Definitely launching in 2024!
Blurb:
The research genius Jiang Miao transmigrates into a book after binding to a System, becoming a cannon-fodder lord in an apocalypse novel about warring factions.
According to the plot, her base will soon be attacked by a zombie riot. The people won't be able to leave to search for supplies, so they'll starve to death, and the base will quickly decline and disappear.
To keep the base's residents alive, Jiang Miao experiments through the night and goes all in on infrastructure and farming.
System: [Thicker city walls, base defense x3]
System: [Purified water source, vitality in the water x5]
System: [Rice ripened, energy after eating x8]
System: [...]
When the zombie riot arrives, everyone braces for battle.
Jiang Miao stands atop the tower, gripping a new weapon. Before she can attack, she sees the zombies take a bite out of the city wall and run away.
For a while afterward, the zombies keep repeating the same move.
Jiang Miao: This must be a zombie conspiracy. We can't stop building infrastructure and farming!
So the other bases watch helplessly as Jiang Miao's base grows stronger the more it is attacked by zombies.

At first
Base One: Base Nine is under attack by zombies. If Nine agrees to search for supplies for us for three years, we'll provide weapons support.
Base Three: The zombie riot has reached a danger level of 120. Nine should give up. If the residents manage to reach Three alive, we'll take them in.
Base Sixteen: If Lord Nine apologizes to our lord's wife, we'll consider air-dropping supplies.
Later
Base One: The zombie riot is spreading! Base One requests support from Nine. We'll give you all our weapons factories!
Base Three: Our soil and water sources are polluted. We request support from Nine. We'll submit unconditionally!
Base Sixteen: We've already removed our former lord. We apologize for our past recklessness and ignorance, and hope to receive aid from Nine!
Base Nine rises to become the top base in the apocalypse, no longer burdened by its former worries.
But Jiang Miao has a new concern: why are the zombies that bite the city walls starting to look more and more human?
Infrastructure-obsessed research genius heroine x Rebellious, ferocious lone-wolf hero
Both are each other's first and only.
A brainless, feel-good little story. The heroine is simply the best.
Theme: Hard work brings prosperity
