The newcomers were Zhu Dan, the Daoist, Bao Gechuan, Li Moxuan, and the others.
The zombies in D City had all been cleared out, leaving them with little to do there.
Their forces had now all moved into Home No. 1, within its D City territory.
They remained independent, but were currently allied with Home No. 1.
Major strategic initiatives had to be discussed and implemented together.
Now, Home No. 1 had split its forces between J Province to the north of the base and S Province to the south. Their people were also operating in those two provinces, though on different missions, and they would all look out for one another.
Their highest equipment standard matched Home No. 1's second echelon.
But they had to exchange Energy Crystal Cores and various materials for it.
This was not because Shen Jin was stingy or unwilling to equip his allies, but because of long-term policy considerations.
After all, they were free, and only had to follow Home No. 1's arrangements on matters of tremendous importance.
For instance, they would only be called up if zombies besieged the city and everyone needed to return to defend it.
So they certainly could not receive the same treatment as his own troops.
Otherwise, it would undermine the rules.
There might not be any problems while Zhu Dan, the Daoist, and Li Moxuan held power, but the same could not be said for others.
Earning equipment through their own abilities was the most reasonable approach.
Of course, Shang Qian had strongly supported this strategy from the outset, since it meant she could use monetary policy to regulate these Superhuman factions, subtly guiding them to act in the direction Home No. 1 wanted.
Now, they had all sent their subordinates out to clear zombies.
