Enchanting and summoning abilities are both relatively unique types of abilities within the specialization category.

Unlike the summoning system, which directly instills relevant knowledge into the mind and then allows for summoning based on formulas.

Enchantment is highly random; even the enchanter cannot predict what effects it will have on the enchanted item.

However, based on long-term research on enchanting abilities after the apocalypse, the survivors have roughly figured out some of the patterns.

The effect of an enchantment is related to the properties and functions of the enchanted item itself.

For example, enchanting a weapon often involves enchanting it with elemental attributes or sharpness.

It will not result in a situation where the blade is enchanted with a counter-attack effect.

Similarly, when enchanting walls with enchantments, the effects are more about reinforcement, solidification, or shielding.

Instead, it will not enchant the city walls with elemental damage effects.

Even so, the randomness of enchantment abilities is still frustrating.

An enchanter who can more accurately enchant specific effects is a master that everyone seeks after the apocalypse, whose status is no less than that of a summoner.

However, apart from Alice, Dawn City currently has no other specializations related to logistics.

Therefore, for now, it can only be a thought and the plan cannot be implemented. We should first lay the foundation.

......

Besides the construction progress of the outer city, Huang Zhao was more concerned about the results of the zombie burning plan.

After three days of burning, the team members who carried out this task were already very familiar with it.

The incineration efficiency has improved significantly compared to the beginning, and it can now be stably maintained at about four hours per batch.

To date, nearly 400,000 zero-level crystals have been harvested.

This quantity is almost enough for the energy crystals consumed by the more than two thousand people in Dawn City to break through to level four.

This is an enormous fortune. Apart from Dawn City, it's believed that no other force on the entire planet Blue Star possesses so many crystals at this time.

Only Huang Zhao and Brother Jie knew the number of crystals collected from the incineration pool.

Although the members who participated in the burning knew that the harvest would be enormous, they only had a rough estimate and did not realize that there would be so much.

This method of killing zombies has already spread among all the survivors in Dawn City.

Members on hunting missions also use this method to kill zombies in small groups.

Huang Zhao was happy to see this result. No matter how the zombies were killed, as long as the number of zombies could be effectively reduced, that was fine.

Even not handing over the crystals after hunting isn't a big problem; Huang Zhao isn't short of them.

........

It was now the ninth day after the apocalypse, and the second batch of members who joined Dawn City were about to finish enjoying their membership benefits.

Starting tomorrow, we will have to submit the points for staying in Shuguang City and renting a tenement building.

Huang Zhao also planned to begin transferring the non-official staff living in Dawn City to the outer city.

The area within Dawn City served as the residence for the people of the inner city and their families.

However, the construction of the outer city cannot be completed in a short time; the construction team's progress needs to be smoothly transitioned.

At the very least, people cannot be driven out of the inner city, and even water and electricity cannot be supplied normally.

If everyone runs away by then, all his efforts over such a long time will be in vain.

Although this is unlikely, the members of Dawn City will be willing to pay the points.

Even though they could live anywhere they wanted from the outside world, no survivor was willing to leave Dawn City to live in the ruins of other cities.

The biggest advantage of Dawn City for survivors is that the quality of life is almost the same as before the apocalypse, and there are stable ways to improve their strength.

Huang Zhao was not so naive as to believe that the survivors of Dawn City would unconditionally obey Dawn City based solely on loyalty.

This is the direction Huang Zhao will strive for in the future, but it is by no means something that can be achieved overnight.

"By the way, why don't you pick a villa in the North District as your future residence? Your current suite looks a bit cramped."

Huang Zhao suddenly said to Brother Jie.

Under his mental perception, he discovered Zhou Xindong and others who were organizing documents in the suite assigned to Brother Jie.

The affairs of Dawn City are indeed beyond the capacity of Brother Jie alone, and he also needs to deal with various emergencies during the day.

Brother Jie did indeed perform his duties as the chief steward of Dawn City very well, so Huang Zhao did not hesitate to reward him directly.

"Thank you for the reward, City Lord!"

Brother Jie happily accepted it.

After discussing the future development plans with Brother Jie, Huang Zhao told him to leave first.

"well...

Managing a city is no easy task.

Huang Zhao, who had been lying down the whole time and simply listening to the report, sighed.

Huang Zhao looked at the aerial view of Dawn City.

This is a city that belongs only to him!

He is the ruler of this city; the life and death of everyone is in his hands!

Huang Zhao's thoughts drifted to the tenth year of the apocalypse in Chen Run's memory, the year that also brought Chen Run despair:

Ten years after the apocalypse, all ordinary zombies on Earth have evolved to at least level six.

By then, the zombies could be considered a new intelligent race, forming a complete social system.

Instead of being like the beasts of today, driven only by killing and desire, with almost no reason.

Led by the Zombie King and other high-ranking zombies, zombies and mutated beasts vie for dominance on Blue Star, devouring each other to grow stronger.

Humans have long been kicked off the stage of competition, left to eke out a living in the wilderness, completely unable to participate in the struggle.

This is because humans are the weakest party in this process, being few in number, disunited, and weak in strength.

If it weren't for the immense power of the most elite human superhumans, capable of contending with a level-one mutated beast king like the Corpse King, they might not even have a chance to survive.

It was in this despair that Chen Run chose to commit suicide, to escape this hopeless apocalypse.

In this life, Huang Zhao will absolutely not repeat the same mistakes and be crushed by zombies and mutated beasts.

The first priority is to develop and expand Dawn City, and at the same time, to the best of our ability, help other human settlements to develop.

Although humans excel at internal strife, they can still maintain a basic united front when faced with a common enemy.

Clearing out zombies and mutated beasts can also enhance the strength of one's own forces, and no settlement would refuse that.

Dawn City, possessing the most resources and the strongest individuals, will not be a minor, insignificant force, even if it doesn't become the leader of human settlements.

If Earth were to develop naturally, humanity would have evolved to its current level of individual strength.

The time span could be thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

And now...

Absorbing energy crystals can dramatically increase an individual's strength.

For humanity on Earth, the apocalypse is both a crisis and an opportunity!
