Inside the shelter.

Lin Yi's conversation with everyone lasted a long time, and before they knew it, it was time for dinner.

The issues the shelter faced seemed endless.

They would solve one problem, only for two new ones to emerge; solve those two, and four more would spring forth…

With joint efforts, they finally devised a plan to strengthen the shelter's security and expand the town:

First: Upgrade the southern wall and unify it into a single wall.

Second: If the opportunity arises, increase the distance between the wall and the edge of the shelter to 500 meters, and set traps between the wall and the shelter.

Third: Install cutting devices, which was Zoe's suggestion enhanced by Louis's creativity. They need to be placed 30 meters apart, with an initial plan to build about 80 of them.

Fourth: Dig a trench and fill it with water, which will enhance the electric shock effect and significantly reduce the enemy's mobility.

However, this raised a separate issue—where would they get the water?

Using lake water was impossible; all the soldiers had seen its effect on the beastmen. What if it had the same effect on zombies?

Fifth: Reorganize the town comprehensively, strengthen manufacturing and heavy industry, begin recycling and forging metals, produce their own chemicals, and start making firearms and ammunition.

Explosives and killing cocktails had already proven their effectiveness in several battles, so it was crucial to transition from using bottles of liquid like cocktails to something more reliable and effective.

Sixth: Recruit people! They needed to recruit more civilian volunteers and soldiers. If possible, recruit from outside the shelter.

But if they did, they must question these individuals and pass them through the 'human lie detector,' Chen Youyou's inspection.

Seventh: They needed to turn all residents into professionals to discover rare and useful skills.

Needless to say, this would bring about new issues in maintaining security, so to address these, they would create an internal security department managed by Solomon.

Eighth: They must find more crops by any means… especially grapes, mainly for red wine, as everyone there loved it.

Apart from this extensive eight-point plan, they resolved many other issues.

They expanded the social area, building a cafeteria near the farmlands.

A cement road was constructed leading to the settlement in the previously occupied fragment areas, along with many other affairs.

It wasn't a quiet night, with soldiers on full alert against another zombie invasion…

The night was calm and peaceful.

So, in the morning, everyone's mood was great.

Breakfast was a pleasant affair.

Even the "little writer" Melanie had Xiaochuan sit beside her, smiling happily.

As for the "beauty" Mary, food kept slipping into her big stomach, she seemed never to be full.

Solomon was also glowing with health.

Lin Yi smiled and asked him: "So happy?"

"Oh, boss! We haven't told you yet, Giselle is pregnant!" Solomon replied joyfully.

"Congratulations!"

"Well done, you two!"

"Wow! Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Are you silly? Obviously, they don't know yet!"

Before Lin Yi could congratulate them, the women started chirping away…

Mary, who rarely talked while eating, lit up at the mention of pregnancy, her eyes sparkling.

She too joined the animated discussion!

Lin Yi finished his tea and walked toward Hubert.

As usual, the old soldier was at the wall, discussing something with the beastmen.

Seeing Lin Yi approaching, he shouted: "Boss! We're just discussing it!"

"What's up?"

"The beastman scouts have mapped out the zombie territory. It seems there's a fairly modern city there, and the beastmen confirm they saw destroyed machinery in that place!"

Lin Yi's expression changed.

This might be the place to find something special, maybe even alien technology.

However, he also recalled the scrap found in the already occupied fragment zones…

But scavenging is always worth a try!

"Then let's take action…" Lin Yi said, taking the roughly drawn map.

On the southern edge of the island, there was a large city. According to the beastmen's report, there were huge residential buildings there, even larger than Taru's fences!

By human standards, they were essentially apartment buildings of about 15 to 20 floors.

Based on their preliminary estimates, the city had at least a million… some kind of entity, possibly zombies or other creatures.

After discussing the upcoming actions with Hubert, Lin Yi returned to the real world.

On the highway, he conjured a jeep and summoned three people: Solomon, big Xiaochuan.

Xiaochuan was already at level 8, but the others were still busy maintaining their firearms, so they hadn't arrived yet.

The four arrived shortly after at—Suvasong.

Along the way, they saw some suburbs and small towns, but at the moment, they had no time to explore, and those places looked like they had already been thoroughly scavenged.

After driving about a kilometer, Lin Yi started preparing for the major operation.

He conjured three military jeeps equipped with anti-aircraft guns, as well as four reinforced minibuses.

All the vehicles were armored, looking extremely imposing, and their occupants no less intimidating.

There were three hundred people in total, most wearing military uniforms and the latest model of tactical bulletproof vests.

These bulletproof vests were difficult for many assault rifles to penetrate, let alone the shotguns used by ordinary bandits.

About forty soldiers were equipped with system armor, allowing them to transform into a second-level beast form, armed with assault rifles, swords, and hand grenades.

The team of archers at level 5 and above were also in military uniforms, but equipped with Forest Warriors Bows.

Old Mark had already authenticated these weapons, their attributes astonishing the archers of the Shelter.

[Master Hunter's Bow, Level 3]

Only the most experienced warriors can use this bow. It is extremely hard to handle, and though not very accurate, it has great destructive power. Required Power: 18.

[Hidden Attributes]:

Damage: +30

Durability: 50/50

[Price for selling to a shop: 155 coins]

[Legendary Hunter's Bow, Level 4]

In the long existence of the Forest Race, only a few hunters have used this bow. It possesses massive destructive power and excellent precision.

If you embed an Energy Core in it, you can attach the core's element to the arrows shot with this bow. Required Power: 20.

[Hidden Attributes]

Damage: +25

Explosive Damage +50%

Durability: 100/100

[Price for selling to a shop: 3090 coins]

This Legendary Hunter's Bow originally had the Energy Core of an unknown creature embedded in it.

But at the professor's request, it was replaced with the Bear King Core, changing the damage type from explosive damage to electric shock damage.

The owner of this bow is none other than Xiaochuan, nicknamed "Little Water Gun."

Unfortunately, there is only one such bow.

In the Shelter's armory, there are 25 Master Hunter's Bows, and five ordinary level 3 bows.

All archers are stocked with enchanted arrows, the majority of which are explosive arrows.

Lin Yi also equipped a team of Mages, ready to be deployed on the battlefield for support at any time.

This remarkable team advanced slowly towards the town, so that the "Angel's" scouts had enough time to see them and report to their leader in detail.

Inside Suvasong Camp.

Ten minutes before the Shelter Army's appearance.

A 12th-century Gothic Cathedral.

Inside was a spacious nave, the floor covered with carpets and soft cushions, along with benches and mattresses.

The air was filled with an intoxicating fragrance, some women lay on the carpet.

Some women chatted happily, while others trembled from withdrawal...

Where the altar once stood, now sat the throne of a big, blonde man.

He was in good shape, with a six-pack.

The man sat on the throne, eyes closed, enjoying the pleasure provided by the women.

He was abruptly interrupted.

"Sorry to disturb you, the interrogation is over…" said a man in a leather jacket with an angel pattern.

He clearly dared not look directly into the Great Angel's eyes, as if his gaze could turn him into stone…

He also tried not to look at those harem beauties.

The Great Angel collected all the beautiful women… Other members of the gang had to settle for those without pretty faces…

"Get out, I have serious matters to handle."

The Great Angel, full of pride, dismissed the woman from his body and tossed her a small white pill.

"It's my honor to serve you, my lord." The woman trembled as she took the pill and then left.

"Share it!"

"Please! Just a little bit!"

The other girls crowded around her, begging for a small piece of the pill, but she greedily threw the pill into her mouth and swallowed it. After a while, she lay on the carpet with a peaceful expression, clearly high.

"I also want to serve you, my lord! Please, I beg you!"

"Yes, me too!"

Dozens of women, eyes red, hands trembling from withdrawal, ran towards the "vacant spot."

They hoped to get another dose!

"Get back to your positions. I have important matters to handle. Wait for your turn!"

The Great Angel roared, then said, "Speak!"

"Yes, Great Angel… Those people really don't know where the food and the coins are, none of them have seen that merchant, it looks like he never came for the trade after all…"

"Send more people, I want them to find this merchant, maybe he's just been delayed…"

The tone of the Great Angel was like Caesar's, while the bald biker gang member was like a pitiable savage, feeling fortunate to offer tribute and kiss his feet.

"Yes! What about that spy?"

"Execute him, he brought us unreliable information, it's his fault we didn't catch the merchant and his food!"

"Yes, my lord." After saying this, the bald biker gang member bowed and quickly left.

At this point, the Great Angel pointed at a pale, thin, red-eyed blonde woman.

"You, come here!"

"Yes! Yes! I'll do anything you ask, thank you, thank you, my lord!"

The woman cried, then ran towards the throne, almost tripping over her own feet.

The Great Angel watched this scene, merely chuckling softly...
