Chapter 228 Site Selection for the Second Doomsday Fortress
As expected, everyone was in an uproar after Lin Muyan left.
"What does our boss mean by that? And what exactly is the Doomsday Fortress?"
"Wow, I've heard that they are indeed building a doomsday shelter. It's said to be a place with a very strong defense system, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Experts will also develop a wide-ranging air purification system, so there's no need to worry about toxins in the air."
"Those shelters will definitely prioritize people with status and background, right? Although we were all rich and powerful before the apocalypse, we probably weren't that high-status. After all, money is the most useless thing in the apocalypse. There's no such thing as a wealthy family or tycoon anymore."
"Does the boss mean she can get us a spot? That's great!"
Wei Turing, standing to the side, simply smiled and did not tell them the truth.
Once Lin Muyan returns, everyone will no longer have to live in fear.
Because these days, although the S Special Zone is relatively safe, there is no zombie horde at all, and vicious incidents of mutated beasts injuring people are not frequent, people should feel at ease.
But unfortunately, these two threats are not the only ones that threaten the end of the world.
The most terrifying and difficult to resist dangers are those that are more cruel and unavoidable.
That's the toxins spreading in the air, gradually getting out of control.
The air quality, which was originally quite good, has now deteriorated due to the spread of toxins. The smog in the air is even visible to the naked eye, making it feel like we are in a poisonous miasma from which no one can escape.
Gas masks are not common items, and even they don't have many.
People can only go out wearing masks now, but even if they wear multiple masks, toxins can still invade the body and harm their health.
This toxin is like a slow-acting poison, gradually eroding the body until it takes a person's life.
In recent days, bad news has come from some people who were already in poor health after breathing in too much toxic air.
Before they die, those people go insane, becoming like zombies, bloodthirsty and brutal, losing their humanity.
In other words, if this toxic air is left unchecked, humanity will eventually turn into zombies.
The authorities have developed an inhibitor that can temporarily alleviate the damage to the body caused by the toxins.
But that potion is very expensive; one dose requires fifty crystal cores to exchange for.
Moreover, one injection only lasts for three days, requiring continuous injections.
The military has amassed a large number of armed forces to clear out zombies and mutated beasts in the special zone. Opportunities to obtain crystal cores within the city are becoming increasingly scarce, forcing them to hunt for them in other towns outside the special zone. This not only greatly increases the difficulty but also makes the risks and rewards increasingly disproportionate.
So right now, things seem to be getting better in Zone S, but in reality, it's just barely hanging on.
Everyone's life is entering its final countdown...

When Lin Muyan arrived at the helipad, several helicopters and fighter jets were already waiting.
She asked Fu Sinian to go to Chief Xiao and explain the situation, telling him that the doomsday fortress in Special Zone S was about to be completed.
Incidentally, he also mentioned the idea of building a second doomsday fortress, which requires site selection.
After Fu Ssu-nien explained the situation, Xiao Huai-feng was greatly shocked, but when he tried to ask for more details, Fu Ssu-nien dodged the question.
With the sea fog still thick, Xiao Huaifeng dared not risk exploring, lest he anger the mysterious lord of the Doomsday Fortress and become a sinner.
So when he first learned about Doomsday Fortress, he secretly suppressed the matter and did not let it reach the ears of the higher-ups.
But now, the other party has sent someone to say that they can build a second doomsday fortress and need his help in choosing a site and some advice. This matter can no longer be suppressed.
After the higher-ups found out, they outwardly listened to his advice and did not investigate the Doomsday Fortress.
But it's hard to say whether there are people with ulterior motives trying to pull some tricks behind the scenes.
During their private conversation that day, Xiao Huaifeng had tentatively reminded Fu Sinian.
“Young friend, this matter is of great importance, and I can’t keep it from my superiors, especially this time, since the boss behind you is going to other places to select sites and conduct research. This matter can’t be kept secret.”
"If the higher-ups find out, then..."
"The Doomsday Fortress is, after all, just an inanimate object. It can belong to anyone. Do you understand what I mean?"
Fu Sinian relayed what Elder Xiao had said to Lin Muyan.
"This old man is reminding you that if the higher-ups insist on giving you ownership of the Doomsday Fortress, there's nothing you can do. After all, on this land, no matter what, you can't fight city hall, even though it's already the end of the world."
"Shouldn't we take precautions? It's like a real estate company building a house; you have to buy the land first before you can build, and only then is the house yours. Even though it's the end of the world, but..."
Fu Sinian was very worried that Lin Muyan would directly confront the entire country for the sake of the Doomsday Fortress.
He didn't know more details about the Doomsday Fortress and was genuinely worried that Lin Muyan would become the target of everyone's criticism.
Lin Muyan, however, was confident and comforted Fu Sinian instead.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Anyway, the Doomsday Fortress in Zone S will be completed soon. Once they're inside, they'll have to see if they have the ability to make the Doomsday Fortress change hands."
The Dominator is in her possession, and can control every corner of the Doomsday Fortress. The contract clearly states that the Dominator cannot be transferred to others or taken away.
Whether the Doomsday Fortress exists or is destroyed is entirely up to her; no one else can influence it.
If some high-ranking official makes a foolish mistake and rushes to commit suicide, there's nothing she can do about it.
On the tarmac, Xiao Li was already waiting quietly.
When he saw Lin Muyan, he was not surprised at all, and became more and more certain in his heart that the mysterious master of the doomsday fortress was Lin Muyan.
Accompanying them was a familiar face to Lin Muyan, Huang Zhen.
The Hidden Dragon Team escorted Lin Muyan to several major cities to inspect and select sites, while Huang Zhen merely accompanied her and was unaware of the Doomsday Fortress.
Seeing that the person they had specially waited for was Lin Muyan, Huang Zhen gritted his teeth inwardly.
He just didn't understand. Wasn't she just someone who might be the first to awaken superpowers? Why were the higher-ups paying so much attention to her?
In his view, with the number of awakened individuals increasing one after another, and more and more powerful awakened individuals emerging, Lin Muyan might not actually be that powerful.
"She's the one we're escorting this time? Colonel Xiao, there's nothing ulterior motive involved, is there?"
As Huang Zhen spoke, Lin Muyan had already arrived and heard what he said.
Before Xiao Li could give Huang Zhen a cold look, Lin Muyan chuckled and said:
"Does your army have no one else capable? Why send him on this mission?"
"You! I am a colonel, who do you think you are?"
Huang Zhen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but Lin Muyan remained calm and composed, adding slowly and deliberately:
"How could you think I'm looking down on you, Colonel Huang? I'm not trying to be mean, but you're a colonel, how can you be so insecure?"
