Apocalyptic Villain: Female Leads, Don't Even Think About Running

The Eastern Empire can only have up to one hundred thousand ability users, and they are limited by production capacity, generating a maximum of one or two hundred new ability users a day, relying purely on luck for selection.

However, I can't delay. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes.

The Eastern ability users in Xiacheng arrived with samples from the Eastern Empire, attempting to extract more information from Su Chen and simultaneously conducting experiments to improve their potion formula.

They had expected a period of peace after Su Chen's death, able to develop quietly, but another crisis emerged, forcing me to contemplate traveling to the Eastern Empire.

Based on their memories, only ten thousand potions can be produced daily with a 1% success rate, meaning the Eastern Empire can nurture 100 new ability users each day. The longer it drags on, the more ability users they will have.

Luckily, the current plan from the Eastern Empire only sent Taro Honda with thirty ability users and twenty researchers to Daxia. The ability users have been dealt with by me, but the whereabouts of the researchers are unknown.

According to Takeda's memory, communication is currently blocked. The next scheduled contact with the Eastern Empire is in a month, during which he will send someone to report to the Eastern military. If there is no report for two months, they will send people to Xiacheng to investigate.

This two-month window is something I can leverage.

However, the researchers are hidden in secret locations within Xiacheng, and even Takeda and his people are unaware of their whereabouts.

These twenty researchers pose the greatest threat to Xiacheng, as they have at least 20,000 zombie potions and even a few tubes of the zombie queen Yukihime's blood.

These memories were shared by me with all present team members, who looked at Su Chen's body with increasing disdain.

While I was battling the Eastern people, An Ziyu had been carried into the RV by team members; she bore dozens of knife wounds, her armor long having lost its protective function.

But even gravely injured, An Ziyu held onto her saber with a death grip.

"How is Ziyu?"

The team members outside, eyes red, couldn't straightforwardly answer my question. Seeing their expressions, I decided to check myself.

I entered the RV compartment directly to assess the situation, finding it necessary given our close relationship.

Inside, some team members were frantically helping Su Wei bandage An Ziyu's wounds, while Su Wei, drenched in sweat, used her ability to try to heal An Ziyu's injuries. An Ziyu's injuries were too severe, with dozens of cuts concentrated on her chest and back. Takeda's blow had pierced An Ziyu's abdomen, damaging several internal organs, far beyond what Su Wei could heal entirely.

I mentally probed An Ziyu's condition, noting massive blood loss. Without the chaotic Yin-Yang technique keeping her alive, she might not have survived. Internally, I cursed:

'Curse Takeda, even in death causing me trouble.'

I searched the system store for anything that could aid An Ziyu when the system alert chimed in my head:

[Congratulations on completing the fourth-level task of the Sky Tower, eliminating/only 10 mutated zombies.]

[Sky Tower's fourth level activated, enhancing the basic functionality of levels one, two, and three. Sky Tower's medical room function activated.]

[Fifth level task of Sky Tower released: eliminate 100,000 zombies, 100 mutated zombies/ability users, enhance other levels' basic functionality, activate Sky Tower's power system.]

[Congratulations, you've earned a long-range weapon blueprint (choose one of three), usable in the manufacturing room on the third floor of Sky Tower.]

Realizing I had forgotten about the medical room on the fourth floor, I felt relieved. It seemed the other groups had completed the zombie elimination target. Now, there was hope for An Ziyu.

To ensure nothing went wrong, I recalled the Sky Tower upgrade card obtained after killing Su Chen and directly upgraded Sky Tower to the fifth level.

This improvement would further enhance the fourth-level medical room, increasing the chances of saving An Ziyu.

Though using the card later would have been more advantageous, I couldn't afford to wait with An Ziyu's life at stake.

[Sky Tower's fifth level activated, power system enabled. Beginning integration with the stronghold, please avoid attacks—24-hour countdown initiated.]

[Sixth level task: eliminate 100,000 zombies, 100 mutated zombies/ability users, enhance other levels' basic functionality, activate Sky Tower's defense system.]

Fortuitously, the integration didn't impede its use; otherwise, my actions would have been counterproductive.

Interestingly, the sixth-level task mirrored that of the fifth, with no additional increase. Perhaps using the upgrade card prevented a rise in task difficulty.

The Sky Tower's area doubled, radiating golden light that enveloped the entire stronghold, beginning to fuse into a single structure.

The base of Sky Tower lifted the foundations of the entire stronghold, gradually forming a new structure. The surrounding walls of the stronghold now stood impressively tall, towering at about thirty meters.

"Hurry, get An Ziyu to the medical room on Sky Tower's fourth floor. There's still a glimmer of hope. I need to continue rescuing the other team members."

Su Wei appeared bewildered, her abilities seemingly ineffective in her current state of helplessness.

I handed ten stamina potions to Su Wei, noticing her troubled expression, and said:

"Along the way, give her these potions, and take her to the medical room; the equipment there will help you save An Ziyu."

I then whispered to Su Wei, making sure only she could hear:

"Su Chen's wrongdoings don't implicate you. If you want to atone for him, focus on healing the injured members of the stronghold."

Additionally, I subtly implanted orders in Su Wei's mind to prohibit her from leaving the stronghold and to help her gradually forget about Su Chen.

Watching as the RV drove out of sight, my Chaotic Yin-Yang technique allowed me to recover considerable stamina.

Although I've only regained about 20% of my strength, I'm more than capable of dealing with those intruders.

[Lucky Goddess system unrestricted: Blue-quality cards and below can now be upgraded without daily limits; higher-quality cards have three upgrade opportunities per day.]

Indeed, the lack within the Lucky Goddess system lay here.
