It is precisely because of this clear understanding that Xu Xing will stop at nothing to seek every opportunity to become stronger.
This refers not only to him personally, since even the greatest individual strength is limited.
Even if he were alone and advanced to the seventh-level high-level superhuman, he would not be able to face the relentless onslaught of tens of thousands of zombies.
Only by growing together with the team can we carve out our own territory in this chaotic world.
Thanks to the intensified propaganda efforts, all the major and minor factions in Jinghai City now know that there is a large human stronghold within the city.
Whether they were seeking refuge or exchanging supplies, more and more people with superpowers began to try to make contact with the villa area.
To maximize benefits, Xuxing will thoroughly optimize its contribution points, turning them into a rigid "circulating currency" within the villa area.
And the impact continues to spread outwards.
In the city today, apart from the zombie rear area, all the available supplies have already been looted.
Some factions that stockpiled large amounts of supplies in the early stages are not under much pressure and can hold out for a while longer.
The other smaller factions, however, were not so lucky.
They didn't want to rely on others' power and live a life of dependence, but on the other hand, they lacked resources and lived a life of irregular hunger.
They held a lot of crystal cores in their hands, but they couldn't turn them into food. If nothing unexpected happened, their final fate would likely be to face reality after suffering heavy losses.
They either take a gamble and flee the city to the suburbs, or submit to other forces.
It was precisely because of this demand that Xu Xing provided them with this platform.
Any human being, even complete strangers, can exchange crystal cores for contribution points, which are the so-called "currency".
Afterwards, these contribution points can be used to purchase food, daily necessities, and even medicine.
By allowing these outsiders to enjoy the benefits of contribution points, and by collecting taxes based on a percentage, Xu Xing earns his profits.
However, due to various changes, the actual purchasing power of contribution points is shrinking significantly, also known as inflation.
Back then, a level 1 crystal core could be exchanged for ten contribution points, but now, a level 2 crystal core can only be exchanged for five contribution points.
Even so, it solved the predicament of those forces that were extremely short of resources.
This win-win situation, in turn, has led to a wider dissemination of the contributions made.
Previously, contribution points were tallied manually, which was not only inefficient but also prone to corruption.
In Xuhang, they finally found a useful tool when they came across the largest local bank in Jinghai City.
"Coin-making machine".
Among the survivors, several engineers were selected and, using Xu Xing's telekinetic abilities, created a unique coin.
The coin is made of an alloy, which even contains a certain proportion of crystal fragments, and is inlaid with gold in another part.
With the help of various superhumans with relevant expertise, a large number were quickly produced.
This currency is virtually impossible to counterfeit with current technology, and each one has a unique serial number.
In this way, this form of currency becomes eligible for transactions.
According to Xu Xing's observations, the two parties involved in the transaction were not limited to the villa area; other forces also commonly used this currency for transactions.
In the future, as long as it is managed properly, even if Xu Xing no longer goes out to "hunt", he can still enjoy huge profits with this financial system.
Just like a superpower before the apocalypse.
At the same time, other cities across the country, such as Dasha City, Dahai City, and Dahan City, were also carrying out final liquidation.
In some heavily guarded areas, the army successfully drove away a portion of the zombies in the early stages. Through continuous sweeps, most areas of the city have been liberated, becoming cities truly under human control.
For example, it occupies the strategically important city of Dahan.
The situation inside the city has stabilized, and the last remaining zombies are putting on a desperate last stand.
However, the populous city of Dahai was not so fortunate.
Although there were troops stationed in the surrounding area, the extremely large population quickly spawned a large number of mid-level and above zombies.
The balance was shattered in an instant. The army was crushed and flattened. The zombies in the city went on an endless frenzy, and most of the superhumans inside were driven to the brink of despair.
It becomes a city controlled by zombies.
In fact, besides humans and zombies, there are also a few scattered cities ruled by mutated beasts.
For example, in Da Kun City, which has primeval forests within the province, both zombies and humans have become nourishment for mutated beasts.
In cities like Jinghai, where humans and zombies are slowly reaching a balance, such a balance is extremely rare, but it is about to be broken.
After several days of exploration and comparison, Xu Xing finally discovered an important clue in a neighborhood.
Xu Xing had been searching for a lot of information about strategic grain reserves online even before the apocalypse began, but no one leaked this news.
Ultimately, he was forced to give up. After the apocalypse began, Xu Xing had been secretly keeping an eye on things and using Bai Ling to conduct reconnaissance.
He knew that where there was grain, there would be rats, and if a large number of rats were observed in a certain place, it meant that it was very likely the location of a granary.
Finally, that afternoon, during the routine zombie clearing, Bai Ling brought him a message: the area across the street was filled with an aura he utterly loathed, and it was quite large.
Meanwhile, many mutated cats were also found in the surrounding area.
Xu Xing immediately decided to gather people to conduct a thorough investigation of the area.
"What exactly is going on inside Bai Ling?" Xu Xing asked, looking at Bai Ling who had returned. Behind Bai Ling were many mutated cats of varying sizes, all of whom had been subdued by its domineering aura and had directly submitted to it.
"There are so many rats inside, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there are tens of thousands. The rat king among them has a very powerful aura."
"I've made contact with quite a few of our kind here. Although the group is only a hundred or so, all the survivors are elites, and they've promised to assist me."
Xu Xing did not bring any large beasts with him this time to deal with the small rats; the large beasts would have been a burden.
They only brought about three hundred elites, the lowest level of whom were all level two or above superhumans.
Considering the Rat King's high level, Xu Xing did not let Su Xixi come along.
