"There's nothing we can do about that. In this apocalypse, if you want to survive, you either resist the zombies like we are now, hide underground and build underground cities, or head to the mountains where there are very few zombies!" Wang Luo said.
"Mountains? Right, there aren't as many zombies in the mountains. Why didn't I think of that before!"
"Wang Luo, why don't we just move our base to the mountains?" Zhao Qingxuan said with shining eyes. Staying here was not a viable solution. The buildings in Anluo City were already less than a tenth of their original number, and the entire villa area was like being built on a vast plain, easily attracting the zombies' attention. As for underground, that was not a long-term solution! They had already gathered tens of thousands of survivors here, and there might be more in the future. Building an underground city would be a massive undertaking. Moreover, as the zombies grew stronger in the future, if the ground wasn't thick enough, it could still be dangerous.
Wang Luo shook his head, "The mountains won't work. Although it seems safer there now, after the volcanic eruption in a few months, the mountains will become one of the main sources of zombies. It will be even more dangerous then!" The most terrifying thing was that there were several volcanoes near Anluo City. The power of a volcanic eruption should not be underestimated. During the volcanic eruption, awakeners would at most be Gold or Platinum level. Awakeners at this level were very strong, but they couldn't withstand the terrifying power of a volcanic eruption! In such a situation, if they were engulfed by the volcanic lava, the casualties would likely be immense!
"Is that so!" Zhao Qingxuan nodded, but she couldn't quite understand why there had never been any records of volcanoes near Anluo City, and yet there would be a volcanic eruption.
"Don't doubt it. Have there been any records of underground winds before?" "No, but isn't it happening now?" "In short, in this apocalypse, anything can happen!" Wang Luo said seriously.
"Indeed, after all, even the mythical Azure Dragon has appeared!" Zhao Qingxuan looked at Wang Luo with affectionate eyes.
"What, you're thinking about my Dragon Claw Hand again?" Zhao Qingxuan nodded.
"How about I turn into a dragon for you to try?" "No, if you turn into a dragon, you'll be bedridden for half a month again, and Shu Shu and I will have to endure for another half a month!" Zhao Qingxuan flatly refused.
"I just want to see your Dragon Claw Hand..." "Is it that simple?" "I also want to practice shooting..." "What else?" "Go to hell..."
Yang Shu also walked over and said leisurely, "Your water bill is due this month!"
"What water bill?" "What do you think? After all, this month's water was all for you!" Wang Luo suddenly realized.
"Then let's pay it together tonight!" "You wish!" The two said in unison.
"Right, quickly arrange for people to collect their supplies. If you're late, they might fall into others' hands!" Wang Luo reminded them.
"I've already sent Qi Sheng with over a hundred awakened individuals. They should be back soon!" Zhao Qingxuan said calmly. As the leader, he naturally wouldn't let go of these spoils of war!
In the cafeteria, Dian Meng had a large iron basin in front of him, filled with white rice. In front of him were several stir-fried dishes, chili paste, and a large bowl of soup. Then, he transformed into a dedicated eater, silently devouring the food alone.
"Holy crap, that's amazing!" Everyone around widened their eyes. Although they also ate a lot, they used ordinary large bowls because rice was absolutely filling here. The difference was in the quantity and variety of dishes.
"The chef is bullying him by giving him such a large basin. Is that an insult?" Some people were indignant. They had seen Dian Meng's ferocity before; it was a reckless fighting style! And judging by the amount and variety of his food, people deduced that he was an S-class awakened individual. However, was it appropriate to give an S-class big shot a basin?
"The chefs didn't find the basin for him; he found it himself!" "He must have been starving for too long and couldn't resist the sight of white rice. And eating from a small bowl would require constant refilling, which is too troublesome!" "It's good that our two leaders are far-sighted and collected so many supplies by helicopter in advance, otherwise we would be like him now!" Not to mention anything else, just in terms of food, they were confident that no other base could provide better than this place.
"By the way, in addition to the energy source crystals I need to hand in today, I also got more than a dozen crystals. Combined with the energy source crystals I saved before, I can exchange them for a few pounds of apples!"
"I've saved a lot too. I plan to exchange them for a few bottles of beer. I haven't had beer since the apocalypse began!"
"Tsk, why exchange for beer? Isn't it more satisfying to exchange for a few packs of cigarettes?"
"Why don't we pool our resources, each exchange for something, and then have a gathering?"
"That's a great idea. Then we'll have fruit, beer, and cigarettes..." Many awakened individuals discussed this while eating. And beside some awakened individuals, their families sat quietly, enjoying a relaxed mealtime.
"I can't take it anymore. I must find a boyfriend who is an awakened individual!" Some women, chewing on white steamed buns with chili paste, said enviously. They, ordinary people, could only fill their stomachs, but they also envied the awakened individuals who had delicacies. But for ordinary people to live such a life, besides joining, the only other option was to learn a trade. However, learning a trade took too much time, so joining was the fastest way. This was also the thought in the minds of many ordinary people. Even the lowest-level F-class awakened individuals had much better treatment than them.
On the other side, Wang Luo and the others looked curiously at the faintly glowing food on the table.
"Is this mutated bok choy?" Zhao Qingxuan curiously picked up a piece of bok choy and put it in her mouth.
"How does it taste?" Yang Qianzhou asked. It was his first time cooking this kind of dish. The mutated bok choy seemed to be more resistant to stir-frying than ordinary bok choy! Originally, the bok choy was not fully mature, but Wang Luo and the others couldn't resist trying the taste, so they pulled out a few.
"Mmm! Delicious, even tastier than ordinary bok choy, and after eating it, a powerful energy melts in your body!" "It feels like the energy contained in a little bit of mutated bok choy is equivalent to several bowls of white rice!" Wang Luo also picked up a piece of bok choy and ate it. Indeed, as Zhao Qingxuan said, the mutated bok choy contained a powerful energy! This feeling was like eating several bowls of rice in an instant.
"Forget about the energy, even the taste is much better than ordinary bok choy!" In his previous life, he had never eaten such a thing, because by the time people realized it, it was too late!
