I Branch Out in the Apocalypse

The apocalypse comes suddenly.

Zhang Lin is trapped at home, and food is about to run out.

A system suddenly appears!

Marrying and having children will grant generous rewards.

...

Chapter 157 The Inspiration from the Strong and the Eldest Daughter

“My extraordinary template is called ‘Dominator’, and I have five abilities…” Zhang Lin did not hide anything and gave a general account of his situation. Of course, due to his personality, even though he trusted the city lord very much, he did not go into too much detail because Jin Sina was there.

"Zhang Lin, you have the potential to become humanity's savior and end the cycle of reincarnation again and again!" After hearing this, the city lord praised him excitedly.

Zhang Lin felt quite excited after hearing this.

But Jin Sina and Xia Xiaonuan didn't feel anything.

The city lord had already said this to them...

The following time was filled with tedious and boring waiting.

The catapult robot in the warehouse was still continuously throwing golden gems.

Is its energy limitless?

The day passed quickly, and as night fell, Zhang Lin listened to the sound of stones hitting the glass inside the warehouse and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Of course, anything in the mysterious powerhouse's warehouse is a treasure. Even a toy robot is incredibly mysterious. The world has cycled through so many times, and I've been here so many times, yet its energy has never run out!" The city lord said with reverence, "I suspect that the robot's energy is limitless!"

Zhang Lin started to think about it.

Unlimited energy...

It sounds a bit like a pistol with unlimited bullets.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he silently asked in his mind, "System, this place...it doesn't have anything to do with you, does it?"

"Sorry, this system and this place do not have the kind of relationship the host imagines!"

"oh……"

Zhang Lin nodded silently.

Suddenly, a clear, crisp sound rang out.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaonuan immediately leaped into the air, and something else flew out of the window. She had just witnessed the power of Zhang Lin's advanced template and was already very tempted by the golden gem. However, when she caught the gem that flew out, she found that it was just a purple gem.

"Here you go." Xia Xiaonuan tossed the purple gem to the city lord.

She knew Zhang Lin didn't lack this thing, so she simply gave it to the city lord. She still had feelings for her old leader.

"Hmm." The city lord accepted the purple gem, feeling somewhat relieved, realizing that Xia Xiaonuan wasn't the type to prioritize romance over friendship...

Zhang Lin's eyelids twitched as he watched. He glared at Xia Xiaonuan, thinking, "That spendthrift woman! It costs five prosperity points to exchange for one in the system, and she just gave it away like that..."

The next two days passed quickly.

I don't know if it was bad luck or what, but I didn't get any more gold gems, but I did get quite a few purple gems.

In fact, no matter how much stuff a powerful person has in their warehouse, it can't withstand the city lord's constant exploitation. After one cycle after another, the gems in the warehouse are already running out.

Before they arrived, even the city lord wasn't sure if they could get the golden gem.

So when Zhang Lin asked what the reward would be, she didn't dare to give a guarantee and could only say: I don't know.

The city lord was already quite satisfied with the acquisition of a single golden gem.

Zhang Lin didn't really care. Getting one was like earning 50 prosperity points. If Xia Xiaonuan wanted one later, he could just exchange it for her from the system. After all, one Jin Sina was worth 91 points. After exploring some other targets, prosperity points would be much easier to earn than before.

"We need to keep an eye on Qiao Ruoxi when we get back. We can't tell from her temperament and health, but in the three aspects of appearance, she should score at least fifty points..."

As Zhang Lin walked out along the bluestone path of the small courtyard, he thought to himself.

But the city lord did not go out with him.

After arriving at the courtyard gate, the city lord went inside.

She's going to back up her consciousness.

The vessel for her backup consciousness is her lifeblood, so she only backs it up by herself. She won't let Zhang Lin or Xia Xiaonuan know what the vessel for her backup consciousness is.

The city lord skillfully navigated the maze of buildings until he reached the backyard, where there was another room. Looking through the window, he could see that it was an e-sports room.

The computer screen was filled with downloaded games. Based on these games, the city lord could deduce that this powerful figure must be from the same era as himself.

Because these games were all popular before the apocalypse.

"Unfortunately, I hadn't awakened my current extraordinary template during the era when such powerful beings existed, and my memories don't contain specific information about this powerful individual..."

The city lord shook her head regretfully, then stood outside the window and skillfully used her ability to back up her consciousness into light waves, projecting them into the room from outside the window. Finally, the light waves entered the computer, where her consciousness was backed up. When the world restarts, her consciousness will return to her body before the apocalypse and be reborn.

After backing up his consciousness, the city lord returned along the same route. As he passed the warehouse, the windows were still rattling, and the catapult robots were still diligently working.

The city lord walked to the window and ordered, "Stop working!"

If she doesn't give the order, the robot will continue working for several more hours before finally stopping its projection; she has never given the order to stop before.

If you're lucky, you might be able to find a few purple gems on the ground the next time you come back.

But this time the city lord won't do that.

Some items were missing from the warehouse, and she suspected that someone else had come here. Without issuing a stop order, someone else might have gotten their hands on the gems thrown by the robot…

At her command, the sound of stones smashing against the glass inside the house stopped.

The city lord turned to leave.

But suddenly, a sharp whistling sound rang out.

She reacted quickly, without even turning her body, the mechanical arm reversed behind her and caught the flying object directly.

Then, as she moved her arm forward, her expression changed instantly.

"It's not a gemstone..."

The catapult robot can only throw stones of the appropriate size.

What she received was a folded piece of paper.

"Is this a revelation given to me by a powerful figure or the eldest daughter?"

Her small, fleshy hand trembled with excitement as she tried to open the paper, but the shaking was so severe that she handed it to the robotic arm.

The paper is opened.

The size of an A4 sheet of paper.

It's a graffiti.

The screen is divided into two parts.

On the left is a cartoonish man, very tall, with abstract features, but the city lord can tell he's smiling. There's nothing beside him except a little girl with cartoonish features and an expressionless face. The city lord can sense a sense of sadness just by looking at her.

"The powerful man and his eldest daughter!"

The city lord murmured excitedly.

Then, she looked to the other side.

On this side, the protagonist is also that man.

However, the little girl was no longer by the man's side. Instead, there were miniature figures standing behind him. These figures had no discernible body shape or facial features, only blurry human forms.

In the lower right corner of the graffiti, there is also a line of small text—
