Three minutes later, Ning Chuxia arrived in front of the shelter building.
Huang Zhao manipulated Chen Run to welcome Ning Chuxia into the shelter and said to her:
"He's waiting for you on the fourth basement level."
Ning Chuxia hadn't even had a chance to see the luxurious interior of the first floor of the shelter.
Then, guided by Chen Run, who was being manipulated by Huang Zhao, they walked to the elevator in the shelter and went to the fourth basement level.
Huang Zhao then controlled Chen Run to sit down on the sofa in the hall, and his spirit returned to his physical body.
"It's exhausting, having to switch back and forth like this."
If this keeps up, I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown!
Outside the elevator on the fourth basement level, Ning Chuxia saw Huang Zhao wearing a bathrobe.
Although they hadn't seen each other for four years, the two didn't feel any awkwardness.
Ning Chuxia felt that the sunny and cheerful boy in front of her had changed a lot.
Although his appearance hasn't changed much, his demeanor has become much more mature and composed.
He spoke affectionately to Huang Zhao:
"Long time no see, Senior Brother Huang Zhao."
"Long time no see, Junior Sister Chuxia."
The greeting was simple and unremarkable.
It felt as if we weren't in the apocalypse, but rather meeting an old classmate in a coffee shop.
They stared at each other for a few seconds before Huang Zhao turned away before the atmosphere became awkward.
He led Ning Chuxia to the lobby of the lounge and asked:
Would you like to have breakfast first?
The shelter chef's cooking skills are pretty good.
After getting up in the morning, Ning Chuxia simply ate some bread.
After Zheng Lan went out to carry out her mission, she set off for the shelter.
Although I really wanted to try a hot breakfast that I hadn't had in a long time, I still declined:
"No need, just tell me what you need me to do first."
With a slight smile, Huang Zhao did not insist and said to Ning Chuxia:
"Okay, let's get down to business first."
You should have already looked at some of the materials on the terminal I gave you yesterday.
There are now nearly 600 survivors in Dawn City, and their food, clothing, housing, and transportation all need to be managed.
I now need to assign tasks to the survivors every day, as well as use my superpowers to perceive what is happening in the city for extended periods of time.
I was feeling a bit short of energy, so I recommended you to the city lord to assist me.
Seeing Ning Chuxia's somewhat uneasy expression after hearing what he had said about perception, Huang Zhao jokingly said:
"Don't worry, only I can see what I perceive."
I won't tell anyone else what happened in your room.
Hearing Huang Zhao's teasing, Ning Chuxia said with some embarrassment and indignation:
"Alright, stop talking!"
"Don't you dare sneak into my room again!"
She smiled gently and stopped teasing the somewhat adorable Ning Chuxia in front of her.
Huang Zhao said in a serious tone:
"In this magical city, in this city of dawn, there are almost no people I can trust."
We've known each other since high school, and you're the only person I can think of!
Besides, my family is all in Guangzhou, and I'm very worried about my parents' current situation..."
Hearing Huang Zhao's words, Ning Chuxia felt a little touched.
After the apocalypse broke out, Ning Chuxia felt helpless and lost. If Zheng Lan hadn't been there for her, she felt she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Maybe she'll rush towards Guangzhou crying, only to die on the way...
Therefore, Huang Zhao's recognition of him and the feeling of sharing the same plight quickly brought the two closer.
Huang Zhao looked at Ning Chuxia with a serious tone and sincerity:
"If it weren't for the fact that the journey back to Guangzhou was too long and dangerous."
I've already set off back to check on my parents' situation..."
Mentioning her family, Ning Chuxia's heart tightened, and she quickly nodded:
"Senior brother, when are you planning to leave? Can I take you with me?"
Sensing Ning Chuxia's urgency, Huang Zhao did not hide his plan from her.
He said to Ning Chuxia, who was looking at him expectantly:
"I will set off after breaking through to level four. At the current pace, it will take about 9 more days."
Although Guangzhou's population density is not as high as Shanghai's, it was still a metropolis with nearly 20 million people before the apocalypse.
The area is teeming with zombies, but even if you break through to level four, you are not guaranteed absolute safety.
"You're not strong enough; you might encounter danger if you travel with me!"
Seeing that Ning Chuxia was a little anxious, Huang Zhao added:
"You can tell me your home address."
I will help you check on your aunt and uncle's situation.
After comforting Ning Chuxia, Huang Zhao began to explain to her the work that needed to be done at this time.
The main task is to integrate the resources of Dawn City with the assistance of the AI.
Improve Dawn City's points redemption system, resource management system, and personnel allocation system.
Huang Zhao didn't have the time or energy to do these detailed tasks, so these modules were still in a very rough state at this point.
I can't leave everything to Brother Jie and give him too much power.
However, it's also not advisable to entrust the task to someone unfamiliar with the situation, as it's easy for loopholes to be designed and exploited.
Huang Zhao couldn't possibly pay attention to such details all the time; once the loss was discovered, it would be too late to undo it.
Moreover, the resources and member information possessed by Dawn City cannot be disclosed to just anyone.
Huang Zhao felt at ease having Ning Chuxia do these meticulous tasks for him.
With the assistance of AI, this isn't a particularly difficult technical task.
Ning Chuxia only needs to describe her needs to the AI and then choose from the results it outputs.
As he spoke, Huang Zhao led Ning Chuxia to the main control console in the control center.
Ning Chuxia looked at the anthropomorphic image of the AI on the main control panel screen and glanced at Huang Zhao with some disdain.
Steamed goose heart with four kinds of vegetarian dishes!
Even though she was a girl, Ning Chuxia was deeply impressed by Ai Li.
"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that!"
This isn't the image I created; go look at Chen Run!
Upon hearing Huang Zhao's words, Ai Li on the control panel immediately displayed a wronged expression:
"Master, are you also disgusted with Airi?"
Tears seemed about to fall at any moment; her appearance was truly pitiful.
"Hehe, Master?"
Ning Chuxia had an "I know, I know" look on her face, and mentally labeled Huang Zhao as a shut-in.
Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly, Huang Zhao stopped dwelling on the matter and said to Ai Li:
“Grant Ning Chuxia Level 3 management authority.”
"In the confirmed identity information, the highest authority holder is: Huang Zhao."
Confirm that you have the authority to grant permissions.
An administrator has been added: Ning Chuxia.
Upon hearing Huang Zhao's instruction, Ai Li immediately put on a serious face and replied in a completely emotionless voice.
Level 3 management authority allows the AI to access the shelter's resources and grants Ning Chuxia the right to freely enter and exit the shelter.
It can also utilize the computing power of the AI to perform the task of finely integrating the resources of Dawn City.
Huang Zhao gestured for Ning Chuxia to walk to the console to complete a series of identity verifications and bindings.
Ning Chuxia followed Huang Zhao's instructions and walked to the control panel.
