Global Descent: 100×Reward

Looking up at the sky, the already dark sky became darker as time passed.

From afar, one could vaguely hear the roars of the high-level zombies. The sound was ear-piercing and caused birds to fly away.

Night was the zombies’ greatest weapon.

If they continued to venture deeper into the forest, it would be a problem if they encountered a few Swift Zombies at once.

Lin Ye thought about it and temporarily gave up on looking for Zhang Liang.

He looked back at the native workers who were looking at the instant noodles and ham with curiosity. He said, “It’s getting late. Bring the living supplies and zombie corpses back to the graveyard. Everyone has worked hard today. Your lord will be treating everyone to a ham and instant noodles feast for dinner!”

“Long live our lord!” Although Worker One and the rest didn’t understand what a ham and instant noodles feast was, for it to be recommended by their lord, it must be a delicacy. They were so happy that they couldn’t hide their smiles.

With that, the group of people carried the boxes of instant noodles excitedly and quickly returned to the graveyard.

Because there were too many supplies, 60 people would need to make at least 10 trips to bring all of it back.

Fortunately, the workers who had set up the tents had just finished their work. They immediately joined the team which was moving the supplies, greatly increasing the manpower.

Lin Ye did not follow them and gave full authority to Worker One.

He arranged for ten other workers to dig a pit for the zombie corpses about 300 meters away from the graveyard.

He had just killed another 49 zombies so there were many corpses. From now on, this place would be used to convert zombie corpses.

After conversion, he would get another 4,900 Zombie Souls. Wonderful!

[Friendly reminder that the requirement for upgrading the bunker has been fulfilled. Do you wish to upgrade it immediately?]

At this moment, he heard a system notification.

It was only then that Lin Ye remembered that something like that did happen when he occupied Zheng Jingze’s ownerless graveyard a few hours ago.

He nodded, confirming the upgrade.

Whoosh—

In everyone’s eyes, the originally simple and crude bunker actually emitted a weak fluorescent light, and its earthy appearance slowly transformed.

A progress bar appeared in front of Lin Ye’s data-like vision. [Upgrading: 1%… 3%…]

At this rate, it would take at most an hour to complete.

“You guys, go to the river and recall all the other workers constructing the fisheries and barracks. We’ll have a banquet later.”

Lin Ye dismissed the ten native workers behind him and returned to the graveyard by himself. He began to sort out his haul for the day.

He opened his Civilization Archive and went straight to the resource page.

The numbers on his personal page were now extremely rich.

“Unknowingly, I’ve already gathered so much.” Lin Ye smiled, his heart jumping with joy.

Of course, even as he rejoiced, he did not let himself get carried away.

He picked up a branch and drew two circles on the ground.

One large and one small.

The smaller one represented the graveyard, while the larger one represented the area of his territory.

Currently, the area of his territory was a radius of 1km, centered around this graveyard.

During the day, the south side was close to the river and the zombies didn’t drop any loots. The west side was a boundless wasteland. For the time being, he had no thoughts about it.

70% of the area within 1km to his east was cleared.

Zhang Liang was most likely somewhere in the remaining 30%. He had already deduced his rough location.

As for the north, Lin Ye frowned.

The roars of the high-level zombies that could be heard in the direction of the forest just now came mostly from the north.

As expected, the zombies in the north were definitely much stronger and more numerous than the other three directions.

Dangers and opportunities coexisted.

According to the system’s settings, there would definitely be more random treasure chests in the north.

“Tomorrow, we’ll first clear out the territory. When the soldiers are produced, we’ll deal with the zombies in the north.” Lin Ye’s eyes revealed an eager light.

After a moment, he heard a commotion outside. He stopped his thoughts and walked out.

Worker One and the others had returned. A large number of living supplies were piled up on one side of the graveyard.

The native workers looked at the food from Earth like children seeing Ultraman – full of curiosity.

“My Lord, we’ve brought back all the supplies and thrown all the zombie corpses into the pit.”

Worker One straightened his back and reported excitedly.

“My Lord, when are we going to eat? We’re starving.” Someone raised his hand amongst the crowd as he panted.

Hearing this, the other native workers looked at Lin Ye eagerly.

Before they came back, they had heard that the team that had killed zombies with the lord had each been rewarded with a piece of beef jerky.

Although the amount was small, it was that legendary beef!!!

Upon hearing this, the native workers who were building tents, fisheries, and barracks all had their mouths watering.

Now, the lord was going to have a banquet. Something about some kind of instant noodles and ham ‘feast’. Although they did not know what it was, they felt that it sounded awesome.

“Calm down a little.”

Lin Ye raised his hand, and the commotion died down.

When he saw this, he nodded with satisfaction and continued, “Destiny has brought us together through this recruitment. I’m happy to be able to work with everyone. In the future, the construction of our territory will still require everyone’s help. We’re not in a master-servant relationship but a cooperative one. You guys work for me, and I’ll shelter you from wind and rain, and provide you with food and shelter. Since it’s our first meeting, I won’t continue to ramble on. Let’s start immediately. Today’s banquet can be considered a celebration of our meeting!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye summoned a few native workers and started a fire.

The technology here was completely different from Earth.

The pots here were wooden barrels made of special materials. Ordinary flames could not burn them.

Their method of starting a fire was also interesting. They held a dark round biscuit stone and threw it forcefully, hitting another round biscuit stone on the ground, causing it to spin rapidly.

Making use of that, they would put dried grass on the rotating round biscuit stone. The friction would generate heat and ignite the dried grass.

Sure, it could start a fire but as for its efficiency…

It was a long story.

“It would be great if I can get a blueprint for a lighter next time so that the people of this world can gain some knowledge.”

Lin Ye sighed in his heart.

After half an hour, the flame finally lit up.

Coincidentally, the upgrade of the bunker was completed at the same time.
