Post-apocalyptic World: Stockpile Ten Billion Supplies at the Beginning

Chapter 102



Chapter 102

A recruitment notice at the entrance.

Chen Luo took out a pen and crossed out the occasional mention of meat in the employment benefits.

After Zhao Hai left, two more waves of people came searching for supplies nearby. If they saw the word meat, they might not be able to resist causing trouble. To prevent them from getting into trouble, Chen Luo crossed out these words.

Originally, second-level ability users could join, but now Chen Luo changed it to requiring three second-level crystals as proof. Now that the zombies had mostly evolved to the second level, the conditions for second-level ability users were no longer sufficient.

Initially, Chen Luo had thought of setting it as ten second-level crystals, but he realized it might be too harsh, especially without training and in solo situations. So, he simplified the conditions.

Chen Guang and the others were about to set out to kill zombies when a young man approached.

The young man was in his twenties, covered in dirt, with disheveled facial hair, lifeless eyes, a stark contrast to the base members.

As soon as the young man arrived, he knelt down on the ground and sobbed, Please, take me in. Im going insane.

Living like a dog every day, no, even worse than the dogs before the apocalypse. When night falls and theres no light, living in endless darkness is unbearable. Its truly torture.

My former companions, I discovered that some of them are constantly attacking others to get their crystals. I was terrified. I escaped on my own. I know youre recruiting, but Im too afraid to kill zombies.

But Ive realized that I cant survive on my own. Hiding in a room all day, living in constant fear, starving, with no one to talk to, Im going crazy. Im willing to kill zombies now. Id rather die at their hands, being eaten by them, than continue living like this.

Please, take me in, let me join you in killing zombies. Alone, I cant possibly stand against the zombies.

Assassination among survivors was all too common. If there were only two people, one of them might very well assassinate the other.

Is it easier to kill defenseless survivors or to go kill zombies?

If it becomes increasingly difficult to kill zombies, this situation will escalate further.

A base would never allow such infighting; there must be some basic standards.

In a world without electricity, modern people who cant live without their smartphones will go crazy if they are deprived of them for an extended period. Trust me on this.

In reality, the situation might force survivors who were initially too scared to fight against zombies to engage in combat.

However, the zombies are already formidable opponents. Without combat experience, is it too late for them to start killing zombies now?

Chen Luo didnt initially want to agree to the young mans request, but his words stirred memories from a past life. Living alone was too lonely, and it ultimately led to his own downfall.

Chen Luo said, Chen Guang, take him to try. If he performs decently, consider him a new member. If not, let him fend for himself.

The young man was overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed to Chen Luo.

Chen Guang smiled and said, The boss has spoken. Well give you a try, but youre quite lucky. We normally wouldnt accept someone like you.

However, when it came time for combat, the young man was shaky and even threw his ability at his teammates in front of him.

Chen Guang kicked him away, saying, Get the hell out of here, dont come and endanger our people.

He had been given a chance, and there wouldnt be a second one.

Chen Luo, who had learned of the incident, shook his head. In the early days of the apocalypse, survivors might still help each other, but as resources grew scarce and the environment became more dangerous, human nature would continue to reveal its dark side, which was far more terrifying than the zombies.

That night, there was some good news.

That good news was about the Thunderbolt King, who had advanced to the fourth level.

At the fourth level, the Thunderbolt Kings physique had grown a bit, with his body length increasing by approximately thirty centimeters, and his dog face had also become larger.

This was the first fourth-level individual in the base, apart from Chen Luo.

Even though others received the same treatment as the Thunderbolt King, they hadnt advanced to the fourth level as quickly.

The Thunderbolt King could absorb ten crystals at once, Mi Li could absorb nine, and Mi Ling could absorb eight.

Mi Ling had already been considered a top-tier powerhouse with eight crystals in her past life, while Mi Li had weaker combat abilities and less fame than Mi Ling, but he had greater natural talent.

However, the Thunderbolt King, with his ability to absorb ten crystals, seemed unmatched by anyone.

Chen Luo and the others were naturally captivated by the Thunderbolt King, and the Thunderbolt King held his head high with pride.

Mi Ling was puzzled. When she first met Chen Luo, he had said that she couldnt even beat his dog. At the time, she had been quite indignant. Now, it seemed he wasnt exaggerating.

Furthermore, this dog was highly intelligent. If they played dirty, her team with Mi Li and Su Dazhu might not be a match for the Thunderbolt King, especially considering the Thunderbolt King had now advanced to the fourth level.

Why was she not as good as a dog?

The more Mi Ling thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She felt that it would be difficult to catch up in a short amount of time, and even if she tried, it might still be challenging.

Rice acted as a translator.

The Thunderbolt King asked, For being the first to reach the fourth level, how many points do I get?

Chen Luo hadnt announced this yet because it was still early.

It was only now that Chen Luo realized why the Thunderbolt King had been so eager for points recently.

Chen Luo asked curiously, What do you need points for?

The Thunderbolt King proudly declared, I have a dream, to become the Elder Dog, and then eventually the Vice Leader. By then, everyone will call me the Dog Leader.

Chen Luo was initially stunned, but then his face turned dark as he lightly kicked the Thunderbolt King.

Dog Leader? I feel like youre mocking me, Chen Luo thought.

With the Thunderbolt King reaching the fourth level, the success rate of the Dog assassinations missions would greatly improve. However, Chen Luo was more eager for Rice to advance to the fourth level.

The next day at noon, Chen Luo didnt expect that Zhao Hai would actually come seeking help.

When Zhao Hai had mentioned needing assistance before, Chen Luo had just given a casual response. He didnt really expect Zhao Hai to come.

Now, he wanted to see what the matter was. If Zhao Hai could offer something that would entice Chen Luo, he wouldnt mind helping. Of course, if the situation was too dangerous, Chen Luo wouldnt act without payment.

Zhao Hai sent one of his core brothers, Song Ling, along with a dozen people, in three cars. Sending a single person alone would be risky, as they could encounter danger on the way.

Song Ling was in his thirties and had a neat crew cut, giving him a sharp appearance.

He approached with humility, fully aware that despite their larger numbers, their strength didnt compare to Chen Luos group.

Song Ling first handed over a box of cigarettes. He said, Brother Chen, Im sure you have no shortage of food here, and Brother Hai couldnt find anything delicious. Here are a hundred packs of cigarettes. Brother Hai went to great lengths to put this together as a gift for you. Whether you accept it or not, these cigarettes are for you.

Even male members of the base who didnt smoke before had picked up the habit to relieve stress and anxiety. Cigarettes were more valuable than food in this world.

Zhao Hai had spent quite a bit on this gesture.
