When the seas become polluted, followed by acidic rain, massive storms, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, smog, extreme heat, blizzards, freezing cold, and various disasters kept occurring nonstop, mon...
Junjue thought about the future meteorite catastrophe and knew he had to find her no matter what, otherwise he would truly lose his beloved.
In the southern capital, they finally found a relatively safe place to live.
This place is an abandoned underground laboratory at the foot of a mountain, complete with facilities and supplies.
The five smaller hills beside the main mountain are not far from Anning's capital.
If it weren't for Junjue using his psychic abilities to sense things, he really wouldn't have been able to find such a wonderful place.
On the other side of the capital city are continuous high mountains. Considering that there are still mutated animals and plants, he did not go to live in a mountainous area.
These six large mountains here are perfect for us to utilize as a base for future development; that would be ideal.
In front is a city that has been leveled, and behind it are six large mountains. We can build any size base we want in the future.
Lord and his teammates began to work on developing this place into a permanent habitable home.
With six large mountain peaks, his air-raid shelters can be placed at the foot of the mountains to avoid the energy fluctuations caused by meteorites hitting the Earth from all over the world.
"Great! After several days, we've finally found a nice place."
"The captain said we'll be living here permanently from now on."
"As long as you follow the captain, you can go anywhere!"
"Yeah! Anyway, every city is dilapidated now, it's all the same no matter where you live!" a group of teammates said happily.
"Everyone is responsible for reinforcing the defenses here these next few days," Junjue said to his teammates.
The teammates nodded excitedly in response: "Okay, Captain. We will do our best to build this place into an impregnable fortress."
"I'll release the fortress first, and you can surround it when you have time."
Anyway, there are six mutated pets watching over the fortress; they'll alert us if anything happens. The Duke figured that even the best defenses were futile, and the fortress was sturdy enough anyway.
"Understood, Captain!"
The ruler silently placed the spatial fortress on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain.
From now on, this fortress will be their home on the ground, and the air-raid shelter rewarded by the system can be placed anywhere they want. Later, he will place it under the mountain.
Release the five black creatures, daylily, little black, little white, little white tiger, and wolf king from the system space, and say to the six:
"You all stay here and guard the house. If you get hungry, go hunting in the distant mountains."
"Awoo~"
"Woof woof~"
The five black daylilies obediently responded, and the other pets nodded as well.
In the days that followed, Junjue and his teammates began their hard work in construction.
Everyone is making use of their own strengths and talents.
Su Ye was in charge of collecting and storing ingredients, Di Zhantian and Ye Yuan were in charge of building the wall, Yue Ying was in charge of patrolling the perimeter with Gouzi, Chen Fan was like a brick that was moved wherever needed, and Butler Zhao and the others took care of everyone's daily life.
The teammates worked together seamlessly, silently fulfilling their responsibilities.
This small team is becoming more and more cohesive, with everyone working hard towards a common goal.
While the construction was underway, Junjue planned to search for Wan'er's whereabouts once it was completed.
As time went by, the teammates' efforts gradually paid off.
With the establishment of the outpost completed and the protective walls around the base gradually repaired, life gradually stabilized.
People began rebuilding their homes and restarting their lives.
In the rebuilding of a devastated world, after a period of restoration and construction, the various bases, just when people thought everything was back on track, discovered a shocking problem.
There is a severe shortage of supplies, and production cannot be resumed. Without seeds and good soil, cultivation is impossible, and all bases are still unable to solve the problem of supply shortage.
Food, water, fuel, and other essential supplies for production and daily life are becoming increasingly scarce.
This problem began to trouble the senior management of various bases, who contacted Junjue hoping he could provide assistance.
Hopefully, he can use his abilities to resolve this predicament.
In the afternoon, Junjue received call requests from various bases.
He sat in his spacious office in his fortress, facing a screen that kept flashing calls.
"What's going on? Why are so many bases looking for me?"
Junjue calmed his rapidly beating heart and pressed the answer button.
The representative of the first base immediately appeared on the screen, a fictitious, energetic middle-aged man who was a high-ranking official of the base.
"My Lord, our shortage of supplies has reached an unbearable level."
We originally thought that the problems would be gradually resolved as the base was restored and rebuilt, but in reality we still cannot guarantee our production and living needs.
We've heard you have a lot of supplies, and we earnestly request your help in solving this problem.
After a moment's thought, the Duke realized the problem couldn't be solved by the entire production system, and then asked, "Do you have any suggestions? How can we solve this problem?"
The base representative pondered for a moment, then said, "We know you have moved to the southern capital. We are willing to send people to the southern capital to exchange zombie crystal cores for the necessary supplies."
As long as we can maintain production, we can solve this problem once the base's own supplies are restored.
Junjue frowned slightly, realizing that this suggestion was not easy to make.
Zombie crystals are now a very precious resource, and since the zombies have been eliminated, there will be no more zombie crystals in the future.
It can be used not only as an upgrade reserve but also to produce advanced technological products. However, without resolving the base's resource shortage problem, production cannot resume, and the entire reconstruction effort will be severely hampered.
"Alright, I'll consider this suggestion. You guys finish adjusting the communication equipment here first, and I'll hold another meeting tomorrow to inform you of my decision." Junjue gave an ambiguous answer, leaving room for further discussion.
The base representative seemed dissatisfied with the Duke's answer, but he also understood the Duke's pressure and predicament, and could only nod and say:
"Then we'll do as Captain Jun says. We hope you can give us a reply as soon as possible. We need your help to get through this difficult time."
Junjue nodded, then disconnected from the representative of the first base.
Over the next few hours, Junjue made several calls to the senior management of various bases to understand their needs and difficulties.
He deeply felt their anxiety and longing, and understood the responsibility on his shoulders.
Luckily, I have 100,000 space resources totaling one million square meters, otherwise the pressure would be really too great!
At the meeting on the second day, Junjue solemnly announced his decision to the numerous base representatives in front of the screen.
"Gentlemen, I know you are facing difficulties right now, but I believe we can overcome everything." Junjue's voice was steady and firm, echoing throughout the conference rooms of all the bases.
The base representatives nodded in agreement, as if they could sense the power emanating from the monarch.
