Zheng Wenhao’s team was named very awesomely, the Heaven-Defying Team, but it was a pity that they were helpless when they encountered mutant plants and animals, let alone the Heaven-Defying things. They were scared to death and ran away, not to mention collecting supplies. The weapons in their hands were unconsciously thrown away when they fled.
The members of this team were useless and selfish, timid and afraid of death. They couldn’t even do such a simple thing as collecting supplies. Han Ze didn’t want their lives, but he didn’t plan to keep them for nothing. He planned to use them reasonably and let them clean up the villa he had cleared out, in case he had too many sons and daughters in the future and had no place to live.
Zheng Wenhao looked at the embarrassed appearance of the team members, feeling ashamed. He didn’t expect that the Heaven-Defying Team, which he was proud of, was actually a group of waste.
He had always thought that the reason why they were suppressed by Han Ze and had no power to fight back was because Han Ze had a treasure that could control animals and plants. As for the strength of their team, he was absolutely confident. Now that the mutant animals and plants outside were no longer under Han Ze’s control, they were in such a mess. How did they survive these few months in the apocalypse?
Suddenly he thought that the reason why the team was able to survive in the apocalypse was because he was a transmigrator who could predict the future and knew where there were dangers. He took them to avoid them one by one.
In the first few months of the apocalypse, because of his strong ability to avoid danger, although they survived, they had few opportunities to kill zombies, and their supernatural powers were not sufficiently exercised and upgraded.
They had not originally faced mutant plants and animals, and the mutant plants and animals here were very strong. When they encountered these mutant plants, they had no ability to fight back. In his opinion now, it was too normal, because they were useless and not as strong as they imagined.
How could he become the protagonist just because he had the dream of the protagonist and just because he knew the plot and robbed the protagonist’s golden finger? He did not have the life of the protagonist, or the intelligence of the protagonist. He was originally just an ordinary high school student, a poor student who could not get into college without studying hard. How could he become the protagonist in the world of the book? Novels are really lies.
Han Ze didn’t plan to make do with dinner. Since Yuan Ye could cook and they had collected so much food, let him cook. Although Han Sanpang could breathe fire, he had done so much work in the afternoon. Han Ze thought he should take a rest. Xianxian would provide them with bath water at night, so he asked the fire and water supernaturals in the Heaven-Defying team to come out to help cook. They were surprised. The meal was ready. Could they eat it too?
Han Ze glanced at them, looked at Yuan Ye and said, “Let them provide you with water and fire, and give each of them a raw potato and let them cook it.”
The potatoes produced by Han Doudan were the size of four fists of adult men. After washing and boiling with water, they could be eaten. Without seasoning, the taste might not be too good, but in the end times, as long as they were not hungry, no one cared about the taste. Moreover, these were the potatoes produced by Han Doudan, which must have tasted better than those potatoes before the end times. It was a bargain for them to eat them.
When Liu Cheng, a fire-type superpower, and Hu Yuan, a water-type superpower, heard his words, their excitement instantly disappeared. Zheng Wenhao was hung on a tree, and no one gave them food or water. Their stomachs were already dry. They protested, potatoes are potatoes, so even if a potato can’t fill their stomachs, they won’t starve.
Hu Yuan was a little unwilling, looked at Liu Cheng and said: “Why do we provide water and fire, and they can get a potato without doing anything?”
Hu Yuan didn’t mention this, and Liu Cheng didn’t plan to say anything before because they were on the same team. He still had complaints in his heart. Since Hu Yuan spoke up, he looked at the other team members and said: “Yu Hu, Ma Qian, what do you think?”
Ma Qian pouted. She didn’t have any special abilities, couldn’t cook, and couldn’t do housework. After the Apocalypse, she hooked up with Qiang Zi with her beauty. Now that she has lived to this day, Qiang Zi is unreliable. She wanted to seduce Han Ze again, but who knew that Han Ze was not tempted by women at all.
Knowing nothing doesn’t mean she has to sit and wait for death. It’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on mountains. Thinking of this, she stood up, looked at Han Ze and said, “Mr. Han, I’m an ordinary person. I don’t know anything, but I’m willing to learn. I can learn to wash clothes, cook, and clean.”
Han Ze frowned and looked at her. At this moment, Yuan Ye said, “Can you be reasonable, woman? Brother Han has already given me the laundry and cooking work at home. Are you going to steal my job?”
Ma Qian didn’t care about his tone and said, “Mr. Han has a lot of children. How can you handle it alone? It will be easier for you if you have more people to help you. I don’t have any other requirements. I just don’t want to go hungry every day.”
Yuan Ye looked at her with disdain. He said to her: “Not being hungry in the apocalypse is more difficult than making money before the apocalypse, and that’s not asking for anything else.”
Ma Qian didn’t look at him, and didn’t care about the sarcasm in his words. She looked at Han Ze. Han Ze thought for a while and said, “Then you can work with Yuan Ye. Don’t forget to water Ping Ping and Lili. Let Xian Xian get some sun every day. As for Han Doudan, make a place for him to produce potatoes. As for Dai Mao and San Pang, they eat more. You not only have to cook for us, but also be responsible for feeding them.”
There are so many things to do, and it may not be enough for the two of them. After all, no one knows whether there will be sons and daughters who will come to recognize their father in the future.
Ma Qian showed joy on her face, and she asked in disbelief: “Han, Mr. Han, do you agree?”
Han Ze nodded, “I agree, but you can’t be lazy.”
Yuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn’t take his job and more people helped him share the work, he would be stupid not to agree.
Ma Qian was so happy that she hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of the young masters and young ladies, and I will make sure that they will not suffer any grievances.”
Han Ze said lightly, “I hope you will do what you say.”
Considering that this woman had seduced him in front of his children, he didn’t have a good impression of this woman, but everyone makes mistakes. This woman now wants to earn a living through her own labor, which makes him feel that this woman has her merits, at least she can bend and stretch.
The other team members did not expect Ma Qian to achieve her goal so easily. Their faces all changed, especially the two ordinary team members without superpowers, who looked at Ma Qian with unwillingness. Why didn’t they speak before Ma Qian? If they spoke first, would Han Ze agree to let them exchange labor for food?
Ma Qian ignored their complaints. Opportunities need to be fought for by themselves, and Han Ze did not say that he did not need help from others. They were all adults. If they did not take the initiative to ask, did they still need her to help them ask?
Yu Hu gritted his teeth, looked at Han Ze and asked, “Young Master Han, is there anything we can help you with?”
Although Han Ze had already made arrangements for them, he still raised his eyebrows and asked them, “What can you do?”
As a superpower, they couldn’t even collect supplies without zombies. What else could he expect them to do?
Yu Hu was ashamed, and he also knew that they had been abandoned since the Apocalypse and had not been trained in time.
Han Ze glanced at him and said, “Han Yi and I will check whether there are any mutant plants and animals in the villa in front, and you will clean up the supplies in the villa in the back. This should be okay, right?”
Yu Hu blushed and said awkwardly, “Food…”
Han Ze said lightly, “I won’t let you go hungry.”
Yu Hu was relieved.
The other team members were happy. They looked at Liu Cheng and Hu Yuan proudly. The two were slightly uncomfortable, and then looked at Ma Qian. They also had work to do, so they didn’t have to worry about going hungry, nor did they have to envy others. Ma Qian didn’t care about their little thoughts. The fact that they could find work to do showed that Han Ze didn’t want their lives. There was nothing to be proud of.
Zheng Wenhao was stunned. He shouted, “What about us? What about us?”
Han Ze looked up and said, “You guys continue to hang there.”
Zheng Wenhao was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. “You should give us something to eat, otherwise we will really starve to death.”
Han Ze looked at him with a half-smile: “Don’t you have a space?”
Zheng Wenhao had a bitter face. His limbs were tied up. Even if he could control the space with his consciousness and take things out of the space, he couldn’t eat them.
Han Ze ordered: “Pingping, let them each eat an apple.”
Pingping was a little unwilling, and stretched out her branch in front of Han Ze to show that she wanted him to comfort her. Han Ze touched her branch and said gently: “Give them an apple to eat, and keep them alive so that we can relieve our boredom.”
Pingping shouted sullenly: “Dad!”
She was still a little reluctant, but she was a good daughter, and she would listen to whatever her father said.
Han Ze couldn’t bear the aggrieved look. Girls should be pampered. After thinking for a while, he said, “Forget it. Let’s give them some potatoes later.”
Han Doudan felt a little aggrieved when he heard what he said. His potatoes were for his father and eldest brother. He felt very aggrieved to give them to that group of people, but that was his father’s intention. Now he had to give them to the two people who were hanging. Sister Pingping didn’t want to. His father actually sacrificed him. He wailed. His father didn’t care about him.
Hearing his crying, Han Ze had a headache. Can potatoes cry? He said, “Give them potatoes today, apples tomorrow, and pears the day after tomorrow. Is that okay?”
As for pampering his daughter, forget it. They are either mutant plants or mutant animals. Although they are all ignorant children, they are stronger than his father, so he should treat them equally.
After that, Han Ze led a group of sons of different races to check the situation of the villa one by one. In the previous two days, Pingping, Lili, and Xianxian could still tolerate their father’s long absence from the villa. When their father led a group of sons to set off again, they refused to agree and clamored for their father.
The branch with fruits stretched out in front of Han Ze, feeling very aggrieved and wanting comfort. Han Ze touched the branch and said, “Be good, I can accompany you after the villa is cleaned up.”
Pingping and Lili were reluctant. Suddenly, there was a sound of cracking outside. Han Ze and his friends were startled and ran outside. Seeing the situation outside, they opened their mouths in shock. Pingping and Lili jumped in front of them with their long roots. Zheng Wenhao and Qiang Zi shouted loudly on top of them. After a while, Han Ze found his own language: “Pingping Lili, can you still get out of the soil?”
Pingping and Lili’s tree body swayed from side to side. Along with their shaking, they heard their happy voices calling for dad and Zheng Wenhao and Qiang Zi’s frightened voices.
Han Ze: “…”
So two more fruit daughters joined the team that cleaned up the villa.
It took about half a month to clean up the villa area. After the cleaning, as expected, Han Ze had a group of sons and daughters of different races, such as cat daughters, dog sons, cabbage daughters, pepper sons, tomato daughters, banana daughters, soybean daughters, etc. He didn’t meet any other living people.
Han Ze had long been accustomed to the animals and plants that popped up from time to time to recognize him as his father, and his home almost became a kindergarten.
With more children, there are more people to manage them. After the Heaven-Defying team cleaned up the villa, they had nothing to do, and they had to eat, so they volunteered to become their full-time nanny.
Zheng Wenhao felt strange, why did they clean up the villa but didn’t get the alien energy crystal? Could it be that Han Yi really couldn’t become the protagonist because of his appearance? Since he transmigrated into the book, although he couldn’t become the protagonist, but he still changed the fate of the protagonist in the book? How will the Apocalypse develop in the future?
After cleaning up the villa, Han Ze and his son spent a few days in decadence, and they felt that this was not a solution. Although the villa was self-sufficient, it still took some courage to hide in it for the rest of their lives without any contact with the outside world. Besides, even if he didn’t go out, his mutant children also needed to go out and see the world. With their protection, Han Ze felt that he could go out and see the world.
Han Ze and his son took Han Daimao, Han Sanpang, Han Xiaomao, Han Siha, and Han Lala out of the villa area. The zombies did not leave, but Huicheng was not big, nor was it small, with a population of more than 15 million. The tens of thousands of zombies surrounding the villa area were just a small minority, but Han Ze took a quick look and found that the number of zombies had been reduced by at least one third. He looked at Han Daimao: “Xiao Daimao, have all the other zombies left?”
[Ok, so Daimao means Big Devil (often used in video games to signify boss), Sanpang means Three Fat, Siha means Four Bark (as ha is also classified as barking), Xiaomao means Little Cat and Lala means Butterfly.]
Han Daimao howled a few times, then rushed to a zombie like a shadow, and a knife appeared in his hand. He was still a gold-type zombie with superpowers, so he chopped off the zombie’s head, dug out the crystal core from its head, and wanted to eat it right away, but he remembered that his father and eldest brother didn’t like him to be dirty, so he asked Han Sanpang to spit out a bottle of mineral water, and he washed it and ate it.
Han Ze asked him: “Have all the reduced zombies been killed by zombies stronger than them and eaten the crystal cores?”
Han Daimao jumped up and down: “Eat crystal cores, eat crystal cores.”
Han Yi sighed: “Where there is a world of rivers and lakes, there is competition. The competition is even more intense when humans become zombies. Those who die die, and those who are not dead eat crystal cores and become stronger. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak.”
Han Ze said with relief: “Fortunately, we have Daimao and others. Otherwise, this place would have become the burial place of us father and son.”
Han Yi looked at them gently and said with a smile: “They are all my brothers and sisters.”
The zombies were a little agitated when they saw Han Ze. If it weren’t for Han Daimao suppressing them, they would definitely swarm over. Suddenly, a male zombie in his forties ran over, walked up to Han Ze, and shouted: “Dad.”
Han Ze: “…”
He is 36 years old this year. No matter how precocious he is, he can’t give birth to a son older than him.
Han Yi chuckled. The uncle zombie in his forties looked at Han Yi: “Brother.”
Han Yi: “…”
Joy turns to sorrow.
Well, Han Ze has another son who is in his forties. Han Ze just treats him as if he doesn’t exist. This son, he feels quite stressed to accept this.
They didn’t drive. Han Siha enlarged his body to carry Han Ze, Han Sanpang carried Han Yi, Han Daimao directly picked up Han Lala and followed them, Han Xiaomao shrank his body and squatted on Han Yi’s shoulder. They were very fast. In a few minutes, they ran several miles. It might not be so fast even if they drove.
The further they walked outside, the more Han Ze felt that his ability could be used everywhere, because he found that even if they were more than ten miles away from the villa area, any mutant animals and plants on the road would show their affection to him. He was relieved and worried. It’s okay to have more children. He really didn’t want to be the Father God that Xiao Yi said. He had children all over the world. Just thinking about it made his scalp numb.
Entering the city, Han Yi said, “Dad, there is a supermarket in front. Let’s go to the supermarket to take a break and see if there are any supplies.”
This is a small supermarket with the door closed. Han Ze looked inside from the window and saw some snacks placed messily on the shelves. Han Ze frowned: “Is there anyone else in there?”
Han Yi followed Han Ze’s gaze and said, “It’s very likely.” After a pause, he patted the door of the supermarket and asked loudly, “Is there anyone there?”
Han Ze looked at him, “Since there is someone there, let’s go.”
“Wait, wait.”
A voice came from inside. Han Ze and Han Yi looked at each other, and the door of the supermarket was opened. A young man and woman came out. They looked at Han Ze and his son with vigilance in their eyes, and saw the mutated animals and plants behind them.
They stepped back in fear.
Han Ze raised his eyebrows. If they were afraid, why did they open the door for them? But he still said, “They won’t hurt you, don’t worry.”
The man and woman smiled slightly, still with fear in their eyes, but they didn’t step back.
Han Yi asked, “Is this supermarket yours?”
The young man and woman nodded. Han Yi looked at Han Ze and said, “Since it’s yours, let’s find another place to rest.”
Han Ze nodded in agreement. The man and woman hurriedly said, “You can rest inside, but if you leave, you have to take us with you.”
Han Yi looked at him and said, “It’s just a place to rest. Why should we agree to your conditions?”
The boy said, “I got a satellite phone that can contact the outside world. Our families are gone, and the satellite phone is useless. If you need it, I can help you contact your family. But if you leave, you have to take us with you, no matter where you go, as long as there are humans.”
It was too lonely to be alone here with only the two brothers and sisters. Even if they were strangers, they wanted to go back to the crowd.
Han Ze became interested. He asked, “Can the phone call reach Beijing?”
The boy nodded, “Do you want to call Beijing?”
Han Ze looked at Han Yi, “It’s the Apocalypse, and I don’t know if your grandfather is still alive…”
Han Yi said firmly, “Grandpa must still be alive.”
Han Ze sighed, “If your grandfather can survive tenaciously, I will never quarrel with him again.”
Han Yi felt that it was impossible. Dad hated grandpa for finding women outside, which made grandma angry to death. How could the two not quarrel?
Han Ze looked at Han Yi, “Xiao Yi, do you remember your grandpa’s phone number?”
Han Yi nodded, “I remember, the phone number was before the Apocalypse, and I don’t know if I can get through. Let’s try it.”
Unexpectedly, they met someone with a satellite phone when they walked out of the villa. It must be said that they were very lucky.
…
In Beijing, Mr. Han was holding the phone and lamenting, wondering where his eldest son and his family had gone, why didn’t they tell him the news… He felt sorry for his dead wife, as he had lost his son and his family. Thinking of this, he took out a tissue to wipe his wet eyes. Suddenly, the phone in his hand vibrated. He was startled, wiped his eyes, and looked back at the phone in his hand. It was indeed vibrating. Could it be his son calling?
His heart was pounding. He took a deep breath and answered the phone. There was a lot of noise on the line. He asked cautiously with a bit of nasal voice, “Hello, who are you?”
Han Yi looked at Han Ze excitedly. When the call was connected, he said, “Hello, Grandpa, it’s Han Yi.”
Grandpa Han stood up suddenly, a look of surprise on his face. He shouted, “Xiao Yi? Xiao Yi, where are you? Where are your mother, father and sister?”
Speaking of his mother and sister, Han Yi’s eyes were red and he choked up, “Mom and sister, they’re gone… Dad is with me, he’s fine, Grandpa, you don’t have to worry.”
When Grandpa Han heard that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter were gone, his hand holding the phone trembled slightly. When he heard that his son was still there, he wiped away his tears. Fortunately, at least Han Ze and Han Yi were still there. He should be content.
Han Rui came back from outside and saw the old man with a happy face. He asked casually, “Grandpa, did anything good happen?”
Old Man Han looked at him and said with a smile, “Han Yi just called me…”
It’s not that he is cold-hearted. He could still laugh even though his granddaughter and daughter-in-law were gone. It’s just that he hadn’t heard from his eldest son’s family for such a long time. He already had a bad feeling deep in his heart about whether they were still alive. Now he heard that Han Ze and Han Yi were still alive, which was an unexpected surprise. How could he not be happy?
Han Rui interrupted him suddenly. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. He scratched his ear and asked, “Grandpa, who did you say called you?”
Old Man Han’s face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. Thinking that Han Ze and Han Yi were still there, he saw that Han Rui’s face also had a good look, and said with a smile, “Han Rui, Han Yi just called me. Your uncle and Han Yi are still alive.”
“Han Yi is still alive? How is that possible?”
He has been paying attention to Han Yi after the Apocalypse. With that transmigrator around, Han Yi has not awakened any superpowers, and Huicheng has been besieged by zombies. How could they still be alive? Han Rui didn’t believe it. He thought that the old man might be hallucinating because he wanted to find his uncle’s family too much.
Old Man Han picked up his cane and hit him. Han Rui dodged it alertly. Old Man Han didn’t hit him and said angrily, “I think you just can’t stand your uncle’s family being well off.”
Han Rui frowned. The old man’s words hurt his heart. Fortunately, he was not the real Han Rui, so he didn’t feel anything. But looking at the old man’s expression, could it be that Han Yi and Han Ze were really still alive? But how could it be possible? Besides, even if they were still alive, they were just ordinary people. How could ordinary people find a phone to call their grandfather? It didn’t make sense.
Old Man Han snorted coldly and said, “Whether you believe it or not, I’m going to pick them up myself.”
Han Rui narrowed his eyes and asked, “Grandpa, where are you going to pick them up?”
Old Man Han said without thinking, “Huicheng.”
Han Rui said, “I’ll go with you.”
He wanted to see what Han Yi had experienced and how he could survive the zombie siege.
He doesn’t believe in the protagonist’s halo. He has done so many missions in so many worlds. Which world doesn’t have a protagonist? In the end, he still wins.
Although Han Yi had some problems here, he didn’t die in his budget. In his opinion, these are all minor problems. No matter whether Han Yi is dead now or not, he will die sooner or later.
Grandpa Han’s face looked better. This kid can finally be saved. It’s the apocalypse. Brothers should help each other so that their family can survive well in this end of the world.
Han Yi hung up the phone, looked at Han Ze, and said blankly: “Dad, Grandpa said he would come to pick us up and take us back to Beijing.”
Han Ze said indifferently: “I don’t plan to go back to Beijing. It’s good that your grandpa is coming. Let him stay here with us.”
Han Yi: “…”
