Has the Female Lead Turned Villainous Today? [Quick Transmigration] 78p2

Chapter 078: World Three [19-2]

“Chief Ling, the ruler who has escaped has very strong connections. A ton of supplies and a potion probably won’t be enough to move the person who can make a move on him,” Zheng Jin appeared in Ling Yilin’s office at three in the afternoon and discussed this matter with her.

“Is that so?” Ling Yilin asked, her action of signing not stopping.

“I think we can appropriately modify the reward. For example, ten ability potions. That way, it’s more convenient for people with the same idea to group together, and it can also muddy the waters of the twelfth district.”

Zheng Jin was also a black-hearted person. She would only seek benefits for the people of her own safe zone. In her eyes, those who were not from Safe Zone No. 15 were all outsiders.

“Sure,” Ling Yilin nodded in agreement.

“Also, a hundred potions a day is a little too few. Can you find a way to increase the number, Chief?” Zheng Jin asked, nervously rubbing her hands. “Can we help you relieve your troubles in some other places?”

“You’ll approve the documents?” Ling Yilin put down her pen and looked at Zheng Jin.

“Perhaps the chief can carve a seal, and I’ll help you stamp it?” Zheng Jin said sensibly. “That way, the chief only needs to come for a meeting once a week, and you can also bring an assistant with you.”

After getting along for so long, Zheng Jin had more or less figured out Ling Yilin’s thoughts.

Power and the like were not worth mentioning in Ling Yilin’s eyes. The one in her family was the treasure in her heart. The words “don’t let her out,” “she’s my property,” and so on were just a little game between a couple. If she really believed it, then she could be done for.

In fact, Meng Jiuge’s power and status were completely comparable to her own. No, it should be that she had surpassed her. After all, every time she went to get the medicine, she had to try hard to put on a smiling face and bring a sufficiently valuable gift to the door.

The points in Meng Jiuge’s account were so many that she couldn’t use them all. If she went out, there would be at least ten bodyguards in the dark. For safety, the residents of that villa area had been changed several times.

“Is that okay?” Ling Yilin asked, feigning.

“Of course, it is. I will inform you of the important information at the weekly regular meeting. If there is anything you need me to do, you can also directly send me a text message or call me,” Zheng Jin said.

As long as she had the ability potion in hand, Safe Zone No. 15 would sooner or later become the only pure land in the apocalypse. Her own mother might become…

“Then let’s do it like that. I’m going back,” Ling Yilin said she wouldn’t do it, and she didn’t. “Just carve the seal according to my signature. You can handle it.”

After throwing the few remaining tasks away, Ling Yilin went back. The local co-op game from yesterday was not yet cleared. She would go back and continue to play.

And so, Ling Yilin lived a life of going to work for one afternoon a week. Out of the twenty-four hours a day, she would spend at least twenty-one hours at home with Meng Jiuge.

It was unknown whether it was Ling Yilin who had made Meng Jiuge her kept woman, or if it was Meng Jiuge who had successfully turned herself into a rope and had completely locked Ling Yilin by her side.

The production of the ability potion was gradually increasing. A hundred a day was indeed not enough, but Ling Yilin stubbornly stuck to the upper limit. Only after the head of the twenty-third ruler was sent over did she relent to three hundred a day.

This number was already quite a lot. In a month, there would be a full nine thousand potions, which could cultivate at least eight thousand ability users.

With the number of ability users soaring, the zombies seemed to be no longer a threat. With the advantage of a sufficient number of ability users, it seemed that they could also take down the leader zombie? Was human civilization going to be glorious again just like that?

The imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

The strength of the ability users created by the potion varied. They could deal with ordinary zombies, but when they encountered high-level zombies, they were just sending food.

After all, ability users were a part of the zombie’s food chain. For zombies, they were an exceptionally delicious supplement. While ordinary zombies were being killed in large numbers, the high-level zombies also ate the more delicious ability user food, and their strength had risen a lot.

The fourth leader zombie and the fifth leader zombie, who had grouped together, could even read the memories in the ability users’ minds by devouring their brains.

Ling Yilin’s name thus appeared among the zombie leaders, making the leader zombies with intelligence meet because of this.

As time passed, the number of leader zombies that appeared in the eyes of humans had already reached twenty-three. The strongest were undoubtedly the fourth and the fifth.

The smart leader zombies chose to avoid Base No. 15, while the bold leader zombies wanted to use their heads to test if Ling Yilin was really that powerful.

Their ending was only one, and that was to have their heads pierced by Ling Yilin with Xiao Qi. The crystal nuclei in their heads became Xiao Qi’s little snacks, replenishing a lot of its energy.

The twelfth district finally surrendered. After the high-level officials were killed by the resistance army, they forcibly announced the dissolution of the twelfth district, and everyone became a district-less wanderer.

Ling Yilin was already drowning in a gentle land at this time. Her whole person was lazy and did not want to move. She just turned a blind eye to these people.

A year later, the basic version of the ability potion was produced in Safe Zone No. 15. They had removed the parts of the crystal nucleus that were unfriendly to humans and had achieved the transformation from crystal nucleus to potion.

However, the raw materials for the potion were all crystal nuclei, and the quantity was relatively limited. The success rate was also only about sixty percent, which was not as good as the first version of the ability potion.

Two years later, the original eighty-something safe zones had become one Safe Zone No. 15 and twenty affiliated small sub-districts. The human political power had a nominal unification.

Zheng Fanghua took office as the speaker of the Human Alliance, and Ling Yilin was a nominal deputy speaker. The original high-level officials of the fifteenth district and the heads of the other safe zones became councilors.

Three years later, the number of ability users had reached six digits, and the Human Alliance announced the official start of the counterattack against the zombies.

At this time, the number of leader zombies had also reached four digits. With a brain, the zombies were no worse than the ability users. They had even found a way to transform ability users. They just needed to integrate a part of their body into the other’s body, and they could turn an ability user into a zombie.

Of course, “zombie” was the human’s term. In the eyes of those zombies with intelligence, they were not zombies, but “evolvers.”

It was just that there was a little more blood in the process of evolution, but as long as the evolution was advanced and thorough enough, they were not walking dead, but a more advanced life form than humans.

The war between the ability users and the evolvers began, with casualties on both sides.

Seeing that the duration of the battle was getting longer and longer, the population problem was put on the table. Some brain-dead councilors began to propose that the female ability users temporarily leave the battlefield. After they had given birth to enough children, they would then be put back into the battle.

Ling Yilin had attended this meeting with Meng Jiuge. She did not say a single word of nonsense and directly took out a gun that was emitting lightning and sent this councilor with a bad head on his way.

“The research has a new breakthrough. Men can also have an artificial uterus transplanted,” Ling Yilin expressed her opinion at the meeting for the first time. “If you want a child, then get pregnant yourself. It only costs a thousand points.”

After her voice fell, the meeting was so quiet that you could even hear a pin drop.

“Hmm? What child?” Meng Jiuge, who had been dozing off, woke up, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She had been a little too excited last night and had overdrawn her stamina.

The expression on Ling Yilin’s face softened. She stroked the head of her property. “It’s nothing. I just told them that there’s an artificial uterus.”

“Oh, oh,” Meng Jiuge rubbed her eyes, let out a small yawn, and then continued to close her eyes and rest against Ling Yilin.

“Alright, according to the deputy speaker’s meaning, let’s draft the relevant clauses as soon as possible,” Zheng Fanghua broke the slightly stiff atmosphere and began to discuss other more important matters.

What the hell? One after another, they were telling the female ability users to stay and have children. Did this councilor not have a brain? Was she, this speaker, just a decoration? Did he not see the deputy speaker?

In a council of twenty people, did he not see that there were a total of twelve women?

What a pig’s brain. No, he should be dumber than a pig. At least a pig wouldn’t run headfirst into a butcher’s knife, but he could accurately step on a landmine.

And so, after a brainless councilor died, no second councilor spoke nonsense at a council with a female-to-male ratio of 13:7.

Offspring were important, but there was no need to sacrifice women. At the very least, they had to be sacrificed together.

This chaotic battle lasted for a total of three years. During this period, the evolvers had rushed to the face of Safe Zone No. 15 several times.

However, after Ling Yilin appeared and killed one of the leaders, the evolvers learned their lesson and set a rule of not approaching within a hundred miles of the headquarters of the fifteenth district.

The long period of combat had caused great losses to both the evolvers and the ability users. The high-level officials of both sides began to have remote meetings through the repaired technology. After a month of back-and-forth, they simultaneously announced a ceasefire, with the time temporarily set for ten years. The areas occupied by both sides were also determined, with a buffer zone of up to two hundred kilometers in between.

Life and death in the buffer zone were not cared for, but conflicts with a scale of more than a hundred people were not allowed to break out.

Humans needed time to rest and recuperate, and the evolvers were also happy that they could have children and wanted to cultivate some offspring.

The current low-level zombies were almost as few as ordinary people. All that was left were the evolvers and the ability users. Both sides had their corresponding political power and civilization according to their own habits.

In the food chain, they had also almost reached a relationship of mutual need.

The evolvers coveted the flesh and blood of the ability users, and the ability users coveted the energy crystal nuclei in the evolvers’ heads.

This kind of relationship was destined to mean that the two sides could not coexist harmoniously. Unless there was an existence that could replace each other, this ceasefire would always be temporary.
