Shi Jiu looked into the distance. Hazy clouds appeared in the distance. She took out her tablet and looked at the approximate area on it. It basically covered most of City B. The route explored during the previous event also appeared in the town.
All the buildings in City B were destroyed in this upgrade, and the zombies nearby were directly eliminated. Currently, one edge of the town is very close to the bridge where the group of people from City A passed, and most of the buildings are in the center of the town.
"It seems that cars need to be built faster. It will be difficult to walk across this small town on two legs." Shi Jiu thought of another problem.
The main gate is now very far away from the central area, at least several kilometers away. The farmlands, streams, orchards, ponds, etc. originally near the main gate have also been expanded a lot in this upgrade. It can be said that except for the very spacious road in the middle, there are planting and breeding areas on both sides.
But this is also good, as it can be distinguished from the central residential area and activity area. However, it would be best to install a station every few meters.
We can also arrange for employees to enter the factory and start production activities today, otherwise if the car doesn’t come out, they will be exhausted to death.
Eight o'clock arrived quickly. Many people developed the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early during this period. According to the usual practice, they got up, washed up, and went out to have breakfast. Many people also had breakfast at home.
As early as before eight o'clock, Shi Jiu asked 001 to make a list of people suitable for the job and sent a group notification to go to work. Many people found surprises when they woke up, and went out happily, ready to take on new work, but as soon as they opened the door.
"Wow! This... has changed again?" Someone noticed the changes in the distance at a glance, and the layout was somewhat different from yesterday.
"Oh my God, this area is so huge! Let me take a look at the factory... It's two kilometers away from our residential area. Isn't it a bit far? It will take a long time to walk there." Someone took out his mobile phone to look at the map, and the map also updated the current route to the town in real time.
"Look, the names on the phone have been changed. It seemed to be called Sifang Villa originally, but now it is Sifang Town." Someone discovered a blind spot. It was originally a hotel, with a villa behind it, and now it is a town.
"This... the boss's special ability is so magical, and it can be upgraded." Someone exclaimed, why does this look so much like a game.
"Look at what you said. Superpowers can upgrade naturally. The guy next door with wood-type superpowers was able to build a wooden house with branches after upgrading his superpowers. However, it consumes a lot of energy and can't be maintained for long. The boss must be a big shot with mutant superpowers!"
There was a person who had seen many people with super powers do many things that he had never thought of before, and he insisted that the boss was a super power boss.
After hearing this, the people around him also thought it made sense.
"The boss's ability is really special. He must be here to save the world. We small fry should just cling to the boss. We are doing pretty well now." It's not that no one has envied him and even thought about investigating.
But when I think about the fact that I still live here and have a pretty comfortable life every day, I stop worrying and just live a good life.
"The problem now is that there will probably be cars in the future, so it won't be a problem to go back and forth every day. I still have a lot of vegetables in the fields, and that place is farther away than the road to the factory." Back to the present, I still have to worry about the distance and time.
"Of course there is! I even saw a car factory, and there's a bus stop on the map. Let's go! Today is my first day at work, and I don't want to be late."
Many conversations like this can be heard everywhere in the town, and in the end they all come back to work. After all, only by working can you get a salary and continue to live a good life here.
But for the people in City A, this was simply a miracle. With their previous experience in cultivating immortals and preconceived theories of immortal arts, many of them believed that spiritual energy had revived, and that this end of the world was an opportunity, and that the future would become an era of cultivating immortals.
Originally, this theory was proposed by some scholars at the round table. After they came out, they talked about it in the villa. Because the situation in the villa was so incompatible with the outside world, he couldn't help but say a few more words.
There were quite a few people around at that time, and the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was attentive.
The activated powers of today's psychics are also strong evidence. They are still unable to absorb the crystal cores from zombies, which is completely different from the content of the novels they have imagined in the past. However, in this small town isolated from zombies, they can upgrade by eating.
If that’s not cultivating immortality, then what is?
Shi Jiu's paws were numb when she heard their loud talk. If she didn't have a system task to complete, she would have almost believed these well-reasoned inferences.
Even Shi Jiu was almost fooled, so you can imagine how firmly those people believed in their own speculations. Li Sui also faced theoretical bombardment from many subordinates when he woke up in the morning.
"Director, look at how this villa has transformed into a... small town overnight. Our previous speculation was so accurate. This world may have truly entered an era of cultivating immortals."
"Yes! I suspect that the boss is not unwilling to use the technology. It is possible that this is not due to some high-tech reasons, but just the magic of cultivating immortals. She can directly expand the entire area. Then what is so scary about zombies?" One of them said fanatically.
He always thought that zombies were the key to the solution, but now it seems that zombies may just be monster-like existences, and their main target is still the boss's path to immortality!
Li Sui listened to their quarrels without making any comments. He looked out the window. The clouds and mist were obviously different from yesterday. The different buildings and new things made him more determined in his decision.
They don't care about spiritual energy or cultivating immortals, as long as they have a safe place to live, that's enough.
"Okay, whether it's cultivation or not, you can wait until the boss shows up to ask. I'm going to agree to the solution that Butler Qin proposed yesterday." Li Sui said this decision calmly when they were arguing the most fiercely.
The crowd, who were originally arguing like fighting cocks, seemed to have pressed the pause button, and all the noise stopped abruptly.
Agreed...?
"Director, are you saying... that we should take refuge in this place?" Someone's tone was filled with deep surprise. He thought that they could cooperate at most. When he heard Qin Lou's words yesterday, he felt a little indifferent.
"Almost, but I'm not joining in the name of the shelter, I'm joining as a survivor." Li Sui didn't want to directly merge into the entire shelter. He had also vaguely tested Qin Lou yesterday, and the reply he got was the expected answer.
However... he looked at the expressions of dissatisfaction that suddenly appeared on the faces of many people in front of him, and he thought that his decision should be correct.
"Director! Our shelter is in City A after all. What you are doing is going to disband it, right? I don't agree!" Someone was immediately enraged when he heard this and jumped up and said.
What a joke! If he joined as a survivor, wouldn't that make him just an ordinary person? What privileges would he have? He went on an inspection trip yesterday and either went outside to fight zombies, or worked in the fields.
Just thinking about it made him, a pampered senior executive, feel uncomfortable.
Others thought of this as well and spoke out in disagreement with the decision.
But Li Sui didn't consider their opinions at all. After driving out several people who disagreed, he only left the deputy director.
"If you continue like this, they will probably rebel." Although he was only in charge of the survivors below, he also knew that this group of people had brought a lot of supplies when the shelter was originally built, and had built the shelter bit by bit.
"I know they did a lot of things before, but their intentions weren't right from the start. Haven't you noticed that things in the shelter are getting increasingly weird lately?"
Li Sui knew very well what they had done in the early stages, but the help they provided was not enough for them to start fighting for territory and forming a team in the shelter.
Some people even began to enslave the survivors. If this continues, the shelter will become their backyard.
The deputy director thought about what had happened recently. The death toll had increased compared to before, with many more people dying unnatural deaths. He sighed.
"It would be a good thing if those survivors could come here and live a good life. City A doesn't have many resources anymore."
This is also the reason why Li Sui came here in a hurry. In addition to the internal power struggle, there are also external factors. If a solution is not found, there will be no food to eat in the shelter.
The deputy director wrapped himself in the big cotton-padded jacket he bought yesterday, and lay on the sofa like Ge You, enjoying the massage function of the sofa.
"Actually, regardless of those things, it's not a big deal to come here and work as a wage earner. I've researched those jobs, and given the current environment, at least I won't starve to death."
The deputy director thought about what he did in the shelter. He was busy every day and only had some time to rest at night. If it weren’t for the good physical fitness of the psychic, he really would not be able to bear it.
Just when Li Sui was about to go to Qin Lou to talk about the shelter, Qin Tian woke up soundly in the dormitory and prepared to go to Qin Lou to tell him his identity.
I guess the city didn't see him yesterday. He said that because he is his uncle, we have to give face to the elders.
Just as he was thinking this, he stepped out of the door and found that the villa had changed a lot. He was extremely surprised for a moment. The better the villa was, the greater the bargain he could get!
He observed carefully yesterday and found that the employees in the main building were all ordinary class. If he wanted to find Qin Building, he had to go to the smaller office building next door. He straightened his clothes and walked into the gate with a swagger, but was stopped by the guard at the gate.
"Hello, this is an important office area, please keep out." The other party's tone was gentle but firm, and he stopped Qin Tian outside.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me!" Qin Tian became particularly sensitive after what happened yesterday. He felt that the other party looked down on him. He became furious when he thought of this.
That boss made him lose face so much. When he sees Qin Lou later, he will definitely instigate him to usurp the throne and take control of this place's power. He will torture the woman who humiliated him!
The guard looked at him strangely. The whole villa... no, now the whole town knew about what happened yesterday. After all, someone dared to question the food provided by the boss. Qin Tian had long become the subject of everyone's after-dinner gossip.
But he still had a strong sense of professional ethics. At this time, Qin Tian was just a guest who wanted to come in, so of course he had the responsibility to stop him.
"Sir, even if you are the one who was making trouble yesterday, the rules here were made this morning and guests are not allowed to enter."
Looking at Qin Tian's angry expression, the guard's heart skipped a beat. Could he be trying to cause trouble here? No, he had to call a few more brothers over!
