Huang Zhao had the idea as early as when he found the drone in the logistics park.
The drones were handed over to the AI for control and dispersed to search for survivors and mutants.
Final testing confirmed that this plan was not feasible.
The AI was unable to accurately distinguish between survivors and zombies, as well as mutants among the zombies, and ultimately had to give up.
The AI can only assist in the search and rescue process; a dedicated team is still needed to handle these two tasks.
At this point, after nearly an hour of fishing by drones, the entire horde of zombies entered Dawn City through the gate of the south city wall.
Everything was under the control of the AI. After entering Dawn City, there was no longer a need for drones to lead the way; the broadcasts along the way guided the horde of zombies forward.
The zombie waved its hands and rushed into the South District warehouse, which had been doused with diesel fuel by Chen Run.
Including the nearly 1,000 zombie corpses that have been collected and piled up over the past two days and are already lying on the ground, there are now more than 10,000 zombies in the warehouse!
More than 10,000 zombies, some of which have already broken through to level one.
'We're going to have a huge harvest of crystals again, but it'll be a bit expensive on diesel!'
The supplies in the special ability space have been almost completely used up.
Diesel fuel is a strictly controlled commodity, and Chen Run's ability to stockpile 200,000 liters is the limit he can reach in a short period of time.
Looks like I'll have to go to a few gas stations tomorrow and stock up on diesel and gasoline.
'Also, we need to build an area outside the city for burning zombies; we can't just keep stuffing them into the city's warehouses.'
In the post-apocalyptic world, it plays a vital role as the lifeblood of cars, a high-quality fuel, and a last resort for clearing out hordes of zombies.
Besides food, it is the most prioritized resource for survivors to store.
In less than six months, most of the gas stations in the city will have their inventory emptied.
In addition, the gasoline and diesel stored at gas stations have expiration dates, and in today's world where industrial systems have been lost, every bit used is a finite amount.
The survivors simply stored enough for their own use; they didn't have the time or energy to worry about anything else.
However, given the storage capacity of gas stations in China, even a large Class A gas station only has a storage capacity of a little over 100 cubic meters.
If you want to collect enough fuel at once, you still have to go to the fuel depot.
With collecting fuel on his to-do list, Huang Zhao turned his attention to the swarms of zombies densely packed like sardines inside the South District warehouse.
His mind shifted to Chen Run, who was hiding behind the door to the basement of the warehouse, and he stepped forward and knocked on the door leading to the first floor.
Suddenly, several zombies from the horde squeezed to the front of the door, glaring fiercely at Huang Zhao behind it, and slammed their bodies against the door.
These are all zombies that have broken through to level one and awakened their flesh system.
The door was opened just wide enough for one zombie to pass through at a time, and three zombies immediately squeezed through the door and rushed towards Huang Zhao, who was retreating.
"Ellie! Close the door!"
With his agile body, Chen Run dodged the zombie's attack. Given his current level three ability user physique, he had no need to worry about being caught by a mere level one zombie.
Even though this zombie is a flesh-type, the level difference is still too great.
With a thought, Huang Zhao produced two high-voltage electric batons in his hands and lashed them at the head of a nearby zombie.
A crackling sound of electricity rang out, and the zombie that was struck convulsed and collapsed to the ground.
Use the same method to take down the other two level-one zombies.
Standing aside, I watched as the first zombie that had been electrocuted was almost fully recovered.
'It seems that the stun gun is not as effective against level one zombies as we thought.'
However, playing support is still possible.
He conjured a spatial blade in his hand, walked to the zombies, and sliced off the three legs of the three male zombies at the root!
The "Golden Fertilizer Cultivation Program" can now begin.
They ignored the zombies crawling on the ground with their hands, seemingly unfazed by the pain.
Huang Zhao walked to the diesel fuel that was spreading down from the first floor and gently flicked the already lit lighter in his hand.
'Get out of here!'
The flames had barely touched the fuel on the ground when they quickly spread to the ground floor warehouse.
The fire raged, and nearly ten thousand zombies were burned in the flames, their roars sounding like wails of agony.
Huang Zhao's mood had calmed down considerably. Rather than living like zombies without any consciousness, it was better to give them a quick death!
Turning away, ignoring the dense explosions behind him, Huang Zhao instructed the AI:
"The three zombies in the warehouse basement were transported by the male servant android to the safe room in the laboratory on the fourth basement level, where they were kept separately."
'It wouldn't be good if the maid android got caught and damaged.'
It's estimated that the male servant androids won't have much of a chance to be used, so it's kind of like making use of waste.
"Okay, you're a pervert."
"......."
'Should I consider giving the AI a different personality?'
According to research by scientists in the post-apocalyptic settlement, if zombies are to quickly advance through levels...
In addition to accumulating the energy needed for a breakthrough, it also requires consuming large amounts of flesh and blood. Flesh and blood are far more effective for zombies than directly absorbing the energy from crystals.
Furthermore, the more energy contained in the flesh and blood, the faster the zombie's level will break through.
Unfortunately, by the time the scientists in the settlement began researching the non-natural breakthroughs of zombies, there were no low-level zombies left to study.
Therefore, Huang Zhao could not find the exact amount of energy and flesh required for a level three zombie to break through to level four in Chen Run's memory.
However, since zombies and humans naturally progress through levels at the same speed, the energy they need shouldn't be that different.
Knowing this information, Huang Zhao could roughly estimate the energy required for a zombie's initial breakthrough.
As for meat and blood? Would a hundred tons of beef be enough? If not, bring a hundred times more!
Eat up! You son of a bitch!
'I just don't know how long it will take to feed the zombies and break through to level four.'
Can they break through to level four before Chen Run and Qin Yi reach level three energy accumulation?
He also felt that this was unlikely, after all, Chen Run and Qin Yi had always been absorbing energy crystals beyond their level, so their advancement speed was not slow to begin with.
The safest way is to find and kill the level 4 mutant to obtain the crystal.
The zombie cultivation program still needs further research.
He manipulated Chen Run to leave a ton of raw beef in three safe houses in the laboratory.
Then, about 300 level-zero energy crystals were mixed in, so that the imprisoned zombies could consume and evolve.
He then gave Chen Run the order to return to the rest room and wait, and his spirit returned to his original body, which was still on the roof of the shelter.
Huang Zhao opened the safety door on the roof, which was similar in configuration to the door on the first floor of the shelter, and walked out of the room.
It was around 10 p.m., with a waning moon hanging high in the sky and a gentle breeze blowing across the 600-square-meter rooftop outdoor swimming pool.
Huang Zhao lay comfortably on a beach chair by the pool, enjoying the cool breeze.
After a busy day, Huang Zhao just wanted to rest...
