ログイン"That's amazing," Ivy muttered.
Before she could say anything else, the system inventory flashed brightly.
A moment later, twenty-four metallic drone cases appeared inside her inventory space.
Without wasting any time, Ivy selected the option to obtain them.
A large reinforced container suddenly appeared on the ground before both her and Darren.
The abrupt appearance startled Darren.
His eyes widened.
"What is that?" he finally asked, unable to
Ivy and Darren soon arrived at the pharmaceutical R&D factory, as directed by the system, only to find the main gate standing wide open.They both got out of the armored vehicle with their guns firmly gripped in their hands, fully prepared to blow off the heads of any monsters they encountered.The building appeared worn and abandoned. Broken glass littered the ground, cracks ran across the walls, and signs of destruction could be seen everywhere."Bark! Bark! Bark!"The illusion dogs barked behind Ivy and Darren, looking fully prepared for battle."You're all ready too, huh?" Ivy asked with a light chuckle as she gently rubbed one of the dogs' heads. "Of course you are.""What's this?" Darren voiced out, his eyes filled with seriousness. "I have a bad feeling about this place. I mean, why is the gate wide open as if we're being expected? And if we are being expected, then where are the monsters we're supposed to be fighting?"Ins
Darren checked through the remaining numbered identity cards, only to discover that Sunny, the dog, was actually assigned Identity Number 001. The other illusion dogs, Ivy's children, and the remaining survivors were all numbered after him."This is surprising," Darren murmured under his breath.He rubbed his eyes and checked the cards again.The results remained unchanged."I can't believe a dog is ranked above me!"After working myself nearly to exhaustion every single day, I've somehow ended up ranked below a dog. But then again, Mrs. Ivy probably knows what she's doing. I'd better go and get some rest for the night. Tomorrow is another day.Shaking his head helplessly, he placed the remaining identity cards back on the table before making his way toward his bunker.---The next two days passed in a blur of construction, planning, and endless work.Hope Base was changing rapidly.Under Ivy's leadership, every survivor had been assigned a specific duty. The once-abandoned villa dist
Ivy and Darren soon returned safely to the bunker. The moment they stepped out of the armored vehicle, both of them hurried inside to check on Lila, Aria, and little Hope.The sight that greeted them immediately eased the tension in Ivy's heart.All three of them were fast asleep.Lila and Aria were sleeping peacefully on the bed while baby Hope lay comfortably beside them, her tiny chest rising and falling rhythmically as she slept.The plates they had used earlier had already been washed and neatly arranged in the kitchen. Even Hope's feeding bottle had been properly cleaned and placed beside the other utensils.A warm smile appeared on Ivy's lips.Everything was peaceful.After making sure that everything was alright, Ivy quietly walked out of the bunker and settled onto a wooden bench beneath the dark night sky.Darren followed behind her and sat down nearby without saying a word.The silence between them was surpris
"Alright, everyone, you can go ahead and eat now," Ivy finally said.The moment those words left her mouth, the survivors immediately rose to their feet and gathered around Mrs. Smith, who was busy serving the food. Excited chatter quickly filled the air."Hope Base!""Hope Base!""Our new home is Hope Base!"The name spread from one survivor to another until everyone was talking about it with bright smiles on their faces.Even Darren and Mr. Smith joined the line and soon received bowls of the giant beast meat soup. The rich aroma drifted through the air, making everyone's stomach rumble with anticipation.Ding!{Congratulations, Host. The Super Lord Function has been unlocked.}{Loading Prosperity Attributes...}{10% increase in resident loyalty unlocked.}{10% increase in base production unlocked.}Nice.A warm smile appeared on Ivy's face as she quietly reviewed the information displayed on the system screen.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith also gathered around Ivy and Darren, both of them curious about what Ivy intended to say next."Before I start..." Ivy began, seriousness etched into her tone as she looked around at everyone present. "Mr. Smith will be responsible for enforcing the rules I'm about to set. He'll be in charge of supervising everyone and making sure things run smoothly. So, can I trust you with that responsibility?""Of course you can, Mrs. Ivy," Mr. Smith replied immediately, his expression firm and determined. "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it without hesitation. You've already saved our lives. The least I can do is help however I can.""Good." Ivy nodded with a satisfied smile. "I'm glad to hear that."Afterward, she turned her attention back to the survivors. Every single one of them had curious expressions on their faces, wondering what rules she was about to announce."So..." Ivy continued, folding her arms across her chest. "The basic rule for e
"What do you mean by that?" Ivy asked, raising an eyebrow, confusion clearly written all over her face.Ding!{You don't need to exchange your cores for points when the factory is already filled with tons of goods. Tons of goods that can feed well over a thousand people for a very long time.}"Really?" Ivy's eyes widened slightly in surprise.Ding!{You didn't realize it because you've been busy fighting monsters. However, despite the fact that you never told me to extract all the goods from the factory, I already did it for you.}A smile immediately appeared on Ivy's face."Oh, nice."Ding!{Three-quarters of your storage space has now been filled with enough food supplies to feed more than a thousand people.}{Would the Host like to see for herself?}"Sure."The moment Ivy agreed, a transparent system interface appeared before her eyes, invisible to everyone else as usual.Various categories
Ten days later....The broadcasts had stopped.And that forced people out.Outside, chaos reigned.The loud growls of monsters echoed through the streets, accompanied by the heavy thudding of their footsteps. Human screams pierced the air as people ran desperately for their lives.Those who had ven
Something struck her shoulder.She stumbled but didn't fall."Damn it!"More objects came.....faster now and she blocked what she could....dodged when possible but many still slipped through her defense.Each hit sent sharp pain shooting through her body.Bang! Bang! Bang!Her arms, back, legs.....
Instead of punching, it suddenly kicked her in the stomach."Ugh!" Ivy gasped sharply.Her eyes widened as the impact hit her abdomen, sending a wave of unbearable pain through her body. For a brief moment, her vision blurred completely.She felt like she had seen something beyond stars.Hell itsel
She delivered a heavy punch straight to the dummy's neck. The impact forced its head to jerk backward violently, but it quickly snapped back into place as if nothing had happened.Although the dummy was made of wood, Ivy didn't feel much pain in her hand when she struck it. Even without gloves, the
