Apocalypse: I Built a Supreme Shelter One Year in Advance

Fortunately, the task for the safe zone did not specify the material, thickness, or sturdiness of the walls.

It only required that there be a fence or wall surrounding one's safe house.

The collapsed areas added up to only about ten meters.

So Xu Zhengyang hurriedly found some discarded wooden materials from his family's warehouse, pushed them to the gap in the wall with a cart, and began hammering away.

In just about an hour's time.

Xu Zhengyang had patched up the wooden fence at the breach in the wall.

Looking at his masterpiece, Xu Zhengyang wiped the sweat from his forehead with satisfaction, then opened his task list:

Sure enough!

The task for the [Safe Zone] now showed (Completed).

[You have built a wall with certain defensive capabilities around your safe house, granting you a relatively safe area for development.]

[Main Quest [Safe Zone] Completed!]

[Skill Acquired: [Handicrafting]]

With a series of subtitles appearing, Xu Zhengyang felt a rush of warmth in his head as information flooded into his mind.

At that moment.

Xu Zhengyang had a thought and looked down at himself.

Sure enough!

Under the skill [Detection], a "[Xu Zhengyang]+" appeared next to his name.

[Xu Zhengyang]

[Race: Human (Male)]

[Attributes]

(Strength: 0.8 / Agility: 1.1 / Intelligence: 1 / Spirit: 1.2 / Stamina: 0.7)

[Skills]

(Detection: You can view detailed attributes if your spirit check is below 1.2) (Handicrafting: You can skillfully use various tools to create what you want) [Evaluation: An adult male in a long-term sub-healthy state]

"So Detection has this kind of wonderful use. Can I now go to Panjiayuan to pick up bargains?" Xu Zhengyang thought whimsically as he opened his task list:

[Main Quests]

[Refuge] (Completed) [Preparedness] (Completed) [Safe Zone] (Completed) [Cultivation] (In Progress)...

[Time-Limited Side Quest]

[Nutritional Balance] (In Progress)...

After opening the task list, Xu Zhengyang was surprised to find not only main quests but also an additional time-limited side quest! So he quickly clicked on the details of both tasks:

[Main Quest: Cultivation]

[You have finally established a foothold in the wasteland, but the wasteland is not only dangerous, but resources are also limited and will eventually run out.

You need to cultivate farmland within your safe zone to be self-sufficient.]

[Task Objective: Cultivate a piece of farmland and plant any staple crop.]

[Task Reward: Skill [Gardening]]

[Time-Limited Side Quest: Nutritional Balance]

[Having a monotonous diet will inevitably lead to diseases such as scurvy, beriberi, and night blindness.

For your health, and to enjoy nutritious and delicious meals.

Please build a vegetable greenhouse of no less than 50 square meters within the safe zone and plant at least 15 types of vegetables within 10 days.]

[Task Time Limit: 239 hours 59 minutes 56 seconds]

[Task Reward: GX-1 Engineering Robot]

"An engineering robot?!"

Xu Zhengyang did not expect that the reward for this time-limited side quest would actually be an engineering robot!

Although Xu Zhengyang did not know what the GX-1 represented, the ordinary main quest reward of the Dimensional Space Pocket was already so good.

The rewards for the more difficult time-limited side quests would naturally be even better! *In the apocalypse.

If one wanted to collect enough materials within ten days to build a vegetable greenhouse covering an area of fifty square meters and plant fifteen different types of vegetables inside, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But now.

Xu Zhengyang simply went to the agricultural supply station early the next morning, spent some money, and bought enough materials.

Not only that.

With Xu Zhengyang's financial persuasion, he also brought back four experienced masters from the agricultural supply station to the lumber factory with him.

With the help of the masters, in just one day's time.

A steel-framed structure, wrapped in a composite polyethylene film, was completed as a vegetable greenhouse! After settling the final payment and sending off the masters.

Xu Zhengyang ordered takeout and quickly had a couple of bites, then picked up the hoe he had bought during the day and got busy in the vegetable greenhouse.

Chili peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, spinach...

Not a single mistake, everything was in order!

Although the vegetable greenhouse was only fifty square meters.

But after a series of farm work including loosening the soil, sowing seeds, watering, and fertilizing, Xu Zhengyang spent a full two hours before he had planted fifteen types of vegetables he loved to eat, just before midnight.

Hard work pays off! As soon as Xu Zhengyang finished his work, a series of subtitles appeared before him: [Time-Limited Side Quest: Nutritional Balance (Completed)]

[Reward Acquired: GX-1 Engineering Robot]

With the appearance of the subtitles.

A flash of white light! A robot over three meters tall, with a tracked lower body and four mechanical arms on the upper body, appeared out of thin air in front of him! Not only that.

A controller the size of a remote control also appeared in Xu Zhengyang's palm.

"This…"

Seeing a product that completely surpassed the times, Xu Zhengyang was exhilarated! So he quickly checked the detailed attributes of the engineering robot: [GX-1 Engineering Robot]

[Attributes]

(Strength: 10 / Agility: 2 / Intelligence: 1 / Spirit: 0 / Stamina: 10)

[Skills]

(Transformation: The mechanical arms of the engineering robot can be disassembled and combined into various engineering arms) (Construction: The engineering robot is proficient in various construction techniques) [Evaluation: The most highly rated household engineering robot of the 22nd century]

Looking at the engineering robot the size of a small mountain, Xu Zhengyang glanced at the controller in his hand.

As he focused his attention on the controller.

In the next moment.

Xu Zhengyang felt as if a part of his consciousness was projected onto the circuit board of the engineering robot in front of him through the controller.

Immediately after.

The circuit board converted the electrical signals into neural signals, establishing a "mirror" of the engineering robot in Xu Zhengyang's brain.

So that Xu Zhengyang could tangibly feel the presence of the engineering robot, even sensing the rotation of the engine inside.

It was a wonderful feeling.

It was as if a robotic doppelgänger had appeared out of nowhere! Although there was no manual, the moment a part of Xu Zhengyang's consciousness projected onto the engineering robot.

Xu Zhengyang immediately understood all the functions of this engineering robot and mastered the highest level of control over it! Excited with his new toy, Xu Zhengyang was overjoyed.

Although this was an engineering robot, using it for plowing and tilling was no problem at all.

So under Xu Zhengyang's control.

The engineering robot rumbled over to the newly built vegetable greenhouse and began to till the soil in the yard.

With the help of the engineering robot.

In just one hour, Xu Zhengyang cultivated a piece of farmland in the yard that met the task requirements.
