Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: All the Gifted

A minute later, a mercenary stood in front of Li Fei.

"Commander, Private Tony reports to you."

This time, it's a white man, just the name. . . .

"Tony, can you cut hair?"

"Oh, how did you know that? I was actually a barber before I became a mercenary.

But one time when I was cutting a customer's hair, he fell asleep and the scissors stabbed him in the head. Then we started fighting, and I hit him even harder, which turned him into an idiot.

I went to prison because of this, and after I got out, no one asked me to cut their hair anymore, so I had to work as a mercenary to make a living.

I actually like haircuts, and if you need a haircut, Tony would be more than happy to help you."

Really, System, did you do this on purpose?

"Well, let's not talk about it now. Our current mission is to clean up the zombies. You and Abri will clean up each house individually."

With Tony joining in, Li Fei no longer needed to introduce himself.

 Open the store, "Rifle bullets, 100 rounds for 5 gold coins, can adapt to the equipped weapon. Pistol bullets, 100 rounds for 4 gold coins, can adapt to the equipped weapon."

"System, what does this adaptation mean?"

"Simply put, it's universal. No matter what weapon you equip, you'll get the appropriate bullets for it."

It's very magical, not bad, and the price is reasonable, so I bought it. Now there are 24.8 gold coins left, so you can buy 400 rifle bullets and 100 pistol bullets directly. The balance is 0.8.

But Li Fei is in no hurry because he has a source of income.

As time goes by, Li Fei and the others are able to eliminate the zombies faster and faster. The number of mercenaries under his command is increasing.

 When they went up to the 33rd floor, it was cleared, leaving only the 34th floor. After Li Fei gathered the supplies on the 33rd floor, he said to the eight people around him, "It will be dark in less than an hour. We must hurry up and clean the 34th floor. We will rest there tonight and try to "keep the zombies out." Come and fight, and don't make the house dirty."

The eight men took the order and left, and as they heard the gunshots, things quickly calmed down. The fighting was over for the day.

We chose two relatively clean houses as a camping spot tonight. Li Fei was in no hurry to recycle the supplies in the two houses, and it wouldn't be too late to recycle them before leaving tomorrow.

Li Fei ordered the people to bring some of the food they had collected, and bought various types of meat and vegetables from the mall. He also bought a gas stove and quickly prepared the meal before dark.

Li Fei ate eagerly. After all, the original owner hadn't had a proper meal for half a month and was almost starving to death. He came to me in and also ate two single ration meals in a row. This body has almost forgotten the taste of rice.

After dinner, Li Fei sat on the sofa and began to arrange the guards, two people in a group, each group for two hours, to guard the corridor on the 28th floor. There had been intermittent gunshots from our side all day, and the survivors nearby must have heard them.

He didn't want anyone to enter the place he had just cleaned, neither zombies nor survivors.

You have your own secrets, and you are not allowed to reveal them to others. As for the future, I will definitely deal with these survivors. By then, I should have gained a certain amount of strength, and I can hide many things.

After arranging the guard posts, Li began to evaluate today's gains and think about how to develop in the future.

7 floors were cleaned today, and in addition to my house, I also found 3 unfinished and uninhabited houses.

The other 24 families killed a total of 53 zombies, recycled supplies and earned over 1,100 gold coins. Later, they recruited 6 mercenaries, including Tony, at a cost of 700 gold coins. In addition, they also spent 732 gold coins to compensate for the losses in combat. And to buy daily necessities and gold coins.

We also found a lot of daily necessities. After we clean the entire building tomorrow, we will move them all to the basement.

As for the crystal cores, I only harvested 4 in total. I don't know if it was because of my bad luck or the probability of obtaining crystal cores was naturally low. The ratio was more than 13:1.

Open the system panel.

[Host: Li Fei]

Age: 19

Rank: None

Position: Commander

Gold: 416.2

Points: 53

Skills: None

Troops: 8

It's the same as what Li Fei expected. Now we have 416 gold coins. Recruit two more people to make it ten.

Click on "Recruit", then double-click on the mercenary option, and a two-minute countdown will start.

"The system states that the default structure of this system is that 11 people form a class, and the 11th person recruited is the class leader by default."

Then order another one, we don't need that little amount now.

After three minutes, the three mercenaries came out.

"Commander, Zhao Lin, the leader of the 1st Platoon Squad, the 1st Company of the Mercenary Group, reports to you."

"Zhao Lin, based on your name, are you Chinese?"

 "I report to the commander, I am Chinese. I have been yearning for military life since I was a child. However, because my grandfather was a bandit and my father was involved in gangs, I failed the political review and could not join the army. "After that, I went to Iraq and joined a mercenary organization."

Li Fei complained in his heart, your family is full of talented people!

"Well, I just arranged the guard, now you are in charge."

"Yes, commander, you can go and rest. We will keep you safe."

Li Fei had gone through many things that day. He had traveled from Blue Star to Tianyuan Star early in the morning. He was on the verge of death when he first arrived. Then he got the golden finger and started the first step of his journey. Now he could finally relax. Breathe.

Suddenly, Li Fei felt exhausted all over. He found a bedroom, lay down on the bed, and checked the four-dimensional data of his body.

[Host Li Fei]

Strength: 6

Agility: 6

Intelligence: 9

Stamina: 5

I have recovered a lot compared to this morning, but I am still very weak compared to an ordinary person. But that doesn't matter. Now that I have enough food and drink, my safety is guaranteed. I will recover slowly.

Despite being extremely tired, Li Fei remained lying on the bed, forcing himself to be optimistic and plan for his future development.

In the short term, we will clean Building 3 tomorrow. It will be very easy now that we have enough From the workforce. We will try to clean the entire 6th yard in two days. This way we can have a small base.

As for the future, it is difficult to say now. I have just arrived here and have no idea about the situation in the outside world.

Li Fei had no idea how far the rescue team was going, whether there were any spontaneous civilian groups, or even how many zombies were nearby.

Li Fei had never thought about whether or not to go to the shelter, and he probably wouldn't think about this issue in the future.

The question Li Fei was thinking about was whether or not he would accept the survivors in the future, and if so, how would he support them. . . . After thinking for a long time without coming up with a suitable plan, Li Fei fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Li Fei inhaled the fragrance before waking up. I got up and walked out of the room, and saw Zhao Lin and the others preparing breakfast.

"Commander, you're awake, breakfast will be ready soon."

"Well, Zhao Lin, everything was fine last night, wasn't it?"

 "Basically, we didn't find anything unusual, but there was a survivor screaming upstairs. It sounded like he was on the 26th floor, but we didn't respond to him. He screamed twice and then stopped."

"Survivors? We went up from the 28th floor yesterday and didn't find any survivors. I ignored the survivors. It looks like there are still people down there. What did he scream?"

"He asked us if we were a rescue team and asked if we could give him something to eat."

Well, after breakfast, you need to lead people to clean up the place. Watch for survivors. Knock on the door before you go in. If there are any survivors, just walk past them and don't contact them yet."

"Yes, by the way, Commander, we've discovered something else."

"What's going on here?"

"We found that after dark, the zombies downstairs seemed less mobile, and their speed seemed to be much slower than during the day."

"They're slowing down. Let's go out and check it out after dark. If they're really slowing down, it should be easier to clean them up."

 After breakfast, Zhao Lin led a team to start the battle from the 27th floor and clear all the way down. Li Fei turned into a scrap collector and followed him to recycle supplies.

We actually met some survivors on the 26th floor. They were a family of three. They hadn't had food for four days and were so hungry that they could barely walk. The person who opened the door was a man named Zhang Chuan, who kept begging Li Fei to give them something to eat or take them away.
