Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 002: Linking System

Fan Chen had no idea what was really going on and simply remained silent without a word as he looked at the interface on the game before his eyes, or perhaps saying that it was directly embedded in his retina.

His body felt warm with comfort, as if a beautiful woman was hugging him. The tiredness he felt slowly began to disappear, his thin cheeks that until forming cheekbones recovered slowly, the dark circles in his eyes faded, and his weight that rose back to the top.

[You get the Starter Pack, the Starter Pack has been sent to your Inventory]

[System Reminder: The Host's body has been healed]

Fan Chen continued to look at the interfaces popping up one after another. There was shock and pleasure at seeing the system related to his body, and this was what he had been waiting for since transmigrating to Earth-2.

Fan Chen tried to control the system interface, and it turned out that it could be operated with either eyes or mind. Thus, he did not need to wave his hands that could be considered like crazy when seen by others.

"Open the Beginner's Package."

Fan Chen again fell silent without a word as he looked at the interface that had appeared. He never imagined that his dream, it would turn out to be a reality not long from now.

Information about firearms entered his head after mastering the Shooter skill. It was as if he was capable of using all weapons, including assembling it himself.

"Strongholds ... System?"

"Roof? Shouldn't it be Fortress? Maybe metaphorically? Like, building a shelter anywhere, a cave, a field, an island, or something?"

Fan Chen climbed down from his bed and took out the Glock Mayer 22. "Pistol is semi-automatic, and can change mode to machine gun."

"But ..." Fan Chen shifted his gaze from the Glock Mayer 22 to the interface that was still in front of him. "DX-5 Ravager is more amazing. It can kill enemies within a range of seven kilometers and penetrate walls or steel."

Fan Chen looked familiar with firearms, not only because of the skills he acquired, but on Earth before, there was a VR-based FPS game. He had played a few times and was used to weapons, so all the savings he had ran out because renting a VR Capsule was too expensive, let alone his job which was only a construction material lifter.

Vr Capsules? Yep! Earth-1 is in the year 2078, and Earth-2 is in the year 2027. The technology here is also fairly slow, here is still 5G for internet speed, but on Earth-1 in that year has started to develop 7G.

Fan Chen waved his hand, eliminating the interface that was piling up in front of him. Then open another interface to see the statistics of its power.

Fan Chen observed the interface revealing his strength stats. He tried to calculate all the points obtained and for whatever was listed there.

It only took a minute, Fan Chen had already understood it well.

"If Stamina for breath fatigue and so on, then Endurance for muscle fatigue such as cramps, aches, and pain in certain parts."

Fan Chen waved his hand, eliminating the statistical interface of strength. "Stronghold's Shop."

[Requires 5,000 Wood and 5,000 Stones]

Fan Chen nodded his head, then changed the function to scan if there was a suitable place to build the Refuge.

There were ten main places that allowed him to construct the Refuge: Laoshsn Scenic Area, Wulingyuan Scenic, Erhai Lake, Yanoda Rainforest Cultural, National Forest Park of Mount Guanyin, Shuilianshan Forest Park, and many others, Mao'er Mountain National Forest Park, Fuzhou National Forest Park, Diaoluo Mountain, Sanya Tropical Paradise.

Fan Chen looked at the pictures, watching them every corner.

"The Rainforest Cultural Yanoda." Fan Chen had decided on it. It is a tourist spot, but better than any other place.

For example, Shuilianshan Forest Park is a beautiful place, there are bridges, water flows in large quantities, including buildings. But, he saw the place was very crowded and there were guards there.

Diaoluo Mountain, it's a pretty high place with a mountain. Looking at it from the picture, he could tell the mineral resources embedded in it, but to take the water, it was very difficult even though there was a waterfall, and access to the road was quite complicated.

Fan Chen was also not afraid of building in Yanoda Rainforest Cultural National Forest Park. That was because the Sanctuary that was built would be awake and could not be seen until the countdown was complete, and only those who were allowed could enter or see it.

After the countdown time is over, the Refuge will appear, but still not everyone can enter it. If it was not allowed, others could only forcefully break into it, or ride it, but of course there was prevention.

But unfortunately the list listed is a list where no monsters have attacked yet, and should now have changed names.

Fan Chen turned his head to the right, then walked to the table to pick up the phone. He's already decided.

"Mother?"

"What's up, Chen'er?"

Fan Chen bit his lips, hesitating for a moment whether to tell him even though he had originally decided on it. "Mother, what if we sell all the shares and move to Hainan?"

There was no answer for a while, this was the same as before when they were talking on the phone.

"Can Chen'er explain what he means?"

Fan Chen was speechless, there was no way he would directly talk about the zombie apocalypse that was coming in seven days.

"All right." After Fan Chen had only been silent for quite a long time, Yan Mingyue finally understood. "Mother will be back as soon as tonight ..."

"Good, Mommy."

"Wait!"

Fan Chen who was about to close the call, held her back and asked, "What's up, Mom?"

"Your voice! You're cured? Uh! Nah! I'll be back now, I want to see for myself!"

Fan Chen did not reply yet, the call was already closed first.

Fan Chen looked at the phone in a daze, then placed it on the table, then he saw all the things in the room. With a wave of his hand, everything disappeared, stored within the Inventory.

"Now at nine in the morning, there is still time. Should I follow the recommended places? Nah! Too far, it took days, especially after the air track no longer works."

Fan Chen did not change his clothes when he came out of the room. He wanted to wait for his mother below, as well as come to the city library to see the latest information. The Internet, no longer working, can only be used to make simple calls.

As he went down the stairs to come to the ground floor, he heard a shattering sound and looked towards the source of the sound.

He looked at Fan Xiaoyu who was staring at him blankly with her mouth open like “O”, both of her hands in front of her stomach, and in front of Fan Xiaoyu's feet were broken bowls with hot soup strewn about.

"A-Sister?!"
