National Action Commences?

Olivia opened the door. She saw Lily, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Lily had an explosive figure, her curves far beyond ordinary, making Olivia very wary, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she said gently: "Jake, you're back! What's this beauty's name?"

Lily's face blushed slightly.

Jake said casually: "Lily."

Olivia knew she was unable to stop it, so she simply put on a dignified air. She proactively linked arms with Lily and said with a smile: "Hello, from now on, we're sisters!"

Lily was bewildered, both shy and surprised. She completely didn't expect the complex's most famous second-generation official beauty, Olivia, to be so submissive. Jake was very satisfied with Olivia's performance and smiled faintly.

Olivia introduced: "Lily, this is Michelle, she's also our sister."

Michelle, however, had no pleasant expression. She sized up Lily from head to toe, unable to suppress the jealousy in her heart. She wanted to test Jake's limits, so she pouted and said: "Humph! Men are all jerks!"

Slap!

Before she finished speaking, she was slapped by Jake. This slap was very heavy. Michelle was thrown so hard her head was buzzing, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"How dare you try to play tricks on me?" Jake sneered: "What, did I give you too much leeway these past two days? Dare to speak to me like that?"

Michelle instantly realized. Jake wasn't like Mike Peterson. He couldn't be controlled at all. It's over... Her heart sank. She quickly launched a charm offensive. Her eyes quickly turned red, tears dripped down, her skin was snow-white, her nose tip was red. She cried pitifully: "Jake, I, I..."

She saw Olivia looking at her with schadenfreude and was furious. Michelle, while crying, rapidly thought about how to deal with the current predicament.

Jake clearly saw that her light changed from green back to yellow. Jake's eyes flashed with a sharp glint: "You eat my food, drink my water, and your attitude towards me is still neutral? Get out!"

Michelle was greatly alarmed. Jake, without a word, picked up Michelle, opened the apartment door, and threw her out a few meters (approx. several feet).

Bang! The apartment door closed directly.

Michelle was thrown so hard she almost passed out, but she no longer cared about the pain. She panicked. Turns out Jake wasn't just scaring her. Only then did she remember Jake has Perception. He can see women's attitudes towards him. Her psychological state changed slightly just now, and she was discovered by him...

Michelle scrambled and crawled onto the apartment door, pounding it, and cried out mournfully: "No! Jake! Don't abandon me! Don't abandon me! I was wrong! I was really wrong! I won't dare again!"

Olivia watched, trembling with fear. In the apocalypse, being able to cling to a man like Jake was her luck. Don't get any ideas!

Jake opened the smart peephole and said through the door: "Don't pound on the door. Kneel outside the door and reflect. When I see you turn green, only then can you come in. Otherwise, you're on your own!"

Lily saw such a scene as soon as she entered. She was a bit bewildered. She couldn't understand what Jake was saying. What green? What neutral? What are they talking about?

The pounding on the door quickly stopped. Michelle didn't dare pound on the door. Forcing herself to endure the fear, she knelt outside the door, sobbing softly. The most troublesome thing now was how to change her attitude towards Jake to friendly. She could only cry while brainwashing herself. Jake is my man, I must obey him. Jake is my man, I must obey him...

...

Jake turned off the smart peephole screen. His sharp gaze fell on the two women inside the apartment. He sneered: "Do you think I'm cruel?"

Lily's heart pounded wildly: "No, no."

Olivia quickly lowered her head: "Of course not! Jake, don't worry, I won't be as foolish as her."

Jake chuckled: "Remember, don't be presumptuous, and don't try to test me with such little tricks!"

A stick and a carrot. Jake took out a Perception fruit and handed it to Lily: "Here, for you. Eat it."

Lily was surprised and delighted: "This is the black lychee I gave you? Edible?"

Jake smiled: "This thing is called an ability fruit. Eating it grants an ability." Jake briefly explained the function of Perception. He planned to give every woman Perception ability. This ability could avoid many dangers. But powerful fruits, like Phasing and Constitution Enhancement, Jake wouldn't hand out casually. It would depend on the women's performance.

Lily finally understood what Jake had just said, but she was very shocked. So this is the source of abilities? Such an important thing, why give it to me? Also, he bought one from me and gave one back. He didn't earn anything in return. He even gave me a few free packets of instant noodles. Was it just to save me? Could this man actually be cold on the outside but kind-hearted? Lily couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. For some reason, she also felt Michelle was a bit excessive. In an age like the apocalypse, a man is willing to take in a woman, protect you, feed you, clothe you, and even give you ability fruits. What more could you ask for? When a man saves you, he can't possibly want nothing in return, right?

Lily ate the Perception fruit amidst her swirling thoughts.

[Ding! Lily consumed 1 Enlightenment Fruit - Perception, returned 400! Already placed in Portable Space.]

...

Michelle knelt outside the door for a full 20 hours. Jake saw her light turn green, but still ignored her. Michelle was hungry, thirsty, and afraid. She finally fainted, and only then did Jake let the two women drag Michelle into the apartment.

After Michelle woke up, her gaze towards Jake was a bit timid and also a bit aggrieved. Jake ignored her, casually looking at his phone. A few more women contacted him in the group chat, offering themselves, but none met the system's scoring requirements. Beauties of Olivia, Lily, and Michelle's caliber were at least one in a thousand. For Fortune Center Apartments to have three, it was purely good luck.

Rumble! The sound of helicopters suddenly came from the sky. A few people looked outside. A single armed helicopter flew low over them: A loud broadcast sound came from the helicopter:

"Fellow citizens, according to plan, herbicides will be sprayed in half an hour. Please remain indoors. Do not go outside for 4 hours after spraying..."

"This herbicide is the latest research achievement of the National Academy of Sciences. It has been repeatedly tested and can effectively kill a large number of plants..."

"The nation has the ability to protect the safety of every citizen. Please, citizens, persist in self-rescue, do not give up hope..."

"The Earth belongs to humanity. We will eventually become the masters of the Earth again!"
