Apocalypse: Transmigrated with an Overlord System-Chapter 151: Clearing away old dreams and rebuilding a new home

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Clearing away old dreams and rebuilding a new home

In the base surrounded by thick defensive walls, the air still retains the faint smell of heat emitted by the modules when they are self-constructed. The surroundings are quiet, with only the sound of the wind gently blowing across the wall, as if the whole world is silently applauding her for completing this step.

Standing on the high ground, Liora looked down at the small enclosed base with a satisfied arc at the corner of her mouth. The gloom of past days from her eyebrows had completely disappeared. She seems to be more energetic than fighting in the misty forest.

She was really tired from all the bloodlust and killing. She also wanted a stable house of her own where she could come sleep without any worries. Her one month in the misty forest was even worse than staying here on the road. There was not a second when she dared to sleep with both eyes closed.

And now when she had become powerful enough to challenge anyone without the thought of consciousness, all she wanted was a house for herself. And this base gives the happiness she never received after killing countless zombies and mutated beasts.

She took a deep breath with a small smile lingering on her lips and her eyes swept and fell on the mottled and dilapidated buildings in the base.

Those were the original buildings left in this area, with gray walls and black tiles, broken windows, and the outer walls covered with weeds and cracks. These buildings were damaged but not so much damaged that half of the wall was falling.

Because she had already dismantled the buildings that were practically useless.

Liora sighed and slowly approached one of the two-story buildings that seemed to be intact. The door had been broken for a long time, and the wood was rotten. It creaked and broke completely when pushed. The air was filled with a stench of dust and mold, which made people frown.

"This kind of place... I’m really going to stink to death if I live in it." Liora frowned while searching the system interface and calling up the building management option.

[Hint: The current building meets the "dormitory" specification standards. Do you want to register it as a system base building?]

Liora decisively pressed "Confirm".

The next second, the system light screen passed by, and a blue ripple spread from her feet, quickly covering the entire building.

"Boom--"

It was like old skin was torn, and new scales grew out from the ground. The originally cracked and mottled walls began to reshape, cement automatically filled the gaps, and wall paint covered the dust and mold. The windows were replaced with explosion-proof glass, and an electronic induction lock was installed at the door.

The interior also changed drastically.

Broken sofas, broken glass tables, moldy mattresses - all were removed by the system. Instead, new dormitory furniture with uniform configuration was installed: metal bunk beds, lockers, simple desks, a full set of new bedding and basic daily necessities.

Liora stood at the door, stunned.

"... No way, it has become a star-rated apartment?"

She turned around and saw that several other buildings had also completed registration and were all undergoing a "reborn" transformation. She almost didn’t need to do it herself, just operate and confirm on the system panel, and these ruins would automatically restore to usable modern buildings.

But suddenly, Liora felt her eye twitch.

Something didn’t sit right with her. The system had always been stingy before. Why would it suddenly be this generous, remodeling entire buildings without asking for anything in return?

A strange thought rose in her mind.

With a cautious hand, she opened the system interface again and pulled up the survival point log. The moment she saw it, her smile froze.

A long list of deductions flashed in front of her eyes, all within the last few minutes. Her survival points had been reduced to a great amount.

She stared at the new balance with a blank face.

"...Ninety-two five hundred points... gone?"

She quickly switched to the building management page. This time she read the details more carefully.

[Restoration cost – 4-story building: 10,000 survival points]

[Restoration cost – 3-story building: 7,500 survival points]

[Restoration cost – 2-story building: 5,000 survival points]

All buildings auto-restored upon registration.

Her eye twitched again. So that was it.

The system wasn’t generous. It was just very, very fast at swiping her points.

She clenched her jaw slightly but didn’t say anything.

It was worth it.

Yes, it was painful to lose almost everything she had earned so far, but compared to wandering the misty forest without shelter, eating cold rations in the rain, or sleeping with one eye open in the dirt, this was a paradise. The room smelled fresh now, the mattress was clean, the bedding soft, and the door could actually lock. It was a real home.

And survival points? She could just earn them back again.

Zombies and mutated beasts were everywhere. If she kept hunting, kept getting stronger, then these points would flow in again like water.

Liora exhaled and let her shoulders relax.

"It’s fine. I’m fine. This dormitory is amazing."

After she renovated the 13 buildings of different stories, four 4-story, three 3-story and six 2-story buildings. And the total cost was 92,500 survival points.

Even after the buildings were fully renovated, Liora knew her work was far from over.

A safe shelter was only the beginning.

If she wanted this place to truly become a base—a real home for people—then the essentials needed to be in place. Not just walls and roofs, but power to keep the lights on, clean water flowing through pipes, and food—enough for everyone, every day.

These were the bare minimums for survival. The foundation on which everything else stood.

To Liora, it wasn’t enough for people to simply exist in this base. She wanted them to live comfortably. She wanted them to feel safe and cared for. Only then would this place grow—only then would people come, settle, and stay.
