Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Spy
Until and unless someone has told them about the resources and they want to loot her base.

Su Jiyai’s eyes turned a little cold. Though she was exhausted, her tenants and base were much more important to her.

She turned on the monitor to check whether her tenants were harmed and heaved a sigh of relief.

Though the tenants looked scared, no one was harmed. Except there were too many requests left by each tenant.

Thank god, she had made extra preparations. Even though, she was away the vending machine operated regularly and was stocked up daily.

The constant supply of water, food, and electricity, made the tenants relieved that even though the base was attacked, there was a low chance of them being in danger.

“Yuan Xin please come to room no. 1. Rest all, please stay in your room, I will address your issues later.”

Yuan Xin was delighted to hear Su Jiyai’s robotic voice. With energetic footsteps, he made his way to Room no. 1.

All the other tenants were relieved when they heard Su Jiyai’s announcement. If weren’t for Su Jiyai’s command, they would have followed behind.

“Boss Su, where were you? You said you would be away only for 2 to 3 days, but it has already been over a month!” Yuan Xin asked.

If it was normal time, he wouldn’t have the courage to talk in such a manner, however, the constant attack from the other base, made his defense collapse.

He was worried, anxious, and fearful. After such a long time, he finally found a reliable powerful person, who could protect them in this post-apocalyptic world.

The thought of losing that protection had been gnawing at him ever since Su Jiyai disappeared.

Su Jiyai looked at Yuan Xin’s anxious face and felt a pang of guilt. She knew her absence had caused a lot of stress, but she had no choice.

“I’m sorry for worrying you all, Yuan Xin,” Su Jiyai said softly, her voice filled with sincerity.

“I was caught up in something beyond my control. But I’m back now, and I promise I’ll handle everything.”

Yuan Xin’s shoulders relaxed a little, but his concern was still evident.

“Boss Su, are you alright? Did you get injured?”

Su Jiyai felt a warm current in her heart.

“I am fine. Now tell me what is going on? Who is attacking us?” She asked.

Yuan Xin’s face changed and he started to narrate all the things that had happened,

“Just half a month ago, some of the men from the Raven Base came and started to attack the base.

Before we could take action, the attacks were nullified by a strange force. When those men sensed that they couldn’t harm the base at all, they withdrew.

Later, someone from Raven Base approached Brother Fu and inquired about the room. Brother Fu checked the person thoroughly before bringing him to the base.

That person acted as if he was genuinely interested. However, as soon as he entered the building, his face changed and he took out a weapon from his pocket threatening us, that if we didn’t hand over the snacks in the vending machine he would kill us.

Yet, he was teleported the moment he finished his words.” Yuan Xin chuckled as his eyes sparkled with awe.

He continued,

“Later, again some other men from Raven Base started to attack us. But that time they brought some advanced weapons with them.

Just as we all were worried, a protective barrier appeared around the base. Maybe it was 360 degrees since even those who tried to enter the base by digging found themselves being teleported out instantly. The barrier not only stopped their attacks but also kept them from even getting close. It was like the base was untouchable.”

Su Jiyai nodded thoughtfully as Yuan Xin continued.

“Later they gave up and started to target the tenants. One of the tenants was heavily injured by them. This scared many of us, and since then we have been staying indoors.

Lately, many zombies are crowding the entrance. But from the moment electric fence was activated, even they are reduced.”

Yuan Xin paused, concern etched on his face.

“Boss Su, what do we do? They seem determined to get what they want. I’m worried they’ll just keep coming until they find a way in. Maybe they are planning something grand…”

“I will deal with everything. Ask the tenants to not worry. Within 3 days I will deal with the matter. And send Fei Bao in.” Su Jiyai calmed him down.

Yuan Xin nodded, however, he didn’t leave right away.

“Anything else?”

“Please take of yourself.” Yuan Xin said and ran away.

Su Jiyai chuckled in her heart.

This kid was truly…very cute.

Soon Fei Bao walked inside Room no. 1.

Without giving him the chance to speak, Su Jiyai asked,

“Do you know the men attacking the base?”

“Yes. They are from Raven Base.” Fei Bao was a bit ashamed.

To think the people of Raven Base were so despicable and would go as far as attacking innocent people, made Fei Bao ashamed.

What was even more shameful was…Raven Base’s rule-breaking behavior.

All the big bases and small bases had come to an agreement that with the declining human population they had to save as many humans as they could, hence all the bases were prohibited from attacking each other or or looting resources from one another.

But the Raven Base clearly had no respect for such agreements.

Their actions not only endangered the lives of innocent people but also disrupted the fragile balance that had been maintained between the bases.

“Are the higher-ups of the Raven base involved in this matter?” Su Jiyai asked.

Fei Bao was baffled.

Su Jiyai simplified her question,

“Have you seen any subordinates of higher-ups of Raven Base?”

“Yes.” Fei Bao nodded.

So the higher-ups of the Raven Base were indeed involved.

“What is the level of the base leader of Raven Base?”

“Last time when I met him, he was at level 7.” Fei Bao answered.

Hm..

Level 7.

“System at what level I am?” Su Jiyai asked.

[Level 1]

Su Jiyai: “…” Am I so weak?

“Can absorbing zombie crystals increase my level ?”

She didn’t know what was the criteria on which the system was judging her level.

[Yes host.]

“Okay, you can leave now.” Su Jiyai said to Fei Bao.

Fei Bao however like Yuan Xin didn’t leave right away and stood in front of the speaker.

“Is there anything?”

“I heard a conversation and I don’t know whether it is useful or not. The base leader Chen Mu had asked us to raid one of the abandoned military bases to see whether any food resources were stored there or not.

After the last zombie attack on the base, food became even more scarce. There was also a scarcity of basic necessities like clothes and medicine.

The leader was growing desperate, and I overheard him talking to some of his subordinates about taking drastic measures if they couldn’t find enough supplies.

When I completed the last mission, I overheard him talking about how some strange bugs were ruining the vegetables that were planted.

They also saw some strange creatures that looked like zombies, but weren’t zombies.”

Su Jiyai nodded,

“Okay, then…”

“I haven’t finished. The most important part, the base leader suspected, that some strange forces were trying to mess with the world.”

Fei Bao took a deep breath, his expression turning serious.

“The base leader, Chen Mu, mentioned that these strange forces were not just causing trouble but were systematically disrupting the natural order.

The crops failing, the mutated creatures—they all seemed to be connected. He even speculated that these forces might be behind the zombie outbreak itself.”

Su Jiyai understood Fei Bao’s implication.

If there were indeed some strange forces who were trying to destroy humanity completely, then her base which could later become the pillar of humanity would definitely attract their attention.

So she needs to increase the security of the base.

“Okay. Thank you for your information.”

Fei Bao nodded and left.

“System, what is your range of monitoring.”

[Host I can monitor a radius of 3 kilometers around the base. This includes detecting incoming threats, tracking movements of hostile entities, and identifying anomalies in the environment.]

“Okay. Inform me whenever someone enters this range. Is there any counterattack mode?”

[Yes host.]

“Turn it on when the situation becomes worse. Also, can you hear the conversation of those within your range?”

[Yes host.]

“Great. Record all the conversations, if my busy or resting. Also please show me how many new tenants have arrived while I was away and give me a brief summary of their backgrounds and abilities.”

The system responded promptly.

[Host 50 new tenants have been admitted. 40 out of 100 rooms have been rented.]

Su Jiyai started to check their background one by one.

Who knows whether the Raven Base has planted any spy among them or not?

At the end, she highlighted two names.
