CHAPTER 211: CHAPTER 211: ESTABLISHING A SAFE HAVEN

The next morning, Ye Chen and the others had already gathered at the door.

Numerous Star Alliance members, along with thousands of ordinary people and over a thousand youths.

As far as the eye could see, it was a vast, bustling crowd.

Zhu Qiang came to the door and exclaimed, "My goodness, so many people."

Huo Yu said, "This is just a small number, more people are hiding. The places they’re hiding, there’s nothing they can’t do."

Soon, dozens of Pet Tamers arrived, driving buses.

They were repaired overnight, each could seat fifty people, and there were more than eighty in total.

Everyone boarded the buses in turn, heading toward Future City.

Last night, at the people’s suggestion, Future City was renamed to Star Mansion.

Ye Chen and Huo Yu, along with thirteen others, sat in one bus at the front, with dozens of ordinary people inside as well.

They seemed a bit restrained and nervous, possibly because they were sitting with the higher-ups of the Star Alliance.

In the vehicles behind, everyone had smiles of joy on their faces.

Each person was cheerful, their faces beaming with happiness.

At that moment, they were relaxed and joyful.

An old man couldn’t help but sing loudly: "The sunset on the western mountain is red, the soldiers return from target practice..."

With one person leading, the others also joined in singing.

For a while, the entire bus was lively and bustling.

At eleven o’clock in the afternoon, the buses stopped in front of Star Mansion.

Fortunately, the gate was intact.

However, it was somewhat dilapidated inside, with trash everywhere and overgrown weeds from long-term neglect.

Some newly planted green plants and tall trees were uprooted by monsters.

The entire community was in a mess.

This neighborhood consisted of twenty-seven buildings, each twenty-seven stories high, arranged with three elevators and six units per floor.

To accommodate these people, just a few buildings were sufficient.

Although the community was messy, fortunately, the buildings were not severely damaged.

Zhang Haonan and four others had already compiled the list last night, and under their instructions, everyone got to work enthusiastically.

The females were responsible for cleaning, and the males were responsible for tidying the buildings.

Not only ordinary people were cleaning, but the youths and Pet Tamers joined in the labor as well.

Moreover, hundreds of pets were helping, making the process much faster.

Large ones were responsible for carrying garbage and clearing trees.

Those that could fly would take people to higher floors to clean.

With the addition of pets, there was no need for construction tools or machinery.

Ye Chen picked out those with factory experience from the crowd to check nearby factories and see if they could move the facilities to the community.

The surrounding fields were ready-made, so there was no need to worry.

With the power of the many, the neighborhood was cleared by five o’clock in the afternoon.

Ten buildings were also repaired.

There wasn’t much to repair, just checking for dangers and making minor adjustments where necessary.

The electricity issue wasn’t a concern; Ye Chen purchased several power storage devices from the Points Mall.

With the support of the Thunder Shocking Blade and Thunder Attribute pets, there was no need to worry about electricity.

Some household items, like these power storage devices, only cost ten points in the Points Mall.

Everyone sat together resting and chatting.

Even though they’d been busy all day, no one felt tired. On the contrary, they were all very happy and full of energy.

The upcoming matters didn’t require Ye Chen’s intervention; they could handle everything themselves.

The property building was also cleaned up to serve as a temporary meeting room for the Star Alliance.

Everyone also found their respective rooms to rest.

In the meeting room, core members of the Star Alliance sat together discussing various matters.

Yu Nian, who had been living in the countryside for years, spoke with rich experience, "Now that the living issue is solved, the next problem is food, which is actually easy to solve. For now, tomorrow, we’ll go to nearby villages, communities, and the city to search residential areas and supermarkets to bring back useful items.

I believe what we collect will be enough for us, so there’s no need to worry about clothes or anything else. The surrounding fields should be utilized soon. Tomorrow, we can set up a breeding farm. There must be surviving poultry like chickens and ducks in the nearby villages that can be gradually raised, eventually achieving self-sufficiency. To the west of Qing County is a great mountain, and some wild animals in the mountains can also be raised."

What Yu Nian said was very practical and made a lot of sense, and following his suggestions posed almost no issues.

Ye Chen said, "Tomorrow, take people to do this, with teams of fifty and five Pet Tamers each. The monsters outside aren’t too strong yet, so we can handle them. I think the urgent task now is to build defensive facilities. Monsters above LV20 will arrive soon, and I’m afraid we’ll fail if not prepared, so we must expedite the construction of defensive facilities."

At this moment, Zhang Yuzhen spoke up, "Alliance Leader Ye, there’s another problem. We currently have too few Pet Tamers, so I think we should recruit more. Otherwise, we can’t withstand the monsters’ attacks."

Others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Indeed, the Star Alliance currently has too few Pet Tamers, only about three hundred, and their strength is average.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I understand this, spread the word to recruit scattered team members, and see if they’re willing to join the alliance."

"Okay!"

After the meeting, everyone returned to rest.

Ye Chen and the five were still together, with a room already prepared for them.

Upon returning to the room, the five sat together discussing something.

"Brother Chen, we finally have our footing now, no longer wandering around, homeless," Zhu Qiang said, leaning on the sofa.

Lin Nuoyi said, "Yes, looking back at the old days, living off others wasn’t very comfortable."

Silent Iron Bull also spoke up, "We used to wander aimlessly, worrying about everything. Now, it’s better, and we don’t have to think so much."

Each of the five had their own realizations, quietly lying on the sofa.

Ye Chen still had one thing on his mind, which was to eliminate Zhang Yun, as long as Zhang Yun existed, he would be a threat.

But the Star Alliance was newly established; nothing was functioning normally yet, and he couldn’t afford any mishaps.

After a while, they each returned to their rooms to rest.

Ye Chen took out all the Experience Capsules.

A total of 163,000 Experience Capsules, Ye Chen calculated.

To raise Blood Asura to LV20, 163,000 Experience Capsules, with about 90,000 left afterward.

These 90,000 Experience Values could raise either the Pill Master or Dark Princess to LV15.

After reaching LV15, they would undergo a transformation, much better than splitting the Experience Values between two people.

After considering, Ye Chen decided to raise Dark Princess to LV15, after all, in terms of Combat Power, she was the strongest trump card.
