Apocalypse King System

After about ten minutes, Derick descended from the sky, holding the necks of two mutated zombies in his hands. These two zombies were peacefully closing their eyes, seemingly asleep.

It was challenging to find these two zombies because most of the zombies in Grizzly City had been cleared out. Derick had to fly near the outskirts of Magic Capital to locate them.

At this moment, Lu Zhengxun walked out of the villa's main gate. He was about to say something to Derick when he noticed the two zombies behind him.

"There are zombies..."

Lu Zhengxun exclaimed, not having time to think much. Wishing his parents had given him two more legs, he hurriedly ran back into the house.

Derick released his grip, and the eyes of the two zombies suddenly opened. With a roar, they were about to bite him. Derick gently pushed, and these two mutated zombies were pushed to the side of Lu Zhengxun by an invisible force.

One zombie was within biting distance, while the other was about ten meters away. Both zombies did not hesitate and bit into Lu Zhengxun's back.

"Ah..."

Lu Zhengxun screamed in madness as the zombies tore and bit off large chunks of flesh, and fresh blood gushed out.

On the second floor of the villa, Lin Mengxuan, hearing the commotion, descended the stairs. She witnessed the man being torn apart by two zombies, her face filled with horror, continuously retreating.

Derick quietly waited until the two zombies had killed Lu Zhengxun before releasing two lightning bolts, annihilating them.

Casually walking up the stairs, Derick saw Lin Mengxuan, who was trembling and hiding in the bedroom, too afraid to open the door.

"Mengxuan, open the door. It's fine now; I've dealt with the zombies."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengxuan finally opened the door cautiously, then carefully observed the two zombies in the living room on the first floor, lying quietly on the ground without moving.

Seeing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wuwuwu~ Scared me to death... How could zombies suddenly get into the villa..." Lin Mengxuan directly threw herself into Derick's arms, speaking incoherently, her expression filled with lingering fear.

"It's okay, it's okay. I've already taken care of it. There's a hole in the outer wall of the villa, and the zombies probably crawled in from outside," Derick comforted the frightened beauty gently.

Gradually regaining her composure, Lin Mengxuan and Derick walked downstairs. Looking at her husband lying on the ground with half of his head eaten, her expression became somewhat complex.

Unexpectedly and yet unsurprisingly, after seeing her husband's death, Lin Mengxuan didn't feel much sadness. Instead, she felt a bit relieved, as if a restraint had been lifted.

However, along with this relief came her worries about the future. Previously, it was always Lu Zhengxun who was busy avoiding zombies, leading her to hide in this secure villa. Now that her husband was gone, the fragile her couldn't help but be concerned about how to survive in this dangerous apocalypse.

"What... what should we do next?" Looking at the half-person-high hole in the outer wall of the villa, Lin Mengxuan felt a bit lost and nervous. She was afraid that zombies would crawl in at any moment, so she tightly gripped Derick's arm, seeking comfort.

Derick knew that this beauty had not experienced much danger since the apocalypse. Suddenly leaving the safety of the villa, coupled with her husband's death, inevitably made her feel anxious, desperately seeking someone to rely on.

"Don't worry... everything will be fine. I'll protect you!"

Derick gently stroked Lin Mengxuan's beautiful hair. Although he had lost a classical beauty as a wife, gaining an infatuated beauty who was crazy about him was also quite good.

Lin Mengxuan held onto Derick's arm tightly, feeling a lot of tension in her heart easing. Her inner turmoil gradually settled as she looked at the man in front of her and quietly approached his body, feeling a warm sensation.

"Husband..."

Derick embraced Lin Mengxuan's waist and whispered into her ear.

"Mengxuan, I have a place now, very safe. Do you want to go there with me?"

"Wherever you go, I will go!"

Lin Mengxuan replied firmly.

...

Ten minutes later, Lin Mengxuan landed on the ground, still in a state of shock, holding onto Derick's waist tightly and not daring to let go. Derick had just flown her from the villa area to the inside of the Order base, leaving the bewildered beauty in a state of shock.

"Husband... where is this? How did you do this?"

Lin Mengxuan asked in disbelief, and at the same time, she seemed to recall that she had never asked about this man's background. It was as if he had suddenly appeared, disappearing without a trace, only to reappear after some time.

However, in just a few encounters, Lin Mengxuan had completely surrendered to him. She could even engage in intimate relations with him without any reservations, and her husband's death seemed to have little impact.

"Welcome to my base. As for how I did this, you'll understand in the future..."

The central area of Order now is almost indistinguishable from the time before the apocalypse, with people bustling about everywhere. Various shops can even be seen on the streets, although there are not as many types compared to before the apocalypse. Most of them are stores selling cosmetics and women's clothing.

Angelica and Yue Yiren authorized some female warriors with experience in running shops to open stores within Order, allowing them to charge a certain fee. The credit points inside the personal wristbands have completely replaced the previous currency, becoming the hub for daily transactions in Order.

Seeing their leader accompanied by a woman, these female warriors would bow and salute as they passed by, but wisely refrained from approaching to disturb the two.

However, if Derick were alone in this situation or encountered the Lady of the Order, these women would individually kneel down to pay their respects. This was not only to show reverence but also to express their hope of catching the attention of their leader. In case their leader took an interest, it might provide them with the opportunity to rise quickly.

Observing the bustling scene of people coming and going, Lin Mengxuan felt a bit lost. She hadn't seen the semblance of normal human society for several months. Due to staying in the villa, she was unaware of the outside world and didn't know the current situation.

"Husband... are you the leader of this base? And why are there only women in this base?" Lin Mengxuan tried to calm herself down, curiously observing the crowd on the street. She had been standing here for several minutes, and everyone passing by was female, with not a single man in sight, and almost no children.

"Yes, because this is exclusively my base, and I am the leader of this base. This is a city I established—Order," Derick said with pride in his tone.

"Darling... I..."

Lin Mengxuan's heart was initially filled with surprise and joy. Derick was so powerful that she no longer needed to worry about her safety. However, looking at all the women in the base, she couldn't help but feel worried – what if Derick abandoned her or lost interest in her altogether?

Derick took just one glance and understood what Lin Mengxuan was probably thinking. After all, any newcomer, when faced with so many competitors, would involuntarily worry about whether they could compete successfully.

"What's the matter, worried that you can't keep me interested? Or lacking confidence in your appearance? Then work on learning how to please a man!" Derick said to Lin Mengxuan, who looked a bit anxious. In reality, she was overthinking.

In terms of looks alone, Lin Mengxuan was among the most beautiful in the base. Her classical and elegant charm was something that had been cultivated over time and was not easily matched by ordinary girls.

"Well, my dear, I'll work hard..." Lin Mengxuan blushed, nodding earnestly. She didn't have any objections to the idea of being one of several wives; in fact, she felt a bit humble and wanted to follow Derick's instructions to learn how to please him.

"Alright, as long as you understand. I'll have someone come and accompany you to get to know the whole base later. I have something to attend to now," Derick said as he gently touched the beauty's cheek, showing a hint of indulgence.
