There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Chapter 42

Zixu sanctuary was very big. Near him was a large field of flowers, in the distance were overlapping mountains, to the left of the fields was a winding brook and to its right was an exquisite two-storey bamboo house. A yard lined with bamboo fences in front of the house and to the back was a large bamboo forest.

He bent down and picked up an unknown flower, rubbing it between his fingers and wetting his hand with the flower's water. A light fragrance of the plants wafted quietly. He didn't know if he imagined it, but he felt his mind cleared up a lot from smelling the sweet scent. He walked to the bamboo house and pushed open the wooden fence, when he reached the house he tried pushing the door but couldn't get it to open.

[The host has insufficient authority. The mountain abode is closed and cannot be entered for a while.]

"...." His mouth twisted and he took back his hand. Suddenly he thought of a problem, "When you took me inside, aren't the people outside scared to death?"

[The sanctuary is linked with the soul and can be entered using the spirit.]

He felt reassured. He walked to the small river by the flower field and checked his reflection on the water. Short black hair, dark brown eyes, straight nose, thin lips that tilted upwards.... Sure enough, still as handsome as his original self!

After basking in this appearance for a while he sent himself out. He opened his eyes to the sight of the freight train again. No one in the car noticed anything abnormal going on in this corner, he shifted his posture and continued pulling out story data from the system, reading it through.

Xu Yi's awakened a support type ability, so in the early days of the apocalypse he had some difficulties getting by. Xu Yi did not have it easier until he came across male lead number one, his senior Qiu Xiangyu, and formed a small team. Qiu Xiangyu had the metal ability and he was originally a university student studying computer science, he had both the brain and the brawn. The strength of their team was not too bad.

However, good times don't last for long. After a month of peaceful days, the small team made a lapse of judgement, they entered a mountain resort packed with zombies and were brutally besieged. Qiu Xiangyu got injured when protecting Xu Yi and couldn't run. The rest of the team abandoned them because of that.

Xu Yi was angry but couldn't do anything, he could only carry the injured Qiu Xiangyu on his back and hide in one cabin in the resort. He slowly treated him with his weak healing at that time.

The two endured by depending on the food from the space as they nursed their wounds. The silver lining is that both of their abilities went up a grade, their strength sharply rose and after their wounds healed they both broke out from the encirclement. They ran into male lead number two, Wei Xu, who was stranded in the resort like them.

The three quickly teamed up. They successfully escaped and headed to H city's Annan base as per Wei Xu's suggestion. He said he had some connections there and they would be able to ask about their family's whereabouts. Xu Yi and Qiu Xiangyu talked it over before quickly agreeing.

The three of them reached the base half a month later and Wei Xu immediately took them to the base's leader, Liu Tao. Only then did the two of them realised Wei Xu's status was not so simple.

Liu Tao received them with great warmth. He arranged for rooms to stay in, gave them some supplies and even personally took them on a tour around the base. The three were very satisfied with the base's environment and decided to stay there for the time being.

With his strength, Wei Xu quickly had his own small quad in the base. Once when he went out to gather supplies with his squad he found a hidden arsenal, which made him the biggest leader in the base aside from the base leader himself. Xu Yi was generously provided for by Wei Xu and Qiu Xiangyu with he zombie's crystal cores and he upgraded his ability level. He soon became an indispensable part of the team.
