Li Chenxi saw a bit of her former self in the little girl.
She generously gave her a set of advice, but whether she heeds it or even sees it is up to her own fate.
After sending the message, Li Chenxi began her physical training at the base.
She aimed to get her physical fitness back to its peak in the next few days.
As she started her training, a voice sounded in her mind:
“Ding—Super Lord System activated.”
“Limited time of ten days! Rewards for improving combat effectiveness!”
“Final rewards will be rated based on completion level!”
Li Chenxi: “!!!”
Already engaged in training, this announcement motivated her even more.
She was determined to achieve a 100% completion reward!
“Roar, roar, roar!”
Li Chenxi began intense military-style physical training in her bunker.
“……”
“Three hundred fifty-four.”
“Three hundred fifty-five!”
“Three hundred fifty-six!”
“……”
“Three hundred sixty!”
Li Chenxi, drenched in sweat, completed three hundred sixty sets of physical training.
By the time she finished the last plank, she felt as if her entire body was about to fall apart.
She had no strength left.
Her body was completely drained.
But even as she was drained, she could clearly feel her limits being broken repeatedly.
She was improving, getting stronger.
This routine was taught to her by Xu Shaoyang, her most loyal subordinate at the base.
He had been a soldier. After the apocalypse began, he came to A City for rescue but was abandoned during the operation. His companions either died or scattered, leaving him as the sole survivor who fled to the Earth Base where Li Chenxi rescued him.
He was always taciturn, disliked talking, and was focused solely on execution. He was Li Chenxi's most crucial blade.
Many teams wanted to recruit him, but he refused. It seems that soldiers are often extremely loyal.
Once they pledge allegiance to someone, they do not betray easily.
Later, he sacrificed himself in front of Li Chenxi during a zombie siege.
After finishing her physical training, Li Chenxi reflected on past events. However, her path had changed, and she would no longer encounter people and events from her previous life.
One must be content. In this life, she had Summer, and that was enough!
She dragged her exhausted body to take a shower, steamed a pot of rice with a rice cooker, heated ten self-heating meals in the microwave, and fried five fragrant eggs.
After her shower, Li Chenxi covered all the dishes with rice, opened a bottle of cola, and ate in front of the computer with the rice cooker in her lap.
With such high consumption, she needed to eat a lot!
She had ample supplies and sustainable production of eggs, chicken, and fish—she could eat whatever she wanted!
As she was about to look for a movie to watch on the computer, she saw several new messages on the reply page of her previous post.
“I followed your advice and made it through the least populated back garden of our neighborhood. I didn't encounter any zombies!”
“I have successfully reached the convenience store. I took out three people along the way; it was terrifying! But luckily, there were no people in the store!”
“I've packed a bag of supplies! I'm heading back now! Thanks, Brother Shengxia!”
Li Chenxi noticed the term "Brother Shengxia" and chuckled.
Her username was Shengxia, so they must have mistaken her for a man.
She thought for a moment, then went to the private message section and replied.
"Don't go home! Block the convenience store door and stay in the small employee storage room inside the store!"
This place has water and food, and the location of the convenience store is generally good.
The zombie virus outbreak occurred in the early morning, and the zombies on the streets may seem numerous, but they're actually not.
In the apocalypse, it's more dangerous to be among people than to face zombies.
Block the convenience store's main entrance, hide in the narrow storage room, where there's food and drink, and you'll be among the first to be evacuated when rescue vehicles arrive!
It's the residential areas filled with people that are truly dangerous!
There are many lurking zombies in the corners of residential neighborhoods. If people start coming out to look for supplies, the neighborhood will face a massive zombie crisis.
Escaping and avoiding crowds is the safest option!
But Li Chenxi's warning went unanswered.
Maybe she made it back home safely, or maybe she died on the way.
She didn't check further.
Finding a relaxing movie, she ate while watching.
She also downloaded movies, TV shows, and novels to enjoy later.
These were her side dishes for the meal.
After eating, Li Chenxi digested her food, took Summer for a walk, checked her base surroundings, and looked after her chickens, ducks, vegetables, and sheep.
She continued with her training after returning.
The training lasted until late at night, and she was utterly exhausted when she went to rest.
The next morning.
Upon waking up and starting her physical training, she clearly felt her strength and endurance had improved.
Her muscles were sore all over, but she gritted her teeth and finished her training before taking a shower and cooking.
She prepared another large bowl of rice, but today's meal included roasted chicken and a military-style hot pot.
These were food supplies she had scavenged from a large supermarket.
Stored in her space, they had not gone bad.
Adding some water, turning on the electricity, and the hot pot cooked a large pot of food.
Beef slices, shrimp, various beef balls, chicken balls, fish balls, a variety of mushrooms like enoki, oyster, and shiitake mushrooms, along with many vegetables.
It was a pot meant for four people.
Li Chenxi ate it all by herself.
Plus, she had several fragrant fried eggs!
These eggs were freshly laid from her chicken coop!
She had checked this morning, and her chickens laid about 20 eggs a day!
She couldn't eat all the eggs, so she kept them in the coop to hatch chicks. Later, when she had more supplies, she would store them in the warehouse!
After a hearty meal, she slowly drank a bottle of charcoal-burned yogurt to help with digestion.
She would need to do more training later to burn off the food!
At this time, who could be as well-off as Li Chenxi!
While others were going hungry, she had to exercise just to digest her food!
She turned off the movie she was watching halfway through because it was uninteresting and went back to browsing the forum. She found that her posts from yesterday had exploded in popularity.
In just one day, her posts had garnered over ten thousand likes, and many people were calling her a big shot and asking for more advice.
Some even wondered if she was a related professional, given how detailed her knowledge was.
Li Chenxi paid no attention to this.
She only noticed that the original poster, a girl named Qingqing, had replied to her.
“Brother Shengxia, I made it home safely. Thank you!”
Li Chenxi raised an eyebrow upon reading this.
So she decided to go back after all.
Li Chenxi didn't reply. She saw that the girl had just posted a new update.
“Today is the fourth day of the apocalypse…”
