I have a city in another world

The girl's condition actually indicates a loss of spirit and soul, leading to an abnormal mental state.

They are filled with fear and vigilance towards unfamiliar things, giving off a cold and apathetic feeling.

However, they perform exceptionally well in familiar areas, demonstrating greater focus and undivided attention in accomplishing a single task.

Those with similar symptoms can be seen as having a medical defect, or they can be seen as geniuses who can transform themselves.

However, this kind of modification is a passive action, and the chances of success are very small.

Communicating with this type of patient requires a special approach, which Tang Zhen happened to be familiar with.

Compared to the average person, such employees are actually less troublesome, as they will perfectly complete their tasks and pay no attention to anything else.

I never participate in or respond to questions about salaries and benefits, or gossip and disputes.

Treating this disease requires repairing the soul, which comes at a great cost and is far beyond what ordinary people can afford.

With the new employees recruited, Tang Zhen could become a hands-off manager, no longer needing to be in the store all the time.

This kind of boring work is better left to someone else. Since you're not short of money, don't be too hard on yourself.

With more time, they could also go to the backyard to process various weapons and equipment, instead of only being able to work in their spare time at night.

The weapons and equipment in the order are mostly gun parts, as well as some item upgrades, modifications, maintenance, and repairs.

Without using supernatural powers, they can only rely on various tools to manufacture and repair weapons and equipment.

Some tools are expensive to manufacture, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them, especially in the wasteland environment where the supply of resources is extremely tight and many things can no longer be manufactured.

If you can't buy it on the market, then you'll have to make it by hand.

Tang Zhen collected materials and handcrafted some processing equipment to make the equipment manufacturing process easier.

Having grown accustomed to extraordinary power, the inability to wield it now is indeed quite disconcerting.

Fortunately, they gradually adapted before long.

Under the dim light, Tang Zhen operated the equipment with a focused expression.

The outer city has an electricity supply, powered by a nearby solar power station and a medium-sized hydroelectric power station, which is barely enough to meet the city's normal needs.

The main reason is that there are not many factories in this mountain town shelter.

Tang Zhen's shop also has a pre-installed power supply, which makes it more convenient to process items.

He took out a notebook, glanced at the information on it, and then got to work at a leisurely pace.

In the shop ahead, a newly arrived female clerk with a big smile was chatting with a customer who had just come in.

Judging from how she works, no one would guess that she is a patient who has suffered severe mental and physical trauma.

Everything seemed perfect.

Some of the extraordinary cultivators in the inner city, however, were unable to eat or sleep properly.

Previously, the police station was attacked, the new commissioner was so frightened that he went insane, and a supernatural monk was seriously injured.

The four cultivators who participated in the operation didn't even see a shadow of the enemy; it was utterly humiliating.

Following this incident, the leadership of the Mountain City Shelter held a meeting and decided to upgrade the defense level of the inner city.

Although the perpetrators only committed crimes in the outer city and did not threaten the safety of the inner city, a group of high-ranking officials did not dare to let their guard down.

They strongly suspected that this was the enemy secretly testing them, and that the situation might become even more dire.

Ordinary people are unaware of the situation and believe that this calamity is a natural disaster or a terrible virus from outside the world.

In reality, it was a man-made disaster, caused by a group of evil supernatural cultivators who wantonly created killing and calamities in the human world.

However, this truth cannot be told to ordinary people, otherwise it will only cause greater panic. Natural disasters are mostly accidents and will eventually end, but man-made disasters are deliberate and can be triggered anytime, anywhere.

If the survivors knew that the higher-ups were powerless against the demonic cultivators and could only hide to protect themselves, they would probably feel desperate and collapse.

Survivors must be given hope so that they have the courage to live; otherwise, all we will see is a scene of despair and lifelessness.

The frequent changes in the outer city have caused concern among a group of high-ranking officials, who suspect that evil cultivators are behind the scenes.

Since this possibility exists, we must be extra careful to prevent the enemy from causing something even bigger.

At the same time, more people were dispatched to the outer city to conduct reconnaissance and try to find the hidden enemies.

However, this operation must be carried out in secret to avoid provoking the enemy and causing further sabotage.

A vast, silent net is slowly being cast in the shadows, searching for any suspicious clues.

Not long after, another message arrived.

The drones responsible for detection have discovered a large number of mutated monsters that are now surging toward the mountain city shelter.

The city has just experienced a major upheaval, and a large number of monsters have swarmed in, which will inevitably raise suspicions about the connection between the two events.

Upon discovering the danger, the mountain city shelter immediately issued an alarm, strengthened defenses around the outer city, urged survivors venturing out to be extra cautious, and prepared to engage in battle.

When faced with a large number of monsters, the settlement must not sit idly by and wait for death, but must choose to take the initiative to attack.

As the alarm was issued, the atmosphere in the mountain town gathering area immediately became tense, and many vehicles and people could be seen returning one after another.

There were noticeably more pedestrians and vehicles on the streets, and many of them carried a fierce and aggressive air about them.

The number of customers visiting the store also increased, with orders for various weapons totaling dozens.

Survivors who choose to order weapons often have higher requirements, and ordinary standard equipment cannot satisfy them.

These customers are more discerning and more professional; you simply cannot gain their approval if you don't have sufficient expertise.

They placed orders after being introduced by friends or visiting the store in person and being satisfied.

Especially with war approaching, the consumption of weapons and equipment has increased significantly. Out of self-preservation, many survivors are upgrading their equipment.

As a result of this incident, the business of equipment stores throughout the city has improved significantly, and Tang Zhen's newly opened store has also benefited from it.

With so many orders and customers needing them urgently, Tang Zhen had no choice but to work overtime.

At that moment, he experienced the hardships of life, which was truly difficult.

Fortunately, a shop receptionist had been recruited beforehand, otherwise Tang Zhen really wouldn't have been able to spare the time.

The girl's brother once came secretly and observed from the shadows, and found that his sister was indeed in very good spirits.

While feeling relieved, he became even more curious about Tang Zhen, wondering how he had managed to do it.

Possessing such methods, one is certainly not an ordinary shop owner; perhaps they are an extraordinary person hiding their true identity.

In the wasteland, there are many such people. An inconspicuous old man on the roadside may very well be a powerful martial artist.

The young man secretly rejoiced that his sister's hardships had finally come to an end, and that she had met a good boss like Tang Zhen.

Meanwhile, a group of unscrupulous individuals quietly infiltrated the mountain town settlement.

Their main task was to sabotage the mountain town settlement and incite panic among the residents.

In a private residence in the city, a group of men and women were gathered together, with a map of the outer city on the table.

This homemade map is marked with many locations, all of which are targets to be attacked.

Tang Zhen's newly opened shop also had a red cross marked on it. (End of Chapter)
