Chapter 12: Chapter 12

“It’s too little, not worth it.”

Looking at the increase in experience of his bunker after the alliance, Lin Ye shook his head in dissatisfaction.

Currently, the ways he knew to increase the experience of the bunker was to convert zombie corpses and occupy other people’s graveyards.

The effects of both were pretty good.

If it was a Level 1 Zombie, the Zombie Converter would give 10 experience points for every corpse it converted.

It took 1000 points from Level 1 to Level 2.

Initially, he had converted 45 Level 1 Zombies and 1 Level 2 Zombie. Then, he occupied Zheng Jingze’s graveyard and it increased drastically.

He leveled up to Level 2 instantly, and his EXP bar was still more than halfway through.

In other words, occupying even the trashiest graveyard would increase experience points by at least 1,500.

If the other party had more infrastructure, his gains would be greater.

The alliance which he had just formed was the third way to increase the experience points.

However, its efficiency was terrible. It was only one-tenth of the experience points of what he would have gained if he had occupied the graveyard.

It would have been fine if this was a normal game, but this was a matter of life and death.

Therefore, in order to become stronger, Lin Ye could only apologize to the eight closest people around him.

Other than Zhang Liang, who he had already found,

There were seven others about 1,000 to 2,000 meters away from him.

Although the dark map was unable to show specific information about them, he could roughly determine their location with the help of the golden dot.

Next, he just had to occupy all their graveyards.

His own bunker would level up a few times at least, and it was definitely not a problem for his territory to reach a radius of five to six thousand meters.

By then, he would be able to see more people.

Like this, before long, his territory would be able to cover the area where his parents were.

By then, the crisis of his family would be averted.

Even if the far distance made it difficult for the soldiers to go, they could at least set up an alliance trading market and send resources and weapons to his father.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye suddenly felt a surge of motivation.

He finished the beef instant noodles and barbequed meat skewers in a few bites. If it weren’t for the fact that he was afraid that the native workers would rebel, he would have made these people work overtime and in shifts.

“Bah, that’s a dangerous thought…”

Lin Ye’s eyes flickered, but he ultimately chose not to do so.

At the end of the dinner, Nicole and the other chefs began cleaning while the native workers dumped all the trash into the corpse pit.

The effect of the Zombie Converter was astonishing.

The main ability was to convert corpses into Zombie Souls. It could also degrade trash, which could effectively prevent contamination of the area due to trash.

Lin Ye had to give the system a thumbs up for this.

At this moment, the system sent a congratulatory message.

“You have obtained 49 Zombie Souls.”

“Triggered 100xReward effect. 4,900 Zombie Souls obtained.”

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. The experience bar of your bunker is full. Do you wish to upgrade it to level 3?]

“Upgrade.” Lin Ye nodded.

49 zombie corpses meant 490 experience points for the bunker.

The experience bar of the bunker was almost full, so it was reasonable for it to level up from that.

Bzz—

Moments later, the mysterious upgrade energy beam descended. The bunker emitted a faint glow and rapidly transformed.

One hour later, the level up of the bunker was completed.

“Not bad!” Lin Ye took a look and was very satisfied.

Soon, night fell and many native workers yawned.

Lin Ye left 20 native workers for night shift to guard the area, while the rest went to rest in the tents.

However, the 100 cat-eared chefs in front of him were a little awkward. The 80 tents were only enough for the native workers to live in.

Lin Ye had no choice but to let all the chefs live in the bunker for the time being.

Fortunately, the Level 3 bunker was three times larger than before. It was more than 60 square meters with 2 floors.

Oh gosh. With more than a hundred people crammed in there, it was hell of a squeeze for Lin Ye.

“Nicole, did you just fart?”

In the dead of the night, Lin Ye asked coldly.

“???”

Nicole’s face flushed red. Amidst the stifled laughter around, she shouted in embarrassment, “It wasn’t me! It was clear…”

“Alright, don’t be too serious. It’s just a joke.”

Lin Ye coughed lightly and forced himself to turn his body into a more comfortable position. He asked curiously, “Nicole, can I talk to you for a bit?”

Nicole was stunned for a moment. Her feelings of shame and anger had nowhere to go, suffocating her.

She puffed up her cheeks and answered unhappily, “What does the lord wish to know?”

“I want to know everything about this world, like the zombies, native workers, and your cat-eared race,” Lin Ye said.

Nicole glanced at him and could roughly guess what Lin Ye was thinking. She said slowly, “Just as you see, our world is an apocalyptic one. Because of an evil ritual, the gates to hell were opened. Endless zombies invaded the entire continent.”

“The war was tragic. All the best soldiers and kingdoms were destroyed one after another. In the end, in order to preserve our civilization, the various races chose to live underground.”

“Life underground is bitter. We can’t grow vegetables and rice because there’s no sunlight. We can only rely on the vast amounts of zombie souls inherited by each race to exchange for food.”

“However, there will always be a day when even that would be completely used up. Therefore, the various races came up with recruitment orders. As long as humans from other worlds descend, they can summon us through this recruitment order. We will serve the new lord in exchange for remuneration, so that we can maintain the livelihood of our people living underground.”

Lin Ye fell into silence when he heard this, and waves of shock arose in his heart.

According to Nicole, before they transmigrated over, other humans from other worlds had descended upon this continent as well.

What happened then?

Did they lose or win?

He vaguely had an answer.

Perhaps because the subject was too heavy, after a few words, Lin Ye fell dispirited. Even the joy of levelling up the bunker was washed away.

He patted Nicole on the head and said in a soft voice, “Good night. Rest early. We still have to work hard to expand the graveyard tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Nicole nodded obediently.

Although she did not know what had happened, it seemed like her lord was feeling down.

Oh, but even though he was depressed, the lord still looked handsome!

Looking at Lin Ye’s silhouette, Nicole’s starry eyes revealed an admiring look.

The night passed uneventfully. When she woke up the next day,

Nicole noticed that Lin Ye had already left early in the morning and quickly called the cat-eared chefs out to make breakfast.

The morning sun broke through the haze and spilled across the entire graveyard.

As if dispelling the ghosts, the air became clear and the sun was shining brightly. It was no longer as cold as it was initially.

Outside the bunker, Lin Ye had personally joined the people doing the construction. The efficiency of the construction of the barracks skyrocketed.

In less than half an hour, the system sent a series of notifications.
