Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

Morning.

Inside the third-floor gym of the base office building.

A robust figure, bare-chested and clad only in athletic pants, was practicing pull-ups, gripping the bar with one hand.

Undoubtedly, this person was none other than Qin Jin, the leader of the base.

A small puddle had already formed on the floor.

It wasn't because he had wet himself.

It was his sweat; beads streamed down his shoulders and back, muscles forged of steel, flowing smoothly to the ground.

“991...992...993...994....”

A mumble escaped his lips.

“...1000.”

Having just reached a thousand, as if completing his goal, he released his reddened right hand and dropped back to the ground.

“Hoo—”

A heavy breathing sound emanated from his nostrils, his entire body flushed, resembling a ferocious beast ready to devour anyone at any moment.

Since the apocalypse began, his physical fitness had been constantly improving. After building this gym some time ago, he had been coming here frequently, sometimes exercising several times a day.

At this point, he couldn't quite say what level his physical strength had reached.

In any case, most of the equipment could no longer satisfy his strength training needs. Even when set to the maximum, he could still complete the exercises with ease.

So, many training programs could only be compensated for by increasing the number of repetitions.

He could clearly feel that he had distanced himself greatly from ordinary people.

He possessed a thorough sense of freedom.

To describe it.

It was as if he had been wearing clothes made of iron and lead all over his body.

Now he had finally taken them off.

He could now jump with force and even reach the height of two floors!

Concentrating his mind, he could see the approximate trajectory of bullets!

His observation and perception were several levels more acute than before.

If someone was staring at him from a hundred meters away, even without eye contact, he could vaguely sense their gaze.

His whole person seemed to have shed a layer of clothing.

He was more in tune with the outside world and nature.

He understood that this was an all-around improvement.

If before it was just one aspect becoming stronger, then after this period of adjustment, he had mastered the degree to which different parts had become stronger, achieving a preliminary unity.

The current him could beat ten of his past selves!

Although he couldn't compare to the awesome transmigrators from other families.

He could be considered a small “expert,” right?

Well, let's keep a low profile.

Without a cheat, he should still try to stay safe.

Having completed his workout, Qin Jin carefully savored the elated state of his body.

Very comfortable.

It was a process of dopamine being secreted like crazy.

Recently, he had begun to be careful with his usual movements to avoid causing too much impact, because his weight had exceeded an astonishing 120 kilograms!

That's right, kilograms!

That is to say, his current body, around 1.8 meters tall, contained the weight of two adult men, yet he didn't appear fat or bloated in any way.

Wearing clothes even made him look a bit thin.

One could imagine.

What terrifying power and explosive force were contained within his body!

This situation would only occur when the bone density and muscle density reached an astonishing level.

Although he was still far from being able to bend steel without paying attention, he did need to pay attention to his usual movements, lest he accidentally injure someone.

He had a habit of often patting people's arms...

After exercising, he picked up the towel next to him and began to wipe the sweat from his body.

Recently, clothes had often gone missing after working out in the gym, leading to him having fewer and fewer clothes that fit him. He didn't know which careless person took them to wash and didn't bring them back. He planned to find some time later to ask the manager to pay attention to it.

It was already November.

The acid rain in his memory was about to arrive in about two days.

Today was the last day for helicopter rescue.

Almost all the people who applied had gone out in the past few days and found quite a few relatives and friends, which could be considered fulfilling their wishes.

After the last few people go out and return today, this rescue plan will temporarily come to an end.

Then he would have to transport all the helicopters to the warehouse to preserve them, lest they be damaged by the acid rain, and then he would really have to cry his eyes out.

Thinking like this, he had already put on his usual casual clothes.

A set of casual sportswear.

Even though it was already so cold, he only wore a thin jacket. With his strong physique, this bit of cold couldn't break through his defenses.

Turning off the lights of the gym, he pushed open the door of the gym, and a gust of cold air came from the corridor, making him feel refreshed.

He strode towards the stairs, preparing to go over to the planting greenhouse to take a look.

Early in the morning, after just finishing exercising, it would be nice to go over and pick some fresh melons and fruits to taste.

Just as he had taken a few steps.

Suddenly.

A strange feeling suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart.

It was a faint sense of being watched.

It wasn't the kind of stinging warning that contained danger, not even malice.

Who is it?

Someone is actually secretly staring at him inside the base.

Could it be some deeply hidden troublemaker?

Interesting.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes turning cold.

Then he would let him see which ignorant person dared to do this.

He continued towards the third-floor staircase without showing any signs, and when he approached the stairs, he instantly exerted force in his legs, dodging into one of the rooms with an open door next to him.

Maintaining silence, holding his breath.

Focusing his mind on the corridor outside, to see if someone was really spying on him.

Ten seconds passed.

Thirty seconds passed.

One minute passed.

Just as he was getting a little impatient while waiting, and beginning to wonder if he had made a mistake in his feeling.

A light footstep suddenly sounded in the corridor outside!

Click.

It was the sound of a door opening.

Qin Jin judged from the distance that the door to his gym should have been opened.

He was a little curious.

If someone wanted to cause trouble, shouldn't they go to the office next to his gym instead?

There were more various secret documents of the Green Origin Base there! (Although they weren't the most confidential)

What's with running to the gym?

With a strong curiosity, he waited for another half a minute, planning to personally catch "that person" after "he" took action!

Catching the person in the act, so that he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to!

Half a minute passed in an instant.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, the footsteps seemed to have entered the gym, and it was difficult to hear clearly after that. Was it because the door was ajar?

Since that's the case, then let's go over.

Qin Jin planned to immediately intercept this "bad guy" and see what kind of things "he" was doing inside that were harmful to the base.

He walked out of the room where he was hiding, tightened his footsteps, and quickly approached the gym.

He wanted to take a good look at who was hiding so deeply, actually daring to do "this kind of thing" under his nose!

In an instant.

He had already arrived at the door of the gym.

Sure enough, the door was ajar, as if it had been brought along after the thief went in.

He secretly approached the ajar door.

Looking inside through the crack in the door.

Because the lights inside were not turned on, the light was dim.

But it didn't prevent him from immediately seeing the person inside with his back to him!

What!?

This person is actually!?
