The pinned, red, bolded post in the forum contained the application requirements.

[First, minors, active military personnel, and veterans have priority for joining.]

[Second, individuals with special skills have priority.]

[Third, women under 28 years old, who have not given birth, are in good health, and have a good appearance, may apply.]

[Note: Adult males may bring two family members to join the shelter. Females do not have attached quotas.]

After reading these conditions, everyone exploded!

"Why can men bring two family members, but women can't bring anyone? Isn't this blatant gender discrimination?"

"What kind of garbage conditions are these? The person who made them must be a piece of trash!"

"Heh, women must not have given birth and must have a good appearance. It's obvious they're going in to be breeding tools. You dare to enter this kind of shelter?"

"What a trash shelter! I'd rather die outside, starve to death, freeze to death, or be eaten by zombies, than enter this shelter!"

"Can those without special talents be accommodated? I've always worked in a state-owned enterprise, I really don't know how to do anything else."

"Brothers, sigh, my application didn't pass. I feel terrible."

"Upstairs, what's there to feel terrible about? Although your application didn't pass, you can kill zombies and exchange crystal cores for supplies at the Star-Level Shelter."

"Damn it! I just had two abortions, I didn't give birth, so why didn't my application pass? Who hasn't loved a scumbag when they were young!"

Those who met the conditions had already started filling out the application form and submitting it.

Those who didn't meet the conditions were cursing loudly.

This was the only way they could vent their anger and fear.

Besides the application requirements, the forum also had sections for finding relatives and survival.

Noah had compiled a doomsday survival guide and pinned it in the survival section.

It included the weaknesses of zombies, the function of crystal cores, and some popular science about finding water sources and wild plants and animals.

Some people who were far from Donghai City were already carefully reading the survival guide.

[Zombies are a virus transmitted through blood and saliva. From infection to onset, it takes no more than 24 hours.]

[Primary zombies are afraid of water. Try to find places with water sources for shelter.]

[During the day, zombies are exposed to sunlight and move relatively slowly. At night, zombies have sensitive senses of smell and hearing. Do not go out.]

[The energy of zombies comes from the crystal core in their heads. If you want to kill a zombie, cut off its head directly.]

This survival guide enlightened many people.

Some sharp-eyed individuals immediately asked,

"Primary Zombies? Does that mean the current zombies are just primary, and there will be intermediate and advanced ones?"

"No way? Can zombies evolve?"

"We can't even handle primary zombies now. If they can really evolve... won't humanity be finished?"

"Honestly, this guide is very useful. If I had known earlier... my comrades wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves."

"Am I the only one curious about who the person in charge of the Star-Level Shelter is? Not only does it have strong fortifications and so many supplies, but it can also issue a guide like this. They seem like a god!"

"What's the use of being curious? Didn't you see the photos posted by the people in the shelter? It's full of heavy metal everywhere. The person who built the shelter must have been rich or powerful before the apocalypse."

Although most people didn't meet the application requirements for the shelter,

With this survival guide,

And the ability to exchange zombie Crystal Cores for supplies,

It undoubtedly ignited hope in everyone!

As for the chaotic and negative comments in the forum,

They were quickly discovered by Noah and silenced.

While everyone was discussing heatedly,

In Donghai City, Villa District.

In the underground shelter.

Calling it a shelter, it was actually just a cellar.

It was just dug deeper, about two hundred square meters.

Yang Wei was sitting with about twenty classmates from his class, gathered around.

Eating compressed biscuits.

The taste of compressed biscuits wasn't bad.

But for convenience, Yang Wei's family's shelter

Only stored a small amount of fruit pulp, vegetables, and rice.

Most of it was compressed biscuits!

And they hadn't prepared any water.

In the middle of everyone were the only two bottles of mineral water in the cellar.

Once they were finished, there would be no more.

After eating the compressed biscuits, everyone felt their throats dry.

But no one dared to speak up and ask for water.

Anyone could see that these two bottles of mineral water were life-saving...

"Ah, my throat feels like it's on fire."

The Class Beauty swallowed the compressed biscuit in her mouth with difficulty.

She complained suggestively.

Given her relationship with Yang Wei, the Class Beauty fully expected Yang Wei to give her the mineral water directly.

The result, however, surprised her.

"Alright, whose throat isn't dry!"

"It's good enough that you have something to eat, and you're still being picky here."

Yang Wei showed no regard for their past relationship.

The others, wanting to curry favor with Yang Wei, also condemned her.

"It's already good that Wei Ge is willing to take us in, do you still want things to be like before?"

"It's the apocalypse, just make do. If Wei Ge hadn't agreed, you'd be in some Zombie's belly right now!"

"Yeah, people still outside now don't even have a bite to eat, they're too busy hiding from Zombies. How can they be as leisurely as us? You should be content!"

One after another, they spoke.

This directly made the Class Beauty dare not say anything more.

At this moment, someone thought of Li Chen.

"I wonder how that kid Li Chen is doing now. Sigh, yesterday Wei Ge kindly called him, but he completely ignored it."

"Wei Ge was willing to put aside old grudges and let him come over, he's just asking for death, alright."

"Heh heh, Li Chen has probably been eaten by Zombies by now. Who told him to dare oppose Wei Ge, he's just asking for death!"

Regardless of how they felt about Li Chen before.

Now everyone subconsciously mocked him to please Yang Wei.

Before the apocalypse.

Yang Wei was a rich second generation, his family was in real estate and extremely wealthy.

That's why Yang Wei's family was able to open a cellar and build a shelter.

Everyone here knew.

If it weren't for their classmate relationship, Yang Wei definitely wouldn't have let them hide together.

Although this shelter was made of concrete.

At least it looked relatively safe.

Moreover, Yang Wei's family had also hired bodyguards to guard the vicinity.

This gave everyone a sense of security.

While everyone was discussing, the School Beauty beside them lowered her head and remained silent.

She had been rescued by Yang Wei's bodyguard yesterday.

Originally, she had wanted to go to the official shelter.

Who knew she would face countless difficulties and dangers on the way?

Only to find that the official shelter had already fallen.

Inside, there were only Zombies, no living people!

Having no other choice, she followed Yang Wei's bodyguard here.

Hearing everyone mention Li Chen, a hint of worry appeared on the School Beauty's face.

"How about I send Li Chen another message?" the School Beauty whispered.

"Heh, the signal is completely cut off now. Even if you send it, Li Chen won't receive it!"

"Wei Ge is magnanimous, but I still think it's not appropriate to have Li Chen come over."

The other classmates immediately objected.
