It appears that the simple infrastructures like the houses, huts, outposts, or resting areas weren't part of the Special Infrastructure and not included in the count.
"Seventy-eight, huh… That's quite a lot. Did they find another Shelter and conquer a zombie nest?' Shane mused as he couldn't help but guess how they suddenly started giving him a lot of experience points.
Of course, he wasn't complaining since he finally reached level 28.
Reaching Level 27 gave him three Survivor Store Item Refresh Vouchers, while Level 28 gave him five Reputation Store Item Refresh Vouchers.

Anyway, Shane hadn't even purchased anything for this day yet, so he decided to keep it and check the store later.
He finally decided to look into the matter at hand.
Upon reaching a vantage point atop a hill overlooking a sprawling abandoned city, Shane witnessed a scene of desolation before him. Nonetheless, three Survivor Shelters dotted the landscape below…
The first shelter in the east seemed to be controlling a shopping mall, the one in the west controlled the prison, and the other shelter in the north used the school piled with numerous broken cars as its wall.
"Mhmm?"
As Shane scanned the city, his keen eyesight caught sight of a peculiar sight - a new breed of Zombie unlike any he had encountered thus far…
"This muscular Zombie looked like Tyrant Zombie but not a Crusher Zombie because of its hands… That oozing black blood as well… It must be the Juggernaut Zombie… A zombie considered a Field Boss…" Shane muttered as he realized that it was going to the Prison Shelter.
He hadn't met this Zombie ever as it was in Sector 1 or the nearest sectors at all.
Nonetheless, unlike the Tyrant Zombie, who was like a perfect athlete with a large body, this Juggernaut was a bit unbalanced, it wasn't capable of doing long jumps and running very fast because of its legs…
Furthermore, it always seemed to be smiling with almost always complete teeth, according to the Regional Chat. It was the biggest indicator of the Juggestnaut Zombies.
Though he couldn't see its face yet, he had a feeling that he was right.
Anyway, despite its smiling face, this Zombie possessed surprising strength and agility, capable of evading attacks with its bizarre, jittery movements and delivering powerful strikes with its oversized, floppy shoes.
As Shane observed this strange Zombie heading to the Prison Shelter, Shane decided to go down the hill.
At this time, Shane was actually wearing his Army Set instead of the Crawler Set because of his location. He deemed that the Crawler Set was only good in tight spaces, jungle, or during the night…
However, in this urban area, he believed that the Army Set would be decent, considering their effects on him.

As Shane cautiously trailed the irregular Juggernaut Zombie toward the Prison Shelter, he couldn't help but feel excited after noticing that it was equipped with various items!
This Juggernaut was equipped with mystical items! Those armor, gauntlet, and iron boots were definitely items that would be left behind once they were looted!
Anyway, the towering figure of the Juggernaut Zombie finally drew the attention of the Prison Shelter's inhabitants, who were no strangers to the threats of the zombies.
To Shane's surprise, the Juggernaut Zombie stood an imposing 7 meters tall now that he had gotten closer. It was dwarfing the surrounding structures and casting a long shadow over the desolate landscape.
As Shane observed from a safe distance, the Prison Shelter sprang into action…
"I wonder how they'll kill that thing…" Shane muttered as he felt that the skin of this zombie was probably as tough as iron…
Soon, its defenders mobilized to confront the approaching threat.
Armed with an array of weapons ranging from guns and rifles to enchanted artifacts imbued with mystical power, the residents of the shelter formed a line of defense against the towering intruder. Continue reading stories on m|v-l'-NovelBin.net
'Those glowing projectiles must be from Upgraded Items…' Shane mused.
Soon, the surrounding was filled with banging noise as spells were cast, bullets flew, and the resounding echoes of gunfire reverberated through the air.
'They have plenty of bullets, huh… However, as expected, the Juggernaut's skin was too tough…' Shane couldn't help but frown as he might need an Epic or Legendary Weapon if he wanted to defeat this Zombie in one or two strikes.
Anyway, the defenders of the Prison Shelter, united to protect their home, unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks upon the Juggernaut Zombie, aiming for its vulnerable points and exploiting any weaknesses they could discern.
They targeted its eyes, knees, or joints, but unfortunately, it wouldn't be easy…
Despite their coordinated efforts and formidable arsenal, the Juggernaut Zombie proved to be a formidable opponent, shrugging off bullets and spells! At most, they just slowed it down!
'They're going to get destroyed if this continues...' Shane muttered, but he wasn't thinking of helping. If this Shelter survived for a long time, he knew that they still had some tricks up their sleeves.
