Zhang Chen stood still, staring blankly at the Base Commander’s back.

A smile gradually appeared on her dazed face, her lips curving wildly.

She felt that the Base Commander was showing concern for her.

Perhaps he was in love with her.

The thought filled her heart with warmth.

Zhang Chen jumped in place in a circle. Even though there were many crystal cores outside that could make her rich, she didn’t want to leave the safety base at all.

Since the Base Commander didn’t want her to leave, she decided not to.

Zhang Chen hummed softly, slowly heading towards her living quarters.

She wondered if she should prepare some gifts for the Base Commander; food, supplies, and drinks, all need to be arranged.

Zhang Chen did not know the turmoil the Base Commander was experiencing inside.

At the moment, inside the safety base, there were only two idle people: a Base Commander in intense pain and a joyful Zhang Chen.

The rest of the survivors were all engrossed in the joy of collecting crystal cores.

Everyone was in a state of excitement, wishing they had more hands to collect more crystal cores!

Superpower Users were better off; if they got tired and hungry, absorbing a few more crystal cores quickly revived them, and they could go days without eating.

Ordinary people also needed rest; the frantic state of collecting crystal cores couldn’t last long. Some were so exhausted they couldn’t open their eyes yet continued to collect crystal cores rapidly.

This was the easiest time for ordinary people to gain crystal cores, how could they give up?

Bags full of crystal cores were carried into the safety base, half of which were sent into the base building.

One day and night passed.

People in the safety base were still collecting crystal cores, but their numbers had dwindled significantly, with only a few stubborn individuals still combing through the ashes that had been turned over several times.

There were many zombie crystal cores, and there were many survivors in the safety base. Almost everyone collected crystal cores in bags, and after a day and night, they had nearly finished collecting.

After staying awake for a day and night, most people didn’t care about a few scattered crystal cores; they returned with their collected cores to rest.

Only those who had been thoroughly beaten by the apocalypse were particularly stubborn in finding crystal cores; they only wanted to live longer, more stably in the apocalypse.

This astonishing amount of crystal cores was enough to propel the safety base into a rapid development period.

The Superpower Users in the safety base also didn’t have to worry about needing crystal cores to enhance their superpowers.

Crystal cores wouldn’t devalue even if abundant because other survivors still found acquiring them difficult; trading them with survivors outside was entirely possible.

The three men of the Bai Family, after the excitement, were now sleeping soundly on the second-floor bed.

According to the distribution stipulated by Mrs. Bai, each received a considerable number of crystal cores as private stash, very satisfying.

They all slept with smiles on their faces.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai also went to collect crystal cores, but weren’t as frantic as Mr. Bai and the others, resting whenever needed.

At the moment, they were reclining on the sofa, Bai Xiqin leisurely reading an e-book, while Leng Yebai peeled fruit with a knife.

"Did they leave too many crystal cores behind?"

Liu Jing fiddled with the radio, which she hadn’t used for days, chatting with Wang Yiyun.

Wang Yiyun stipulated that they leave one percent of their private stash of crystal cores.

Even so, they still made a significant profit.

With so many crystal cores, casually picking up a few thousand was easy.

"Not too many, just take them shopping occasionally!" Wang Yiyun appeared calm.

She never deducted Mr. Bai’s private money, nor did she give him less pocket money; what was promised was delivered.

However, Wang Yiyun occasionally took Mr. Bai for high-consumption trips, making him pay.

Perfectly resolved the issue of Mr. Bai hoarding too much private money.

"Good idea!"

Liu Jing nodded, deciding to take Bai Zhengxuan for high spending when free.

"Zzzzzzz—"

Static noise intermittently sounded from the radio.

This was typical for the radio; every time the frequency was adjusted, such noise emerged.

"Hello, survivors, hello survivors, this is A City, this is A City..."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the bus quickly turned towards the radio, and Wang Yiyun increased its volume significantly.

A City, the Capital City, where everyone’s future was decided.

"Is it a rescue message?" Bai Xiqin’s eyes lit up.

She still had too few memories about zombies, like survivors just learning of the apocalypse, thinking rescue could arrive.

Human weapons weren’t just explosives; various nuclear fusions could produce massive energy.

If truly united, perhaps a chunk of territory could completely annihilate them.

This was only Bai Xiqin’s thoughts.

But zombies in the world weren’t just mindless wandering zombies; some looked just like humans, with intelligence matching theirs, able to act advantageously.

Resolving this situation through sheer brute force was nearly impossible.

"This is A City’s largest safety base, with absolutely reliable defense measures. Survivors nearby are welcome here, the address is..."

After promoting the safety base, a voice very familiar to the country’s citizens daily at seven thirty emerged on TV.

"Hello, everyone, I’m **. The world’s armed forces have been defeated. Every country is in chaos. To protect survivors better, resist zombies and mutant animals, we’ve established the Human Survivor Alliance."

"This alliance doesn’t only consist of our citizens; we’ve also reached out to Superpower Users in other countries."

"Comrade Zhang Gong traveled alone across various countries, found their most central Survivor Alliances, and reached consensus with each Superpower User leader."

"Now, we’ll abandon any grievances, work together against this global disaster. All nations united in the Survivor Alliance to combat this catastrophe together."

"Each safety base leader, compile your base’s Superpower User list, then contact..."

"The global Human Survivor Alliance’s Commander is our country’s leader Zhang Gong, with ten vice commanders. One is M Country’s Jennifer. Another is our Yunhua Safety Base’s leader, Leng Xiao. Another E Country’s Tu Ge..."

After broadcasting, static sounded for a few seconds before it started replaying.

Repeating the same content.

With the Global Human Survivor Alliance formed, regardless of skin color, so long as red blood flows, an ally it is.

"Zhang Gong must be remarkable."

Bai Xiqin, hearing the radio, seemed a bit dazed.

The Base Commander’s prowess required no doubt; Bai Yifan mentioned he could drain the Zombie King and casually destroy zombie hordes.

In zombie-active Shanghai, the Base Commander was basically the most powerful Superpower User here.

Even so, he was only vice commander.

How strong indeed must the Commander be!

"It mentioned he independently went to many countries. Now, going somewhere, requires great efforts. Not to mention cross-country and gaining recognition – his prowess must be indisputable."

Wang Yiyun remarked.
