Inside the Shelter.

Lin Yi listened to Solomon's report, his brow slightly furrowed.

From the current situation, the Zombie invasion from the other side of the Space-Time Fragment seems to be more frequent.

But as the boss, with numerous matters large and small to handle within the Shelter, he couldn't constantly stay on the edge.

Lin Yi's tone was unquestionable: "Solomon, make sure to implement the countermeasures and quickly level up to 5. Can you do that?"

"No problem, boss!"

Solomon pounded his chest enthusiastically before running off to carry out his tasks.

He was still 40 Experience Points away from level 5, which meant he would have to stay up all night killing creatures to achieve his goal.

Lin Yi returned to his residence, changed into his pajamas, and sat down heavily on the soft bed.

Nowadays, the Shelter has developed to the size of a small town,

and it's really not easy to personally attend to every matter.

However, as the various constructions gradually completed, a sense of achievement and security quietly spread in his heart, giving him much comfort.

As he thought of this, Lin Yi's eyelids grew heavier, and he gradually drifted off to sleep...

The next morning.

Sunlight poured into the room, shining on Chen Youyou's pretty face, and she gently woke Lin Yi as usual.

Twenty minutes later.

Everyone gathered around to have breakfast.

Lin Yi suddenly put down his fork and asked, "By the way, what's today's date?"

"August 15th, it's already autumn!" Annie giggled.

Lin Yi looked around at everyone wearing short sleeves and suddenly realized that the weather in the Shelter always felt like a warm and pleasant summer.

He recalled there seemed to be some gadget in the store that could control the weather.

At some point, he might buy it to try out and possibly bring some unique changes to the Shelter.

Lin Yi shifted the topic to work: "So, how is the planning of the Shelter going?"

"We've already divided Sanctuary Town into several zones and started planning the streets!"

The little Natasha, with bright, deer-like eyes, leaned next to Lin Yi and casually stuffed half of his food into his mouth.

Then, she clutched Lin Yi's strong arm tightly with both hands, playfully pulling him over to a sketch.

Lin Yi looked closely; it was a well-drafted and thought-provoking architectural plan.

"I've been recommended by everyone, and now I'm Sanctuary's chief urban planner!"

Natasha blinked her big, bright eyes proudly at Lin Yi.

She then pointed at the blueprint with her small hand, eagerly beginning her introduction.

According to Natasha's plan, the entire Shelter would be divided into five large areas centered on their current location.

This way, Lin Yi could teleport to other areas more conveniently.

Furthermore, all affairs could be centrally managed, greatly improving efficiency.

"Great!" Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction, inconspicuously swallowing the last bite of food in his mouth.

The boss's praise made the little Natasha burst with excitement.

She stood on tiptoe and gently brushed away the food residue at the corner of Lin Yi's mouth with her little hand, then continued her presentation.

The Southwest District will be Sanctuary Town's agricultural and military zone.

Besides large tracts of farmland, there was plenty of open space, so the weaponry could be moved there, along with a garage.

Later on, if they wanted to build a Guard barracks, there would be enough construction space.

The Northeast District is planned as a residential area, providing residents with a comfortable living environment.

The Northwest District is designated as an industrial area and will support the Shelter's future industrial development.

The Southeast District is a lake and relaxation area, offering a place for people to unwind.

Currently, the girls have not only designed the layout but have also listed other basic infrastructure construction plans.

However, they've encountered some difficulties.

The Shelter's controlling laptop is the only one available, with only Chen Youyou having access to view the upgrade options.

If Chen Youyou is busy or Lin Yi is out, Melanie monitors the computer.

The girls can't conduct related work, so they resort to using pen and paper to simulate planning, which greatly decreases efficiency.

As for the upgrade program, Lin Yi had plans for it earlier.

He nodded and said, "I'll make some time to add a few laptops to the Shelter."

After he finished speaking, Lin Yi's gaze fell on the construction blueprint again, lingering over the residential area for a long time.

"Is your design of the residential building two stories with eight rooms?"

"Yes, boss! From an economic standpoint, this is the most reasonable choice." Natasha responded seriously.

According to her plan,

Sanctuary Town would build several small communities, each equipped with its cafeteria, public bathroom, and restroom.

Currently, two communities are planned, with 304 rooms each.

For larger families, several rooms can be combined into one apartment to meet different residential needs.

"Alright, I have no objections." Lin Yi agreed.

After a brief thought, he spoke, "Additionally, apart from accounting for daily necessities and appliances, we also need to add some beneficial entertainment facilities for the community..."

He certainly didn't want to treat people like cattle as in the Louvre, or like weapons as in the Commercial Building, nor like tools as in Beauvais Town.

He recalled his years as a gang leader, where his subordinates had a strong sense of belonging to him.

And this was not something that could be maintained by mere passion...

After breakfast, everyone went about their respective tasks.

Lin Yi went to the laptop.

Since the laboratory and then at Beauvais Town, he hadn't checked notifications, and presumably, a lot had accumulated by now.

Through the system's calculations—

The damaged jeep, along with the Hand Grenade, machine guns, Ammunition, and other items inside, resulted in a total of 266 Experience Points.

And the medicines, chemicals, and medical equipment obtained from the lab were valued at 340 Experience Points.

[Regarding Item Reception]

The Shelter has received item: mobile server.

Note: The server includes extensive research data and medical information, hence the reward increase—

Your Shelter has earned 1000 Experience Points.

This message made Lin Yi's eyes light up.

It seemed that risking life and raiding that insane lab was worthwhile.

With this system-recognized server, he might really be able to build a laboratory or even a hospital.

Such prospects can only be deemed immeasurable for the Shelter's future development!

[Regarding Animal Reception]

The Shelter has received the following animals—

Two birds, one male, and one female.

Species: Multicolored Chicken.

Once the animal exhibits its first offspring, the species will be listed in an enhanced form in the store.

Your Shelter has earned 400 Experience Points.

Reading this message, Lin Yi was a bit puzzled.

Why does the Shelter receive only 10 points of Experience for a person, but 400 points for two lousy chickens!?

But soon, he figured out the reason behind it.

Right now, it's the end of the world, in this chaotic world, what is the least valuable?

Without a doubt, it's human life!

Yet, untainted fauna and flora are exceptionally precious, as they carry life.

Even so, Lin Yi couldn't help but mutter, "Two lousy chickens are more valuable than forty people!"

Suddenly, he saw an information prompt:

[Detecting mutations in all animals, this mutation is determined as mild, caused by the virus]

[The virus affects reproductive capabilities, which will decline]

The higher the viral concentration in the human body, the lower the pregnancy probability. Based on preliminary calculations, the current average pregnancy probability is 0.001%.

[All humans will be sterile within two months!]

"Are you kidding me?" Lin Yi was dumbfounded upon seeing this message...
