Surviving the Wasteland: Hoard Supplies, Grow Crops, and Win by Doing Nothing

Ji Zeke, an extreme introvert and research fanatic, was suddenly pulled into a real survival game in a wasteland. Resources were desperately scarce, and the land was crawling with monsters, zombies, pollution, radiation, natural disasters, and other threats. Death could come at any moment. The good news: Ji Zeke got the [Turn Trash into Treasure] talent. The bad news: the talent didn’t give him any combat ability. But that was fine. Researchers weren’t fond of fighting. Stockpiling raw materials and conducting research was his comfort zone. Mutant man-eating flowers? Collect five and plant them outside the shelter as guards. Stockpile! Terrifying zombies? Collect ten and combine them into a gold-grade wonder drug. Stockpile! Acid rain that corrodes everything? Collect twenty liters and combine them into a legendary chemical weapon. Stockpile! And so Ji Zeke collected unwanted junk, found ways to put it to use, and turned it into the seeds, medicine, weapons, and energy so scarce in the wasteland. He made a fortune. When the beginner phase ended, the wasteland game switched to brutal mode. Scorching heat, torrential rain, bitter cold, sandstorms, eternal night, zombie hordes, radiation... all kinds of natural disasters appeared without warning. While other players struggled to survive beneath the shadow of death, Ji Zeke had already built a sturdy, warm shelter, stocked it with mountains of supplies, and was leisurely waiting for the disasters to arrive. Of course, he knew that the wasteland’s threats weren’t limited to natural disasters and monsters. People could be dangerous, too. But that was fine. His modified zombie defense squad was no pushover... Douzhi’s friendly reminder: ① There’s a romance, and both leads are virgins.

But once their areas merge, they’ll definitely get close! ② There’s a System, but no supernatural abilities. ③ Paragraph comments are open. Come join in~ Please add my apocalypse supply-hoarding novel, I Have an Island in the Apocalypse, to your favorites ⭐♥ One hundred days before the apocalypse, Sui Xin was reborn. In his previous life, he had just inherited an island when disaster struck and the world fell into ruin. At the urging and pleading of his friends and relatives, Sui Xin let them onto the island. But his good deed did not bring him a happy ending. He fattened them up, only to starve to death himself. This time, Sui Xin wanted to live differently. He would put away his kindness, stay away from people, and lie low on his deserted island until the apocalypse ended. But at the same time, he wanted to make up for one regret from his previous life and accept Chu Yichuan’s confession. The apocalypse was merciless, and the island desolate. But two people in love could withstand any hardship together. - Douzhi’s friendly reminder: ① Set in a fictional world, with no connection to reality. ② There are supernatural abilities and a System. Both the island and the protagonist will level up. ③ A double-rescue romance that unfolds gradually. Theme: A crisis can be a turning point, and even in desperation, there is hope.
