In Dawn City, thousands of miles away, it was already noon the day after Huang Zhao left.
After inspecting Dawn City in the morning, Brother Jie checked the construction progress of the outer city.
The city lord would respectfully greet Brother Jie whenever he passed by.
"Hello, Brother Jie!"
"Thank you so much, Brother Jie, for saving me!"
Many survivors stopped in their haste and bowed silently in respect when they saw Brother Jie.
Brother Jie nodded slightly in response and returned to his villa in the northern district of Dawn City.
The android maid had prepared a table full of food for him to enjoy.
"Brother Jie, you're back! The food is ready."
Two young women came out of the villa. Seeing that they lived in poverty, Brother Jie offered them assistance.
Based on the idea that it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, I decided to provide them with assistance for the rest of their lives as well.
And so they moved into Brother Jie's villa, enjoying a much more comfortable standard of living than before the apocalypse.
And the energy crystal resources within Brother Jie's authority.
Jay naturally put his arm around the two women and walked towards the restaurant.
"Well, after we eat, we still need to go to the incineration pool and check on the progress of the other survivor teams."
"Brother Jie, you can just assign these tasks to someone else!"
"Exactly! There's no need for you to go there personally!"
While Brother Jie devoured the meat that the other survivors could barely taste, he didn't reply, but instead asked:
"Are you familiar with the jobs I assigned you? Dawn City doesn't tolerate useless people—that's an ironclad rule!"
"Once you get used to it, the exploration team's work isn't complicated, and the rewards are quite good!"
"Thank you for the arrangements, Brother Jie!"
The two girls happily left two red marks on Brother Jie's face.
"Alright, you guys eat, I'm going to rest for a bit!"
Back in his room, Brother Jie took out the level-four poison energy crystal provided by Huang Zhao and began to absorb it.
He has changed his absorption time to noon, so that he can replenish his body with energy and take a nap in the afternoon.
A level three ability user absorbs a level four crystal, plus double the absorption amount of a special type of ability user.
Brother Jie can absorb 288 points of crystal energy per day, and at this time his ability level has reached the mid-stage of level three.
In three more days, I will be able to accumulate enough energy to break through to level four.
After absorbing the crystal, Brother Jie held it up, squinted at the chandelier, and then...
"The taste of power..."
At this point, the number of survivors in Dawn City had already exceeded four thousand.
After Huang Zhao left, he became the supreme ruler of Dawn City.
All survivors live under his control, and he can decide the fate of other survivors with a single word!
After collecting the energy crystals from the incineration pool, Dawn City's inventory of level zero energy crystals will exceed one million!
This quantity is sufficient to upgrade everything in Dawn City to level three.
With a little training, they could form an army that would be able to sweep away any obstacle in the early days of the apocalypse!
At this point, Brother Jie had reached a position far exceeding what he had achieved before the apocalypse.
After carefully storing the crystal, Brother Jie chuckled softly.
"Right now, I'm just an employee."
Close your eyes and prepare to enjoy a moment of leisure in the afternoon.
......
The vibration on his wrist woke up Jay from his sleep.
Upon lifting his head, he discovered it was a message from the reconnaissance team leader:
A level 4 zombie has been spotted 9 kilometers east of Dawn City, heading towards the incineration pool!
The accompanying video shows a fleshy zombie about three meters tall rampaging through a multi-story building.
The huge commotion attracted tens of thousands of zombies who followed it aimlessly westward.
Upon seeing this, Brother Jie's pupils immediately contracted.
"They must never be allowed near the incineration pit!"
"The reconnaissance team is using a drone to lure the zombies and change their direction!"
"Aili! Contact all candidates in the elite hunting team and have a video call at one point!"
The instructions were issued in an orderly manner, and Brother Jie immediately got up and headed towards the West Training Ground.
That should be the place with the most Level 3 members right now.
Although drones could be used to lure the zombies away, Jay wasn't satisfied with that.
This presented a perfect opportunity to test the strength of a level four creature, and he planned to see if he could hunt it down.
There are about 20 members who have reached level three within Dawn City.
Apart from a few individuals who were unwilling to go out on missions, Brother Jie quickly assembled two elite hunting teams composed entirely of Level 3 ability users.
“You are all the elite of Dawn City, the best of the survivors.”
"We can't keep hiding under the city lord's wing and reaping the benefits forever!"
"We must also be able to share the burdens of the city lord and resolve the crisis facing Dawn City!"
"This time we should be dealing with a level four flesh-type zombie!"
Many of the third-level members discussed among themselves after hearing what Brother Jie said.
After all, they haven't actually killed a single level-three mutated creature yet.
It's normal to feel uneasy when facing level four zombies in your first battle.
“I know you are a little worried. Before we set off, the forging team will equip everyone with a titanium alloy shield and some vital areas with dragon scale armor.”
"Of course, most importantly, if we are really outmatched, we can use drones to lure the zombies away, and you all just need to escape."
"Of course, the choice is yours whether to go or not!"
Brother Jie's gaze swept over Zhou Xindong, who was somewhat eager to try, and Huang Mao and others whom he had personally trained.
The main focus is on the other level-three ability users; those from Zhejiang are all talented future pillars of Dawn City.
"Let's do it!"
"Having such formidable strength, I've long wanted a chance to test it out!"
"Finally, I'll have the chance to witness Brother Jie's abilities!"
Brother Jie always has a slight smile on his face, making it impossible for people to figure out his true thoughts.
"In that case, let's change into our gear and set off!"
......
I'm relaxed~ I'll just give a rough idea~
"You can't imitate such effortless movements!"
Fully armed, a group of twelve people stood about two hundred meters away from the drone.
Watching the level four flesh-type zombies, drawn away from the horde by the drone, break free of the large group of corpses.
"They're about to go!"
"Take down this level four zombie and let it serve as a testament to our growth!"
A team of six, consisting of three members of the meat-type system and three beast-types—a bear, a tiger, and a bull—walked ahead, carrying shields.
Behind them are Jie Ge (Poison type), Zhou Xindong (Beast type), two fire type, and two earth type.
When the zombie got within about fifty meters, it was attracted by the scent of living people.
Abandoning their pursuit of the drone playing music in the sky, they rushed towards Brother Jie and the others.
"Bang!"
Upon contact, the meat system member holding the titanium alloy shield as tall as a person was sent flying backward, shield and all.
A terrifying power!
After knocking the shield bearer aside, the level four zombie was exposed to Brother Jie and the others behind them.
The supernatural attack that had been accumulating in his hand was instantly released and attacked the level four zombie.
