Yan Wanwan had no intention of caring about other people's choices. For her, it was only necessary to specify the number of houses to be built. After all, she was only responsible to those who trusted her.

The plan she proposed quickly spread throughout Nanping Prefecture. When the people heard that they could get free housing, they were filled with joy and cheered.

About an hour later, a detailed record of her actions was presented on the emperor's dragon desk.

After reading it, the emperor couldn't help but look at his face with suspicion. He asked the eunuch Wu who was serving beside him, "Little Wu, take a look at her. What is her intention in doing this?"

Eunuch Wu hurried forward and after a closer look, his face was filled with panic and he couldn't help muttering.

Seeing this, the emperor asked again, "What are you mumbling about?"

Eunuch Wu hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I have been secretly calculating the amount of money the county lady will need to spend this time. Your Majesty, you see, each household will be given three taels of silver. There are hundreds of thousands of households in Nanping Prefecture, and the total amount is indeed a huge sum."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately said, "Silver is a minor matter, food is the most urgent matter. You must immediately inform the Ministry of Revenue to raise the price of grain."

When Eunuch Wu heard this, his body shook violently, and he immediately understood the emperor's intention. It turned out that the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail Yan Wanwan!

In Nanping Prefecture, Yan Wanwan frowned slightly at the statistical data.

"Most of them are asking for food?"

The housekeeper nodded in response, "That's right. The world is in turmoil right now. Even if it's difficult to build a house right now, we can temporarily take shelter in a resettlement site. However, if we lack food, we will starve to death. Even..."

The housekeeper paused, hesitant to speak, "Some people are actually trying to stay in the resettlement site permanently, relying entirely on the food you distribute to survive, thinking that this will guarantee their future livelihood."

"In the future? Didn't they hear clearly? I only give housing subsidies once, never twice."

It was true that people were insatiable. Where in this world wasn't there someone who wanted to take advantage of Yan Wanwan? But how could she be easily taken advantage of?

The reason why it is called a resettlement point is because the temporary tents cannot last long. Since they have imagined it so beautifully, she must be a good person to the end and let them experience firsthand what it means to have their ideals shattered.

Everything was being constructed in an orderly manner, with cleaning and protection being carried out simultaneously. Except for Yan Wanwan's wallet which was shrinking at a visible rate, the people became richer instead.

On this day, with everything on track, Yan Wanwan finally had time to research the antidote for the Corpse King's poison.

She had been in a laboratory in the apocalyptic layer and had some understanding of it. After these days of experimental research, she had been able to make a drug to inhibit the spread of the corpse king poison. She believed that she was not far from completely detoxifying it.

But at this moment, Moshi applied to connect with her.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard the fat man yelling, "Boss, those zombies have become stronger again."

"what happened?"

[Boss, it seems a new zombie king has appeared among the zombies. He's even more powerful than the previous one.]

Yan Wanwan pursed her lips tightly, wanting to tell him that this zombie king was most likely the one who was not completely dead before.

"Can you tell me specifically how powerful it is?"

[Boss, not only can he control other zombies, but he's also a space zombie, able to kill people invisibly using the air.]

Yan Wanwan's heart sank. Space-type zombies were already extremely rare, and coupled with such powerful control abilities, this was undoubtedly a huge crisis. However, the last time he saw the Zombie King in the lab, he didn't have space abilities. How did he suddenly have them?

Suddenly, she had a bad feeling.

"Where's Four Eyes? Did you suffer any casualties?" she asked quickly.

"Boss, we're at the temporary base in the East District. No casualties so far, but everyone's in a state of panic. This new zombie king has surrounded the base with a horde of zombies. Four Eyes went looking for weapons, but our weapons don't seem to have much effect on him."

The fat man's voice was full of anxiety.

Yan Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Don't act rashly. Organize your defense and try to use the base's terrain advantages to delay the attack."

After saying that, she quickly mixed some ingredients and started to prepare it.

Soon, more than a dozen bottles and jars were ready and then sent back.

"This is a specially made improvised bomb I made. Target a densely populated area with zombies and throw it there."

[Boss, you are my biological boss! ]

In a flash, there was a series of crackling explosions, and the zombies were blown to pieces in an instant.

However, this wave of explosions did not cause any substantial damage to the Zombie King.

It just shook its body slightly, and then let out a sharp roar again, commanding the zombies to rush towards the base like a tide.

Yan Wanwan saw this scene through the link and frowned. She knew that she had to think of a more comprehensive solution.

She decisively ordered, "Fatty, have everyone gather all the heavy objects they can find in the base and pile them at key locations where the zombies might break through to slow down their attack."

The fat man did as he was told, and it worked. However, the zombie king quickly realized that the base wanted to consume his men, so he immediately gathered all the zombies together in a triangle formation to break through the siege.

The fat man's first words after seeing this were curses, "The zombies have become so clever, they actually know how to use small means to win big."

Four Eyes's tired and weak voice came, "The zombies are evolving too quickly. We must quickly upgrade our weapons and equipment, otherwise we will be difficult to stop them in the future."

【Four Eyes, why are you back? 】

【It was the boss who asked me to come back.】

【What about the zombies outside? 】

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp screams of zombies were heard outside, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps.

The fat man shouted excitedly, "These are the wood plants left by the boss. All the zombies that broke through were eaten by the vines. The zombie king has led the remaining zombies away from here."

I couldn't hear what was said afterwards, and at the end all that was left was cheers.

Yan Wanwan looked at everything on the opposite side through the plants. Everyone was happy, except for Four Eyes, who stared grimly at the plants that connected the ancient times and the end of the world.

【What are you looking at? 】

[Boss, can you see everything that happens in the end times? ]

Yan Wanwan's heart trembled, but she remained calm on the surface.

After hearing a long silence from the other side, the fat man cursed angrily, "What are you thinking all day? The boss has long said that the only way to communicate with us is through plants, just like making a phone call. How can we see it?"

Siyan slowly approached and said in a low voice, "Boss, stop pretending. The appearance of that plant is too strange. How did you know I was there?"

Yan Wanwan narrowed her eyes slightly, still pursing her lips and not saying a word.

He said a few more heart-wrenching words, but still received no response. Only then did he believe that Yan Wanwan's search just now might really have been just a coincidence.

At this moment, Yan Wanwan had already divided her mind into two, jumping around everywhere in the apocalypse because she discovered a huge bug.
