Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

"I'm sorry, living beings cannot be reinforced," the voice of the system rang in her head.

Su Ling had already guessed that living beings couldn't be reinforced because if even living beings could be reinforced, her system would be too overpowered.

In fact, the ability to continuously reinforce the endurance and impact resistance of buildings was already incredibly powerful, but she didn't know when the next upgrade would be.

Also, would the reinforcing power of the buildings increase after the upgrade?

Su Ling sat on the sofa, lost in thought. Across from her, Sheng Hongye's gentle snoring could be heard.

It had been over a month since the fall of Donghai to the fall of Lizhou.

During this month, Sheng Hongye hardly ever got a good night's sleep. Now, he couldn't hold on any longer.

The others were the same; as soon as their heads touched the ground, they fell asleep.

For a while, snores echoed one after another.

Su Ling was infected by the drowsiness too and couldn't help but yawn.

At this moment, a sudden sound of footsteps came from outside the door. In the silent night, the footsteps outside the window sounded unusually clear.

Su Ling picked up the baseball bat that Sheng Hongye had placed on the coffee table and cautiously went to the window.

The footsteps stopped at the doorway.

Someone whispered, "Brother An, this is an abandoned resort. There definitely won't be anyone inside."

Wei Zixuan cursed, then whispered, "Damn it, since there's no one and no zombies, why are we still sitting outside doing nothing? Let's quickly find a house to sleep in."

People around him knew that his woman had been taken by someone else, and he must be in a bad mood. In order to avoid getting beaten up, they immediately agreed, "Brother An, whatever you say, we'll do. You pick a house, and I'll follow you."

Su Ling heard it clearly, and her heart immediately tensed up.

If Wei Zixuan dared to come in, she would definitely knock him out with the baseball bat.

Then, footsteps were heard, seemingly walking in the yard where Su Ling was.

Su Ling tightened her grip on the bat, but then she heard the sound of a door opening, and Wei Zixuan chose the neighboring house.

Su Ling breathed a sigh of relief, she could always count on him to be rational.

Just as she had relaxed, a woman's scream suddenly came from upstairs.

"Ah! A mouse!"

The adjacent door banged open, and Wei Zixuan's voice came again.

"Sh*t, there's someone next door."

Sheng Hongye and the others were also awakened and immediately rushed downstairs.

At that moment, the door was kicked open.

Wei Zixuan reached for the light switch at the door, but before he could do anything, a dark figure flashed in and kicked him to the ground.

Another person saw Wei Zixuan on the ground and immediately fell to his knees.

"Don't kill me! I'm just a follower."

Then, the lights were turned on.

Seeing Su Ling standing elegantly by the sofa, holding her shoulders, Wei Zixuan's expression was as if he had eaten sh*t, and he cursed.

"Bitch, you're here too."

Su Ling walked gracefully to Wei Zixuan and kicked him in the chin.

"You're about to die, and you still dare to curse."

At that moment, Li Xueying also ran downstairs and saw the two men sprawled on the floor. She screamed again.

"Brother Ye, who are they?"

Su Ling really wished she had a needle in her hand so that she could immediately sew this woman's mouth shut.

Sheng Hongye immediately turned and gave her a stern look. "Shut up."

Then, he gestured to Er Lei. "Shen Laohe is here too, so be careful."

Er Lei understood and ran out with the other two.

Just as they reached the entrance, the sound of a car engine was heard. After searching all the rooms, they only caught a disheveled woman.

The woman was forcefully brought into the room and seated on the floor. It turned out to be Su Ling's stepsister, Su Rou.

Seeing Wei Zixuan beside her, Su Rou immediately lost control and rushed towards him, delivering a flurry of slaps.

"You, surname Wei, are you still a f*cking human? Just for a car, you handed me over to Shen Laohe. You're even worse than a f*cking beast!"

Feeling the pain from the slaps, Wei Zixuan also became furious.

He grabbed Su Rou's hair and pressed her firmly to the ground.

"You still have the f*cking nerve to blame me? Wasn't it you, this bitch, who seduced Shen Laohe? I still want to choke you to death."

As Su Rou was choked, her eyes rolled back. Finally, she noticed Su Ling standing nearby and immediately waved for her help.

However, Su Ling remained indifferent and had no intention of saving her.

Both of them are like dogs biting each other, barking incessantly, not showing any redeeming qualities. Thinking of those two having sex made Su Ling's gaze grow even colder.

Unexpectedly, Li Xueying, this green tea, suddenly decided to interfere and shouted at Er Lei and the others, "You bunch of big men, are you just going to watch a woman being bullied? Hurry up and help her, or else she'll really be choked to death."¹Green tea refers to a person who presents themselves as innocent, pure, or virtuous, but in reality, they might be manipulative, fake, or have hidden intentions. It's often used to describe someone who acts one way in public but behaves differently in private, especially when it comes to relationships or social interactions. The term suggests that just like green tea might seem refreshing and pure but can have underlying bitterness, the person may have a facade that conceals their true nature.

Er Lei quickly rushed forward and kicked Wei Zixuan away. Su Rou gasped for breath and clung to Sheng Hongye's leg, pleading, "Mr. Sheng, please save me. Shen Laohe has already run away. If I stay with Wei Zixuan again, he will definitely kill me."

Impatiently, Sheng Hongye withdrew his leg and turned his gaze to Su Ling.

"Miss Su, what do you want to do?"

At this moment, Su Ling glanced at Li Xueying and suddenly changed her mind.

Instead of enduring Li Xueying, this green tea bitch all the time, she might as well find another green tea to deal with her. Fight fire with fire.

With that thought in mind, Su Ling smiled faintly at Sheng Hongye.

"I have no objections. Since Miss Li wants to save her, let her stay."

Sheng Hongye turned to Wei Zixuan.

"What about him? How do you plan to deal with him?"

Seeing that Sheng Hongye kept asking her, Su Ling felt pleased. It was like he was indirectly acknowledging her status.

With her unadorned, pure face lifted slightly, she smiled at Sheng Hongye.

"Just make sure I don't see him again. As for the rest, Mr. Sheng, it's up to you."

Sensing that his situation was grim, Wei Zixuan started cursing again.

"Su Ling, you treacherous bitch! You won't have a good ending."

Er Lei delivered another kick and kicked him out of the door.

Soon, Wei Zixuan's voice disappeared.

The man who came in with him was so scared that he trembled and quickly crawled in front of Su Ling.

"Mrs. Sheng, I don't want to die. Please, spare me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xueying, with a livid face, walked up to him and pointed at his nose, saying, "Open your eyes wide and see clearly. Mr. Sheng hasn't married yet. If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll have them cut off your tongue."

"That's enough."

Sheng Hongye coldly reprimanded, then asked the man, "What's the situation in Lizhou now? Why did you and Shen Laohe leave Lizhou?"

The man tearfully explained, "The community has been taken over by zombies. I don't know why, but the zombies started attacking the base during the day, and everyone else died. We were the only ones who managed to escape."

After hearing the man's detailed description, Sheng Hongye turned his gaze to Su Ling.

Could it be that she had predicted everything correctly?
