Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Anomaly ( 1 )

After the battle, she realized that she needed to level up faster or she would not be able to catch up with the pace of the zombies evolving. The only way to solidify her foundation and break through was to drain her energy and refill it again and again.

With this thought, she continued filling up the water tank. When her energy was drained, she would sit on the ground and absorb the crystal cores to recover her energy before she continued.

While she was busy training and earning points, the members of the Phantom Team woke up one after another. Today, the Captain would split the points they received from completing two A-rank missions and also divide the supplies they had collected.

Since the meeting would be held after lunch, some of them decided to stay in their apartments and rest, while the rest went out to visit the market or help repair the fourth wall.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan, Qin Luzi, Wen Kai, Wen Mo, and Zhou Huajian were on their way to the base’s fourth wall.

Driving the car, Zhang Yuan glanced at his friend and asked, “Old Qin, how are your father’s injuries?”

Hearing this, Qin Luzi replied, “After being treated by Sister Jiang, my father has already recovered.”

“That is good to hear. Has Xun Che prepared a job for him?” Zhang Yuan asked again.

Before Qin Luzi could reply, Zhou Huajian said, “I heard that Uncle Qin has been invited to teach as a teacher in the school recently built by the base.”

“Well, Uncle Qin is a university professor. With him teaching the children, it is actually using a hammer to crack a peanut,” Wen Kai added with a chuckle.

“That is why Xun Che paid him fifty points every day,” Wen Mo said.

Qin Luzi smiled and replied, “My father actually does not mind the salary. As long as he has something to do, that is enough. He has been working for his entire life. Asking him to stay at home and do nothing, he would not be able to endure it.”

Nodding at his words, Zhang Yuan said, “I heard that Xiao Qi’s aunt has awakened her ability. Do any of you know about her condition?”

“When I visited her with Xiao Qi yesterday, she was still in a coma. But according to Sister Jiang, she should awaken today,” Zhou Huajian replied.

Zhang Yuan nodded and changed the topic to their plans for the week. As they chatted, they reached the fourth wall. After parking their SUV at the entrance, the members got out and looked around.

Compared to yesterday, today’s situation was much more orderly. With the guards and ability-users cleaning up the zombies’ corpses, the ordinary people were able to clean up the rotten flesh and black blood on the ground.

Since water was limited, they could only dig up the soil stained with the blood and rotten flesh. While half of the survivors were digging, the rest went to collect sand and dry soil.

After they dug out all the rotten flesh and black blood, they would transport them to the open area not far from the base, and the fire-type ability-users would burn them. Meanwhile, the survivors would fill the holes with the sand and soil they fetched from other areas.

With this coordination, they managed to save water while cleaning up the wall area.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan said, “Alright, since we came to help, let us get to work. We still have to go back before lunch.”

Hearing this, the members nodded and replied in unison, “Understood.”

Not long after, a large group of ability-users and commoners arrived at the fourth wall, led by Wang He. They walked to the area where the wall was damaged.

Standing under the wall, Wang He said, “Everyone, as you all can see, our fourth wall was damaged after the zombie attack. Today, our task is to repair the wall and clean it up.”

“The base will provide everyone with lunch and water during the working hours. After the working hours, you will receive twenty points as your daily wage. Those who do well will receive additional wages depending on your work.”

After a moment of pause, he added, “I hope everyone can work together to build our home.”

When everyone heard this, they nodded and replied in unison, “We will work hard.”

While the ordinary people were full of spirit and started working, the ability-users still stood there. Seeing this, Wang He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why are none of you starting to work?”

“Sergeant Wang, it is not that we do not want to work. But you see, we are ability-users. Are you expecting us to agree to being paid the same as those ordinary people?” one of the ability-users asked.

From his tone, it was clear that he would not work unless he was paid more. Hearing this, Wang He glanced at the rest of the ability-users and asked, “Does everyone think the same as him?”

While no one said a word, from how they exchanged glances with each other, Wang He already knew their thoughts. He let out a sigh and thought that it was indeed as the Vice Commander had said. Due to the awakening of various abilities, a social caste had formed.

During the meeting this morning, the Vice Commander had already reminded them that the ability-users might refuse to cooperate if they learned that they would receive equal wages to the commoners.

So, after he heard those words, Wang He nodded and said, “I understand your point, but as I said, you will receive additional wages depending on your contribution.”

“What if we work harder but do not get any additional pay?” another ability-user asked.

“Comrade, you do not have to worry about this matter. The guards will take note of your work progress,” Wang He replied with a smile.

Before another ability-user could add more words, he cut him off, “Alright, it is not early anymore. Everyone, let us get to work.”

Following his order, the ability-users finally walked to the wall and started working.
