He saw that the newly arrived survivors numbered over a thousand. If each person received 10 jin of rice, 5 tons would be gone instantly.
So he walked to the survivor base's warehouse and dropped off another 10 tons of rice.
He then deposited 30 tons of potatoes to distribute among these thousand people.
After doing all this, Liu Yang felt reassured enough to leave the base.
Now this base had over a thousand new survivors, including six ability users.
Moreover, Ma Feiyun's ability was a fairly strong combat-oriented talent.
Even if Moulters attacked this base, with these few ability users present, they would be more than enough to hold them off.
Seeing the base grow stronger made Liu Yang very pleased.
There were already 2,000 survivors now.
He had lent each survivor 50 jin of potatoes. After one year, each of the 2,000 survivors would need to repay 200 jin, which meant 2,000 × 200 = 400,000 jin.
That was 200 tons of potatoes!
Liu Yang's resources would experience explosive growth!
Potatoes were truly wonderful.
Rich in starch, they could serve as a staple food. Since they propagated vegetatively, they could be planted simply by cutting them into pieces and placing them in soil.
A single potato could be divided into dozens of seed pieces!
In the apocalypse, they were far easier to cultivate than crops like rice.
Meanwhile, Liu Yang surveyed the villa district.
The district had 100 villas in total. Each villa had up to 50 rooms, meaning it could house a maximum of 50 people.
This survivor base could accommodate up to 5,000 people!
However, if all 5,000 people were used for farming, the land within the villa district wouldn't be enough.
Therefore, a population of 2,000 to 3,000 was the optimal density.
With over 2,000 people already here, it seemed time to consider creating a new base.
Liu Yang made up his mind.
In the coming days, he needed to properly survey the nearby terrain and find a better location to establish a new survivor base.
With his decision made, Liu Yang took off directly into the sky in front of everyone, leaving the base at supersonic speed.
Watching Liu Yang fly off at extreme speed, the newly arrived survivors widened their eyes in disbelief.
They couldn't help exclaiming, "My God, what was that?! Was that a sonic boom just now? Supersonic flight?"
"Is he even human? Even flying ability users can't move that fast! How can a human body endure that kind of speed?"
"They say the fastest bird is the swift, reaching just over 300 kilometers per hour. The speed of sound is 1,224 kilometers per hour! And he was breaking the sound barrier?!"
"That's simply not human!"
"I never expected this base to be protected by such an absolute powerhouse. Joining this place truly makes one feel safe!"
"Unbelievable... That speed is absurd!"
...
Seeing these new arrivals so utterly shocked, the old survivors all wore proud expressions on their faces. They chuckled, "You don't even know God Liu? Heh, how ignorant!"
"God Liu is the absolute strongest ability user! He's transcended humanity and become a god-like existence!"
"That ability user who led you here was hilarious. Trying to act like the big boss the moment he arrived! We were secretly laughing our heads off watching him. We already knew that as soon as God Liu showed up, he'd be flattened!"
"Hahaha! He really did crash hard. But at least he knew when to yield and immediately begged for mercy. Otherwise, his fate would've been ten times worse!"
The veteran survivors burst into hearty laughter.
In their eyes, Liu Yang was an omnipotent, god-like existence.
...
Elsewhere.
After Liu Yang returned to his own villa district, he resumed his routine: scavenging supplies by day, and working overtime to expand his lineage by night.
Another twelve days passed.
Liu Yang's stockpiles had doubled once again.
The sheer quantity had reached an unquantifiable level.
Even if he had to sustain a survivor base of 10,000 people, it could probably last for decades!
At the same time, he had achieved a 27-kill streak.
He had also received the milestone reward for his 20-kill streak.
That day, Liu Yang pulled up his status panel.
"Name: Liu Yang"
"Age: 18"
"Height: 185 cm"
"Weight: 80 kg"
"Strength: 1500"
"Speed: 1500"
"Stamina: 1500"
"Spirit: 1500"
"Abilities:
1. Future Deduction (Level 6)
2. Virus Immunity (Level 6)
3. Ice Control (Level 8)
4. Dark Space (Level 8)
5. Zombie Control (Level 5)"
"Equipment: Dark Cloak, Black Light Katana"
"Special Talent: Genetic Enhancement"
"Special Items: Ability Advancement Scroll x1"
After completing the 15-kill streak in the neighboring villa, Liu Yang had been somewhat unlucky and didn't unlock a new ability.
However, his base attributes had risen to 1,500 points-30 times that of an ordinary human.
His movement speed had reached 280 meters per second.
His flight speed had reached 560 meters per second!
Meanwhile, his other abilities had leveled up as well.
Furthermore, as a reward for the 20-kill milestone, he had received an Ability Advancement Scroll.
This was the first time Liu Yang had obtained an advancement scroll.
He carefully examined its description.
"Ability Advancement Scroll: Use this scroll to advance and evolve one of your abilities into a far more powerful form!"
Liu Yang hesitated.
The levels of his current abilities were already exceptionally high.
Future Deduction could predict six hours into the future ten times a day. Given Liu Yang's current strength, he rarely even needed to use it.
Virus Immunity could protect against up to Level 6 zombie viruses. Currently, Level 6 zombies hadn't even appeared yet.
Even if a Level 6 zombie showed up, with only 12 times normal human attributes, it wouldn't even be able to graze his clothes, making the passive skill feel redundant.
Ice Control was Level 8, granting him infinite ice needles and the freedom to construct any frozen structure.
With a single thought, he could freeze an entire residential area, turning everything inside into ice sculptures. The ability already felt overwhelmingly powerful.
Zombie Control had the lowest level, but currently the highest-level wild zombie was only Level 3, while he could already control Level 5 zombies up to a count of five. It simply had nowhere to be used...
Dark Space was Level 8, its dimensions expanding to 80 x 80 x 80 = 512,000 cubic meters. He couldn't fill it-he simply couldn't fill it all!
Liu Yang really wanted to stuff his Dark Space to the brim, but his scavenging speed couldn't keep up with his spatial expansion speed. It felt like hitting a mid-life crisis early-the spirit was willing, but the physical reality was lacking...
Troublesome, truly troublesome.
Liu Yang couldn't help sighing to himself.
Being invincible came with its own set of headaches...
Which ability should he advance?
Ultimately, Liu Yang shook his head.
Forget it.
He would hold onto the advancement scroll for now.
What if he unlocked a new ability in the future?
By then, there might be a power he wanted to evolve even more.
Besides, this scroll was a reward for a 20-kill streak, making it extremely rare. Obtaining another one in the future would likely be difficult.
Afterward, Liu Yang left the neighboring villa and returned home.
By now, He Yushi, Su Xiao, Chen Dan, and the others had prepared lunch and were waiting for him to eat.
The moment they saw Liu Yang walk in, bright smiles lit up everyone's faces.
At least Liu Yang still remembered to come home and hadn't been completely stolen away by those little vixens in the neighboring villa!
