Chapter 181 - 6.41 Third Green Star - Just Another Day
The problems in authority with the Hope Base had been stabilized. Now aside from Cao Junye and Ximen Xueya no one else is able to issue orders. If there are some requests for mission or help, the others have to meet the management team that works under the two leaders.
Most of the time it was Cao Junye who took the lead in most things but he never forgot to ask his wife's permission for some things, especially problems related to the laboratory and warehouses.
Ever since they've arrived in the base, they solve most common issues like problems with food. The criminal rate had also decreased when Cao Junye sent out laws to restrain certain things. Human trafficking and experiment are forbidden.
Breaking this rule equates to death penalty without question. Though there are some brothels in the base this is something everyone had asked the leaders for. But this facility is clearly under strict observation. The workers and staff are all filtered and signed contracts. Their background was checked. Only those women and ordinary people who really had no means of fighting would be hired.
The customers had to be fully registered as well. They were also tasked to sign a contract stating that the things between two parties must be consensual and no hints of forcing. Breaking this rule will lead to being punished.
No ability users are allowed to use their powers inside the brothel building. When they're caught doing so certain punishments would be bestowed as well. Instead of just calling this facility a brothel it is more like a luxurious host and cabaret mixed club instead.
There are some schools made as well. The teachers were mostly elderlies who could no longer do heavy work. There are separate buildings for kindergarten, elementary and high school. For those in the high school department, there is extracurricular which teaches children how to control their gained abilities.
Teach them combat and defense techniques. There are even a few lessons which teach the weakness of zombies and mutated animals. All in all the humans started adapting to the new world they have right now.

Somewhere in District A.
A district used to be the second largest city after the capital. The humans who used to leave in here used to be greater than that in the capital. This place after the world end had become the real hell. Because the population in this district is so abundant, the number of zombies were greater than in other districts as well.
Right now in this district only a huge mansion was made. There are some small houses surrounding houses around it. What is frightening is that just beyond the mansion and the houses area, countless zombies were standing in lines like soldiers. They were all like puppets without strings yet left hanging in the same place for days.
The population of these zombies were beyond millions. There are so many that the whole district A could only be called Zombie land instead. At the huge mansion at the center, a man with purple hair and black eyes stood at the mansion's veranda looking at the vast horizon of A District.
With the land in front of the mansion is full of zombies no one would wish how to fight this many man eatinf monster. Not just their number is frightening enough therenare some level 3 to level 5 zombies within the group. It's terrifying knowing that these zombies were all under someone's command.
At the mansion at the center of the district, just in front of the house, four high level zombies with intelligence are kneeling in front of the man standing at then veranda. These four zombies' strength was not bad. Their levels ranges from 6-8 this is why they have enough intelligence to know who is the strongest among their kind and whom to listen to.
The zombies of this world had two rulers. One is a king and the other is a queen. The zombie queen is a lady with a cutesy appearance. Long amber colored with violet highlights paired with eyes of dull grey shade. This zombie queen is called Hei Suya.
Her abilities are rare as she was not an original resident of this world. She could control the blood element and space element. This is her original ability.
Meanwhile the Zombie King had auburn shaded hair but his eyes were pitch black in color. Like the zombie queen his abilities were his original skills before they entered the world. If Hei Suya could control attributes of blood and space then, Ye Yan is able to control the elements of fire and darkness.
Zombie King Ye Yan was enjoying the scenery under the moonlight coming from the full moon. The clouds tonight cast shadows looming over earth as it approached the moon.
"Bee, what do you think we should be doing next?" asked Ye Yan.
A bee the size of an adult's hand hovers around the zombie king.
[Answering to the host. The host level had already reached level 9, almost reaching 10. When the host finally reached level 13, the host would be able to use Zombie King's coercion to lead all zombies in this country and start the war against the humans.
The host's vessel should be able to reach level 13 after conquering all the districts from B to Y. The mission target is residing in Z District but in this Z District this world's beloved son is staying as well.
Since according to the plot, the Zombie King and Zombie Queen with level 10 were killed by the heavenly son, as long the host surpasses the level of 10 this world's world plot would be completely broken.]
Ye Yan murmured, "My current level is still not enough, hah. Bee, if I reached a level higher from the original plot would the restrictions in this vessel disappears.?"
[Yes, host. As long as the host reached a level above ten, the world wouldn't be able to restrict your original existence as a God. Is the host planning to kill the target using your real abilities?]
"That was the plan. I needed to be able to use my real strength to complete the mission. This Hit Mission gives me chills as if those annoying elders from Hei Clan were hiding something from me.
Moreover the boss' knowing smile before I took my leave. Remembering it makes me uncomfortable for some reason.
Bee, gather me with information about all the important characters in this world."
[Affirmative. Bee had accepted the task to gather information about the characters of this world.]
The system with the honey bee avatar had taken his leave to complete the mission his host had given. It was at this time that the Zombie Queen Hei Suya had come over to where Zombie King Ye Yan was.
Her casual yet flirty voice resounded in the area as she spoke with the latter. "Gege, have you decided what to do next?"
"Gather a quarter of all the zombies under our command. We will be visiting District B to E tomorrow." answered Ye Yan.
Hei Suya asked, "What will be the plan for tomorrow?"
"Kill all the surviving humans or other living creatures." replied Ye Yan coldly.
Hei Suya, who just heard about their task for tomorrow, smiled. She was truly excited about the bloodbath tomorrow.

Meanwhile the next morning, Cao Junye is enjoying breakfast with his wife and son. They were having pancakes for their meals. There are even cereals and fruits as extras. Together with them on the table are Zhi Yue, Lou Lan, Baize and Xu Lin.
Early in the morning Wang Lei had dropped by the main office to check for some problems during his morning exercise.
Everyone is busy eating when he returns to the mansion followed by two people. It is Shi Moye and Yun Suisen. It seems they wanted to report something to the leaders.
Dining area, Ximen Xueya was busy feeding his little baby when Wang Lei returned home.
Wang Lei who is covered in sweat after his run only comes over after taking a shower, "General, Major Shi and Mr. Yun had come over. They said they had something to report."
"We will meet them after breakfast." replied to Wang Lei as his seriousness instantly disappears when he looks at his wife seating beside him. "Baby, here I cut the pancakes to bite size. I will feed you while you feed Chi-chan. Ah~" said Cao Junye as he fed Ximen Xueya.
There's not much reaction from Xueya and his face remains the same as before. But he still opens his mouth and eats the food his husband is giving him.
Chino's cuddly voice was suddenly heard in the room. He tries to mimic his father and cut the pancakes on his table. But he could hardly cut a piece and just jabbed his small fork directly to the pancake.
The little bun Chino had always sat in between his parents during meal time. Everyone watched at the little bun. You jabbed the whole pancake with his small fork and placed it near his father's mouth. In that instant Chino's hands were covered in butter and honey as his small fork could really support such a big pancake.
"Father, Chino feed you~ Daddy will Chino and father will feed daddy~ Open your mouth father. AHH~~"
Ximen Xueya frowns a bit seeing the dripping honey on his son's hand.
"My love, eat it already. The honey and butter are about to stroll down our son's elbows." said Xueya.
The family took turns into feeding.
Cao Junye did as his wife had said and ate the pancake with a few big bites. Afterwards he took the wet towel the old butler had prepared by the side.
"Our little bun looks a bit sticky. Honey covered little bun." said Cao Junye as he pinched his son's chubby cheeks after cleaning up his hand covered in honey.
There's an obvious smile on both Cao Junye and Ximen Xueya. In the face of others this kind of scene is like a beautiful scenery of a perfect and happy family. Everyone who was at the table with them couldn't help but smile. Normally this kind of scene is very rare during the apocalypse.
By the corner Baize is helping his host stir his cereal who was looking so haggard at the table. Xu Lin had been working on the base greenhouses for a few days now. He is so tired walking around that Baize had to carry him on his back on their way home.
"So tired~ I'm still so sleepy~" said Xu Lin.
Baize who just finished stirring the cereals gave his host a spoon to feed himself.
"Eat your food first. You can continue sleeping for a day after eating your meal. We have a day off today."
"Day off!? Really? ~~" the groggy Xu Lin suddenly bounced back as if he was no longer sleepy.
"Yes. Eat your food. I'll accompany you in your nap later." replied Baize.
"Okay~~"
On the other side of the table, Lou Lan had quietly prepared Wang Lei's breakfast as the latter sat beside him.
Lou Lan asked, "Eat breakfast. Don't you dare skip it again. You didn't eat dinner last night after working overtime."
"Honey, I ate dinner last night." wanted to retort by Wang Lei.
Lou Lan gave him a glare and said, "Noodles cannot be considered as a meal. It can only be considered as midnight snacks especially when eaten at night! Eat your breakfast else I won't let you go to work!"
"I... I'll eat. I'm eating now. Honey~ don't be angry anymore." said Wang Lei who tried to coax his lover but Lou Lan ignored him even when Wang Lei hugged him by his waist.
Watching these scenes of couples spreading dog food, only the single Zhi Yue and the old butler watched the scene in silence.
The old man even said to Zhi Yue, "Son... How about you? When are you going to bring back a partner?"
Choke! Cough... Cough!
Zhi Yue choked on his food when he heard such a question from the old butler. Uncle Wu even helped him pat his back to calm his choking. But the former didn't give any answer to the old butler's question.
Within Zhi Yue's mind, complaints and curses were running all over in his head.
'[Who are you calling son!? This system is a few hundred years older than your old man!!?'
The group enjoyed their breakfast and only met their guests after eating their breakfast. After the meal, Baize and Xu Lin return to their room and continue sleeping. Lou Lan and Wang Lei had made preparations to resume their duties.
Lou Lan was teleported by Ximen Xueya with Uncle Wu to Ximen Mountain while Wang Lei followed his general and the general's wife to see the guests.
