    She decided to keep these for now.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

    Otherwise, the sudden avability of utilities throughout the entire base would inevitably raise suspicions.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    In high spirits, she took out her tablet and stand, and started watching a movie.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    While watching, she continued processing crystal cores into evolution fluid.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As the number of zombies she killed increased, the time she could spend in her space grew longer.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Now, for every hour that passed outside, she could spend about twenty-four hours in her space.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    When dawn broke, Yun Xiaoxiao opened her door, feeling energetic and refreshed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Downstairs, everyone was absent except for Ling Jing.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Aren''t they up yet?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao asked while drinking milk, walking to the perg outside.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Ling Jing opened his half-closed eyes and gave her a nd nce.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "They went to exercise."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao chuckled secretly, thinking how with Lu Chen supervising, nobody could sleep in anymore.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    With a quick nce, she noticed something off about Ling Jing.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "What''s wrong with your eyes? They''re bloodshot."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Ling Jing tried to appear casual, "It''s nothing, just didn''t sleep well."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He closed his eyes again, but his heart sank a little.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Ever since being infected with the zombie virus, he had been needing less and less sleep.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Recently, it had be particrly noticeable.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao paused mid-sip of her milk.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Reduced need for sleep?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Could this be a side effect of the zombie virus?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She stared at Ling Jing''s back, her brows slightly furrowed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Just then, a wailing sound came from the mountain path.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Oh my god, I''m exhausted! Water, I need water!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

    Without bothering to greet Yun Xiaoxiao and the others, he rushed inside and gulped water frantically from a bottle.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Xiao Feng followed closely behind, drinkingrge amounts of water, soaking his clothes.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Mu Yang''s forehead and neck were covered in sweat, his face flushed red, and his breathing unsteady.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Only Lu Chen appeared normal; though sweating, his face wasn''t red, his heart rate steady, and his breathing normal, as if he had just taken a casual stroll.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Indeed, the gap between people...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao brought out a luxurious breakfast, filling the entire table.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As Nie Yizhou reached for the food, Lu Chen gave him a cool nce, "You can''t eat immediately after exercise, do your stretches first."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Nie Yizhou: ......<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Watching Yun Xiaoxiao eat heartily with great enjoyment, his eyes filled with envy.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He wanted to eat so badly...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    While everyone was present, Yun Xiaoxiao exined her n.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

    Nie Yizhou patted his chest.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He was no longer surprised by Yun Xiaoxiao''s ability to produce impossible items out of nowhere.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Even if she suddenly produced a tank, he could maintain a straight face and simply say, "Hmm, not bad."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    After everyone finished breakfast, they drove together to the za.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Many people were already at the za, everyone being quite punctual.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Once everyone had arrived, Yun Xiaoxiao began speaking.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "There are several matters I need to discuss with everyone today.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    First, regarding the points cards.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Shortly, Brother Xiao Feng will take you to the office building to collect your individual points cards.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The points cards are used for purchasing supplies, meals, and amodation in the base, functioning simrly to bank cards.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Each month, your wages will be automatically converted to points and deposited into your cards.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    If you''re willing to go out to kill zombies and search for supplies,<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    You can exchange any crystal cores and supplies you find for corresponding points.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    All procedures can bepleted independently at the machine in the office building where you''ll receive your points cards.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Second, our base doesn''t support idle people.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    So everyone needs to get moving and help build our base together.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    In other words, you need to contributebor to continue living in the base and earn your living supplies.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Later, we''ll be adding various factories to the base.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    You can choose to work in the factories or engage in farming.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    I have a list of specific job types here, with their corresponding wages, or points, listed next to them.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    It will be posted on the wall over there shortly."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao pointed at the city gate behind her.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She hadn''t been clear about what positions each factory had or how many people they needed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She had only just learned this after asking Liu Cheng and others earlier.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    However, some factories definitely couldn''t be used initially.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    So, she had made appropriate adjustments.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Some temporarily unusable options had been removed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "You can look at what suits you, and once you''ve decided, go sign up with Brother Mu Yang.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Third, the base ns to form a city guard.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    It''s fine if you don''t know martial arts or don''t have supernatural abilities.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As long as you''re under forty, physically fit, and willing, you can sign up.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Later, Brother Lu Chen will serve as the guard captain and create training ns for everyone.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Of course, this will be very challenging and somewhat dangerous.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Therefore, anyone selected will receive triple the points of other jobs monthly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Superhumans will receive evolution fluid as rewards, and those without supernatural abilities will receive other special bonuses.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Now everyone can think it over, and you can sign up immediately once you''ve decided."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As the number one ranked assassin, if Lu Chen could train even a novice like her, training others would be no problem.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Even without supernatural abilities, having good physical skillsbined with firearms would make for a formidable force.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    In her previous life, many people without supernatural abilities had still carved out their own territories in the apocalypse through solid personal capabilities.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    For a base to develop and grow strong, guards were absolutely essential.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0Aliali: 6748b5e0c4f3f33ac47cfe9d


    They were like the foundation of a house - their reliability directly determined the base''s strength.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Moreover, with more people in the base, conflicts were inevitable.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    They would need people to maintain order then.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The few of them couldn''t manage everything by themselves.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao finished speaking, people below began discussing in hushed tones.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    During these discussions, someone raised their hand.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Excuse me, can women join the city guard?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The question came from Tao Mi''er.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao''s eyes brightened, "Of course."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Women weren''t inferior to men, so why couldn''t they join?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
