After a battle that swept through like wind and clouds.
The survivors began to clear the battlefield.
They were already accustomed to teammates falling in every fierce battle.
They silently mourned their fallen comrades for half a minute, then immediately collected and salvaged.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, survivors are also consumables in this world.
No matter how many people crossed over initially, their numbers would only decrease over time.
Unless humanity could truly establish a firm foothold in the apocalypse and thrive, they would ultimately face the fate of extinction.
Many had gradually realized this problem, but the estrangement between people, mutual distrust, and the darker aspects of human nature made it difficult for most survivors to accept each other quickly.
Like today, survivors from different countries and camps united to form a defense line.
They cooperated to repel the monster attacks.
This was definitely an extremely rare and large-scale joint battle since the apocalypse.
Zhang Chen took stock of the supplies, including those from monsters killed by Xiaobai and Er Pang.
A total of 235 mutated giant crabs were killed, each yielding 20 [Energy Gathering Crystal Cores], 72 mutated shellfish, each yielding 15 [Energy Gathering Crystal Cores]. Together, this amounted to [Energy Gathering Crystal Cores] * 5780, [Delicious Crab Roe] * 2100, [Sturdy Carapace] * 4800, [Poisonous Crab Meat] * 6125, [Hallucinogenic Shellfish Meat] * 72, [Prime Shellfish Meat] * 12, [Blue Seaweed] * 22...
[Brilliant Pearl] * 3, [Evolutionary Gene Fragments] * 10, [Rare Blueprint]
Several team members nearby also looked at Zhang Chen with awe, chiming in with their words.
Although Zhang Chen had publicly killed the Six-Legged Monster Queen and directly burned the Honeyvine Flower.
Those things, though powerful, were still within the scope of survivors' understanding.
But this time, any single crab was enough to keep the survivors busy for half a day.
As a result, Zhang Chen entered the crab swarm alone, cutting them down like vegetables, as if no one was there.
This vast disparity in strength made people involuntarily generate respect for the strong from the bottom of their hearts.
I've done business with the Bear Country people before. They are straightforward and like two types of people: those who can drink well and those who are powerful!
I think Brother Chen has probably become the spiritual leader of those Bear Country people!
Especially that red-haired girl, she's been glancing your way since just now!
Han Shuang said with a grin.
Zhang Chen followed Han Shuang's gaze.
Indeed, he saw Katerina looking at him with complex emotions.
As their gazes met, she showed no intention of backing down; in fact, she seemed to be about to walk over.
Hiss...
Are Bear Country girls really that bold?
Dad, Dad, so many people are telling me that my dad is a great hero!
Xiaobai rushed over and threw himself into Zhang Chen's arms, saying proudly.
Uh... I'm not exactly a great hero; I just did what I should have done!
If there are monsters, shouldn't I fight them?
Zhang Chen said truthfully.
Brother Chen, that's too humble. If you hadn't been here for this battle, I'm afraid we would have suffered even more casualties!
It can be said that you turned the tide, reversed the situation, and led us to victory!
With that alone, aren't you worthy of the title of a mere hero!?
Han Shuang said seriously.
He spoke his mind without any flattery.
Moreover, Zhang Chen's strength made any flattery unnecessary.
Zhang Chen smiled noncommittally and changed the subject, asking:
We can't go out to sea today, can we?
Han Shuang looked at the sky; the sun was beginning to set in the west, and the tide was gradually receding.
Yeah, we can't leave today. Let's set off early tomorrow morning!
With Brother Chen here, our confidence in crossing the sea has increased a lot!
Okay, I got it! Zhang Chen pulled Xiaobai and Er Pang and placed the villa on the cliff, moving in.
At the same time, on the coastal road, at the third defense line.
A girl stood on the roof of a four-story building, looking at the villa on the cliff with admiration.
Then, quickly, she drew a magnificent, grand house with a classical Chinese style in her notebook, combining the villa with some of her own imagination.
She wrote below: The Residence of God.
On this page, it was written:
Year 1 of the Godly Era, February 3rd, Zhong'an City.
Under the leadership of the True God, survivors of different races and skin colors united, responding to the God's call, and jointly repelled the massive invasion of marine life.
Since crossing over to the apocalypse, this was humanity's first unprecedented united battle.
