After the zombies were cleared out, the entire city of Shanghai came under the control of Dawn City.

Survivors not belonging to Dawn City are prohibited from entering to search for supplies without permission.

Even the survivors from the original official sources gave the same story.

Have a problem with that? Let's settle it with our fists!

The commotion during the zombie cleanup was so great that it could be clearly heard even outside the city.

The zombie extermination plan in Shanghai, which lasted for more than half a month, saw many survivors spontaneously join the cleanup team.

Even those who didn't ultimately join Dawn City, Huang Zhao still designated an area for them to search for resources.

However, those who did not contribute and tried to take advantage of the situation when the harvest was in full swing were kept outside the warning line.

The blood-soaked corpse serves as a warning to those who aspire to climb the ranks.

After three days of rest, the hunting teams of Dawn City began to expand outwards.

Dawn City's principle of not supporting idlers ensures that all members, even if they have enough points to last for a period of time, still go out to carry out missions without stopping.

Based in Shanghai, they expanded outwards from outside Dawn City, eliminating all mutated beasts and zombies along the way.

They established temporary bases on the outskirts of the city and launched attacks into the city to hunt zombies.

Seeing the speed at which the Dawn City hunting team was advancing, Huang Zhao said with some satisfaction:

"Not bad. By focusing on a few points and spreading out to hunt zombies, the efficiency is actually much higher than before."

Zhou Xindong, who was in charge of overall coordination, interjected, "That's true, but letting them roam freely will inevitably lead to them becoming disaffected..."

At present, a large number of level three and four ability users are top-tier in any city and can easily gather a group of followers.

Zhou Xindong's concern lies in this: the survivors who have tasted the benefits may choose to break away from Dawn City and establish their own kingdoms.

Huang Zhao pulled Zhou Xindong into his arms and chuckled, "So what if we let them be independent? What we need to do is not to control everyone."

"As long as we have overwhelming power, we can easily set things right and get everything back on track."

"Now... let the bullets fly for a while..."

Hearing Huang Zhao's confident words, Zhou Xindong nestled obediently beside him like a kitten.

Huang Zhao continued looking down. To the east of Shanghai, over a thousand members of the Dawn City Elite Hunting Team were stationed.

As he requested, they were to lure mutated sea beasts to hunt and obtain high-level energy crystals.

Hunting a massive level 4 marine mutant beast with most of its members still at level 3 is no small challenge for them.

Therefore, Qin Yi and Jin Gang were also on site, responsible for managing the order as a backup to prevent the mutated beasts in the sea from invading from the opposite direction.

At this time, the level six mutated beasts in the sea are among the most powerful species and rarely approach the shore.

The hunting grounds to the west are developing smoothly, with a considerable number of level-three energy crystals and a small number of level-four energy crystals being sent back every day.

The list of the second batch of members to be promoted to level four ability users has been drafted, and at that time 200 people will receive level four energy crystals provided by Huang Zhao.

The news had already spread among the members of Dawn City, and everyone was eager to prove themselves and earn the opportunity to advance to level four.

In this apocalyptic world, increasing one's strength is the only guarantee for survival, and no one will let this opportunity pass by.

"By the way, among the newly joined survivors, there are quite a few special ability users. How should we arrange for these people?"

Huang Zhao turned his gaze to the list of members of Dawn City, where more than ten specially marked names appeared before him.
