Most importantly.

Looking at the time, Tier 2 Zombies were about to form a Zombie Horde.

A Combat Team could get 1 point of evolution energy for killing a Tier 1 Zombie.

Killing a Tier 2 Zombie could get 100 points of evolution energy!

When a large number of Tier 2 Zombie Hordes formed, that would be a flood of income.

That's right.

While other Survivors were still struggling to survive, worrying about tomorrow's survival.

While the major Shelters were facing a formidable enemy, armed to the teeth, and trembling.

Li Chen had already treated the Tier 2 Zombies as a money bag!

"Reporting, Commander, there is an anomaly outside the Shelter!"

Just as Li Chen was preparing to test the training results of the Resident Combat Team.

He received a message on his Smart Bracelet.

Li Chen immediately rushed to the Command Center.

"What's wrong?"

"Reporting, Commander, there are many refugees appearing outside our Shelter."

The manager said respectfully.

And he brought up the surveillance footage from outside the Shelter.

He only saw.

On the Opposite Bank of the River from the Shelter, in that Small Woods.

At this time, people were coming and going.

There were tents everywhere.

"What's going on?" Li Chen frowned.

"Because our soldiers often go out on missions, they conveniently cleared out the nearby Zombies."

"Some homeless Survivors secretly gathered on the Opposite Bank of the River two days ago."

"They brought some pre-apocalypse supplies, so many residents in our Shelter occasionally come out to trade for supplies."

The manager said slowly.

When scattered Survivors first appeared.

The manager had taken people to drive them away.

But it was useless.

After all, the area near the Star-Level Shelter was too safe.

Moreover, they lived right next to the Star-Level Shelter.

This also saved them from having to run back and forth after getting Energy Cores.

The attraction was simply too great!

"Commander, should we use force to expel them?"

The manager asked.

Only by shedding blood would these people dare not continue to loiter around the periphery of the Star-Level Shelter.

Li Chen shook his head.

It seems a small market has formed.

However, it didn't have any negative impact on the Star-Level Shelter.

Let them be.

"No need to expel them, but have people keep an eye out to avoid accidents."

Li Chen instructed.

These outsiders were doing business at the entrance of the Star-Level Shelter, and Li Chen saw no reason to stop them.

But if they dared to harm the residents of the Star-Level Shelter.

Or caused a negative impact on the Star-Level Shelter.

He would never tolerate it!

"Yes!"

The manager immediately replied.

"Alright, I'll go outside and take a look too."

Li Chen said, standing up.

He was still quite curious. The Star-Level Shelter had almost everything inside.

Why would people still go to the small market outside to trade things?

Perhaps he could optimize the factory.

The air was hazy.

As if it had been pixelated.

But it didn't affect the liveliness on the Opposite Bank of the River from the Star-Level Shelter at all.

Only after coming out did Li Chen realize.

He had put it mildly.

This was more than just a small market; it had the scale of a Large Farmers Market from before the apocalypse.

Small tents were set up one by one on the open ground.

Almost everyone had a cloth spread out in front of them.

On it were displayed a dazzling array of goods.

"Selling gold and silver jewelry! Absolutely genuine! One energy core for a box!"

"All-purpose water purifier, a big brand you can trust! Definitely an essential guide for your survival in the wild!"

"Passersby, come take a look! Chanel Hermes and various other brand-name shoes, bags, and clothes! Wholesale price, one energy core per bag!"

"Are you lonely? Isolated? This Happy Cup will help you get through every difficult night!"

The hawking was endless.

Most of them were selling entertainment items.

As for cars, weapons, and food, they didn't even have enough for themselves, so they were reluctant to trade them.

The unit of exchange was also energy cores.

Although no one knew what energy cores were for.

However, Star-Level Shelters could use energy cores to exchange for various supplies.

They had now become hard currency.

Li Chen observed carefully.

He noticed that the people who were buying.

Most of them were residents of Star-Level Shelters.

After all, only the residents of Star-Level Shelters had enough food and clothing.

And could afford to buy these with extra energy cores.

"Boss, how much is one Happy Cup?" someone asked.

The boss selling the Happy Cups quickly stood up and held up one finger.

"What? One energy core? That's too expensive!"

The person who asked the price frowned, shook his head, and left.

One energy core could be exchanged for a lot of bullets.

It wasn't like he didn't have his five fingers, so why bother buying a Happy Cup?

Seeing the person leave, the boss quickly chased after him and said, "Then one energy core for ten Happy Cups!"

"Go away, go away, what would I do with so many Happy Cups?"

The person rolled his eyes and left directly.

The boss returned to his spot dejectedly.

He looked at the stalls around him, showing a hint of envy.

At this moment, the appearance of a group of people attracted everyone's attention.

Leading the group was none other than Doctor Yang.

Beside him were Ning Jing and several other researchers.

To be honest, among this group, besides Ning Jing who was good-looking,

The others were all rather plain.

What drew attention was that they were dressed immaculately!

Their clothes didn't even have patches.

Their complexions were rosy and radiant, looking completely unfed.

"They're residents of the Star-Level Shelter! Tsk tsk, just by looking at them, you can tell they haven't suffered."

"What are they carrying in those big and small bags? Could it be Energy Cores?"

"Let's go, follow them and see. Maybe they're a big fat sheep!"

Behind these few people followed two men with sharp features and monkey-like faces.

This market area was not within the jurisdiction of the Star-Level Shelter.

So, the order was chaotic.

Black-on-black situations often occurred.

But the interesting thing was that everyone was basically equally poor.

Even with black-on-black, they couldn't get much in the way of supplies.

Some who were slightly more quick-witted immediately set their sights on the residents of the Star-Level Shelter.

These scattered individuals didn't have many supplies.

But the residents of the Star-Level Shelter did!

Each of them had a pile of Energy Cores, they were all big fat sheep!

Seeing Doctor Yang leading the other researchers, carrying big and small bags, and finding an empty spot,

They sat down.

They spread out their backpacks and took out some food, firearms, and so on.

These were things like instant noodles, biscuits, and homemade shotguns.

These were things they had collected before the apocalypse.

But ever since moving into the Star-Level Shelter, the researchers' treatment had been excellent.

They ate well and drank well every day, completely looking down on instant noodles and biscuits.

Hearing there was a market outside, they planned to trade these things for Energy Cores.

When the two men with sharp features and monkey-like faces saw this,

Their eyes lit up!

To the residents of a Star-Level Shelter, instant noodles were trash.

But to these lone Survivors, they were a delicacy.

The two exchanged glances.

A fat sheep!

"Zhang San, you go up and ask for the price first. Once you know the location, listen for my command and act immediately!"

Li Si licked his lips, eager to start.
