In the apocalypse, supplies are scarce and resources are depleted.
Viral contamination has caused mutated beasts to run rampant. Even humans can mutate and lose their humanity.
Wen Xu transmigrated here from modern civilization and became a kindergarten principal.
Since he wouldn’t have to spend all day fighting mutants, Wen Xu thought he’d landed an easy job.
But all the children at his kindergarten were born to mutated humans.
Most of them had strange personalities, and they could mutate at any moment, lose their humanity, and become mutants.
A powerless ordinary man and a group of abnormal little ones were at constant risk of being discarded by the Federation. Shortages of clothes, food, and medicine were the norm.
Wen Xu: I’m already here, so I might as well live one day at a time.
Wen Xu was an agricultural scientist. All he knew how to do was grow crops.
No food? He’d grow it himself. No medicine? He’d grow that, too.
The older kids hoed the fields, the middle group spread fertilizer, and the little ones sowed the seeds. Everyone had a clear role.
The children spent their days hoeing fields and their evenings working sewing machines to make their own clothes. They had endless chores to keep them busy.
They were so exhausted every day that they fell asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow. No matter how ill-tempered they were, they had no energy to cause trouble.
And so, on the soil of an apocalypse thick with the stench of death, the marginalized kindergarten flourished, quietly bursting with life.

Mutants attacked the safety island. The people there retreated in stages, and the Federation decided to abandon the kindergarten.
After a fierce battle, the kindergarten grounds were covered with the corpses of animal mutants, but not a single person was hurt.
The officer asked Wen Xu, “Did you do this?”
Still shaken, Wen Xu replied, “I-it was all the children.”
It turned out the children all had powerful abilities.
One child held up a big fish head and asked in a babyish voice, “Teacher Wen, we can bury these and use them as fertilizer, right?”
Wen Xu immediately put on a cheerful smile, pointed to a patch of empty ground, and said in a high-pitched voice, “Bury them over there. Whoever behaves best gets to choose what we plant once the soil is nice and fertile~”
The little ones answered in unison, “Okay~”
The kindergarten, once despised by everyone, instantly became a prize that every faction wanted to recruit.
