Ning Chuxia didn't hesitate any longer and replied directly:

"Okay, senior brother!"

Huang Zhao suddenly remembered that there were still things he hadn't told her.

"By the way, early summer, don't tell anyone else about my existence."

Zheng Lan won't do either!

Before Ning Chuxia could even ask the second question, Huang Zhao immediately added.

"There's also the matter of contacting you that I haven't told the city lord yet."

However, since you have already agreed to be my assistant, I don't think the city lord will refuse.

"All right..."

Having explained everything, Huang Zhao decided to disconnect the mental connection.

"Then you absorb the crystal energy first, I'll hang up now."

"Stop peeking!"

"I won't peek! I promise next time!"

After disconnecting the mental connection, Huang Zhao focused his attention back on himself on the fourth basement level.

Ning Chuxia, who was in the room, took out the level-three beast-type energy crystal that Huang Zhao had provided.

Without further hesitation, I started absorbing it.

Huang Zhao arranged for a female android maid to deliver a package to Ning Chuxia's residence, carrying a laptop-style smart terminal.

As for how to explain to Zheng Lan the absorption of the Level 3 energy crystal and how to become Huang Zhao's assistant.

That's something Ning Chuxia needs to solve herself.

Huang Zhao did not intend to have much contact with Zheng Lan.

Aside from those you care about, other members of Dawn City should simply contribute to Dawn City.

......

I completed a task that greatly reduced my work pressure and workload.

Huang Zhao felt much lighter.

Move on to the next task that you need to handle.

To-do list 1: Dawn City survivors' task list for tomorrow.

To be done 2: The need to form a family visit team.

"It's you I've chosen, Ah-Jie!"

Huang Zhao packaged the two agents together and sent them to Brother Jie's terminal.

'Alright, two more tasks completed!'

Huang Zhao was in a good mood.

Next up was the inspection of the special markers for the exploration team, which Huang Zhao had been eagerly anticipating.

He possesses the memories of Chen Run from the ten years following the apocalypse.

Huang Zhao can make a rough assessment of the classification and strength of most zombies and mutated beasts.

This is a task that other members of Dawn City cannot currently perform in place of Huang Zhao.

Therefore, you have to confirm them one by one on your own.

Turning to look at the 300-inch display screen in front of the main console, Huang Zhao clicked on the video attached to the first special marker.

This is a video taken today by the exploration team, which they believe to be of a higher level.

First place:

The scene appears to be within a residential community.

Among the crowded horde of zombies, there was a large zombie that was about half a meter taller than the others.

He was rampaging through the horde of zombies, causing chaos among the other zombies.

'This should be a mutant of the level 2 meat system. 5 points reward. Next.'

Second place:

In the city's waterways, a giant, bluish-gray python, half a meter thick, leaped out of the water.

It bit a zombie that had fallen from the roadside and was about to fall into the river.

The zombie was swallowed whole by the giant python, then sank into the water and disappeared.

'Level 2 Mutant Beast, reward 5 points, next.'

The third place:

In a large shopping mall, corpses were scattered everywhere.

The nearly 100,000-square-meter empty square was teeming with zombies.

According to drone footage alone, nearly 30,000 zombies were gathered in the square.

This is also one of the locations with the highest number of zombies among all the marked locations.

Among the horde of corpses, a mountain of flesh nearly 10 meters high stood out conspicuously in the middle.

The mountain of flesh rolled and moved, creating noticeable tremors and noises that attracted the surrounding zombies.

He was then grabbed by the giant hand that reached out from the mountain of flesh and stuffed directly into the huge mouth at the top of the mountain.

After a series of chewing motions, the zombie disappeared into the mountain of flesh.

Finally, a surprise!

Upon seeing this mountain of flesh, Huang Zhao's pupils contracted, and he excitedly stood up.

Huang Zhao recognized the mountain of flesh in the picture; it was a special kind of mutated zombie.

They are called Devourers by post-apocalyptic humans because they possess extremely strong digestive abilities.

Furthermore, as they eat and level up, their size will become extremely large.

It quickly devours all edible resources around it, whether human or zombie.

Even trees are devoured and consumed by hungry predators.

Devourers are transformed from flesh-type zombies that have a certain probability of undergoing mutation when they break through to level four.

In the later stages of the apocalypse, the number of Devourer zombies was not small.

The Devourer attacks by using its enormous body and immense strength to kill any prey that gets close.

Alternatively, it can spray highly corrosive stomach acid directly from its mouth to launch a ranged attack on its prey that gets close.

They are strong at both close and long range, making them a very difficult type of zombie to deal with.

In Chen Run's memory, when he was at level ten, he had encountered a fifty-meter-tall, level nine high-ranking Devourer.

Within its range, there is no living creature left.

Everything was devoured by the Devourer's terrifying digestive ability.

However, when Chen Run saw the Devourer, it was already on its last legs and could die at any moment.

There was no more prey for it to eat.

It is estimated that this devourer will soon starve to death because it is unable to sustain its enormous body's energy expenditure.

Chen Run reluctantly gave it a ride, receiving a level nine energy crystal in return.

The mountain of flesh in the video uploaded by the exploration team.

It was clearly a mutant devourer zombie that had broken through to level four!

'Level 4 mutant, reward the exploration team with 500 points!'

Huang Zhao noted down the location of this marker.

It is located at Wanda Plaza, about 8 kilometers north of Shuguang City.

No wonder there are so many zombies gathered here.

Huang Zhao pondered how to kill this mutant.

Once this level-four devourer is killed, Chen Run will have a crystal to break through to level four.

The next task is to absorb the crystal with all your might, accumulate enough energy for level three, and then break through to level four!

Resist the urge to set off right now and kill this devourer.

No rush, no rush.

Apart from the Devourer, other zombies will not actively devour the corpses of their own kind.

With so many zombies around, even if the Devourer dies, there's no need to worry about anyone stealing the energy crystal.

Huang Zhao clicked on the video of the next special marker.

Fourth type: Level 2 flesh-type zombies.

'5 points awarded, next.'

......

11th location:

This footage was taken by a drone operated by a member of the exploration team, at an altitude of nearly 200 meters.

On the streets of an unnamed village, a creature with what appears to be a white bone helmet on its head, its face obscured, appears in the frame.

It wasn't particularly tall or outstanding among the zombies, but it walked at the very front of the horde.

At this moment, it is moving northeast, towards the central urban area of ​​Shanghai.
