"I've only been here twice. Although the zombies on the surface have been cleared out, I don't know if there are any left behind!"

"Please be careful, protect yourselves, and pay close attention to your surroundings!"

Lin Xue led everyone to the entrance of a steel factory, then kicked open the gate and led them inside.

There are readily available materials such as sheet metal and steel bars here.

The Tang family then began moving the easily transportable items onto the large truck.

Tian Youcai and Feng Wen searched for more supplies, marking what they found to make it easier for them to move later.

Sheet metal is not suitable for making vegetable greenhouses, but it can be used for the roof.

However, everyone still has a great need for sheet metal, so Lin Xue brought them here first to transport some of the sheet metal away.

Once the truckload of sheet metal arrived at the designated location, they headed to the plastics factory.

I found quite a few plastic products here.

This includes, but is not limited to, plastic sheets, plastic buckets, plastic basins, and plastic boards.

After bringing these things back, the plastic sheets were what Lin Xue and her group needed most.

Vegetable greenhouses built with plastic panels are of higher quality than those built with plastic sheeting, and they also allow more light to pass through.

More than a month passed in a flurry of activity, and Lin Xue also noticed that more and more zombies were surging towards them.

They also blocked off many roads, keeping the zombies out and causing them to roar all day long, which was really annoying.

In the end, Tian Shanchuan came up with an idea: to leave a fixed passage and lure the zombies to a designated area for cleanup.

This place was previously blasted into a huge crater by Lin Xue, and later it became much deeper after being repeatedly burned by the strange fire.

Tian Shanchuan's idea was to lure the zombies into these pits and then pour gasoline on them to burn them to death.

But Lin Xue wouldn't go through all that trouble. She simply threw in a cluster of strange fire, and the zombies would soon be reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace of the zombie virus behind.

Over the past few months, because Lin Xue has been using her strange fire to burn zombies from time to time, the amount of zombie virus in the air has been decreasing.

Compared to other places, the edible rate of wild vegetables growing here is gradually increasing.

Lin Xue thought Tian Shanchuan's method was good: first, plan out the fixed roads, close those that need to be closed, and clear those that need to be cleared.

Finally, a large area was left so that zombies could enter the passage from there.

After finishing this part, Lin Xue left separate entrances leading to the cremation pits in four different directions of the city.

Now, all she has to do is throw the strange fire into the pit once a day, which not only earns her merits but also saves her a lot of time luring monsters.

Now, the entire city is under Lin Xue's control. In addition to the Tang family villagers from before, two more groups of survivors have been discovered in the city.

Lin Xue observed that although some of the survivors in these two groups had ulterior motives, their will to survive was very strong, and their ulterior motives were merely for their own benefit.

They were accepted despite the unusual circumstances, but these people did not live with them. Instead, they lived in a separate residential area, just one street away from their place.

Lin Xue had already cleared that area, and planned to relocate all any survivors who came in later to that area.

With more people working, the need for food has also increased.

Fortunately, two of the survivors came from construction work and knew how to operate excavators and drilling machines.

This relieved a lot of pressure on Feng Wen.

As more and more farmland appeared in the city, Lin Xue asked 629 to help her burn away some of the houses that were in the way, using the strange fire to burn them clean.

Disassemble what can be disassembled, and burn what cannot be disassembled with a different kind of fire.

So before the weather got completely cold, seven or eight vegetable greenhouses appeared throughout the city.

Meanwhile, the couple on the other side of the river from the gas station were also actively stockpiling food, clearing out all three floors above their apartment.

The two were even secretly relieved that they hadn't followed Lin Xue, otherwise they wouldn't have had such a leisurely life.

No matter how capable they are, it's a fact that they are few in number when they join a new group, and they will definitely be ostracized.

If all else fails, we'll wait until we run out of supplies here before trying to find those people again.

The couple were unwilling to suffer any loss and only wanted to gain an advantage.

They claimed to be senior executives because they wanted to get into the base and reap the rewards without working.

If you can get a generous reward just by talking, who would be foolish enough to put in the work?

That day, Lin Xue and the others were digging for wild vegetables by the river. They saw them too. Everyone except Lin Xue was doing some work.

The couple was very clear in their minds that even if they joined someone else's team, they had to be among the top-level members.

Who would want to work for someone else if they're used to being a boss?

But the two of them had no idea that Lin Xue had never intended to accept them.

As winter approached, heavy snow fell.

The zombies in the distance continued to surge toward the city in a mighty tide.

When they encounter other survivors, they will stay in a fixed area.

But more zombies continued to advance towards the city.

Because there are more survivors in Linxue, and the area is more popular than other places, it attracts more zombies.

Lin Xue only goes out once a day, spending the rest of her time at home.

The vegetable greenhouses are taken care of by dedicated staff, and after half a year of hard work, it's time for them to take a break.

Furthermore, Lin Xue also distributed food separately to her subordinates. Apart from the Tian family, everyone else started cooking for themselves.

Fortunately, winter didn't last long; after just one month, the weather gradually warmed up.

Lin Xue resumed leading everyone in rebuilding their home, and she also returned to her daily task of clearing out zombies.

Far away from Lin Xue's city, a group of people were struggling to make their way towards them.

These people were all covered in dust and dirt, and had families with them.

They had been traveling through the apocalypse for several years, but none of the bases they passed through lasted long before disbanding due to food shortages.

These people were originally trained in martial arts, so their physical fitness was stronger than that of ordinary people, and they were also able to hunt zombies.

However, due to their large numbers, the supplies in each place would be completely depleted after a certain period of time.

Therefore, they had to move their positions every now and then.

In the aftermath of the apocalypse, it's rare to see a team of dozens of people moving together.

This shows just how strong this team is.

They were now on foot because they had to abandon their vehicle because they couldn't find enough fuel.

The group had been in this area for quite some time, and now that winter was over, they would continue on their journey to find more resources.

Of course, what I want most is to find more gasoline, because driving is much safer than walking.
