In the end of the world, I want to be the queen of zombies

With the support of the building-building machines recovered from the base, the construction work on Phoenix Island has entered accelerated mode.

The project, which was originally expected to be completed in eight months, was shortened to two and a half months.

At present, in addition to the City Lord's Mansion and four administrative buildings, the first batch of low-rise residential buildings have also been delivered for use.

According to Xie Zhiyi's plan, each building in the residential area will be 12 stories high, with a total of 10 rooms on each floor.

Each room is a standard 28 square meters in size and comes with a separate bathroom and balcony, as well as an open kitchenette that can only be used with an induction cooker.

Since the area calculated by Xie Zhiyi did not include the crazy common area, the single room of 28 square meters is actually very large.

After placing a single bed, there is still enough space in the room for a coffee table, wardrobe, and desk.

The balcony of each house is a standard 6 square meters, and this area is not included in the total area of ​​the house.

Girls can choose to plant some flowers and plants on the balcony.

You can also choose to grow some vegetables, then put them on the Phoenix City trading system and sell them to other Phoenix City members or survivors in the safe zone to increase your points income.

In the safe zone, under the leadership of Lin Lu, the first batch of factories have basically been put into operation. However, due to the shortage of raw materials, the production scale is not large.

At the clothing factory, Lin Lu added an orange top hat and a pair of long white stockings to Phoenix City's uniforms.

So from then on, the standard uniform of Phoenix City became an orange top hat, beige short-sleeved shirt, red skirt, and white stockings.

In addition, Lin Lu’s black leather shoes plan is also being implemented, but the current production cannot keep up, so it will take some time to replace them in large quantities.

For Lin Lu, this world is a huge dress-up game.

As for Su Li, that is her exclusive action figure.

The 6000 new girls on the island were basically all transformed into new humans under the guidance of other members of Phoenix City.

Most of these girls were incorporated into the city guards, and a small number entered various departments of Phoenix City and became civilian staff.

The reason for this is mainly because Su Li's female classmates have filled up all the administrative departments of Phoenix City.

Therefore, new members can only be arranged as combatants.

However, these girls are not opposed to becoming fighters.

Because of the difficult survival in the base before, they are full of desire for power.

In their understanding, in today's apocalyptic world, only by having enough power can they better protect themselves.

With the addition of new members, the number of people in the entire city defense department expanded directly to nearly 10,000 people.

With such a large number of people, the number of crystal cores consumed every day is an astronomical number, which brings great pressure to Gu Wanjia, the logistics director.

"Shen Su, the number of people on the island is increasing too fast. Our crystal core reserves will soon be exhausted."

"Should we consider stopping accepting new members or stopping the recruitment of city defense personnel?"

"If we don't limit the size of our staff, the logistics will soon be overwhelmed."

After hearing what Gu Wanjia said, Lin Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "Wanjia, in fact, the reason why the crystal cores are consumed so quickly is mainly because the consumption of personnel conversion is relatively large."

"As long as we survive this wave, the subsequent logistical pressure will naturally decrease."

"But you are right about one thing. The size of the city defense department should indeed be controlled."

"Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to support such a large number of combatants."

Su Li thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. The size of the combatants does need to be limited."

"Crystal cores are limited. It is more useful to concentrate resources to cultivate a group of high-level new humans than to cultivate a large number of low-level new humans."

Hearing this, Lin Lu ran to the yard with his short legs and came back with a small potted plant after a while.

"If you're worried about resources, I might be able to solve that problem."

Su Li looked at the potted plant in Lin Lu's hand and found a green plant in it with a few green and red small fruits hanging on the plant.

Lin Lu Lin Lu picked a fruit and said to Su Li, "Come on, sister, open your mouth."

Su Li opened her cherry mouth obediently, and Lin Lu immediately stuffed the fruit into it.

When the fruit entered her mouth, Su Li subconsciously took a bite.

The next moment, a sour feeling that went straight to the top of her head filled Su Li's entire mouth.

"Hiss, so sour!"

Lin Xiyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, "Hmm? Sour?"

Following Lin Xiyue's words, Su Li also reacted.

She just now?

Like tasting it?

But zombies have no sense of taste!

Not sure, try again.

Su Li took another bite of the fruit.

This time it’s confirmed, it’s really sour, extremely sour!

Lin Lu looked at Su Li, who had a painful expression on her face, and her eyes smiled like crescent moons.

"Stupid sister, unripe strawberries are of course sour."

"Feel it carefully, do you feel any energy?"

Upon hearing this, Su Li quickly sensed her body and indeed, she sensed a weak energy within her body.

The magnitude of this energy is probably slightly stronger than a Q1 crystal core.

But Su Li is now close to Q5 level, so this energy is not noticeable.

Su Li said with some surprise, "What is this?"

Lin Lu smiled sweetly and said, "These are the strawberries I planted from seeds that I transformed using my life energy."

"I originally wanted to ripen it completely, but when I was transforming the seeds, I consumed too much energy."

Lin Lu pointed at the green strawberries and said, "So, this is what happened."

Lin Xiyue pointed at the strawberries and said to Lin Lu, "Xiaolu, can I pick one?"

Lin Lu nodded and said, "Of course you can, but these strawberries are not ripe yet, so they are quite sour. Sister Yueyue, please be careful."

Lin Xiyue nodded, picked a green strawberry, put it in her mouth, and took a light bite.

The next moment, strong soluble acid completely exploded in her mouth, instantly putting on a mask of pain for her.

“Really…really…”

“So sour…”

Seeing that Lin Xiyue was so sour that she couldn't speak clearly, Lin Lu couldn't help but cover his mouth with a smile, and took out a bottle of water and handed it to her.

Lin Xiyue took the water, turned it on and rinsed her mouth, then she felt better.

Su Li couldn't help but ask, "This strawberry is not only delicious, but it can also upgrade superpowers."

"Little guy, how on earth did you do that?"

Lin Lu said with some pride, "The reason why this strawberry has flavor is because it is a mutant strawberry."

"The difference between it and ordinary strawberries is that it contains a lot of Q virus."

"And the higher the maturity, the greater the amount of Q virus inside."

"We can replenish our energy by eating it, but if ordinary humans accidentally eat it, even just one bite, they will directly turn into zombies."
