The Doomsday Game arrived on the fifth day, still rainy weather.
Before dawn, Zhou Bai had already gotten up and headed straight for the Heroic Spirit Hall, where he summoned two NPCs in succession.

[Name: Heidi]
[Race: Undead (Human)]
[Level: lv.19]
[Identity: Undead Kingdom Resident]
[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 to choose employment.
Because the two NPCs summoned today clearly matched her prayers from yesterday, offering impressive combat power.
When they appeared, they were greeted by Zhou Bai's warm smile.
"Greetings, my Lord," Alike and Heidi both said respectfully.
Zhou Bai now had a sense of these summoned NPCs, as they were once humans who became undead after their deaths, finding it difficult to adapt to the Undead Kingdom. Being summoned was a good thing for them, so naturally, they were not forced.
As for the Dwarf undead, his attitude was entirely due to his disdain for humans.
Though disdainful, he carried out the tasks assigned to him without any ambiguity.
In Zhou Bai's view, although employing NPCs was somewhat expensive, the cost-effectiveness was truly excellent.
With that thought, Zhou Bai handed them two sets of rain gear, saying, "Once daylight comes, head to the barracks to report to Bayer, follow his orders entirely."
She had already decided that as long as combatants were summoned, she would employ them and send them all to the barracks to maximize the territory's combat power.
"Yes."
After briefly instructing them, Zhou Bai went back to bed for some extra sleep.

Cao Jingshan suddenly woke from a dream, quickly glanced around, and seeing his wife and daughter beside him, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
In the dream, the team encountered a Demon Beast and both his wife and daughter were in trouble.
Fortunately, it was just a dream.
He then carefully climbed out of bed, donned the soldier's leather armor, and quietly stepped outside.
As soon as he stepped out, the quiet world instantly became bustling.
Many people wearing rain gear were training directly in the rain, and many figures looked familiar to Cao Jingshan. They had joined the territory with him yesterday, and although their levels did not exceed Level 5, they had to take alternate paths to improve their own strength.
From the old residents, they learned that now it was possible to develop various skills; there were combat skills and life skills, which could also increase experience points, albeit slower.
In addition to those training, some residents were gathering with teams they regularly partnered with for outings, others were accepting employment from the territory to work in the canteen or repair roads, and some were heading to the grocery store to purchase materials needed for making items, like umbrellas, wooden beds, wooden bowls, and other daily necessities.
Everyone had found their position in Hope Village, each performing their duties.
Watching this scene, Cao Jingshan's heart inexplicably calmed down.
With a slight smile, Cao Jingshan stepped onto the stone-paved road laid yesterday and walked toward the barracks.
"Cao Jingshan!"
At that moment, someone patted his shoulder from behind. He turned to look, and it was Feng Lezhi, a member of the soldier team.
"Are you heading to the barracks? Let's go together," Feng Lezhi called enthusiastically. He truly admired Cao Jingshan for being able to lead a group of the weak and disabled safely to their territory; he wanted to make friends, being in the same soldier team.
"Sure." Cao Jingshan nodded, willing to engage with the old residents for better integration into the territory.
The two of them walked together toward the barracks, and along the way, other members of the soldier team joined, forming a larger group.
As they passed the prison gates, they happened to encounter Yu Ziming and others.
Yu Ziming saw Cao Jingshan and his leather armor, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he subsequently pretended not to notice, heading voluntarily toward the unfinished road.
