Apocalyptic Farmer

Second-floor guest room, evening.

After Liu Hao cleaned the seven lobsters, he placed them in a five-tiered steamer and steamed them.

In Liu Hao's words, "Steaming is the best way to cook it."

In reality, Liu Hao only knew how to steam the food, and since he had promised to make this dish, he could only fulfill his promise in the simplest way.

[Ding! Harvested 7 7-year-old lobsters, gained 70 farm experience points. Current farm experience: 900,382.]

Liu Hao looked at the harvest with dissatisfaction. Organic feed was really not as good as organic fertilizer. At least he could eat big and bouncy lobsters to satisfy his appetite. Otherwise... he would have lost a lot of money.

In a guest room on the second floor, Li Yanan was meditating.

The difference between SSS-level second-order perfection and A-level second-order perfection is enormous.

However, sometimes wisdom can bridge such differences.

For example, a fair competition where the goal is to see who can hunt down the most Tier 2 and Tier 1 zombies.

Li Yanan was very smart. She knew that Liu Hao held this competition because he might desperately need zombie crystals, and even the construction and development of the farm would require zombie crystals.

The possible way to transform them is by consuming crystal nuclei to convert them into alien energy, which can then be used to develop the farm.

For example, organic fertilizer looks very similar to zombie crystal cores.

In addition to his various strange abilities, Li Yanan believed that Liu Hao definitely had a different understanding of how to use crystal cores. If it was true that crystal cores could be transformed into organic fertilizer to accelerate the ripening of crops, then if such a discovery were given to the military, the military would definitely be able to lead the country out of the food shortage crisis.

If we consolidate our strength then, perhaps one day we can lead humanity to launch a full-scale counterattack against the zombies.

However, she doesn't yet have evidence to prove all of this, so she needs to continue lying low.

As a top soldier, she did not believe that a virtual contract could bind her or make her willingly depend on Liu Hao, even if Liu Hao was indeed a very good man. However, her country would always be her first priority.

"Hoo~" Li Yanan exhaled a deep breath. At this moment, she slowly turned her head to look at the sky outside the farm. The sky had already darkened. This time, she had been absorbing supernatural energy for ten hours.

Feeling the unusual energy and extraordinary physical power emanating from her body, she was fully confident about tomorrow's hunting competition.

Her "Fire Cloud" ability is now at the second-level perfection, and she is confident that she can instantly kill all the zombies within a certain range when a large number of zombies gather.

Her teammate is Su Yinyin, whose special ability is vines. All she needs to do is push the zombies together and control them for a few seconds, then hunting them down and getting points will be a natural thing.

This is what collaboration is all about!

Thinking about this, she began to look forward to Liu Hao's competition reward.

The upgrade of superpower level is such an incredible thing!

"We need to build up trust further and find an opportunity to have a private chat with Liu Hao to find out how he manages to mass-produce vegetables."

She then got up and went downstairs. By this time, Tian Tian and Su Miaomiao had already come down from the third floor to the living room on the first floor.

Except for Su Yu, who had not yet successfully awakened and was not in the living room, everyone else in the living room on the first floor had solemn expressions.

Li Yanan walked over to Su Yinyin and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Su Yinyin replied, "The zombie horde has crossed the river, and most of the zombies are now in Nanjiang South City."

Her words were heavy. Li Yanan knew that it wasn't that Liu Hao and the others were afraid of zombies, but rather their feelings for Nanjiang City. After all, of all the people here, she was the only one who wasn't from Nanjiang City.

Nanjiang City has been abandoned and is now overrun by zombies. Apart from the hilltop of this farm, the entire city of Nanjiang is filled with zombies.

Liu Hao rubbed his temples, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction with the zombies.

"The competition will still proceed tomorrow. The fact that the zombies have crossed the river will also benefit you, at least you won't have to travel far to hunt them."

"I always keep my word."

The women nodded, a hint of anticipation for revenge flashing in their eyes.

Although this was a competition organized by Liu Hao, it was also the first time the entire farm had officially confronted a zombie horde and taken the initiative to face a large number of zombies.

Just then, a beeping sound came from the kitchen. Liu Hao's eyes lit up. It was time!

Each of the seven lobsters was over twenty centimeters long, which was quite a project. To ensure everyone could enjoy their meal, Liu Hao steamed them, one lobster per person, thus eliminating any awkwardness about eating them.

Just as Liu Hao was about to get up, Lin Xier stopped him.

"Just stay here. You promised to cook lobster, but all you did was steam it." Lin Qi'er glared at Liu Hao slightly, as if indicating that she was very dissatisfied with this compensation. "I'll go get it."

At that moment, a figure slowly emerged from the staircase, and the air temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

Everyone turned to look, and were all amazed by Su Yu's temperament.

Su Yu, a sophisticated urban woman, was even more striking under the influence of the Frozen Heart, especially with the clattering sound of her high heels on the staircase floor, which made everyone think that the beautiful manager had come to inspect the area.

"Sister Su Yu, you've become even more beautiful," Tian Tian exclaimed in surprise.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Everyone looks great, Master. I just heard there's lobster to eat today?"

When Liu Hao saw Su Yu approaching, he finally pulled his hands away from his arms and looked at her.

"Hmm, has it reached the second stage of perfection? What changes have occurred?"

"Yes," Su Yu explained, "My ability can now instantly control a single target, with no delay. At level three, it takes 2 seconds, and at level two... a long time."

"Hiss~" Everyone gasped.

Such control over a single individual is terrifying.

It can be said to be invincible among its peers.

"Awesome," Liu Hao gave a thumbs up, then remembered that Li Yanan had also successfully advanced.

Originally, Liu Hao had planned to win over Li Yanan first, but unfortunately, Li Yanan was absorbing crystal cores, so today's preparations were not used on her. However, now that he thought about it, Li Yanan is a woman with extremely firm beliefs, and such a small trick today probably won't have much effect on her.

But that's fine, now only Li Yanan is left unconquered, so let's leave her out for now.

And now there's still the finishing touches on Lin Xier's work. By then, my Monday to Friday evenings will be fully booked, and I won't have much energy to deal with Li Yanan, who has an extremely difficult strategy.

As long as she's my employee, it doesn't matter whether she's capable or not.

"Instructor Li, how has your superpower changed?"

At this moment, Lin Qier brought out a five-tiered steamer from the kitchen and placed it steadily on the dining table in the living room. Hearing Liu Hao's question, she decided to listen to it first.

"My special ability is 'Fire Cloud,' an area-of-effect attack. After reaching the second stage of perfection, the damage is multiplied. I am confident that as long as a second-stage zombie is within my range, it won't take more than a few breaths for me to burn it alive."

At this point, Liu Hao no longer envied their superpowers. Before, Liu Hao was an E-level superpower user with only an earth spike, so he was envious of all superpowers.

However, he still possessed an S-rank mirror image ability, so he simply nodded.

"Hmm, they're all pretty good."

"Let's get started... Tonight... no need for anyone to come to the master bedroom, just relax in the guest room."

Besides the lobsters that Liu Hao raised today, there was also a series of delicious dishes cooked by Lin Qier on the dining table.

Liu Hao kept his word and made lobster to compensate Lin Qier. Everyone sat down and began to enjoy this hard-won delicacy. Su Yu and Li Yanan realized that Liu Hao had made steamed lobster, and then they understood why such delicious lobster could only be prepared in one way.

Li Yanan: What a waste of food!!

Before long, all the delicious food on the table was gone. The chores like washing dishes were taken turns, so Liu Hao didn't have to worry about that and enjoyed the fruit.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

Liu Hao also plans to rest early today. He stayed up all night yesterday harvesting vegetables and exchanging them for organic fertilizer. Since owning the farm, he has been living a life of revelry every night. Although his body has not protested, it is still quite tiring.

'Knock knock knock...'

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Liu Hao was taken aback. Didn't he say that no one needed to come to the master bedroom today?

Who went up to the third floor and knocked on my door?
