"Ah, so hot!"
Someone couldn't help but let out a low growl. The ground was indeed too hot, hot enough to fry an egg!
But it was precisely because of his exclamation,
that it attracted the attention of the zombies undergoing evolution.
Roar, roar, roar~~~
The sounds of zombies suddenly erupted. Some trackers noticed the commotion and rushed over.
Chaos instantly broke out in the villa district!
"Make them stay put and don't move around randomly, or the ground temperature will get even higher!"
Wang Luo said to Zhao Qingxuan and the other.
As he himself, holding his Black Abyss, walked towards the direction where the zombies were attacking.
At this moment, if the crowd panicked and caused the underground fire to spread in the villa district, it would lead to unpredictable consequences.
Yang Shu and the other nodded, and immediately made arrangements.
Wang Luo weaved through the crowd, reaching the gap where the zombies were surging. The crowd here had already descended into chaos, with wisps of flame rising from the ground!
The surrounding people, fearing the flames would spread to them, immediately ran to other areas. This movement, without the suppression of life energy, caused the flames here to intensify!
Whoosh~
Wang Luo used the special ability "Lightning Flash" and instantly arrived at the fiery zone, his feet landing directly on the flames.
"Quick, get some awakened individuals to suppress this underground fire!"
Wang Luo shouted,
Awakened individuals had strong physical constitutions and wouldn't die so quickly. As long as they could suppress the underground fire again, there wouldn't be any major problems!
The awakened individuals nearby saw Wang Luo standing on the flames,
and immediately, some of them, like him, stood on it.
"Hiss! It's a bit hot, but still within the bearable range!"
Then, a few more people arrived. The burning underground fire was once again suppressed.
And the chaotic crowd also quieted down!
However,
the zombies had already rushed over.
"Gale Blade!"
Wang Luo stood in front, swinging his Black Abyss, unleashing over a dozen massive and ferocious wind blades that directly sliced through the charging zombies.
But the commotion here undeniably attracted the attention of many zombies,
and waves of zombies kept coming.
At this moment,
Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu also arrived, joining forces to fend off the zombies.
"We can't delay, or more zombies will appear!"
To be safe, Wang Luo directly unleashed a "Myriad Thunder" attack, clearing out a large area of zombies nearby.
Afterward, he began patrolling along the inside of the earthen wall, preventing the appearance of zombies!
The fierce flames burned for several hours,
rushing straight into the sky,
making the sky itself seem to be ablaze.
All the debris that had been blown away by the ground wind was now reduced to ashes by the scorching underground fire.
A rustling sound gradually arose,
and raindrops began to fall from the sky.
"It's time, the underground fire is about to pass!"
Wang Luo said calmly.
In the villa district,
almost everyone was sweating profusely. If it had burned for a while longer, some people would likely have been unable to stand their ground!
Of course, this was only here.
In other places, who knew how many people had perished in the underground fire!
Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu departed, heading to prepare for people to rebuild the earthen wall to block zombies.
In the sky, the rain grew heavier,
and the towering flames were gradually suppressed, eventually disappearing underground.
Accompanied by a rumbling sound,
thick earthen walls rose from the ground, once again encircling the villa district.
Roar~~~
Some vigilant zombies instantly noticed the area and began to roar, charging towards the earthen wall.
The intelligence of zombies was becoming increasingly higher now; even the slightest disturbance would attract their attention.
Therefore,
the first battle for defense after the underground fire had begun!
However, with Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu personally overseeing the situation, Wang Luo had nothing to do!
The zombies had evolved to Bronze rank,
and the pressure faced by all awakened individuals had greatly increased. But after hours of defense, all invading zombies were ultimately repelled.
After all, the awakened individuals' level was still one tier higher than the zombies!
On the ground,
ashes mixed with rainwater made the ground muddy.
Now, no trace of the garbage from the old era could be seen. Apart from scattered buildings, almost no remnants of the past were visible!
"It's become so clean!"
Yang Shu said, looking at the ground.
"It's like a change of eras, as if trying to bury the past!"
Wang Luo said calmly.
He became increasingly curious about the future. What lay beneath the miasma underground?
And what caused the emergence of ground winds and underground fires?
"Can we start planning the new district now?"
Zhao Qingxuan asked,
the villa district was too crowded now!
"Yes, we can start construction tomorrow!"
Wang Luo said.
After the underground fire, all the debris had been cleared. Now, even farming would be convenient. In fact, it could be said that the entire city was now land, and one could plant anywhere without anyone stopping them.
"How are you planning the new district?"
Wang Luo asked curiously.
"Considering that the current population is not yet very large, we are adopting a ring-within-ring design. The innermost circle is the villa district, the next circle is the farming area, and the outermost circle is the residential area!"
"If someday in the future we can completely eradicate the zombies here, we will then convert the farming area into a residential area and move the farming area to the suburbs!"
In the apocalypse, food was more important than human lives; this was not just a saying!
That's why the farming area was protected in the central location. Once it was destroyed by zombies, the loss would be immense!
"What about the breeding area?" Wang Luo asked.
"Those pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep need a place, right?"
Raising those animals in the villa district was too polluting to the environment, making the villa district smell foul. In the end, Wang Luo had no choice but to transfer a batch into the Eternal Space, planning to move them out when the space became large enough in the future.
"The breeding area will have to be set up separately!"
"However, it will be located adjacent to the residential area, and dedicated personnel will need to be stationed there!"
As Zhao Qingxuan spoke, she took out a blueprint, which depicted the plan for the entire new district.
"Holy crap, this area is huge! The defense line will probably be very long then!"
Wang Luo exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the blueprint.
And although it was centered around the villa district, the entire blueprint was planned to expand outwards in an octagonal shape.
"The outermost earthen wall can be expanded outwards based on the population!"
"As for the farming area, we will first plant mutated crops. As long as the food for the awakened individuals is secured, ordinary people will be fine."
Zhao Qingxuan explained.
Moreover, for ordinary people,
mutated crops were not entirely inedible. It was just that the energy contained within was too great, and ordinary people could only eat a small amount!
"Not bad, let's start building the new district from tomorrow!"
Wang Luo said with a smile.
So far, the progress had surpassed the previous life!
At this time in his previous life, he was still worried about the meager remaining food every day, and was thinking about how to snatch some supplies from other factions.
