Shelter, new recruit training ground.

Hubert looked at the elves and the bunker residents, paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

"The Ark is piloted by sentient beings, but unlike others, our Shelter is still connected to our mother world.

If Earth is destroyed, our Shelter will become a drifting Ark like the others.

And there are the Wandering Islands, which come in two types.

The first type is like a huge fragment inhabited by zombies led by a Lord.

The second type is the so-called port.

This is an occupied fragment, fixed in one position, never leaving its coordinates.

Unlike ordinary fragments and Arks, islands and ports cannot be merged.

This is all because of this crystal..."

Hubert displayed a slide of a crystal.

The Unification Device was initially black, then turned white when they first attempted to purify an island.

Once the island is completely purified, the crystal becomes completely colorless.

"This crystal is the control core of the island, and by performing some operations on this crystal, you can turn an island into a port.

But if I understand correctly, a port will start to emit a bright light in the Sea of Space-Time, attracting undead creatures, plus demons, monsters, and other natural world creatures we have yet to encounter.

Are there any other questions?"

...

The night was especially tranquil.

During dinner.

The red-haired girl Sylvie was bragging about all her achievements, saying that even without using Coins, the workshop automatically produced 170,000 various ammunitions!

Lin Yi almost choked on the king crab…

Now, he no longer needed a bullet recycling workshop, or to waste money buying ammunition from Lille!

The workshop also produced fifty sets of Power Armor in a day.

Due to the function of the production station, their speed increased several times. This also greatly reduced the cost from 7,500 Coins to 3,900 Coins.

Orianna reported on the situation of the elves.

She taught them to work in the fields, where they fluttered above, scattering seeds into the plowed soil.

But given their height and weight, planting potatoes was too heavy for them.

At first, they scoffed at potatoes, but after someone let them taste some fried potato sticks, they became utterly hooked on the food, unable to live without it.

The first day of Lille's recruitment event ended.

Immanuel recruited a total of 178 professionals and 230 new recruits today, along with 668 family members.

If Solomon intends to train these new recruits into qualified warriors, he's got his work cut out for him.

Xiaochuan was very depressed.

He had received the Master of Archery skill, which was awesome, but his brother got an even cooler skill.

Who doesn't dream of turning into a dragon?

Flying around, scorching hordes of bad guys…

At least that's what Xiaochuan fantasized…

Lin Yi gathered all the Shelter residents with impressive skills and gave each of them a "Extreme Constitution" Skill Book.

Although the improvement was minor, it was better than nothing.

"By the way, I have a skill that's not much use to soldiers, so I'm going to give it to you. You can decide among yourselves who will learn this skill."

Lin Yi said with a yawn.

Then he tossed the Charm Skills and walked away.

He finished dinner, ready to head home and read a bit before bed.

It was truly an extremely fulfilling and busy day.

While he was at home relaxing, the women engaged in a fierce debate.

Initially, they didn't take the boss's words seriously, but once they read the skill's description…

After a long discussion, they eventually decided to let Chen Youyou learn the skill.

Zoe also fought hard for the skill.

She saw it as the only current opportunity to win the boss's favor, but...

...

Nighttime.

Chen Youyou practiced the skill in secret.

[You have chosen an appearance]

Determining ideal appearance…

Error!

Target has no specific preference.

[Unable to determine ideal appearance…]

Despite some failures in using the skill, Chen Youyou was not discouraged.

She knew the boss was a workaholic, that women weren't the most important thing in his life, not even second, so she still had plenty of practice time.

...

Late night.

"Quick… wake up!… There's danger!"

A voice resonated deep within Lin Yi's mind.

He awoke instantly, leaping out of bed, covered in sweat, filled with a sense of impending doom.

Lin Yi immediately teleported to the main castle and sounded the yellow alert.

The alarm blared, with bright text flashing on the main castle's walls.

"Warning! About to be invaded!"

Then, he drifted into the Space-Time Beacon, immersed in the Sea of Space-Time, quickly surveying his surroundings.

Soon, he saw a gigantic Ark heading straight towards the Shelter.

It gleamed brightly, massive in size, as large as the Wandering Island of the Zombie General!

"Damn..."

Lin Yi instantly realized the seriousness of the impending threat and began frantically searching for world fragments.

Hoping to establish a buffer zone between the Ark and the Shelter to gain a tactical advantage in the battle.

Solomon asked via radio, "Boss? What happened, what's going on?"

"We are under attack from a giant Ark! Meet me at the passage I've opened."

"Yes, Boss! Is it the passage on the underground Shelter fragment? I'll have the soldiers ready!"

Next, Chen Youyou and Hubert contacted him.

While searching for world fragments, Lin Yi quickly explained the situation to them.

The collision time was only about five minutes away, yet the Shelter hadn't even given him advance notice!

When the Beastmen were about to attack before, the Shelter had given warnings hours in advance...

Could the Shelter have deliberately kept him in the dark?

No way! He immediately dismissed this thought.

It's more likely that there's a device on the enemy's fragment that allows it to remain invisible among other Arks.

"Found one! A large black fragment... hurry, hurry..."

Lin Yi teleported to the Harpoon Device, aimed at the fragment, then dragged it to the eastern part of the Shelter, where the underground Shelter fragment was located.

He aimed for the narrow path where he had set up a defensive perimeter with multiple steel walls.

There were only four steel walls there.

The first steel wall was located sixty meters down the passage entrance, then three hundred meters further was the second wall, and another six hundred meters was the third wall.

There, the passage extended from a sixty-meter-long corridor into a triangular area that expanded outward, spanning one hundred fifty meters wide.

At the other end of the triangle was another steel wall.

Trucks loaded with soldiers were heading there, with no time left to dismantle and move more steel walls.

[Target will reach the Shelter in 1 minute and 40 seconds]

Connecting the fragment with the Shelter would take about one and a half minutes, but the Ark was almost there!

It was closing in, second by second.

Lin Yi could already make out the boundless outline of the hostile Ark.

The fragment seemed to be some rural area with a wide road.

And its area was twice that of the Shelter!

This was a dangerous attempt, but maybe it could buy them some time... or it might cost them the little time they had left.

At the last moment, the buffered black fragment finally connected with the Shelter!

But the next second, the enemy Ark arrived as well.

[Warning!]

[Lord of Space-Time Sualme VI, Child of the Sun, has invaded the Shelter!]

First the fragment connected with the Shelter, then the enemy Ark, the entire process accompanied by intense shaking.

After Lin Yi scanned the Ark, it appeared to be a barren, lifeless desert with a towering mountain in the middle.

Lin Yi teleported to the site where the battle was about to unfold, soldiers nervously preparing defensive structures there.

The soldiers reacted swiftly, but what surprised him even more was that all the new Black recruits from the underground Shelter were already fully prepared for battle.

"Boss, you made it!" Hubert said, running towards him, but seeing the boss's gloomy expression, he swallowed back his prepared joke.

"It shook pretty badly back there, what happened?"

"An enormous enemy Ark is planning to invade us! It seems to be a desert and a mountain up there. If they can survive in such a place, they're definitely not ordinary figures."

Lin Yi answered, recalling scenes of desert warfare from various documentaries on the History Channel.

He imagined hordes of soldiers on camels stirring up clouds of dust like a sandstorm.

He pushed these thoughts aside.

"I placed a fragment between the enemy Ark as a battlefield; it seems to be a rural area with a big road.

Anyway, get the soldiers ready, set up the defensive structures and activate them, and... the lighting here is terrible, I can't see anything."

"Boss, the monster in the underground Shelter destroyed about half of our floodlights..."

Solomon also walked over.

"I'll dispatch some vehicles here, and have people turn on the car lights, then make some torches, so we can at least see who we're shooting at!"

Lin Yi nodded, helping to teleport soldiers, supplies, ammunition, and vehicles.

Civilian volunteers also arrived, deployed on the walls as reserves and support.

But time waits for no one.

A minute and a half later, the enemy appeared!

A scout with the "Hawkeye" skill, but this skill didn't grant him night vision.

He shouted, "I see eyes... lots and lots of eyes ahead!"

"You damn well better figure out what they are!" another soldier gasped.

Indeed, on the other side of the third steel wall, there were many eyes flickering, reflecting light like the eyes of cats in the dark.

There were hundreds of eyes, sizing up these tiny humans.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes and stared back, commanding the soldiers, "What are you panicking for? Set up the defenses!"

If things went south, he could always erect a Fire Wall for illumination and cover.

But first, gun nests must be set up, snipers must be sent into bunkers, and all other defenses must be ready.

Lin Yi ordered a new layer of steel walls to be installed, so if the enemy broke through, the soldiers would have a fallback line of defense to retreat to...
