11 p.m., Future City.
Not only Xiao Jun's team, but the other three major forces were also fully prepared.
High-tech lights illuminated the entire Future City like daylight.
Hundreds of thousands of survivors in Future City were on high alert, waiting for the next wave of zombies to descend.
In addition to Xiao Jun and the three major forces, there were also many scattered survivor loners who had joined this battle, but they were all gathered under those three major forces. In contrast, there was hardly anyone on Xiao Jun's side.
"Yue Sister, the sisters have all been prepared, and everyone has also been promoted to the second order."
Little loli had already become the logistics supervisor. Jiang Yue had already been promoted to the team leader's wife. How could she still work with her own hands? She only needed to coordinate the overall situation.
As for Xiao Jun, he was just a slightly more capable senior thug.
12 a.m. sharp.
A huge crack appeared in the sky on time.
Although this was not the first time seeing such a scene, Xiao Jun still couldn't help but think more every time.
Where did this crack come from? What was behind the crack? Could it be another world?
But none of these questions could be answered.
In the last life, Chen Gang, the lord of Future City, had already reached the seventh order mutant, but he was not even a match for the eighth order zombie on the other side, let alone exploring the crack in the sky.
The rain of zombies began to fall, and the war broke out again.
With more sufficient preparation and the strength improvement of many team members, tonight's battle was easier than last night’s.
Even if Xiao Jun, Wan Qianya and the others did not make a move, the members could resolve the second order zombies that appeared by themselves.
Those people who had paid money to hide in Xiao Jun's territory were also shivering with fear tonight, not knowing what to expect until they saw that the zombies were indeed attracted away by Xiao Jun’s team before they felt relieved.
"Pay attention to the time, rotate every 20 minutes."
Jiang Yue reminded them from time to time.
"Yue Sister, stay back, it's not safe here."
Seeing Jiang Yue come forward, several young ladies around hurriedly stopped her.
No kidding, this was not a joke. If something happened to this big sister, I guess the whole team would be finished.
Jiang Yue used to fight with her own hands, but ever since the number of people had exceeded 100, she basically never fought anymore. The younger sisters who came in later didn't even know that she could still kill zombies.
Jiang Yue didn't explain either. If she didn’t have to make a move, she definitely wouldn’t. Which girl liked fighting and killing? Except Li Jingyin.
Xiao Jun was already bored in the courtyard, he had lit a pile of fires and hung a large iron pot, and took out a pile of canned luncheon meat from his space.
In addition to the canned meat, there were also eggs, frozen shrimp, ham sausage and so on.
"Yue Jiang, hurry up and cook more rice."
The self-heating rice only took five minutes, very fast.
Jiang Yue was also in a good mood today. She took out 30 boxes of self-heating rice and started cooking at one time.
In a moment, there was another large pile of seasonings beside Xiao Jun.
"Brother Jun, the rice is cooked."
The twin sisters were also in the courtyard today instead of upstairs.
"Open them all and let it cool down."
Although the winter in southern China was not as scary as in the north, it still made people shiver. Xiao Jun opened all the lids of the self-heating rice boxes, and they all cooled down after a while.
On Xiao Jun's side, he had already started handling the shrimp.
First, he thawed the frozen shrimp, then threw it to the twin sister.
"Cut it into small pieces, you know?"
"Don't worry, Brother Jun. I often help my mother at home."
The sister was very confident. She finally felt a little useful.
"That's good. Cut the ham into dices later."
The sister looked puzzled.
"What are dices?"
Alright, Xiao Jun understood that this one was unreliable.
"Let me do it."
The younger sister took the kitchen knife from her sister's hand without chatter, and went straight into action.
With a few crisp cracking sounds, the whole ham was cut, and even the sizes of the dices were almost the same.
"Not bad, not bad. Sister, come over, you go help."
Xiao Jun was very satisfied. The younger sister was still more reliable.
At this time, Doctor Jiang also came out. Without saying anything, she went to Jiang Yue for a set of cooking utensils. It looked like she knew what she was doing.
The two worked together and soon cut up a batch of shrimp and ham.
Xiao Jun first blanched the shrimp, and started heating oil in another pot.
Twenty eggs went into the pot. As soon as the egg liquid solidified a little, he immediately added the ham dices and stir-fried.
"Rice."
Jing Ru hurriedly ran over carrying the cooled rice.
"Pour it in."
More than ten boxes of rice were poured in.
Xiao Jun continued to stir-fry until all the rice grains were separate.
Next, he added the shrimp, then kept stir-frying.
Because Xiao Jun put in a large quantity at a time, the stir-frying time was also longer.
Finally, he added salt, soy sauce and other seasonings, and even sprinkled some hot pepper powder.
A scent had already spread out in the courtyard.
"Come get food for those who are on break."
The young ladies who were standing by had already drooled from the scent. It had been so long since they last ate something so fragrant.
Before joining Xiao Jun’s team, they only ate properly three out of ten meals. After joining Xiao Jun’s team, at least there were enough rations, but still, how long has it been since they last enjoyed properly seasoned and stir-fried rice?
"Yun Yun, come over and arrange for people to add rice."
Little loli immediately ran over, followed by several young ladies, each holding a stack of bowls.
As for how to distribute the food and make sure everyone could eat without chaos, that was not something Xiao Jun worried about. With Jiang Yue there, there would definitely be no issues.
After the first batch of shrimp fried rice came out of the pan, the young ladies who were killing zombies seemed even more energetic, moving faster than before.
For the second batch, Xiao Jun decided to make luncheon meat fried rice.
Today, he would serve as the logistic chef.
"Jing Ru, you’re stealing food."
When Xiao Jun wasn't paying attention, the idle sister who was standing on the side also secretly grabbed a bowl and ran over.
Although she ate hot pot rice every day, this kind of fried rice with various seasonings seemed to have more allure, plus that layer of hot pepper powder really made her salivate.
"Jing Ru, go get some for your sister to eat."
Everyone else was busy, yet here she was only adding to the chaos.
The sister miserably took a large bowl, then her eyes turned, and instead of going to her younger sister, she went to Jiang Yue's side.
"Sister Yue, eat it while it's hot."
Xiao Jun laughed helplessly. This little girl, was she trying to curry favor with his work?
He didn’t bother with her, and started on the second pot.
There were over four hundred young ladies here. With one bowl per person, it looked like he was going to be quite tired today.
As the saying goes, the more egg fried rice you eat, the more energetic you get.
After eating, the young ladies who went to the front were even more vigorous in killing zombies. Wan Qianya hovered at the edge of the battlefield to prevent any casualties.
Casually sacrificing anyone would mean wasting 110 first-order mutant crystals, which was money!

e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
