and surrounded her, just as they had surrounded her on the street a few days earlier.

Chen Chen was still leading the way, and he walked straight toward her with a solemn expression.

Cang Xingyue immediately became alert upon seeing the guards surrounding her, her eyes coldly fixed on Chen Chen as he approached.

Could it be that the tracking fluid on her body wasn't completely removed, allowing them to discover that Shu Yin was an imposter, and thus they came to arrest her?

Holding the bucket, he silently channeled his supernatural abilities into his palm, preparing for battle at any moment.

Unexpectedly, Chen Chen walked up to her and said, "Hello, Mr. Cang Yunyang, the Nanqi Base Security Bureau is now offering you a position."

Cang Xingyue was relieved; it turned out they weren't there to capture her.

She glanced at the guards surrounding her and said coldly, "With such a large entourage, if Captain Chen hadn't said it was an invitation, I would have thought I had committed some serious crime."

Chen Chen was taken aback, and realizing that the people surrounding him were behaving inappropriately, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we were being presumptuous."

He then waved for the guards to move aside.

Seeing that the guards had moved aside, Cang Xingyue picked up her bucket and prepared to leave.

"I still have to sell fish, so I declined the invitation."

She had only taken two steps when Chen Chen stopped her. He glanced at the fish in her bucket and said, "Name your price. Our security bureau will buy this bucket of fish. Please reconsider."

She pressed down his arm, which was stretched across her face, and refused him outright.

"Not for sale, not even considering it."

If she joined the security bureau, she wouldn't have time to do her own things, and being in the same team as a bunch of guards would be like a sheep entering a wolf's den.

Not only would she be restricted in her actions, but the base commander might also find out everything she did in a day.

She didn't want to create trouble for herself, as it wouldn't do her any good.

The guards who had been standing to the side all came forward and blocked her way, like a wall.

They shouted in unison, "Please consider it!"

After being blocked repeatedly, Cang Xingyue began to get impatient, and her expression became very displeased.

She held the fish bucket up to Chen Chen.

"Three thousand Base Coins, I'll consider it if you buy it."

She made outrageous demands, trying to disgust them into leaving.

To her surprise, Chen Chen quickly took the fish bucket and handed it to the guard beside him, deftly taking out a money bag from his pocket and stuffing it into her hand.

"Here is 3,500 base coins. If you join, you will receive a monthly salary of 5,000."

Cang Xingyue stared in shock at the bag of base coins in her hand, filled with deep regret.

If she had known he would be so agreeable, she would have immediately asked for five thousand, and that way the task would have been completed, and she wouldn't have needed to sell the fish.

However, judging from their attitude, they weren't going to give up until she agreed.

"It's not impossible to agree."

Cang Xingyue whispered in Chen Chen's ear, "Captain Chen, I have a few more fish here..."

Without saying a word, Chen Chen pulled out another money pouch, while Sun Xiaoliu looked pained.

He cried out inwardly, "Captain! That's my purse!"

He shouldn't have put the money with Chen Chen!

Chen Chen said generously, "Just name your price."

"1,500 is enough."

Today, she felt a pang of guilt for being such a shrewd businesswoman, but also a strange sense of satisfaction.

Earning 5,000 base coins instantly and completing the task is incredibly easy; anyone would be thrilled.

At worst, I'll agree to work as a guard for a month, earn the wages, and then return some of the money to him.

Chen Chen generously handed her the money and instructed a guard standing nearby, "Xiao Liu, go and get the fish."

Sun Xiaoliu gave Chen Chen a resentful look, then immediately straightened up and said, "Yes, Captain!"

After taking the fish, Cang Xingyue walked up to Chen Chen.

"I accepted the invitation, but I made it clear beforehand that I would only stay for a month. After all, I joined the base to enjoy a carefree life and didn't want to live a boring, routine life."

After listening, Chen Chen pondered for a moment before responding.

"Okay, you can try it out for a month first. If you are satisfied afterward, you are welcome to stay with the Security Bureau."

"We'll see when the time comes, but I might not agree to stay."

The fish were sold out, and the tasks assigned by the system were completed. With nothing else to do, she planned to go home. As for the security bureau, they probably wouldn't be so heartless as to call her back to work immediately.

She was just about to greet them and say goodbye when Chen Chen's words choked her back.

"You can come with us for duty now."

So Cang Xingyue followed them to the security bureau and received her security uniform and equipment.

Now I'm sitting in the guardhouse with the guard in charge of today's duty.

I never expected that she was arrested by the guards yesterday but infiltrated the team today. She painstakingly stole the elimination liquid and now she has the freedom to use it.

The security bureau has ten guards on duty each day, and the others work in shifts, but she works all day without rest. She said that the base commander instructed that the specially recruited guards must be the main force and must be on duty every day.

If you had told her this at the beginning, she would never have agreed. But when Chen Chen told her about it, she almost stormed off on the spot. But she is a person of her word.

It's only a month, she can just tough it out. If she really can't take it anymore, she can trick the system into filling in for her for a couple of days. She can call on the system again if she needs to fight or capture people.

System: "Task completed, 2 survival points have been awarded."

Having just finished plotting against the system, Cang Xingyue heard his voice and felt inexplicably guilty for a moment.

She already has eight points, and she only needs two more to exchange for the superpower she needs.

"Does the system have any other tasks?"

"Nothing for now, we'll wait for the event to trigger later."

"Ok."

In front of an ancient castle.

Shen Wei hummed a tune leisurely, carrying a package in his hand. He reached out and pushed open the castle gate, shouting as soon as he entered.

"Boss, I'm back!"

A moment later, Yun Jiang came down the stairs quickly and ran towards Shen Wei.

When Shen Wei saw Yun Jiang running towards him, he immediately dropped the package in his hand and happily opened his arms.

Hearing his voice, I rushed downstairs to give him a hug. He's such a good brother!

"Good brother! You missed me..."

"Snapped!"

Shen Wei was shocked: "Yun Jiang, why did you hit me?!"

Yun Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her right hand that had just slapped Shen Wei: "Phew, this slap finally landed on your head."

Shen Wei looked at Yun Jiang in disbelief.

"I thought you missed me and wanted to give me a hug, but I didn't expect you just wanted to give me a slap?!"

Yun Jiang casually dusted off the corner of her clothes and said in a nonchalant, irritating tone, "I've wanted to slap you, you idiot, for a long time. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?"

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to argue with you. I came to see the boss, I'm going to find the boss."

As he spoke, he walked past Yun Jiang, stepping on his foot in the process.

Yun Jiang cried out in pain instantly, crouching down to clutch her injured foot, gritting her teeth as she shouted, "Shen Wei! You son of a bitch!"

"The boss is in a bad mood right now, so you'd better not go and provoke him."
