Apocalypse: I Built a Supreme Shelter One Year in Advance

Compared to before, buying a car is now a very convenient thing.

Once the money was in place.

Xu Zhengyang completed the car purchase and insurance procedures in just two hours, paying in full for a high-spec Wuling Hongguang MINI.

Although Xu Zhengyang had held a C1 driver's license for five years.

Since leaving driving school, he hadn't touched a steering wheel, let alone driven on the road.

For his own safety and that of others.

Xu Zhengyang strongly requested the staff at the Wuling dealership to help him drive the car back to the lumber factory.

After returning to the lumber factory and sending off the dealership staff.

He immediately stored his newly purchased vehicle in the Dimensional Space Pocket and returned to his shelter.

*Inside the shelter.

At this moment, the Engineering Robot had already built a small garage here according to the program Xu Zhengyang had preset before leaving.

Just as Xu Zhengyang took his new Wuling Hongguang MINI out of the dimensional space and placed it in the newly built garage, the system prompt appeared: [Timed Side Mission: Garage and Vehicle (Completed)]

[Reward: [Skill Card: Driving Proficiency]]

With the appearance of the system prompt.

A new skill card appeared in the palm of Xu Zhengyang's hand.

Immediately after.

Xu Zhengyang unhesitatingly used the newly acquired skill card and then jumped into the driver's seat.

The moment Xu Zhengyang grasped the steering wheel, he felt as if the car had become an extension of his body! Xu Zhengyang was certain.

As long as he wanted, he could completely manipulate this vehicle to perform all the maneuvers he could imagine! An hour ago.

Xu Zhengyang had sat in the driver's seat with an inexplicable fear, afraid to drive on the road.

But now.

Xu Zhengyang's heart was completely consumed by a strong desire to drive that was bursting forth! So Xu Zhengyang immediately stored the car in the Dimensional Space Pocket, returned to the surface, and prepared to test drive!

...

Three hours later.

With a beautiful drift, Xu Zhengyang finally squeezed out the last bit of power from the car, bringing it to a steady stop in the yard of the lumber factory.

"Truly a driving expert!" Xu Zhengyang exclaimed excitedly.

He had never imagined that driving could be such a joyful experience.

If it weren't for the fact that his car had run out of power, he would have wanted to play for another three hours!

"Let's call it a day for now!"

Xu Zhengyang said, feeling unsatisfied, and then stored the car in the Dimensional Space Pocket to take it back to the garage in the shelter to recharge.

Immediately after.

Xu Zhengyang set a new construction program for the Engineering Robot, instructing it to build a new compartment in the shelter to serve as a workshop, before heading off to take a shower and sleep.

*The next day.

Once again, it was the familiar phone call, and the familiar Jingdong delivery guy.

But this time, the delivery guy's small truck was loaded with half a truckload of goods! These were all items Xu Zhengyang had specifically ordered for building the workshop.

This time, Xu Zhengyang had ordered a larger and more varied selection of items, including quite a few large pieces.

So even with Xu Zhengyang helping out, it took him and the delivery guy over half an hour to unload everything in the yard.

After bidding farewell to the delivery guy.

Xu Zhengyang sighed and then used his Dimensional Space Pocket to pack up the unloaded items again, transporting them to the shelter.

After a night's time.

Xu Zhengyang's Engineering Robot had successfully partitioned a workshop inside the shelter and connected the electrical circuits.

So Xu Zhengyang moved the tools he had purchased online into the workshop, set up the power supply, and the system prompt appeared as he had hoped: [Main Mission: Workshop (Completed)]

[Reward: Agility Enhancement Potion]

Unlike before.

This time, after the main mission appeared, several golden system prompts followed! [Timed Challenge Mission: Library (In Progress)]

[Your speed in building and upgrading the shelter has exceeded everyone's expectations, so now you can attempt to challenge higher levels of spiritual pursuit while ensuring your basic needs are met!]

[Mission Objective: Build a library that belongs to you]

[Mission Requirements: Build your private library, with an area of no less than 25 square meters, and ensure the library is light-proof, temperature-controlled, and humidity-controlled.

Collect related books on the eight major arts: literature, music, dance, painting, sculpture, drama, architecture, and film.

Each type must have no less than five hundred books, and the pages must be complete, without missing pages, stains, or damage.]

[Mission Time Limit: 239 hours, 59 minutes, 56 seconds]

[Mission Reward: Building Effect · Calm and Collected]

Xu Zhengyang never expected that after receiving the Agility Enhancement Potion, he would trigger a timed challenge mission! Although Xu Zhengyang didn't know what the building effect was.

Since this mission was so difficult and advanced, its reward must be quite valuable!

"A library, huh?"

Xu Zhengyang said, immediately giving instructions to the Engineering Robot to partition a new room in the shelter.

At this moment.

Xu Zhengyang realized with some annoyance that his three hundred square meter underground shelter had very little remaining space...

If the system issued more construction-related missions later, he would have to expand the shelter's area!

"Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it!"

Xu Zhengyang said.

He immediately went to the garage to store his car in the Dimensional Space Pocket, then set out to drive to the Xinhua Bookstore in Baicheng.

If it were the apocalypse.

Finding the books needed to build a library would have required a lot of effort.

But now.

Upon arriving at the Xinhua Bookstore and explaining his needs to the staff.

In just half an hour.

More than a dozen staff members arrived, each pushing a cart piled high with books that looked like small mountains in front of Xu Zhengyang.

At that moment.

The staff member at the front pulled out a stack of book lists filled with titles and said to Xu Zhengyang, "Hello, Mr. Xu, we have found and organized all the books you requested.

Here is the book list; would you like to check it?"

"No need, I trust your professionalism," Xu Zhengyang replied.

Xu Zhengyang knew nothing about art.

Even if the manager of the Xinhua Bookstore mixed in some subpar books, Xu Zhengyang's ability to discern would not allow him to tell the difference.

So Xu Zhengyang simply decided to go big.

He bought a thousand different books for each of the eight major arts! That way, even if the manager of the Xinhua Bookstore mixed in some poor-quality books, it would still be enough for Xu Zhengyang to complete this timed challenge mission!

After saying this.

Xu Zhengyang handed the manager a note with the address of the lumber factory, saying, "I can't fit all these books in my car, so please help me arrange for delivery."
