After passing through a 2-meter-thick doorway and a 3-meter-long entrance hall, you finally enter the shelter through the main entrance.

The surviving construction workers had imagined how luxurious the interior of the shelter might be, but once inside, they realized that their imaginations were far too limited.

The alloy door is thicker than a person, the spacious hall is cleverly decorated, there are various furniture items whose materials are hard to discern but are not ordinary, and the pleasant air conditioning is felt as soon as you enter.

And at this moment, there were two rows of beautiful maids standing behind the door, bowing.

This truly illustrates what it means when poverty limits their imagination!

Huang Zhao, who was already seated at the head of the table, was not surprised by the workers' astonishment and unease.

He was also shocked for a long time when he first entered Chen Run's rest area.

I'm disgusted by the truly corrupt lives of the rich!

He called out to everyone to sit at the 10*2.5 meter dining table, and even with 23 people seated, it didn't feel crowded at all.

Knowing that the chef robot on the fourth basement level wouldn't be able to prepare the banquet anytime soon.

Huang Zhao chatted with the others from his seat, learning about their individual situations:

Of the 21 people who remained, all were basic construction workers, including bricklayers, decorators, plumbers, electricians, and construction vehicle drivers.

They are all from other provinces and work in Shanghai; not one of them is a local.

According to them, Huang Zhao killed and killed some locals and members of the construction company's management.

After learning more about it, Huang Zhao understood why these people were willing to stay.

Suddenly faced with the apocalypse, and with his home in a distant province, even if he left Dawn City alone, his ability to survive would be questionable as he tried to cross multiple cities to return home.

Staying is the best option for them.

During the conversation, everyone relaxed a little, and the atmosphere between them gradually became more harmonious.

Seeing that everyone was no longer so reserved, Huang Zhao stood up and said:

"Everyone!"

Captain Qin should have already briefed everyone outside on the information about superhumans and energy crystals.

On the outstretched palm in front of everyone was a small pile of about 200 level-zero energy crystals that had been taken out in advance from the supernatural space.

This immediately attracted the attention of the other survivors, and then he said:

"This is the energy crystal extracted from the back of the zombie's head."

It can help everyone strengthen their bodies, level up, and even awaken supernatural abilities!

The crowd, seemingly already knowing what was about to happen, were somewhat excited and eagerly awaited Huang Zhao's next words.

The sound continued:

"As a reward for everyone staying in Dawn City, I will help you improve your strength."

Each person will be provided with 10 Level 0 Energy Crystals free of charge!

Huang Zhao did not disappoint the expectant gazes of the crowd, and said what they wanted to hear.

Ten pieces were precisely divided into portions and placed on the dining table, then conveyed to everyone via a conveyor belt.

"The way to absorb it is very simple: just hold it in your hand, close your eyes, and concentrate your mind on your hand."

Remember, you must stop absorbing when you feel you can't absorb any more!

Upon hearing Huang Zhao's words, the 21 survivors immediately sat down at the dining table and began to absorb the nutrients.

Sitting silently at the dining table, Huang Zhao watched everyone's reactions with satisfaction, a sense of anticipation stirring within him.

Ordinary people who haven't awakened their superpowers can also absorb crystals. As long as they can successfully absorb the energy of a crystal, they can level up to level one.

Although the probability of awakening superpowers is higher when advancing, not everyone can successfully awaken them!

'I wonder how many people can awaken superpowers; it would be even better if they were special abilities!'

The stronger the survivors who join Dawn City, the higher the chances of Huang Zhao's zombie-clearing plan succeeding.

The screams that followed were the intense pain from the brain during a level breakthrough, especially noticeable when breaking through to the next level.

Some survivors opened their eyes and looked at the screaming people with envy.

He closed his eyes again and continued to absorb the energy crystal in his hand.

The surprise came soon:

On the right, a man around 40 years old, whose physique was quite robust among all the construction workers, suddenly swelled up a size amidst screams, tearing his already tight clothes!

Except for a white hair resembling the letter V on its chest, the rest of its body was covered in black hair, and its ears became dark and round.

Beast Transformation Type - Black Bear Bloodline, quite a remarkable ability!

Compared to other ability users of the same level, she possesses greater strength, though her speed is slightly inferior. However, her keen sense of smell and hearing are unmatched even by ability users of higher levels!

About 10 minutes later, all the survivors had reached the maximum amount of energy they could absorb that day and were feeling the changes in their bodies.

All eyes turned to the man who was still astonished at his transformation into a black bear.

"This is a beast-type ability - Black Bear bloodline, an exceptional ability."

"But we must also be aware of the weaknesses of creatures with bestial bloodlines. Black bears have poor eyesight, so we should avoid letting them go out at night."

He explained the characteristics of beast-type abilities to everyone and then spoke to the black bear.

The man who had transformed into a black bear returned to human form, removed his ripped clothes, and waited shirtless for the banquet to begin.

Huang Zhao's mental perception was currently checking the number of energy crystals remaining in everyone's hands, and he was still somewhat disappointed.

Of the 21 people who absorbed the crystals, only one person had 3 crystals left, three people had 4 crystals left, and the others had more crystals left.

Three people were even unable to fully absorb the energy of a single crystal, meaning they were still unable to break through to level one and remained no different from ordinary people.
