Over a month had passed since the wild recovery process began in Australia, and a storm was brewing across the entire region. Everyone knew that change was coming.
Yet, no one resisted, nor did anyone dare to oppose it. Their former government was gone, but at least people were still alive. In a place infested with Zombies, merely surviving was already a significant achievement. Moreover, their personal property had not been infringed upon; in fact, taxes had been significantly reduced. Life was certainly better than before. The bourgeoisie were especially reluctant to resist, as their wealth was protected, and those who wanted to gain more naturally had to work hard for it.
This had always been the case; there were simply too few proletarians. Even if they wanted to rebel, they would have to face the Zombies on their own.
One simple statement rendered them powerless: they dared not confront the Zombies; those monsters were the most terrifying of all.
Furthermore, the new forces in Australia were incredibly powerful. Top-tier fighter jets from around the world had already landed at civilian airports, and naval ships from various countries could be seen gathering at major ports.
It was like a melting pot, filled with scientists and elites from all over the globe brought to this land—whether voluntarily or not. Once they arrived, if they wanted to survive, they had no choice but to abide by the rules here.
The rules were simple: to gain something, one must first give something. If you wanted food, you needed to work. If you didn’t have a job, that was fine; the Hope Group would provide you with opportunities to obtain food.
The world was undergoing a reorganization, yet various industries continued to thrive. Only those Otaku and fujoshi from the Post-Apocalypse truly faced elimination; they no longer had economic support or previous benefits—only their homes remained. Reluctantly, they had to seek their own paths.
However, even such individuals could find work in Australia. Many of them purchased goods from the Hope Group and opened supermarkets.
Now supermarkets and processing plants were reopening one after another. They could find jobs easily, and supermarkets were particularly popular since most operations were automated and inventory could be purchased on credit.
Most importantly, they didn’t have to pay for opening a supermarket themselves; the goods belonged to others. They only needed to participate in a few group activities, such as hunting events or missions collecting resources from battlefields.
They would earn considerable income because there were plenty of money-making opportunities while cleaning up battlefields.
Even if you were unwilling to do any of that, it didn’t matter; in every city, there were numerous positions and tasks waiting for you.
Once, Australia had a population of over twenty million, which sounded like a lot. However, when scattered across the vast land of Australia, it became hard to see many people at all. Moreover, after being ravaged by zombies, it was feared that even ten million might not remain. Those who were still alive naturally had access to more resources.
Agricultural machinery and national automation had already been placed on Zheng Yifan's desk at Hope Group. With the dwindling population, mechanization was inevitable. Zheng Yifan had approved this plan and was preparing to extract some designs and usable machinery from the Apocalyptic World.
The resources in the Apocalyptic World were abundant. However, with so many zombies around, there weren't enough places for them to wreak havoc.
Given the current scale of cultivation, it was already quite challenging. It was nothing like present-day Australia, where clearing land for an entire nation could be done in less than two months.
Having a small population wasn't a problem, but the existing housing and buildings were already limited. The remaining few zombies were hardly worth mentioning.
Zheng Yifan was currently enjoying the sun and beach, occasionally playing on the shore with Huang Mengni, Ladidia, Jessica, and a few other girls or sailing out on a yacht for leisure.
Of course, the resources consumed were vast. The overall output of the Australian region wasn't high; although it was recovering now, it still needed support. The Apocalyptic World was a mess, but fortunately, Zheng Yifan had developed a habit of storing food and supplies. He used to transport large quantities into the Apocalyptic World, where resources were not lacking.
If Zheng Yifan returned, he would still be in Deep City. He was preparing to go back to the Apocalyptic World to see what good items he could find at the port.
He could no longer stay in Deep City; there were simply too many strong zombies there. His team was still waiting outside Deep City. Survival was certain; however, he didn't know how well they were living since he didn't have much food left.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yifan packed his belongings and intended to return to the Apocalyptic World.
But just then, something unusual happened with several items in his Storage Space.
Zheng Yifan was taken aback and soon realized that it was the Primordial Pearls—three of them were undergoing changes. They began absorbing Vital Energy in large quantities. The Vital Energy in the real world was already scarce; when they absorbed it all at once, they tore away Vital Energy from hundreds of miles around. However, this little amount of Vital Energy was simply not enough.
Zheng Yifan had to return to the Apocalyptic World. He could sense that soon, he would have the chance to become a Sixth Tier.
As the Primordial Pearl absorbed Vital Energy, it also bestowed upon Zheng Yifan a magnificent power, one that transcended mere Vital Energy, although in reality, it was just a more refined form of it.
With nothing on him, he quietly walked past his women's rooms that night, placing a gentle kiss on each of their faces as a farewell.
He did not disturb these beautiful women and vanished silently from the stunning seaside villa.
Only those sensitive enough to have already known about Zheng Yifan's departure remained, softly touching their cheeks and holding back tears to prevent them from falling.
Of course, there was an exception—Huang Mengni—who was truly asleep and unaware of anything. She would only learn of Zheng Yifan's departure early the next morning.
As for Zheng Yifan, he had already crossed the Time-Space Barrier and slowly arrived at the other side of the passage.
With a leap, he entered the Apocalyptic World, a place filled with slaughter. The surrounding Zombies were fierce, and he himself was unsure how to deal with them.
However, he had to go; that was where true strength lay. The Zombies in the real world posed no threat to him. Once Australia stabilized, they would need to launch expeditions to various countries to eradicate all those Zombies. Naturally, they would start with easier targets—countries with low population density were already on Hope Group's list of conquest goals.
Upon entering the Apocalyptic World, he immediately felt the constraints of its rules. Everything here seemed to have changed; the previously absent power of rules reemerged. Zheng Yifan realized that the Primordial Pearl he had obtained was something extraordinary; he could actually break the rules that bound Firearms. (To be continued...)
