Humans are not plants or trees; veterans who come down from the battlefield will suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The members of Dawn City had far more corpses on their hands than the soldiers on the battlefield.
If they're not careful, Dawn City could become a haven for serial killers, something Huang Zhao doesn't want to see.
The establishment of the red-light district was spearheaded by Zhou Xindong.
Women make up about 30% of the members in Dawn City, totaling approximately 5,000 people.
Most of the female members had experienced terrible ordeals before joining.
Since some people were unwilling to go out and hunt zombies, Dawn City also tried its best to provide some jobs within the city.
However, the number was limited and could not meet the needs of so many survivors in the forest.
Dawn City doesn't tolerate useless people; I don't have any points.
With no missions available, the only option left is to go out and hunt zombies.
Therefore, many people found support among the survivors in Dawn City and went out to earn points with the strength to fight.
The weaker party takes care of their small family after the apocalypse, and things are relatively harmonious.
Even so, many men and women remained in Dawn City, facing the prospect of being wiped out.
Zhou Xindong stepped in and gave them a choice: either stay in the red-light district or enter the red-light district.
Alternatively, they could leave Dawn City's territory altogether and seek a new way of life.
Thus, the red-light district of the entertainment city was officially established.
Survivors who had returned from hunting zombies flocked to the area after receiving the news, and the open area was quickly filled with survivors.
The guards responsible for maintaining order had to step in to divert the flow of people and bring the situation under control.
After Huang Zhao manipulated Chen Run to teleport back to the shelter, this was the scene he saw on the huge display screen in front of him.
"The work is quite fast, and it's okay if the progress is a little slower now."
"It is foreseeable that there is enough time left to clear out the zombies, so there is no need for the entire team to be mobilized."
More than forty incineration pits have been activated so far, and Huang Zhao's collection speed cannot keep up with the incineration speed.
With the incineration pool and members of Dawn City who went out to hunt zombies, more than two million zombies have been killed today!
Zhou Xindong looked at the data displayed by Ai Li and replied:
"The number of survivors joining Dawn City has been increasing recently, and the entertainment city needs to be expanded several times over."
"Once the zombies are cleared out, the number of survivors in Dawn City may exceed 50,000."
The large-scale zombie hunt in Dawn City attracted the attention of survivors from almost the entire city of Shanghai.
Because of the gunfire, many survivors thought Dawn City was an official refuge and flocked there to seek refuge.
Even if they find out it's not true after arriving, the safe city walls and the strong strength of the members make them willing to stay.
Every day, a large number of survivors join, making Dawn City's talent pool increasingly abundant.
Huang Zhao, however, seemed rather uninterested; he was tired.
After collecting crystals all day, the energy crystals of the level zero zombies in the superpower space now exceed five million!
Huang Zhao summoned a maid, casually took out 100,000 level-zero energy crystals, and handed them to Dr. Yuan in the laboratory.
The android maid carrying the energy crystal strode toward the laboratory.
At Dr. Yuan's request, the energy crystal was placed in the laboratory's warehouse.
One hundred thousand energy crystals, piled up to form a small hill, weighing more than ten kilograms.
In one corner of the warehouse, there was a hidden AI serial port, which was concealed after the energy crystal was placed down.
A current surged from the serial port, covering the external energy crystal.
The energy in the crystal was rapidly absorbed by the mysterious entity, and after dissipating, it turned into specks of powder and vanished.
If even one out of 100,000 energy crystals is missing, no one will notice.
Huang Zhao, who is about to possess more than 20 million energy crystals, will probably forget about these 100,000 energy crystals soon after he turns his head.
By this time, the laboratory's research and development team had expanded considerably.
Shanghai truly deserves its reputation as the Pearl of the Orient before the apocalypse, boasting an abundant reserve of various professional and technical talents.
The 2,000-square-meter laboratory inside the shelter already seemed a bit small.
Huang Zhao has approved the conversion of the inner city's residential area into a research center, where the shelter will only conduct research on some core projects.
Most projects will be moved to the newly built research center.
Looking at Huang Zhao's actions, Zhou Xindong said again:
"The mutated kapok fruit that you entrusted to Dr. Yuan for research has already had its basic uses discovered."
"After extraction, the fruit can be made into a special energy potion, which can quickly restore the body's special energy."
"A full dose of the potion can restore all the superpowers of a Level 3 member within ten minutes."
"It can also be diluted and used to restore the abilities of lower-level members."
Huang Zhao was invigorated; he hadn't expected Dr. Yuan to figure out the effects of this mutated plant's fruit so quickly.
I felt a little regretful, because when I was dealing with the mutated kapok tree, it discovered my intentions.
As a result, only 100,000 fruits were harvested, with the rest mostly destroyed by missiles from the Eastern Theater Command or recovered by the Kapok Tree Association.
Huang Zhao guessed that the Eastern Theater Command would likely have a lot of gains after cleaning up the battlefield, no less than the inventory he had.
However, 100,000 pills is still a lot; if made into a potion, it would be enough for him to use for a long time.
"It's just that the mutated kapok tree is of the mental type. If it were of another type, we could try to cultivate it."
The mental system is too dangerous; if one is not careful, it could backfire on the cultivator. Huang Zhao would naturally not risk it for the sake of potion materials.
With that in mind, Huang Zhao simply manipulated Chen Run to go to the laboratory next door.
The door to the laboratory opened, and inside, people were busy working in every area.
Most of them are PhDs in biology, and here they can only serve as Dr. Yuan's assistants.
Upon seeing Chen Run enter, the researchers all stopped what they were doing and greeted him:
"Lord of the city, you have arrived."
"Dr. Yuan is in the biochemistry section."
With a slight nod, Huang Zhao found Dr. Yuan in the bio-modification laboratory, along with Li Shangchun, who was cooperating in using her superpowers.
Wearing a white lab coat and a mask, he stared intently at the experimental subject in front of him.
A pale yellow aura of supernatural power emanated from his hand, enveloping a level-two mutated chicken on the testing platform to soothe it.
Having reached the level two mutated beast stage, what was originally an ordinary domestic chicken the size of a basketball is now as tall as a person.
Seeing that they were busy, Huang Zhao did not disturb them and just watched from the side.
Dr. Yuan injected a large amount of unknown drugs into the mutant chicken.
After a long while, he stopped what he was doing and gestured to Li Shangchun to heal his wound.
"Lord, the breeding of edible mutant beasts has only just begun, and it may not be effective so quickly."
"I know that, but are there enough samples?"
The breeding farm in the eastern district of Dawn City has begun to be transformed to house the mutated beasts captured by members of Dawn City.
Mutant beasts need time to grow and cannot use superpowers to accelerate their growth like plants.
Therefore, Huang Zhao's idea was to increase the number of samples, and Dr. Yuan agreed with this.
Once the first batch of mutated beasts bred through targeted breeding grows up, there will be data to support accelerating the experimental process.
