After all, the rescue teams broadcasted by the radio don't rush directly to wherever you are. Instead, they provide a single rescue route!

They broadcast several relatively safe areas for residents to gather, and the rescue teams will pick them up as they pass through those areas!

It's quite dangerous, indeed!

Especially when the Li family realized that the rescue points were quite far from them, they were extremely resistant.

What if something goes wrong on the way? With the elderly and pregnant women among them, what could they do?

Li Chenxi persuaded them with reason, advising them not to seek short-term comfort. Going to the rescue point would ensure their safety. There would be state-provided food, and Li Nanying's wife could give birth, while the elderly like Li's grandmother would have a safe place to live.

Most importantly, Li Chenxi suspected that this wave of rescue would not last.

They needed to take the opportunity now, or they might be left behind and no one would want them later!

After much discussion, the Li family decided to follow Li Chenxi's advice and leave with all their supplies.

In fact, all of Li Chenxi's predictions were correct.

They ended up catching the last and only wave of rescue!

Subsequent city rescues were abandoned!

There were too many zombies, and the area couldn't be secured. Only one group could be rescued, and a safe zone was established as a base!

The base, as a gathering place for humans to fight against zombies, became the trend in the later stages!

This was the fourth stage of the apocalypse, the era of base civilization.

Joining the base early was extremely fortunate. Not only did they get free supplies in the early stages, but also free housing. Later arrivals would have to provide all their belongings and find their own place to settle!

The later one joined, the worse it got!

It could be said that Li Chenxi was always on the right path.

However, the only mistake she made was treating the Li family as her own.

She put her heart and soul into planning for them, only to be kicked out by them to fend off the zombies!

Li Chenxi realized the harsh truth when she was kicked out.

One must learn to truly love oneself and grow up.

One should never crave things that do not belong to her.

The so-called family was always her delusion!

After barely surviving in the sea of corpses and blood, Li Chenxi ended up in another base, and her mindset completely changed.

She no longer needed love or to be loved; she became utterly cold-blooded and rebellious at her core.

In the fifth stage of the apocalypse—the era of supernatural powers.

She became the only captain of a self-defense team without any supernatural abilities.

She established her place among a group of superhumans as an ordinary person, even leading her team to be number one for years!

Everyone knew that if Li Chenxi had any supernatural powers, not only would the self-defense team be hers, but perhaps the entire base could be hers!

Her strength lay in herself!

However, in the later stages, the conflict between humans and zombies became increasingly difficult, with separate bases becoming a chaotic mess. In densely populated areas, conspiracies and schemes were rampant, and Li Chenxi sacrificed herself during a zombie siege at her base.

“I don't want to think about it. Anyway, I'm never going to another base.”

Li Chenxi rubbed her temples.

She recovered from the memories of her past life.

The bases that emerged from fragmentation were not a respite for humans. In the early stages, there were no regulations, and everything grew wildly. Such places were not a paradise for ordinary people but rather a survival of the fittest!

Only a few bases allowed people to live relatively peacefully.

Li Chenxi had also gained her reputation in the base by being ruthless, which allowed her to become someone others dared not provoke.

Without ruthlessness, survival there was impossible.

"This is my base!"

She looked at the air raid shelter she had built, her eyes shining brightly.

She intended to make her base stronger and stronger.

She wanted to turn it into her true steel fortress!

She glanced at the other stations to confirm that all signals were interrupted and there was no useful information before she got up to reinforce her base!

She remembered that her base reinforcement reward period had not ended yet!

Li Chenxi, having eaten and drunk her fill, took Summer to her vegetable garden.

She marked out an area and used a pile of branches and dead wood she had collected recently to build a simple chicken and duck pen.

Once the pen was built, she waved her hand.

All the chickens and ducks she had bought earlier went inside.

She also set up a separate sheep pen and put two lambs inside.

“Ding——Farm animals detected: chickens, ducks, and sheep.”

“Reward——Farm animals’ reproduction and health have reached maximum! No diseases ever!”

Li Chenxi: “!!!”

She saw a hen walk over and lay a steaming egg right in front of her!

What a reliable golden leg!

Keep going!

Li Chenxi found an empty spot in the orchard area, mainly looking at the water source location. She chose a spot close to her well and at a lower elevation, and started digging a pond.

Digging a pond is a physical job.

She dug all day by herself and finally created a pond of moderate size.

When the pond was emptied, she dug a water channel from below her well. Once the channel was opened, the water flowed in immediately.

After the pond was filled, she threw fish and shrimp into it.

To prevent the shrimp from being eaten by the fish, she separated the pond into two sections.

Fish and shrimp were raised separately.

“Ding——Fish pond and shrimp pond detected!”

“Reward——Fish and shrimp reproduction and health have reached maximum! No diseases ever!”

Li Chenxi had been quite worried since raising fish and shrimp requires certain skills!

She was concerned she might not manage it well.

Unexpectedly, the system arranged it all for her!

Having a powerful system is great!

She only needed to keep moving forward, while the system handled the rest!

After arranging her chickens, sheep, fish, and shrimp, Li Chenxi took the time to further reinforce her base.

In her previous life, she was a squad leader in the self-defense team, so she was quite skilled in base construction and security.

Her basic defenses were already set up with high-voltage electric fences, razor wire, large iron gates, and basic air raid shelter defenses. Now she needed some offensive facilities as well.

She couldn't handle large offensive facilities, but digging simple traps was no problem!

She had Summer watch the house while she started setting up traps 500 meters outside the iron fence in the forest.

If someone came, entering the traps would be a sign.

Let them get out quickly!

Li Chenxi spent a whole day digging ten traps.

She considered most of the paths that people could use to enter.

They were all placed along the most likely routes.

Once she finished digging the traps, she heard a sound in her mind.

“Ding——Traps detected: *10”

“Reward——Trap attack power increased by a hundred times!”

Before Li Chenxi could rejoice, another voice sounded.

“Ding——Basic base defense completed!”

“Starting rating——”
