Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse-Chapter 141: January

Three days later, the two received a notice from the teams’ management office.

As expected, because of their contribution during the refinery mission, Team Legends was upgraded to an S-tier team.

However, they were not the only ones.

From the notice, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu saw that Team Dawn and Team Overlord were also upgraded.

"I understand why Team Dawn was upgraded, but what did Team Overlord do to deserve the promotion?" Qin Wu complained with a disgruntled expression.

During the mission, she and Mo Chenxuan killed the level three mutated pebble plant, saving everyone in the convoy.

Additionally, they killed a level three zombie crocodile and completed several subtasks.

Similarly, Chu Wan’er saved the convoy while passing through the swamp and moved the black stone from the YS refinery storage area.

Considering this, it was reasonable that Team Legends and Team Dawn earned enough task points to become S-tier teams.

However, Team Overlord’s performance was lacklustre and should not have generated heavy rewards.

Thinking of this, Qin Wu frowned with an unhappy expression.

"Team Overlord didn’t even submit that much fuel." She continued.

Hearing this, Mo Chenxuan smiled and rubbed Qin Wu’s hair to soothe her emotions.

"The base leader, soon to be King, comes from the Xuanyuan family. Additionally, Team Overlord has dominated since the beginning of the apocalypse and has numerous connections within the base. It’s not strange that the team has also been promoted."

Qin Wu sighed when she heard this.

She understood the rationale behind the promotion, but she was still unhappy.

After all, she, Mo Chenxuan, and everyone in the comprehensive Team Legends worked hard to get the promotion.

Why should their achievement be minimised by the inclusion of an unworthy team?

Still, the promotion was good news because it proved team Legend’s reputation, which had already begun spreading in the base.

In the following days, many survivors showed up for the team army’s recruitment, and others applied for expert positions.

Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were happy to see this.

In just one week, the army grew to three thousand soldiers, and they also managed to recruit some professionals, including an architect, two engineers, and others.

At this time, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were meeting the team of professionals.

"Our territory will be seventy-five acres, approximately three hundred thousand square metres." Mo Chenxuan started and quickly continued.

"First, we need residential zones capable of housing twenty thousand people." He said.

Hearing this, the professionals nodded and seriously took notes.

"Second is the administration area. The territory will have nine chiefs, and each will require a building to operate from. Additionally, there should be a central building for Wu’er and I."

"Third is the military area. This area will be the largest and should include a training ground, armoury, offices, and houses."

After saying this, Mo Chenxuan looked at the professionals, and when they nodded, he continued.

"We also need at least ten large warehouses."

In this way, Mo Chenxuan detailed his vision and didn’t fail to include a shopping street, market, hospital, school, factories, theatre, a pleasure house, mission hall, police station, detention centre, water reservoir and others.

"Seventy-five acres is not nearly enough to build a proper city. However, we should plan the territory in anticipation of future expansions. Does everyone understand?" Qin Wu asked, and everyone nodded.

"You have one week to come up with a preliminary plan. See you then.’

After the experts left, Qin Wu sighed and leaned on Mo Chenxuan.

"I hope they won’t disappoint us." She said.

"Mmh." Mo Chenxuan nodded.

After all, they didn’t have options since many experts had not survived the early days of the apocalypse.

Time passed, and one week later, the experts presented a plan.

Unfortunately, neither Mo Chenxuan nor Qin Wu were satisfied.

Looking at the plan, both felt the individual parts were well thought out, but the whole lacked synergy.

However, what could they do?

Without a city planner, they could only fumble their way and hopefully achieve the designed goal.

With that in mind, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu asked the experts to continue refining the plan and once again present it in three days.

Plan after plan, and revision after revision. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Before they knew it, it was the twenty-third day of January.

The twenty-third was Mo Chenxuan’s birthday.

Although they were in an apocalypse and supplies were low, Qin Wu didn’t ignore this day.

As a celebration, she asked Xu Fei and the others to half supply prices for the day.

Additionally, she prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner for Mo Chenxuan. She even made a bowl of longevity noodles and a delicious black forest cake.

The two didn’t work on this day.

Instead, they ate, drank, and had fun to celebrate the birthday.

"Do you feel older?" Qin Wu asked, pinching Mo Chenxuan’s cheek.

"Should I feel older?" The man chuckled.

After all, he was an ability user.

Rather than feeling older, he felt like he was growing younger by the day.

The birthday was perfect given the circumstances, but after the day, they resumed their busy life.

Wake up, breakfast, reports, clearing the snow, lunch, training the army, dinner, shower, sleep, and repeat the following day.

Such a life continued until the twenty-eighth.

On the twenty-ninth, the lunar new year, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu once again halved supply prices. Additionally, they invited their friends for hotpot and beer to celebrate the holiday.

Two days later, on the thirty-first, the base finally issued land title deeds.

Looking at the title certificate, Qin Wu smiled with a satisfied expression.

"We have finally gotten it." She said, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

They paid the full cost soon after Team Legends became an S-tier team.

However, they always felt uneasy and couldn’t relax until they had the title deed in their hands.

Other than the deed, the base also made good on its promise and delivered the remainder of their crystal weapons.

Thinking of this, Qin Wu looked at Mo Chenxuan with a thoughtful expression.
