Returning to the world of the apocalypse, sunlight streamed through the not-so-clean window into the room.
Without the pollution in the air, even though the glass window hadn't been wiped clean in a long time, the sunlight outside still appeared very dazzling.
At this moment, the veterinarian downstairs had also moved out of this building, and the entire building felt exceptionally quiet.
Lu Heng went to check Lin Yu's room. Their houses generally did not have locks, with only fingerprint unlocking devices installed at the main entrance of the building.
As expected, Lin Yu was not there. At this time, he would usually be busy in the city, and he needed to participate in decisions regarding many affairs in Wuming City.
Opening the main door of the building, Lu Heng walked out. The apocalypse had now welcomed another spring, the season of all things reviving.
However, based on his past life's experience, this was also one of the most active seasons for zombies. Except for winter, when zombies would gather in a certain place due to the cold weather and not actively attack humans, other seasons were also good hunting seasons for them.
After just surviving the first winter after the apocalypse, those zombies had already launched a large-scale, organized attack on human survivor settlements. For a period of time afterward, as the zombies' levels increased, their organized attacks on humans would become more frequent.
"City Lord Lu."
Walking in the inner city, many soldiers would politely stop and salute Lu Heng when they saw him.
Since Wuming City no longer accepted outside survivors and ability users, the lowest combat-ready ability users in the city had been upgraded to the sixth tier. Currently, there were almost no casualties when fighting zombies outside the city.
The existing management and city defense personnel responsible for maintaining order within Wuming City were mostly active or retired military and police personnel from before the apocalypse, ensuring a high quality of population.
As for the other personnel in the city, after experiencing the ruthless baptism of the apocalypse and being accepted by Wuming City, they were gradually attracted by the guaranteed life within Wuming City. Even if they had some extreme thoughts at the beginning of the apocalypse, after a period of life and education in Wuming City, their thoughts gradually changed.
Everyone wanted to survive in the harsh environment of the apocalypse. Wuming City not only provided them with material support during the most difficult times but also helped all humans who could evolve to improve their ability levels.
It was likely that at this time, there was no survivor base in any region of the world that could be as harmonious and orderly as Wuming City.
He walked all the way to the command post and, seeing the soldiers going in and out, Lu Heng stepped inside.
"Greetings, City Lord Lu!"
"En, where is Lin Yu?"
"City Lord Lin is in the conference room on the second floor." The soldier saluted Lu Heng, his eyes filled with admiration.
It was no wonder. At this moment, all personnel in Wuming City felt grateful to Lu Heng. Without Lu Heng, Wuming City would not be what it is today, nor would they have had the chance to survive the apocalypse.
"City Lord Lu!" The soldier guarding the conference room on the second floor also saluted when he saw Lu Heng.
"It's nothing, I just came to take a look."
Lu Heng pushed open the conference room door. Lin Yu inside had already heard the soldiers outside and was now getting up, walking around the conference table towards the door.
"Brother Lu."
"En, you continue. I'll listen." Lu Heng walked to an empty side seat and sat down, gesturing for Lin Yu to continue.
Seeing that Lu Heng had no intention of participating, Lin Yu first returned to his seat and signaled for the people below to continue their previous topic.
"In the past half month, our encirclement operations outside the city have almost eliminated all zombies. Of course, this is not absolute; there are still zombies that will wander here."
A management staff member said seriously, pointing a laser pen at a large projected map on the wall.
"As for the encirclement of zombies in other areas, we have also made detailed plans. We will still follow the original principle, first focusing our main efforts on clearing zombies in these areas centered around the original country's territory, helping the relatively backward survivor bases in these areas to alleviate the surrounding pressure, and appropriately improving the levels of survivors in these bases. Of course, there are still requirements for those whose levels we help improve. The main focus is still on military and police personnel, who have at least guaranteed quality and will not cause uncontrollable situations after their levels are improved."
"En, that's true. However, we cannot neglect the situation abroad either. After all, before the apocalypse, our original national system did not allow citizens to possess firearms, which has brought many obstacles to the people on this continent. In the early stages of development, we were not as fast as foreign ability users. We must also constantly guard against the infiltration of foreign forces into the personnel on the original land." Lin Yu added his views after the person finished speaking.
"Indeed, in the apocalypse, those who can survive to this day, besides us who have strong combat abilities and have received professional training, are also some people who usually love sports and have higher physical fitness. However, there are also some who are originally from society. They have no moral bottom line, and for the surviving humans, they are like those zombies after the apocalypse has arrived." Another person nodded and expressed their understanding.
"The sweeping of zombies outside will still be based on Old Wang's plan. However, we cannot stretch the front line too long at once. The most important thing is to help the people there alleviate the pressure of fighting zombies. Eliminating zombies still depends on the survivors in each area."
"As for gradually eliminating them, or rather, weakening the progress of zombie development, we need to start helping survivors develop. The first thing to develop, of course, is the most important thing: the issue of food."
"This, our city is also carrying out experiments on grain planting and improvement. Now that spring has arrived, the land within the city that meets the planting conditions has begun to plant high-yield varieties such as sweet potatoes and yams."
"En, the planting area does not need to be too large. We are still unclear whether the current soil is suitable for cultivating original grain crops. We also need to speed up the cultivation of new grain varieties."
"Yes."
"..."
After Lu Heng entered, the meeting continued for nearly another hour. Lu Heng listened and felt that they had found their place in the apocalypse and had a good blueprint for eliminating zombies and developing in the future.
Lu Heng looked at these faces full of hope for the future and felt very gratified. Although there would still be many bumps on the road ahead, it was always a good thing for people to have hope for the future.
In the apocalypse, facing zombie attacks and pursuits, food shortages, and lack of medicine, many survivors in various places rarely had the same mental outlook as the people of Wuming City.
