Post-Apocalyptic America: Synthetic 3D Female Protagonist

His footsteps sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet space, as if striking the taut nerves of Caroline Tina and Marie Laurent.

The two of them held their breath as they watched him walk by as if no one else was around, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding facilities.

Tina's palms were already sweating, and Mary's frail body behind her was trembling slightly.

Su Hui finally sat down on the sofa in the living room area of ​​the shelter, leaning back in his chair, but his gaze was fixed on the two women as if it were a physical object.

He didn't speak immediately; his silence itself was a form of invisible pressure.

The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became a cautious exercise.

Tina's chest rose and fell slightly as she forced herself to calm down; fear wouldn't solve anything.

She took a small step forward, her voice slightly hoarse, but she tried to keep it steady.

"gentlemen…"

"We don't know who you are, or what you want."

"This shelter is our last refuge."

"We can share the supplies inside with you. There is enough food and water to last a long time."

“We can even share this shelter.”

“We just want to survive. With the strength you’ve shown, we pose no threat to you whatsoever.”

Tina spoke slowly, trying to express her utmost sincerity, even with a hint of pleading, hoping that the other party would accept this proposal of "peaceful coexistence".

Mary frowned, her small hands gripping Tina's clothes tightly as she warily observed Su Hui. She was furious with the robber, but dared not show it.

Upon hearing this, Su Hui's lips curled into a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

"Sit down and talk, you don't have to stand."

He waved to the sofa opposite him, his composed demeanor suggesting that he was the master of this underground shelter.

Tina and Mary exchanged a glance, feeling uneasy, but still sat down on the edge of the opposite sofa as instructed, their bodies ramrod straight.

"Peaceful coexistence?"

Su Hui waited until the two of them sat down before speaking.

He repeated the word in a gentle tone, but it made the two women's hearts, which had just settled, jump into their throats instantly.

“Miss Tina, it seems you don’t understand the world as it is now.”

"In the apocalypse, there is no peace, only the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive."

His gaze swept over Tina, then over Mary, who was visibly tense and curled up.

"The weak either seek refuge with the strong, or..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the chill emanating from that unfinished thought was even more intense than the air conditioning in the shelter.

"There is only death."

Su Hui's tone was calm, as if he were stating a very simple fact, but it made Tina feel a chill of despair.

"You guys hiding here should be able to guess what it's like outside, right?"

"Zombies, mutants, and..."

He paused, his eyes growing deep. "The human heart is more terrifying than those things."

"A combat coach and a cute young lady."

Su Hui's gaze returned to the two of them, his scrutiny undisguised. "Do you think you can survive in this cannibalistic world on your own for long?"

Su Hui's words were like a cold knife, piercing Tina's heart with precision.

She knew Su Hui was telling the truth; this was the stark reality of the apocalypse.

The only way out is to attach yourself to the strong.

And he was clearly the "strong one".

As Su Hui scrutinized them, completely shattering their illusions, a system notification quietly surfaced deep within his consciousness.

[Target for scanning: Karoly Tina]

[Potential Assessment: S-level]

[Compatible Template: Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy vii)]

[Crafting Requirements: Source Energy Gauntlets (Rare), Tifa Armor Set (Special Dimensional Dyeing Material), Source Crystal (Large) x5]

[Target for scanning: Mary Rolland]

[Potential Assessment: Grade A]

[Mary Rose Template]

[Crafting Requirements: Gothic Set (Special Dimension Dyeing Material), Source Energy Gauntlets (Rare Grade), Source Crystal (Large) x3]

[Complete Synthesis Requirement: Source Crystal (Large) x3]

Two highly promising candidates—they're really lucky.

Tina, with her S-class potential, is a perfect match for the fighting goddess Tifa; they are almost the perfect melee combat template.

Mary, with her A-level potential, is also suited to the Source Energy Gauntlets and the Russian military combat style "Systema," a continuous and dazzling array of attack techniques.

Just as Su Hui was checking the two people's details, Tina's face turned pale, and she was struggling internally.

Their safety until now is largely due to luck, plus the fact that this shelter is well-hidden and sturdy.

But the supplies in the shelter will eventually run out.

When that time comes, how will those two girls face the cruel apocalypse outside? Their fate will probably be worse than death.

Tina bit her lip; she was not one to give up easily and possessed a resilient personality.

She raised her head, meeting Su Hui's scrutinizing gaze. Her eyes hardened, and she asked Su Hui, "So, how do you intend to treat us?"

Reason told her that the man in front of her was terrifyingly strong, and that resistance would only lead to her death.

The image of the other party crushing the gun barrel with their bare hands is still vivid in my mind.

She must protect Mary.

But if he intends to forcibly possess them, then even death or futile efforts will suffice!

She also wanted to try to leave an indelible scar on the other person!

Su Hui saw through Tina's thoughts, and knowing Tifa's personality, he naturally believed that the girl in front of him had the same qualities.

He did not make a direct threat, but instead gave the other party a choice.

"You have all witnessed my power. Now, I will give you a chance to gain extraordinary power."

"Are you willing to hide in this underground shelter, living in fear like rats with limited supplies, until one day you run out of everything and have to face the outside world in despair?"

"I still want to gain power, to be able to slay those monsters with my own hands, to take my destiny into my own hands, and to be able to walk freely in the sunlight, even if that sunlight shines on a wasteland?"

Su Hui's words carried a strange allure, like the whispers of a demon.

strength…

free…

These two words struck Tina and Mary hard.

Who doesn't want power?

Who doesn't want freedom?

Especially in this damn apocalypse!

Tina's breathing quickened, and an uncontrollable longing flashed in her eyes.

Mary couldn't help but lean forward, her voice trembling with a hint of unbelievable anticipation.

"Are you... are you telling the truth?"

"We...we can become as strong as you?"

Su Hui nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

"As long as you prove your worth and... are loyal to me."

His gaze was calm and profound, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Upon receiving confirmation, Tina felt a complex mix of emotions.

There was anticipation for the future, trepidation about the unknown, and deep fear of the man before her.

She glanced at Mary beside her, who was equally excited and uneasy, bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind.

An unnatural blush rose on her cheeks, and she lowered her head slightly, her voice barely audible yet exceptionally clear.

"Sir...I...I am willing to submit to you."

"But...Mary is still young...Could...could you not force her..."

Tina's voice grew softer and softer, her cheeks flushed redder, and she barely dared to look Su Hui in the eye.

"If you need...if you need someone to serve you...I can...I can take her place..."

Upon hearing this, Mary's eyes widened immediately, and she tugged at Tina sharply.

"Sister Tina! What are you saying!"

Her small body blocked Tina's way, glaring at Su Hui with a mixture of anger and anxiety.

Although his voice was still trembling, it carried a stubbornness of protecting his principles.

"You're not allowed to bully Tina!"

"I...I can work too! And if...if anyone needs to be served, it's me! I'm the young lady, I know better how to serve people!"

The little girl seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of her words, and was simply instinctively defending Tina.

Tina was both embarrassed and anxious, and quickly grabbed Mary.

“Mary! Don’t talk nonsense!”

Looking at the somewhat comical yet sincere scene before him, a strange look flashed in Su Hui's eyes.

He does need subordinates and needs to build his own power base.

The two girls in front of me have great potential and are excellent candidates for training.

As for using force to possess their bodies, Su Hui would never stoop to doing such a thing!

He believed that with his strength and charm, he would truly win them over in their interactions.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in forcing anyone. Of course..."

Su Hui leaned back on the sofa, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest, a smile playing on his lips. "If you yourselves are willing, that's another matter."

His gaze swept over the two figures, one large and one small, dressed in pajamas, each with their own unique features, with a pure appreciation rather than lust.

"Now, tell me your choice."

"Will you stay in this shelter that could turn into a grave at any moment and pray for good luck, or come with me to see a wider, more dangerous, but infinitely possible new world?"

Just as Su Hui was asking Tina and Mary for their choice.

On the other side of the hillside in Beverly Hills, there stands another mansion.

The villa was brightly lit, yet it was filled with an eerie and decaying atmosphere that was completely different from Su Hui's place.

The air in the spacious living room was so heavy it felt like it was about to drip molten lead.

Several white men collapsed to their knees, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They were the same few remaining members of the KKK who had previously intercepted Su Hui in a pickup truck and narrowly escaped with their lives.

Before them, a massive figure cast a deep shadow, almost swallowing the entire sofa area.

He was a burly man whose physique was almost deformed.

He was shirtless, his bronze skin revealing bulging muscles that radiated explosive power, yet appeared disproportionate, as if they were about to burst through his skin at any moment.

What's even more unsettling is that his bulging muscles are covered with countless dark purple veins that writhe slowly like living creatures, constantly contracting and expanding, emitting an ominous, dark glow.

The burly man's massive, twisted body sank deep into the luxurious leather sofa, the sofa frame groaning under its strain.
