Chapter 251: Server Merge Update
Five days had quickly passed after Darwin visited the estate where Shane used a lot of his Recruitment Stones…
There were a lot of new people in the estate, and it became very lively.
Thankfully, Jake and the others from the Tree Houses before didn't turn into Zombies… It appears that they had to receive severe injuries from the zombies before they turned into one.
Because of that, all the people in quarantine could join the estate's workforce.
With so many additions to their workers, a lot of things had happened in just five days. They tirelessly worked to fortify the property against possible threats from various zombies.. Right now, they had arranged traps even for Hunter Zombies, who liked to sneak inside the estate without making any commotion.
After, Shinja couldn't simply guard every corner of the estate. They had to adapt and ensure that such a high-tier Zombie would fail to enter their territory.
Within the estate walls, Shane barely issued a command and allowed the professionals to do their work...
He was simply supplying as many resources as he could give to everyone.
Shane felt really satisfied with Ewan and his group of farmers as they worked with their skilled hands to make their estate self-sufficient at this point.
Aside from that, during these five days, Mr. Wadsworth also decided to only use the barriers during the night to save their Power Cores… They realized that with their level of strength, they don't really have to worry that much unless they were facing a Zombie Wave.
'I'm still worried that the estate would be exposed to other Survivors after the Regional Server Merge thought…' Shane thought as he wasn't really sure how the server works here.
He could only tell that once that happened, more Survivors would appear and they were definitely not simply Survivors. After all, they would've survived two Zombie Waves to reach this event, and everyone who could do that had some level of skills.
Anyway, Shane watched as Eliot led the creation of numerous buildings.
Temporary living quarters sprung up like mushrooms, offering space and protection to those who were still sharing rooms. With these living quarters, Shane believed that it would help with the mood or morale of the people.
He even gave all the contents of his Entertainment Gift Packs to Mr. Wadsworth to be distributed or shared with others so they could also have some fun.
After all, Shane knew that he had to take care of everyone's mentality as well. They couldn't just think of work 24/7 and they had to live their life as well.
Clink… Clink… Clink…
What Shane really liked around the estate was the sound of metal being hammered.
Indeed, he liked the clang of hammers and the hiss of molten metal as the smithy became a hive of industry.
Blacksmiths, under the lead of Leo and the Tanner Family, worked tirelessly, forging weapons and armor to arm the defenders against the daily threat of zombies. Of course, this also includes some high-level traps.
With the miners getting better, blades were continuously made honed to a razor's edge and shields were crafted with care…
Well, because the Spitter Zombie's population seemed to be growing, they had no other choice but to adapt and create more shields.
After all, not everyone was like Shane and Chaloem, who could manifest aura to protect their bodies.
Then, in the orchard and vegetable garden, everything was also going well.
Anna, with her alchemy knowledge, also assisted the farmers with the crops, ensuring a plentiful harvest to sustain the estate's inhabitants... Explore new worlds at m,v l|e'm-p|yr
At this time, fruits started to ripen on tree branches, and vegetables thrived in the fertile soil.
During these five days, Shane also witnessed how the estate defended against the sporadic attacks of the Zombies.
Shane observed how everyone resisted the Zombies, no matter how weak or strong they were. Shane couldn't help but smile, seeing how everyone was taking this matter seriously.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, a message from the system finally appeared. It was the notification that Shane had been waiting for!
[ Dear Esteemed Survivors,
We are thrilled to announce a crucial update that will reshape our post-apocalyptic world as we know it. In the next phase of our evolution, five regional servers are set to merge, creating a unified and vibrant community of survivors. This merger will foster collaboration, competition, and friendship on an unprecedented scale.
Key Details of the Regional Server Merge:
Five servers will be consolidated into one, uniting survivors from diverse regions into a single dynamic environment.
The introduction of the new Survivor Leaderboard and Clan Leaderboard, or to those who can open them, will now showcase new individuals and groups within our survivor community.
Market Activation:
With the server merge, survivors will gain access to the Market, a hub for trading various items, resources, and equipment.
Please note that fees will be applied to all transactions conducted within the Market, ensuring a fair and regulated trading environment.
Changes to Private Trading:
As part of this update, Private Trading with your friends will now incur transaction fees, with a higher fee structure than the Market transactions. The Friends limit was now raised to 25.
This adjustment comes following the end of Free Trade, aligning with our commitment to a sustainable and balanced economy within our survivor society.
Prepare yourselves for this monumental shift in our world, as we embark on a new chapter of cooperation, competition, and prosperity.
Stay vigilant, stay united, and together, we shall thrive in the face of adversity. ]
Shane and all the other Survivors in the estate were drawn to the announcement of the Zombie Apocalypse System.
To be honest, Shane wasn't too surprised by the activation of the Market.
After all, he had seen this before in the memories of his previous apocalypses.
As a matter of fact, he knew about the Boss Raid that was previously announced as well.
It was earlier hinted by the system that it would be a teamwork battle. It was written as if you'd be the one to build a team.
However, it was not!
