Chapter 70: Building the Outer City Wall

Alex couldn't help but burst into laughter when he remembered the expression on Jing Mi's husband's face from the night before. After putting Jing Mi into the armored vehicle, Alex made a trip to the western district to gather the surviving women there, loading them onto the vehicle.

Among these women, most were the wives and daughters of the Taizi Gang members, and one of them was Ma Chenbin's mother.

However, what surprised Alex the most was that he managed to rescue a foreign woman. She was Ma Gang's woman and worked as a foreign language teacher in the best high school in Jiangcheng. She was also Ma Beili's mother. Although in her thirties, she still retained her charm.

Dressed in a teacher's uniform, her figure was stunningly voluptuous, with her white blouse seeming like it was about to burst at any moment. After being saved by Alex and brought onto the armored vehicle, she repeatedly expressed her gratitude in somewhat awkward Chinese. With this addition, the vehicle was now carrying over thirty people, all squeezed together, reaching its full capacity. This trip had been highly rewarding for Alex, not only in terms of rescuing a diverse group of women but also in acquiring a significant amount of weapons and ammunition.

Alex planned to first take this group back to the City of Darkness. After establishing the outer walls of the City, he intended to return to Lily New Town to find those doctors and the vehicle modification experts. Once back at the City of Darkness, Alex handed over the newly rescued people to Li Wan'ning and others for training.

Only then did he have time to sit down and contemplate the next steps for the development of the City of Darkness.

"System! Display my attributes."

[City of Darkness (Intermediate) City Lord Name: Alex]

[Gender: Male]

[Physique: 100]

[Spirit: 70]

[Strength: 100]

[Endurance: 100]

[Agility: 100]

(Average value for an adult human male is 60)

[Skills: None]

[Items: Blade of Sin (Intermediate), Space Bag (Basic)]

[Materials: Bio-Claws*8, Bio-Whiskers*7.]

[Apocalypse Coins: 760]

Alex looked at his physical attributes, noting that all his stats had reached the peak of human capacity, except for his spirit, which was still at 70. Burying Class C zombies no longer satisfied the requirements for leveling up. Now, Alex needed to find Class B or higher zombies to continue increasing his attribute values.

Regarding Class B zombies, Alex had no information at present. At least in this area, he had not encountered any zombies of Class B level. However, since the system included this category of zombies, Alex was convinced that they must exist, perhaps being rare or newly evolved and not yet widespread.

"I already have 760 apocalypse coins!" Alex glanced at the apocalypse coin count. This amount was sufficient to build an outer city outside the main city. Alex walked to an open space near the burial site and commanded the system, "System, build a corpse storage room."

With the increase in population within the City of Darkness, leaving corpses scattered around was no longer suitable. Additionally, considering the human bodies in his spatial bag, Alex decided to first construct a corpse storage room.

[Corpse Storage Room: Occupies 20 square meters. Function: A room for storing corpses, where bodies kept will not rot or mutate. Price: 50 apocalypse coins.]

[Corpse Storage Room selected, building conditions met.]

[Consuming 50 apocalypse coins...]

[Construction in progress...]

[Construction completed!]

With the electronic synthesized voice's announcement, a two-story corpse storage room occupying 20 square meters appeared before Alex. The entrance of the storage room emitted a faint cold light, with wisps of white cold air faintly visible.

Alex stepped into the corpse storage room, and the temperature around him instantly dropped to zero degrees.

The corpse storage room resembled an ice cellar. "I could also store some perishable food here, but storing it with the corpses..."

Alex pondered with a bit of distraction. After dumping the corpses in the storage room, he instructed Myra and her team to strip the weapons and equipment from the human bodies they had retrieved.

Having completed these tasks, Alex proceeded to construct two more graves in the same manner as before, upgrading these along with the two remaining level 1 graves to level 2. With his current stockpile of Class C zombies, Alex could easily upgrade all to level 2 graves. At the intermediate level, City of Darkness could have six graves.

With six level 2 graves, the production of apocalypse coins would see a significant increase.

After finishing the basic construction work, Alex checked the apocalypse coin count again. After the recent expenditures, he was left with 470 coins. This meant that, with the current amount of apocalypse coins, Alex could only build an outer city wall covering 470 square meters.

Alex climbed up the city wall and surveyed the surroundings. The nearby female dormitory, covering an area of about 300 square meters, and adding the passageway, amounted to roughly 400 square meters.

"System! Build the outer city wall!" Suddenly, Alex's view changed to a green screen composed of one-square-meter grids. He selected the female dormitory with his mind and then chose a pathway leading to the main gate of City of Darkness. He clicked on the [Confirm]

button.

[Outer city wall construction successful, conditions met.]

[Consuming 456 apocalypse coins...]

[Construction in progress...]

As the electronic synthesized voice sounded, a loud rumbling noise began to emanate from outside the City of Darkness. Walls rose from the ground, swiftly forming a barrier around the female dormitory.

This wall was similar to the initial walls of City of Darkness. Although not extremely sturdy, it was sufficient to defend against ordinary zombies. Once the gates of City of Darkness were opened, one could directly reach the female dormitory through the passageway within the

walls.

Alex glanced over the structure and felt quite satisfied with the outer city. The female dormitory, covering over 300 square meters and five stories high, had existing dorm rooms and various living essentials. This included toilets, bathrooms, beds, and all sorts of electrical

appliances.

Once he moved the solar power modules and water purification equipment from Lily New Town, all the facilities here would be operational.

"A perfect post-apocalyptic harem," Alex thought with a slight smile, quite pleased with himself. This post-apocalyptic harem would belong to him alone. He would be the emperor

of this domain!

However, the outer city walls were not yet habitable. Although the walls were erected, there were still some zombies inside, including in the female dormitory, where some rooms harbored locked-up zombies. These zombies needed to be cleared out and the area confirmed as safe before the ordinary women of City of Darkness could move in. This task, Alex did not plan to do himself.
