...
Woma Mall.
In the fast food restaurant, a TV was brasting the latest news.
"Global Health News!"
"Good afternoon, viewers. According to the World Health Organization, a new strain of the T-Virus has recently emerged in the Black Continent."
"Those infected become violent and aggressive."
"But what's puzzling is..."
Bzzt... bzzt...
The screen suddenly turned to static, likely due to a poor signal, and then switched to another channel on its own.
The news failed to attract attention in the dining area.
After all, with the poor sanitary conditions in the Black Continent, outbreaks were nothing new.
However, one young man stood out.
His brows were furrowed.
His face tense.
In stark contrast to the leisurely crowd around him.
"The T-Virus was first discovered in the Black Continent, but the first outbreak happened in my city—S City."
The young man muttered to himself.
His name was Xiao Yu, and he had just returned from a Reborn in the Apocalypse six months into the future.
Xiao Yu glanced at his phone.
May 12.
"Today, T-Virus-infected Zombies will appear in S City."
"And there won't be just a few."
"Luckily, the full outbreak won't happen for another ten days."
"I still have time to prepare."
Xiao Yu began calculating in his mind what preparations he could make with his current capabilities.
Orphan.
Warehouse employee at Woma Mall.
No car, no house, just a bit of savings.
"With my circumstances, the best I can do is buy some essential supplies and flee to a remote mountain area."
"But that would only solve the immediate crisis."
Because after the full-scale outbreak of the T-Virus, Zombies would continue to evolve.
They could swim.
They could dig.
Neither islands nor high walls could stop the evolved Zombies.
Survivors could no longer stay in one place.
They'd have to constantly wander and migrate.
"What should I do?"
Irritated, Xiao Yu lit a cigarette, ignoring the no-smoking signs in the mall, and took a puff.
Suddenly!
Ding...
A voice rang out in his mind.
["Goddess Task Force" binding to host Xiao Yu.]
[Kill one Zombie to activate.]
A system?
Just one Zombie kill and it activates?
Xiao Yu quickly sifted through his memories.
"At noon today, two cases of zombification will happen in Woma Mall. The first will be in the warehouse!"
He was one of the outbound employees in that very warehouse.
He remembered it vividly.
Judging by the time, it was about to happen now.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yu smashed the glass of the fire safety box with a kick, grabbed the Fire Axe inside, and charged toward the fifth floor under the shocked stares of the crowd.
The fifth floor was Woma Mall's warehouse.
Roughly the size of a basketball court, it stored a massive amount of supplies.
As he reached the warehouse door—
A woman's scream echoed from inside.
"Help—!"
"Manager Liu, no, please get away!"
Had the transformation already begun?
Xiao Yu rushed inside. Just like he remembered, the warehouse manager had turned into a Zombie and was chasing a Warehouse Girl.
That girl was An Xiaoran.
A loli with a baby face and a stunning figure.
Her skin was as smooth as porcelain.
And her chest so prominent she couldn't see her toes.
She was sweet-natured, and her smile was like a balm.
Any man who saw her would feel a criminal urge.
But that same proud figure had now become a burden.
She couldn't run fast.
An Xiaoran was tackled to the ground by Manager Liu. She felt death closing in.
Moments earlier, she had witnessed another warehouse worker being bitten to death, piece by piece.
His agonized screams still echoed in her ears.
Now, it was her turn?
"Ah—!"
Terror-stricken, An Xiaoran squeezed her eyes shut and screamed with all her might, trying to release the fear inside her.
Just then—
Crack!
A sound like bone shattering.
Followed by a man's voice:
"Get up, Xiaoran."
An Xiaoran slowly opened her eyes.
It was Xiao Yu!
He was holding a Fire Axe, its blade buried deep in Manager Liu's skull.
"Xiao Yu... sob sob..."
Overwhelmed with emotion, An Xiaoran collapsed in a flood of tears.
Xiao Yu ignored her.
Because in his mind, the notification sounded again.
[Ding! One Zombie killed. "Goddess Task Force" officially activated.]
Whew—
Finally, the system was online.
Xiao Yu stepped on Manager Liu's corpse and pulled the Fire Axe from his skull.
At the same time—
A stream of foreign information flowed into Xiao Yu's mind, giving him full understanding of the system.
According to the system,
As long as he recruited someone with a profession into his Team, he could activate their Occupational Attributes and Skills.
The more Team Members he had, the stronger they would all become.
But there were limits.
The Goddess Task Force—
As the name implied, only female professionals with good looks, figures, and charisma, and an Overall Score of no less than 95, were eligible.
So the system had a thing for beauty.
Not just anyone could join the Team.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu already had a suitable candidate in mind.
An Xiaoran!
Her looks spoke for themselves, and she worked as a warehouse manager—an actual profession.
Whether the system would recognize "Warehouse Girl" was another matter.
Only one way to find out.
"Xiaoran, give me your hand."
Without waiting for her consent, Xiao Yu grabbed her hands and activated his Captain-level Teaming permission.
[Ding! Team Matchmaking in Progress...]
[Name: An Xiaoran]
[Profession: Warehouse Girl]
[Overall Score: 95]
[Ding! Team conditions met. An Xiaoran has successfully joined the "Goddess Task Force."]

Success!
In an instant—
A surge of mysterious energy erupted from Xiao Yu's body, doubling all his attributes.
And the boost far exceeded his base stats.
It seemed to be calibrated to the level of a professional combat athlete.
