Shane and everyone else on the continent received the same notification from the system.

"Regional Server Merge... Boss Raid..." Shane muttered as he continued examining the announcement.

[ ... In the Boss Raid Event, a formidable Zombie awaits your team. It requires your combined strength and strategy to overcome such a foe. Gear up, strategize, and stand ready to face this challenge. More details about this event will be announced at the date of its commencement.

Finally, be prepared for the third Zombie Wave.

Once the Boss Raid Event was concluded, the third Zombie Wave is set to surge in just 15 days. It will finally be a weaker Zombie Wave, and it aims to make everyone rich! However, they can still become dangerous if you're not careful. They can still overrun your defenses, so ensure you are fully prepared to repel this relentless onslaught.

Stay vigilant, fortify your positions, and work together to survive.

Remember, your survival depends on effective coordination, resource management, and courage in the face of danger.

Prepare wisely, bolster your defenses, and may fortune favor the brave as you confront these impending challenges. ]

Just like before, the announcement ended with some encouraging words as if they truly care about the Survivors who were risking their lives in the continent.

"This is a huge update..." Raze muttered.

"This Regional Server Merge will definitely change the current leaderboard ranking." Kael muttered.

"Oh... Now that you said it, does it mean that our Clan Leader, Shadow Strider, will no longer be on the top next time?" Tessa added with a teasing tone.

"Haha! There's no way someone will beat our boss. Our Clan will easily fall behind since there are too few of us. However, for the individual ranking, I think our Clan Leader will still be the best!" Lyra added.

Lyra then joined the conversation and opted for two Special Recruitment Stones. She was eager to enlist individuals of good talent, and she was hoping that they were warriors! As a Sharpshooter, she really needed someone who could stay beside her and fight for her in melee combat.

"Mhmm... I can probably buy this bright yellow stone..." Tessa added as her gaze remained on the Master Recruitment Stone...

"If the one I recruited isn't suited for what I plan them to do, can I just let them work here in the estate? I'm just concerned since they will be an additional mouth to feed." Tessa asked Shane.

"Of course, it's fine... You're part of the Clan. Please think of this place as our home. As long as the one you recruited would work here, food wouldn't be a problem." Shane replied.

Raze smiled at this and also shared her thoughts. "That's what I planned as well. Most of the people helping us here were summoned by Shane... It's also time to help him with our people."

Jaxon then mirrored Lyra's decision and chose to acquire two Special Recruitment Stones. He was envisioning to obtain a cadre of skilled allies who would stand by his side.

Lastly, Kael, with some unease and excitement, decided to invest in two Rare Recruitment Stones. He had a bit more Zombie Cores, and he was also drawn to the allure of individuals possessing rare and invaluable skills that could prove useful...

"This purchase may deplete my savings, but the potential gains far outweigh the cost..." he remarked with a wry smile. There was a sense of satisfaction evident in his eyes as he embraced the decision he made. There was no backing out.

As the group finalized their selections, they gathered the money or Zombie Cores they needed before giving it to Shane instead...

In the end, Shane received 2,820 Zombie Cores from the members of his Clan for the stones they bought...

Overall, the 30 Recruitment Stones were worth 7,820 Zombie Cores.

Perhaps, if not for the Zombie Wave, Shane wouldn't be able to purchase them. Enjoy stories on m_v lem|p-yr

Nonetheless, before paying the Zombie Cores to the old merchant, Shane curiously looked at Darwin and asked a crucial question.

"Sir Darwin... May I ask how are you protecting your wares? Are you not afraid of getting robbed?"
