Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields-Chapter 358 - 347 Oasis Equipment_2

She took a moment to regain her composure: "Everything is fine. It’s just that someone didn’t do their job well and wanted to shift the blame to others."

"There is never a shortage of fools here."

He then spent the next 25 minutes or so explaining the new mission and changes to the island clearing plan.

Afterwards, he had Chen Youyou announce that this operation was recruiting civilian volunteers, and that they also needed workers, loaders, and so on.

As he was leaving, he asked Chen Youyou to urge Annie and her subordinates, as they were desperately in need of those rewards.

Meanwhile, at the Water Crane Race.

On a mountain peak, in the temple of the Wind Academy...

"Water... thirsty..."

An ape-like creature lay on a low wooden bed. Its once blood-stained gray fur was now clean, and its wounds had been meticulously treated.

"The supreme mentor has awakened!" said the senior student taking care of the old Water Crane.

Another ten students and three teachers rushed over.

This included an elder with black hair dressed in a blue robe.

"Mu! You finally made it through, you old thing!"

The black-haired elder smiled and handed him a cup of water mixed with medicines to help him recover faster.

"You’re the... old thing..." the aged supreme mentor chuckled softly and drank the water from the cup.

"Did we win?... No!? Is the situation really that bad?"

"The Lord is dead, the Ark was swallowed by the island," the black-haired elder said with his head lowered.

"How could this happen?" Mu murmured, falling back onto the pillow.

"They crossed the mountains and infiltrated the city. By the time the army realized what happened, it was too late. We saved as many people as we could, then hid in the mountains."

"Then we still have a chance," the supreme mentor sighed in relief. "How many students have we lost?"

"Half."

"I see... What about the situation in the other academies?"

"We don’t know, we haven’t left this mountain, we’ve been busy healing and fighting off attacks.

The undead have tried to storm this mountain twice, but both times they failed. Last night, they just surrounded us and did not attack again."

The black-haired elder had three deep wounds and more than a dozen minor injuries, but for his students, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

He had to lead by example, showing them that everything would be fine. They would persevere and find a way to solve the problem.

"You’re doing the right thing." Mu sighed. "Now, we need to recover our physical strength."

"We don’t have time for that...

There are many survivors who escaped from the city hiding with us in the academy.

There are too many mouths to feed, and not enough supplies."

"Reduce the civilians’ rations, give them only enough to survive, no more than that.

Form a small team to scout the mountain’s base and the outskirts of the city.

Check the fields, hopefully, we can harvest all the crops before the island contaminates the soil."

"We will do that, but... among those in the city, there is a High Priest, as well as a few basic priests.

There are also students and teachers from other academies, most of them injured, as well as soldiers from the army. How should we arrange them?"

"Only give enough food to those who can help; others get the minimum basic rations."

Mu knew this was harsh, but if they wanted any hope of survival, they needed experienced warriors.

~~~~~~

"Come out, stupid bird." Lin Yi appeared after the castle’s roof and shouted loudly.

"Caw caw!" The Phoenix materialized in the air.

"What is it, Creator?"

"Is there any way to use teleportation for me and my people in enemy territory?"

"I don’t know, the Shelter won’t tell me. It demands fifty thousand Coins just to give a hint."

"...Alright, pay that bastard."

The bird was silent for about half a minute, then cawed and began to speak via telepathy.

"When the Shelter upgrades to the next few Levels, there will be a batch of new items in the store. You can find what you need there."

"The next few Levels? Specifically, how many? The next Level is Level 18, will I unlock it then?"

"The Shelter wants more money..."

"Fine! I hope it chokes on the money!"

"Levels 19 and 20."

"Is there a way to get it in advance?"

"...Thirty million Coins."

"Are you both crazy?!"

"I’m just repeating..."

"Alright!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth, ready to endure the pain of thirty million Coins being deducted from his account.

"When the Shelter upgrades to Level 18, new items will appear in the store, but the system will not give you any rewards for the next three Levels, including Level 20."

"What do you mean by Level 18? Why not now? For god’s sake!"

"Updates only occur when the Shelter upgrades, it’s the rule."

"Don’t talk to me about damn rules! You just broke one of them!"

"The Shelter resolutely refuses to handle it any other way. I am also powerless."

"I’m going to gather some shards now, I’ve already completed 54% of the experience needed to level up. I’ll also have civilian volunteers quickly level up, you may leave now."

Lin Yi waved his hand, and the bird dissolved into thousands of glowing spheres and vanished.

He then entered the Space-Time Beacon, finding himself floating in the Sea of Space-Time.

There were many shards within the Harpoon’s range, so he wasn’t too worried about earning experience for the Shelter.

He checked on the little stingray.

This little creature had grown to three times its original size over the past few days. It flew around the Shelter and occasionally devoured a Zombie.

After finishing things in the Sea of Space-Time, Lin Yi returned to the Treasure Room and continued to inspect the rewards.

Lin Yi continued to study various workshops.

The Child of the Sun only had the Light Altar and Tower of Light. However, the Auris Race had some interesting things, including a "Tower of Power."

It was a monument capable of gathering energy and producing Magic Crystals.

The Auris people used these Magic Crystals to replace Energy Cores.

The best thing was that if you placed a bunch of Towers of Power together like Stonehenge, it would significantly increase the speed of crystal formation.

There were also some devices for processing rocks and minerals that could extract metal fragments from rocks and even soil.

Then, as he continued checking rewards, he discovered a device called "Oasis."

The Oasis was specially designed for the rare "Savior" Skills. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

It was used to create an area where all Zombie viruses were eradicated.

People, soil, water, air—everything within the Oasis would be purified.

It could also be upgraded through workshops to gain new features.

There were also some common system devices and other good items.

An interesting item was the Siege Barrier, a device that could generate a protective energy Dome.

There was also a bomb, a genuine Level 4 bomb.

It was called the "Destruction," and from the system’s description, it could easily blow a five-story building into a heap of rubble.

Next came the good stuff: six bottles of Evolution Potion, two Level 4 and seven Level 3 formulas/blueprints, and 34 Mage Pendants.

Last but not least, three vehicles, including two armored personnel carriers and a Short Sword Vehicle.

The armored personnel carrier was called the "Cloth Armored Combat Vehicle," as versatile as the Short Sword Vehicle, carrying twenty people and having decent Armor.

There was also a device similar to the Siege Barrier and a Plasma Cannon.

Then there were two AP-1 Blueprints and a formula for Healing Ointment.

This was a very good ointment for use in the wild, with quick blood-stopping and wound-disinfecting capabilities, allowing wounds to heal faster.

But it had an unpleasant side effect—it left scars... very ugly scars.

Only a Doctor could remove these scars.

The Level 4 items were somewhat disappointing.

The first blueprint was a design for "Annihilator 2" Armor, an upgrade to the "Annihilator" Armor they had long had in the Shelter.

The original "Annihilator" Armor was ridiculously expensive, and no one ever touched it.

780,000 Coins...

Lin Yi didn’t even bother checking how much the upgrade cost.

The final blueprint was a design for a "Red Beast" plasma shotgun, and it was frighteningly expensive.

Overall, the Shelter received 221 craft workbenches, fifteen workshops, 23 small production devices, and fourteen other craft devices.

Lin Yi didn’t want to do more detailed statistics now, he had already spent too much time on this, and he was about to launch an assault on the enemy territory.

He directly looked at the Skills, and as it turned out... there were quite a few skills.
