The zombies evolved once at mid-year, reaching Silver level!
Wang Luo also successfully advanced to Platinum level after absorbing 3650 Silver level energy source crystals.
As for those wind-elemental supernatural abilities, with the experience from his previous life, comprehending them in this life was much simpler, many things came naturally.
However, by now, all the supernatural abilities he had comprehended in his previous life were under his control.
If he wanted to obtain new supernatural abilities now, he would either have to comprehend them himself or acquire them from the system.
"It seems you've comprehended another powerful supernatural ability!"
Yang Shu said enviously, carrying the food.
It took them a long time to comprehend supernatural abilities, yet Wang Luo's seemed to be endless!
"Indeed, I've comprehended an SS-class supernatural ability. Its power is quite decent!"
Wang Luo took the food and began to eat.
However, in terms of sheer power, the wind element was indeed inferior to the gold element in terms of lethality!
"Eh? Are we eating mutated rice already?"
Wang Luo looked at the rice in his bowl, emitting a faint glow, with surprise.
"Yes, the first batch of rice has matured and been harvested. Qingxuan and I discussed it and decided to give some to everyone to try first, to let everyone know that our base can now cultivate crops and strengthen the sense of belonging to the base!"
"And the mutated vegetables are also mature, and we've started letting people taste them one after another!"
Wang Luo nodded.
Despite many people eating heartily every day, they were also afraid of exhausting their stored supplies. The higher-ups had repeatedly and voluntarily requested to lower the food standards!
But this was the apocalypse; without enough food, how could they have the strength to kill zombies?
Even now, many awakened individuals would leave Anluo City to go to other cities to hunt zombies. These people might be gone for days, and they needed to apply for some supplies to carry with them.
As for whether anyone would run off with the supplies?
Yang Shu and the others had absolutely no worries about this. As long as they weren't foolish, no one would want to leave this place.
"By the way, a child awakened their abilities yesterday!"
Yang Shu suddenly said.
"Oh? Was it a 12-year-old?"
"Yes, they awakened an A-class ice-elemental ability!"
"It seems the energy source crystals we collected can finally be put to use!"
"I'll go take a look later!"
After eating,
Wang Luo went to see the child who had just awakened their abilities. He was a cool boy. His father was an awakened individual who had joined the base with Zhou Yiming and others!
"An A-class ability is quite good!"
Wang Luo nodded.
"Is awakening hereditary?" Yang Shu asked curiously.
"No, awakening is purely a matter of luck and has nothing to do with parents. Therefore, descendants of ordinary people might also become awakened individuals, and descendants of awakened individuals might be ordinary people!"
"So, don't look down on any ordinary person, as their descendants might produce a powerful awakened individual of S-class or higher!"
Afterward,
Wang Luo also took a look around the residential area.
Indeed, a small-scale trading area had already emerged, trading daily necessities, mutated fruits found in the wild mountains, and even extraordinary materials!
At this stage,
people had explored a vast area, covering various aspects.
Many ancient trades had begun to revive, such as blacksmithing, which was a very profitable profession. Extraordinary materials needed to be added to various weapons to be used!
The catering industry had also begun to gradually recover.
Initially, with fewer people, a large communal cafeteria model could be used. But now, there were too many people, and the base had moved towards a regular operation. While the communal cafeteria had not been abolished, it couldn't continue indefinitely.
Therefore, cafeterias and restaurants had emerged.
The supplies were naturally provided by Yang Shu and the others, but the income also needed to be divided. As for the currency of exchange, it was naturally energy source crystals!
Ordinary people now also had things to do. Yang Shu and the others had distributed the planting and breeding areas. Although ordinary people did not have the ability to directly obtain energy source crystals, they could exchange them through crops and livestock. The entire base had initially returned to a normal state.
As for those who couldn't farm, they would have to learn slowly. They couldn't just live off the land forever!
The only drawback was that the residential area had not yet been electrified.
This was unavoidable.
Wang Luo had collected quite a few generators, but they were not enough to power so many people. Therefore, for the time being, it had to remain in darkness!
When the world finally calmed down, he would gradually deal with such matters.
Afterward, Wang Luo went to the planting and breeding areas to have a look. Everything was normal.
Furthermore, thanks to Yang Shu's purification,
several acres of land near the breeding area had regained their normal soil color, and various vegetables were now planted there.
These ordinary soils could also grow mutated crops, but they matured more slowly than black soil and seemed to contain less nutrients.
After a stroll, Wang Luo returned to the villa.
"I must say, in the apocalypse, if you don't kill zombies, you really feel like you have nothing to do!"
Wang Luo felt a bit bored.
He finally started researching supernatural abilities!
His lightning and wood elemental supernatural abilities were very few, leaving a lot of room for development.
Time passed slowly, and it was already the end of the year.
All the awakened individuals who had gone out to hunt zombies had gathered back at the base.
"That's strange, the world feels exceptionally cold this year!"
Someone said strangely.
"Haven't you heard the leader and the higher-ups? This winter will first see earthquakes, followed by tsunamis, and then volcanic eruptions!"
"Tsunamis? Will that affect us here?"
"The tsunamis won't reach us, but the cold temperatures they bring will affect us!"
"The tsunamis haven't occurred yet, but the temperature has already started to drop! To be safe, we should prepare more firewood!"
Several days later,
a faint tremor was felt. Wang Luo opened his eyes. "It has begun!"
The world's disasters had not changed at all due to his rebirth, nor had the so-called butterfly effect occurred. All the disasters arrived as scheduled!
The source of this earthquake was deep in the ocean, but everyone in Anluo City, far from the coast, felt a strong tremor that lasted for quite some time. Although it wasn't enough to collapse buildings, everyone felt it clearly.
"My goodness, what a massive earthquake this must be!"
Everyone found it incredible.
How far was this place from the coastal areas? It was at least half of China away, yet the tremors could be felt so clearly. If it were in the coastal areas, how bad would it be!
The tremors lasted for nearly half an hour before gradually subsiding!
But just as people breathed a sigh of relief,
everyone seemed to hear the deafening roar of a tsunami!
"Oh my god, are we going to be completely submerged by a monstrous wave that will drown Anluo City?"
People inexplicably recalled a movie from the past.
The scene of towering waves submerging Mount Everest!
Everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble!
