”Amazing. I thought the difference in levels was huge beforehand, but this.. A level 20 player could basically dominate a group of level 10 players with ease.” He started to think about what getting level 30 would get him, but he quickly snapped out of it. Regular zombies basically gave him next to nothing now, in terms of EXP. Evolved zombies, he would need to kill a thousand of them. After reaching level 20, the EXP needed to gain even a single level rose exponentially.
Regardless of that fact, it only filled Luna with an even more burning desire to level up. A thousand evolved zombies? Fifty or even a hundred of those new variants? It didn't matter. The Negros Occidental/Oriental islands along has a population of over 5 million people now. He highly doubted that even 100,000 people in total survived. That would leave around 4.9 million zombies, not counting the spawned zombies.
The reason for Luna's urgency to expand, besides the fact that he needed a territory, was because he wanted to establish a sizable territory as soon as possible. If he could be the first one to liberate a city, with majority of it's citizens being dead, leaving a lot of vacant housing. It would be a huge rallying point for survivors. Survivors which would be the crucial manpower he would need to maintain a nation.
Especially for the lucky families that managed to survive, having a safe haven for their family to stay, they would have even more of a reason. A person wouldn't mind fighting if it meant their kids could have a safe place to stay.
There was also the issue of being able to feed his people. Eventually the grocery stores will be emptied out, if they only relied on those. Luckily, the Negros Islands had the capacity to eventually feed such a huge population.
Not to mention it was by the sea, which meant that although it would be susceptible to attacks from the evolved aquatic life forms, they would also provide even better nutrition than before. But that was a plan reserved for the future, as of right now, the only ones by the ports are the spawned zombies, he obviously wouldn't mind if those guys sustained the fish.
The next day, Luna would instruct everybody to set up a defensive line around the perimeter of what was deemed as part of their <Territory> in preparation for the invasion when they claimed it. Setting up a perimeter was simple, the remaining time Luna, Maria, Clara, Sura, and Hana tried to teach some simple fighting techniques to the rest of the survivors, they were highly doubtful it would prove to be highly useful in such a short time, but learning some easy techniques that they didn't know before, definitely gave the rest a boost in morale.
It was the same way when a coach would tell a fighter what to do prior to a match. Having a game plan in mind, would better prepare someone for a fight. After all the preparations were set, everybody got into their positions. They didn't know where the enemy would come from, so they formed a circle.
The original group took their places on the outer perimeters, the newer survivors were behind them in case any zombies got through, while the two Doctors, the children, along with Apple were in the middle. Her role was to be the immediate assistance to whichever side would be struggling.
”It's time.” Luna said, while pulling up the option in his consciousness.
Would you like to claim this Territory? Y/N
”Yes.”
