Apocalypse: I Built a Supreme Shelter One Year in Advance

[Heavenly Unity Order Token]

[Effect: Wearing this token increases the Mental Strength limit by 2 points]

[Evaluation: A Taoist token passed down from ancient times, still surrounded by a mysterious aura]

"This..."

Xu Zhengyang stared at the attributes of the Heavenly Unity Order Token, unable to say a word for a long time.

After a while.

Xu Zhengyang finally managed a wry smile and said, "Uncle Chen really surprised me!

This thing...

Is indeed what the 'Boss' needs."

As he spoke, Xu Zhengyang directly tucked the Heavenly Unity Order Token into the inner pocket of his clothing.

With the sudden increase of two points in mental strength.

Xu Zhengyang was confident.

Now, even if he operated two Engineering Robots simultaneously for a whole day and night, he could manage it with ease!

"Not bad!"

Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction and immediately rode his little electric scooter towards the Baicheng building materials market.

*Evening.

After moving all the building materials he bought back into the shelter, Xu Zhengyang immediately used the Dimensional Space Pocket to bring the Engineering Robot into his shelter.

He filled the material storage of the Engineering Robot with various raw materials.

Xu Zhengyang then controlled the Engineering Robot to start drilling straight down in the northeast corner of the shelter!

Although Xu Zhengyang's shelter was made of C120 concrete, which had fine copper wires mixed in to prevent cracking.

However.

The Engineering Robot was a product of the future.

Its drill bit was so hard that it exceeded the 21st-century understanding of materials! Because of this.

With a loud noise, sparks flew around the Engineering Robot, and soon a three-meter diameter hole was drilled!

In just a moment.

Even a shell might not be able to breach the shelter, but the Engineering Robot had created a deep well!

The Engineering Robot continued to drill down.

Xu Zhengyang used his Dimensional Space Pocket to continuously transport the excavated soil outside the shelter.

As a result.

In just two hours, Xu Zhengyang successfully drilled a vertical well with a diameter of three meters and a depth of over twenty meters!

After confirming that the well had reached water through the Engineering Robot's sensors.

Xu Zhengyang immediately controlled the Engineering Robot to return to the shelter, then added rebar and cement to the material storage, and directed it to pour the well walls to prevent collapse!

This was a meticulous task, not to be rushed.

Moreover, the cement needed to harden.

By the time Xu Zhengyang completely finished constructing the vertical well in the shelter, a week had already passed.

Finally.

When Xu Zhengyang threw the pump's pipe into the well and began to draw groundwater continuously into the shelter's water reservoir.

He was rewarded with the system prompt indicating the completion of the task:

[Main Quest: Source of Life (Completed)]

[Quest Reward: Intelligence Enhancement Potion]

Xu Zhengyang downed the newly acquired Intelligence Enhancement Potion in one gulp, then immediately opened the quest list to check his tasks: [Main Quest: Workshop (In Progress)]

[A sturdy shelter, ample food reserves, sufficient electricity, clean water source...

Your shelter has initially acquired the ability to survive in the wasteland.

However.

No matter how durable the items are, there will always come a day when they break. You need to prepare for the future by building a workshop to repair and create various necessities for life and production.]

[Quest Objective: Build a workshop inside the shelter]

[Work Area: Workbench]

[Tools: Hand saw, hammer, electric drill, pliers... (Click to view details)]

[Miscellaneous: Vacuum cleaner, anvil, grinder... (Click to view details)]

[Quest Reward: Agility Enhancement Potion]

Upon seeing the new main quest.

Xu Zhengyang felt a tightness in his chest.

Although he had initially dug out some extra space when building the shelter.

Looking at the current situation.

If more tasks for constructing functional rooms appeared, there would be no place left to accommodate them! "It seems the shelter will need a second expansion soon!" Xu Zhengyang found himself with a happy dilemma.

That said.

Building the workshop still had enough space.

There were still leftover materials from when he built the well, so Xu Zhengyang set the program and let the Engineering Robot start working in the shelter to create a small compartment with a five-meter side length.

Tools like the anvil, electric drill, vacuum cleaner, and grinder would be hard to come by in the apocalypse.

But now.

Xu Zhengyang only needed to place an order at the Jingdong self-operated store! Just as Xu Zhengyang took out his phone.

System subtitles flashed before his eyes:

[Limited-Time Side Quest: Garage and Vehicle (In Progress)]

[Your shelter is now safe enough, but when you go out, relying solely on your legs makes it difficult to escape from zombies and monsters, and you cannot carry more supplies. Therefore, you need to find a car to bring back to the shelter and build a garage for your vehicle.]

[Quest Objective 1: Obtain a car]

[Quest Objective 2: Build a garage inside the shelter to park, maintain, and repair your vehicle]

[Quest Time Limit: 71 hours 59 minutes 58 seconds]

[Quest Reward: Skill Card: Driving Proficiency]

Xu Zhengyang did not expect to trigger another limited-time side quest.

Without hesitation.

He immediately canceled the program he had just set for the Engineering Robot and instructed it to start working on the garage!

After completing all this.

Xu Zhengyang quickly ordered a ride-hailing service and eagerly sped towards the Baicheng Auto City!

On the way.

Xu Zhengyang looked out the window, his thoughts drifting...

There were no oil fields or refineries in Baicheng.

Once the apocalypse hit.

Without fuel tankers transporting various oil products from other places, the gas stations around Baicheng would soon be swept clean by those with ill intentions.

So...

Do I have to buy an electric car?

As Xu Zhengyang pondered, he made a decision and said to the driver, "Take me to the Wuling 4S store."

...

The Wuling Hongguang MINI is a model from Wuling.

This is a pure electric vehicle, with a maximum range of over three hundred kilometers.

But these are just minor details; Xu Zhengyang did not care.

Regardless of whether the apocalypse had come or not.

Xu Zhengyang could not stray too far from his shelter, so even a range of only one hundred kilometers would be more than enough for him.

The main reason he liked this car.

Was that the Wuling Hongguang MINI's compact size could fit directly into his Dimensional Space Pocket! This way.

Even if Xu Zhengyang wanted to use the car when going out, he wouldn't need to move the soil covering the hidden entrance of the shelter; he could simply transfer it through the Dimensional Space Pocket, which was both convenient and safe, and it would allow him to make the garage smaller, saving some space in the shelter!
