Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 203: Consolidating the New Territory

Correspondingly, within the Magical Metropolis, there should be even more formidable mutants. Moreover, outside the metropolis, there's a military district with a genuine field army. That's a real battlefield force with tanks, aircraft, and heavy artillery!

Alex was certain that a large-scale shelter had already been established within the Magical Metropolis. The thunderous sounds of artillery heard some time ago might be the military clearing out zombies. The distance between the Magical Metropolis and Jiangcheng was just over two hundred kilometers! If the highways were clear, the total travel time would be a little over three hours!

For helicopters or planes, it would be even faster! Alex wasn't afraid of zombies; he was more concerned about the powerful human settlements that had formed. Until he had the strength to crush heavy weaponry, his desire for growth would never cease. Only by becoming stronger could he gain more resources, conquer more women, acquire more territory, and live a better life.

Strength was everything in the apocalypse!

"System, how can I break through the extraordinary limit?" Alex asked the system.

[Bury the corpse of an A-level zombie or an A-grade mutant corpse.]

Seeing the system's response, Alex couldn't help but furrow his brows again. After so long in the apocalypse, he and his group had almost traveled the entire Jiangzhou city area, yet not a single A-level zombie had appeared! This meant that A-level zombies were not common, at least not within Jiangzhou City.

"How can I find A-level zombies or A-grade mutant corpses?"

[The probability of A-level zombies appearing is very low. Each A-level zombie is very powerful and unique. Hosts looking for A-level zombies are advised to go to densely populated large cities. According to calculations, under normal circumstances, it takes three million zombies to produce one A-level zombie.]

[As for A-grade mutants, you need to enter the Gateway to the Myriad Realms to obtain them. With your current combat power, it is not recommended to build the Gateway to the Myriad Realms for now. The Gateway to the Myriad Realms randomly appears in another world. As for what powerful entities exist in that world, the system cannot know. Therefore, the host should be cautious!]

Alex nodded. Establishing the Gateway to the Myriad Realms was not only cost-prohibitive in terms of Apocalypse Coins but also premature given his current strength. After all, his current abilities only qualified him as a superpower user at best. Just from the imposing aura of the Female Demon God, one could infer that there were many extremely powerful entities in the Myriad Realms.

Moreover, he had only occupied a small city like Jiangcheng City. In the entire Blue Sphere World, there were thousands of similar cities. Blue Sphere still had significant development potential!

However, before that, he needed to consolidate the territories he already obtained. The base shelter had excellent facilities and conditions, a vast area, a remote location, and powerful firepower. It was an excellent choice for his logistics base in the future.

Alex didn't plan to enslave or puppetize all the ordinary people here. It would be a waste of time and City of Darkness space. For those without much value, he would use high-pressure methods to control them, making them slaves under his command.

Make these people work for themselves, construct and reproduce. The output of these lowest-tier slaves can be supplied to Alex, the enslaved, and puppetized within the City of Darkness. At the same time, these people can be kept as reserves for experiments.

Of course, the issue of cocoa's food supply has also been resolved. In the words of the pre-apocalyptic internet, this is essentially "farming." However, Alex's way of farming is a bit more straightforward and brutal.

"System, upgrade City of Darkness No. 3!"

With Alex's command, City of Darkness No. 3 began to change rapidly. In an instant, it successfully upgraded to an intermediate City of Darkness. Alex glanced at the building panel.

[Level 2 Grave: Can bury all zombie corpses below C-level indefinitely; requires a prerequisite building of Level 1 Grave; cost: 50 Apocalypse Coins.]

[Intermediate City Wall: (Unique building), six meters high, fifty centimeters thick, made of reinforced concrete. Functions: Defense (can defend against zombies below B-level), Control (all life forms within the city wall will be under the control of the city lord). Requires a prerequisite building of Basic City Wall. Upgrade cost: 50 Apocalypse Coins.]

[Dark Castle: Occupies fifty square meters, made of brick and wood. Functions: Rest, Healing (the rest area can quickly replenish energy and treat common injuries and illnesses). Requires a prerequisite building of Rest Area. Upgrade cost: 40 Apocalypse Coins.]

...

[City Lord's Illusion: Conceals all scenes within the City of Darkness walls, preventing any form of real observation from outside the wall; requires a prerequisite building of Intermediate City Wall; cost: 500 Apocalypse Coins.]

Similar to when the first City of Darkness was constructed, there weren't many changes. These buildings might have seemed expensive to the past Alex, but for the current Alex, they were merely a drop in the ocean.

"System, construct all the buildings in the building list!"

Alex opened the building list and selected all the buildings.

[Successfully selected all buildings, conditions met...]

[Requires expenditure of 3200 Apocalypse Coins...]

[Currently under construction...]

As the electronic synthesized sound of the system echoed, the City of Darkness before him underwent a drastic transformation in an instant. Almost all the buildings were completed in the blink of an eye. Under the City Lord's Illusion, the entire intermediate City of Darkness was shrouded in mist.

"System! Construct outer walls!"

Alex's surroundings once again turned into a green screen composed of one-square-meter grids. Using his mind, he selected the crucial areas within the base shelter. Then, Alex clicked the "Confirm" button.

[Outer wall construction selection successful, conditions met.]

[Expenditure of 5894 Apocalypse Coins...]

[Currently under construction...]

As the electronic synthesized sound rang out, a tremendous roar echoed within the base shelter. Walls rose from the ground one after another, forming a wall encircling nearly half of the base shelter in an instant.

"System, immediately upgrade City of Darkness to advanced level!"
