Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 019: Leaving Mingyue Defense

Fan Chen gained a huge harvest with just the first wave of attacking zombies. Now he was already Level 20, and felt a change in his body.

Now, he could confidently say that he was the Awakened One. From this, Fan Chen understood, it was likely that every 20 levels once, his body would undergo a significant change.

Then, if an ordinary human was considered to have 60 statistical points in total, there was a chance that the Awakened would have 180 points. But it was only a guess and could not be used as a benchmark, because he himself had not seen the Awakened One with his own eyes.

The coins he had earned from the beginning until now were quite a lot, with a total

5.711©, and that is included with the expenditure of 1.100© when buying Decomposer.

Just needing to kill 298 Level 03 Mutant Beasts, he could obtain Coin© with sufficient amount to purchase the Level 04 Headquarters Blueprint. But he did not want to buy it now, at the moment he just wanted to add more people, and now there were still 23 slots left.

As for the Watchtower that he wanted so badly, Fan Chen could hold it off for now.

Now, Fan Chen was in the Supervisory Room to observe if there were still zombies. But it was a pity, there was no Red-Black dot as expected, all the terrain near Mingyue Defense had already been cleared.

"Do I have to go to the Wind Protection City? Supposedly, the city there has been leveled, I can kill zombies and take all the money. With a total of 60,0000 people, even if they were only basic levels, there were at least 60,000 Coin©."

Even though there were 60,000 Coin©, Fan Chen was not too happy, as he knew, in order to obtain that amount, he would have to risk his life.

Fan Chen tapped the table with his finger. "The question is, will you let me go?"

Fan Chen leaned his body on the chair, looked at the ceiling of the room and sighed. "The Mutant Beasts we have encountered so far are weak. According to the news I read before exiting the Wind Protection City, there was a Mutant Beast whose claw was able to pierce through the armored car. If Level 20 was a Awakened Basic level, and following the fact the Mutant Beasts were able to break through steel, there was a chance that this Mutant Beast had a Level 60."

"With Fu Shen and Fu Shan's abilities, it should be able to kill a Level 60 Mutant Beast."

Fan Chen pondered for a moment as he looked at Coin© and tapped his finger on the table. "Use all Coin© to Call!"

[System Indicator: Successfully call Woodworker ×2 (300©), Chef ×1 (200©), Basic Warrior ×5 (2.500©), Sniper ×2 (2.000©). Spend 5,000©]

[System Instructions: Coin System remaining 711©]

Fan Chen took out a communicator and connected it to Fu Shen. "Fu Shen, please pick up the people outside the gate and arrange them. Then ask Fu Shan to train all the Basic Warriors, after which come to the Supervisory Room."

“Good, Captain!"

Initially Fu Shen and Fu Shan always called Fan Chen with the designation “Tuan”, but after continuing to communicate, finally the call changed to “Kapten”.

"Do I need to buy a helicopter? But too dangerous, it needs a suitable place for landing. If we're surrounded by zombies, we can't take off either."

"By the way, I have to save a hundred humans to complete a side mission. The reward is quite satisfactory, Gold Mine!"

If there was a Gold Mine, Fan Chen would no longer need to fear the lack of money. Gold could be changed to Yuan(¥), and he could buy all the items using Yuan(¥) in the Stronghold Shop.

Waiting for a few minutes, there was a knock from outside the door.

"Lake in." Fan Chen had to admit Fu Shen's performance was quite practical. It didn't take long to complete all the arrangements, and now it had arrived at the Supervisory Room.

The door opened, revealing Fu Shen who was standing upright. Take a straight step, and stand in front of Fan Chen with both hands behind his waist.

"Prepare, grab weapons and ammunition in the warehouse. We'll use Conquest Knight XV and get out, we'll hunt zombies in the Wind Protection City."

"Good, Captain!" Fu Shen stomped his right foot in a ready manner, then turned around after obtaining permission.

Fan Chen sighed, he turned his chair to look at the radar for one more time, then stood up and turned towards the exit.

Now, the most difficult thing to do, which was to ask permission, was to convince her mother that she must be fine leaving Mingyue Defense.

It didn't take long until he arrived on a field the size of a football field. Fan Chen saw Yun Mingyue was watching Fan Xiaoyu who was running around the field to increase his stamina and physique.

"Mother."

Yun Mingyue turned to look at Fan Chen who was approaching. "What's wrong? Is there a need for you?"

Fan Chen nodded while scratching his head. "That's, I want to go to Wind Protection City."

"For what?! I won't allow it!"

"Energy Crystals?" Yun Mingyue frowned, never once hearing about it. "What's that?"

Fan Chen explained about the Energy Crystals as he knew them. He himself did not know at first, but Yu Feng who was the first Basic Worker to be summoned, reported finding the white-colored crystal from the corpse of the Mutant Zombie Beast.

"According to Fu Shan's diversion, the Energy Crystals found inside these zombies could replace the fuel. But not all zombies have Energy Crystals, with zombies like this, only five percent chance of getting them. If a zombie was equivalent to a Mutant Beast capable of damaging an armored car, it was certain to have an Energy Crystal with even greater energy contained within it."

Yun Mingyue pondered for a moment, she thought that this matter did not exist before. "No!" He shook his head and said, "Dangerous outside, didn't Chen'er himself say that the Wind Protection City would collapse, but why would he still want to go there?"

Fan Chen turned his face with a frown on his forehead, he thought hard to get permission. Then suddenly, he approached, hugging Yun Mingyue with his body slightly bent so that he was shorter. "Mother, I beg ..."

Yun Mingyue was speechless when she saw her extremely spoiled son. He wanted to break away from Fan Chen's embrace, but he realized that Fan Chen's power was stronger. He sighed, rubbing his son's head that was on his chest. "Alright, but Chen'er has to be careful, and keep reporting every fifteen minutes."

Fan Chen let go of his embrace and nodded. "Well, I'll have Fu Shen send out the morse code every set time."

In Stronghold Shop there is a tool capable of sending signals within a radius of more than 100 kilometers, the tool is valued at 1500©. But there was a requirement that had to be met, which was a Level 04 Tracking Tower.

Morse code requires signals, but does not have high requirements when it comes to networking. With the Level 03 Tracking Tower, that was enough, but Fan Chen still had to buy a tool like a tape recorder, pressing a button with a certain time to send out a message.

"Is Brother going?" Fan Xiaoyu came with a breath of breath. His face was drenched in sweat, and his clothes stuck together, revealing his curves.

Fan Chen nodded, raised his hand above Fan Xiaoyu's head, and suddenly a towel appeared. "Yes, maybe two or three days. After I return, I will definitely bring you the Evolution Fluid."

Fan Xiaoyu nodded, she did not ask where her brother was going, as it probably would not be told, and after all she could ask her mother.

Yun Mingyue opened her mouth about to say, but swallowed back her words. He's allowed it, but doesn't know he'll be gone for three days. But back again, he did not ask how long his son had been away.

"Then I go first. Good bye." Fan Chen immediately turned around before waiting for a reply. He went outside the Main Headquarters where Fu Shen was waiting.

All the men who were summoned as if they had self-awareness, they would not have entered the Main Headquarters if not summoned, which was why Fan Chen had moved a portion of the house from the Main Headquarters outside.

Fan Chen had already arrived outside, he saw Fu Shen was setting up Conquest Knight XV. There are four rocket launchers at the top, and two on the left and right respectively.

"Do you understand how to modify a car?"

Fu Shen nodded small and replied, "We Guardians have a lot of knowledge, but even so, our modification ability is nothing compared to the Mechanics."

Fan Chen understood this, Mechanics are indispensable, but for the time being all he needed was warriors to defend Mingyue Defense.

He hoped to quickly have 10,000 soldiers, so that he could build his own military system. But it was still a long way off, he should have Coin© in bulk, and his estimation ranged from 80,000,000 Coin©.

Fan Chen sighed and said, "The road is still long. Engineer, Mechanic, Doctor, Scientist, Alchemist ..."

Many more, there are even scientists who study the genes of the human body, muscles, nerve tissue and so forth. This makes it possible to modify the body, replacing the lost body with a machine.

The top mechanics that have the ability to make rockets, make large planes that can fly stay in one place. If at sea, it could be called a Mother Ship.

Engineers who were able to create the Blueprint Headquarters Level 08. But, it costs so much!

Fan Chen shook his head, opened the car door and sat down in the passenger seat.

Fu Shen opened the door, he sat in the steering chair. "We're leaving now, Captain?"

"Yes." Yeah." Fan Chen nodded small and answered him briefly.

Immediately, the car lit up and drove at high speed following the built road.

In the outer area, there was already a Sniper standing guard. He opened the gate, let the car out, then closed it again.
