[The system offers a range of fascinating features and capabilities to aid you in your mission to save humanity. Here are some additional intriguing features that will enhance your abilities and provide unique opportunities:]
1. **Point System**: The system operates on a point-based economy. Killing zombies will earn you points, and these points can be used to acquire various resources, equipment, and even fulfill personal desires. The more challenging the zombie you defeat, the more points you will earn. Your actions in combat, whether solo or with allies, will determine your point accumulation.

Each ally brings unique skills, knowledge, and combat abilities to the table, strengthening your overall capabilities and increasing your chances of survival.
4. **Points from Allies**: Allies you recruit not only contribute to your overall strength but also generate points over time. The more survivors you have within your base, the more points you earn on a daily basis. This creates an incentive to seek out and accommodate as many survivors as possible, as their presence not only ensures greater security but also adds to your resources.
5. **Base Building and Upgrades**: Establishing a fortified base becomes crucial in the post-apocalyptic world. The system assists you in finding suitable locations and provides blueprints for constructing and upgrading your base. Enhancing your base not only offers better protection against the undead but also unlocks additional functionalities and resource-generating structures. Upgrading your base will yield a significant influx of points, empowering you to further strengthen your arsenal and support your allies.
6. **Special Abilities and Skills**: The system acknowledges your unique traits and the potential for personal growth. As you progress and earn points, the system grants you access to special abilities and skills that enhance your combat prowess, survival instincts, and strategic thinking.

7. **Research and Development**: The system provides opportunities for research and development, allowing you to study the zombies, their behavior, weaknesses, and potential cures. Through this feature, you can unlock valuable insights, develop countermeasures, and devise new strategies to gain an edge in the ongoing battle against the undead.
Remember, user, these features are designed to support and empower you on your mission to save humanity. By utilizing the system's capabilities and earning points through combat, recruitment, and base management, you will pave the way for a stronger and more hopeful future in this shattered world.
"This system really wants me to recruit allies. I shouldn't think about that much, I don't have a base to begin with, I should wander for a while and get some points. Speaking of points, let me look at what I can buy. "
