The apocalypse is coming, but thankfully I have a harem of paper dolls.

At this moment, the female ninja rested her chin on her fan, blinking her eyes, and asked Luo Jiajun a question without thinking, entirely out of curiosity.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a prickling sensation on her back. She subconsciously turned her head and saw that it was Leda, who was behind her, staring at her with a sharp, hawk-like gaze.

The female ninja's heart skipped a beat, and for some reason she felt guilty. She quickly turned her head and looked at Luo Jiajun again.

Luo Jiajun looked at her with a smile and whispered:

"It's a secret~"

Unexpectedly, Luo Jiajun gave such an answer. Shiranui Mai was taken aback, then let out a dissatisfied huff:

“Huh? Mr. Luo, how could you do this?”

Seeing that Mai Shiranui was speaking to Luo Jiajun in such a tone, Leda's eyes immediately became even more gloomy.

Hmph! Relying on the Lord's mercy and kindness, they disregard the distinction between master and servant, and become arrogant because of his favor.

He also asked some questions he shouldn't have asked.

This is not how a servant should behave!

……

About half an hour later.

Finally, the group arrived at their destination – Zhongyue Shopping Mall.

As one of only two shopping malls in Kun County, this place has always been the busiest spot in the county. However, since the apocalypse arrived a few days earlier in the morning, the mall hadn't even opened yet, let alone had any customers.

If other survivors were to attempt to enter the mall, the first problem they would face would be how to break down the doors. For Luo Jiajun and his group, however, this was a piece of cake.

Another piece of good news is that not every building in the city is covered by giant vines that have sprouted from the ground. Zhongyue Shopping Mall is one of the few buildings that has been preserved intact.

This made Luo Jiajun, who had summoned Rita, a landmine-type monster, and opened boxes to get Senzu Beans with the same effect, feel a pang of regret.

It's getting better!

Finally, our luck has turned around!

Of course, the fact that Zhongyue Shopping Mall is still intact does not mean that there are no deformed plants there.

However, the trees and shrubs growing wildly in the green belts near the shopping mall are all the kind that prefer quiet and are not very aggressive.

With Zyra and some "Thorn Spitters" spawned outside the mall as guards, the mall building can basically be protected from other plants.

But just as everyone had broken through an entrance and was about to enter the mall, a helicopter suddenly appeared in the sky. Although the helicopter was at a considerable altitude, Luo Jiajun, with his sharp hearing and eyesight, could clearly hear the whooshing sound of the helicopter's rotors.

The helicopter wasn't just passing by; it hovered overhead after spotting Luo Jiajun and his group.

Because of the helicopter's construction, it was clearly a military transport aircraft. After thinking for a moment, Luo Jiajun went into the mall and headed straight for the rooftop, where he began waving at the helicopter.

Soon after, the helicopter arrived above the rooftop, the cabin door opened, and a team of fully armed soldiers slid down the ropes.

"Master, please be careful, this team is very well equipped." 2B came to Luo Jiajun's side and whispered a reminder as she observed the elite troops that had descended from the sky.

Gazing at the red flag insignia on the chests of the soldiers' armor, Luo Jiajun smiled and told 2B beside him, "Don't worry, they are the most reliable troops in the world."

After everyone landed.

The team's commander, Qin Feng, removed his helmet, revealing a mature face. He walked step by step to Luo Jiajun, gave a military salute to Luo Jiajun who was neither a soldier nor a leader, and introduced himself and the soldiers behind him, claiming that they were a special task force from the capital and belonged to the "Tenglong Special Forces".

Upon learning that this unit had come all the way from the capital, Luo Jiajun raised an eyebrow but didn't rush to ask about their purpose. He simply replied, "Sir, just call me Xiao Luo. Um... I wonder if there's anything I can do to help you?"

“Mr. Luo, to be honest, we came all the way from Kyoto to Kun County specifically to find you.”

"Xiaowen!"

As Qin Feng called out, a female soldier carrying a communication device jogged over. She held a military tablet in her hand and pulled up a video on the tablet to show Luo Jiajun.

The video played was of Luo Jiajun's first transformation into the Terminator, fighting against the Needle Giant.

"It was in a building next to the parking lot in the video. A police officer recorded this scene on his phone and sent it to the work group." Qin Feng's voice gradually lowered, and he finally let out a sigh. "Unfortunately, we lost contact with him that day."

Luo Jiajun nodded silently and said in a low voice, "So, the officials came to me because...?"

"Mr. Luo!"

As the conversation turned to the main topic, Qin Feng's tone became more solemn. He slowly said, "The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen! We are now facing a..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I know what you're going to say."

Finally, what is supposed to come has come.

With great power comes great responsibility.

But the eight characters "The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen" were indeed too solemn. Luo Jiajun originally thought he could selfishly only care for himself in the apocalypse, regardless of the lives of others. But when these eight characters came to him, a voice inside him kept telling him that he should do something...

After thinking it over, Luo Jiajun simply asked, "Sir, I only want to confirm one thing: am I obligated to respond to the call, with no other choice?"

With Luo Jiajun's current strength, plus the likes of 2B around him, no one can restrict Luo Jiajun's freedom. He just wants to figure out the official attitude.

It seems that Qin Feng had prepared for similar issues before he arrived.

Luo Jiajun had barely finished speaking when he started talking about the law.

In short, based on some legal provisions cited by Qin Feng, Luo Jiajun is indeed obligated to obey conscription in a state of emergency. However, Qin Feng was not trying to blackmail Luo Jiajun with this; after explaining the relevant points, he immediately changed his tone:

"However, this is the end of the world after all. For each of us, just surviving is already extremely difficult. The higher-ups mean that they will not force Mr. Luo to do anything, but they still hope that Mr. Luo can prioritize the overall situation. If Mr. Luo has any understanding of this sudden disaster, please feel free to give us your guidance."

……guide?

After thinking for a moment, Luo Jiajun simply asked Qin Feng, "How much do you know about this apocalyptic event caused by plant mutation?"

Qin Feng immediately responded—to Luo Jiajun's surprise, the authorities had already noticed something only a few days after the apocalypse began.

For example, treasure chests contain high-value items.

"We just received the news from the capital. Some of our soldiers have already obtained abilities similar to those of druids in Western fantasy stories by opening treasure chests. This has greatly helped us build new camps and rescue more survivors."

"In addition, we previously sent drones to fly around the city in an attempt to find Mr. Luo's whereabouts. After the footage was transmitted back to the capital, the capital analyzed and investigated and found an open treasure chest in Kun County—right in Qingnan Square."

"However, when we arrived above Qingnan Square, we found that the treasure chest had already been opened, and it seemed that a battle had just taken place in the square. Many dead plants still had embers remaining..."

At this point, Qin Feng stared intently into Luo Jiajun's eyes.

Luo Jiajun smiled immediately and said frankly:

"What a coincidence! I was the one who opened the treasure chest."

As he spoke, Luo Jiajun showed Qin Feng a bag of Immortal Beans he had obtained from opening the treasure chest, explained the function of the Immortal Beans, and asked if Qin Feng needed them.

Given the superior equipment of this unit and their knowledge of the treasure chest's existence, Luo Jiajun couldn't help but suspect that the treasure chest he had previously discovered on the map, which appeared to have been opened by someone else, might have been opened by this very unit. If it was such a well-equipped unit, dealing with the "wild monsters" near the treasure chest wouldn't seem impossible.

If that's the case, Luo Jiajun is considering making an exchange, since the existence of Senzu Beans is indeed somewhat useless at the moment.

However, Qin Feng seemed to have misunderstood Luo Jiajun's meaning and simply shook his head, saying:

"We cannot accept rewards without merit. This is what you and your comrades risked your lives to fight for, and we cannot accept it."

"Okay." Luo Jiajun nodded, putting away the bag of Senzu Beans, and then asked Qin Feng, "Can your tablets display a map of the county?"

"Of course," Qin Feng nodded.

A female communications soldier named Xiaowen immediately pulled up a map from her military tablet.

Looking at the map, Luo Jiajun suddenly remembered something else:

"By the way, I heard drones broadcasting announcements in the city saying that the authorities have set up a camp near the Ouyuan Building in the west of the city. Did you know about this?"

"Yes, the information is correct. In fact, we are currently temporarily residing at the western camp."

"Is that so? Fine..."

Luo Jiajun nodded, and then, based on the game map in his mind, he pointed to several places in the west of the city on the tablet's map.

"Here, here, and here, you can remember these three places and go look for them. If all goes well, you should be able to find a treasure chest."

"And here, and here, whatever you do, don't go near these two places, they are very dangerous."

Without explaining why, Luo Jiajun simply told Qin Feng about a few places in the west of the city where there were [high-value items] worth searching, and places where there were bosses, or [high-value targets], that should be avoided.

Anyway, helping out like this won't harm his own interests. Like I said, Kun County alone has plenty of resources; the government takes what's in the west, he takes what's in the east—it's not a conflict at all. At worst, after he's finished with the east, he can just move on to other cities; there will always be plenty of resources to go around.

As for whether revealing information would attract malicious attention and make him a target for those with ill intentions, Luo Jiajun wasn't worried at all. With this kind of strength, and a harem full of incredibly powerful women around him, what's the difference between him and a coward if he were still timid and hesitant? Mei's not available, Lin's not available...

After receiving Luo Jiajun's advice, Qin Feng stared intently at Luo Jiajun, about to say something more.

Luo Jiajun immediately waved his hand:

"Don't ask why. Believe it or not, it's fine."

Qin Feng remained silent for a moment, then finally thanked Luo Jiajun. If Luo Jiajun's words were true, perhaps they could have saved countless lives from this catastrophe by obtaining what they had from the treasure chest!

Of course, after this conversation, Qin Feng also realized that Luo Jiajun preferred to be independent and did not want to join anyone.

In this situation, he couldn't continue to bother them after already having made some gains, so he finally said to Luo Jiajun, "Mr. Luo, thank you for your cooperation and help. If the information you provided is true, the authorities will certainly not take advantage of you for nothing..."

As he spoke, he handed Luo Jiajun a military-grade handheld radio.

the end.

Salute! Lead the team away!

There was no moral blackmail, no forced conscription.

Looking at this well-equipped force, Luo Jiajun believed that humanity was not without resistance in this cataclysm. And that a way out would surely be found, just as the existence of [high-value items] represented one such way out for humanity…

After watching the special task force led by Qin Feng board the helicopter and leave.

"fortunately……"

Achina moved closer to Luo Jiajun and gently stroked the back of his head with her hand:

"Judging from what happened just now, it looked like you were about to leave with those people at any moment. It really scared me. What are we supposed to do if you leave?"

"Who said I was leaving?"

Luo Jiajun looked up and gave Achina a disgruntled look.

Achina chuckled softly and said gently, "Don't be angry, darling, it was just a joke. Wherever you go, we'll definitely follow you. You can't shake us off even if you want to." (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

The woman's voluptuous body pressed against Luo Jiajun, causing him, who had relaxed after finishing their business, to momentarily become somewhat distracted.

But the most urgent task is to build the campsite properly.

Although the shopping mall building has been preserved intact, it still faces the problem of water and electricity supply. Regarding power outages, large shopping malls certainly have generators and fuel on hand, which can help them last for a while.

Regarding the water supply, Luo Jiajun noticed that there were water tanks built on the rooftop of the shopping mall. With the tap water cut off, Luo Jiajun couldn't help but consider the possibility of having Delaire directly generate water and store it in the tanks.

When he called Dreyer to his side to question him, Dreyer immediately narrowed his eyes, a sly glint in them.

"Well, although I don't know those sophisticated water magic spells, creating water isn't a problem; it's much simpler than creating physical objects. But with so many people's water needs on my shoulders, the magic consumption is quite high. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Master to replenish everyone's magic frequently afterwards~"

As she finished speaking, the witch deliberately leaned close to Luo Jiajun's ear, her soft lips pressing against his earlobe.

She had been driven to ecstasy by Luo Jiajun's large penis, and the pleasure was addictive. Moreover, after being fucked several times, she felt her magic power increasing. She absolutely loved this man in every way. If Luo Jiajun didn't have other women around him, she would definitely cling to him every day, relentlessly exploiting him.

“As long as you work hard, you’ll have no shortage of opportunities.” Luo Jiajun immediately turned his head and said to Derek meaningfully.

These words made Delaire's eyes light up, and his legs instinctively clamped together, as if he was about to get aroused just because of Luo Jiajun's words.

But Luo Jiajun only wanted to get everything arranged before it got dark, so he seriously assigned tasks to the women in the harem, leaving Derek and 2B on the rooftop to work with him on solving the water supply problem.

Zella was responsible for generating plants to form a protective circle outside the mall.

The others went downstairs and cleaned up the shops on the first and second floors. After all, the mall was not a residence, and it would need to be modified to turn it into a camp.

After a flurry of activity, the three shops on the second floor of the mall were cleaned up. Luo Jiajun then asked Delaire to use her ability to create simple things with magic to solve the problem of not having bedding in the shops.

During mealtime, everyone gathered at a hot pot restaurant in the fifth-floor dining area, using a generator to power up the food and prioritizing those that hadn't spoiled. However, one person remained unaffected during this process—that is, 2B, an android who doesn't need to eat at all.

She diligently searched through all the other shops in the food court and found the food that hadn't spoiled yet. She then placed it in the refrigerators of one or two shops and turned off the power to the refrigerators in the other shops to save electricity.

This wasn't even an order from Luo Jiajun; she was busy on her own initiative.

Upon discovering this, Luo Jiajun hurriedly finished his meal, left the hot pot restaurant, and found 2B, who was busy at the barbecue restaurant next door, hoping that she could still get some rest.

But 2B just shook her head expressionlessly and told Luo Jiajun, "I don't need to eat, please let me continue working."

Since he had nothing better to do, Luo Jiajun understood what 2b was trying to say.

But this does not mean that Luo Jiajun has no objections.

Because 2B's affection for her master was locked at ∞, Luo Jiajun didn't need to hold back when speaking. He simply raised one hand and gently stroked 2B's face, which was even whiter than a real person's.
