Apocalypse — Chapter 79: Constructing the Outer City Wall

Remembering Chen Yuze’s expression the previous night made Xiao Yi want to laugh aloud.

After loading Su Meilin into the armored vehicle, he returned to the western district and collected the surviving women one by one.

Most were the wives and adult daughters of Crown Prince Gang members. One was Ma Chenbin’s mother.

Most surprisingly, Xiao Yi found a foreign woman.

She was Ma Gang’s mistress, a foreign-language teacher at Jiangcheng’s best high school, and Ma Beili’s mother.

Though in her thirties, she remained exceptionally attractive. Her teacher’s uniform emphasized an explosive figure, and her white blouse looked ready to burst.

After Xiao Yi rescued her, she repeatedly thanked him in awkward Chinese.

More than thirty people were now packed inside the vehicle. There was no room for anyone else.

The harvest had been tremendous: many different women, along with a large stockpile of weapons and ammunition.

Xiao Yi planned to return this group to the City of Sin, construct the Outer City, then come back for the doctors and modification experts.

After returning, he handed the newcomers to Li Wanning and the others for training.

Only then did he sit down to consider the City of Sin’s next stage of development.

“System, display my attributes!”

【City of Sin (Intermediate)】

【City Lord: Xiao Yi】

【Sex: Male】

【Constitution: 100】

【Spirit: 70】

【Strength: 100】

【Stamina: 100】

【Agility: 100】

【Adult male human average: 60】

【Skills: Xingyiquan Mastery】

【Items: Blade of Sin (Intermediate), Spatial Pouch (Beginner)】

【Materials: Bio-Claw ×8, Bio-Demon Whisker ×7】

【Apocalypse Coins: 760】

Apart from Spirit, which remained at seventy, every attribute had reached the human limit.

Burying C-rank zombies could no longer provide upgrades. Xiao Yi now needed B-rank zombies or higher.

He knew nothing about B-rank zombies and had not seen any in the surrounding area.

But since the System recognized such a rank, those zombies certainly existed.

Perhaps they were rare, or perhaps the apocalypse had not lasted long enough for zombies to evolve that far.

“I already have 760 Apocalypse Coins!”

That was enough to construct an Outer City.

Xiao Yi walked to an open area beside the Tombs.

“System, construct a Corpse Storage Room.”

With the city’s population increasing, leaving corpses piled in the open was no longer appropriate. Combined with the human bodies inside the Spatial Pouch, a dedicated storage room had become necessary.

【Corpse Storage Room: Occupies twenty square meters. Corpses stored inside will neither decay nor mutate. Price: 50 Apocalypse Coins.】

【Corpse Storage Room selected. Construction requirements met.】

【50 Apocalypse Coins consumed...】

【Construction in progress...】

【Construction complete!】

As the synthetic voice faded, a two-story structure occupying twenty square meters appeared before him.

Its entrance radiated a cold light, and wisps of white frost drifted through the air.

The temperature dropped to freezing the moment Xiao Yi stepped inside. It resembled an icehouse.

“I could store perishable food here too, but putting it beside corpses...”

Xiao Yi allowed the thought to wander.

After depositing the bodies, he ordered Tang Ningning to lead others in stripping the human corpses of weapons and equipment.

Then he constructed two additional Tombs and upgraded them, along with the two remaining Level 1 Tombs, to Level 2.

His stockpile of C-rank corpses was more than enough for every upgrade.

An Intermediate City of Sin could possess six Tombs. Six Level 2 Tombs would produce Apocalypse Coins at a dramatically higher rate.

After finishing the basic construction, Xiao Yi checked his balance again.

He had 470 Apocalypse Coins left—enough for an Outer City covering 470 square meters.

Xiao Yi leaped onto the City Wall and surveyed the surrounding area.

The nearby women’s dormitory covered slightly more than three hundred square meters. Including a connecting corridor, the total would be just over four hundred.

“System, construct the Outer City Wall!”

His vision transformed into a green grid divided into one-square-meter sections.

Using his mind, Xiao Yi selected the women’s dormitory and a passage connecting it to the City of Sin’s gate, then chose 【Confirm】.

【Outer City construction area selected. Requirements met.】

【456 Apocalypse Coins consumed...】

【Construction in progress...】

A tremendous roar sounded outside the City of Sin. Walls rose from the ground and encircled the women’s dormitory in an instant.

They resembled the former Beginner City Wall. Though not especially sturdy, they were sufficient against ordinary zombies.

Opening the City of Sin’s gate now revealed a protected corridor leading directly to the dormitory.

Xiao Yi inspected the result and was quite satisfied.

The five-story dormitory already contained rooms and every basic necessity, including toilets, showers, beds, and electrical appliances.

Once he moved Lily New City’s solar-power modules and purification equipment here, every facility could operate again.

“A perfect post-apocalyptic harem.”

The corner of Xiao Yi’s mouth rose in satisfaction.

This harem would belong to him alone.

He would be its emperor.

The Outer City was not ready for residents yet. Zombies remained inside the walls, including some locked in dormitory rooms.

Everything had to be cleared and confirmed safe before ordinary servants could move in.

Xiao Yi had no intention of doing that work personally.
