Seeing the clock hanging on the wall, Chen Ruoxue quickly got up to tidy her clothes, her cheeks flushing as she looked at the mess of clothing on the floor.

Although there was no task to perform today, the members of Team A still needed to be in the training room by 9 AM. As the captain, her tardiness would affect the morale of the team.

Ye Zian understood this and did not stop Chen Ruoxue, allowing her to leave on her own.

In contrast to Chen Ruoxue's sense of responsibility, Anna, as a former mercenary, instilled in her team the mindset that everything depended on their own efforts to gain strength.

Thus, whether the members of Team B trained depended entirely on their self-discipline. However, Anna implemented a last-place elimination system, where the three lowest performers would compete with reserve members wanting to join the search team. The winners would enter, while the losers would be eliminated from Team B.

"Boss, shall we continue?" Anna asked, wrapping her arms around Ye Zian's neck.

Ye Zian couldn't help but swallow hard, staring at the two ample mounds before him, and nodded vigorously.

After a hard life in his previous life, he felt he deserved to enjoy himself in this one.

...

Everything in the fortress was proceeding smoothly. With a large number of electronic products brought back by Ye Zian, Zhao Wanrong instructed the support team to immediately start building an internal local area network.

By connecting via cables, the administrative and warehouse teams could store data on computers, allowing for real-time viewing and updates.

This way, after spending some time inputting the residents' information, any team member redeeming supplies from the warehouse would only need to provide their identification number and name to quickly know their remaining points and past redemption records.

The inventory of the warehouse would also be clear.

Ye Zian nodded in satisfaction as he left the warehouse overseen by Liu Qinghuan.

Not far away, in an open field, a petite and energetic girl was bending over in the rice paddies, tending to the young rice plants that had sprouted from the seeds planted yesterday.

These seedlings were eagerly absorbing energy from the air and would mature in just three days.

Ye Zian recognized her as Li Jue, the deputy leader of the support team.

"Hello, city lord."

Upon seeing Ye Zian arrive, Li Jue immediately stopped her work and came to his side.

Her small figure flitted over to Ye Zian like a butterfly.

In her excitement, she forgot her place and eagerly tugged at Ye Zian's sleeve, looking up at him with sparkling eyes, asking,

"City lord, where did these seeds come from? It's truly amazing!"

As an agriculture major, she had no resistance to such miraculous crops.

The thought that seeds could yield 4000 pounds of rice per acre in just three days was something she had never believed possible.

It wasn't until she saw the young plants thriving this morning that she realized, as Minister Zhao Wanrong had said, it was indeed true.

If such rice seeds had existed before the apocalypse, there wouldn't have been anyone suffering from hunger.

Realizing she had gotten a bit too excited, Li Jue quickly released Ye Zian's sleeve, though it had already picked up some dirt.

"City city city... city lord, I didn't mean to."

The memory of the unfortunate incident from a few days ago flashed in Li Jue's mind, causing her to stutter and tremble slightly.

Ye Zian gently flicked her nose and reassured her,

"It's alright; just wash the clothes. It's a small matter. As long as it poses no threat to the fortress, I'm quite easy to get along with."

Li Jue was surprised by Ye Zian's easygoing attitude. Looking at his handsome face, she felt her cheeks flush.

Ye Zian brushed the dirt off his sleeve casually, saying,

"These seeds came from cards dropped by monsters; they belong to a technology that doesn't originate from Earth."

Hearing that Ye Zian wasn't upset with her, Li Jue felt relieved.

"Seeing how serious you are, from now on, you will be the leader of the agriculture team, and these people will be your team members."

After saying that, Ye Zian did not linger and headed to the logistics department to find Zhao Wanrong.

Behind him, Li Jue's eyes glistened with tears; feeling acknowledged by Ye Zian filled her with a sense of camaraderie.

She silently resolved to work hard and repay the city lord for his recognition.

As Ye Zian walked through the administrative team, everyone nodded in greeting.

Ye Zian responded and went straight to the office of the logistics minister.

Zhao Wanrong was wearing a fitted sky-blue qipao today, her curvaceous figure on display, and she had put on some exquisite makeup, making her look more elegant and stunning.

Papers from various teams and groups were piled up on Zhao Wanrong's desk, causing her some headaches.

Although the fortress had been established by Ye Zian, many systems and future plans needed her personal touch to improve. While Ye Zian, as the city lord, focused mainly on combat, all the logistical details were left to Zhao Wanrong.

Fortunately, she had been the final decision-maker in the Ye Group before the apocalypse, so she managed the chaos without becoming flustered.

However, now, in this apocalyptic world, with the production of various supplies halted, the nearly empty fortress urgently needed a large population to fill various positions.

Seeing Zhao Wanrong frowning in concentration, Ye Zian quietly approached from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist.

He understood that Zhao Wanrong's concerns still stemmed from their previous identities; expecting her to take the initiative was unrealistic, so he had to break through her defenses himself.

Tomorrow, he would lead a team to Xucheng University to gather female survivors, and he didn't know how long it would take. He needed to use the Chaos Yin-Yang Technique to solidify Zhao Wanrong's favorability, to avoid unnecessary complications later.

After all, it was better to have the meat in the bowl than to leave it uncertain.

Lost in thought, Zhao Wanrong was startled by Ye Zian's sudden embrace, glancing down at her waist.

From the hands around her waist, she could tell they belonged to Ye Zian.

With an expressionless face, she struggled slightly but then gave up.

After a night of contemplation, Zhao Wanrong had somewhat resigned herself to the situation. Yes, in this apocalypse, what was there to worry about? She no longer resisted Ye Zian's advances, realizing that aside from that one step, she had already permitted him many liberties.

Seeing Zhao Wanrong stop resisting, Ye Zian felt a surge of confidence that he would finally get what he wanted today. He gently said, "What's bothering you, Wanrong? Are you regretting anything since yesterday?"

Zhao Wanrong shot him a glance and picked up a plan sheet from the table, pointing to the text on it, saying,

"It's still about the number of residents. There are over 200 residents in the fortress now, which is somewhat insufficient, and the disparity in strength is quite significant."
