Obviously, this game doesn't allow me to cheat. The buried zombies quickly crawled out of the ground.

The NPCs continue to resist the zombies, while I try to help them fend off the attacks.

Although it's effective, my health bar is useless. It only takes a few hits before I'm scratched to pieces.

Fortunately, a new turning point appears. The guards have successfully unlocked their abilities—one with wind powers and the other with fire powers.

When they combine their powers, it's like a whirlwind of fire. They can dry out a zombie in just ten minutes.

Everyone in the base is immersed in the joy of defeating the zombies and protecting their new home, especially because of the incredible strength of the ability users.

I saw Jiang Yufeng's avatar approach me and pick up the "me" character slowly regenerating in the corner.

"I'm sorry for causing you such heavy injuries."

System: [Jiang Yufeng's trust level has increased to fifty percent.]

It seems like some hidden plot has been triggered...

But I'm quite indifferent. After not finding the "save" button for a while, I simply ignore him and go find something to eat.

When I come back, I see a cutscene on the screen. Jiang Shaojiang's face is no longer a blurry puppet face but a very realistic male model face.

It's a face that exists somewhere between CGI and real life—realistic, yet unbelievably good-looking.

I see Jiang Shaojiang sewing up the body of "me" with a needle and thread. On his stern and serious face, there's a hint of a mature man's charm.

He hasn't taken the ability potion yet. Is there some condition I need to fulfill in this plot?

"Jiang Shaojiang, why haven't you taken the potion?"

"I'm sorry, I'm a soldier. My duty is to protect my country and its people. I can't prioritize myself, so I'm unfit for this position."

Jiang Yufeng's character setting is really dumb and pure.

It's fine. I'll blow some righteous hot air without caring about appearances.

"In the current apocalypse, everyone's ultimate wish is to pass on the torch of humanity. Our goal is for this base and for all of humanity."

[Jiang Yufeng's trust level has increased to sixty percent.]

I continue, "Everything I ask of you is only for the better realization of our goals.

So, are you willing to believe in the future I plan and unconditionally obey all my commands?"

Jiang Shaojiang's gaze instantly becomes firm, and his trust level rises to 75% at that moment.

"I understand. Please give me the first task, whatever it may be."

Anything goes, really?

Then...

"Take a look at your abs."
