"Boss Wei, see? We worked extremely hard to finally create this precious object!"

So, don't go complaining to Shen Hao about our performance!

​​

Laying in the fluffy and soft body of the huge panda, Xiao Wei remains quiet while giving a lazy glance at the smiling Tan Xue wearing a white coat in his body. At the same time, behind Tan Xue, the group of old geezers, crazy-looking women, and young men with dark bags was smiling in a flattering manner.

Without speaking a word, Xiao Wei slowly reaches his hand over, in which Tan Xue swiftly offers a fluffy black earmuff with the materials mostly made from the foreign creature's griffon body part, such as the soft black fur that was in the tip of its tail.

"This will definitely help cancel out unneeded noise around you!"

Although the precious material was used to create an earmuff, however, in everyone's opinion, it wasn't a waste and useless move.

After all, the earmuff was created to save everyone from insanity and breaking down from stress because of the young man's action of constantly monitoring their every move while softly complaining that the world is noisy.

Of course, there is also the fact that the young man has a rather unpredictable attitude, unexpected mood swings that will suddenly spring up, and crazy ideas that would definitely affect the people around him.

Basically, everyone with an important task, great responsibility, and certain role in the Base already figured out that one of their Bosses has a mental problem with a terrifyingly high IQ.

"Boss, how is it? Would you want the earmuff to be modified into a different design?"

We already figured out that you have the habit of playing innocent and harmless so we choose a soft and adorable design for the earmuff.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, while laying upon the enormous panda back, Xiao Wei lazily moves the object in his hand and scrutinizing it with a half-lidded crimson eye, completely causing the group of researchers that has been subdued to sweat in nervousness.

"Boss, don't worry about the hardness of the earmuff, we carefully use the special parts from the mutated foreign creature that Lord Hao had taken down. The hidden communication tool and other features had also been carefully hidden, anyone would only consider the earmuff as a normal item instead of it being an amazing tool."

Although Tan Xue still felt nervous, he couldn't help but continue to speak in utter excitement while introducing the first tool they managed to create just in the short time at the beginning of the Apocalypse.

"Although we have the communication panel for wide range communication but only a few people can use it. So after we finish Boss Wei items, we will begin to start creating a communicating tool with a different design."

It will be basically used for the group of people traveling outside the Base to investigate the entire surrounding. Especially when the environment in the world is slowly changing, along with the appearance of dangerous mutated creatures.

"..."

While Tan Xue cannot stop the explanations, along with some of the group of people who sometimes speak their own thoughts, Xiao Wei has finally put the earmuff in his ears and inwardly sighing at how soft it felt.

At the same time, he notices how the earmuff can really block some of the unneeded noise he doesn't want to hear, causing the massive headache to lessen and decreasing the stress and pressure from his highly active mind that doesn't take a break from over-analyzing and thinking.

Although Xiao Wei preferred an absolute silence in his surroundings, it would only lead to danger to his life. Even blocking half of the noise will cause him to become less alert to the surroundings, fortunately, there is an amazing Little Cutie with a far better instinct, so he can relax a bit.

Particularly when he is in his own Base with his own people and no new stranger has arrived yet to cause trouble. So he can finally fulfill his dream of being a salted fish for a bit longer.

Honestly, why did I suddenly think of training myself for a future situation where I have no calming medicine? Should I take the medicine stored in my dimension space? … Maybe, I have a masochist tendency???

Xiao Wei couldn't help but start doubting his decision not to take the calming medicine despite having it in his dimension. However, when he gazes at the zero points in Black System, well he can only continue to face the problem of the body he is using.

"Don't forget Brother Blue earmuffs."

We needed to have a couple of accessories.

Xiao Wei completely disregards the fact that he has broken up with Shen Hao in the Abnormal Island before finally leaving the research facilities in the second Villa with the obedient Bao after receiving the group of researchers with a loud yes.

Of course, not before leaving a sentence that caused Tan Xue's face to turn crimson either from anger and embarrassment, or it could be both.

"No flirting while working."

"...!!!"

Ahh! My built-up prestige! How could you casually say that in front of others???

For a job well done of being a responsible Boss, Xiao Wei has once more silently roamed around the Base causing the people working around to perform more than 100%. At the same time, silently checking the bent guys in the communication panel in the Territory Panel System.

Despite being caught already, some of the group of bent guys just don't learn, completely forgetting the punishment they receive from Shen Hao and continuing to flirt with the people they are chasing without a second thought.

Love can really make a person stupid huh… I suddenly miss my Brother Blue…

Xiao Wei silently sighs, nonetheless, he prefers to remain in the Base, laying down in his adorable panda soft and fluffy body while managing the people working around instead of traveling outside the Base because of the daily task needed to upgrade the special skill that Savy has received.

Although there is a great cheat system that could help Xiao Wei's mission of saving the human race from being extinct, it doesn't mean that everything has become easier, there are countless considerations, planning, and actions needed to take.

"... It's just the beginning of the Apocalypse and it's already a pain in the neck."

Finally arriving in the third villa, the traditional Asian residence, Xiao Wei has finally gotten off from the adorable panda and has slowly gone to the restricted room that only a few people can enter.

And without hesitation, he sat down at the comfortable chair in the middle of the room, where he was able to gaze upon the countless screens with high technology spread all over the place.

"Boss Wei! Would you like a snack?"

Xiao Wei nodded his head before picking up the fresh baked cookies that were placed next to his chair, at the same time, observing how the youngest in the group of the bent guys has gently given a basket full of bamboo shoot toward Bao that had laid in the side of his comfortable chair.

… I wonder if this young man would become bent too?

Among the people in the group chat, only Qian Ru and Hou You didn't have a partner yet, as for the possibility of the two of them becoming lovers, well, Xiao Wei only saw how the two men treat each other as a family rather than a possible lover.

… It would be interesting if a love triangle occurred between them though hehehe….

Despite the shameless thought running in Xiao Wei's mind, the expression on his face remains eerily calm with his crimson eyes half-lidded while casually eating the cookies in his hand.

"How are the other bases faring?"

Xiao Wei calmly removes one of the earmuffs on his ears to clearly hear Hou You report, at the same time, opening his phone to communicate with Shen Hao since the System Panel for communication doesn't work because the signal is out of range.

It just meant that Shen Hao has traveled further, causing the new location that has been investigated was just being stored in the System Data and after a few hours, the communication Panel would work again when it was completely analyzed and stored.

"It's the usual situation… although some of the Leaders planned to put a group of people to travel and rescue the closest town and village around their Base."

Xiao Wei half-lidded crimson eyes suddenly widened with a chill flashing upon it, at the same time, completely swallowing the cookie in his mouth.

"Are they looking for death? Besides, do they think that their Base is more well-protected and sturdier than mine so it doesn't matter what was already discussed before the Apocalypse?"

There is still Shen Hao's third brother outside, and yet, they couldn't easily make a move and run a rescue team. Especially when at the beginning of the Apocalypse after the natural disasters, the entire environment is mutating.

A mountain would suddenly become barren with the entire soil turning dry. Or a forest becoming lush and dense, but it can contain poisonous plants or full of mutated animals and plants.

There is also a fact that some parts of the mainland would have permanent weather that wouldn't stop. For example, endless snow continues falling day and night or a lake turning into a lake full of magma instead of water.

Basically, the entire environment would become chaotic where no one completely knows what it contains. Even Xiao Wei doesn't have full access and information to the situation all over the country, it's the entire reason why there is a need to investigate the task given by the System.

Fortunately, the town, or where people usually live wouldn't suddenly be affected by the unexpected change in the entire world. In which there is an endless snowstorm. So only the surrounding environment would turn abnormal and have a great change.

Patting the adorable panda, Xiao Wei waves his hands, which Hou You have instantly understood, quickly turning on the communication tool that connected to the other Bases all over the Northern part of the Country.

It was what Shen Hao had given after meeting and examining the future leaders of the base that would shelter the human survivors.

"Boss Wei, as soon as the communication is on, everyone would consider that it's Brother Hao that was on the screen and speaking."

Xiao Wei nodded his head, although he is considered one of the Bosses in their Base, aside from the people who already know, most of the new people would assume that the only reason why he is one of the leaders is because of his intellect rather than being strong.

Of course, there is also the fact that the Base Location belongs to him with a good amount of materials. Basically, he doesn't have a powerful attacking ability is what he wanted everyone to assume.

"Listen here, don't assume that just because it's Apocalypse that I would not be able to travel fast to get to where you guys are. If you don't follow the plan that had been prepared a long time ago then we won't have anything to do with each other and the communication will be shut off."

Xiao Wei's voice remains calm as he leaves a threatening message toward every base that has been set up. And yet, the crazed emotions that have suddenly burst from his crimson eyes cause Hou You to back away and hide in the corner.

… Ah… the predicted storm has finally appeared!!!

"You are the future leaders chosen for the sake of the survival of the human race so be firm and steady. Face the reality that you can't save everyone. Besides, it's not even the proper time to start a rescue team. So, if you want to have a better chance of living, quickly focus on building a sturdy and powerful wall around your base."

What's the point of having more people when the base is about to be destroyed from the sudden appearance of the mutated beast and plants? There is a reason why building a thick and sturdy wall around the Base is the first one among the countless others to be done!

Xiao Wei felt his head throbbing after speaking a lot of words, especially when dealing with a group of people that didn't follow the plan that had been discussed.

While the emotion he managed to suppress couldn't help but become uncontrollable the longer he spoke in the communication tool. Even though sleeping in the arms of Shen Hao had given him great comfort and peace, however, the physical and mental problems of the body he is using shouldn't be underestimated.

There is a reason why the original Xiao Wei had become insane in the story.

This original villain's physical and mental problem is really troubling… I need to release my pent-up stress… should I push down Brother Blue again after he comes back?

"What's the point of rescuing someone if they are going to die in the end since the Shelter that should keep them safe is unable to do it? If you can't handle the heavy responsibility, give up your right as the Leader and appoint a better person that is more capable than you."

There is time for sympathy and kindness, and in the present situation, it isn't the right time. Everyone is now living in a cruel world.

"This will be my Last Warning, don't think I couldn't do anything to you just because of the distance between the Bases. I'll give you three days to consider the responsibility you held, inform me if you want to give up or continue."

Without waiting for anyone to reply, the communication has quickly turned off.

If it was not for the sake of trusting Shen Hao's choice of choosing those people as the leaders, Xiao Wei would have changed those bunch of foolish people that wouldn't follow the plan.

After all, there is no way that there wasn't any emergency planned Xiao Wei prepared after considering that the Leaders that had been chosen would suddenly behave wrongly.

"Tsk, a bunch of bad kiddos. Ah… I'm going crazy…"

Xiao Wei couldn't help but grasp his hair after the throbbing increased, at the same time, already considering what to do to release some of the stress.

"Host! An important task has just appeared on the mission list! There is a time limit, please take care of it since Host Hao is far away and couldn't do it."

It's time to stop being lazy~

Suddenly, Black voice echoed out in their mental link, causing Xiao Wei to slowly release the grip on his long crimson hair before leaning back in the comfortable chair without any strength.

So, I'm going to finally stop being salted fish?
