Apocalypse: I Built a Supreme Shelter One Year in Advance

Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Shelter Control Center



In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

On this day.

Xu Zhengyang was reading some knowledge that might be useful in the apocalypse when suddenly, a long-awaited system notification flashed before his eyes!

[Limited-time Side Quest: Renovation (Completed)]

[Reward: Shelter Control Center]

With the appearance of the system prompt, a sci-fi-looking laptop materialized in front of Xu Zhengyang.

"Is this the Shelter Control Center?"

Xu Zhengyang said as he opened the detailed attributes of the Shelter Control Center: [Shelter Control Center] (To be installed) [Effect: When placed in the shelter, you can control all functions of the shelter from the control center]

(Note: Installing the control center requires clearing out a space of at least 25 square meters in the shelter) [Evaluation: Core! Core!]

After reading the attributes of the Shelter Control Center, Xu Zhengyang couldn't wait to return to his shelter and set it up! Just then.

Another system notification appeared before Xu Zhengyang:

[Main Quest: The Door (Completed)]

[Reward: Physical Enhancement Potion]

"Uncle Chen works fast!"

Xu Zhengyang was thrilled to see the sudden system prompt, so he immediately checked the attributes of the Physical Enhancement Potion: [Physical Enhancement Potion]

[Effect: Permanently increases stamina by 1 point upon consumption]

Xu Zhengyang had already consumed a strengthening potion once, so he didn't hesitate at all and immediately downed the Physical Enhancement Potion.

After his stamina increased from 0.7 to 1.7.

Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction and then opened the task list to check the new main quest:

[Main Quest: Communication]

[You have established a foothold in the apocalypse.

But as one person, it's hard to manage everything alone; you need to communicate with survivors from other gathering points to increase your chances of survival]

[Task Objective: Collect or manufacture a radio station, and reserve 3 square meters of space in the shelter for a communication room]

[Task Reward: [Knowledge Card: Mastery of Morse Code]]

"A radio station, huh?"

Xu Zhengyang nodded after seeing the task objective, then immediately took out his phone, logged onto Jingdong, and purchased the highest-spec radio station, selecting next-day delivery.

Just after Xu Zhengyang placed the order for the radio station.

Chen Yong's call came in, "Ah Zheng, I've finished your work. When are you free to come and check it out?"

"Uncle Chen, hold on, I'll be right over!"

After saying that.

Xu Zhengyang quickly put on his clothes and rushed downstairs to hail a taxi to the lumber factory! "Look at this door.

I had my son run a trip to Chen Cang, and it was custom-made at the titanium factory over there, all cast in one piece!

Just this door cost nearly a million!"

"I made a total of seven independent air ducts for air circulation, and all the outlets are hidden.

Each duct is sufficient to handle the air circulation of the entire shelter; even if one or two ducts malfunction, it won't be a big deal."

"Waterproof, soundproof, heat-insulated; everything I could think of has been added to the walls!"

"I installed low-oxygen alarms every three meters in the shelter. If the oxygen level in the underground space drops below normal, it will immediately sound an alarm!"

"Although I installed central air conditioning in the shelter, I also put in underfloor heating; it's just a matter of laying some pipes, not much work.

But for safety, I didn't dare to install a gas boiler for the underfloor heating; after all, ventilation underground is inconvenient, and we need to conserve oxygen, so I installed an electric boiler instead."

"For the power distribution room, I had my son specifically buy the best blade battery available now, and I installed a 5000-degree backup power supply here.

Even if there's a power outage outside, the backup power is enough to sustain the shelter's electricity needs for a month."

"The signal relay is also set to the highest standard; no matter which corner of the shelter you are in, you can ensure you receive full-strength 5G signal!"

...

I have to say.

Chen Yong's considerations were indeed thorough, and Xu Zhengyang was very satisfied with the shelter he had built!

"Good, good, good!"

Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction.

Then he promptly transferred the final payment to Chen Yong's company account, "Uncle Chen, you really helped me a lot this time!"

Seeing Xu Zhengyang settle the final payment so readily.

Chen Yong's eyes squinted with joy as he said, "Hey, this is what I do; you should be the one helping me a lot."

After saying that.

Chen Yong pulled Xu Zhengyang outside, "Come on, let's go to my place for a simple dinner tonight, just me, your aunt, and your brother and sister-in-law."

Speaking of which.

Chen Yong lowered his voice and mysteriously said to Xu Zhengyang, "Your aunt even prepared some good food that you usually can't get a hold of, let's have a good drink tonight!"

The shelter had been completed.

And since the radio station Xu Zhengyang just bought wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, he readily agreed to Chen Yong, "Alright, I haven't tasted Auntie's cooking in a long time!"

...

Four hours later, at Chen Yong's home, Xu Zhengyang was full and satisfied! Chen Yong wanted to keep Xu Zhengyang at home to sleep, but Xu Zhengyang insisted on leaving.

So Chen Yong personally escorted Xu Zhengyang downstairs.

In the community.

Xu Zhengyang looked at Chen Yong's swaying figure and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Chen, are you still sober? I need to talk to you about something."

"Where are we now?"

Chen Yong smiled, a proud yet bitter expression on his face, "I've trained my drinking capacity to deal with those big leaders!

Today we're just among ourselves, so let's enjoy the festivities; usually, this is just the first round for your uncle!"

Xu Zhengyang nodded at this and then said, "Uncle, don't you have a piece of land in the suburbs?

You'd better build a basement there, the sturdier the better."

"Are you..."

Before Chen Yong could finish his sentence, Xu Zhengyang immediately interrupted him, "Uncle Chen, don't ask me any questions; I won't answer you.

I can only say this much.

Believe it or not..."

At this point.

Xu Zhengyang spread his hands, stopping the conversation.

To have built such a large business, Chen Yong was certainly not a fool.

So Chen Yong, with a grateful expression, patted Xu Zhengyang on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, Ah Zheng, I understand."

"Well, I'll head back now." Xu Zhengyang said.

"Be careful on the way." Chen Yong replied.

*An hour later.

After Xu Zhengyang took a taxi back to the lumber factory, the first thing he did was dive into the shelter and retrieve the Shelter Control Center he had obtained during the day!

[Do you want to install the Shelter Control Center here?]

[Warning: Once the Shelter Control Center is installed, it cannot be undone. Please proceed with caution!]
