The four people discussed for more than three hours before finally deciding that Gong father and Song Haoran were responsible for gathering the military forces of province A, collecting as many weapons and military supplies as possible, and finding a suitable location for the military base they would need to build after the apocalypse begun. Gong Xiangyi and Lin Wenbo were responsible for amassing food and daily necessities and doing logistical work for Gong's army.
During the apocalypse, with the ability to protect themselves, the army would be able to clean up the zombies in surrounding areas providing a dangerless zone where others could flee to. In Gong Xiangyi's last life, Gong father had taken control of Province A's military as soon as the apocalypse began; this led to the Gong Family surviving, enabling them to lay the foundation which Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo would rely on to become the hegemons of their group.
Gong Xiangyi was retreading the same path, but this time she also needed to help Gong father form the strongest group in C country so they could establish a independent city-state belonging to the Gong family.
Several people perused the military map before finally selecting a new training on the border of the province to act as a temporary base once the apocalypse struck. The training camp was isolated from the city by a river. If one travelled from the capital, it was necessary to cross a bridge to access the training camp.

As long as the training camp defences were reinforced, together with an outer wall on the other side of the bridge, then the threat of zombie hordes advancing from the city would be eliminated. The bridge pier could also be evacuated if the military was unable to hold the position any longer.
A highway which connected four provinces' borders was situated beside the training camp. There was little traffic due to the surrounding areas being uninhabited. It was the best place to avoid zombies, and the military base could be considered the best when it came to strategical defence.
Eventually, the plan was confirmed. Gong father leaned back on his chair, brows furrowing; worry could be seen on his face. He didn't want any of his daughter's predictions coming true. However, his intuition told him that his daughter's predictions would come true. He wondered what humanity's fate would be once the apocalypse began. Ever since humans became the most dominant species in the food chain, there was nary a person that imagined that they would topple off their throne on top of the food chain, and becoming prey. The mere thought of human blood flowing into rivers and corpses strewn everywhere had Gong father's hair standing on end.
A depressing and suffocating atmosphere pervaded the room as everybody was lost in their thoughts. A long while later, Gong father sighed before leaving Gong Xiangyi's room and locking himself in his study. Song Haoran also had no intention of staying, and did not wait for Gong Xiangyi to leave.
Passing by Gong Lixin's room, Song Haoran noticed the lights were still on through the gap between the door and floor. He stopped to push the door open so he could have a look at the child.
Gong Lixin was curled up on his bed, hugging his knees to his chest whilst staring at his laptop. The laptop was placed on the bed, with the screen facing away from the door, such that Song Haoran was unable to see what was being displayed on the screen. That didn't stop Song Haoran from listening to the screams and roars that were coming from the speakers.
Frowning slightly, he approached the bed to stare at Gong Lixin before moving the laptop so he could see the screen. He whispered, "Lixin, what are you watching? Why is it so bad?"
