Post-Apocalyptic Rebirth: The Ghost Guanyin Transforms into a God

[July 18, 2022]

We finally cleared out all the monsters, and Moon City returned to its monster-free state. Captain Hu and the others are now figuring out how to electrify the iron mesh.

However, food is running out, and the vegetables we planted aren't growing as fast as they should. Everyone has gone out to find supplies, so I have to guard this place. Setting up the granary on Heyuan Street was the right decision.

But a few days ago, one of the guards at the granary committed suicide because he knew his wife, who had gone to her parents' home, had died. Alas.

-

Upon entering the interior of Moon City, Miao Yin realized that the iron netting used for defense was not simply a single layer of iron netting.

In fact, there is another layer of defense behind it, constructed by welding steel plates and high-voltage electric grids, and finally, sandbags are used to secure it to prevent accidental contact.

Because Moon City is small and its roads are not very wide, there are many pedestrians coming and going.

There are especially many people gathered around the job postings.

Some ordinary people and people with special abilities will take on the missions from above, and after completing them, they will exchange them for supplies or contribution points with the base.

Moon City uses a badge system to classify its personnel, which is divided into five levels.

Ordinary civilians all receive white badges, which means that their total contribution points do not exceed two hundred.

When you have more than 200 contribution points, you can get a green level 4 badge; when you have more than 400 points, you can get a red level 3 badge.

The blue badges that Tan Ling and Song Qiming are holding are symbols of a level-two mercenary team, representing that they have at least six hundred contribution points.

Above that is the level one gold badge, which is only available to those with over 800 contribution points or base administrators.

It's easy to imagine how popular Bai Wendong's team was in Moon City; no wonder they dared to travel all the way to the ancient capital to do missions.

Moon City doesn't have as many guards as Dream City. Instead, there are sentry posts set up at certain locations, with only two or three officers on duty at any given time to maintain order in the surrounding area.

Through the guards in charge, they learned that people like them, who routinely maintained the base's security, were collectively known as the guard team.

These sound like management solutions from Dream City.

The lead guard first found a reception room for them to wait a moment, and then informed his superiors.

After a while, he returned and said, "The city lord has other matters to attend to today and is temporarily unable to see you. Let me arrange accommodation for you first."

Miao Yin: "No need to see him. Let's talk about it when the Mengcheng army arrives."

The guard was taken aback: "I'll talk to the city lord about this later. You can come with me first."

As he walked, he explained, "You might not know this since you're new here, but we have a curfew. You can't go out after 8 p.m. unless there are special circumstances. Also, it's forbidden to make too much noise or to use spotlights at night."

"There are guards at the several outposts along the road. If you encounter any disputes, go to them. Fighting is not allowed in the base, let alone murder and robbery."

"Those with superpowers cannot use force to bully others. If you want to train your superpowers, go to a special training ground. The use of lethal superpowers is prohibited in residential areas."

He pointed to a row of houses by the roadside: "Since the mutants were cleared out, these houses are now habitable. However, there are still some traces left by the monsters inside, such as venom or bloodstains. If you encounter anything dangerous, you must report it immediately and not hide it."

"If you want to live in the base long-term, you have to do voluntary labor and help with the construction. However, since you are only staying for a short period, the city lord said that it is not necessary."

About twenty minutes later, they stopped next to a courtyard.

The courtyard appears to have three floors, surrounded by a fence, with some withered flowers and plants inside, as well as an unused clothes rack.

The guard took out the key, opened the door, and then spoke.

“This courtyard was originally the residence of a mercenary team, but a few days ago they went on a mission and were attacked by mutants. In the end, only one team member returned. That person couldn’t take the shock, so he moved to another place.”

"Because it's a courtyard where many people live, it requires a relatively high amount of contribution points. It's usually occupied by teams of superhumans. After they leave, this place becomes vacant, which is perfect for you."

Tan Ling said, "I was thinking that if I had nowhere to stay, I would go back to my old place, but it's been so long, I suppose it's already been vacated by someone else."

The number of houses in Moon City is limited, and if you go out on a mission, you can only keep your original residence for a maximum of one month.

If the homeowner hasn't returned after a month, the neighborhood committee will clear out the personal belongings and move them into a warehouse, then rent them out to the next person.

They originally lived in a suite for four people.

The guard handed the key to Tan Ling: "Everything is here. You can rest now. I won't disturb you any longer. Curfew is approaching soon, so don't go out unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Don't worry, I know the rules here." Tan Ling carefully put away the key.

"By the way, you shouldn't be short of food for the time being, right?"

“We don’t need any,” Miao Yin said.

"That's good. There's a market in the base. If you run out of food, you can go there to check it out. I'll be going now."

The guard nodded to them and left the courtyard.

Tan Ling locked the front door before following them into the house.

The three-story house has a spacious layout, with a living room and kitchen on the first floor, as well as a guest room and a bathroom.

The second floor has three rooms, one of which is a double room.

The third floor has the same layout, but with an additional balcony extending outwards, just enough for all of them to live on.

"I'll sleep in this one downstairs." Tu Hao chose a guest room on the first floor.

"Sister, which one do you choose?" Yan Shuzhou asked.

Miao Yin casually pointed to a single room on the second floor: "That'll do."

“Okay, then I’ll stay on the second floor too.” So Yan Shuzhou moved into the single room next to Miao Yin’s.

Ling and You Wenwen then chose the remaining double rooms.

So the remaining few people filled the third floor, one room per person.

The house looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time; a thin layer of dust covered the furniture.

So the first thing everyone did after moving in was to clean the rooms.

Yan Shuzhou skillfully released the rabbit, which cleaned Miao Yin's and his own rooms spotless, and also tidied up other areas on the first floor.

Miao Yin sat on the sofa, picked up a rabbit, and pinched its perky ears.

Yan Shuzhou brought over a plate of fruit and placed it beside him.

Miao Yin asked, "Your hearing range is now more than 300 meters, isn't it?"

Yan Shuzhou thought to himself, "As expected, my sister knows everything: 'It's already five hundred meters now.'"

As its superpower level increases, the Nine-Tails Rabbit's hearing range also increases.

Miao Yin lowered her eyes and saw the scars on his hands: "These are the injuries you sustained outside the manor?"

Seeing that the other person was paying attention, Yan Shuzhou subconsciously covered the scar on the back of his hand.

"Yes……"

He didn't want to hold Miao Yin back, so he didn't stay idle while at the manor, and would occasionally run out to practice his superpowers.

Of course, it was also inevitably harmed by the mutants, leaving its mark.

"Does it hurt?" Miao Yin asked with concern.

Yan Shuzhou shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, it's been healed for a long time."

He gave her a submissive smile: "I'll be more useful if I become stronger."

Miao Yin stroked the soft hair on his head: "Well done."

Yan Shuzhou was even happier and carried the fruit plate so that Miao Yin could easily take it.

After taking the last bite of the cantaloupe, the house was cleaned up.

At the same moment, all the city lights went out, leaving only a few dim streetlights.

A curfew has been imposed.
