Post-War Reconstruction is always the most challenging. Even though efforts were made to set fire to important areas in the resort, the relentless and cold flames still destroyed many buildings. A simple Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher and fire bombs could only extinguish the not-so-large blaze, leaving a three-story Western restaurant reduced to ashes, already in a state of disrepair.
All the streets with dug-out ditches needed to be filled in again and repaved with Asphalt Road.
The renovation of the Sewers was particularly urgent. The existing Water Supply Pipeline was still usable, but the sewers had become a haven for Zombies, with them constantly crawling into the Hercules Building, only to be absorbed by the Demonized Fountain Tree. The two Sewers were connected, and plans for new sewer pipelines had entered the planning stage.
Once the planning for both the wall construction and other projects was completed, Zheng Yifan would need to transport a large quantity of modern materials into this post-apocalyptic world. Upgrading Storage Space was pressing.
Even more urgent was the open area of over 100 meters without wall defenses at Ruiguan. There, only a simple wall had been hastily constructed. While it could withstand a Second-Level Zombie Siege, it would be easily breached by a Third-Stage Zombie.
Moreover, there were those humans eyeing Ruiguan; they were not mere wolves but far worse. Fortunately, in this apocalypse, everything was restricted by Vital Energy.
Explosives had long since become obsolete; the Vital Energy in the air suppressed explosive power, making it nearly impossible to detonate most of the time. Gunpowder could still be used with some difficulty, but its effectiveness had diminished significantly, especially in enclosed spaces where explosive effects had been minimized.
The future belonged to the Vitality Era, an age of Superpowered Individuals. Modern weapons had already been tossed aside like garbage.
That’s why Zheng Yifan might still be interested in those things. At least those arms would still be useful if taken back to modern times; after all, technology decades ahead of Earth could make arming an island as one’s own backyard quite appealing.
On ordinary days, Zheng Yifan didn’t need to concern himself too much with work; an entire staff team was operating efficiently.
However, the replenishment of A-Level Essence had sparked a new wave throughout the Gathering Place. The military members had accumulated thirty to forty thousand Military Merit points during battles, with those closest to exchanging for A-Level Essence having reached forty thousand Military Merit points. They just needed another eight thousand to make the exchange.
In the Flame Legion, he had applied for long-term deployment along the border within a month and participated in exploration missions.
Only through this could he acquire Essence at the fastest speed and become a Superpowered Individual.
The difference between Superpowered Individuals and ordinary people was vast, especially when evolving using A-Level Essence.
Activating High-Level Superpower would be a stroke of luck for a lifetime and would grant him higher status within the Flame Legion.
At the same time, Li Ning found the Logistics Office and exchanged for a bottle of A-Level Essence, completely depleting his Military Merit and incurring significant favors from several good brothers.
Today, he would apply for his comrade's younger brother to join the Bloodbath Legion and allow him to participate in the trials. The A-Level Essence would also be handed over to the Bloodbath Legion's Legion Commander, Pu Qiang. As long as he successfully enlisted a month later and completed the assessment, he would receive this precious bottle of Essence.
As for himself, he needed to go to the recently arranged lounge in the Gathering Place to consume the A-Level Essence.
After taking it, he would enter a period of awakening, which was crucial and required meticulous care. Moreover, he had already lost his left hand and suffered extensive burns on his body, which were now showing signs of infection. If he did not consume the Essence, it wouldn't be long before he faced death.
Fortunately, he had secured first place in the competition and obtained that precious bottle of Essence.
Inside the Gathering Place's General's Office, almost everyone was busy preparing for the move, except for Zheng Yifan and Han Rui, who had vanished without a trace. The male secretary was always following closely behind them.
"This S-Class Essence is prepared for you. After using it, you'll gain an auxiliary Superpower. It will also help heal the scars on your face. Su Qin can wait a few days until she obtains her Essence; soon there will be another bottle of S-Class Essence available. If you're in a hurry, I still have some A-Class here," Zheng Yifan said as he handed the Essence to Han Rui. He felt much more at ease knowing he had the Essence in hand.
His subordinates still needed to slowly test and select suitable candidates for using the auxiliary Essence, and they must be loyal to Zheng Yifan. As for others, it would likely take two or three batches before they could be released into the market, and all auxiliary Essences should ideally be consumed internally to prevent them from appearing on the market.
This way, there wouldn't be too many auxiliary Superpowered Individuals among the other people in the Gathering Place.
Modern warfare relies on logistics; even without firearms, a massive logistical foundation is necessary for support.
"No problem!" Han Rui said without hesitation as she took the Essence, opening the cap and pouring it into her mouth. As the light yellow liquid entered her body, a wave of heat surged through her.
Her entire body felt like cooked shrimp. Soon, all her energy was focused on digesting the Essence, and she gradually fell asleep.
Zheng Yifan helped Han Rui onto the bed and covered her with a blanket.
The secretary had already made preparations; while Zheng Yifan was covering Han Rui with a blanket, he had sent someone to boil water and ensured that hot water would be available around the clock since he didn't know when Han Rui would wake up.
As for Zheng Yifan, after instructing the secretary to wait at the door for Han Rui's summons, he slipped into the ice storage of the General's Office and entered through a spatial gate.
It was still that familiar content; Zheng Yifan chose to level up without hesitation.
In an instant, a series of flickering and rolling images appeared before him, showcasing various characters from ancient times to the present, from movies to legends.
Each of them possessed boundless strength, destined to be remembered in history, each wielding a power that could shake the world.
They were undoubtedly stronger than Lin Chong, but their strength was different from his. Lin Chong's power lay in his Shooting Skill, his battle formations, and his extensive combat experience.
However, the figures before him seemed almost mythical.
Especially as the images gradually came to a halt, Zheng Yifan felt his heart twist in turmoil.
There stood the Ferry Man of the Eternal Kingdom, encapsulated in a single phrase.
Character Source: "My Date with a Zombie, Eternal Kingdom"
Hero Level: ??? Level
Character: In Calamity
Name: ???
Main Weapon: Silver Spear
Abilities:
Break the Thirty-Six Calamities with Guns
???????

What on earth...
Nothing happened. It felt as if a gentle breeze had passed by, leaving no trace behind.
"Where's the advancement? Where did it go?" Zheng Yifan closed his eyes, recalling the nerve-wracking process of leveling up. His head buzzed.
What was this? Where was the good advancement? Where was the strength? Where was the pleasant surprise?
This was truly a shocking surprise for him, Elder Brother.
One hundred thousand Zombie Crystal s! He had cleared out almost all the Zombies in Ruiguan, along with those left in the resort and the ones that had crossed over from Hansui City. That should have been enough.
Now, only the Zombies hidden deep in the mountains remained. Outside, he had dispatched several corpse-drawing vehicles to attract Zombies along the mountain roads, while various exploration teams had already set their sights beyond Ruiguan.
The walls of Jiang Grand Bridge were beginning to take shape; everything was developing positively.
Yet, that Third Stage ability had completely vanished without a trace.
Zheng Yifan had watched My Date with a Zombie, Eternal Kingdom. In that entire series, he was merely a minor character, on par with Elevator Uncle, but his identity was anything but ordinary.
The gatekeeper of the Eternal Kingdom could not possibly be like an ordinary mortal.
"How could it just disappear?" Zheng Yifan sat despondently on the ground, scratching his head in deep thought.
All this time, he had relied on the Time-Space Barrier and that ability to get this far. Without this trump card and its superhuman lethality, he would lose his capital for survival in this apocalyptic world.
In the apocalypse, strength reigns supreme. Now, he is the strongest in the entire Gathering Place, and his subordinates naturally dare not harbor any thoughts of rebellion; instead, they all cling to him.
He believes that once this evolution is complete, those from Han Sui City Gathering Place will no longer pose a threat to him. No matter how many people they have, as long as firearms remain ineffective, he alone can eliminate all the powerful foes.
But what about his strength at the Third Stage now?
With his eyes closed, Zheng Yifan pondered every event since he gained the ability to traverse two worlds, carefully reflecting on each detail and analyzing every aspect of his physical state.
For a full two hours, Zheng Yifan did nothing but recall everything that had happened to him.
Finally, he observed the character sheets he had recently acquired. He recalled the three character sheets he had obtained in his mind.
The biggest mystery lay in those few question marks. The identity sheets did not contain any questions, yet what caught his attention was the phrase in the final parentheses. But how could he learn? From whom? It simply provided a form and told him to find a master?
Don't joke around; in modern society, finding a master more powerful than Lin Chong is nearly impossible, let alone one of mythical caliber. This is an apocalypse, not modern cultivation.
As he racked his brain for answers, suddenly it felt as if something new had appeared in his mind—a figure, a faint silhouette. Unlike the calm smile on television, this face was sharp and resolute, with sword-like brows and piercing eyes that hinted at a trace of killing intent.
"In calamity, one cannot escape calamity. All things are created; the earth withers and flourishes... Nature has its subtleties and can be concealed. The nine orifices of evil depend on three essentials; they can be dynamic or static. Fire arises from wood; disaster must be overcome; treachery arises from nations; when time moves, it must collapse. To know is to cultivate; this is called a sage." After reciting a lengthy scripture, various gun techniques followed—simple and unrefined.
It was as if someone who had just learned shooting skills was practicing them slowly like an elderly person. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that it was merely his senses that had slowed down; in reality, when executed, it was swift enough to leave only an afterimage behind.
