Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 017: Energy Recycling

Just when the notification that the waiting time had run out, the voice of the news anchor on the radio seemed to tremble.

“Ap- What is it? Li-Look out the window, there's something ..."

Although Fan Chen did not see it, but he could guess what happened there. It is possible that animals in the city start reacting first, acting wild like crazy, then attacking their owners.

Even though the Mutant Beasts were extremely cruel and wild, but there were still some animals that still survived, it could still be used as pets. However, after this, there will probably be no more pets.

“Ma- Dead? She died ... bitten by her own pet?”

“Ti- No! In-He's alive!” There was another sound coming from the radio.

“Ta-But, he was injured, da-blood was flowing in his body .. it looks like rotten.”

“Zo-Zombie!”

After that shout, suddenly the radio lost its signal, only the sound of a broken channel could be heard.

Yun Mingyue took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "The Second Disaster is really coming." He looked at Fan Chen with a complicated expression. Never thought his son's nightmare would come true.

"Mother, there's been an attack. The corpses of the Unburned Mutant Beasts underwent a change, now that they were already Zombie Mutant Beasts."

Yun Mingyue nodded her head with a serious expression. He did not even care and did not want to comment on Fan Chen's bad naming.

Fan Chen patted Fan Xiaoyu's cheeks gently. "Yu'er, Yu'er, get up."

Fan Xiaoyu opened her eyes slowly, blinking her eyes many times. "Early morning?" He rubbed his eyes.

"Zombies are attacking. Yu'er can come or stay here." Fan Chen took off his blanket, then enveloped Fan Xiaoyu before standing up.

Fan Xiaoyu who was originally half-conscious, suddenly widened her eyes full of shock. "Be-Right?"

"Yes." Yeah." Fan Chen nodded briefly, then looked at his mother. "Mother, I'm going east a little to the southeast, and I can go a little to the northeast. To the northeast and southeast, Fu Shen and Fu Shan could do it themselves."

Fan Chen ran into the parking lot with the main weapons of Mingyue Defense: Glock Mayer 22, AR-15, M4 Carbine, Sako TRG M10, DX-5 Ravager. Then he picked up one of the parked bikes, and drove it at full speed.

Fan Chen himself named this place after his mother, and after reaching Level 03, he could give it a name.

Yun Mingyue did not need to think, directly took the same action and went in a different direction.

Fan Xiaoyu looked at her mother and brother who were driving in two different directions. He was pouting, grunting annoyed, but there were also regrets. "I should have followed Brother to practice."

Fan Xiaoyu clenched her hands, then went to the parking lot to pick up an electric bicycle. She stuck a tablet on the handlebars of the bikes, seeing the sign of her mother and sister leaving.

Meanwhile, Fan Chen was already in his place. He carried many weapons, he saw a Mutant Beast whose body was covered in wounds. "There are a hundred in total, and their levels are increasing."

Fan Chen looked at his growth statistics all along with the help of Fu Shen and Fu Shan:

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Fan Chen nodded in satisfaction with his improvement, his training all this time paid off, and Coin© was still left at 2,911©.

Fan Chen purchased a Level 03 Wall Blueprint to increase its height. With this height, the Mutant Beasts could leap at him.

He tossed the Level 03 Wall Blueprint after purchasing it, and paid for the same resources.

After raising the wall, Fan Chen looked at the radar, and heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the Blue-White point where his mother was not falling from the top of the wall.

Fan Chen was afraid that his mother had fallen where many Red-Black dots were outside the walls.

But after learning that his mother survived, Fan Chen was no longer worried. He bought out many weapons, including rocket launchers and hand grenades.

Fan Chen used the M4 Carbine, not only the amount of ammunition that is large, but also the firepower and the distance is higher. He took a deep breath, calming down as he aimed for a brown dog with foul wounds on his legs and lower abdomen.

Bullets darted past the shady trees, breaking through the line of blocking leaves. Then the bullet hit the wolf dog's head and killed him.

Fan Chen continued to shoot when he saw the Mutant Beast Zombie that kept coming nonstop, and from time to time it would be more and more due to hearing the sound of gunfire.

"It looks like we have to build a moat in front of the wall as a front defense."

Fan Chen knew that just a wall was not enough to hold back the zombies that would continue to arrive. Currently it was only a Mutant Beast, but after the fall of the Wind Protection City, the zombies there would definitely be eyeing the Wood Protection City or Mingyue Defense.

But, if the Wood Protection City also fell, then the main target would be Mingyue Defense.

Suddenly...

It sounded like a long trumpet from across the street. He looked at the barren garden with a game, the iron-iron there started to shake and collapse, then Fan Chen looked at the elephant herd with twice the size.

Fan Chen was stunned with an expression of shock that could not be hidden. But soon, he picked up a rocket launcher beside him that was propped up on the wall.

He lifted the rocket launcher, carried it on his shoulders and closed one eye. He took a deep breath, and after he calmed down, he pulled the trigger.

A small missile shot off the rocket launcher, emitting white smoke from its tail.

When it hit one of the elephant zombies, the small missile exploded with a loud noise and a huge flame.

But Fan Chen did not stop, he took another missile, filled it in the rocket launcher and fired it back.

Another explosion came as the missile hit the elephant.

Fan Chen also heard loud gunfire coming towards the northeast direction where his mother was, and upon seeing the radar, many Red-Black dots that signified the Mutant Beast Zombie began to disappear.

"This battle is quite monotonous because of our advantage. But, maybe three or four days later, there will be a Mutant Zombie, it will definitely be harder to deal with than the corpse of this beast."

"With a Level 03 Refuge, I can summon thirty people from the Summoning Feature. No matter how much it costs, no matter what the quality is, each one still counts one person."

Originally, Fan Chen had thought Guardian★ counted ten, but it turned out that one, thus, there were still 28 slots.

"Can Basic Warriors be upgraded?"

[System Reminder: Basic Warriors can be upgraded through training or using Coin©. Even a Basic Warrior could possess abilities like a General, but for rank, it depended on the Host as the owner of Mingyue Defense]

Fan Chen nodded, then rushed in the other direction where the Red-Black dot was located.

...

The battle lasted for an entire hour, killing over 1500 enemies in total from four places. This was a huge harvest, but what Yun Mingyue had killed did not give Fan Chen Coin©.

Fan Chen sighed as he sat on the higher wall with his legs hanging. He looked at the heavily damaged battlefield, the numerous holes due to the rocket launchers, the trees knocked down by the rhinos, and the walls slightly scratched.

"Is there a tool that can be used to decipher these corpses?"

[System Reminder: There is! Host can buy Decomposer at 100© price. One tool can parse at most 25 bodies simultaneously, and the deciphered corpse will produce Coin© as much as 50% of the time still alive]

Fan Chen felt this price was acceptable, and might even be in his favor. So he instantly spent 500© to buy, and installed it behind the wall beside the gate.

He also spent 600© to summon Basic Workers to improve performance, and they were all-rounders as long as they were given the appropriate training, but it remained impossible to undergo military training.

But from the beginning, he called the Basic Workers only to develop infrastructure, not military power.
