Zhang Chen walked up to the rooftop.
He pulled out all the strange plants growing in the flower pots.
Then he planted five meat potato seeds in several large flower pots.
Then he watered them.
[Meat potato seeds have begun to sprout. They need another 120 days to mature!]
120 days?
That's four months until they mature?
Forget four months, in one month, who knows what this world will become!
Right, I can use [Mutated Fertilizer]!
Didn't this thing say it could accelerate crop maturity?!
Zhang Chen took out a large clump of [Mutated Fertilizer].
Ding! Each crop can only be fertilized once a day. Do you confirm you want to use [Mutated Fertilizer]?
Note: Using [Mutated Fertilizer] can shorten the maturity period of [Meat Potato] by 10 days!
Only ten days shorter?
That seems a bit unsatisfactory!
Zhang Chen frowned.
As it stands, this first thirty-day period is relatively safe.
He should take this opportunity to accumulate more food!
No one knows what will happen after 30 days?!
Therefore, the more the growth period is shortened, the more meat potatoes are produced, and the more food will be accumulated!
Synthesize!
Zhang Chen directly synthesized 10 [Mutated Fertilizer] into 1 [Accelerated Fertilizer]!
[Accelerated Fertilizer] can shorten the growth period of [Meat Potato] by 60 days!
This is acceptable!
Although the total time shortened by [Accelerated Fertilizer] is less than the time shortened by 10 [Mutated Fertilizer].
But time is pressing, so he could only choose [Accelerated Fertilizer]!
Use [Accelerated Fertilizer]!
Ding! Use successful!
The growth of the meat potatoes was like being put under a time-lapse camera.
From rooting, sprouting to growing.
It changed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, five leafy plants, about half a meter tall, appeared in the flower pots.
[Meat Potato still needs 60 days to mature!]
Only half of the [Accelerated Fertilizer] was used. He can still use the rest tomorrow!
Zhang Chen stacked the [Accelerated Fertilizer] by the edge of the flower pot.
He quickly ate breakfast and then left Building No. 8 with Er Pang!
Er Pang obediently followed at Zhang Chen's feet.
Occasionally, it would look around distractedly.
Or walk to a corner on the ground to sniff.
But soon, it would catch up to Zhang Chen's pace.
The man and his pet quickly arrived at the main gate of the community.
At this moment, a scene that made Zhang Chen furious appeared.
A group of four or five survivors were killing the zombies that Zhang Chen had lured yesterday, from outside the community's main gate!
The woman in the tree was rescued and had her hands tied to a lamppost.
Like a prisoner.
These survivors had mismatched weapons, some holding baseball bats, some holding fruit knives, and some holding cleavers.
They were busy clearing the zombies gathered at the community's main gate!
Protected by the community's railings, the zombies couldn't attack the survivors.
For these survivors, it was simply a huge windfall!
But they never considered who had designed the plan to lure these zombies here...
They were plundering Zhang Chen's spoils!
Hey, what are you doing?!
Zhang Chen roared.
With a swish, he revealed his sharpened Tang knife!
In his other hand, he held up a riot shield.
Er Pang also sensed its master's anger, bared its teeth, and let out a warning low growl.
Huh? Someone?
The group quickly turned around nervously.
When they saw that there was only one person.
With a small dog beside him.
Their sense of vigilance immediately lowered significantly.
What are you doing?
A burly bearded man glanced at the low-cut top woman.
He thought Zhang Chen was after the woman.
He couldn't help but chuckle and said:
I saw this woman first, and now she belongs to me!
If you want her, you can exchange food for her?!
Or... I think your Tang knife is quite nice, you can give it to me to play with!
And this little dog, though it's a bit small, it can satisfy our appetites!
Hahaha!
Hearing the bearded man say this, the other people's eyes also revealed greed.
They chuckled malevolently.
Woman? What woman? I'm talking about the zombies!
Let go of those zombies! They are my property!
Now I'll give you two options!
One, get away from those zombie corpses and get lost immediately, and I won't kill you!
Two, I'll kill all of you, and then go collect the zombies. You choose!
Zhang Chen said slowly.
A killing intent arose!
This time it didn't retreat to the corner, but wagged its tail excitedly at Zhang Chen!
Damn, this kid is quite arrogant!
He's just one person, why is he being so cocky? Does he still think that in this world, it's first come, first served?
Hahaha, I think this kid hasn't figured out the situation yet. There are so many of us, and he's just one person, and he says he'll kill us?!
These zombies are ours because we found them, including this woman!
The henchmen jeered and mocked.
The bearded man also chuckled, then said with a sinister look:
If you had run away immediately, I might not have actively pursued a lone survivor, and you would have had a chance to live!
Now... I've changed my mind. I'll take this Tang knife, this little dog, and the things in your storage space!
As the bearded man spoke, he and his subordinates began to slowly surround Zhang Chen!
Zhang Chen calmly observed their personnel configuration!
Four men and one woman, a cleaver, a baseball bat, two kitchen knives, a fruit knife!
Four men and one woman?!
Huh?
This suddenly reminded Zhang Chen of yesterday in the chat channel.
Someone had said that there was a team of survivors robbing nearby.
The members were four men and two women!
Aren't they that group?!
Or, is there another woman hiding?
Regardless...
A survivor team that can move around freely in the apocalypse.
Is definitely not to be trifled with!
Nowadays, it's either to not offend anyone, and mind your own business!
Since he has offended, he must be eliminated completely!
Sorry, kid, I'm afraid you'll seek revenge, so you'll die here today!
The bearded man stretched his shoulders and took out a cutting board from his storage.
It was modified.
A handle was inlaid on the other side of the cutting board, which could be used as a shield.
The others also took out their respective defenses, such as frying pans and pot lids.
Anything usable was utilized.
The dried bloodstains on the shields indicated that this group had experienced quite a few battles!
This idiot even brought a puppy!
He must have a lot of food, otherwise, how would he feed the puppy?
You guys attack from the front, and I'll catch this puppy!
Dissect this puppy in front of this man, and when he's distracted, you seize the opportunity to kill him!
The tattooed woman continued to offer advice.
Okay, let's do it!
The bearded man grinned widely, with a sinister smile.
This tattooed woman was essentially the brains of the entire team.
On her suggestion, the group had gone the route of robbery from the beginning.
On the first day, they had killed several survivors and successfully looted food.
After tasting the sweetness, they became unstoppable.
Along the way, any survivors or zombies they encountered were not spared, all killed.
The reason they hadn't killed the low-cut top woman was that they discovered she had no bottom line to survive.
Very easy to control!
In the future, she could be used to seduce male survivors and dismantle them from within the team.
Go, you brat, die!
The bearded man roared and charged with three subordinates.
No, there's something wrong!
Zhang Chen's expression stiffened.
