After some time of communication, Zheng Yifan realized that this Fellow was merely pretending to be confused, or perhaps he was simply trying to escape reality.
Of course, according to his way of thinking, it was about giving others a certain attitude, an exclusionary attitude, making those people keep their distance so that they could maintain control over their own territory.
Others might think they were fools, but that was fine; they had enough resources and, most importantly, their Superpower was sufficient.
Perhaps this was their wisdom.
"Honestly, I want to relocate your so-called System God to the front lines of our battle against those fierce Zombies, to occupy cities or coastal towns," Zheng Yifan stated unequivocally.
The Old Man Song sitting across from him chuckled.
"Do I have the right to oppose?" he said with a wry smile as he looked at Zheng Yifan.
"In fact, we don't even know what our System God is. Yet no one is moved. Do you know why? Because we lack the power and the courage. All the nearby Zombies are actually affected by the power of the System God; their lethality decreases rapidly, which is why we dare to be so reckless," Old Man Song laughed.
"Take it. Right in the center of our Gathering Place; you'll know once you get there," Old Man Song said with a smile.
In reality, he had no way to refuse. Since Zheng Yifan needed it, he could only concede. This was the rule of the apocalypse; no one could be an exception.
Zheng Yifan continued, "Although you may not like it, in the future you will definitely unify. Send someone with me to retrieve your System God. I will relocate it to the front lines of war."
Old Man Song had little choice; this was a world governed by power. Unfortunately, he still had to play the fool in front of others.
Because all of them possessed the same Superpower. The power altered by the Primordial Pearl seemed unimpressive but was actually extremely formidable.
They might not have an advantage against Zombies of the same level or lower-level Zombies because their Superpower was quite average. There was no particularly strong Superpower among them.
However, in reality, if compared directly, their average Superpower could also be an advantage. What made it even more troublesome was that their Superpower included forced damage due to the rules imposed by power; who could fight against the entire world?
Once Zheng Yifan learned the location of the Primordial Pearl, he arranged for them to proceed. Next came the issue of persuading Logistics Personnel and further educating them.
Their mindset still needed to be tempered by the apocalypse. These peculiar thoughts needed to adapt to the outside world; their resistance was actually not high because they truly lacked that kind of awareness. They previously thought that the apocalypse had become a game. Now they realized just how fortunate they had been.
As for those merchants from before, they were utterly despised by them.
Damn! They had thought that the NPCs never mentioned prices, only to realize now that they had been taken advantage of for such a long time.
No wonder no one bothered to attack them with great effort.
It turned out they were treated like laborers. They sold their supplies at cheap prices without having to worry. In the end, all they needed to do was offer a few items in exchange.
The most traded goods were various plants and Essence Fruits. Under the management of the System, they were provided with many recipes. These items were of no use to others.
However, under the protection of their rules, they possessed incredible powers. For instance, each of them actually had red potions—those that restored health. Consuming one would recover their bodies, and there were antidotes to help them recover from mutations caused by Zombie attacks.
These items had once been their treasures in the fight against Zombies.
Others could only dream of using them. They possessed such power only because they had a Primordial Pearl.
Zheng Yifan knew that there should be three Primordial Pearls in total. To be honest, if he really had to use a Primordial Pearl to enter the Vitality Tower, he might hesitate. The Primordial Pearl he wanted was just the lowest grade, as long as it allowed him entry. As for the effect of rank, it was merely about the challenge difficulty. Zheng Yifan wasn't afraid of difficulty; after all, the challenges would be the same in the later stages.
The significance of a Primordial Pearl for a Gathering Place was evident; it could make a Gathering Place thrive and allow many people to utilize their powers.
The three Primordial Pearls he had obtained earlier restored some rules from the Post-Apocalypse, which allowed people to use Firearms.
They couldn't use them, but they could harness the bizarre powers of the System God.
Now he had found a guide.
It was Zhang Qiang, Old Man Song's assistant, originally the second-in-command of their Gathering Place. He was an ordinary college student who had become incredibly hardworking after the apocalypse, always fighting on the front lines.
According to them, this Fellow was the highest level and possessed the best skills among them.
In Zheng Yifan's understanding, this Fellow was the strongest among their kind, as for Old Man Song...
The use of this Fellow's Superpower is rather peculiar, as he should have already possessed it when he encountered the System God. It was only later that the power was enhanced by the Primordial Pearl, making his Superpower somewhat similar to others.
Their Gathering Place has no name; they refer to it as Main City, which was originally a village called Qianyuan Village, known for having once produced immortals. The System God resides within the village's Ancestral Hall.
This Primordial Pearl actually existed before the apocalypse. However, it lacked power and was enshrined in the Ancestral Hall.
Others regarded it as a relic of Buddhist bones, but when the apocalypse struck, after a period of nourishing Vital Energy, it became a special location capable of eternally repelling Zombies from entering the village and instilling fear in wild beasts.
They have encountered fierce beasts and Zombies. Yet, as soon as they enter the village, the rules' power drives those beasts away.
If a Zombie forcefully breaks through, it will be attacked by a strange force, instantly killed without any chance of relief.
This has created their safe environment.
When Zheng Yifan learned about these matters, he was filled with anticipation; an absolute Safe Zone. To have such a place during the apocalypse is remarkable. It is like a paradise on earth—everyone dreams of having such a place in the apocalypse, where there is no conflict, and neither Zombies nor beasts dare to enter, allowing for a peaceful night's sleep filled with Stability.
But in reality? There is only a relatively Safe Zone. Zheng Yifan and their Hope Gathering Place is merely a relative Safe Zone that they have created.
However, the sky is never truly their territory. (To be continued...)
