"The team has now recruited 500 people, including 4 third-order variant evolvers, 147 second-order variant evolvers, and 349 first-order variant evolvers," Xiao Jun sat on a recliner, while Wan Qianya was reporting on the team's situation next to him.
"It seems that the harvest has been quite large during this period."
147 second-order variant evolvers, how many variant crystals would that take, and without Xiao Jun's permission, the maximum used on the young ladies was only 30 percent.
Does that mean he now has tens of thousands of variant crystals?
"Yes, the outside of the city is indeed a good place, not only are there many zombies, but also many airdropped boxes, basically no one has ever developed it."
It wasn't that no one had ever thought about going outside the city, but they couldn't form a team strong enough, recklessly going out of the city was just delivering food.
While Future City's largest team was Future City itself, they were busy clearing the city to expand their influence and attract more survivors.
So for Xiao Jun's team, the outside of the city was the best breeding ground.
"The harvest outside the city is huge, and the harvest inside the city is not small either, all kinds of supplies have been stocked up on a lot."
Xiao Jun didn't have the heart to listen to the specifics of how much right now. Since Wan Qianya said a lot, then it must be enough for his team to use for a long time.
Don't look at how easy it is to find supplies now, after another year and a half, the disadvantages of lacking productivity will emerge, there will always be a day when the supplies in the city are emptied out.
No electricity is the biggest trouble of the apocalypse.
"Work harder, we don't have much time left."
Xiao Jun sighed.
The third-order zombies had already stealthily appeared, if he hadn't discovered it and killed it, who knows if they would be facing endless zombie sieges right now.
At that time, no matter how good you can fight, it would be useless. When there are too many ants they can bite an elephant to death, let alone zombies are not ants. As long as they touch and break your skin you’re done for.
"The teams going out of the city must pay more attention. If a large number of second-order zombies appear in a small area, come back and tell me immediately."
Xiao Jun was afraid that since there was the first third-order zombie, there could also be a second one.
He didn't want to be caught off guard.
"Okay." Jiang Yue took note.
"Also, arrange for someone to stand guard every night, focusing on the sky. The second zombie rain."
Now Xiao Jun could no longer completely rely on his experience from his previous life, he could only try to prevent as much as possible.
"There's a second wave?"
Jiang Yue asked in surprise.
She didn't care at all about how Xiao Jun knew, she had already determined that Xiao Jun was a hacker.
"Yes, second wave, second-order zombies will become mainstream."
"That would be great then."
Jiang Yue was happy to hear it instead.
Second-order variant crystals were too hard to come by. Now they needed 1,000 second-order variant crystals to level up, and the first-order ones were useless except as a tonic.
"Also, collect high-tech weapons, no matter if it's steel blades or daggers, we must equip everyone with a weapon."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue hesitated a little.
"This... we don't even have 100 weapons right now. It's only because we went out of the city and searched a lot of airdropped boxes that we were able to have such gains. Collecting these now, isn't that too high of a price?"
Such high-tech weapons were scarce now, and the market price was inflated very high. A high-tech steel blade sold for 100 variant crystals.
That meant after getting the blade, you'd have to kill 1,000 zombies just to break even.
If you were unlucky, you might have to kill two to three thousand.
400 pieces would be 40,000 variant crystals. That would be too extravagant at this stage.
Not to mention there weren't that many goods on the market.
Hearing the price of the steel blade, even Xiao Jun was stunned. So high?
On the contrary, pre-apocalypse food, salt, chili sauce and other prices were very low.
Because they could still be found everywhere outside, just take a big bag from any supermarket.
Just wait a year, no, half a year, and the prices would be reversed.
A non-renewable consumable that was also an essential for the human body, while high-tech weapons, by the later period, two per person would be enough.
"The price is high but we still have to collect them. Only by taking advantage of the early stage can we acquire more resources."
40,000 variant crystals seemed like a lot now. By the time the second and third zombie rains fell, there would surely be no lack of variant crystals.
"Okay, but we only have a little over 30,000 first-order variant crystals."
Hearing that Xiao Jun had already decided, Jiang Yue didn't try to persuade anymore. She only needed to get things done.
"Collect first, there's still some time, it's not like we need them tomorrow."
...
The next day.
Due to physical reasons, Xiao Jun was not suitable for combat at the moment, so he was also free.
On the other hand, Wan Qianya had recovered much faster. She had already taken her team back out of the city.
With the growing number of people, more reliable people were needed to lead.
The first batch of 30 young ladies had all become middle-level team leaders, each with different responsibilities.
The logistics teams had also been established, and Jiang Yue was the steward.
The combat troops were led by Li Jingyin. If not for Wan Qianya's dislike, it would have been handed over to her.
However, in Xiao Jun's eyes, Wan Qianya was more suitable to be that kind of one-hit-kill assassin, rather than a general on the battlefield.
Walking in his territory, there were many men working hard, all temporary workers recruited by Jiang Yue.
Although the pay was slightly lower than what Future City offered, there was still an endless stream of applicants.
Who would be willing to risk their lives going out when they could work to feed themselves here.
"Hi Jun."
The busty lolita had become the biggest supervising foreman, and she looked the part.
"Make all buildings low-rise, with larger areas."
Xiao Jun still remembered the next earthquake at all times.
It was just a general term to call it an earthquake, what would actually happen was that all buildings above 5 floors would collapse completely.
And in Star City, it was quite difficult to find a building under 5 floors, so the direct consequence was that all buildings in Star City would be destroyed.
Xiao Jun still wanted to use this territory in the future. The feng shui of this place was quite good. In the future when the whole team went out of the city, he could completely develop the territory into a supply station.
Building lower floors, then coming back to repair it a bit after the earthquake, it could continue to be used.
After walking around the territory, everyone was busy with their own things. Xiao Jun felt a little bad. He had been in Future City for a few days and hadn't gone to see the situation in Future City. Xiao Jun decided to go out for a walk, so as not to disrupt everyone's work enthusiasm.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
