Apocalypse: I Built a Supreme Shelter One Year in Advance

"Confirm!"

As Xu Zhengyang pressed the confirm button.

The control center in front of him began to float, suspended in mid-air.

Immediately after.

Soft silver light radiated from the control center, spreading outward bit by bit, eventually filling the entire shelter!

Moments later.

After a dazzling flash!

The entire shelter instantly returned to its original state, except that where Xu Zhengyang had just placed the Shelter Control Center, a cylindrical metal room with a diameter of five meters appeared.

This small room was entirely silver, shimmering with a metallic luster, extending from the floor to the ceiling, seamlessly integrating with Xu Zhengyang's shelter! "Click!"

The door of the room opened, and at the same time, a system prompt appeared before Xu Zhengyang: [You have successfully installed the control center for your shelter.]

Seeing the prompt.

Xu Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly entered the control center.

Upon entering.

Xu Zhengyang discovered that the walls inside the control center were a complete display screen.

At this moment, the control center had taken over the shelter's monitoring system, and all the surveillance footage appeared on the display screen.

Not only that.

In a blank area, all the information about the entire shelter was listed: from the most basic temperature and humidity to power reserves, even the air composition was clearly laid out, easy to understand! Moreover.

Xu Zhengyang found that after installing the Shelter Control Center, all the equipment in the shelter was connected to the control center in a way he couldn't yet comprehend.

As long as Xu Zhengyang wished.

He could completely use the control center to manipulate all the powered devices within the shelter!

"Truly worthy of the reward for a time-limited side mission!"

Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction, then directly returned to his bedroom, washed up briefly, and fell asleep.

*The next day.

Xu Zhengyang was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by the ringtone of his phone.

Upon answering the call.

It turned out that the radio station he ordered from Jingdong yesterday had arrived at the lumber factory's entrance.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhengyang washed up and changed clothes at the fastest speed of his life.

Ten minutes later.

He pushed a cart, pulling a large wooden box back into his shelter.

The main mission's communication requirements were not high.

It only required a radio station and a designated space of three square meters within the shelter.

So Xu Zhengyang simply pushed the radio station to the signal relay under the northwest corner of the shelter, connected it to power, and the system subtitles popped up before him: [Main Mission: Communication (Completed)]

[Reward: [Skill Card · Proficient in Morse Code]]

As the system prompt refreshed.

Xu Zhengyang now held a blue card the size of an ID card in his hand.

[Skill Card · Proficient in Morse Code]

[Effect: Instantly master Morse code upon use]

Xu Zhengyang was already accustomed to the wonders of the system.

So after reading the attributes of the knowledge card, Xu Zhengyang directly chose to use it.

"Whoosh!"

As the card in his hand transformed into a blue light and surged into Xu Zhengyang's forehead.

He instantly mastered Morse code, something that others might take months to fully grasp!

After completing all this.

Xu Zhengyang immediately opened his task list to check the latest main mission:

[Main Mission: Power]

[You have a shelter as solid as a fortress, capable of withstanding a nuclear blast. You possess a radio station, which allows you to exchange information with other survivors outside.

However, the prerequisite for maintaining the normal operation of this shelter is sufficient power!]

[Task Objective 1: Find or create a power generation device with a total power output of no less than 1000W/hour]

[Task Objective 2: Find or create an energy storage device that can store at least 100 kilowatt-hours] (Completed) [Task Reward: [Strength Enhancement Potion]]

"This task is not difficult at all."

Upon seeing the new task, Xu Zhengyang directly opened his phone and placed an order for a 12-kilowatt all-copper silent generator from Jingdong's self-operated store.

Seeing that his order had been processed, it would arrive by tomorrow at the latest.

Xu Zhengyang happily prepared to go out for a nice meal, then come back to play a few games to relax.

Suddenly.

A line of red subtitles flashed before his eyes:

[Sudden Time-Limited Mission: Weapon]

[Although you already have a fortress-like shelter capable of withstanding a nuclear blast, you cannot hide in the shelter forever.

You need a sufficiently powerful weapon to ensure your safety when going outside.]

[Task Objective: Collect or manufacture a ranged weapon with kinetic energy greater than 300 joules, and equip the weapon with 30 rounds of ammunition.]

[Task Time Limit: 23:59:57]

[Task Reward: [Skill Card · Shooting Proficiency]]

Seeing the newly appeared sudden time-limited mission, Xu Zhengyang felt a surge of joy; he knew rewards were coming again!

But when Xu Zhengyang saw the specific content of this sudden task, his expression instantly fell.

A ranged weapon with kinetic energy reaching 300 joules—this could only be a gun!

In the apocalypse.

Xu Zhengyang might be able to trade various supplies from his shelter for a gun.

But now.

If Xu Zhengyang were in North America, completing this task wouldn't be too difficult, but in China...

"Even if I buy a plane ticket to North America now, there wouldn't be enough time; I'd miss the deadline as soon as I got off the plane!"

Xu Zhengyang's troubled face was almost oozing despair!

"Wait!"

At that moment, Xu Zhengyang's eyes lit up as he looked at the [Handicrafting] in his skill bar, "I may not be able to buy one, but I can make one myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Xu Zhengyang immediately went out, riding his little electric scooter towards the nearest hardware store!

*Electrical tape.

Battery pack.

DN20 seamless steel pipe.

...

After Xu Zhengyang bought all the materials he needed from the hardware store, he hurried back to his shelter.

A few years ago.

When Chao Zhe successfully took his revenge, his self-made weapon, Anbe Qie, also became legendary alongside him! The principle of Anbe Qie was quite simple.

Almost anyone could find the corresponding materials in reality to make it, and with the [Handicrafting] skill, Xu Zhengyang was no exception!

Because of this.

After bringing the materials back, Xu Zhengyang took only a few minutes to successfully replicate an Anbe Qie in his shelter!

Once Xu Zhengyang loaded 2mm stainless steel pellets into the steel pipe of the Anbe Qie and connected the power wires to the trigger.

A red light flashed.

Xu Zhengyang's long-awaited task prompt indeed appeared before him:

[You have completed the sudden time-limited mission: Weapon]

[Reward: [Skill Card · Shooting Proficiency]]
