Lying comfortably on top of the grain truck, Yu Yinyang said:

"Sis, do you think once we clear out the zombies in Shanghai, we can just laze around and wait to die in Dawn City?"

"Have you paid off all your points? Are you just trying to slack off?"

"And you have to spend points every day in Dawn City, how long will your savings last?"

After a long period of fighting zombies outside, Yu Wanqiu's personality has changed a lot.

No longer so timid, she ruthlessly shattered Yu Yinyang's illusions.

"Ahhh, I suddenly want to go back and keep killing zombies! I also want to move to the inner city and buy an apartment there!"

"Just rest now, or I'll go crazy if I kill you again."

Yu Wanqiu rubbed her younger brother's shoulder with some concern.

It's not just them; all the Dawn City members who are out killing zombies have recently become somewhat bloodthirsty.

Everyone was on edge, as if they might snap at any moment.

On average, each member kills hundreds of zombies every day, and now each person has accumulated hundreds of zombie lives.

A figure appeared in Yu Wanqiu's mind—powerful, majestic, and all difficulties were no match for him.

"I don't know if he's realized this problem yet. If this killing continues, many people will turn into monsters."

She shook her head. She was just an ordinary member of Dawn City and had hardly seen Huang Zhao since she came to Dawn City.

Regardless, she and her brother both owed the other a debt of gratitude.

If it weren't for Huang Zhao's rescue, Yu Yinyang, who suffered a spinal injury, certainly wouldn't have survived in this apocalyptic world.

Without further thought, Yu Wanqiu said to the others:

"In short, everyone should get some rest and relax."

The six men lay sprawled on the roof of the car, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

Inside the command vehicle, Qin Yi hesitated.

In the end, the level-four beast-type energy crystal that had been obtained was handed over to Sun Jianjun.

"Old Chief, this energy crystal can help you break through to level four, but do not let anyone else absorb it except yourself."

Sun Jianjun was somewhat puzzled, since Qin Yi had casually given him a crystal earlier.

Why did they seem so cautious about giving him this crystal this time?

"You already gave me one, and if it weren't for you stopping the Rat King this time, we might have suffered a great loss."

"Keep this energy crystal; we can't let you work for nothing."

In fact, Sun Jianjun originally intended to give the grain as payment for Qin Yi's help.

In these end times, food is a hard currency more valuable than gold.

However, seeing that the members of Dawn City were not interested in the 100,000-ton grain warehouse, they knew that they did not lack it, so they gave up on the plan.

She was still thinking about how to thank Qin Yi for his support.

Qin Yi didn't want to explain further, but simply told Sun Jianjun to do as he asked.

The fact that absorbing unabsorbed level four energy crystals can lead to a breakthrough to level four is still a secret of Dawn City.

Huang Zhao did not agree to make it public, so Qin Yi naturally wouldn't say it outright.

Encountering the Level 4 Rat King was an accident, and Qin Yi also had complete control over the energy crystal he obtained.

Therefore, there will be no problem in doing so, and he will explain the matter to Huang Zhao afterwards.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll absorb this crystal myself."

"There's something I'd like to confirm with you, and I hope you can answer it."

"Please speak."

Sun Jianjun hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"If, and I mean if, our shelter's more than three thousand people were willing to join Dawn City, how would the city lord arrange for us?"

Qin Yi was somewhat surprised; after Huang Zhao conveyed his idea to him, he had not yet expressed any such thoughts.

If his former superior is asking this question now, he must already have some ideas.

In response to Sun Jianjun's question, Qin Yi pondered for a moment and replied:

"Our Dawn City currently only has one unofficial force, which recently joined Dawn City."

"Dawn City provides resources to assist their development, but in return, they need to fulfill Dawn City's commissions."

"For example, tasks such as finding specific supplies or searching for talent."

"At the same time, the Dawn City's resource exchange system will be open to them. They can complete tasks to earn points and exchange them for resources, including energy crystals."

"Apart from that, Dawn City has no other additional requirements."

Hearing this, Sun Jianjun was somewhat surprised.

This has almost no restrictions on other gathering places; it's all beneficial and has no drawbacks.

Nominally, it is an affiliated force of Dawn City, but it does not have many mandatory requirements.

Sun Jianjun's mind became more resolute, and he planned to make the proposal after returning home.

......

Outside Dawn City, the zombie extermination plan is proceeding smoothly.

The daytime passed quickly, and after the members of Dawn City took down the zombie tails that were following them, they returned to the city one after another.

After a whole day of killing zombies, I can only relax a little after returning to Dawn City.

Upon returning to the outer city, many survivors discovered something unusual.

There are far fewer people on the streets and in the residential areas.

These places are usually the most crowded at this time of year, as people return to the city to chat and pass the time.

Alternatively, they could arrange to go to the inner city training grounds to watch other people fight and vent their energy.

Some curious members began searching the city for other people.

The missing survivors were eventually found near the eastern city wall.

"This is... the entertainment center is open for business?"

"It's not completely finished yet, but some areas have been opened, and most importantly!"

The member who answered winked and pointed to an area.

The words "Red Light District" are displayed prominently at the entrance.

A street leads inward, flanked by lavishly decorated buildings, resembling hotel structures.

The building was decorated to the highest standards, and its structure was designed with the physical strength of those with superpowers in mind.

The walls were thickened, and the sound insulation and various protective measures were taken to the extreme. A large number of people with supernatural abilities participated in the construction.

Ultimately, some areas that could accommodate nearly 10,000 people were prioritized and completed.

In addition to the 'red-light district,' there are also areas such as casinos, movie theaters, and arcades, where survivors can enter to spend money and relax.

The survivor who struck up a conversation gave him a knowing smile and headed toward the red-light district.

"I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to go and experience it first."

"I've accumulated over a thousand points, and I'm just wondering where to spend them."

The newly returned members quickly caught up, jokingly saying:

"Weren't you planning to save up points to buy property? Are you not going to save any this time?"

"I'm so uncomfortable being cooped up. I wouldn't dare mess around with anyone I meet outside. What bad luck it would be if I ended up with a biohazard mother!"

"I heard that the girls in the red-light district are all officially certified, so there's no need to worry about them being dirty."

"Let's go together!"

“...”

Zhou Xindong had already noticed the mental state of the Dawn City members, and this action was just the first step in releasing the floodgates.

There will be other ways to help them relax and prevent them from going to extremes.
