Apocalypse: Transmigrated General’s Daughter Uses Space to Survive

Even some people infected can be lucky and survive, so don't jump to conclusions. But don't take unnecessary risks either." Ye Xuan instructed before placing the several bottles with the maggots on the table and left.

Now that he was done with all his errands and had talked to everyone he needed to talk to, he went back to his apartment on the nineteenth floor.

As soon as he walked in, he saw the hot pot on the table. Only then did he remember that he had not eaten. Ever since he advanced to the second level of Qi refinement, he had realized that he could go for a whole day without eating and not feel hungry, but he still preferred the normal routine of a human. Eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Ye Xuan savoured the dishes filled with spiritual energy and felt his mood brighten even in the gloomy weather and nonstop rain.

After he was done with everything and washed the dishes, he went back to his bedroom for a shower and went to bed. He had decided to rest tonight instead of cultivating. It was good to unwind sometimes.

The next morning after waking up and completing his morning routine, Ye Xuan was about to fix himself something to eat when the doorbell rang. He stopped what he was doing and went to open the door.

It was Gu Fan standing there carrying plates of food. It looked like they had woken up earlier and had already cooked breakfast.

He stood to one side and let the newcomer in.

"Boss, I need to talk to you about something." Gu Fan started as soon as he sat down on a chair in the dining room.

"What is it?" Ye Xuan asked while serving himself the food brought by his subordinate.

"I have seen the other soldiers and it seems that our team has grown a little too big and needs proper management like a unit. We can't be casual anymore. What are we going to do now?" Gu Fan asked because he and his brothers were shocked when they went down to meet those other soldiers.

When Ye Xuan said that he had brought new soldiers, they had assumed that maybe he had brought maybe ten people, only to go down and find over a hundred soldiers in the dining area. Saying they were surprised would be an understatement. It was, in fact, a shock.

But when they heard the circumstances that had forced them to quit the military and follow Ye Xuan, they felt sympathetic and were more accepting of their new comrades.

Moreover, their aim of joining forces with the Chu family was not only to ensure better survival for themselves, but help humanity survive this crisis. Therefore, taking in more people means that they can achieve their goal easier with more help. They would also be saving more people and preserving the remaining human population.

Gu Fan was especially disgusted by the leaders who resorted to killing their own soldiers in pursuit of power when the population of humans was already on the decline. Instead of working hard to save more people and protect those still alive, they were busy trying to eliminate what threatened their interests by killing even more humans.

He and his brothers had talked about this last night and decided to do something about it. At the moment, every surviving human was important. As long as they were not the type to drag others down and cause more trouble than helping, they should be protected, even from people like those military leaders.

If humans continued to die at such large numbers, then it wouldn't be long before the extinction of humanity came. Now that they had some ways to offer help and protection, he felt that they should do something.

Even if they didn't take in more people, they should have a way to make those in leadership positions or holding power accountable.

Luckily, even though many people had run out of food, the early warning that urged citizens to stock up on food had helped a lot more to have some dry foods to eat. As long as they had gas and water, even boiling beans would provide something to eat.

Also, because of how the president had urged people in the earlier days to go out and kill zombies, many people had some experience, therefore, they would brave the rain to go out and search for food even in the water.

This was the reason that there were still many people who were alive and hadn't given in to despair.

Some survivors who had been scavenging in a building close to where Chu Miao and her team passed the previous day had witnessed them killing the huge mutated fish. They had also heard them discussing how the healthy and edible fish were clear of any signs of decay around the area where the crystal core was located in the head and how those with the zombie virus have some black spots around that area.

Moreover, the news of the use of crystal cores had started to spread. Now, more people could enhance their superpowers using crystal cores. Others can also use them to trade for supplies they need.

A new barter trade had been born. Using crystal cores as a currency to exchange for supplies. Others used different supplies to exchange with others and get what they needed.

For instance, if a woman needed tampons and she didn't have a crystal core to exchange for them, she could offer a kilogram of rice in exchange for a pack of tampons. The same went for other products.

Also, those with the ability to hunt those big mutated fish had banded together to do so. Luckily, the fish were big. Even when twenty people worked together to kill one, each person could take home a significant amount of meat.

Meat had become as rare as gold and someone would exchange three kilograms of rice for a kilogram of meat.
