Having anticipated Yu Ningning's reaction, Shen Longcheng gave a wry smile without surprise: "...Sister Ningning, I should have guessed this a long time ago..."
"The situation at that time could only be described as extremely bad."
"Not only are there more and more zombies appearing, and they seem to be becoming increasingly impossible to kill, but mutated plants and animals are also constantly squeezing the survivors' living space. The farmland in the survivor camps is being continuously encroached upon by mutated plants, and every day there are reports of survivors being killed by mutated animals..."
"There were even rumors circulating in the camp at the time that a group of mutated humans had appeared in a more distant survivor base and intended to unite and wipe out all of humanity."
"The widespread dissemination of this rumor has further fueled the deep-seated hatred and fear people already harbor towards mutated plants and animals..."
"As the only mutant in the camp, I became the target of everyone's attacks."
"At that time, I didn't know any of this. I was just like a newborn puppy, whose heart and eyes were full of wanting to cling to its owner. I only had eyes for Ningning every day."
"Even when other high-ranking officials at those bases were banging on the table in meetings, demanding that you execute me to show your resolve to the fearful humans in the bases, you threw a huge tantrum and finally managed to quell the controversy. At that time, I was still crying and wailing, thinking that you came home late today because you liked other puppies and chewed up the house..."
"At that time, I had actually become a burden to you."
Hearing Shen Longcheng's somber tone, Yu Ningning frowned deeply and retorted in a low voice, "...Shen Longcheng, it's not what you think. You've never been a burden..."
"Sister Ningning, are you still going to hide it from me now?" Faced with Ningning's denial, Shen Longcheng only smiled bitterly before saying sadly, "...Yes, after all, with such formidable combat power, I can never be completely described as a burden."
"But my existence is ultimately an obstacle for you."
“Ningning, I know you.”
"Just like you said, you've never been the kind of woman who only cares about love and her mundane daily life."
"Ever since you first showed your personality, you've always been the kind of girl who wanted to be the boss. From the time you grew up until you graduated from police academy, you were always the leader of your school, possessing absolute prestige, reputation, and strength, and a group of followers who genuinely admired you."
"You're enjoying this feeling."
"You are an ambitious woman."
"Since entering the apocalypse, and by chance becoming the first person in charge of a civilian survivor base, your ambition has become impossible to hide. If you didn't have this opportunity, that would be fine, but now that you've taken this position, you can't possibly give it up."
"You need to hold onto this position and do your best."
"You need to balance the relationships between the various factions within the base; you need to soothe the hearts of the people terrified by the mutated plants and animals; you need to control the men who are gradually turning into beasts due to the loss of social order in the apocalypse, and use ruthless methods to teach them to follow the rules; you need to protect the few remaining women in the base, so that they have the courage to give birth and contribute to the growth of the base's population; you need to contribute to the vaccine research of the official survivor base; and you also need to secretly build your own research institute, attempting to discover the evolutionary origins of the mutated plants and animals, and find antibodies that can inhibit the spread of the zombie virus..."
