Everyone was on high alert, their nerves taut.

The morning breeze caressed my face, and the heavy, salty smell in the air grew stronger, mixed with an unbearable stench.

Han Hongguang and his men stood guard on the high wall, gripping the magnetic energy cannon tightly in their hands, ready to meet this unprecedented species invasion at any moment.

"Lu Sheng".

Xiao Ning sat leisurely in the sun lounger and called out with a smile.

"Hmm?" Lu Sheng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

"Be careful, I'll be heartbroken if you die," Xiao Ning said with a relaxed expression and a sincere smile.

Lu Sheng raised her head, raising an eyebrow slightly, "What if I really die? What will you do?"

Xiao Ning still had that nonchalant smile on his face. "Is that even a question? Of course, the first thing to do is loot the corpses! Space-type characters drop supplies when they die."

The people present: "..."

Zhang Xiaojuan and the little mud figures were practicing military boxing in unison, when she glanced at Xiao Ning with a look of disdain. "Brother, couldn't you at least pretend?"

Brother, you really dare to say that!

They're already planning how to scavenge corpses and loot supplies even before the person is dead.

Xiao Ning leaned back lazily in her chair, making no attempt to hide her true feelings.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely send you away before I die." Lu Sheng smiled brightly and raised her hand to make a neck-grabbing gesture.

She knew that Xiao Ning, that bastard, had absolutely no loyalty.

Xiao Ning willingly wore the collar only because she was strong enough to carve out a path through the chaos of the apocalypse and ensure that those around her could live a life free from want.

This kind of person has no moral compass; they're just looking for companions because they can't stand being alone. They're like a young male lion in a pride, always waiting to take over. Once the lion king is injured or shows weakness, they'll bite the leader to death and seize control of the pride.

Such people are useful tools, but not true friends.

If she were ever on the verge of death, she would kill Xiao Ning immediately to prevent others from becoming a threat.

At this moment, as dawn broke, tens of thousands of mutated zombie species swept in, like bulldozers from a demolition team, leveling everything in their path.

Lu Sheng took a bite of the sweet, crisp apple and calmly looked into the distance while holding the infrared binoculars.

The monsters are about to enter the area affected by the potato mines.

boom!

With a loud bang, the aroma of burnt potatoes mixed with the stench of spoiled shrimp and crab wafted over.

Explosions continued to erupt in waves within the minefield, and in the firelight, the figures of enormous creatures writhing in agony could be seen everywhere.

Those enormous fused monsters crawled helplessly in a pressure cooker, their crab claws, fins, and other parts scattering everywhere with the sound of explosions.

They advanced relentlessly towards humanity's last line of defense, determined to destroy all obstacles in their path.

After traversing a minefield several dozen meters long, only half of the soldiers and generals were able to reach the city walls.

Seeing the horde of monsters charging menacingly, Han Hongguang led his men to quickly concentrate their firepower. Magnetic cannons bombarded the monster horde relentlessly, leaving charred limbs and remains scattered everywhere beneath the high wall.

Everyone vented their pent-up emotions, releasing all their grievances through the gunfire.

They abandoned all fancy superpowers, leaving only the simple mechanical act of pulling the trigger.

The continuous artillery fire echoed all day long until the sky turned red with clouds, at which point the surging invasion of marine life gradually subsided.

Beneath the high walls, ripe fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish were piled up like mountains, and the air was filled with the aroma of boiled shrimp.

Exhausted, everyone collapsed on the ground, looked at each other, and couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

They won! Finally, humanity has reclaimed its position at the top of the food chain!

"Thanks to Sister Lu, if it weren't for Sister Lu bringing people and weapons, we would definitely be dead here today!" Xue Ming lay sprawled on the ground, scurrying over to Han Hongguang like a silkworm.

Thanks to the potato mines Lu Sheng set up, and these lightweight but powerful magnetic cannons.

An invasion of this scale is something that even all the coastal bases combined wouldn't be able to withstand. If it weren't for Lu Sheng, they would be lying here today, completely helpless!

Everyone was immersed in the immense joy of surviving the disaster.

Lu Sheng was also very happy.

The brothers spent the whole day killing small fry and crabs on the front lines, and the system's loot rewards kept popping up all day long.

The space was filled with all sorts of strange and wonderful rewards, and for the first time, she felt that the space was a bit cramped...

[Congratulations, host, on completing the bestiary of creatures killed in the apocalypse.]

Lu Sheng was happily taking stock of the supplies when a familiar electronic voice suddenly rang out.

The system then displayed an interface similar to game achievements.

[Award: Post-Apocalyptic Survival Expert Title]

[Achievement reward: Host's existing points doubled!]

The rewards system shop has been upgraded, and you can now purchase more high-quality items. (Non-green mode is available.)

Lu Sheng: "..."

She's like a community director, not only having to worry about the environment but also maintaining everyone's happiness index.

But if the points can be doubled again, it means that we are one step closer to getting the zombie virus removal agent!
