Melodious music, tinged with a hint of melancholy, filled the air as the delicate girl in the corner of the café quietly strummed her guitar, reminiscent of a babbling brook, making people forget their fatigue.
Inside the café, a dozen patrons sat silently savoring their coffee while staring at their laptops.
Some were chatting with friends, venting their frustrations and enjoying desserts, revealing faint smiles.
Everything felt so beautiful. Zheng Yifan sat across from the singing girl, half-closing his eyes to appreciate the music while relishing this rare moment of leisure.
Observing the people in the café, he felt utterly out of place, as if he belonged to another world entirely.
After these days of change, he was no longer so lazy, nor did he resemble the otaku he once was.
He no longer kept his head down, buried in job markets.
Now, his words could determine the fate of thousands; the weight of those lives pressed heavily on his shoulders, leaving no room for him to be as carefree as before.
Gently massaging his temples, he reflected on whether there were any flaws in the arrangements made over the past few days.
The entire Gathering Place had abandoned radical plans, and logistical resources had been transported by Zheng Yifan.
With nearly a thousand people involved, every meal could push a mountain; however, with modern logistics as a base, just one order from a trading company could resolve many issues.
In recent days, the supplies he acquired along with deposits amounted to millions. The assets brought by the God Index were gradually beginning to show signs of fatigue.
This was due to his weak foundation and the terrifying consumption during the apocalypse.
He desperately needed to expand financial income and enhance his ability to withstand risks. If the God Index failed to generate income for even a week, starvation would likely claim lives in this harsh world.
Currently, everything in Gathering Place focused on development as a primary premise. They aimed to expand Trench construction and gradually clear out Resort while relying on Ruiguan for support.
From Guo Yi, Old Hou had extracted over forty seeds of man-eating flowers. These flowers could not be planted at Cat Ear Cliff since it absorbed too few zombies; planting too many would disperse nutrients.
He intended to first hasten the growth of five surviving man-eating plants from this battle that were nearly mature. Then he would select one for his trusted subordinates and initially release Essence to evolve them into Superpowered Individuals.
The remaining forty-plus Man-Eating Flower Seeds would be planted at the forefront of zombie-clearing operations to attract zombies and then collectively eradicate them.
Regarding blood procurement, Zheng Yifan had already placed orders with trading companies for large quantities of livestock blood. This would serve to attract zombies during the apocalypse.
In the days to come, there would likely be a long period dedicated to clearing out the Zombies. Only after eliminating all the Zombies within Ruiguan could they develop in peace.
The next step was to take control of the Jiang Grand Bridge. Two checkpoints would be established at both ends of the bridge, creating heavy barriers to completely block the Zombies on the opposite side of the river.
A complete Zombie-Free Zone would be established south of the Jiang Grand Bridge within Ruiguan, allowing for maximum development potential and gradual expansion outward.
Zheng Yifan was fully responsible for food supplies, but it was not free. Zheng Yifan would provide food, and all Survivors, except for members of the Firestorm Team, would have to work in exchange for rations.
For every trench dug or wall and fortress built, laborers would receive five pounds of Ration Tickets.
Those who attracted and captured Zombies would earn one pound of food for each Zombie caught, along with additional rewards for successful captures.
The most sought-after individuals were those with skills from the Post-Apocalypse era. A special area had been designated within the Gathering Place to establish the Hope Laboratory.
Inside, people were encouraged to share their knowledge and leave behind valuable resources for future generations.
Of course, this was merely a facade; in reality, it served as a talent reserve for Zheng Yifan's future development plans in the real world. They would have access to abundant experimental equipment to support Zheng Yifan's research and development efforts.
Now everyone was gathering their thoughts, categorizing and summarizing past knowledge. When Zheng Yifan needed it, specific topics would be isolated for focused research, providing substantial assistance to Zheng Yifan's endeavors in the real world.
Exploration and pacification of the Resort had also been put on the agenda and would commence soon.
The Firestorm Team had officially become part of the Gathering Place, rebranded as the Flame Legion. Although it currently consisted of only 80 members with an additional 10 positions pending expansion, preparations for growth had already begun. The military structure was temporarily limited to the Flame Legion. The second legion was named Bloodbath Legion and would be led by Pu Qiang as a temporary pioneer, tasked with recruiting members with a tentative target number of 100.
Other legions had yet to be established due to the overwhelming need for manpower within the Gathering Place.
Within the Gathering Place, an explorer system was implemented, establishing professional exploration teams. Each team could not exceed a certain number of members and could organize independently. Once successfully formed, they simply needed to report to the designated Explorer Alliance.
This way, others within the Explorer Alliance could post tasks with reward prices. As long as explorers completed these tasks, they could claim additional rewards.
Just as Zheng Yifan received approval from the Explorer Alliance, he issued three missions.
The first mission: seek out technological talents. Each talent would be classified into ten reward tiers based on their abilities, with even the lowest tier offering ten pounds of food. The highest tier, classified as National Treasure-level talents, was valued at tons of rice.
As soon as this reward was announced, it sent everyone into a frenzy. Every person in the Gathering Place was questioned by explorers until all household registration policies were fully implemented. Only then did they turn their attention outward, like Wolves stalking every living person.
The second item: Searching for Supercomputer, the corporate-level server will be exchanged for two tons of food, while the National-Level Supercomputer has a direct price of 100 tons of food set by Zheng Yifan, available for exchange at any time.
Although this reward seems far out of reach, it is important to note that across from the Jiang Grand Bridge lies Hansui City, home to countless High-Tech Companies, not to mention the headquarters of several State-Owned Enterprises located there.
The most attractive and widely accessible third item is the direct transfer of previous jewelry and other exchange businesses to the Explorer Alliance, with publicly listed prices and marked baseline values.
Exchanges can be made at any time, establishing prices for the chaotic market.
This prevents hoarding and ensures that no one stirs up trouble.
The Administrator is also in the process of recruitment, with the Gathering Place mobilizing efforts intensively. The only person seemingly free is Zheng Yifan, the leader of this Gathering Place.
His only current concern is naming the Gathering Place.
However, when he saw the girl Child across from him, the name came to him effortlessly.
It would be called "Hope."
In a world of despair, it symbolizes humanity's hope for survival.
