On the fifth day after the Doomsday Game descended, it was still a day of torrential rain.
Before dawn had even broken, Zhou Bai had already got out of bed and headed directly to the Heroic Spirit Hall, where he summoned two NPCs in succession.
[Name: Alike]
[Race: Undead (Human)]
[Level: lv.16]
[Identity: Resident of the Undead Kingdom]
[Profession: Archer]
[Life Value: 1600/1600]
[Physical Value: 1600/1600]
[Attribute Value: Constitution (18/20), Intelligence (17/20), Agility (20/20), Defense (15/20)]
[Talent: Riding and Shooting]
[Price: 1 Gold Coin per month]
[Name: Heidi]
[Race: Undead (Human)]
[Level: lv.19]
[Identity: Resident of the Undead Kingdom]
[Profession: Mage]
[Life Value: 1900/1900]
[Magic Value: 1900/1900]
[Attributes: Constitution (15/20), Intelligence (19/20), Agility (15/20), Defense (20/20)]
Looking at the data of the two new NPCs, Zhou Bai did not hesitate at all to choose to employ them.
Because the two NPCs summoned today clearly matched her prayers from yesterday, they were full of combat power.
When they appeared, they were met with Zhou Bai's warm smile.
"Lord, we have met." Both Alike and Heidi said very respectfully.
Now, Zhou Bai had a clear attitude towards these summoned NPCs. They were all humans before, and after dying they became Undead, generally not adapting well to the Undead Kingdom, so being summoned was naturally a good thing for them and they willingly complied.
As for the Dwarf Undead, his attitude was solely due to his disdain for humans.
However, despite the disdain, he was clear about the tasks assigned to him.
Therefore, in Zhou Bai's view, although the cost of employing NPCs was a bit high, the value for money was truly high.
Thinking this, Zhou Bai handed over two sets of rain gear to them, "After it gets light, go to the barracks on your own to report to Bayer, and listen to all his commands."
She had already decided that as long as she could summon combatants, she would employ them and then pack them all into the barracks to enhance the combat power of the territory as much as possible.
"Yes."
After giving the usual instructions, Zhou Bai went back to sleep.

Cao Jingshan suddenly woke up from a dream, quickly glanced around, and was relieved to see his wife and daughter both nearby.
In the dream, their team had encountered a Demon Beast, and both his wife and daughter had been in trouble.
Fortunately, it was just a dream.
He then carefully climbed out of bed, put on his soldier-specific leather armor, and quietly left the house.
Once outside, the quiet world instantly became bustling.
Many people were training in the rain in their rain gear, among them many figures that Cao Jingshan found familiar—those who had joined the territory with him yesterday. Their levels were not higher than five, and to enhance their own strength, they had no choice but to find other ways to improve themselves first.
He also learned from old residents that they could now develop various skills—combat skills for fighting, and life skills for living. These skills also increased experience points, albeit at a slightly slower rate.
Apart from those training, some residents were assembling with teams they usually worked with to prepare for an expedition, some residents were accepting employment in the canteen or working on road construction in the territory, while others were heading to the grocery store to buy materials needed to craft items, such as umbrellas, wooden beds, wooden bowls, and other daily necessities...
Everyone had found their place in Hope Village, each performing their duty.
Seeing this scene, Cao Jingshan's heart inexplicably settled down.
With a slight smile, Cao Jingshan stepped onto the stone path laid out the day before and walked toward the direction of the barracks.
"Cao Jingshan!"
At that moment, someone patted his shoulder from behind. Turning his head, it was Feng Lezhi, a fellow member of the soldier team.
"Are you heading to the barracks? Together?" Feng Lezhi called out warmly. He truly admired Cao Jingshan, who had managed to safely bring a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people to their territory. Since they were both in the soldier team, he wanted to make a new friend.
"Alright." Cao Jingshan nodded. He was also willing to interact with old residents to better integrate into the territory.
The two of them walked together toward the direction of the barracks and started encountering other members of the soldier team along the way, the group gradually growing larger.
As a result, when they passed by the Prison gate, they came face to face with Yu Ziming and others.
Seeing Cao Jingshan and the leather armor he was wearing, Yu Ziming's eyes flicked across a trace of embarrassment, then he pretended not to see and spontaneously headed towards the road that was not yet completed.
