Apocalyptic Farmer

Risk and reward go hand in hand.

She took the first-tier crystal core from Liu Hao, looked down at the densely packed zombies below, and hesitated for a moment.

Liu Hao and his two companions absorbed the energy without any difficulty. Advanced absorption differs from awakening absorption; there is no risk involved. A surge of heat flowed into their bodies, instantly replenishing their previously depleted supernatural energy and increasing their maximum supernatural energy level by a full 20%. If they were previously Tier 1 supernatural beings, absorbing a single crystal core elevates them to Tier 1, Level 1. The number of times they can use their supernatural abilities increases from 5 to 6, and the damage and speed of their abilities also increase by a full 20%.

Especially their physical attributes, which have increased by 20% from the original level, make a Tier 1 Level 1 ability user absolutely capable of killing a Tier 1 zombie in close combat. This can be described as a transformation that comes from years of accumulated experience.

After absorbing one crystal core, Tian Tian did not stop and continued to absorb a second crystal core, unsurprisingly reaching the second level of the first tier of ability user. If she were to fight a first-tier zombie cat now, her ability would not be depleted again. After her body underwent a second transformation, her speed was even close to that of the zombie cat from before.

"Master! Sister Su! I can use my ability eight times! And the speed and power are much, much stronger than before." Tian Tian excitedly shared her joy with Su Yu and Liu Hao.

Su Yinyin was thinking a lot at this moment. She was also a strong-willed girl, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get into Nanjiang University. All along the way, she had been protected by Liu Hao, her sister Su, and Tian Tian. If she didn't become stronger, her and her sister's status would plummet. Although Liu Hao said he was 100% confident in absorbing energy in the farm, she would only become a burden in this Nanjiang instance.

With this thought in mind, she took a deep breath and swallowed the white first-tier crystal core in one gulp.

Suddenly, a thick, hot current surged from her mouth into her abdomen, her body began to feel hot, and her fair skin quickly became flushed.

Seeing this, Liu Hao smiled. As expected of his woman, she was brave and decisive. He needed more than just farm employees to warm his bed; he needed strong individuals who could help him build his empire, and Su Yinyin already possessed that potential.

[Ding, employee Su Yinyin is detected absorbing a first-order crystal core. The system is automatically assessing the success rate for the host and reducing employee risk. Success rate 100%.]

In fact, Liu Hao had a premonition that this farm owner system seemed to want him to earn farm points like crazy, and then set up some kind of temptation to make him have the illusion of spending farm points like crazy. Otherwise, why would it pop up to check Su Yinyin at this time?

If Su Yinyin's awakening fails, will the system then start a farm points-based loan sharking scheme?

"Master, what do we do now?" Su Yu interrupted Liu Hao's thoughts. She looked down at the thousands of zombies wandering around. If Liu Hao hadn't filled the only way up with earth spikes, the Foreign Languages ​​Institute building would probably have been breached.

Liu Hao snapped out of his daze and walked to the edge of the rooftop. He saw zombies surging downstairs like a tide. From their clothes, he could tell that they were all young university students. With the apocalypse coming, perhaps only Yin Yin and Miao Miao would remain at Nanjiang University.

This scene left Liu Hao in a daze for a moment, then he smiled and calmly said to Su Yu and Tian Tian, ​​"You only see a place of despair, with thousands upon thousands of zombies, but I see this as the best and most invincible shooting range."

Liu Hao pointed downstairs, "Look at them, they're like moving targets. All we need to do is stand on the rooftop, each with a gun, and go on a killing spree. Even the level one zombies will be forced to take the hits."

Su Yu and Tian Tian looked down and their eyes lit up.

That's right. The stairs are blocked by the master's superpower, cutting off the only way up. So, they can slowly clear out the zombies on the rooftop, killing them one shot at a time. Even a level one zombie can't do anything to them. Moreover, the master's superpower can connect to the underground warehouse, which means they essentially have unlimited firepower.

Moreover, the underground warehouse contains tens of thousands of bullets, not to mention Desert Eagles, which were transferred from the Armed Police base alone.

"Master, I truly admire your composure in the face of danger!" Tian Tian exclaimed, expressing her heartfelt sentiments—not flattery, but a genuine sentiment from the bottom of her heart.

"Come on, let's start the war!" After saying that, Liu Hao casually took out ten boxes of rifle bullets (1 rounds), three boxes of Desert Eagle bullets (3000 rounds), and three Type 95 rifles from the underground warehouse.

"Remember, continuous firing will wear down the gun. Once you've emptied a magazine, switch to another gun. Also, don't fire randomly. Although we have plenty of bullets, we can't waste them."

With that, Liu Hao, along with the two women, protected the awakening Su Yinyin and began clearing out the zombie horde of Nanjiang University from the rooftop of the School of Foreign Languages.

Thanks to Liu Hao's system, they were able to connect to the warehouse and fight a battle that was impossible to replicate.

Tap tap tap bang bang bang...

Just as gunfire erupted at Nanjiang University like firecrackers, a plan to restore signal coverage in Nanjiang City quietly began.

The Armed Police Base and the Happiness Base are jointly attacking a communications site that has been taken over by zombies.

The sixth day of the apocalypse.

A fully armed force of over 600 people, including 40 first-level ability users from the armed police and 30 ability users from the happiness base, is sweeping through the Nanjiang 5G Center.

For the first time since the apocalypse, the entire nation of China, and indeed the world, united to launch the first battle to restore communications. After 12 hours of fierce fighting, despite the loss of 30 survivors, 5G signal was successfully restored in Nanjiang City.

Moreover, after 118 hours of fighting against the zombies, at the cost of 76% of the military personnel, the military successfully cleared the zombies from the military region, consolidated the battle lines, and officially established the South China and North China Apocalypse Survivor Bases, one base per province. At the same time, it issued the authority to lift restrictions on thermal weapons to all provinces and regions in China and airdropped weapons to various places, including weapons, ammunition, maps and other supplies.

Along with the airdrop, announcements were also distributed along the way.

[Huaxia Military Headquarters]

Fellow Chinese compatriots, all survivors:

The apocalypse has arrived, and the land has been destroyed. Zombies roam freely, forcing us to witness firsthand the fall of our homes and struggle for survival in endless darkness and despair, barely able to move an inch.

Supplies and weapons have been fully deployed to ensure the survival of all survivors;

Also note: Tier 1 zombies will produce crystal cores, which can grant superpowers upon use, but the risk is very high and it is not recommended to use them.

Armed forces in all provinces will tighten their lines of operations, focusing on establishing survivor bases centered around provincial capitals. Survivors from all regions are urged to assemble in the provincial capitals.

From then on, the entire Chinese nation became soldiers;

The setting sun does not fall on the bones of China; reborn from blood, the land is restored!

Written by the Chinese military headquarters.

When this announcement appeared on the streets, in the mountains, and along the riverbanks across the country, it first made one point clear: the military could not take care of the entire country, and apart from the provincial capitals, it would be inevitable that other cities would fight their own battles.

But this also gives all the survivors a unique sense of belonging, a direction to live on: the provincial capitals.

However, the evolution of zombies in the apocalypse is so rapid that there are no second-tier ability users in the world yet there are already countless second-tier zombies. In fact, in some unknown corners, there are even more terrifying creatures.

As the sun set, Liu Hao looked up.

Several large military transport planes painted in matte camouflage flew at low altitude. Every so often, they dropped a drop box, and the tail section of each plane continuously released neatly printed paper notices, like a blizzard, relentlessly scattering into hell, fluttering down to the earth, landing on streets teeming with zombies, in buildings overrun with zombies, in parks overrun with zombies...

One of the printed sheets ended up in Liu Hao's hands.
