Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 015: Calling the Guardian

Fan Chen arrived at the Supervisory Room in the Main Hall. This space has an area of 625 square meters, dark gray walls with shiny black floors. On the wall in the north, there is a large screen with dimensions of 300 × 500 centimeters.

The screen shows a multi-layered green circle with a black back, and one of the green lines rotates continuously clockwise. It scanned the surroundings nonstop.

The bottom right corner there are various colors with the explanation:

Blue, Host or Refuge. Green, friend or colleague. White, which means neutral. Yellow, noteworthy and should be careful. Red, enemies or individuals who have bad intentions. Black with red stripes outside, Mutant Beasts or Zombies!

"Show Guardian★ I got."

The screen changed from radar to two photos with information on the side.

A middle-aged man with an Asian face, had fine hairs on his face. His short hair was black with a cut on his eyebrows.

Beside him was in his thirties. His hair was brown, slightly long, his eyes sharp.

Both wore military black pants, strong black military shoes, and wore a T-shirt with a vest. Currently there was still no rank on the shoulders of the two, but of ability, on par with a Lieutenant General.

"Not having a name? Then he'll be Fu Shen, and the other Fu Shan."

[System Directive: Successfully provide name to Guardian★ (Fu Shen) and Guardian★ (Fu Shan)]

Fan Chen opened his eyes wide when he saw the information listed. It was too high, even with the Stronghold System and continuing to level up until his level was on par, he still doubted whether his stats would be the same as the two.

"It's true, everything doesn't fit. With 55 Stamina, it should be 550 Fatigue. With 50 Vitality, it should be 1,250 Blood."

[System Reminder: The Host does not need to feel inferior. Guardians are not humans, they are machines made with special methods]

Fan Chen did not feel happy at all despite having expected it.

[System Reminder: Not everyone who is called has high stats. It was only because they were Guardians that they could have them]

"All right, all right."

[System Reminder: Your Guardian has been active. The Guardian will always be loyal to the Host, they will carry out any orders. All Guardian★ have the ability in bare-handed combat, expertise in using all firearms, capable of operating all land, air and water vehicles]

[Does the Host want Guardian ★ sent in the Supervisory Room or outside the Refuge?]

"Send them on the outside of the wall."

It was impossible for Fan Chen to ask them to appear here, it was too conspicuous. So he asked the system to send both of them on the outside, so that he could receive them like welcoming guests, and it was not too conspicuous, although it would both get a sense of suspicion from Yun Mingyue.

Fan Chen walked out of the Supervisory Room and descended to the bottom floor. "Supervisory Room must be renovated, it is not good if the Supervisory Room controls one full floor."

When he went downstairs, he saw Fan Xiaoyu who wanted to go up.

"Sister?" Fan Xiaoyu was slightly surprised.

Fan Chen wanted to calm his heartache when he saw the Guardian★ stats by hugging Fan Xiaoyu. "Let me hold you for a minute."

Fan Xiaoyu was confused, not knowing why her brother was like this, but she remained silent and returned her embrace.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Fan Xiaoyu nodded and replied, "Yes, Yu'er sleeps with Mom, so Yu'er sleeps well."

"Three more days the zombies came, was Yu'er ready? Does Yu'er want to try practicing using firearms?"

Fan Xiaoyu looked up at Fan Chen. "Can?"

Fan Chen rubbed Fan Xiaoyu's soft and delicate cheeks. "Sure, but before practicing using weapons, Yu'er had to train physically. Starting today's afternoon before taking a bath, Yu'er had to take physical training, starting from running around Main Headquarters."

Fan Xiaoyu's smile froze when she heard that she had to practice. She turned her face slowly, avoiding her brother's gaze. "That, suddenly Yu'er was not interested."

Fan Chen exhaled, but he kept a faint smile. He let go of his embrace, rubbing Fan Xiaoyu's head. "Alright, but if Yu'er changes her mind, Yu'er can get into physical training."

After saying that, Fan Chen exited the Main Hall towards the parking lot where there were dozens of vehicles there: Inkas Huron APC, Paramount Marauder, Conquest Knight XV, Hammer H2, and so on, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and others.

Fan Chen picked up the Hummer H2, then drove it towards the outer gate.

He took out a small tool and stuck it on the dashboard of the car, it was a new radar that had no buttons at all. The radar is connected to the Tracker Tower, and on the radar there are seven green dots on the Main Headquarters, two green dots on the outside, two blue dots on the inside (Headquarters and Hosts).

Then there are dozens of red dots on the other side of the cliff, as well as the southeast and northeast parts of the wall.

It didn't take long to arrive, because the tree leading to the gate had already been cut down, and the road had been leveled.

Fan Chen got down from the car, and walked towards the gate, then opened it.

He looked at Fu Shen and Fu Shan, their performances corresponding to the photos shown in the Supervisory Room.

"Fu Shen reported to Master!"

"Fu Shan reported to Master!"

The two stood straight and raised their hands, saluting the military.

Fan Chen was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to give the same respect, then lowered it.

Fu Shen and Fu Shan lowered their hands after seeing Fan Chen.

"From today, you will be on guard over the wall. Kill the invading Mutant Beasts, and if there are humans, please report first." Fan Chen provided communicators on both, as well as the DX-5 Ravager, Sako TRG M10, AR-15, M4 Carbine, Glock Mayer 22, and 10,000 rounds of ammunition for each.

Just for this, Fan Chen at least spent ¥8,126,520.

The two received each other's weapons along with an ammo box.

"If you want to eat, you can go inside. I'll also wake you up to the living quarters here, along with the supplies. For now, that's all."

Saying that, Fan Chen woke up another house by spending 2000 Wood, 3500 Stone, 150 Iron.

Seeing this price, Fan Chen felt pain. Indeed, the price of the Blueprint Headquarters package is cheaper than the unit.

"Ready!"

The two of them paid their respects back, and Fan Chen also saluted. When Fan Chen lowered his hands, the two immediately rushed up the wall, then patrolled in two different places.

Fan Chen was not too used to this. He only had Guardian★, but had already given a military salute like this. If he had hundreds or thousands, it felt better, not awkward like this.

Now, Fan Chen had to go back to explain about Fu Shen and Fu Shan to his mother in order to avoid any misunderstandings. Then, today was the schedule he had for hunting Mutant Beasts from the top of the cliff behind.

[System Instructions: Successfully killed a Level 03 Fire Wolf (Mutation). +6 Coin System, +3 Points]

"Eh?!" Fan Chen was shocked with his mouth open when he saw the notice that suddenly appeared in front of him. Immediately, he saw Fu Shen who was firing a shot.

"Did the Mutant Beast that Guardian★ killed also give me Coin©?" Fan Chen still could not hide his shock.

But soon, he smiled. With this, he could collect Coin© without having to do it himself, and he began to look forward to having an army in large numbers.
