The next day, in the morning.
The zombies lost their berserk mode and all retreated.
They either wander aimlessly through the streets or stand still in a daze.
But the rain continued for less than seven days, and in just one night, many zombies evolved to level two.
Many people realized the importance of the secondary crystal core, and they killed zombies while holding umbrellas, but Zhang Hao ignored them.
While an umbrella can block the black rain, the black rain will slowly evaporate once it hits the ground.
Breathing in will also make you extremely weak, but it will be a bit slower than being directly rained on.
For a Level 1 Awakener, their physical condition may be greatly reduced after half a day. After a whole day, although they may not be weak, their combat power will be greatly reduced.
When zombies broke into the room at midnight, they could only wait to die.
Moreover, there are tens of millions of zombies; you can't kill them all.
Therefore, Zhang Hao planned to have the two teams split up and collectively kill all the crystal cores when the rain stopped.
Then he was the first to reach level four.
After reaching Level 4, you can basically do whatever you want!
"Let's eat first, then absorb the crystal core."
Zhang Hao gave Raven an instruction, and Raven called Xu Mengyan up.
"Boss, what would you like for breakfast?" Xu Mengyan asked softly.
"Keep it simple, do you know how to make steamed buns?"
"will do."
"Then let's steam a few baskets of buns, both vegetarian and meat-filled, and also make some porridge and eight-treasure congee. It's not too much trouble, is it?"
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
Xu Mengyan lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, boss. You clearly saved me and my brother back then, and I even questioned you yesterday. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
“I’m not angry. I understand your thoughts, but you do need to be a little tougher in the apocalypse. It’s okay if you can’t change your mind right away. Just obey orders,” Zhang Hao said.
"I will obey. You are doing this for our own good. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Really? Then stick your butt out now."
"Huh? Huh? Really?"
Xu Mengyan blushed slightly.
Hesitating, he felt that turning around and bending down was a bit too suggestive.
"Okay, just kidding."
Zhang Hao looked Xu Mengyan up and down.
I noticed that her face had become much thinner, and she looked taller than before.
Zhang Hao asked curiously, "Erpang, have you lost a lot of weight? You don't seem as fat as before."
“Yes, I weighed 160 pounds before the apocalypse, but now I only weigh 120 pounds. It seems that it’s because I used [Light Healing] to treat many people, which consumed a lot of alien energy, and I gradually lost weight,” Xu Mengyan replied.
"Using superpowers to lose weight? That doesn't make sense, does it?"
Zhang Hao's eyes narrowed slightly as he fell into deep thought.
He had seen quite a few awakened beings of the light element in his previous life.
But I've never seen anyone use superpowers to lose weight; Xu Mengyan's light-based healing is incredibly powerful.
He's only a Level 2 Awakener now, yet he's already restored Wu Yanfeng's body, which was almost completely depleted inside and out, to its original state.
While the healing effects of light-based magic are powerful, only those at the intermediate awakened level or higher can achieve this. However, Xu Mengyan can do it at level two.
This clearly suggests that something has been overdrawn.
Could it be vitality?
Or something else?
Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment and then asked, "After each use of [Light Healing], do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"
"I just feel weak for a bit, but I'm fine the next day. However, I haven't fully recovered from the treatment I had with Wu Yanfeng. Sometimes I still feel sleepy," Xu Mengyan said after thinking for a moment.
"Don't treat injuries that are too severe in the future. You may be overworking your body at this stage. Wait until you reach level four or five before trying again. It shouldn't be too much of a burden then."
"Okay, boss."
Seeing how serious the boss was.
Xu Mengyan readily agreed, then turned and went downstairs to cook.
However, on the stairs, remembering what the boss had made him do earlier, she blushed with embarrassment.
An hour later, everyone gathered in the living room on the second floor.
Various kinds of steamed buns are laid out on the table, such as pork buns, red bean buns, vermicelli buns, ham buns, tofu buns, and so on.
Then there were two large pots of congee and eight-treasure porridge.
It looks absolutely delicious.
But no one touched their chopsticks, and no one dared to sit down and eat.
After yesterday's reprimand, everyone was a little afraid that the boss would get angry again, and now food also required contribution points.
But they didn't have much resistance to it; on the contrary, they felt it was much more formal.
“Yesterday I did a count, and according to your different contributions, each of you has contributed more or less.”
"Fang Ping and I were the first to arrive and killed the most zombies. After deducting the points corresponding to the crystal cores consumed each day, the contribution points are 512, Hu Xiaonan 102, Xu Mo 235, and Xu Mengyan 98. However, because Xu Mengyan needs to cook extra meals, she will receive an extra contribution point compensation for each meal, which is now 119."
Zhang Hao slowly said, "When there are more people in the organization in the future, some people may not be used to the communal meals. In that case, we can ask Xu Mengyan to cook for them separately. However, each member should pay her an extra contribution point for each meal. If the food is too complicated, Xu Mengyan can charge more contribution points. If they don't want to, they can eat in the communal meals. Any objections?"
Xu Mengyan said with delight, "No, no, the boss can decide."
This amount may not seem like much, but it's still free money.
Once we have more people in the organization, we'll have enough contribution points for special meals.
Xu Mengyan stared wide-eyed at everyone else.
Being able to cook really makes a difference.
Zhang Fei can also do it, but she's nowhere near as good as the others.
This is a genuine five-star chef; he's skilled in all kinds of dishes, proficient in both Chinese and Western cuisine.
"Then there are Wu Yanfeng, Mo Yu, Zhang Fei, and Mao Ce. Since they just joined yesterday, their contribution points are currently zero. For these everyday meals, such as steamed buns, noodles, rice, and stir-fries, we'll standardize the contribution points. We'll set each meal at 5 contribution points, and they can eat until they're full without paying extra."
Zhang Hao slowly said, "But Mo Yu is our organization's [Blacksmith]. Everyone can go to him to designate exclusive weapons and equipment, but they need to pay extra contribution points. Each time, they need to pay Mo Yu 10 contribution points. Because I helped make them five times before, I now have 50 contribution points."
"If there are more refined equipment in the future, we'll categorize them into different tiers, and then we'll discuss the price. Any objections?"
"No," Mo Yu replied simply.
Ten contribution points.
It may not seem like much, but five times a day is equivalent to fifty level one crystal cores.
Moreover, they can make a fortune without even leaving home.
Mo Yu was also very happy. At this stage, although there were few people and they couldn't earn much, their limited capacity meant they could only make five batches.
But once they become stronger and have more people in their organization, their daily income will be quite substantial.
Everyone else's eyes turned red with envy.
The blacksmith has risen to prominence!
