Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Preparation

Hearing Su Jiyai’s words, the three of them were in disbelief.

“Boss Su you are not joking, right?” Liu Feng asked in a trembling voice.

The scientist at the military base repeatedly emphasized, how soon the extreme heat would take over. They also explored the possibility of zombies evolving even more.

With the extreme heat and the possible evolution, as well as the lack of resources and failure in hybrid seed germination, the military was plagued by bad news one after another.

However, two of their worries were dealt with just after one visit to Boss Su’s place.

If what Boss Su was saying was true, then they might have a chance to survive against the extreme heat.

“You can test it yourself.” Su Jiyai proposed.

Liu Feng and the other three soldiers nodded and before leaving they promised to give her a response soon.

Once they left, Su Jiyai explored the system’s market area.

She was planning to build a hidden house for the Steel Wasps.

“System how dumb those were who named those bees Steel Wasps? Wasps can’t produce honey but those Steel Wasps definitely can.

They should be called Steel Bees instead.”

[Host, they were giving such a name due to some reason.]

“Yeah.” Su Jiyai didn’t continue to delve into the topic. Instead, she asked,

“Is there a way to restrict access to certain areas? Construction at night is good, but I get too less time, not to mention, I want to put up these cloaks on sale right away.

So tell me, can I hide a part of the area from the tenants and the passing outsiders?”

[Feature not accessible.]

“So it exists but I can’t access it for the time being.” Su Jiyai muttered.

With no other choice, Su Jiyai focused on the other matters. She dropped an announcement stating she needed gold and would exchange for points at the market rate.

[Host are you planning to make a visit to another dimension?]

“Yes. With the rising heat, it is only a matter of time before extreme heat takes over. If that happens, the water level will be affected.

While it may sound as if I am overthinking, I have a hunch, that things will turn for the worst.

Everyone is focused on the extreme heat, but the effects of the extreme heat are far more dangerous.

First, the forest fires. The extreme heat is going to make the dry forests a giant tinderbox. One spark and the whole place goes up in flames.

When that happens, it’ll wipe out entire food supplies, cut off routes, and force survivors to migrate out of safe zones or the base in which they are living.”

The system chimed in.

[Host, the environmental impact of fires could also worsen the air quality, making it difficult to breathe in affected areas.]

“Exactly! People could die just from smoke inhalation if they don’t have proper masks or filtered air. And speaking of air—”

She paused, turning her gaze to the monitor,

“Imagine the heatwaves. Staying indoors won’t be enough. Homes that aren’t properly insulated will turn into ovens. People could die from heatstroke even inside their own homes.”

“That brings us to the next issue—power shortages. Even the military bases will struggle to keep their tech. Not to mention, there is hardly any Air Conditioner left in this world.

Water scarcity. With rivers and lakes drying up, survivors will be left scrambling for what little clean water remains.

People will get desperate. There will be more conflicts over water than ever before.”

Su Jiyai’s eyes narrowed as she said,

“System I plan to open a trade channel with other bases and with so many problems that might happen, I can come up with a solution for everyone outside my base and my tenants.”

[Host, you can do it later.]

“No.” Su Jiyai shook her head.

“Though the Zhou family was wrong by selling the product, because of them some of the pregnant women outside my base could live a bit more peacefully.

I am not a saint person, but I would regret it if I didn’t help them, especially when I have the power to do so.”

Before the system could comment, Su Jiyai interrupted it,

“I know it’s going to be challenging but was everything easy so far?”

The system could only remain silent.

Su Jiyai made a list as to what she will need.

For medicines that she might require, Su Jiyai consulted a doctor in the base and listed down all the possible medicines that might be needed for the extreme heat.

By the night Su Jiyai made the entire list.

All that was left was to increase her luck stats.

“By the way system, how is Lin Hao?” Su Jiyai asked softly.

[He has still not left the room, host.]

“Hm. System teleport me to the location where Qin Feng is.”

[Host you need to…]

“Yeah. I know. Cover my face and let him not know my identity.” Su Jiyai wore the veil. “When I talk with him later, change my voice and aura. Or else he will know about my identity.”

[Host, I don’t want to interfere with your private life, but I honestly think that guy named Qin Feng is not worthy of you. I had the chance to look through your memories and realized you fell for his looks. Now his looks are ruined, I think you might only feel pity for him.]

The joyful feeling in Su Jiyai’s heart disappeared. She didn’t outright lash at the system, in fact, she calmly asked,

“What do you know about him?”

[He is powerful, maybe on par with the expert named Lin Hao. But…his appearance is ruined. You might not recall this host…]

“I do. I remember how I started to like him. I was infatuated with his looks.” Su Jiyai smiled a bit coldly.

“Though it’s true, that it started as infatuation, I fell for his personality later. And you know what, I loved even more when I reunited with him again.

Do you know why? Because though he didn’t say, I know his skin has been burnt maybe because of me.”
