Brussels Military Headquarters.

Lin Yi and the generals from various countries discuss the outcome of the battle.

According to their preliminary statistics, the total loss for all countries was about two thousand soldiers, including Professionals.

The invasion of the evolved zombies was terrifying...

Their fortifications were built to withstand the attack of a million zombies.

But in reality, considering all the undead hidden in the forest that didn't participate in the battle, the zombie army might have numbered around two million.

This was a major intelligence failure!

Or perhaps that Zombie General is even smarter than imagined...

At the thought of this possibility, the generals from various countries had to reevaluate their nations' combat perspectives.

A horde of zombies like the one they were facing could easily wipe Lille or any large camp off the face of the Earth.

After discussing all currently available information, everyone decided to continue the meeting the next morning.

Everyone was exhausted and needed a good night's sleep.

Back at the Shelter, Lin Yi took a shower in the still-unreconstructed public bathroom.

Then leisurely headed home.

Someone was waiting for him there...

A silhouette under the blanket, judging by the outline, was a woman...

Everyone slept soundly that night.

The soundproofing was excellent too!

~~~~~~

Sea of Space-Time.

The five Arks had already merged into one, all belonging to different Taru tribes.

"I... the leader of the Zolin Tribe... agree that we shall become a part of the Taru tribe!"

In a vast hall, four tall but injured, blood-stained beastmen stood before Terghai's bone throne.

Terghai had gathered all the nearby Taru Beastman Arks and informed them about the miraculous Heart of the World that could be obtained by conquering the Moving Island.

Of course, no one believed him at first, but...

With Teruo's confirmation, the other Beastman Lords changed their attitudes, united, and planned to start clearing the Moving Islands.

But a problem arose immediately!

Who would become the supreme leader?

According to tradition, the leaders of each tribe need to fight each other, but Terghai won.

Terghai's Level might be much lower than his competitors, but his Attribute Points and unique Skills made him many times stronger.

After the competition, all the shamans and warriors from the five tribes met in the throne room of Terghai's Ark.

Each leader pledged loyalty to him, and the five Lords proclaimed their agreement to the great gods.

[Alert!]

The Lord of the Taru Zolin Tribe is now under your leadership; according to the contract, your Ark will merge immediately.

[Alert!]

The Lord of the Taru Manel Tribe is now under your leadership; according to the contract, your Ark will merge immediately.

[Alert!]

The Lord of the Taru Guer Tribe is now under your leadership; according to the contract, your Ark will merge immediately.

[Alert!]

The Lord of the Taru Tiger Tribe is now under your leadership; according to the contract, your Ark will merge immediately.

Subsequently, the Ark merged into one amidst a violent earthquake.

All open spaces were filled with soil, the highest terrain flattened, all borders disappeared, and Life Force was enhanced.

[Merge Completed!]

The area of the Ark increased to 187 million square yards.

Affiliated Population: 59,810 people.

Independent Population: 6,707 people.

Your Ark has now become large-scale.

[Alert!]

You have been discovered by a Heart of the World connected with Earth, unresolved issues found!

System version not activated.

Heart of the World is seeking solutions. Reviewing archive versions... solution found.

Alert! To activate the new system version, you must establish a connection with an existing world. The Heart of the World represents the connection with Earth.

[Alert!]

Earth has its own Lord.

Before Earth is saved from destruction, you can temporarily pledge as a vassal or obtain your own Heart of the World.

If you agree, all your subjects will be able to use the new system version and initialize.

Alert! During the initialization process, players' Level will be reset, and some Skills may be deleted.

[Do you agree?]

"Hahaha! Lin Yi... you damn bastard! I... agree!"

As Terghai responded, the Ark trembled, and all residents received a system notification.

[Alert!]

Lord of Space-Time Terghai has sworn allegiance to the Earth Lord.

This Ark is now connected with Earth.

You can now initialize and update the system; the Ark's Life Force has been enhanced, and its soil fertility has been improved.

Meanwhile.

The Lord of Space-Time himself received a large amount of information.

[Alert!]

Your Ark has transformed into a small Shelter.

This small Shelter is connected with Earth.

[Alert!]

A tributary of Earth's Life Force currently being absorbed by the Sea of Space-Time has been intercepted.

The absorption rate of Earth has decreased.

[Alert!]

You have received a small Shelter control panel!

You can create a spring source.

You can purchase and place farmland.

You can build a pit.

You can use a shop with limited functions.

You can...

Terghai didn't quite understand some parts, but that was okay; these pieces of information automatically flowed into his mind.

He couldn't stop laughing, but his subordinates were terrified! Their lord had just sworn allegiance to another lord—of a different race!

"Terghai! What have you done?!"

A former chief roared, but just then...

With a wave of Terghai's hand, the former chief appeared in front of him!

"I... just... made us... stronger! Much stronger!"

The lord bared his teeth and shouted with satisfaction.

A table appeared beside him with a laptop on it.

This laptop was 1.5 times the size of the one Lin Yi had, looking like a pile of old junk.

Because it was only Level 1.

"Hahahaha! Fantastic!"

Terghai's eyes sparkled as he rushed towards the laptop with a shout.

If his guess was correct, becoming a vassal to this cunning human would help their tribe develop rapidly!

~~~~~~

Morning.

As usual, Lin Yi woke up early the next day, as his body required high-intensity physical activities, and lying in bed was extremely uncomfortable for him.

Chen Youyou lay beside him in bed.

She looked so defenseless that he wanted to be mischievous, but then he saw the bump on her head and decided not to disturb her.

They had a little accident last night...

It wasn't until Lin Yi was fully dressed that he realized that his image of the Heart of the World no longer elicited a strong reaction... which was a good thing.

Lin Yi put these thoughts aside, donned his power-off "Slaughterer" armor for a run, took a shower, and then went to the kitchen to help Giselle prepare breakfast.

His still sleepy companions, including Chen Youyou, soon dragged themselves to the dining table.

Orianna carefully examined the bump on Chen Youyou's forehead and asked, panting.

"Oh... Sister Youyou, how did you get the bump on your head?"

"I think I was a bit too desperate yesterday... I was working too hard, and I tripped, hitting my head."

Chen Youyou suppressed a yawn and answered while covering her forehead with her hand.

What should she do, tell the truth?

She and Lin Yi had tried some new positions last night, and ended up a bit tangled...

"Boss! You need to take good care of her, she's been working so hard..."

"I already thought about that... Comrade Chen Youyou, why don't you hire more assistants?"

"I... then what should I do?"

"The shelter is developing too fast. It's impossible for you to keep up with all the work alone. So get some assistants, manage them, and trust me, you'll still be very busy."

"Okay!"

Chen Youyou replied with a cute smile.

She's really exhausted, with way too much to do.

After a while, Solomon brought along his children and Chen Youyou's sister-in-law.

At this time, Annie yawned and asked, "We won, right, Boss?"

"Of course we won, Orianna, give her a good smack for me."

"Why, Boss?!"

"Because she didn't believe the boss, that's why!"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

Orianna obliged and lightly tapped the back of Annie's head.

Lin Yi looked at the red-haired girl: "Sylvie? Hey! Wake up, Sylvie! How's the equipment?"

"Hmm? I fell asleep... sorry..."

The red-haired girl rubbed her red eyes, which were due to lack of sleep, and asked.

The weapon craftsmen had been busy until midnight, making ammunition and trying to get some equipment back into working order so that if there was a sudden attack, the soldiers would have something to fight with.

"I was asking about the equipment status."

"Oh, right... We've repaired about a quarter, 31 pieces of equipment can't be repaired... We need a whole day to fix the rest."

Sylvie barely held back a yawn, almost unable to keep her eyes open.

Lin Yi nodded.

"Then I guess we can't sell power armor today. All our 'Slaughterers' are broken, right?"

"Not all of them... but we don't have a single one good enough to sell."

"Got it. Focus on the 3rd and 4th level equipment, the rest can wait."

"Hmm..."

Sylvie nodded, then put her head back on the table and immediately fell asleep.

Lin Yi looked at Solomon.

"What about the loot?"

"There's a lot!"

Solomon grinned: "We'll start sorting it after breakfast... should be done by noon! We also need to check the guns, all of them need maintenance, a few of them need repairs..."

"Understood... Orianna? I heard you went mushroom foraging yesterday, did you find anything interesting?"

"Um... well, Boss. Most of us were working on the battlefield..."

"Then have the professor analyze the mushrooms and let me know as soon as possible. The sooner we figure out which ones are edible, the sooner we can start large-scale production."

"Okay."

Shortly after, everyone had a simple breakfast.

After breakfast, Lin Yi got busy.

He had promised to rebuild the public bathhouse.

Natasha had just completed the design for the new bathhouse.

As soon as everyone finished eating, they all went to see the boss to build the new bathhouse...
