After the black rain stopped, Zhang Hao began to take stock of the supplies and crystal cores.
There are approximately 600,000 tons of food, 2,400 first-level crystal nuclei, and 950 second-level crystal nuclei.
In just seven days, they killed nearly a thousand level-two zombies.
Are there many?
For the average person, this is certainly a lot.
But compared to the total number of zombies, it's just a drop in the ocean.
The organization currently has 65 members, with about 20 being Level 2 Awakeners and only two Level 3 Awakeners, Fang Ping and Wu Yanfeng.
The rest were all Level 1 Awakened, and they were definitely no match for a group of Level 2 zombies.
The early stages of the apocalypse are the easiest time to obtain crystal cores.
Low-level zombies are not very smart and killing them is not difficult. However, once large numbers of intelligent zombies appear in the mid-to-late game, the difficulty of obtaining crystal cores will increase dramatically.
Should we use level 2 crystal cores for the level 1 members?
If given the opportunity, as long as they have decent talent, all of them could reach level two in just a few days.
But wouldn't this be counterproductive?
Hu Xiaonan had already consulted a divination and confirmed that the spies did not exist.
His loyalty is alright, especially since he dominated yesterday and the various perks he received had some effect.
Zhang Hao fell into deep thought, and soon he made a decision.
The problem of forcing growth by pulling up seedlings is actually easy to solve.
Let everyone gradually improve while killing zombies; those who have reached this point all have some basic skills.
The most crucial issue is that the level one members are too weak. Although the black rain has passed, the zombies' berserk mode has not disappeared.
At night, hundreds of zombies besieged the base, and the level one members were easily overwhelmed.
If there is any damage, then the loss outweighs the gain.
Once everyone reaches level two, they can replenish the organization more quickly.
After deciding on a plan,
Zhang Hao gathered everyone together and announced the news: "The black rain has ended, but all the zombies have reached level two. The berserk mode has not disappeared, and the crisis is not over."
"Considering everyone's good performance these days, the channel for exchanging Level 2 Crystal Cores will be opened ahead of schedule. Members who need to exchange for Level 2 Crystal Cores can apply to Fang Ping. The exchange period will last for seven days."
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
"Can I exchange for level 2 crystal cores now?"
"The guild leader is so kind! I can level up to level two too!"
"That's awesome! We can redeem it without any assessment. Guild Master is amazing!"
"..."
The first-level members were all very happy.
Previously, they weren't allowed to exchange level-two crystal cores, so they didn't have much resistance to it.
Everyone wants to get stronger and kill zombies, but upgrading is too slow without a level 2 crystal core.
So I felt like I was being treated differently.
Now that they have the secondary crystal core, everyone's loyalty to Zhang Hao has soared to a new level.
Zhang Hao was delighted. As for why it was set at seven days?
It's very simple.
If you can't reach level two in seven days, then your talent is really mediocre.
After all, it had only been two or three days since Fang Ping was promoted to level two and was using level one crystal cores.
If a level 2 crystal core is used, the upgrade can be completed in half a day.
For ordinary members, seven days is long enough.
Zhang Hao wants elite members; whoever can advance to level two faster will prove that they have higher talent.
If their loyalty is good, then cultivate it.
The members exchanged for about two hundred level-two crystal cores, leaving more than seven hundred.
"Alright, everyone, once you've absorbed the crystal cores, it's time to go out and kill zombies. Work in five-person teams and slowly clear out the zombies in the surrounding streets, but don't spread out too much and be sure to support each other."
"Yes, Chairman."
"Okay, everyone else can leave. Fang Ping, Wu Yanfeng, Mo Yu, Mao Ce, Meng Wu, Xu Mo, Xu Mengyan, and Hu Xiaonan, the eight of you stay."
At his command, everyone returned to their rooms.
Zhang Hao and the others went up to the second floor of the supermarket.
"Please sit down."
"Thank you, Chairman Xie."
The eight people sat on the opposite sofa, waiting quietly.
Zhang Hao looked at them and said slowly, "I won't beat around the bush with you. The task of the rest of the organization is to kill zombies and collect more crystal cores. If we can obtain supplies, that would be best, but we won't force it if we can't."
“We now have over sixty people in our Dawn Group, divided into twelve five-person squads. We need three battalion commanders. Xiao Fang and Lao Wu have already been confirmed as battalion commanders, but we still need a third battalion commander. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?”
"this……"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
That's hard to say.
If Fang Ping and Wu Yanfeng were to say it aloud, it would give the impression of trying to win over their own faction.
If someone else recommends me, will I feel like I'm overestimating myself?
What if I recommend it to someone else?
That won't do. Who wouldn't want to be the brigade leader?
And most importantly, they don't know if the chairman has someone in mind.
If they already have a target, wouldn't recommending others just cause them a lot of trouble?
"What? Don't you have anyone in mind? Or are you afraid to say it?" Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"President, may I?" Meng Wu asked.
"Not for now, Xiao Wu, you know why."
"All right."
Meng Wu gave up trying.
He knew his current task.
The main focus remains on intelligence; other matters cannot be interfered with.
If we can control powerful mutated creatures once we reach level three, then we might be able to make a slight effort.
"Anything else? Self-recommendation is also acceptable." Zhang Hao glanced around.
"..."
Mo Yu and Mao Ce both shook their heads.
One of them was a blacksmith, and the other lacked the necessary skills.
The former has no ambition, and the latter has ambition but lacks ability, so it's better to give it to someone else.
Seeing that no one volunteered,
Xu Mo finally mustered up his courage and raised his hand: "President, I want to give it a try."
Everyone else expected Xu Mo to raise his hand.
After all, Xu Mo is a veteran member with sufficient experience, and he can quickly advance to level three by absorbing level two crystal cores.
It must be him, right?
However, Zhang Hao shook his head: "No."
These words stunned everyone present.
no?
Even veteran member Xu Mo was rejected?
Xu Mo was also stunned for a moment, somewhat unconvinced: "President, my abilities are fully qualified for this position, and I will soon be promoted to level three, so why can't I be the captain?"
"I said no, and that means no. Figure out the reasons yourself."
"this……"
Everyone fell silent.
Zhang Hao's tone was very forceful, showing no respect for Xu Mo whatsoever.
Fang Ping and Wu Yanfeng, who knew the inside story, didn't dare to say anything more, probably because the brother and sister had talked back to the chairman last time.
Xu Mo lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly.
Xu Mengyan, who was standing next to her, also remained silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat suffocating.
Zhang Hao ignored his emotions and turned to look at Mao Ce.
"You will serve as the third battalion commander."
"I?"
Mao Ce was dumbfounded.
How could such a good thing have fallen into his lap?
