Chapter 264 The Original Heroine of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (Part 10) "...

"Attention, citizens! Attention! Signs of large-scale zombie activity have recently appeared in our city, and the situation is serious. To effectively protect the lives of all citizens, the following key points for prevention are hereby announced:"

1. Please keep doors and windows tightly closed. If you notice any unusual noises, do not open the door rashly. Minimize unnecessary outdoor activities to reduce the risk to the greatest extent possible.

2. If you must go out, please wear well-sealed clothing and remain vigilant at all times. Avoid lingering in areas with limited visibility, narrow spaces, or dim lighting to prevent zombie attacks.

Third, due to the current situation, power and water outages are expected in the urban area for several days. Please remain calm. Relevant departments are working diligently to restore power and water supplies as soon as possible.

…………

The loudspeaker was very loud, and the content had a strange sense of familiarity, especially like the warning loudspeakers that the authorities would play on a loop in various streets during a typhoon.

When the survivors saw their leader flying in the sky through the window, shouting through a megaphone, they immediately felt a sense of security, and although they were still in great pain, they had hope to live on.

Many people even squatted on the ground, covering their faces and wailing.

At the same time, the sound of the loudspeaker also lured away many zombies. Once they were in a deserted area, Lin You would use a large amount of gasoline to surround the zombie horde and then set it on fire with a lighter.

Because it was a deliberately chosen, spacious, and deserted place, many people saw this scene through their windows; the dazzling flames were their hope for survival.

During the day, Lin You led the leaders to shout through loudspeakers and set fires, and at night they flew around distributing relief food, which reduced the city's mortality rate by 90%.

Liu Yiyi and Cheng Xiao worked together more and more smoothly, collecting all kinds of supplies from supermarket warehouses and roadside shops and storing them in the building next to the administrative hall.

The military wasn't idle either. While clearing out large numbers of zombies, they also accelerated the restoration of water and electricity. After Lin You and the leaders took turns flying for three days, water and electricity were restored to normal in three streets and more than a dozen residential areas near the administration building.

With the addition of walls and electric fences at the street corners, the city's security base was beginning to take shape.

On the other side, when Xiao Saying fought with the members of the Longyuan team for the third time, Long Yu finally couldn't stand her personality anymore. Just then, he received the news that Cheng Xiao was still alive and had recovered.

Overjoyed, Long Yu didn't care whether she could foresee the future or not. Taking advantage of Xiao Saying's angry remark that she was leaving the team to act alone, he led the entire team to defect to the authorities.

The Liu family of three did not move over. They had plenty of food and drink, as well as water and electricity. They simply hitched a ride with Lin You every day to help collect and transport supplies with their daughter.

After more people with superpowers joined the base and participated in rescue operations, Lin You and the three members of the Liu family were no longer so busy.

At the base, both ordinary people and those with special abilities can earn points through labor, which is similar to the wages before the apocalypse. Some elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people will also be assigned relatively simple jobs, such as planting vegetables and cleaning, to ensure their basic survival needs.

This reassured the previously uncertain people, allowing them to resume their work and lives as usual, as if they had returned to a state before the apocalypse.

But for the administrators, this is just the beginning. They not only have to rescue the people in their own city, but also lend a hand to the smaller counties below and even the neighboring cities.

Lin You no longer needed to worry about these things; the tension that had been building since she arrived in this world finally eased.

Although it's not explicitly stated in the storyline of this world, it can be inferred from some details that zombies in the early stages of the apocalypse are the easiest to deal with.

If we wait until later stages, zombies will evolve, mutated animals and plants will evolve, and human casualties will increase, and our living space will only be continuously compressed.

Moreover, most people's thinking is still constrained by laws and rules. If this continues for too long, and people live in a disorderly environment for too long, it will only become more difficult to establish a new order.

Lin You had already reported this matter to her superiors, so she didn't need to worry about the follow-up matters. She went to work with the three members of the Liu family every day and took them back to sleep on the sixtieth floor at night.

The food at the base was mediocre, but fortunately they could cook for themselves at home. The advantage of living alone was now evident: no matter what delicious food they ate, no one would be envious.

The vegetable seeds that Su Wanwan planted earlier grew very well after Liu Yiyi sprinkled some diluted spiritual spring water on them. The crisp vegetable leaves were so tender that they released a burst of juice when gently pinched.

"Mom, this vegetable is best for hot pot. Let's stew a duck as the base and have hot pot today!" Liu Yiyi looked at the greens and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

With Lin You providing logistical support, she really didn't lack food during this period, but she didn't get to eat many bites of these fresh green vegetables.

Su Wanwan had no objections, and even made a special trip to the base to exchange some beef, mutton, and mushrooms, and also brought out the vermicelli from home.

Hot pot tastes better when eaten outdoors. Liu Jingyuan lit the stove, Su Wan started seasoning the broth, and Liu Yiyi immediately picked and washed the long-awaited vegetable leaves.

Lin You wasn't idle either; she took over the processing of beef and mutton. Normally, for mutton rolls and beef rolls, the meat is tightly rolled up, frozen solid in the refrigerator, and then sliced ​​into thin slices using a slicer.

With spiritual power, it's not so troublesome anymore. Slicing the frozen meat is done in one go. Lin You didn't even need to draw his sword. Slicing a lamb roll was enough for him with just sword energy.

Liu Yiyi hadn't even washed the vegetable leaves properly yet, but the beef and lamb rolls were already prepared. Lin You also washed a bunch of mushrooms and made some dipping sauces.

They had a complete selection of seasonings, and Lin You even had the recipes. The dish she made immediately received everyone's praise.

The hot pot meal was very satisfying, and the most popular item was naturally the crisp and refreshing leafy greens. The greens, irrigated by the spiritual spring, were excellent in both taste and health benefits.

Lin You didn't feel anything, but the three members of the Liu family felt much lighter. Even some minor back pain caused by being too busy during this period was cured without any medicine.

"Your bodies might not be able to handle this spiritual spring if you drink it directly, but it's quite good to use it as a seasoning when you dilute it and use it to water vegetables or cook. It's beneficial to your health."

Lin You's suggestion was unanimously approved, and the Liu family's food tasted better and better as a result.

As safe zones gradually spread, cell phones began to get signals, recorders started to have channels, and cars began to travel through the city.

Within a week, the 60-story building where the Liu family lived was cleared out and connected to water and electricity.

With fewer people and more houses now, people are more inclined to live in neighborhoods closer to the city hall, as these areas offer a higher level of security.

The house that was originally priceless was nothing compared to the fact that Lin You and the Liu family had the highest contribution points. The six-story apartment they lived in only cost a fraction of Lin You's contribution points.

The name registered was Liu Yiyi. Liu's parents were initially unwilling, but they were persuaded to stay until Lin You made it clear that she could not stay there for long.

By the time the second batch of vegetables from the Liu family's rooftop was ready to be cooked, the city began to have roads, and helicopters were also available.

The transportation work of Lin You and the three members of the Liu family was gradually replaced by technology. After explaining the situation to the senior leader, the three of them resigned.

Lin You was the only one who couldn't resign because she was too capable. However, she no longer needed to clock in every day; she could just lend a hand when needed.

Liu's father and mother quickly used their contribution points as capital to start the first small workshop in the safe zone.

Although it was just a very basic explosion-proof fork manufacturing factory, using scrap metal as raw material and having Lin Youfei help find the machines, the factory still managed to get started despite some difficulties.

Based on his experience fighting zombies, Liu Jingyuan wasn't sure how effective the riot fork he created would be against humans, but those who went out to explore and fight zombies all said it was very useful.

Having been specially trained by Lin You several times and personally used the riot fork to kill hundreds of zombies, Liu Jingyuan naturally knew which angle of the riot fork was more convenient to use.

The spiritual spring water in Liu Yiyi's "golden finger" was handed over by Lin You. A bottle was delivered every three to five days, disguised as a special medicine, and used to save many people injured by zombies.

After no longer needing to deliver goods, Liu Yiyi began to study her cheat code and even seriously set up a shop downstairs in her building, opening a restaurant called "Since We're Here".

Now, there are some residents in the sixty-story building, and the elevators are working properly, so Lin You is no longer needed as a human helicopter.

It only took Liu Yiyi about ten minutes to get from the top floor to the restaurant. The restaurant's name was rather hastily written, and its advertising wasn't very effective. The only thing there was a small blackboard hanging at the entrance with two lines of text written on it:

Collect various mutated plants.

Today's special offer, exclusively for wood-type ability users.

"Sister Tong, it's been three days and we still haven't opened for business. Is it really true that no one comes here?" Liu Yiyi stirred the small pot in front of her with a spatula. The pot contained wisteria petals with mutated wisteria.

"Among those hundreds of people in the previous unit, there must have been some people with superpowers. Even if other people with superpowers didn't come, the leaders who have been paying attention to us would have sent someone over to investigate."

A few more days passed, and Liu Yiyi's shop still had no customers. Lin You took the opportunity to keep an eye on her and improve her combat skills, not wasting a single second.

Some ordinary people followed Liu's father's example and started small workshops. Some made lightweight, convenient protective suits that could prevent scratches and bites, while others began to make convenient and durable dry rations. Some of the bolder ordinary people began to take the initiative to deal with zombies.

After all, killing zombies not only gives you a lot of contribution points, but also merit points. Once you raise your merit points to a certain level, you'll get a lot of subsidies and benefits.

Moreover, even if you get bitten by a zombie, it doesn't matter. You can spend some contribution points to exchange for a life-saving medicine. Everyone thinks that everything is going well.

Only two months have passed since the apocalypse began, and almost everyone alive in the city is in the safe zone.

Aside from a few individuals who had become too reckless and committed crimes after the apocalypse, there was also Xiao Sa Ying outside.

When she first discovered that the Dragon Abyss Squad was missing, she was angry for a while, but after living there for a while, she was actually quite comfortable with it.

No one stared at her with sarcastic remarks anymore, and that bastard Long Yu no longer took her side. When she ate a few sausages and drank a few bottles of yogurt, no one was watching her covetously anymore.

She finds her own supplies and eats and drinks her own food. She's quite skilled and can easily handle a small squad of zombies. Why would she need to follow Long Yu and support his bunch of hindrances?

Xiao Saying lived a carefree life for a while. Even after hearing about the establishment of the safe base, she continued to do as she pleased and did not intend to be controlled by the base, until she met Long Yu, who was out on a mission.

He is completely different now from when he was the team leader, when he always looked like he had a deep-seated grudge. Not only does he look much more relaxed and at ease, but he has also lost the authority he once had when interacting with others.

Not only did he team up with other team members he had previously clashed with to do missions, but he wasn't even the team leader.

Xiao Saying was shocked and forgot about their falling out. "Long Yu, what happened to you?!"

Knowing that Cheng Xiao was still alive and the other two team members were also safe, Long Yu's hostility towards Xiao Saying lessened considerably. Now, when she asked him about it, he even had the mood to crack a joke.

"Miss Xiao, long time no see. Did you find me more handsome? What's so surprising about that? I didn't expect you to still be so loud and boisterous."

Xiao Saying was still incredulous. Seeing his grinning face, she became even more frantic, raising her voice considerably.

“Long Yu should be a serious, aloof, and domineering figure. You are the backbone of the entire Longyuan team. How can you be so unreserved in your image, joking and laughing with people?”

Long Yu waved his hand dismissively: "Where is the Dragon Abyss Squad anymore? Everyone has found a job and is living a peaceful life. I was stern back then to make the team easier to manage, but now that Dragon Abyss has disbanded, why should I keep up the act?!"

"Dragon Abyss has disbanded?!" Xiao Saying almost screamed. "How could you disband Dragon Abyss? You were supposed to lead Dragon Abyss to create a new power and become the number one in the world!"

Long Yu remained unmoved. "This is another result of your so-called precognition, isn't it? But every time you predict the future, it's accompanied by trouble. Why should I give up a peaceful life and become the number one person?"
