After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower
Chapter 181 - 179

Chapter 181: Chapter 179

As a Zhenhua Level Wood Power User, Pei Yuan’s companion plant was the Spirit Tree, which was part of the Attack System, and he always stayed by Li Pan’s side to protect her.

Li Pan had to protect the entire base, allowing combat superpower users some time to rest. Each opening of the barrier had to be timed; it couldn’t be too long, as that would deplete her superpower and cause trouble if she couldn’t keep up.

It also couldn’t be too short, as that wouldn’t allow superpower users to switch shifts and get some rest. Prolonged combat would rapidly deplete their superpower, so she had to find the right balance and prepare for a drawn-out battle.

When the barrier was closed, she would be unable to protect herself and vulnerable to attacks from Mutated Birds, so Pei Yuan had to stay by her side to prevent any sneak attacks.

The experienced Base Commander was responsible for the overall planning, with everyone playing their part and keeping busy. Ordinary people took care of fetching water and cooking, delivering food upwards, and arranging for the children to hide.

The men and superpower users formed teams and alternating shifts, fighting the enemy around the clock, while others stood down to rest, eat, and recover their superpower.

The base would distribute Food Potions or actual food to the rest Combat Superpower Users; both were available. Given the sudden crisis, they feared running short on Food Potions for prolonged combat and needed to use them sparingly.

There were also medicines for blood replenishment and superpower recovery; each superpower user had one bottle per day. They also distributed Food Potions and regularly provided food to everyone.

Li Pan herself could only replenish her medicine and recover her superpower when the barrier was open, choosing convenient and easy-to-eat food and trying to save Food Potions for the warriors.

Mutated Birds didn’t stop attacking, and there were wolf packs and dense, frightening swarms of snakes, tigers, and many other animals. Large animals led the assault, with smaller creatures following closely behind, constantly striking against the base’s protective nets.

Li Pan glanced at her farm and sighed deeply, not having the luxury to worry about the farm. Faced with a choice between two, she had to choose the base, to ensure a future for its residents.

What had become of the farm by now? Was Xue Dong there? Could the Spirit Plants survive?

Those were the Spiritual Medicines obtained with tremendous effort and sacrifice, sometimes even at the cost of bloodshed.

Taking a deep breath, she called out loud again, "The barrier is closing, get ready."

When the barrier reopened, many Mutant Animals that could fly or burrow were constantly breaching the gaps and holes to attack humans within the city.

Superpower users and warriors formed layers of defense, while ordinary people stood at their doorsteps, ready to slaughter any Mutant Animals that had sneaked in.

The barrier closure lasted about half an hour each time, giving Li Pan and the Star Tree time to recover their superpower. She was human, not a machine that could operate without pause.

This is how they resisted for three days; the Mutant Animals, unable to breach the defense, finally chose to retreat.

They had once again triumphed over the terrifying Mutant Animals.

Li Pan provided group healing for everyone, and some required further treatment at the hospital. But as long as they weren’t dead, there generally weren’t any major issues.

"Uncle, I’m going back to the farm to check on things; I’ll be right back."

"You go ahead, I’ll keep watch here."

Li Pan hurried back to the farm, first heading to the Spirit Plant Area to take a look.

Seeing Xie Ling guarding the Spirit Plant Area, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lingzi, you’ve been here the whole time; that’s great."

"Sis, don’t worry. I’ve been watching over it the whole time; everything’s fine,"

Xie Ling smiled at her.

"I need to go protect everyone at the base soon, so you’ll have to hold the fort here. Prioritize your lives above all else, and if necessary, abandon the Spirit Plants to save yourselves,"

"The barrier is set to the highest level, I can protect the Spirit Plants, don’t worry about it,"

Xie Ling shook her head, disagreeing with her statement. These Spirit Plants were precious, the foundation of the farm, and they could not be destroyed no matter what.

"I’ll go check on other places. Are they delivering food to you?"

"Yes, they’re bringing food, and I also have Food Potions and Recovery Potions. Don’t worry about me. Look, I’ve set up a stall here. In my free time, I can make medicines, and my success rate is even higher than usual. I’ve made a bunch, so when they come to deliver food, I distribute it to them,"

Xie Ling proudly boasted to her.

Li Pan stepped forward and hugged Xie Ling, "Take good care of yourself, and don’t skimp on the medicine. Stay fully prepared. Money can be re-earned, but if a person is gone, they’re really gone."

She repeatedly admonished and instructed her.

"I remember, sister, you take care of yourself too,"

Xie Ling stuffed her pockets with various potions.

Li Pan waved her hand and left, once again traversing through space to inspect the Spirit Plant Areas of the various farms.

The farm’s staff, each with their own duties, were protecting the farm well, with no major losses.

Li Pan spoke a few words to everyone through the broadcasting loudspeaker.

"Friends, this is Li Pan. I’m staying at the base to protect all the residents there as the tide of mutant animals is approaching. I thank you all for fighting to the death to protect the farm,"

"My request is simple, take good care of yourselves, and don’t skimp on medicine. Use the medicine first, others should allocate their tasks well, and the canteen should prepare better meals."

"Remember to prioritize your lives. If necessary, all the farmland and Spirit Plants can be abandoned. Your lives are the most important. As long as we are alive, the farm can be restored,"

"I’m sorry I can’t fight alongside everyone. The base’s residents need me more. There are the elderly, children, and many ordinary people there, I must stay. As a Zhenhua Level superpower user, I also have responsibilities I must perform. I am no longer just myself, thank you all for your support and affection. Let’s work hard together. I’m worried the next wave of mutant animal tides will come again, so everyone should hurry to eat and rest,"

The farm employees looked in the direction of the broadcast, their expressions solemn yet resolute and brave.

"The boss is going to protect the base. The farm is our home, our root. We will protect our homeland ourselves,"

A man spoke out loudly.

"Right, we’ll do it ourselves. The boss has her responsibilities, and we have our tasks,"

"We can’t let mutant animals destroy our homeland, the place we depend on for survival. I have a job here, a house, and savings. If anyone dares to destroy it, I’ll kill them,"

"Screw them up!"

Everyone was boosting morale.

"Come on, let’s allocate the tasks. The earlier distribution wasn’t detailed enough. We need people to set up the first line of defense in the Spirit Plant Area, and a second one too,"

"Those who deliver food are responsible for delivering Medicine. Xie Ling and Zhang Qi are in the Spirit Plant Area to protect the Spirit Plants and also make Medicine for everyone to use during the fight. All medicines are free to use during the battle, and the canteen is preparing good meals for everyone. The tents have also been set up nearby, so everyone can take turns resting,"

Xue Dong is at No. 6 Farm, protecting the Agricultural Research Institute’s Spirit Plant Area. This is also Li Pan’s hard work; although it’s now a joint venture, the farm itself was purchased by Li Pan, and the Spirit Plants were bought with her own money. The ownership still belongs to Li Pan, and in this joint venture, she has a 60% share, holding the initiative. This is a right given to her by the government, as well as a sign of trust.
