Qin Yi, who was on guard in the passenger seat, squinted at the approaching Level 3 flesh-type zombie.

He took the titanium alloy spear from a member of Dawn City who was standing next to him.

After weighing it in his hand, his internal energy surged and gathered in his right hand.

After a brief aim, he hurled the weapon at the level 3 flesh-type zombie that had closed to within fifty meters.

After the titanium alloy spear left Qin Yi's hand, it flew out at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of the flesh-based zombie in the blink of an eye.

Seemingly sensing danger, the level 3 flesh-type zombie roared and crossed its arms in front of it, trying to block the attack.

However, the sharp tip of the titanium alloy spear that Qin Yi threw seemed to be unimpeded, piercing through both arms of the level three zombie.

The spear, its momentum undiminished, pierced through the arm and head of the level three zombie.

Qin Yi was somewhat surprised by the zombie's defensive actions.

"It's actually a normal zombie that has broken through to level three."

Level 3 zombies already possess a basic instinct for self-preservation and avoiding harm.

However, the result did not change much; they still could not withstand his attack after he enhanced it with superpowers.

Since returning to Dawn City, Qin Yi realized that his strength was insufficient and he was no longer able to accompany Huang Zhao on missions.

After having some free time, Qin Yi has been honing his skills and delving deeper into the flesh-based superpowers in Dawn City, developing techniques for using them.

The earlier throw of the titanium alloy spear was the effect of Qin Yi concentrating his supernatural power into his arm.

This attack was almost comparable to the power of a level four tank build.

After piercing the skull of a level-three zombie, the immense force pinned its body to the ground, the spearhead sinking deep into the concrete.

The flames that the Crimson Steed had been gathering on its body paused, then shifted their target and spread outwards, incinerating any approaching Level 0 zombies into ashes.

In the other three vehicles were a group of people from the Chiyang settlement, on high alert against the approach of Level 3 zombies.

He stared in horror at the effect of Qin Yi's attack, nearly getting scratched by the zombie.

Fortunately, he was rescued by members of the hunting team who were on guard.

The members of the Dawn City elite hunting team then skillfully disembarked and dispersed to kill the zombies.

Qin Yi's loud shout snapped the stunned group out of their daze:

"Clear the zombies and sweep the battlefield!"

My opinion of them naturally dropped a bit.

It's good that you have the courage to kill zombies, but you lack experience in dealing with them.

Qin Yi admired Chiju for his calm and collected approach to clearing away the zombies from beginning to end.

The more than two hundred zombies that had surrounded them were quickly killed. The hunting team skillfully used titanium alloy daggers to open up the zombies' brains and extract the energy crystals.

The people in the Chiyang settlement watched with envy; they hadn't contributed much and didn't dare to ask for anything.

"Let's keep going!"

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, the group continued heading towards the Chiyang settlement.

With their strength, they could even contend with a level four zombie, so they wouldn't be in much danger.

After driving for about half an hour with frequent stops, the convoy arrived at a steel plant.

It is surrounded by a two-and-a-half-meter-high wall, and access is only possible through a thick iron gate.

As Qin Yi approached the steel mill, he could still see many survivors inside the buildings outside the mill.

Chiju explained to Qin Yi:

"We have cleared out the surrounding zombies, and the members of the settlement are all living inside the steel plant."

“These are survivors who were not accepted by our settlement, but who came to us on their own initiative.”

Qin Yi nodded to himself and led the hunting team into the steel plant.

From afar, the guards at the steel plant opened the gates as soon as they saw Chiju's vehicle.

"The boss is back!"

"Does Dawn City really have an inexhaustible supply of resources? When are we going to move there?"

"When will Boss Red Steed take us out to kill zombies?"

“...”

A group of people emerged from the gathering place, mostly young people.

Upon spotting the Dawn City hunting party members in armor following behind, they excitedly charged forward again.

"Holy crap! This armor is so damn cool!"

"Big brother, can I borrow your clothes for a bit?!"

“...”

Chiju was somewhat embarrassed and quickly shouted to stop them, driving everyone back into the steel structure.

He then walked up to Qin Yi and said somewhat apologetically:

"Sorry, there's a high school nearby, and most of the people in the settlement were rescued by us when we were clearing out zombies."

"Because our capabilities are limited, the supplies we find are only enough for this many people, so we have never been able to expand on a large scale."

Qin Yi then realized that a gathering place that seemed to have a powerful leader actually looked so shabby.

"This is the apocalypse. What you're doing isn't protecting them; it could actually be harming them."

"You need to improve your strength as soon as possible. The zombies are getting stronger. If you continue like this, you will die."

"There's no other way; many people are unwilling to go out and fight zombies."

"Then they should be eliminated. Those who cannot contribute are just a burden."

Akagi had no good solution to this, and could only sigh.

Qin Yi didn't say much, and then asked:

"We'd like to take a quick look around the settlement, is that alright?"

Seeing Chiju nod, Qin Yi waved to the members of the hunting team behind him.

The two elite hunting teams, each consisting of 12 members, began searching the steel mill in pairs, their wristwatches recording what they found.

Half a month has passed since the apocalypse began, and Qin Yi's mindset has already changed.

Standing in the settlement, he chatted casually with Akago.

After falling silent, Qin Yi briefly reported the situation at the Chiyang settlement to Huang Zhao.

Huang Zhao was somewhat surprised when he received it. It seemed that the powerful Chiyang settlement after the apocalypse had not yet developed at this time.

Huang Zhao then told Qin Yi her opinion and ended the call.

The steel plant wasn't large. After a while, members of the hunting team came out from inside and nodded slightly to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi pondered for a moment and then relayed Huang Zhao's opinion:

"Chief Red Steed, we will stay in your settlement for the next two days and take you out to kill zombies. The energy crystals from the zombies we hunt will be converted into points and loaned to you."

"The condition is that everyone must take turns going out with us to hunt zombies, and if anyone is unwilling, they will be expelled from the settlement."

"One of our principles: Dawn City does not support useless people!"

"When the apocalypse comes, those who are unwilling to fight zombies are just trash!"

Qin Yi's words were firm and decisive, leaving Chiju room to refuse.

Chiju pondered to himself, knowing the situation in the settlement well, and he longed to change the status quo.

However, at this time he was not yet the leader of that gathering place of ten thousand people, and he was still hesitant and had not yet made a decision.

Now that people from Dawn City are taking the lead, and there are even ideas to promote them, we must immediately make up our minds.

"Very well! Thank you for your care, City Lord. Everyone in the Crimson Sun settlement will be at your command for the next few days!"

"Anyone who disobeys, leave!"

After making the decision, Chi Yang immediately felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
