The cleanup plan went very smoothly, and the girls began to gradually become accustomed to fighting.
There were also some minor accidents during this period, such as injuries.
Mainly, the ordinary girls who were still adapting and had never fought had many problems at the beginning.
The elf girls leading the team and Kanae Kocho couldn't handle everything at once, so some monsters quietly approached the team.
People were injured due to the monsters' sneak attacks.
However, these wounded were treated promptly by Takumi and Shizuka Marikawa, and there were no deaths or permanent casualties.
The cleanup team lined up in the construction area of the Dimensional City and near the dam using radar scanning, launching a carpet-like sweep.
After two days of busy work, they managed to successfully kill all the monsters within three miles.
This also led to the fact that the meat storage in Dimensional City was bursting at the seams.
At the same time, after the killed monsters were processed, in addition to the meat, the various remaining materials made Hephaestus excited from ear to ear.
During this period, Takumi's protective barrier was also completed.
This is a triggered barrier. It will only start to standby when it senses that an outside creature is approaching and will take effect when it is attacked by the outside world.
The defensive effect of the barrier was quite good, so Takumi asked Zabuton to give it a try.
The test results showed that even the giant spider's attacks could be blocked. After attacking continuously for five minutes, there were signs that the barrier could not hold up.
Considering that Zabuton is already the strongest individual among the monsters, if it is just to protect against other creatures in the Forest of Death, the strength of the barrier is completely sufficient.
So after Takumi replenished the magic power to the barrier, he let it run automatically.
As long as it is not triggered often, the barrier can continue to work for more than two months if the magic power is replenished once.
Takumi couldn't help but praise his clever design.
After dealing with the monster problem, Takumi updated the Grace for the girls to see the improvement effect.
It turned out that they were all doing well, and their strength had been greatly improved.
The main reason was adapting to combat and gaining experience, so that ordinary girls could properly display their strength and initially form combat effectiveness.
At the same time, the change in mentality was also quite significant.
Because they came to a relatively safe environment, they had gradually given up their will to survive, and some signs of PTSD that had begun to show up also dissipated after the battle.
The days of struggling to survive in the world of the Highschool of the Dead left a little psychological shadow on them.
After fighting and winning against monsters again and again, their self-confidence gradually increased.
Today's girls no longer become timid so easily. At least they dare to pick up weapons and fight when facing the enemy.
Takumi, who noticed this, felt that it was necessary to strike while the iron was hot and give them some more experience.
He did not rush to disband the raiding team but took them to the world of the apocalypse again.
Speaking of which, he still had a task to complete here.
It was almost time to collect those two rewards: the designated lottery and the goodwill of the world.
With this in mind, Takumi led the raiding team to the Lumine River and asked them to sweep away the zombies.
He himself teleported to the Rabbit's side. After some deliberation, a huge magic circle manifested and flew over the entire Rabbit territory.
As the purifying golden light rain fell, the zombies that were still domineering all twitched collectively, bursts of black smoke rising from their bodies before they fell to the ground dead.
Before the Rabbits below could understand what was going on, Takumi teleported to the next place.
But this time, it was not as simple as just purifying the zombies.
Takumi even took action against the survivor bases of other nations.
As soon as a ninth-level fire spell was cast down, not to mention the base, the entire city where it was located would rise to the sky on the spot.
It wasn't to vent anything; in fact, Takumi was just taking the opportunity to test the power of high-level magic.
At the same time, during the test, he also avoided some cities with a large number of resources and recorded them so that he could retrieve them when needed later.
The reason for taking action against these overseas survivor bases was to take care of the Rabbits.
Without these foreign enemies, after the Rabbits recover their strength, they can develop in this world with peace of mind.
As for how they will develop?
This had nothing to do with Takumi; it could only be said to be random.
Because by that time, he would probably no longer need the resources of the apocalypse world.
In this way, Takumi cleaned up the entire Eurasian continent and then turned back to Africa.
Here, there were no survivors. Takumi purified it and went to Australia again.
After cleaning up Australia, Takumi was not in a hurry to clean up the Lumine River.
Instead, they began to look for traces of survivors at sea and at the poles.
Needless to say, at sea, the several fleets of the Eagle-chan family and the submarines of various countries were all isolated islands. They were natural refuges in the apocalypse, and there were probably many people left now.
It was not a good thing to continue to let them stay. After all, they possessed some powerful weapons.
If they still survived the EMP, then for the new world after the apocalypse, they would represent a dimensionality reduction strike.
Takumi would not allow such a thing to happen.
Otherwise, he worked so hard to clear out all the zombies, only for these people to take advantage of him in the end? Wouldn't that be a pure injustice?
Except for the Rabbits he intentionally helped, who else deserved to take advantage of him?
And even if the people on the fleets and submarines had perished, there would still be zombies left.
Anyway, it needed to be cleaned!
And the two poles.
Takumi also seriously suspected that some survivors might have taken refuge in these two polar regions at that time.
Let's not talk about the Arctic. As for the Antarctic, the extreme climate is a natural virus barrier.
Although because of carrying the virus, there was a high possibility of them dying in the shelters.
But it still needed to be cleaned up, otherwise if the virus remained in the poles, it would not be fun, and the next zombie crisis might break out in the future.
Not to mention, after some searching, Takumi found a lot of lucky people at sea.
Because the EMP attacks at that time did not target objects at sea, they were allowed to survive.
One of the fleets was even intact. As long as the crew on board hadn't caused a riot because of lack of supplies, most of the people on the ship were already dead.
Takumi cleaned up the people and zombies on them and took advantage of the situation to collect these battleships. They might be used in the future, so he temporarily placed them on the coast near the Kangaroo Continent.
Well, mainly because there were no living people left in Australia.
If you put them here, no one can steal them across the sea.
As for the two poles, Takumi also made a discovery.
As he thought, many foreigners were guarding here with their men, most of them in Antarctica.
Some had been destroyed by the virus, while others had seen rebellions by their subordinates, and the structures had changed.
There was even a war between them over supplies, and they attacked each other. When Takumi discovered them, there happened to be two groups fighting.
Moreover, Takumi also discovered several Rabbit research stations, and there were many survivors inside.
Needless to say, he cleaned up the zombies and the foreign survivors.
Takumi conveniently teleported the Rabbits in the research stations home. After finishing this work, he came to the Lumine River to join the girls.
Seeing that none of them had any accidents, they started cleaning up the continent again.
In the end, Takumi worked for almost a whole day and finally cleared away all the zombies in other places, leaving only the city where the girls were.
For this last city, Takumi was not in a hurry to clean it up but tried to let the girls finish it.
In addition to wanting to train them, he also wanted to see if they could have a part in this great cause of saving the world.
If they succeeded, Takumi estimated that this great achievement would at least be enough to upgrade all their Grace by one or two levels.
Takumi also told Riveria Ljos Alf, who was leading the team, this idea.
After she knew that Takumi had almost completely saved the world and they were the only thing missing.
He quickly called all the girls and announced the situation.
"Takumi has already reached this point. As long as you work harder, you may get this wave of benefits. What else is there to say? Come on!"
"Oh!!!"
As long as you let go, killing zombies is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
Originally, it was just that they hadn't gotten used to it yet. It's just fighting zombies, that's why it's slow.
Now that they were inspired, they all began to chase and kill the zombies as if they had been given a surge of adrenaline.
At the same time, don't forget that there are dozens of high elf girls in this team.
Each of them has the ability to start at LV5. If they take it seriously, killing zombies is simply like cutting grass.
Before, they were only taking care of the weaker ordinary girls, so they didn't let go.
Now that they are released, every one of them is like a tiger descending the mountain, and no zombie can survive wherever they pass.
In this way, a city that originally had a population of millions but now contained millions of zombies was completely cleaned up in one day with the full force of the girls.
As the last zombie was killed, Takumi also received a system prompt and received two rewards: the designated lottery and the world's goodwill.
Finally, Takumi once again performed large-scale purification to clean up the remaining viruses, making the zombie virus completely disappear from the world.
Takumi then started to take them back.
Then, it's time to open the blind boxes.
Takumi tried to renew the Grace for the girls.
The result surprised him. They all achieved a huge amount of great accomplishments.
After some updates, all the girls had been upgraded to a higher level.
Just like Takumi expected, it could not be improved by two levels at once.
Because Falna could only be upgraded level by level, even for himself, this made Takumi feel a little regretful.
He was sure that this wave of great achievements was definitely affected by overflow and other phenomena.
But there was no other way but to slowly improve it in the future.
At the same time, the four girls including Kanae Kocho also improved one level.
Especially Kanae, who was originally the highest level, had now been promoted to LV4!
She was only one level away from the fifth level she expected to be able to go back to hunt the Ghost King Muzan Kibutsuji.
Of course, if she wanted to, she could ask Takumi for help.
Otherwise, let the elf girls help.
It's just that she wanted to kill Muzan with her own hands, so she never made such a request.
Seeing this, Takumi roughly guessed what she was thinking, so he didn't offer to help.
After all this work, the girls finally returned home, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The last wave of rapid clearing of zombies left them in a daze.
After all, they had never experienced such a bloody battle before, and the excitement this time was a bit too much for them.
Fortunately, it's over now, and it's time to return to daily life.
The next day, Dimensional City resumed operations.
The girls all returned to their original posts, doing infrastructure construction when it was time to do it, and farming when it was time to farm.
It seemed like the training session that just ended yesterday never happened.
Only the changes in their temperaments made it clear that they were real.
At the same time, it was also on this day that Takumi made some adjustments to their work.
The first was the formation of a new group called the City Guards.
They are specifically responsible for the defense of Dimensional City, that is, guarding the gates, monitoring the surrounding area, and conducting daily patrols.
The current members are ten elf girls, as well as Kuro and the hell wolves.
The reason why this group was established was mainly because the sudden attack of the monster before caught Takumi somewhat by surprise.
In order to prevent similar situations from happening again, it is necessary to establish a city guard for defense and early warning.
Takumi also forgot about it before.
They were too focused on construction, or they underestimated the threat of the monsters in the Forest of Death.
So much so that he forgot that there was a similar patrol team composed of three girls from the angel tribe in the original work.
This wave was really a failure. He even failed to copy his homework.
Takumi didn't make any excuses, admitted his mistakes, corrected them immediately, and quickly formed a city guard.
However, Takumi didn't do it on a large scale. With the support of equipment, a ten-person team plus Kuro and Yuki would be basically enough.
Another one is engineering changes.
Autumn has officially entered Dimensional City, and some preparations need to be made for the coming cold winter.
There is no need to worry about daily life; heating, air conditioning, and furnace pipes are enough.
The only two issues that need to be worried about are the winter operation of hydropower stations and the winter supply of vegetables and other food.
The hydropower station might face problems if the rivers freeze and the remaining water storage in the reservoir is not enough to support the power generation demand throughout the winter.
For this reason, Takumi asked the engineering team to install more batteries in the power distribution station, intending to store a wave of electricity before winter to ensure the supply of electricity for daily use.
For vegetable supply, the main thing is to build greenhouses so that fresh vegetables can be produced in winter.
Well, tap water is also at risk of getting frozen and clogged.
However, this problem can be solved by using magic to maintain it, so don't worry for now.
