Inside the shelter bunker.

Lin Yi completed the workshop and began work on the basement and hospital.

The shelter's account balance was only 1,500 Coins, so everything else for the workshop was kept simple.

He started from the Alchemist's workshop.

Their workbench was three times the size of a regular workbench, shaped like a semicircle.

The workbench included a control panel and was equipped with various devices — pipes and beakers that looked evil and fantastical.

Everything was modern and practical.

The Alchemy Workbench could be combined into a single system or allow four workbenches to remain independent.

The hospital situation was more interesting.

When he combined the seven medical work beds into a single workshop, they formed a basic recovery terminal.

It looked like a stone coffin in the center, connected to a cross-shaped control panel that looked like a table.

According to his estimation, four Doctors could now treat one seriously injured patient together.

After completing the hospital work, Lin Yi told Chen Youyou to begin transferring personnel in, then returned to his laptop.

He had to transfer the funds accumulated by the Vending Machine into the shelter's account balance.

But there wasn't much really, the four vending machines had accumulated only 96,000 Coins in total.

He had already collected money from selling Power Armor before starting the castle construction.

He transferred the Coins and checked his emails.

[Reply: Item Received]

122 survivors have agreed to your terms and entered the shelter.

The shelter has gained 1,220 Experience Points!

[Reply: Vending Machine]

Your No. 4 Vending Machine has met the minimum requirements and can now be upgraded to Second Level.

"A vending machine can upgrade?!"

Lin Yi opened the vending machine application and found the relevant vending machine, next to which was a flashing green button.

He pressed the button and saw a message from the application indicating the vending machine was upgrading.

It said the upgrade would take two minutes.

But ten seconds later.

Someone contacted him via radio.

"Boss! King Lille just called; he's been nagging. He said the vending machine isn't working!"

"Tell him the machine is upgrading. It will be back to normal in two minutes."

"Understood."

Two minutes passed quickly. The application changed the vending machine information.

Now, it had increased from the original three item slots to five.

In the new item slots, Lin Yi added wheat and fruits, and set the other slots to be recyclable smartphones, tablets, and 5.56 mm bullets.

But he limited the ammunition purchases to one million rounds and set the price at five bullets per Coin.

After completing all of this.

Lin Yi decided to take a stroll.

He first teleported to the fog wall.

Zombies were still continuously emerging from the mist, but border patrolling soldiers and some civilian volunteers were effectively controlling the number of zombies, swiping through to gain experience.

Any resident of the shelter could request the patrolling soldiers to help them become a Professional.

But in fact, not many people made requests, as residents worried that becoming a Professional would ultimately compel them to fight, such concerns were not unreasonable...

After observing, Lin Yi arrived in Lille.

The recruitment activity continued.

Blaise and others managed to recruit lots of car mechanics but only one metallurgist with just a few years of experience.

Fortunately, there were plenty of professional farmers and gardeners.

Some new recruits shared their delightful meals with friends and family, which the guards indirectly confirmed.

Consequently, the number of people joining the Shelter Army increased dramatically.

Lin Yi returned to the shelter.

At this time, relocating new personnel to the new community and castle was ongoing in full swing.

There was almost nothing to do in the fields.

Today was not harvest day; all farmers were just tending the wheat, watering other fields, and occasionally weeding, most people were living relaxed days.

Quite a few wanted to tour the Elf Forest due to reports, with many having this idea.

The shelter had to open up some paths and ensure everyone stuck to the paths to avoid trampling precious plants.

Considering that elves don't want to return to their forest, as it would trigger memories of the massacre — remnants of blood and battle traces still lingered there.

Regina's primary work presently was leading those to tour the entire shelter.

Elves found everything about the shelter extremely novel, their favorite being the lakes and fields, but they felt quite scared when seeing the Xidi beast.

Lin Yi often said, "No work, no food."

Hence, the elves' primary work was farming duties, including those warriors and the sun priestess.

Contrary to Orianna's expectations, these little ones were quite adept at fieldwork.

They were rather skilled at harvesting wheat.

Among the 631 members of the Faru Elf tribe, thirty were tailors, all Professionals.

Or rather, all elves of the Faru tribe in the forest inherently assumed were born Professionals.

But only a few elves are born with skills, and they have no other way to acquire skills, never having heard of rewards before.

Every skill affects the appearance of the winged Faru race elves.

For instance, all tailors have white wings, though the patterns on them vary in shape.

All priestesses and young girls have golden wings, and they can cast spells to concentrate sunlight into beams that burn flesh.

The brighter their wings, the stronger their magic.

But they cannot improve their attributes, nor can they level up, so they are all first level.

Elf tailors are assigned a large tent, with plenty of materials for them to process.

The sewing style of the Faru race elves is completely different from humans; they float in the air, and magical white threads emerge from their wings.

They use these threads to make clothes.

These threads can cut fabric, sew fabric, move fabric, and suspend it in the air.

When Lin Yi first saw the clothes made by the Faru race elves, he nearly choked on his greed.

These clothes can actually enhance the attributes of the wearer!

Even a pair of underwear can increase an attribute by 1 point.

For example, the strongest Faru warrior's green armor can increase all physical attributes by ten points!

However, this armor was made by a blacksmith, not a tailor, and was made of metal.

But the Faru race elves claim their tailors can make similar items, with attribute bonuses depending on the material quality used.

The Faru race elves usually make clothes from spider silk, but their spider silk is nearly depleted.

So Lin Yi gave the order for people to learn how to raise spiders in the shelter to maximize the elves' specialties.

Once informed, Lin Yi went to the army.

Solomon and Hubert conducted a series of rigorous evaluations and training on the black special forces from the underground shelter remnants.

They also subjected these people to lie detector tests.

To Lin Yi's surprise, none of the black soldiers wanted to leave the army, and they all passed the tests.

Finally, he learned that at the early stage of the apocalypse, the situation underground differed from that on Earth.

Their apocalypse started gradually, and they had a plan.

In a global disaster, the president, the Secretary of Defense, and others would hide in underground bunkers to manage the nation.

They only took top soldiers; only the best could enter the bunker.

However, when Hubert saw their performance, he merely chuckled.

They are respectable soldiers, but... either their world never experienced real warfare, or by Earth's standards, their wars were child's play.

If these people had never fired at real humans, how could they be called elite soldiers?

Fortunately, their mechanical skills were outstanding, and their shooting accuracy was high.

Hubert decided to guide them and retrain them once they and their families settled down.

Because they hid underground at the apocalypse's start, none of them were Professionals.

After screening, Hubert found many biologists, virologists, and other scientists among them.

The professor recruited them for laboratory work, but there was a problem—

They were all a bunch of racists, extremely reluctant to follow orders from anyone who wasn't black, causing some issues...

"Boss, can you come to the field? Those newcomers are causing trouble."

"Which newcomers? The blacks from the underground shelter or those from Lille?"

"The blacks!"

"Understood, I'll be right there." Lin Yi showed an evil smile and then went to the laptop.

He focused on locating those troublemakers.

In the wheat field, a newcomer from the underground shelter, a black man, was causing trouble.

He didn't want to work and refused to follow a white woman's orders.

Lin Yi said nothing, waved his hand, and the man disappeared, along with all the black recruits from the underground shelter remnants.

They appeared next to the steel wall.

"How did we get here?"

"What happened?"

"Mom, is that magic?"

The black recruits were anxious.

Some had been moving into new homes, others working in the fields or doing other tasks.

Then suddenly!

They found themselves in front of the steel wall outside the shelter, and on the other side of the wall were masses of zombies and mist.

Seconds later, Lin Yi appeared before them.

"I'll be brief."

He stood on an armored combat vehicle.

"You've all signed contracts, so you must do as we say. Anyone disobeying orders or trying to cause trouble will be punished."

Lin Yi waved his hand, and the troublemaking black man appeared on the combat vehicle.

He grabbed the man's arm, put an upgraded Vaccine Bracelet on it, and then waved his hand, sending him to the other side of the fence.

The black man began to panic and tried to climb the wall, but it was unscalable.

The zombies, delighted by this generous gift, grabbed the frightened man's legs.

Not long after, several zombies' mouths began tearing into his soft flesh...

That poor black fellow screamed very loudly, and everyone from the underground shelter gasped in horror!
