After clearing away the accumulated debris, Huang Zhao condensed a mental shield to protect himself and teleported into the incineration pool.
The ground still retained the heat from burning the zombies, but Huang Zhao didn't feel much discomfort.
With a wave of his hand, the supernatural space opened, and Huang Zhao released a large amount of fuel from within it.
Soon after, a layer of fuel oil was laid in the incineration pit, and then Huang Zhao teleported away.
The reconnaissance team inside the sealed building didn't come to their senses until their terminals started vibrating, notifying them to continue attracting zombies.
"I really want to know how big the city lord's special ability space is?!"
"Everything within a hundred-meter radius was taken away with a wave of the hand, that's incredible!"
"And didn't you guys notice that the zombies can't get close to the city lord at all? They've all been blown to the head."
"The more powerful the city lord, the safer we are. Let's stop thinking about all that nonsense!"
"Get up and get to work! Keep attracting zombies to jump into the pit, earn more points, and live a peaceful life in Dawn City!"
"Hopefully we'll attract a fire-type zombie, so we won't have to go down and light a fire."
“...”
Huang Zhao's powerful image was once again reinforced among the survivors of Dawn City, making them even more in awe of him.
This information will only circulate within Dawn City. All information about Huang Zhao is under the supervision of the AI and cannot be disclosed to the outside world.
Based solely on their accounts, it would be difficult for other survivors to believe that such powerful individuals could exist.
......
Huang Zhao, who was on his way to the second incineration pit, was thinking about how to reduce the consumption of materials collected from the incineration pit.
Based on his current ability output, he can only collect energy crystals from three or four incineration pools at most.
Then you need to rest and absorb energy crystals to restore your body's special abilities.
Considering Chen Run's current status as a level four spatial ability user and Huang Zhao's current status as a level five mental ability user, this is a significant amount of energy expenditure.
It takes about half a day for the body to fully recover its supernatural abilities naturally.
Absorbing the energy crystal at full capacity is very energy-consuming and takes at least half an hour.
"The main problem is that there are still some zombies that are not completely dead that are hindering the collection."
"Furthermore, once the spatial ability extends more than 100 meters in one direction, the energy consumed actually increases exponentially."
With no better solution in sight, Huang Zhao could only order the incineration pits to stop attracting zombies once they were saturated with burning zombies.
At the same time, prevent other zombies that come after hearing the noise from entering, and wait until the zombies have finished burning before collecting the contents.
Although the efficiency is reduced slightly, it is still much faster than hacking and slashing zombies one by one.
After the message was sent out, Huang Zhao manipulated Chen Run to go to the second incineration pool to continue collecting.
......
Outside the city, many survivors watched the smoke rising from within.
Some were surprised by what had happened in the city, but no one intended to return.
Inside a large shelter west of Dawn City, Zhang Yu was organizing a meeting.
The Shanghai Self-Help Committee was officially established, composed of representatives from former government agencies, the military, and the public.
Their primary crisis right now is that they have a large number of survivors, but almost all of them are being consumed without producing anything.
Today, Sun Jianjun came from the camp to the shelter for a meeting, where he serves as the vice president.
"Our first priority is to solve the food problem! Relying solely on soldiers searching for food in cities near Shanghai is no longer sufficient to meet our needs."
“There is already a solution to this problem. There is a grain warehouse 20 kilometers away from here. We are in dire need of help, so we can go there and take the grain.”
If we're talking about someone who knows the distribution of resources inside and outside Shanghai best, it would naturally be Mayor Zhang, who held a high position before the apocalypse.
He knew the location of all official shelters, both the overt and covert granaries.
They also have the authority to open it, essentially acting as someone holding the key.
Sun Jianjun, within his authority, knew the locations of all garrisons and many military ammunition depots.
With nearly five hundred soldiers under his command, he was the person who controlled the largest force within the committee.
After the meeting agenda began, Sun Jianjun remained silent.
He never liked participating in these meetings, instead having his adjutant take notes and then relay the key points back to him.
After Zhang Yu finished his long speech, he turned to Sun Jianjun and said:
"The granary is located near the outskirts of Shanghai, so we'll need Brigade Commander Sun to be responsible for protecting our troops."
"Of course, we can send someone there in a little while."
"There are many large trucks in the camp. Mayor Zhang, please arrange for some survivors to go and help with the unloading."
Sun Jianjun answered, clearly aware of the current situation at the shelter.
After the conversation ended, Zhang Yu casually asked:
"By the way, what about the gunshots that Brigade Commander Sun's soldiers reported hearing in the city yesterday?"
"And the smoke signals that have been gradually increasing since yesterday, could it be that someone in the city is setting fires wantonly?"
Sun Jianjun recalled his conversation with Huang Zhao yesterday, knowing that they were killing a large number of zombies in the city at that time.
He did not hide anything from this and told them what he knew:
"There are survivors killing a large number of zombies in the city. They are quite far away, so we used a special frequency to decipher their communication methods to make contact."
"They have a lot of guns, and they seem to have a large number of people."
Zhang Yu said in a solemn tone:
“I’ve also heard about this from some survivors who escaped from the city. They said there seems to be a survivor gathering place in Shanghai called Dawn City.”
"They have abundant resources and have recruited many survivors. The city lord is a very powerful superhuman."
