Why Not Cling to More Strong Allies in the Apocalypse?

Liu Ran was a fragile college student. She made it through finals and headed home, only to find the apocalypse waiting for her. As expected, a zombie took a bite out of her.

When she woke up again, she was dazed and slow, both in speech and in step.

Everyone thought she was an easy target. Thugs blocked her way, people shorted her on supplies and excluded her in public. She was a mindless zombie, so what did it matter if they bullied her?

Liu Ran tilted her head and slowly pointed behind them.

A tide of zombies stood arrayed like a mountain at the edge of the wasteland, utterly motionless. One woman controlled ten thousand zombies: a top-tier psychic, and Liu Ran's own big sister.

Engines roared as a top-of-the-line mecha tore through the clouds and landed. A mecha genius, and Liu Ran's own big brother.

A rift of deep blue split the air, and a little girl emerged, twirling a blade of space. A top-tier space wielder, and Liu Ran's own little sister.

Vines went wild across the barren earth, and wildflowers crowded the cracks in the concrete. The Mother of the Earth, and Liu Ran's best friend.

Everyone swallowed hard. “She... has powerful connections too?”

You bet! Please welcome her future stepdad candidates!

A special operations captain, a Western Theater commander, a headquarters political commissar... each one had a more terrifying rank than the last.

“Call out! I said, all of you, call out!”

A certain major bounced around in the crowd, yelping at the top of his lungs. “Me, me, me! Honey! Introduce me!”

Liu Ran's stiff lips curled into a faint smile. Her gray-white eyes blinked. “Big brother, I hear you want to protect me?”

She tilted her head and spoke slowly. “Sorry, you'll have to take a number and wait your turn.”
