Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields-Chapter 374 - 360: The Development History of the Shelter

Chapter 374: Chapter 360: The Development History of the Shelter

Lin Yi reached into the green box, and then...

Another biomass factory!

Open another one...

[Magic Converter]

Stores magic power and converts it into electricity as needed. Can be upgraded with coins.

What bad luck, Lin Yi tossed the cube into the warehouse and reached into the last box.

[Seed]

A rare item.

This seed can grow into a special plant. When planted, the type of plant is randomly determined.

"A seed? Damn useless... I wouldn’t care even if it grew into a sausage tree!"

Lin Yi was really frustrated, sent the seed to the warehouse, and then returned to the weapon craftsman.

Now all the crafting work is done at the upgraded crafting station. To achieve maximum efficiency, each device requires eight employees to operate.

Therefore, Lin Yi purchased and installed six extremely expensive new devices for more experienced and higher-level weapon craftsmen.

[Small Automatic Crafting Station]

An advanced device that requires minimal supervision by the user. Due to automation, it operates three times faster than a workbench and its magic value consumption is reduced by 50%.

Price: 100 third level energy cores, 1 billion coins, 5 workbenches.

Most people think this device is worth the money, and Lin Yi tends to agree.

When eight people work on it, the upgraded crafting station increases each person’s crafting speed by 80% and reduces magic value consumption by 40%.

This automatic crafting station can also be operated by one person, and is highly efficient.

There’s a more powerful version, but it’s currently unaffordable.

Most new items in the store are in the same situation.

This automatic crafting station looks like a vertical capsule with a diameter of 5 meters and a height of 8 meters. Inside are some robotic arms assembling items like a 3D printer.

The weapon craftsmen also suggested building more production centers as blueprints could be used to automatically craft devices, but Lin Yi rejected their suggestion.

Unlike crafting stations operated by weapon craftsmen, production centers consume 100% of the magic value and resources when crafting anything, even if it’s a thousand times the same recovery station.

Without a second magic reactor, this method would only decrease crafting efficiency rather than increase it.

But Lin Yi plans to plunder heavily from the vampires, believing they must have various valuable items, including space-time filters.

He ended up spending nearly 7 million coins on the weapon craftsman’s workshop, but that wasn’t the end.

After handling the workshop’s affairs, Lin Yi transported to... third level time-space outpost!

It’s located near the desert, where the Shelter Army has set up a defensive circle.

Previously, they had to use vehicles to transport ammunition and personnel, but now they just wave their hands.

This outpost looks like a cylindrical structure on a tripod weighing about half a ton, allowing residents of the shelter to teleport items within a 600-meter radius.

A watermelon-thick energy stream surges from the bottom of the cylinder into the ground, and a similar stream sprays out from the top toward the sky, extending all the way to the island’s natural protective dome.

Hubert installed this outpost, saying it took 1 hour and 11 minutes, and the farther the outpost is from the shelter, the longer it takes to activate.

Lin Yi originally planned to set up outposts all over the island, but it seems this plan is doomed to fail.

If the Zombie General doesn’t see that massive energy pillar shooting into the clouds, he must be blind.

However, Lin Yi still holds high expectations for the teleportation platforms. He spent a total of 4 million coins buying 40 teleportation platforms.

Each platform must be configured in the "equipment configuration" app, so they haven’t had time to test, but every branch has one.

People there are eagerly awaiting a chance to rest in the shelter.

Lin Yi assigned Natasha to configure the platforms and create special safety gates, ensuring no uninvited guests sneak into the shelter.

Setting up these platforms is not particularly complicated.

You can set target platforms, activate or deactivate devices, and save activation records.

They tested the first platform on the island...

Success!

Lin Yi teleported to the second platform installed by the city wall and then teleported back, retrieving the equipment.

The experiment succeeded, so once all preparations are completed, teleportation will become a daily routine for all shelter residents.

Lin Yi also plans to start offering teleportation services, such as providing teleportation from Lille to Cologne.

Of course, there will be a fee!

However, there’s a small issue: both platforms cannot be on Earth. One must be inside the shelter, so they need special connection points.

Next up is dealing with the altar of the Child of the Sun, which Lin Yi has high hopes for.

~~~~~~

Twelve hours earlier.

Shelter, Hanover refugee’s temporary camp...

"The food here is really good, sis."

"Indeed, it’s delicious, so tasty!"

These two red-haired girls sat at a table, enjoying several plates of delicious food without restraint.

The previous night, like most refugees, they slept in tents.

Those with families and urgent situations were prioritized for housing, while other refugees were promised new homes after breakfast.

However, most of them didn’t believe it.

In fact, a conspiracy theory circulated in the camp that the people in the shelter were fattening them up to eat them.

They would never get an apartment.

This pair of sisters didn’t listen to such nonsense.

They were accustomed to rational thinking, so they weren’t at all surprised when they received a sumptuous breakfast.

The survivors in Hanover, after years of hunger and poor diet, needed to eat more to regain their physical strength.

The red-haired twins wore new dresses.

The dresses were a bit large for them, but they were much better than the blood-stained rags they wore the night before when they first arrived at the shelter.

They even took a bath before going to sleep!

Only a few refugees received this treatment.

The refugees were both surprised and delighted by the hearty breakfast, and as soon as they finished eating, they began to be divided into groups.

"I’m so full I can hardly move, sister..." said the red-haired girl in the blue dress with a laugh.

"Me too..." said the red-haired girl in the green dress, patting her full belly.

"Attention please! First, if you can understand me, please raise your hand," said a lady in a white suit with the shelter’s logo, speaking in German.

After making sure everyone had raised their hands, she continued.

"We are going to assign apartments to everyone now. On this table is a tablet with a map of the new community that will be built in a few hours.

Please choose a building and an apartment, and then enter your address.

I will teach you how to do it. But please don’t hesitate too long, our time is a bit tight."

"You’re building an entire community? How stupid do you think we are?! That’s impossible!"

"Please keep your opinions to yourself." The lady angrily looked at the man who spoke.

"After all we’ve been through, do you really think you know what’s possible and what’s not? Ha!

Let the red-haired girls choose first!"

The managing lady knew they were favored by the boss, so they received priority.

The sisters silently nodded, holding hands as they walked up to the lady in the white uniform.

They picked up the tablet, holding it with one hand each, and began to check the community’s situation.

The community was large, with more than a hundred apartment buildings!

"Can we choose any building and any apartment?" asked the red-haired girl in the blue dress.

"Yes."

"What kind of apartment do you want, sister?" asked the red-haired girl in the blue dress.

"One on a high floor, with a good view," replied the red-haired girl in the green dress.

"We’ve made our choice," the sisters said in unison, then placed the tablet back on the table.

"Okay, I will enter you into the database; this apartment is yours. Congratulations on having a new home.

We will notify you when you can move in, next one please!"

There wasn’t anything else to do.

The girls went for a walk.

There were no longer any guards in the area because everyone had undergone questioning yesterday, and anyone deemed a threat to the shelter had already been dealt with.

There were many such people, including murderers, psychopaths, rapists, and some utterly immoral villains.

They were arrested, interrogated, and punished according to their crimes.

Some were released to fend for themselves, while others were sent for reformation.

A few whose crimes were particularly egregious were fed to the zombies.

"Look, sister," said the red-haired girl in the blue dress, pointing to a group of people.

"Something interesting must be happening over there."

The girls walked to the side of the crowd and saw a group of men installing a huge banner with the map of the shelter.

They were surrounded by some curious refugees looking at the map.

The sisters, having already chosen their apartment and feeling bored, joined them.

"They have farmland, sister," said the red-haired girl in the green dress, pointing to the southwestern part of the shelter.

"And a rabbit farm."

"Is this really possible, dear?" came a woman’s voice from somewhere nearby.

The sisters looked over and saw a man, a woman, and a little girl sitting on the man’s shoulders.

"What do you mean?" asked the man, still looking at the map.

"Look at how much farmland they have! Is it really enough to feed so many people? There must be something wrong here!"

"There’s something wrong with the whole world, don’t worry. If they can feed us, it shows they have the capability," the man continued to study the map.

"How can you be so calm?!" The woman glared at her husband.

"You can’t control the weather, so what’s the point of shouting at it?" The man looked at his wife, not understanding as he explained.

"It’s the same reason, we signed the contract. This is our home now."

"You insisted on it!"

"Exactly."

The sisters had no interest in the impending family quarrel and had no desire to eavesdrop, so they continued walking.

When they heard music and some other strange sounds, they headed in that direction.

They found a giant screen showing a newly made film.

The film told the story of the shelter’s history, how it was established, and the battles it had gone through.

Almost all of Lin Yi’s adventures were recorded, enough to make a movie.

The current scene showed his experience in the Paris subway.

The sisters saw a horde of bloodthirsty rats, the "rat plague," and of course the giant mutated rat that Lin Yi and his companions managed to defeat.

Then they saw how the shelter developed from a single tent into a small town...
