The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

The group of office workers in the live stream, who work from nine to five every day, were as excited as boiling water, and a large number of new users came from who-knows-where.

The live chat was filled with excitement.

Ye Xiao patted his chest and assured him:

“I guarantee with my personal integrity that Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai could have left, but because I am short-handed, they both voluntarily stayed to help. When they leave, I will give each of them 10 yuan.”

He glanced at the rapidly scrolling comments and waved his hand helplessly.

"Hey, hey, don't get excited. This kind of job isn't that simple. If you're thinking of just coasting along, that's impossible. You've all seen what I'm doing here."

"Monsters are the least of our worries. It's not so easy to survive a month in peace."

"Furthermore!"

Ye Xiao put his arms around himself and snorted, "Remember that expert at slacking off before?"

"I believe that long-time viewers of the live stream should already know this."

His smile carried a hint of wickedness, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of murderous intent.

"I don't take idiots here!"

"Those who come here to challenge us, those who disobey orders, will only meet one fate..."

At this point, Ye Xiao made a throat-slitting gesture with a blank expression.

Many viewers in the live stream were unaware of the situation, but after being given a brief explanation by other longtime fans, who heard that someone had had their neck broken before, half of the viewers in the chat disappeared.

[Stir-Fried Jianghu: No, they actually dared to kill someone?!]

[Three Foxes: Ha, you thought I was joking?]

[Milk Egg Not Bland: Exactly, do you really think this job is so easy?]

……

"The conditions here are tough, the food is so-so, there's a lot of work to do, and more importantly, there's danger at any time. Don't think this is some small-scale operation."

Ye Xiao crossed his arms, looked at Liu Yang who was being held by Zhou Hu to practice shooting not far away, shrugged and smiled:

"Just look at Liu Yang and you'll see. If you haven't experienced hardship, you shouldn't get involved."

After an hour's break, everyone got back to work.

Because a large number of night stalkers had previously lived here, Huo Yan emphasized the need for a thorough disinfection.

The Nightwalker corpses from the dormitory area were all dragged to the playground. Dwarf and Hammer gathered a lot of firewood nearby and set up a bonfire on the huge playground.

The contaminated sheets were all thrown into the fire.

Ye Xiao also exchanged a lot of alcohol to disinfect the area.

The group worked tirelessly until nightfall before finally finishing half of the job.

The bonfire on the playground was still burning, illuminating the entire prison, so there was no need to turn on the lights.

The generator is fine, but since it's diesel, we have to use it sparingly.

The water in the reservoir was also used for cleaning, since it had been stored for a long time.

Because the prison is so large, most areas were not thoroughly cleaned.

However, Ye Xiao was not in a hurry, because the system had already given him a reward.

[Leading your team to successfully capture the area and establish a base, thus unlocking the "Base Commander" achievement quest...]

[Current base size: Less than 50 people]

The department store sector is being activated...

Looking at the loading page of the system in front of him, Ye Xiao, who was sitting in the cafeteria, stared wide-eyed with excitement.

The cafeteria was the first place to be cleaned, since it wasn't excessively contaminated.

Ye Xiao, who was originally sitting in his seat, jumped up due to excessive excitement, waving his arms and legs with great enthusiasm.

"Damn it, so you need to create a base to activate the department store, just as I expected!"

[The Heart of Isaac: Wow, how did Xiao-ge guess that?]

Ye Xiao waved his hand, "Hey, the food rewards always come when the population is growing, so I guessed that creating a base might reward people with food-related rewards."

"Haha, it's so great to have a shopping mall!"

Ye Xiao threw a series of punches at the air, as if he had suddenly returned to the chuunibyou (delusional) teenager he once was.

[Pharaoh Elden: Finally, we can improve our meals! Let's get my brother Xiao a better meal!]

As he spoke, Pharaoh Elden showered everyone with a bunch of lavish gifts!

Other wealthy fans also started showering him with gifts.

Ye Xiao grinned, showing off his gaping teeth, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd, saying:

"Thank you so much, Pharaoh! Thank you, Isaac! Thank you, Fish of the Seine! Thank you, Boss Joe! Thank you, Mu Zi!"

"Thanks, brothers! Wow, quite a few lurking experts here! Thank you so much for your concern and support! I'll treat you guys to some fun when I get back!"

The department store has now finished loading.

This is completely different from the previous shopping mall section. After opening the mall, it is divided into several major categories on one side:

Food, daily necessities, home appliances, clothing and footwear, stationery and digital products, maternal and infant products...

"Wow, they even have mother and baby products! This really is a department store!"

At this moment, Liu Yang, wiping sweat from his brow, dragged in a mop.

He threw the mop into the bucket, slumped into a chair, and looked at Ye Xiao, panting heavily.

"Xiao-ge, what's wrong? Why are you so agitated? I could hear you from outside!"

The bright lights illuminated Ye Xiaojun's face, his gaze fixed straight ahead, completely ignoring Liu Yang's words.

Just as Liu Yang was looking puzzled, Ye Xiao suddenly strode towards the small door next to the food serving window and rushed into the kitchen.

The old ghost who had just entered caught a glimpse of Ye Xiao's back. He wiped his sweat as he asked:

"what's the situation?"

Liu Yang shook his head, also looking completely bewildered.

Ye Xiao rushed to the kitchen, where Lao Han and Sister Lin were busy at the stove.

There are gas stoves and earthen stoves here, and at this moment, steam is rising from the large pot above the earthen stove.

When Sister Lin saw Ye Xiao enter, she stopped what she was doing.

"Are you hungry? Your food will be ready soon."

Ye Xiao waved his hand with a grin, "Since it's the first day of our base's establishment, we absolutely have to celebrate properly and have a good meal."

"Give me two fish, one steamed and one braised!"

As they were talking, Sister Lin and Lao Han saw Ye Xiao pull out two fish from somewhere and throw them into the empty pool next to him.

Two large fish were even jumping around in the pool.

Clang! The cleaver in Old Han's hand fell directly onto the cutting board, his eyes staring straight at the sink.

The viewers in the live stream had already started laughing hysterically.

[Liangliang is me: Hahahaha, are you dumbfounded?]

[Dog Egg: Didn't expect that, did you? Two live fish!]

[Mind-bending comment: I love seeing their dumbfounded expressions!]

……

Ye Xiao continued, taking out another roasted crispy duck.

"Let's have another roast duck, it's not enough for over thirty people! Two then!"

"Then what dishes should we make? Braised pork belly? Boiled sliced ​​pork? How do you prepare the beef? What vegetables do you want? Scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"

Sister Lin silently regained her composure. She blankly wiped her hands on her apron, staring blankly as Ye Xiao casually took out various fresh ingredients. She opened her mouth, then said:

"There's so much stuff to process, we need to call in more people to help! And, it's best to have asymptomatic people prepare the live food."

"Okay, by the way, Old Ghost said he used to run a food stall!"

Ye Xiao muttered to himself, then turned and ran out.

Sister Lin and Lao Han exchanged a silent glance, then moved blankly to the table piled high with ingredients, looking at the pork, beef, and fish jumping in the pond.

Old Han raised his hand and slapped himself across the face. "Am I fucking dreaming?"

Sister Lin couldn't help but pinch herself, "It's fresh meat, it's live fish!"

Ye Xiao ran out of the kitchen and into the dining hall, where he saw that almost everyone had already arrived, since it gets dark quickly on the mountain.

Everyone sat down at the table to chat. Ye Xiao pushed open the small door next to the food display window and waved to Lao Gui and Zhou Qirui.

"Come over to the kitchen and help out. Old Gui, Zhou Qirui, you two come over here too."

Old Gui and Zhou Qirui got up and walked towards Ye Xiao, and Tian Haifeng and Chuanzi followed. Both of them could cook.

The four followed into the kitchen, and when they saw the table full of ingredients, Chuanzi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Fresh, and it even has meat? Is this fish?"

Tian Haifeng knew that Ye Xiao possessed amazing abilities, and this moment once again refreshed his understanding. He looked at Lao Han and Sister Lin, and even though they had arrived at the group earlier than him, their expressions were still full of shock.

Liu Yang and Lao Gui didn't react much, they just exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Yang rushed to the table, licked his lips, and exclaimed, "Wow! Brother Xiao, is there food?"

Ye Xiao waved his hand generously, "Let's have a party today! What do you want to eat? Order whatever you like!"
