Current: 100/100 (Max overflow)] [Evaluation: In the apocalypse, a bowl of hot stew is more precious than gold.] Jake drained the last of the broth, feeling a light sweat bead on his forehead.

You have been awarded a Level 1 energy shield, which is capable of repelling zombies within a 16-foot radius. Your second task is to rescue 20 people during the apocalypse." Damn. It was only a 16-foot energy shield. I didn't have time to complain. The most urgent thing right now was setting up a safe house.
