163: Camp construction

Although An Qian’s ultimate skill consumed a tremendous amount of energy, its power was equally immense.

Qin Shi roughly counted, and she had killed at least nearly two thousand zombies.

Once Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix was unleashed, regardless of whether they were ordinary Mutated Zombies or powerful Mutated Zombies, they all turned to ash, dead beyond dead.

Kong Qingshu, seeing An Qian go all out for the first time, was also stunned and nearly injured by a zombie.

The Panshi Battle Group members who witnessed this scene also marveled at their leader’s wife’s formidable strength.

Another half an hour later.

All the attacking zombies were killed.

“Count the casualties and send people to clear the battlefield,” Qin Shi instructed Zhang Qiang.

“Alright.”

Not long after, Zhang Qiang came to report, “One seriously injured, ten lightly injured, and two sacrificed. The harvest is still unknown.”

“Transport the bodies of the sacrificed back for burial and ensure proper compensation,” Qin Shi ordered.

Although there were casualties, facing seventy to eighty thousand zombies and only losing two people was considered a huge victory.

Other battle groups might suffer sacrifices just going out to kill zombies once.

After clearing the battlefield, everyone returned to Jingcui Garden.

Zhang Xiaoli had also finished clearing her battlefield earlier.

Next was the distribution of rewards and spoils.

“Leader, all the attacking zombies have been eliminated. I’d like to go back first and come over again tomorrow,” Kong Qingshu said as she walked up to Qin Shi.

“Alright, if you need anything, just let me know.”

If she truly considered herself a member of the Panshi Battle Group, Qin Shi wouldn’t mind helping her.

“Mm.” Kong Qingshu replied with a single word and turned to leave in a hurry.

“I can’t believe even the army has had a rebellion,” Zhang Xiaoli sighed.

“I hope our Panshi Battle Group won’t have such messed-up things happen,” An Qian interjected.

“Whoever dares to betray the Panshi Battle Group will be killed without mercy!” Qin Shi said, his face filled with killing intent.

“Qin Ge, don’t have such strong killing intent. Our Panshi Battle Group definitely won’t have such things happen.”

Zhang Xiaoli reached out and held Qin Shi’s right hand, speaking softly.

“Alright, let’s not talk about these depressing things. Let’s discuss the construction of our camp,” Qin Shi said with a smile, putting away his killing intent.

Zhang Cheng, the head of the Internal Affairs Hall, took over the conversation, saying, “We’ve always had plenty of food, but water and electricity are relatively scarce.”

The camp’s electricity supply relied solely on generators searched for in various places.

However, generators were limited, and the fuel for power generation was also not abundant, so the camp only supplied electricity in shifts and to specific areas.

As for drinking water, it was sustained by various bottled waters, and it was also becoming scarce.

“It was fine when we were closer to Chi Yuan River, as we could draw water from it for bathing and washing clothes. Now, everyone has no water to wash, making them smell terrible,” Zhang Cheng explained.

After hearing him speak, Qin Shi took out a pure water purification machine.

Pure Water Purification Machine (Green): Produces one cubic meter of pure water per hour, consuming one first-level crystal.

[Do you want to refresh the entry?]

[Refresh.]

Energy Saving (Blue): Halves energy consumption.

Nutritional (Green): Water produced by this machine is rich in various minerals; regular consumption is healthier for the body.

High Speed (Red): Increases pure water production speed tenfold, with no change in consumption.

Qin Shi chose the High Speed entry.

Producing ten cubic meters of water per hour meant two hundred and forty cubic meters per day.

This was completely sufficient for the entire camp’s drinking needs, and even allowed for occasional baths.

Qin Shi gave this pure water purification machine to Zhang Cheng to find a place to install it.

Then he went to the attic of the house and found another pure water purification machine that was currently in use.

After refreshing, a fixed Purification entry appeared.

Purification (Green): When the machine is placed in water, it can rapidly purify impurities in the water.

Qin Shi had a flash of inspiration and had He Kaige place this machine, which had become a purification machine, into a swimming pool in Jingcui Garden, so everyone could bathe there later.

With the purification machine present, the swimming pool water should allow everyone in the Panshi Battle Group to have a good bath.

In fact, Qin Shi also had a purple item that could solve everyone’s water problem, but he was a bit reluctant to use it.

Primary Spirit Spring Eye (Purple): When buried in the ground, it continuously produces spring water rich in spiritual energy. Watering plants with this spring water can promote plant growth, and regular consumption of this spring water can strengthen the body and improve physical fitness.

This was one of the purple items that An Qian had obtained from opening tens of thousands of treasure chests last time.

He planned to place this Spirit Spring Eye in his small space.

At that time, he would build some bamboo or wooden houses in the small space, plant some vegetables and grains, and become a leisurely small farm owner.

Whenever Qin Shi thought of this life, his heart felt sweet.

Crucially, the small space was also safe, and he might even be able to create a food base there.

However, the exit of the small space hadn't been set up on the Jingcui Garden side yet, so this matter was not urgent for now.

And once the Spirit Spring Eye was placed, it could not be moved again, so Qin Shi couldn't just find a temporary place to utilize the Spirit Spring for a while.

[Do you want to refresh the entry?]

[Refresh.]

Hot Spring (Blue): The water produced by the Spirit Spring has a constant temperature of forty degrees Celsius, making it very suitable for soaking baths; washing makes one healthier.

Suspension (Blue): Just as the Yellow River water comes from the heavens, this Spirit Spring can also be placed in mid-air, making it feel more miraculous.

Upgrade (Purple): Upgrades the Primary Spirit Spring Eye to a Mid-level Spirit Spring Eye, increasing both water output and the quality of the spiritual water by one rank.

Qin Shi’s eyes lit up; he had actually refreshed a purple entry.

He had been refreshing this Spirit Spring for the past few days, but he hadn't gotten any good entries.

After choosing to fix the Upgrade entry, he took out another purple item.

City Guardian Monument (Purple): After being buried in the ground, it forms a City Guardian Wall with a side length of twenty kilometers, centered around the monument. The city wall is twenty meters high and ten meters wide.

[Do you want to refresh the entry?]

[Refresh.]

Sturdy (Green): The wall of the city wall becomes sturdier.

Moat (Green): A ten-meter-wide Moat will form around the City Guardian Wall.

At Will (Purple): The position of the City Guardian Monument can be changed at any time, and the size of the City Guardian Wall can be controlled at will.

Qin Shi was delighted; today was truly a good day, as another very practical entry had appeared.

Originally, once the City Guardian Monument was buried, its position could not be changed, but now it could be changed at will.

And its size could also be altered.

If this entry had been refreshed yesterday, defending against the attacking zombies would have been much easier.

After Qin Shi fixed this entry, he buried the City Guardian Monument in a spot in Jingcui Garden.

Immediately, a phantom map centered on Jingcui Garden appeared before Qin Shi’s eyes. This map encompassed a twenty-kilometer square area, indicating that Qin Shi could make the City Guardian Wall appear anywhere within this area.

With a wave of Qin Shi’s hand, four city walls slowly rose around the area.
