Jiang Zhiyi, as a rapid-transmigration tasker, works diligently every day, playing the role of a sacrificial character, but the male protagonist seems to be getting more and more abnormal.

"I won't eat it."
Jiang Zhiyi pushed the bowl aside, looking unhappy.
"Then let's withdraw."
Huo Linchuan immediately ordered everyone to remove all the items.
Jiang Zhiyi was even more dissatisfied; he no longer coaxed her to eat.
"Hmph!" Jiang Zhiyi ran straight into the room, and the door slammed shut behind her.
Huo Linchuan seemed not to hear him, nor did he rush after him to comfort him as usual.
"Let's go, time for the mission." He strode away.
The people around watched this scene in silence, each with their own calculations.
This is not the first time something like this has happened.
Since bringing Jiang Zhiyi back last time, Huo Linchuan has clearly stopped spoiling her as much as before.
Many people find it strange that Huo Linchuan should care about Jiang Zhiyi a lot.
Otherwise, why would he expend so much energy and spare no expense to find the person?
But this is the reality they are facing now.
Perhaps, Jiang Zhiyi is really going to be rejected by Huo Linchuan.
It makes sense. In this terrifying apocalyptic world where survival is a daily struggle, even the strongest affection for such a spoiled and willful woman would gradually fade away over time.
Is it really possible for human love to last forever?
Everyone has their own answer in their heart.
Inside the room.
"Tuantuan, the male lead seems to be getting impatient with me."
Jiang Zhiyi also noticed this change.
Huo Linchuan used to be really... energetic, and he would mess with her every few days.
But recently, apart from the day she returned, he hasn't touched her again.
Sometimes he would refuse when she tried to kiss him.
He is avoiding intimacy.
[Master, according to the plot development, the current progress is fine. From now on, you just need to keep causing trouble.]
"learn."
...
Because of recent events, Jiang Feng and Jiang Yue once again tried to win over Huo Linchuan.
Huo Linchuan's superpowers can be said to be among the best of all the superpowered individuals they have ever seen.
“We don’t want you to merge with us; perhaps we can continue to cooperate. With the help of the Changfeng and Changyue bases, things will definitely be much better along the way.”
"Last time you lost nearly a third of your men. If this continues, how many of you do you think will be left after we reach City A?"
Jiang Yue's words hit the nail on the head, striking at the heart of the matter.
"Also, you need to know that the base in City A may not accept you. The situation is complicated right now, and they are very strict in their screening and vetting of outsiders."
"We can give you a guarantee now: as long as you agree to cooperate with us, we will solve this problem for you."
Huo Linchuan pondered carefully.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law, we won't hide it from you. Our old man has two sons in City A, who are our half-brothers."
"But there are only so many positions for the successor of the superhuman base, so we really need your help."
The two brothers worked together seamlessly, one negotiating terms and the other building connections.
"I need you to provide these resources."
Huo Linchuan handed over a long list.
The two brothers took it and examined it, then discussed it for a while.
"no problem."
"Another point is that you cannot interfere with any of my decisions. Except when necessary, we will maintain our distance in all other actions."
"Captain Huo, this is getting a bit rusty," Jiang Yue frowned.
Huo Linchuan did not answer. He understood that sometimes getting too close could lead to being swallowed up, so he had to eliminate this risk.
Seeing Huo Linchuan's resolute attitude, the two brothers had no choice but to compromise.
"Alright, then it's a pleasure to work together."
...
"Why do we have to take the road through the mine? I'm not going that way, I want to go to the city center," Jiang Zhiyi said, clearly dissatisfied.
"There might be a lot of zombies in the city center."
"I don't care, I just don't want to go to the mines, the conditions there are so bad."
Huo Linchuan tilted his head slightly and gazed at her with calm eyes. "This was decided long ago."
"I don't want to! Then I won't go, you go alone!"
Huo Linchuan looked at her with a stern face and didn't say anything.
A while later.
"You have to leave whether you want to or not. Tell me what you want now, and I'll get it for you. Once you're in the mine, you'll have nothing left."
"I don't want anything!" Jiang Zhiyi threw a cup at him.
Huo Linchuan dodged to the side, but a small cut was still accidentally made on his forehead.
The cup fell to the ground, shards scattering everywhere.
"Captain Huo, didn't your wife give you a list before? Just prepare according to that list."
Seeing the two arguing like this, Feng Kun immediately stepped in to smooth things over.
"Let's go." Huo Linchuan led his team out.
Jiang Zhiyi remained seated, too angry to move an inch.
She felt that everyone's eyes were on her.
"What are you looking at!" she snapped fiercely.
...
Changfeng Garrison.
Since they reached a cooperation agreement with Huo Linchuan, their temporary base locations have generally been chosen not far from Huo Linchuan's camp.
This time, they will also be going along.
With nothing else to do, Jiang Zhiyi had someone bring her over to complain to Jiang Feng and the others.
She complained, "I really don't want to work in the mines. Could you suggest we change it? Can you handle it?"
Jiang Zhiyi knew very well that the two young masters in front of her were not very good at enduring hardship; sometimes she felt that they were even more pampered than she was.
Jiang Feng shook his head. "There is another way, but it is indeed more dangerous. Besides, my brother-in-law has already made his decision, so there's nothing we can say."
"I heard you and your brother-in-law have been arguing a lot lately?"
They had also heard rumors that the affair between the two had become quite a big deal.
"It's alright," Jiang Zhiyi replied casually.
Jiang Yue teased her with a pink plush toy, "Why are you so delicate? If you need anything later, just tell us."
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head; she wouldn't lack anything.
Huo Linchuan always made sure to provide her with everything she needed, whether she could think of it or not.
"Alright, working in the mines won't tire you out. Want to play a couple of rounds?" Jiang Yue asked her.
"Come on, I'm going to win all your crystal cores today."
They called over a few more people, and the group played cards at the base until evening.
It was getting late, so for safety reasons, Jiang Yue drove his modified car to take Jiang Zhiyi home.
Upon arriving at the camp, Jiang Yue saw Huo Linchuan standing at the main gate waiting for someone.
The car door opened, and Huo Linchuan saw that Jiang Zhiyi was already asleep in the back seat. He simply carried her out of the car.
"This is troublesome."
"Of course," Jiang Yue replied politely.
Huo Linchuan carried the person and prepared to go inside.
Jiang Yue looked at the scene before him, a dark light flashing in his eyes.
"Huo Linchuan".
He suddenly shouted.
He usually followed Jiang Feng's lead and called him "brother-in-law" smoothly, but today he suddenly didn't want to do it anymore.
Jiang Yue could even faintly sense a certain excitement emanating from the depths of his heart.
His voice lacked its usual nonchalance—"If you don't want her anymore, why don't you give her to me?"
Huo Linchuan paused, staring at him expressionlessly.
Their eyes met.
