Superpowered Individual, a name that ignites passion within people. Ever since they learned of this name, everyone has aspired to become a Superpowered Individual.
The people at the Hope Gathering Place gazed at the figure standing on the Training Ground at the Command Platform, positioned between the Flame Legion and the Bloodbath Legion.
In front of the Command Platform, nearly all the warriors from the Flame Legion and the Bloodbath Legion had gathered. Those who were absent were either fallen in battle or injured in recent days.
Light Fist had vanished without a trace; no one knew what had happened to him, and everyone instinctively chose to ignore his absence.
Perhaps in another life, he would find himself in a peaceful era?
The living still had to struggle fiercely, while those who had died might have found a form of happiness.
"The reason I called everyone here today is to discuss the distribution of Essence!” Zheng Yifan shouted loudly.
Everyone's spirits were taut; after all, this was Essence. Although it was of the lowest grade, it could still activate Superpower, transforming individuals into Superpowered Individuals.
They were unaware of the failure rate associated with it, as that information had not yet been disclosed. However, this was no longer important to Zheng Yifan, for he already had better methods in mind.
"What you see here is a bottle of high-grade Essence Liquid, distinct from ordinary Essence."
He then proceeded to explain the grading of Essence and its success rates for usage, taking a full half hour for everyone to digest this crucial information.
He made every effort to ensure they understood.
Meanwhile, the Explorer Guild also announced the rules for exchanging Essence.
One A-Level Essence equaled ten bottles of B-Rank Essence, which equaled one hundred bottles of Essence Liquid, which equaled one thousand bottles of dEssence Liquid, which equaled ten thousand E-Level Essence Fruits.
Everyone who discovered Essence could apply for exchanges at the Adventurer's Guild, with none other than Zheng Yifan handling the exchanges.
To be honest, he really didn't want to reveal the opportunity to obtain high-quality Essence Liquid, but in order to gather more Essence and potentially attract others from different Gathering Places to come to Hope Gathering Place for exchanges, he had no choice but to expose it.
This way, other people's resources would flow into Hope Gathering Place, creating more Superpowered Individuals.
It was a golden opportunity to collect Essence. However, it also required military strength.
Now, he needed to accelerate the consolidation within Ruiguan, turning it into a fortress and gradually absorbing those Survivors who had wandered out during their escape from Hansui City.
"Every bottle of high-quality Essence Liquid represents the blood and sweat of our warriors, obtained from high-level Mutated Plants. The difficulty is immense, and the losses are severe. I hope everyone can cherish the benefits provided by the Gathering Place."
After briefly announcing the situation regarding Essence, Zheng Yifan began to cast a sharp gaze at the Bloodbath Legion and Flame Legion before him.
"Today! This batch of Essence in my hand is reserved for the bravest warriors. From now on, the internal competition between Bloodbath Legion and Flame Legion has begun. Your objective is to clear the road between Gathering Place and Resort, wipe out all threats at Resort, and work with ordinary citizens to construct an initial simple wall."
"Each legion will appoint a referee to tally the number of Zombies. One first-stage Zombie will count as one point; each second-stage Zombie will equal ten first-stage Zombies. Provocation by Third-Stage Zombies is strictly prohibited; if discovered, notify me for extermination!"
"Is that clear?" Zheng Yifan shouted loudly.
"Understood!" came the unified roar from below.
They had already heard the news: Essence was not allowed for use by Legion Commanders but would be used by the individual who kills the most enemies in the victorious legion.
This was a genuine opportunity for advancement; Hope Gathering Place only had its leader, Zheng Yifan, as a Superpowered Individual, while everyone else was an ordinary person with significantly lower combat capabilities.
"I hereby announce that the competition for high-quality Essence Liquid begins now. The Legion Commanders will arrange the extermination plans," Zheng Yifan declared again, taking a step back as the next tasks fell to the two Legion Commanders.
The two of them stared hungrily at the Essence in Zheng Yifan's hand, their eyes filled with desire, yet they still suppressed their impulses.
They knew that Zheng Yifan had prepared a better plan for them.
In the morning, Zheng Yifan called the two of them for a meeting, primarily to discuss the allocation of Essence.
It was allowed to accumulate Military Merit in exchange for Essence, but now they didn't even have enough Military Merit to exchange for the lowest level E-Rank Essence, let alone the higher-grade A-Level Essence.
This was why they organized such a competition. The first goal was to complete the extermination mission, allowing the people from the Gathering Place to move to the resort as soon as possible. This would save space and improve living conditions. They were currently living in ancient architecture, which was very inconvenient, and those who had recently built housing were not capable of constructing anything too good.
Some people were still living in tents, and once winter arrived, it would definitely lead to major problems.
The high-rise buildings in the Resort could all be used as residences, offering many scenic views and numerous high-end apartments for those explorers who had become wealthy first.
Moreover, Luxury Apartments could be sold at a low price to soldiers with Military Merit. These houses represented real wealth and contained some crucial items.
That included an entire set of Supercomputers. That was a valuable asset; Zheng Yifan had always wanted to transport one to the real world to earn a vast amount of money.
The enticing conditions attracted Zheng Yifan; he had to go to the Resort.
Ruiguan was a checkpoint where war could break out at any moment, making it easy for those living there to be caught in the crossfire.
The Left Guard and Pu Qiang had already received Zheng Yifan's promise. In the future, when more advanced Essence became available, they would be allowed to use it; they couldn't give up on the potential of Superpower just because of some early gains.
They had to be the strongest in the future legion. Otherwise, how could they suppress those with High-Level Superpowers?
With Zheng Yifan's promise, they immediately got to work. Once all matters were introduced and other minor tasks were arranged, the Bloodbath Legion and Flame Legion quickly set off for the Resort to exterminate Zombies.
They also brought along the remaining Man-Eating Flower Seeds. They would set up a designated area for planting these carnivorous plants and aim to kill Zombies within that area for additional income.
The Zombie Crystal was of utmost importance. Zheng Yifan discovered that refining the first five levels of Essence was relatively easy. However, when it came to refining S-Class Essence, it required a staggering 10,000 Zombie Crystal s, and for SS-Level Essence, it demanded a whopping 100,000 Zombie Crystal s.
Without these, refining was impossible.
Shaking the bottle in his hand that shimmered with a faint purple glow, Zheng Yifan wore a broad smile. This was a perfume bottle he used to contain Essence, holding no more than 10 milliliters inside. The quantity was scarce, yet it had consumed nearly one liter of E-Level Essence to produce. It was enough to create a powerful individual within the Gathering Place.
Looking at the spirited warriors around him, Zheng Yifan immediately considered his next evolution. He would soon face the Ice King Squad and the original Han Sui City Gathering Place. There were many formidable enemies, and no matter how much he improved, it would never be enough.
Of course, the main issue was that he found dealing with Third-Stage Zombies quite challenging; encountering a Fourth-Stage Zombie would surely lead to his demise.
His total assets amounted to 7,609 Zombie Crystal s, which constituted all his wealth—hardly much. After all, during his time at the Howling Wind Gathering Place, he hadn't exchanged all his Zombie Crystal s before an unexpected incident occurred. Now he needed to accumulate slowly and even engage in trade to acquire more Zombie Crystal s.
Moreover, the cultivation of Winter Wheat also required these crystals. When planting, both Zombie Crystal s and the solution produced upon a Zombie's death served as the best fertilizer. Chemical fertilizers had lost their effectiveness; now it was a world governed by Vital Energy. Everything was linked to Vital Energy, and Zombie Crystal s could be seen as its crystallized form, albeit with properties from Zombies that made them non-absorbable by humans.
However, for plants, they were abundant fertilizer.
Raising his spear once more, Zheng Yifan entered a state of training again, having abandoned all techniques to focus solely on one direct thrust.
The demands for strength, speed, and accuracy grew increasingly stringent as his body became stronger. The potential of the Super Soldier Serum was gradually being tapped into.
At this moment, those explorers frantically joined the ranks of Zombie exterminators. They followed behind the Two Major Legions, taking advantage of any Zombies that were defeated; none could escape their encirclement. During this competition period, Military Merit would be awarded at double rates. The rewards for explorers from now until the end of the competition included but were not limited to double rewards for any Zombies defeated in the Resort. Previous missions remained valid as well.
This drove them even more mad; even those who had been hired as construction workers to build makeshift walls picked up weapons to join in the extermination efforts.
Their mission had yet to begin; earning some extra cash was something everyone desired.
At the forefront, two legions divided by the highway: the Flame Legion took charge of the left side while the Bloodbath Legion handled the right side. Their goal was to defeat and eliminate most Zombies before continuing their advance.
Han Rui and Li Qiang acted as referees, with Li Qiang in the Flame Legion and Han Rui in the Bloodbath Legion. They meticulously recorded Military Merit and maintained rankings on their laptops.
All warriors could check the leaderboard during their breaks.
Among the top ten on the leaderboard, nine were members of the Flame Legion, with the sole first-place position held by a warrior from the Bloodbath Legion, who was far ahead of the rest.
His name was Li Ning, a senior at Han Sui University in the Post-Apocalypse era. He had joined the Bloodbath Legion after passing an assessment following the battle to eliminate Cat Ear Cliff.
Though just an ordinary soldier, he had earned the nickname "Mad Tiger" for his reckless fighting style.
During this operation, no one expected that this usually reckless Fellow would become even more frenzied. Blood flowed from his mouth, yet he showed no fear.
When asked why he fought so wildly, he would always smile lightly.
"I still have family. My parents and a younger sister are trapped in Hansui City. When I lost contact with them five months ago, they were hiding in the Underground Mall of the city. It was originally built as a government bomb shelter, stocked with ample food, and they had cleared out all the Zombies. I need to save them."
"As for the scars on my hands, as long as they don't get infected by the Zombie Virus and turn me into one of those monsters, they're acceptable. I've heard that using Advanced Essence Fruit can heal all visible and hidden wounds, even restore disabilities."
In this competition, only those with hope and unwavering belief could emerge victorious.
They cast aside weakness and could only move forward!
