Clones could change their appearance and physique, while the nano-armor could alter its exterior according to needs.
In an instant, a group of survivors of various descriptions appeared behind Zhang Chen.
However, the majority were female characters, with only a few male roles.
Since their appearances could be changed at will, what they looked like now was of no consequence.
For ease of operation, Zhang Chen numbered these one hundred clones.
They were simply numbered from 1 to 100.
This would make commanding battles or assigning tasks much simpler in the future.
Zhang Chen knew his naming skills were lacking. If the Spider Queen hadn't mentioned her name was Mo Ran in her diary, Zhang Chen would have probably just called her Little Black when she hatched.
Little White, Little Black, Fatty Two...
This was the extent of Zhang Chen's naming prowess.
Asking him to name a hundred people would be a death sentence.
Simply numbering them 1 to 100 was straightforward and clear!
Zhang Wenwen received the keys and immediately began assigning her followers to corresponding buildings.
In fact, if Zhang Chen had examined each key individually, he would have been able to distinguish which key opened which building.
But he didn't do that.
Zhang Wenwen had over three thousand followers.
Since they were idle, it was better to get them moving.
He would have his lunch and aim to reach the second walled city before nightfall.
Zhang Wenwen mobilized the congregation, and within a mere ten minutes, over a dozen buildings were unlocked, showing significant progress.
Out of devotion to their true god, the followers turned over all the collected supplies to Zhang Wenwen.
Daily necessities, energy pulse weapons, bedsheets, tents, sleeping bags, as well as various food and water.
Zhang Wenwen looked at these items expressionlessly.
Nothing particularly good.
Since the True God had bestowed these supplies upon her, shouldn't she offer something good in return to the True God?
She had sent a batch of beauties before, but Zhang Chen hadn't seemed to care much.
Moreover, now that Zhang Chen had a hundred beauties who could transform into any appearance, he probably wouldn't lack for women.
What should she contribute?
Zhang Wenwen walked past the collected supplies, examining them.
Finally, she selected several dozen bags of frozen seafood, frozen meats, and aged white and red wines before walking towards Zhang Chen with satisfaction.
While these items were not in large quantities,
They were undoubtedly the top-tier ingredients in the current apocalypse.
Canned meat had always been the prize offered by various camps to attract strong individuals and motivate their members to fight bravely.
Even the wealthiest camp leaders couldn't afford to eat canned meat every meal.
Frozen fresh meat was even more unthinkable. Electricity had been out for only a few days since the apocalypse began.
Survivors who could obtain fresh frozen meat were as rare as phoenix feathers, and with daily consumption and the death of holders, this had become a scarce resource with no market price.
Frozen seafood was even rarer than frozen fresh meat. Most survivors had almost forgotten the taste of seafood.
The mutated shellfish Zhang Chen had killed last time were mostly bought out by him.
Zhang Wenwen's True God Cult, on the third defense line, only killed crabs, so they had no idea that crab meat was edible.
Holding these items, Zhang Wenwen finally felt a sense of confidence.
She leaped lightly, using the wall for leverage, and took a few steps to reach the rooftop.
As soon as she arrived, she smelled a mouth-watering aroma of food.
Zhang Chen, Little White, and Fatty Two were gathered around a barbecue grill, grilling.
The pork belly in the pan sizzled, emitting an enticing fragrance.
A dozen large prawns were arranged around the grill, already cooked.
Little White was stuffing a large piece of wagyu beef into his mouth.
Even Fatty Two was uncharacteristically eating grilled meat.
A fruit platter held sweet and delicious crispy fruits.
Was this... a barbecue?
Zhang Wenwen was astonished.
"Well, just a casual meal!
Wenwen, yours is perfect, sit down and join us!"
Zhang Chen invited with a smile.
"Just a casual meal?"
Zhang Wenwen's jaw nearly dropped.
Even on festive occasions, ordinary camps might not be able to enjoy such a lavish barbecue!
And what was the deal with Fatty Two next to him? He was actually eating slices of grilled wagyu beef?!
This was too extravagant! It was like a god-tier tycoon in the apocalypse!
"I... I won't. I have some food to offer the True God, I hope the True God won't mind..."
This was the pre-prepared line Zhang Wenwen had intended to use.
In fact, it was just a polite remark.
But seeing Zhang Chen's meal, the words became incredibly sincere.
She truly hoped Zhang Chen wouldn't mind this little bit of food.
He was eating fresh meat and fruits!
The items she brought were not even comparable to Zhang Chen's daily ingredients, and there was nothing to boast about.
"Thank you, I'll accept them!
Take this plate of crispy fruits and eat them!
I have plenty more, so you can come to me anytime you want to eat them!
These were picked and stored in the ring right after harvesting, so they are very fresh. Eat them quickly, as they won't stay crispy if kept for too long!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
There were indeed quite a few crispy fruits left. Last time, Zheng Hao's Revival Camp had planted about ten tons for Zhang Chen, which would last him for a while.
"Alright... Thank you for the True God's grace..."
Zhang Wenwen took out a crispy fruit and carefully put the rest into her ring.
Taking a bite of the crispy fruit, her pupils dilated instantly!
It was truly crisp, fragrant, and sweet!
The juice flowed slowly between her lips and teeth, stimulating every taste bud... It was so delicious!
It was so delicious that Zhang Wenwen was on the verge of tears.
"Bishop, what is this? Is it delicious?"
Several young children gathered around Zhang Wenwen, wiping their mouths and asking curiously.
"This is a crispy fruit, a type of fruit. I saw it at the True God Cult leader's place last time, and this is the first time I'm eating it!"
Zhang Wenwen said with a smile.
Seeing the pitiful looks in the children's eyes, she took out the remaining few crispy fruits from her ring and distributed them to the children.
"Take them and eat them. This is a reward from the True God. I hope that when you grow up, you will also become the True God's most devout servants, just like me!
"Thank you, Sister Bishop!"
"We will fight to the end for the True God Cult!"
"When I grow up, I want to be like my sister and be able to communicate with God..."
The children, eating the crispy fruits, happily ran off.
"I didn't expect... you to be so kind!"
Xiao Guanghan had just returned after lunch and saw the scene before him.
"I've said it before, the True God Cult has always been clear about love and hate. For those who love us, and who have firm faith in the True God, we will provide the greatest help and protection!
But for heretics, and even for those who harbor hostility towards the True God Cult, we will not hesitate to unleash our wrath!
These two things are not contradictory!"
Zhang Wenwen said with a smile.
Due to the increased food intake, lunch had lasted a bit longer.
Zhang Chen left the 100th clone to assist Zhang Wenwen in clearing the battlefield.
All the advanced infected had retreated to the side, acting as a surprise force under the command of number 100.
They could cooperate with Zhang Wenwen in future battles, jointly defending against mutant creature invasions.
The remaining survivors who had been infected into zombies were systematically killed and collected by Zhang Wenwen and her team.
After picking and choosing for a long time.
Zhang Chen accepted the [Minor Luck Card] * 2, [Survivor Detector] * 1, [Rare · Armored Troop Transport Blueprint], [Talent Crystal Detector] * 1, [Complete Technology Blueprint 27] * 1, [Complete Technology Blueprint 11] * 1, [Uncommon · Progressive Faction Weapon Depot], and [Storage Ring Fragment] * 9000.
Zhang Chen only accepted a portion of the storage fragments. The remaining storage ring fragments, weapons, equipment, supplies, and energy cores were all given to Zhang Wenwen and the True God Cult.
The number of survivors who had advanced to the Transformed stage was not large, so the quantity of energy cores within them was average, nowhere as satisfying as during the insect swarm.
Ding! The storage ring meets the upgrade conditions, do you wish to upgrade immediately?
