Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 508: Self-Preservation

After dinner and sharing a few words with her family, Chu Miao went back to drawing talismans while the others went to cultivate.

It was only when Ye Xuan came to inform her that it was morning outside the Soul Ring that she stopped drawing.

Stretching her somewhat stiff body from all the crouching on the desk while drawing talismans, Chu Miao left the study and headed to her bedroom in the old courtyard.

Even after moving to the villa, the room she had used as a bedroom in the courtyard was still intact.

She took a bath and changed her clothes before walking to the living room where Ye Xuan was waiting.

She followed him to have breakfast before taking her team of seven out of the Soul Ring.

Just as they appeared in the house within the president’s residence, she felt someone touch the barrier she had set outside the night before.

Chu Miao waved her hand and the barrier disappeared.

Yu Wane’r’s voice came through the door calling to her.

"Miaomiao, let’s go catch zombies." Yu Wane’r shouted towards the house.

This was the first time Chu Miao had seen someone so excited about catching zombies.

However, she didn’t want to rain on her friend’s parade, so she kissed Ye Xuan and ran outside to join her friend.

"It’s refreshing to watch sister-in-law act her age once in a while.

Anyone who sees her for the first time while giving orders or in battle would ignore her young age completely." Lei Ying said, his eyes looking outside the door where Chu Miao had disappeared through.

"That’s true. She is too mature for her age." Gu Fan added with a complicated look.

"If not for the apocalypse, she would still be a college student figuring out where to go shopping this weekend.

So, it’s understandable." It was rare for Ye Xuan to join such conversations, but since this one concerned his beloved woman, he also revealed his thoughts.

"That’s true. The apocalypse has forced a lot of young people to grow up too quickly just to survive."Jing Xian also expressed his sadness for those youngsters who had lost their opportunity to explore their youth.

"Enough of that. Let’s get to work." Ye Xuan urged his brothers and took the lead heading outside.

They had to check on the progress of the watchtowers and see if they could set up more defenses around the base.

To their surprise, when they arrived at the site where the watchtowers were being built, they found that the workers had worked harder than expected.

They were already halfway through and only needed by the end of that day to complete the towers.

It was something similar to a miracle. But soon they found out that some strength-type and speed-type superpower users had volunteered to help.

They had stated that they were also members of the base and wanted to help protect it.

This was unexpected especially because they hadn’t been promised anything.

Ye Xuan was glad that some people still had patriotism in their blood no matter the circumstances.

For their willingness to help without conditions, he set up a table and put out bowls upon bowls of congee cooked using spiritual spring water.

It had vegetables and pork mixed inside. It was the most nutritious meal many of them had seen since the apocalypse started.

Like greedy cats, the workers didn’t hold back, especially those who had been there the previous evening and had eaten a full meal.

Ye Xuan thought about it and took out a basin filled with meat buns just like the previous day.

He also instructed his brothers who had gone to inspect the other sites to do the same.

The water tank was also refilled, which encouraged those working to work even harder.

In fact, after Ye Xuan and the other leaders left the previous night, the workers had only eaten half of the bowl of soup and shared the remaining soup and buns with their families and friends.

They had also shared the water and chose to only drink a sip every couple of hours.

This morning was just the same.

As soon as Ye Xuan left, the congee in the bowl was divided and shared with family members who were standing at a distance watching their loved ones work.

Of course, Ye Xuan knew this but didn’t care. As long as they had the strength to finish their tasks, it didn’t matter where they took their food.

Luckily, the spiritual spring water in the congee and water tank gave them strength that was stronger than if they had eaten the full meal.

Ye Xuan headed to the wall to observe the surrounding area and the vegetation there.

He remembered what Chu Miao had said before about the mutated plants eating zombies.

He knew that Chu Miao had left with Yu Wane’r to go outside the base to catch zombies for the experiment.

Just as he was thinking this, Commander Shen, the president, and a few other leaders appeared in the distance.

They were getting out of their vehicles and walking towards him.

The contrast between the leaders and other survivors was quite noticeable.

They were cleaner, and healthier compared to the soldiers following behind them for security.

It wasn’t something they could be judged for because every human had a sense of self-preservation.

When things got bad, everyone would do what was best for them.

So, it was not surprising to see the leaders who didn’t even enter the battlefield personally get more benefits.

Ye Xuan jumped down from the wall as soon as the leaders got closer and saluted them.

Even though he had recovered his memories as the King of the Immortal Realm, he didn’t let pride rule him.

He understood that he was still in the mortal realm and here he was a soldier.

So, he showed the due respect to the leaders.

"Little Ye, how is everything coming along?" Commander Shen asked good-natured.

"The watchtowers will be done by tonight. The others, we are still waiting."
