101: Chapter 101 Ranking List

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Chen Ze woke up in a daze and found that Wang Yalan had already left.

There was also an electric fan humming and spinning by the bed.

Without even thinking about it, Wang Yalan must have moved it from somewhere because she was afraid he would be hot.

"This little housewife really knows how to take care of people!"

Chen Ze stretched a big stretch and then got up in a daze.

"I've studied many oaths, the sea runs dry and the stones crumble~!"

Humming a little tune, Chen Ze gulped down several large mouthfuls of D-grade purified water before wobbling his way downstairs.

Just at that moment, the system voice rang out in his mind without any warning.

[Ding! Detected that the number of people in the current region has fallen below 10%. The combat power leaderboard system is now activated!]

[The leaderboard will calculate rankings based on the survivors' Fortress levels, character levels, and comprehensive scores!]

[The leaderboard will be settled every three days, and the top one hundred will receive rich rewards!]

(Note: Subordinated persons cannot participate in this event!)

"Leaderboard? Why is it getting more and more like an online game!"

Chen Ze muttered, opened the system page, and immediately found a new option added.

Regional Leaderboard.

First place: Shanghai Li Yunlong, Fortress level 2, character level 2.

Second place: Jinxiu Longwan Liang Kun, Fortress level 2, character level 2.

Third place: Dong Mingyu, Fortress level 2, character level 2.

Fourth place: Saint Descending Upon the World, Fortress level 2, character level 2.

Fifth place: Zoo Director, Fortress level 3, character level 1.

...

Chen Ze glanced at the leaderboard.

As expected, he steadily ascended to the throne of first place.

As for the second to fourth places, they were all acquaintances, but that Zoo Director really surprised him.

"Logically speaking, the higher the level of the Fortress, the stronger the zombies attacking the city. His character level is only level one, so how did he manage to defend against the zombie attacks?"

Chen Ze was a bit puzzled, but it was just pure curiosity.

Under the apocalyptic world, everyone has secrets. Perhaps other people's Fortress has some special features, which is hard to say.

Without stopping his footsteps, he came to the first-floor lobby.

Except for Duan Linhai's youngest daughter who wasn't there, everyone else gathered here.

"Boss, you're up!"

Duan Linhai was the first to see Chen Ze and stood up to greet him.

"Uncle Chen Ze, did you see that leaderboard? You're in first place!"

Xiaolong was very excited, his small fists clenched tightly, as if he himself were in first place.

Chen Ze stepped forward, patted Xiaolong's shoulder, and spoke with a smile.

"Thanks to everyone working together with one heart, we were able to take first place."

"Are you kidding me? With Brother Ze's strength, it would be strange if he didn't get first place!"

Fatty's words seemed a bit arrogant, but the truth was just like that.

The leaderboard only marked the Fortress level and character level, but it did not show how much the comprehensive combat power specifically was.

Otherwise, Chen Ze and the other ranked individuals would definitely open up a terrifying gap.

"I's just don't know what this damn system is thinking, actually restricting subordinated persons from participating in the rankings. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to get in the top five!"

Fatty said indignantly.

"You brat only think of good things. If that were really the case, the top few places would most likely all be people from the same major force."

Chen Ze shook his head and explained calmly.

"Think about it, with the Blockhouse's ultra-high score, the people here probably wouldn't even need to count character combat power to steadily occupy the top five. What meaning would the leaderboard have then?"

"That's true too! Hehe!"

Fatty only then reacted, scratched his head, and laughed.

"Brother Chen Ze, you're in first place. Can you see what the reward is?"

Li Mengmeng asked.

"I can't see it! But for this kind of region-wide leaderboard, the rewards definitely won't be bad!"

Chen Ze felt that the system created such a leaderboard and directly gave away a full one hundred reward quotas at once.

The purpose must be to help survivors improve their strength, so the rewards would naturally be relatively generous.

After chatting for a while, everyone prepared to eat.

Today's meals were still sumptuous, with six dishes and one soup, three or four of which were attribute foods.

However, Chen Ze had basically already enjoyed the bonuses of the attribute ingredients that could be bought in the Trading House. After a meal, it only added 2 points from the honey and 2 points of all attributes from the Mutated Beast meat.

"Brother Ze, our Mutated Beast meat is gone, and we can't buy it in the Trading House either. Next meal we might only be able to eat ordinary meat!"

Wang Yalan spoke.

Chen Ze nodded.

"Hmm, in the afternoon Fatty and I will go to the forest again!"

Hearing that Chen Ze was going to the forest again, Wang Yalan was obviously somewhat worried.

"Going to the forest again? Wouldn't that be too risky!"

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing!"

As soon as Chen Ze finished speaking, Xingzhe Sun suddenly limped over to him and scratched at his trouser leg with its paws.

Chen Ze then discovered that Xingzhe Sun had already removed the gauze, and all the wounds on its body had scabbed over. The originally ferocious wounds were covered by a layer of shallow, tender scabs, and its recovery speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

"Do you want to go too? Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and going now won't be of much help!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!~"

Xingzhe Sun immediately cried out a few rapid and crisp times, as if strongly refuting.

It quickly stepped back a few steps, pulled open a small distance, and its strong hind legs suddenly exerted force to kick off. Its figure soared lightly into the air, neatly completing a standard backflip.

It was just that when landing, one could still see the shortcoming of its injuries not yet fully healing.

Its hind legs softened slightly, its figure staggered for a moment, and it almost fell to the ground. It grimaced in pain, but stubbornly held back without making a sound.

"You little fellow, still acting tough with me!"

Chen Ze touched the monkey's head and continued speaking.

"I know you want revenge, but now is not the time. Moreover, this time we are not going to the big jujube tree side; what I want to go to is the ants' nest from before!"

"Squeak squeak squeak~!"

"I've been there too, and I know a very large apple forest. I can lead the way!"

"An apple forest?"

Hearing this, Chen Ze instantly felt moved.

He hadn't eaten a mutated apple until now. If he could get this thing, his attributes would definitely increase by another huge chunk!

"Brother Ze, why don't we just take Xingzhe Sun along? Having someone who knows the way is always better than us being completely in the dark!"

Seeing Fatty interceding for it, Xingzhe Sun kicked its legs and directly jumped onto his lap, grinning, and very humanely made a thumbs-up gesture.

That comical expression instantly amused everyone into chuckling.

Chen Ze supported his forehead.

This fellow had been here for two days; it hadn't learned anything good, but instead learned Fatty's shameless attitude completely.

"Alright, since you want to go so much, then you can follow along!"

"Squeak squeak squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!"

Hearing Chen Ze agree, Xingzhe Sun immediately cried out excitedly, its furry body bouncing back and forth on Fatty's lap, its tail whipping back and forth extremely fast.

"But you must remember the rules. Without my command, you cannot run around and must stay by our side at all times. Do you understand?"

Xingzhe Sun immediately nodded frantically. Perhaps because it was too happy, drool streamed down the corner of its mouth.

"Good grief, stop nodding already. If you keep going, we won't even be able to eat the dishes!"
