Ling Song's Pov.

During my one-week stay at the base, I discovered that most people had chosen to join an organization, while most of the women had opted to work on the crops and tend to the animals. We could say that one-fifth were in the guild, two-fifths in the White Fangs—since many non-gifted individuals also decided to learn how to survive outside in the purgatory—one-fifth worked at the base, not only feeding animals and cultivating crops but also as teachers and maids, some even working at the bar. The remaining one-fifth were mostly children and teenagers studying at the academy. Only those who had reached the age of sixteen could begin gaining experience outside the base.

I was surprised by how well this base was functioning after just one year. Wu Dong and the others had done an amazing job. And I couldn't believe I was the one who had made this possible—well, credit also goes to the goddess, Damian, and the money I had.

As for the others, He Kang had grown taller. I had some doubts and asked Damian a few questions. In the end, I discovered that my body had remained the same as the day I fell asleep, since no nutrition equals no growth... of course. I'd love to burn this book, but I still need it.

Liu Yan has grown a little, though she doesn't talk much, but she's been doing well since we helped her maintain her health a year ago.

The fact that Kwan Tao likes Sun Xuejian still shocks me, but they have a good relationship.

I'm quite disappointed in Zhou Feng. In my past life, his guild had a cool name, but in this life, it's F.t.L... a stupid name, which stands for "Fuck this Life." But his guild is already very powerful, unlike the Sinners and the new unnamed organization, which I'm sure is Yang Yifei's. I pity Hu Qiang, who has to work with him, but they worked together even in my past life.

Liu Huan and Hu Zhi are part of the Blue Rose guild, and they say it's a crazy guild full of women who are good to other women but treat men as garbage. The only males allowed in the guild are lost children or sons of members.

Sun Xuejian is progressing with the project of creating weapons that can kill zombies using the small meteors. In my past life, he created them four years into the apocalypse. He has the help of other researchers they found and also some students who are pursuing careers in science, so they mostly follow Sun Xuejian around in his lab.

Chen Xu works at the base, but she will soon go to a military base with He Kwok. While he roams as a normal soldier, Chen Xu will roam as a secretary; well, she first needs to secure that position. But it wouldn't be hard for her; she's a cunning woman.

Kwan Tao spends most of his time at the base, but he's become the postman for our group. For example, when Zhou Feng doesn't want to take care of little He Kang for a while, Kwan Tao takes the kid and brings him to the base. Or when He Kwok needs to pass an item to Wu Dong, he goes in secret to the military base to see He Kwok. Since he's not part of any guild or has a specific job, he's quite handy.

I was now in my mansion talking with Zhou Feng and He Kwok about the new group that is starting to create chaos in the government's life. I told them to write down the places and what they did on a paper so I could have a hint where to find them. Unfortunately, they were good at hiding, so none of my comrades ever found their hideout.

"Do you need a ride to the nearest city?" He Kwok asked me as we all stood up after ending our meeting. I found out that Yang Yifei hadn't done much yet; he must have just discovered what the government does to normal people, turning them into guinea pigs for experiments.

"...yes, thanks, but I'll be accompanied by Liu Huan and Hu Zhi. They're returning to their guild before their boss criticizes them for slacking off." I said as He Kwok opened the door for me. I looked at him, but his eyes were, as always, glued to a certain ex-CEO.
