In fact, she already knew that zombies could be suppressed, because the system constantly reminded her that countless zombies had been eliminated all over the country every day.
After all, if someone killed a zombie, she would be rewarded with 100 pleasure points. Just today, she had already been rewarded with 50,000 pleasure points, which meant that 500 zombies had been eliminated across the country.
Moreover, an analysis of the pleasure points showed that the time intervals between the system granting pleasure points were becoming shorter and the density was increasing, which meant that more and more zombies were being eliminated nationwide, and the common people were becoming more adept at using methods to counter zombies.
The reason the common people were no longer afraid of zombies, and even achieved unexpected victories, was all thanks to Gu Qingcheng's Kongming lantern communication method.
The zombies killed by the common people using the methods taught in the messages were all attributed to Gu Qingcheng, and the system would reward her automatically.
This way, Gu Qingcheng could easily calculate where zombies had been wiped out and where they were breaking out.
The areas with a high number of zombies eliminated were naturally the areas experiencing outbreaks...
Gu Qingcheng had not expected that the Kongming lantern communication method would have such a significant impact, spreading rapidly across the country.
After all, this was an era of very closed and backward information, which was truly incredible.
But upon further thought, it was not difficult to understand. Zombies had seriously threatened the people's production and livelihood, and with methods to counter them, the information naturally spread quickly.
At the same time, the emotional bonds formed by kinship, friendship, and other affections among the people would also facilitate the rapid exchange of such useful information, thus quickly promoting the widespread knowledge of how to counter zombies.
Gu Qingcheng was happy to see this. Firstly, the common people could eliminate more zombies quickly, and secondly, she could also earn more pleasure points.
Her pleasure points, due to the rewards for eliminating zombies, had now reached 5 million points.
This huge number of pleasure points was incomparable to the one or two pleasure points she received daily when she first arrived.
Because the common people could "deduct" pleasure points for killing zombies, Gu Qingcheng had now transitioned from desperately trying to earn pleasure points to passively enjoying the "deduction" income of pleasure points, reaping the benefits without effort.
It was like investing in real estate. In the beginning, one had to be frugal, but once the property was bought, one could wait for rental income, like a landlady. Gu Qingcheng had also become a "pleasure point" landlady during this time, able to completely relax without doing anything.
Every evening when she had nothing to do, lying in bed and tallying her pleasure point income had become a great joy for Gu Qingcheng.
That feeling was akin to the greedy Grandet admiring his glittering francs.
This feeling was unparalleled, a sense of security and satisfaction.
The most common thing Gu Qingcheng had been doing recently was exchanging pleasure points for a large quantity of daily necessities, which she stored in her private supply warehouse.
Although she could exchange for supplies in the Bear Cat supermarket as long as she had pleasure points, these tangible grains, flour, and oil were also important guarantees of her sense of security.
Even though the shelf life of grains, flour, and oil began to count down once they were moved out of the storage cabinets, if any accident were to happen, such as the Bear Cat supermarket suddenly disappearing, she would at least have over half a year's worth of emergency supplies.
Gu Qingcheng's supply warehouse now contained at least 10,000 tons of rice, 10,000 tons of flour, and 10,000 barrels of oil.
This supply warehouse was located next to her residence and was her personal warehouse and supply transfer point. Every time Qin Yue needed to collect daily necessities for the entire village, she had to draw them from this private warehouse.
Mi Guo was responsible for the outward transfer of supplies from this private warehouse. He would retrieve them from the warehouse and then hand them over to Qin Yue. Besides him, no one else was allowed to enter the warehouse.
The reason for setting up a more secretive private warehouse was to prevent the villagers from becoming suspicious.
If there was only the warehouse managed by Qin Yue, some people would surely be suspicious. She hadn't seen her restock, so why did the warehouse have such a large reserve of supplies?
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng set up a private warehouse, and its scale was not inferior to the public warehouse. With this extra transfer point, she didn't have to worry about others thinking too much.
In any case, no one knew where the supplies in her personal supply warehouse came from, so she could make up any excuse she wanted.
Of course, truly smart people wouldn't ask too many questions. For example, Village Chief Dai Fa Dai. As long as the villagers had enough to eat and drink and lived a comfortable life, why would he ask so many questions?
If he didn't ask, there would be no problem, but if he did ask and there was no answer, wouldn't that be a life-threatening situation?
Although Mi Guo was young, he was quite strong, reinforced by the Strength Enhancement Pills, so managing the warehouse was very easy for him.
Moreover, Gu Qingcheng had also been clever enough to disguise the trailers used for transporting large appliances and furniture from the Bear Cat supermarket with wooden boards, calling them "wooden oxen and flowing horses" to facilitate Mi Guo's transportation of supplies.
With the Strength Enhancement Pills and this mechanical assistance, Mi Guo didn't exert much effort.
On the other hand, Qin Yue always had to call over a dozen burly men to help load the supplies and then transport them to the public supply warehouse.
Mi Guo knew how to enjoy himself. He had turned a corner near the entrance of the supply warehouse into his office.
He set up a tea table made of old tree roots, a complete set of kung fu tea brewing utensils, and a charcoal brazier next to it to boil water for tea anytime.
His sister had given him many good teas, such as black tea, white tea, green tea, and oolong tea, all of which he could drink in various combinations.
He also placed some nuts like sunflower seeds and peanuts to accompany the tea, as well as small snacks like mung bean cake and cloud-sliced cake. His life couldn't have been more comfortable.
Of course, even when Mi Guo was slightly at leisure, he never relaxed his physical training or archery practice.
Every day, he and his sister would run 10 kilometers on the village's jogging path. After running, they would practice archery, shooting at least 100 arrows to maintain their perfect accuracy.
Then he would practice his swordsmanship.
His sister said that the great principles were simple, and it was enough to practice the most basic swordsmanship. Chopping, slashing, hooking, and slicing – these few moves were practiced by Mi Guo repeatedly without tiring.
In this way, Mi Guo had a very fulfilling day.
Gu Qingcheng, to be honest, was lazier than everyone else.
All the administrative structures in the village had been set up, and people with comparable abilities had been placed in various departments. Everything just needed to proceed according to plan.
Gu Qingcheng herself was only responsible for the final review, dispatch, and supervision.
For example, when it came to distributing houses, people in each stage would advance the matter to the final step, compile the documents, and submit them to Gu Qingcheng's desk. She only needed to sign to complete the process.
Gu Qingcheng had delegated a lot of minor powers. She would only personally handle matters concerning important issues like real estate and land.
Gu Qingcheng was not afraid that others would think she was too young and secretly "bully" her. After all, the most important daily necessities were under her control. If anyone was disobedient, she could directly cut off their lifeline, without any hesitation.
