Apocalyptic Villain: Female Leads, Don't Even Think About Running

Ye Zian's hand wandered to Hu Yuting's fluffy tail behind her, playfully toying with it.

Instantly, Hu Yuting's face flushed a bright red, her expression turning shy as she murmured, "Master, the tail feels very ticklish."

Ye Zian was taken aback, not expecting her tail to have such a function. His mischievous thoughts resurfaced:

'It seems I haven't explored the beast-eared girl aspect yet.'

He pulled the blushing Hu Yuting closer once more to continue their training.

At that moment, at the Yanjing base, two senior officers in green military uniforms walked into a bungalow in the front left. This was the highest command center of the Great Summer. They saluted Ouyang Zhen, who sat at the head of the conference table, and reported:

"Report to the Commander, the outer walls of the Yanjing base have been completed. We have currently accommodated 235,741 survivors. Additionally, some soldiers have developed unique abilities after experiencing fever recently."

As he spoke, a flame suddenly appeared in his hand, bright and scorching, causing the temperature in the room to rise sharply.

The officer clenched his fist, and the flame vanished, continuing, "Conservatively, at least 2,000 soldiers in the army have awakened various abilities."

As the elite garrison of the Great Summer, the soldiers within were the best of the best, selected from various units before the apocalypse, thus the percentage of awakened abilities was relatively high.

Another officer handed a document to Ouyang Zhen, who took it and began reading carefully. His previously furrowed brow gradually relaxed. The officer spoke again:

"The Second Army has returned with a large quantity of food and steel from Jisheng Province. It is estimated that it will last the Yanjing base for at least six months. Furthermore, we have been able to research the usage of the cards dropped by the monsters, not only producing higher quality cold weapons but also discovering seeds for crops that surpass our modern civilization. Their growth cycles are at least ten times shorter, with yields doubling."

"Additionally, soldiers have recently discovered red crystal chips in the heads of ordinary zombies, which can enhance the powers of awakened soldiers, but they cannot be used in excess at once."

Upon hearing this report, Ouyang Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After days and nights of intense arrangements and hard work, their efforts had not been in vain; a high-standard mega base was officially established.

Now, they could attempt a counter-offensive against the zombies.

Standing up from his seat, Ouyang Zhen announced:

"Each division will focus on these awakened soldiers to form special operations teams to hunt down high-level mutated zombies. Other units will gradually clear the zombies outside Yanjing City, preparing to reclaim Yanjing City in a month."

All the soldiers present stood tall, saluting and shouting in unison, "We guarantee to complete the mission!"

Back at the loft in the outskirts of Xiacheng fortress,

Ye Zian was attempting to guide Hu Yuting in mastering her transformation ability.

"You can try to concentrate and control your powers, freely using or retracting your abilities."

"Okay, Master, I'll give it a try."

With Ye Zian's guidance, Hu Yuting began to channel her powers to different parts of her body.

In no time, Hu Yuting could fully control her power; as long as she focused, she could freely use her abilities and even control her body's transformation.

Seeing Hu Yuting master her abilities, Ye Zian hinted:

"About what happened today..."

Hu Yuting quickly interjected, "Don't worry, Master, I won't say a word."

This was their little secret, and Hu Yuting had no intention of sharing it with anyone.

Oh, this girl really doesn't get it.

"No, no, what I mean is, you can subtly let others know, so they might come to me like you did."

The battle that had occurred today made it imperative for Ye Zian to find ways to quickly enhance the abilities of all team members.

Now that everyone had lived in the Tower of Heaven for at least ten days, most of them had a favorability rating over 80 toward Ye Zian, and their admiration was just a thin veil away from being revealed.

Hu Yuting was not the first nor would she be the last. It seemed it was time to start a nationwide training plan.

After the training, even if they hadn't awakened abilities, the attributes boosted by the Chaotic Yin-Yang Technique would be comparable to ordinary ability users. Moreover, the technique could also add a layer of spiritual power to weapons and armor, making them not weaker than abilities.

"Ah."

Hu Yuting gasped in surprise at Ye Zian's words, but she quickly understood her Master's intentions.

Pouting, she said, "Then Master, please don't forget about me in the future."

The jealousy on Hu Yuting's face, combined with her fox-like charm, was truly endearing.

Ye Zian pulled Hu Yuting into an embrace, stroking her fluffy ears and teasing her tiny nose, saying:

"Don't worry, the position of the loft's steward belongs only to you. When new people come into the loft, you'll be in charge of arranging their tasks."

After fighting all his life, it was time for Ye Zian to enjoy some comforts.

Looking at the spacious loft, he thought to himself, wouldn't it be great to have ten or eight maids in the future?

If he had to handle small matters like dressing himself, that would be exhausting.

As Ye Zian fantasized about a better future, a familiar mental presence appeared outside the fortress.

It was his second uncle, Ye Er.

With Su Chen dead, Ye Zian's previous orders for Ye Er were considered complete.

Seeing Ye Zian getting up, Hu Yuting, sensing the situation, carefully helped him adjust his clothing.

"Good job. In the future, if anything is lacking in this loft, you can go to the warehouse and get it under my name."

Under the moonlight and stars, in the ruins outside the fortress, Ye Er, transformed into a mutated Night Demon, stood atop the rubble, looking lost and unsure of where to go.

He returned to the vicinity of the fortress.

With a pale complexion, Ye Er saw Ye Zian emerge from the fortress and uttered, "Su Chen, dead, mission completed."

It seemed Ye Er understood the news of Su Chen's death and had come to report back.

"Next, you will gather zombies in the urban area of Xiacheng and look for traces of the Empire of the East."

Although Ye Er was not a psychic zombie, being an S-Class mutated zombie, he could indeed command thousands of zombies to search for people.

Ye Er looked at Ye Zian with confusion, clearly not fully grasping the command.

Seeing Ye Er's expression, Ye Zian realized he needed to clarify.

With a wave of his mental power, he entered Ye Er's mind, projecting a frenzied and bloodthirsty chaotic consciousness. Any ordinary person would be instantly overwhelmed by this bloodthirsty awareness.

Ye Zian carefully used his mental power to reiterate the command in Ye Er's mind.

Ye Er seemed to understand Ye Zian's directive and spread his wings, flying toward the urban area of Xiacheng.

Watching Ye Er depart, Ye Zian murmured to himself:

"It seems I need to find an item in the system mall that allows me to communicate with my second uncle."

Ye Zian contemplated this plan in his heart; if he could control Ye Er, the difficulties in intelligence gathering would dramatically decrease.
