Chapter 9: Recruitment of Soldiers Begins! Year One of Survival!The resources discovered this time were different from the previous ones, which were system rewards for achieving certain milestones. This time, the resources were already within his shelter.
Lin Feng speculated that everyone started in a room, but the resources within each room varied.
Gaining a metric ton of water in one go made Lin Feng very pleased.
Only then did he remember that he hadn’t yet checked the panel for his Level 2 Shelter.
Lin Feng said to the system in his mind, “Read the information panel for the Level 2 Shelter.”
【Level 2 Shelter established: Safe House】
【Reading Level 2 Shelter information……】
【Population: 2/20】
【Durability: 20 (Temporarily stable. Although your shelter is currently in a safe state, do not be complacent. A single fierce attack could break through your shelter.)】
【Current resources: Food 121 jin, Water 1045 liters, White Crystals: 66.】
【Summonable units: 5】

Now, his shelter could accommodate a population of 20.
The resources he currently possessed were substantial, many of which had been collected from within the house. It could be said that he now had more than the vast majority of people.
Lin Feng walked into the backyard. It was clearly the yard of a villa, situated in a high-end residential area, likely surrounded by other villas.
Lin Feng noticed that beyond the courtyard walls stood a dense crowd of zombies.
He approached the edge of the wall and saw some faint blue light at the boundary. Lin Feng didn’t know what these defense-shield-like lights were, but he understood that they were what kept the zombies from detecting his presence.
The zombies outside were covered in blood and flesh, craving more. They stood in the darkness, swaying with the waves, unable to move due to their sheer numbers.
Going out meant certain death.
Lin Feng asked the system in his mind, “What time is it now?”
He noticed that his watch was completely out of sync with the world’s time.
【11:40】
Lin Feng immediately returned to the villa and called Zhang Heng.
“Let’s eat something first, and then proceed with the next steps,” Lin Feng said. He then had Regular Army member Zhang Heng bring the previously found food. Each of them took a baguette-like bread and some perishable food, and they began to eat.
Both ate heartily. Lin Feng remembered that he had crossed over at night and hadn’t eaten for a long time.
At this moment, Lin Feng had the time to check the messages in the world channel.
“What the heck? Can any brother sponsor me an infection antidote? I got bitten by a zombie and I’m about to die.”
“Brother upstairs, since you’re not afraid of getting bitten again, I suggest you charge down and kill as many as you can, then exchange for the infection antidote.”
【Announcement! Survivor Zhang Xinxin has achieved a global milestone: Shelter Upgrade (second in the world to upgrade to Level 2 Shelter!) and received a resource reward of *300】
【Announcement! Survivor Liu Chuang has achieved a global milestone: Shelter Upgrade (third in the world to upgrade to Level 2 Shelter!) and received a resource reward of *200】
……
As Lin Feng and Zhang Heng began to eat, a large number of survivors suddenly appeared, establishing Level 2 Shelters and receiving achievement rewards.
However, for the survivors who were fourth to tenth, the resource reward was only 100. These resources were kept confidential, so others didn’t know what they had received.
“300 liters of water for 20 white crystals, free trade.” Water wasn’t worth many crystals, and with everyone’s discoveries, the value of crystals became evident. Thus, crystals were very precious in the market.
“One hundred loaves of bread…”
After these people received their resources, a large influx of resources entered the market, driving up the price of crystals once again.
Lin Feng used one crystal to browse the market and eventually managed to get two packs of cigarettes and eight bottles of beer from a seller.
Lin Feng handed a cigarette to Zhang Heng and also gave him a bottle of beer.
“In the apocalypse, let’s have a drink,” Lin Feng said to Zhang Heng.
At this moment, Zhang Heng’s eyes showed emotions that a summoned unit typically wouldn’t have. Throughout the process, Lin Feng hadn’t treated him as a mere weapon.
Lin Feng treated him as a person, and this caused a significant emotional shift within Zhang Heng.
However, Lin Feng didn’t have the time to ponder what was happening in Zhang Heng’s mind, as the system once again silenced all survivors.
All trades stopped instantly.
It was time to announce or declare some new rules!
【Attention all survivors, today marks the official start of your survival journey!】
【Year One of Survival, officially recorded.】
【The function to train and recruit units in your shelter is now open. Survivors can now train soldiers to arm their forces!】
Now, the recruitment of soldiers begins!
