In the shelter.

Everyone was very curious about how the sisters met.

Of course, except for Lin Yi.

He wasn't one to join an appearance club; he was just really hungry, eating in silence, shoveling down the food.

"Mary, she first hid in the kitchen, there was a lot of food there... Eventually, she became a cook in Blaise's fortress... I met her in the lab when she had an upset stomach. I was so happy!"

With Martha's story, everyone was stunned by Mary's magical journey.

The main thing is, this girl almost never lacks food, even from the apocalypse until now.

Even now, she is a cook in the community canteen of the shelter!

At this moment, Martha looked at Lin Yi with teary eyes.

"Boss, can we invite Mary to join us for meals these days?"

"Of course!"

Lin Yi nodded with a smile. Reuniting with family in a life-and-death apocalypse is quite something.

He watched Martha pull her sister over to sit down, and then he served a large rabbit leg to Mary.

"Eat! Feel free to eat here!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Mary laughed, showing her big teeth.

Lin Yi's smile instantly froze on his face...

The lunch continued.

Everyone began reporting the situation.

Solomon has been training soldiers, maintaining firearms, and handling many other maintenance tasks.

The girls solved many daily life and manufacturing-related issues.

Louis was pulled away to repair guns and ammunition looted from the military base.

There was also a big harvest that day!

The farmworkers harvested 80 tons of potatoes, 25 tons of vegetables, with 7 tons each of wheat and corn.

Their potato stockpile was nearly 300 tons, while the corn and wheat slightly less than 25 tons.

Vegetables were about 100 tons, and meat 25 tons.

Lin Yi nodded, pleased with the gradual development of the shelter.

He turned to Chen Youyou: "With the war these days and the alliance with the beastmen, are the residents panicking?"

"No, boss, on the contrary! Most people support your decision to ally against the zombies. Many civilians have high evaluations of our soldiers and the overall management of the shelter. Even more people have signed up, wanting to become soldiers. Solomon has already started expanding the area."

Chen Youyou rarely spoke so much at once, clearly very excited now.

"Expanding the training area?"

"Yes, boss, they have started dismantling cars to take out the tires, using them to set up obstacle courses. They are short on materials, but he said he can solve the problem himself."

"Got it!" Lin Yi nodded and looked at the lively Annie: "Are you okay?"

But at this moment, the girl was no longer lively; she looked pale and couldn't even eat.

Besides opening luck eggs, Annie was also responsible for animal husbandry.

She was thrilled when she heard that the boss would be breeding new species upon returning to the shelter and rushed over immediately.

Lin Yi set up two large enclosures and merged them together, then transferred fifty milk-producing insect cows inside.

The giant mutated maggots left a deep impression on Annie, and she fainted at the sight.

And it wasn't just her; the three girls tending the rabbits were all in shock, with two of them also fainting.

It's worth noting that there was also the issue of storing insect cow milk; the insects needed to be milked daily, or they would become irritable.

If no one milked them for a week, their milk would dry up. But the store didn't provide milk storage facilities...

Every time Annie thought about it, she was terrified.

After lunch.

Lin Yi carefully examined the Precise Shooting Skill Book obtained from the beastmen.

[Precise Shooting, Level 1]

This skill enables you to use any firearm, and your shooting accuracy and speed will improve.

He sincerely hoped that by reaching Level 2, he could enchant bullets like archers enchant arrows with magic.

He handed the "Mechanician" skill book and all the design blueprints to Louis.

Louis was as happy as a child who just got a brand-new PS5. He immediately ran back to his studio, eager to start researching.

Obviously, one of the abilities of this skill is to repair firearms, which reminded Lin Yi of Sylvie's "Weapon Smith" skill.

Perhaps by reaching Level 2, Louis would be able to manufacture guns! He was more imaginative than Sylvie, who once tried to make a long spear, only to end up gluing a knife to a stick...

Once everything was in place, Lin Yi decided to relax at home for a while but then remembered the vending machine.

He picked up his laptop and entered the trading section.

[Your Vending Machine]:

Vending Machine, No. 1.

Balance: 21,645 Coins.

"So much? Give me a detailed report."

Total sales quantity: 4,329 items

"Not bad! I've already made back half the coins I spent on this thing!"

Entrepreneur Lin Yi muttered to himself, beginning to conceive a grand plan to establish a business network...

Provan Town.

Lin Yi looked around. He stood in the center of a desolate small town, with no one around.

"Melanie, get the guys over here."

The defenses against the Zombie General were ready, so he decided to seize the opportunity to sell some food at another camp.

But he couldn't just ignore this empty city!

After discussing with Solomon, Lin Yi took twenty experienced soldiers and 300 civilian volunteers looking for a break from farming tasks.

Preparing to start scavenging the town.

They were divided into six teams, but were not allowed to stray too far from each other to prevent any mishaps.

Each team was equipped with a camera and a "cameraman."

Currently, including Melanie, the shelter had nine cameramen, so some teams were equipped with two cameras.

The first target was Leonbene Hospital. Although it was a town hospital, it was actually a large comprehensive building.

Everyone decided to proceed cautiously and use cameras to search the area first.

It turned out to be the right move. In one of the hospital's buildings, there were about 600 zombies locked inside.

This hospital was almost untouched; apart from those zombies, it was very clean and safe.

It's time for a traditional big scavenging!

The 323 people took whatever they could.

They removed televisions, unscrewed light fixtures, and even detached windows from the walls.

There was also the parking lot... hundreds of cars there, some even containing personal items and supplies.

Interestingly, no zombies were found in the cars, and nearly 10% of them were completely intact.

However, many medicines were either damaged or expired, but they found a large number of medical tools and equipment, which made Lin Yi overjoyed.

He ordered people to pack up hospital beds, medical and other books, and also the premium kitchenware from the big cafeteria.

The entire process took about an hour and a half.

The destruction caused by a swarm of locusts might not be as extensive as what Lin Yi had wrought. The term "locusts passing" might have become outdated.

Lin Yi, now intoxicated by the excitement of looting, led his people west and ransacked a few indeterminate-use buildings.

At this time, a scout came to report.

"Boss! There's a shooting range and an archery range here. Our training ground can be expanded!"

"Great! Let's get to it, everyone!"

Lin Yi cheerfully ordered his subordinates to plunder, reaping a bounty of targets, practice bows, and other equipment like shooting earmuffs and archery gloves.

Next to the hospital was a business and industrial park named ZA, along with a car and motorcycle repair shop.

They didn't find any motorcycles but discovered plenty of car parts and a lot of other loot.

After scavenging the park, they headed north.

Melanie found a motorcycle shop on the map, and the scavengers made their way there.

Passing through a small street flanked by houses, the team members discovered a few zombies inside some houses, the sacrifices for civilians becoming Professionals.

Twenty people were assigned to each house, and twenty minutes later, the entire street was thoroughly scavenged.

At the end of the street, Lin Yi finally found what he had been searching for: motorcycles!

The store had 24 motorcycles, parts, supplies, etc.

Everything was intact and brand new.

Ha ha!

He could now don those cool sunglasses and ride with the wind, speeding everywhere...!

Lin Yi suggested his team take a break, but these guys, with blood in their eyes, refused to stop—

They didn't want their families still sleeping on the cold ground!

Two hours later, the entire residential area, home to roughly 2000 people, was picked clean.

When everyone returned to the shelter and took stock, they found that about 300 families received brand new beds, personal hygiene products.

Of course, there were also clothes, cosmetics, and various things women need but that men completely don't understand.

These new acquisitions were so alluring to the civilians!

Soon, more people decided to join the scavenging teams led by Lin Yi...

Or rather, the volunteer militia organization.

The western front remained quiet, with no zombie activity, but everyone knew that war might be imminent.

So after dinner, Lin Yi and most of the soldiers went to sleep.

This would be a tough night...

Knock, knock, knock!

Lin Yi had just climbed into bed when he heard knocking at the door.

He opened the door.

Chen Youyou stood outside, wrapped in a bathrobe. Her hair was damp, her skin pink, clearly just having bathed. The young woman smiled shyly, one hand hidden behind her back.

"Come..."

Before Lin Yi could invite Chen Youyou in, she nimbly jumped over the threshold and closed the door.

The girl held a bag of clothes in one hand, carefully placing the bag on the ground.

Then she slowly took off her bathrobe, revealing her shoulders without using her hands, and then gave a gentle shrug, letting the robe slip to her elbows.

Next, she slowly opened the bathrobe completely, letting it fall to the floor...
