Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Solution-1
Su Jiyai asked the system to keep an eye on them.

“System I am going to rest for some time. Keep an eye on the situation, if you notice anything suspicious, wake me up immediately.”

[Okay host.]

Su Jiyai hurriedly took a shower and went to bed to take a nap. In the past 3 days, she hardly slept.

If she continued to work, she would die for sure.

For the next 8 hours, Su Jiyai slept peacefully.

Her sleep was disturbed by hunger and she could only force herself to wake up and ask the system to make something for her.

After having her dinner, Su Jiyai again went to bed.

She didn’t wake up till the afternoon of the next day.

With her mind refreshed and her body feeling rejuvenated, Su Jiyai stretched and got out of bed, feeling much better than she had in days.

“System, any updates while I was resting?” she asked as she walked over to the monitor.

[Host, there have been no significant changes. However, there was some suspicious activity detected around 5 kilometers from the base. A group of unknown individuals appeared to be scouting the area, but they did not approach the base within my monitoring range. I will continue to track their movements.]

Su Jiyai nodded thoughtfully. “Good. Keep monitoring them and alert me if they come closer.”

After working out for 2 hours, and getting ready, Su Jiyai started to deal with the issue of threats to tenants.

“System is there any way to ensure the safety of the tenants?”

[Host, it is something out of my range. But host why are you so concerned? Even if the rental income may be affected, as long as the tenants don’t go out for the time being, no one will be harmed. We just need to stop communicating with the outside world.]

Su Jiyai explained,

“If I didn’t deal with the matter properly three major problems will arise. First, if the income source of the tenants is affected then the rental income will also be affected.

Second no one from the other base would dare to join my base. Third, my base doesn’t have everything. We are lacking in many things like medicine, educational facilities, firearms, etc.

If we stop communicating with the outside world, who will deal with medical emergencies?

Not to mention, if I want to strengthen my base quickly I need more new tenants, if I stop communicating or going out how can we attract more new tenants.”

[Host you are right.]

Su Jiyai tapped her fingers on the table and suddenly a brilliant idea appeared in her mind.

“System, let’s go out.” She said and walked toward the garage.

[Host have you thought of a solution?]

“I have. Just I don’t know whether it will work or not.”

Once inside the car Su Jiyai used the backdoor to exit the base and set a destination.

Soon she arrived outside the Raven Base.

“System can you gauge a number of people in the Raven Base?”

[Sure. Calculating…]

The system began its calculations as Su Jiyai waited outside the Raven Base, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

[Host, the Raven Base currently houses approximately 20,000 individuals, including 20 higher-level combatants. The base is heavily fortified, but its defenses have some weak points, particularly on the west side near the water supply.]

“System can you sense whether there is something that is attracting the zombies towards the Raven Base?”

[Sure host. Sensing…Root cause found. Host, there is a strange signal in the air around Raven Base.]

Su Jiyai’s eyes brightened.

Just when she was thinking of a solution previously, a possibility appeared in her mind.

The Raven Base broke the agreement, even though they knew they would be punished. This could only mean, that they were desperate.

But why were they desperate?

This was answered by Fei Bao. Lack of basic commodities.

An idea appeared in her mind, but to make it foolproof, Su Jiyai decided to confirm it on her own.

Su Jiyai ordered,

“Let’s go back.”

[Host are you not going to attack?]

Su Jiyai put the location of her base and said calmly,

“If it was in some normal time, I would have. However with humanity declining and facing such a dangerous situation, if even I start to fight, the chance of humanity surviving would decline…

They may have lost their rationality due to their desperate situation, but I…”

Su Jiyai paused for a moment, then continued,

“But I still have mine. There’s no point in destroying what’s left of humanity just to settle a grudge or gain an upper hand.”

[Host you are kind.]

“That is what you think.” She smirked.

[Host, will you let them do whatever they want to then?]

Su Jiyai laughed,

“Let them jump for a few more days. We will see, who will have the last laugh.”

After returning to her base, Su Jiyai asked as she looked at the system’s space,

“You can multiply these things right?”

[Yes host.]

“How long will you take?”

[Around 5 hours.]

“Then please do so.”

From the peaceful earth she had gone to Su Jiyai had hoarded many things.

Now she needs to improve the standard of living so that her tenants would spend more money in the base.

With nothing to do, Su Jiyai categorized the zombie crystals.

These crystals can be fire, water, ice, earth, wind, space, darkness, light, or strength type.

In the next five hours, Su Jiyai started to absorb the space crystals.

Space crystals were the rarest type of crystals, and hard to come by.

Even though more than 40 people rented the rooms, only 10 space crystals were collected.

[Ding! Host the multiplication process has been completed! All the items have been put on the shelf! You can start to buy them. ]

[Ding! Snacks Detected! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Snacks X ∞! The Host can start buying Snacks for 50 Federal Coins!]

[Ding! Rice Detected! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Rice X ∞! The Host can start buying Rice per kg for 100 Federal Coins!]

[Ding! Canned foods Detected! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Canned Foods X ∞! The Host can start buying Canned food for 200 Federal Coins! Depending on the type of the food, the price may vary!]

[Ding! Water purification kit Detected! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Water purification kit X ∞! The Host can start buying a Water purification kit for 400 Federal Coins!]

….

Many system prompts started to pop out.

Su Jiyai’s eyes brightened.

She asked some questions from the system and waited for the sun to set.

At 8 pm she made a announcement,

“All the tenants are requested to stay inside their room for tonight. The doors of all the rooms will be locked for tonight. If there is any medical emergency, you can call me through the speaker in your room. No need to worry. Before 6 am in the morning, all the doors will be unlocked.”

The tenants thought Su Jiyai had received some tips on the ongoing fight and was going to retaliate.

All of them agreed.

As soon as the clock stuck at 12, all the doors were locked.

Su Jiyai asked the system to check whether anyone was out of their room, and sure enough, she heard the system report about 2 people who were lingering outside their rooms despite the warning.

“System, identify those two individuals,” Su Jiyai ordered.

[Host, the individuals are Room 17’s occupant, Lee Yao, and Room 23’s occupant, Chen Fang. These were the two individuals who you had asked to keep an eye on.]

“What are they doing?”

[Host, they are hiding behind the furniture.]

“Hm…so they are trying to keep an eye on me. As I suspected they are the spies planted by Raven Base.” Su Jiyai muttered. “Knock them out, send them back to their room. I don’t want them interfering with anything tonight.”

The system acknowledged her command.

[Understood, host. Initiating knocking out.]

A soft hissing sound came from the ventilation system in the hallway where Lee Yao and Chen Fang were hiding.

Within seconds, the two men began to feel lightheaded and lost consciousness, slumping quietly to the floor.

[Host, the individuals have been successfully knocked out. I am now transporting them back to their rooms.]

The system activated a series of small, automated drones designed for handling such situations.

The drones swiftly and silently lifted the unconscious men and carried them back to their respective rooms.

Once inside, the drones placed them gently on their beds and locked the doors securely.

[Host, the individuals are back in their rooms. They will remain unconscious for the next 6 hours.]

Su Jiyai asked with surprise,

“Where did these drones come from? Why didn’t you use teleportation?”

[Host, these drones were part of the base’s original security system, designed for non-lethal knocking out and transportation of individuals in case of emergencies. As for teleportation, it could have been used, but it consumes too much energy.]
