Su Yu blew up.
Late in the previous apocalypse, an SSS-rank zombie appeared and tore the base she had worked so hard to build to shreds. She couldn’t take it anymore, so she detonated her crystal core and died alongside the zombie.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become a rebel exiled to the northern frontier.
And there was a violent stepson by her side? Su Yu killed him on the spot.
The System popped up and said, “Hello! The City Lord Development System has been activated. Please work hard to farm, build roads and houses, and win the people’s hearts. Turn the northern frontier into a prosperous territory!”
Su Yu looked at the shabby, twenty-square-meter house and the two days’ worth of dry rations in the pot. Then she looked outside at the northern frontier, a living graveyard where not a blade of grass grew, bandits roamed everywhere, refugees starved in droves, and sandstorms filled the sky.
System, are you serious? This place is worse than the apocalypse.
But it was no big deal. In her previous life, she had turned a base in the apocalypse into a paradise. This was her old line of work, after all. Practice makes perfect!
Besides, she was an ability user with water, earth, and wood powers: the ideal person to farm and build!
Others saw a living graveyard. Su Yu was determined to turn it into paradise.
