“Yeah? What’s going on?”

Dane said, “Robin, you should go take a look outside. Near the fence gate, something weird showed up out of nowhere. It kind of looks like a house but not really. Everyone’s out there talking about it.”

Outside the fence…

Robin remembered. Wasn’t that the automatic exchange machine that had just been built?

“Let’s go. We’ll check it out together.”

Dane couldn’t hide his excitement. “Robin, what do you think that thing is? It wasn’t there yesterday. It wasn t even there this morning when we were training. It just appeared out of nowhere. Someone even guessed it might’ve been dropped by aliens!”

Robin looked completely baffled.

She gave him a strange look. “You’re the alien. Your whole family are aliens!”

Now Dane was the one confused.

He scratched the back of his head, looking lost. Had he said something wrong?

Henry, on the other hand, suddenly realized something. He looked shocked and smacked Dane on the back. “Idiot. What aliens? This looks like something Robin made!”

“What…”

Dane’s eyes widened instantly.

But Henry didn’t bother explaining further. The group hurried forward, and by the time Robin reached, the automatic exchange machine, quite a few people had already gathered there.

And

Everyone had come to Shangri–La looking for Robin, only to find this huge thing that had suddenly appeared outside the fence.

“Robin, you’re finally here. What is this thing?”

“Yeah, we didn’t see this yesterday. It showed up overnight. It’s not really something aliens dropped off, right?”

Robin was speechless.

She shot Dane a look. Dane coughed awkwardly. “Aliens, seriously? Don’t make stuff up.”

“So what exactly is this thing?”

“I see windows on it. Looks like there’s rice, flour, and other food inside. There are numbers written below too. Is this some kind of vending machine?”

Chapter 134 The Automatic Exchange Machine

Robin curled her lips slightly. “You’re half right.”

Everyone turned to look at her.

“You can think of it as a vending machine. But more accurately, it’s an automatic exchange machine. It has anything you could want inside. As long as you have enough points, you can exchange for it.”

“Points? What are those?”

“I’ve never heard of that before. And it’s just a small building. Does it really have everything inside?”

“Then how do we earn these points?”

People started asking all at once. Robin said calmly, “From the moment you joined Shangri–La, points became the only currency here. As the first group of residents, each of you will receive 50 starting points to cover your basic needs early on. But if you want more points, you’ll have to earn them yourselves. The source of points is zombies. Killing the lowest–level zombie gives you one point. Zombies are constantly evolving. Starting from Level 2 zombies, crystals will form in their brains. Killing one Level 2 zombie gives you two points, and the crystal inside can be exchanged for three points. So in total, killing one Level 2 zombie gives you five points. The higher the level of the zombie you kill, the more points you earn. And the more you earn, the more you can get in return.”

After hearing this, someone muttered quietly, “So we still have to kill zombies… I thought we’d be safe once we got here…”

He thought he was being quiet, but Robin heard him clearly.

She smiled slightly. “You are safe here. My defense system already covers every corner of this place. Inside the zoo, you can live just like before the apocalypse. But don’t forget, your safety is something I provide. Even before the apocalypse, people had to work to earn money and exchange it for what they wanted. You don’t think everything here is just free, do you?”

The man’s face turned red, and others who had been feeling uneasy suddenly realized the same thing. They couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed of their earlier thoughts.

Even if Robin had so many resources, what did that have to do with them?

The fact that she provided them with a safe place to live was already more than enough. And this was the apocalypse. How could they hide under someone else’s protection and still expect everything to be handed to them?

“Then, Robin, how do we know how many points we have? What if I kill a zombie, but someone else claims they killed it? How am I supposed to prove it?”
