present.

Not a single person managed to apply successfully!

Noah's reason for refusal was only one: the conditions were not met!

Just moments ago, they were full of confidence, thinking they were about to escape their suffering.

In an instant, they were dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Does this Star-Level Shelter even accept people anymore?"

One student couldn't help but post on the forum.

Immediately, enthusiastic residents replied below:

"Our shelter calculates age by lunar age. Although you're still a few months shy of your actual age, according to lunar age, you're already an adult this year! Naturally, your application won't pass!"

Having received the answer, the students were all stunned.

What kind of ridiculous rule is this!

Seeing this, Yang Wei's eyes flickered.

He stood up and said, "I have something to take care of."

"Since everyone's application didn't pass, you should stay here with me for now."

After speaking, Yang Wei walked up the narrow stairs.

Above the cellar was the Yang Family's villa.

Many bodyguards in black stood outside the walls.

Yang Wei went directly up to the second floor of the villa.

He saw a middle-aged man in a dark purple suit standing by the window.

There were still leftover dishes on the table from a meal that had just finished.

This was Yang Wei's father, Yang Chengyi!

As a real estate magnate, how could Yang Chengyi bear to only prepare compressed biscuits?

Of course, there were also many fruits and fresh vegetables.

It was just that the quantity wasn't large.

In his eyes, the refugees in the cellar who were dependent on the Yang Family were not qualified to eat them at all.

Good things were naturally for their own family to enjoy!

Yang Wei only ate a meal of compressed biscuits with that group of people to build his image.

"Dad, look at this."

Yang Wei handed over his phone.

The screen clearly displayed the Star-Level Shelter's forum.

Yang Chengyi's attitude was initially casual.

But after flipping through a few pages of posts, his expression turned serious!

"Dad, which faction do you think this shelter belongs to?"

Yang Wei was worried.

The conditions at the Star-Level Shelter looked very good.

Everything was made of Heavy Metal!

From the photos posted by the shelter residents, it was clear that the Star-Level Shelter was very large.

Even ordinary residents could easily eat hot meals.

This indicated that the shelter had ample supplies!

When did Donghai City build such a large shelter?

Yang Chengyi tapped his fingers on the table, his brows furrowed.

"Awei, go gather some people."

"We'll go investigate the situation later."

After learning that the apocalypse was coming.

Yang Chengyi had made many preparations.

Being able to reach the top of his industry before the apocalypse showed that Yang Chengyi was a very ambitious person.

He didn't just want to build a place to take shelter.

Originally, everything was going according to Yang Chengyi's plan.

But now, the appearance of the Star-Level Shelter made Yang Chengyi feel a sense of crisis!

"Dad... do we have to go?"

Yang Wei looked worried.

Monsters were rampant outside now, and he didn't want to go out and get eaten.

Besides, Li Chen was from the Star-Level Shelter, and possibly even a manager.

He couldn't stand the thought of a classmate he used to look down on suddenly rising above him and living better than he was!

Yang Chengyi glanced at Yang Wei.

He said indifferently, "Isn't there an apocalypse guide on the forum?"

"Zombies move slowly during the day. As long as we're careful not to get surrounded, we should be fine."

Such a large shelter was right next to them.

If Yang Chengyi didn't go take a look, he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night!

"But, Dad, one of my classmates is a manager at the Star-Level Shelter."

Yang Wei finally voiced his thoughts.

Hearing this, Yang Chengyi smiled.

He patted Yang Wei's shoulder: "That's even better. We're short on water resources here. Since you have that connection, maybe we can even get some supplies."

"Awei, don't forget what I taught you. Those who achieve great things don't bother with trivial matters!"

Yang Wei nodded with a grim expression.

His fists clenched.

Make him borrow supplies from Li Chen?

Just thinking about it felt humiliating!

But Yang Wei didn't dare to argue with his father.

Besides, he also wanted to see the situation with his own eyes.

Maybe Li Chen wasn't a manager at all!

Less than ten minutes later.

The bodyguards downstairs were assembled.

Besides Yang Zhong and his son.

They also brought ten bodyguards and two classmates who wanted to see the excitement.

These ten bodyguards were all strong and sturdy, having followed Yang Zhong since before the apocalypse.

They were considered trusted subordinates.

They were all equipped with rifles and grenades.

Fully armed.

The off-road vehicle drove out of the garage.

The group got into the car and drove towards the address posted on the forum.

There were quite a few zombies on the road.

Some stood blankly by the roadside.

Hearing the noise, they immediately started running towards the off-road vehicle with unsteady steps.

However, basic zombies moved slowly during the day.

They couldn't catch up to the modified off-road vehicle at all.

Even if one or two lucky zombies occasionally climbed onto the vehicle.

They would be shot in the head by the Yang Family's bodyguards!

"Stop!"

"Get out and check if these zombies have Crystal Cores in their heads."

Yang Chengyi looked at the zombies with blown-off heads and gave the order with a cold expression.

Screech—

The two off-road vehicles immediately braked sharply.

Several bodyguards got out.

They used Swiss Army knives to pry open the heads of the killed zombies.

Before long, a transparent crystal, stained with blood, lay in their palms.

The inside of the crystal didn't seem to be solid.

Something like oil was sloshing around inside.

Although the outside of the crystal was covered in blood, the blood couldn't adhere to it at all.

With a slight shake, the crystal-clear crystal became clean.

"Mr. Yang, this should be the Crystal Core you mentioned."

"Every zombie has one, hidden in the back of their head. But the color seems a bit different."

The leading bodyguard respectfully handed over the wiped-clean Crystal Core.

"There really are some?"

Yang Chengyi's pupils constricted.

They dug up all the zombies on the ground, and there were a total of six Crystal Cores laid out before him.

Most of them were transparent.

A few had a faint red color floating inside.

As Yang Chengyi examined the Crystal Cores, his mind raced.

In the Star-Level Shelter's announcement,

It only said that Crystal Cores could be exchanged for supplies and weapons.

But it didn't say what the function of the Crystal Cores was!

It was foreseeable that the function of the Crystal Cores was definitely significant.

Otherwise, the Star-Level Shelter wouldn't be exchanging the most precious resources of the apocalypse for them.

Yang Chengyi was filled with a sense of crisis at this moment.

He didn't even know what the Crystal Cores were for.

But the Star-Level Shelter was already starting to acquire them in large quantities.

Coupled with the apocalypse survival guide on the forum,

It indicated that the person in charge of the Star-Level Shelter was very knowledgeable about this disaster.

Thinking of this, Yang Chengyi couldn't help but glance at Yang Wei.

Since the Star-Level Shelter had A Wei's classmates, perhaps they could use this connection to learn how to use the Crystal Cores.

That would be a great piece of news!

"Dad... why are you looking at me?" Yang Wei felt a chill run down his spine when he met Yang Chengyi's gaze.

"Nothing."

"Everyone, full speed ahead to the Star-Level Shelter immediately!"

"Unless necessary, ignore the zombies on the road."

As Yang Chengyi finished speaking, the two off-road vehicles roared and sped off again.
