Yun Xiaoxiao entrusted Nie Yizhou with the operation and management of all the shops.
Though he might seem unreliable at times, he was actually a proper student from a finance university, known for his smooth personality and social skills.
Yun Xiaoxiao believed he could manage these shops well.
As things progressed one by one, Yun Xiaoxiao began to have more hope for the future.
Of course, what made her most happy was... the base finally had water, electricity, and gas!
That evening, after a day of somewhat deliberate acting by Xiao Feng and Nie Yizhou, everyone in the base knew that water, electricity, and gas would be connected throughout the entire base tonight.
Everyone was full of anticipation.
Yun Xiaoxiao stood in her room, placing the last crystal core into the calculation box, and her points immediately became 10,000.
At that moment, the entire base lit up!
The streets, shops, residential areas, hospital, school, and everywhere else.
Every corner of the base was bathed in bright light.
"It's really bright!"
"Wow! It's so beautiful!"
Everyone burst into cheers.
This was the first time in several months that everyone had seen lights at night.
Light can dispel unease; light represents hope!
At this moment, everyone's hearts were ignited and warmed by these small points of light.
"There's water! There's really water!"
Liu Li turned on the faucet in the hospital cafeteria.
Clear water immediately gushed out.
Indeed, she had now started working in the hospital cafeteria, becoming Qin Zhi's companion.
Not just her, the hospital had added five more people.
These five people were all skilled cooks.
"We have gas too, cooking will be much more convenient now."
Everyone expressed their joy.
Especially when people returned home, turned on the lights, and took hot showers, many cried tears of happiness.
If someone were to enter the base now, they would surely be startled by these alternating sounds of crying and laughter.
They might think that the people in this base weren't quite right in the head.
That evening, when the night grew quiet.
A small figure slipped into the first street.
She moved between the shops, accompanied by two white figures.
"Big White, Second Bai, hurry up and move things!"
In the darkness, the voice was kept very low.
It had a somewhat... sneaky feeling...
When people woke up the next day, they discovered that the entire street had transformed!
Many stores were filled with goods of all kinds, a dazzling array.
"Heavens, have I time-traveled?"
"Bro, I feel the same way, I must not be fully awake!"
"Wow, so many fresh fruits, I want to eat them! Waaah, as a hardcore fruit lover, I haven't had any fruit for months, I'm so hungry for it. When I earn money, I'm definitely going to eat my fill!"
"Look, there are so many beautiful clothes over there! Wait for me, sister's coming to love you all!"
"......"
Everyone lingered in front of the various shops as if they had never seen such things before.
Although they couldn't bear to part with these items, everyone understood that only through work could they afford these things.
So everyone went to their assigned positions according to yesterday's groupings.
Some went to the ranch, helping Fat Uncle give vaccines to cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and other livestock, feeding them, shearing wool...
Some found Grandma Niu's flower field, helping to plant and tend to flowers...
Some went to the vegetable fields, beginning to plow, plant, fertilize, and water under Feng Jin's guidance...
Others found Liu Yi, Xue Huaixue, and Nie Yizhou, and began helping to build factories under their direction.
The factories were being built in the area where cars were previously parked.
When Yun Xiaoxiao and Ling Jing arrived at the edge of the square, Lu Chen and Xiao Feng had already been training with the guard team for a while.
Everyone was sweating profusely, exhausted.
"Those who can't hold on can take a break."
When Lu Chen said this, many people wanted to lower their hands.
But his next words made everyone snap to attention and quickly raise their hands again.
Those words were, "After the break, double training!"
It was absolutely ruthless!
Seeing everyone's miserable expressions, Yun Xiaoxiao felt sympathetic.
Keep going, she had been through this too...
After saying hello, Yun Xiaoxiao and Ling Jing drove out of the base.
They planned to check out the level four zombie that Ci Wan had mentioned.
Conveniently, there seemed to be a large lumber mill nearby, and if suitable, they would collect the wood there as well.
Wood could not only be used to build houses and make things like fences, tables, chairs, and benches.
Most importantly, it could be made into charcoal.
When the extreme cold weather comes, charcoal would play a crucial role.
Following Ci Wan's directions, they drove along the main road behind the base.
The place wasn't too far from their location.
They reached the town Ci Wan had mentioned in an hour and a half.
There weren't particularly many zombies in the town.
It was probably because Ci Wan and his group had cleared them out before.
Yun Xiaoxiao and Ling Jing, along with their pets and Big Beauty, killed zombies while keeping an eye on their surroundings.
But even after killing all the zombies in the entire town, they hadn't seen the legendary level four zombie.
There wasn't a single living person in the entire town.
While Ling Jing and the pets collected zombie crystal cores, Yun Xiaoxiao began a major scavenging operation.
She collected all the supplies from the town's shops and warehouses into her space.
By the time they finished, it was almost three in the afternoon.
"Let's go to the lumber mill."
Just as they were about to reach the lumber mill, a sudden scream rang out.
Although it was far away and very faint.
It was definitely a human scream.
The two frowned and continued driving forward.
As they drove, three cars suddenly rushed out from a bend in the road ahead.
Those three cars turned around and sped towards them.
Someone stuck their head out of the window and shouted at them.
"Turn back quickly! Don't go there! There's a terrifying zombie over there!"
"Quick, get out of here!"
The people there kept waving and shouting, signaling them to turn back and leave immediately.
Right after those people finished shouting, a zombie wearing a security guard uniform quickly rushed out from around the corner.
Its head turned 90 degrees to look in their direction.
Then it let out a frenzied roar and quickly gave chase.
This zombie was different from ordinary zombies; it actually had ten hands!
From a distance, it looked just like a Thousand-Armed Guanyin.
Its feet were also strange, actually two meters long!
When it ran, it felt as if the ground was trembling.
Yun Xiaoxiao's lips curved into a slight smile.
Finally found you!
Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao and her group not only didn't turn back but continued driving forward, the people in those three cars were almost frantic with worry.
"You need to leave quickly! That zombie is incredibly powerful, it just killed all the people in our team's other two cars!"
