Chapter 82
Everything was going smoothly in the shelter, so Ye Qing shifted his focus to the progress of the binding in the remaining two affiliated towns.
Lu Zhicheng's parents' notebooks were incredibly detailed, detailing everything from the base's coordinates and the person in charge to the basics of the base's personnel and the person's appearance and temperament. Although the records were from 10 years ago, and much might have changed over time, having a general orientation made everything easier.
Ye Qing asked the two responsible persons to make a copy of the notes for reference.
Zuo Yi led the team to the west. The team had experience in visiting other shelters, and with the guidance of the notebook, they thought that this mission would go very smoothly.
Their employees who are sent out to work enjoy long periods of vacation, which is a reward from the boss for their hard work.
Zuo Yi had already made plans. It would take 2-3 days to reach the destination, 1-2 weeks to persuade the other city lord, and then he could return to the city to rest happily.
But what they didn't expect was that they encountered a sandstorm halfway. They were caught off guard and the team hurriedly found a cave and wasted a long time there.
After the radiation, plants and animals were alienated, the original ecological balance was broken, the land became increasingly barren, and gradually turned into desertification. The desertification was more serious in the western region due to low rainfall and dry land.
The records in the notebook are about what happened 10 years ago. At that time, there was no such severe sandstorm and everything was caught off guard.
Fortunately, in order to protect themselves from the sun, they asked a metal-type mutant to install a roof on the back of the pickup truck before they came. Thanks to this roof, they can temporarily avoid the violent wind and sand outside.
"Xiaochuan, have you made contact through [Voice Transmission]? Report our situation to the boss." Zuo Yi asked in a cold voice as he listened to the whistling wind outside.
Their original plan was to complete the task in one month, but now they have been delayed for several days. In order not to worry the city, they still have to report in advance.
But the team with the [Voice Transmission] ability was sent to Linzhi. Strangely, since the sandstorm began, they have never received any news from the [Voice Transmission].
As the dedicated communication bridge with [Voice Transmission], Zuo Xiaochuan looked melancholy: "I've been paying attention all the time, but I haven't heard from her. Maybe the sandstorm has blocked the communication, or maybe something went wrong with her."
Zuo Yi frowned. "Why is there no news yet? Don't we communicate with each other every day? What's going on in Linzhi?"
"I don't know either." Zuo Xiaochuan hung his eyes. He felt innocent when being scolded by the boss.
The sandstorm did block some communications, but some transmission was still possible when the energy was low. On the other hand, something went wrong in Linzhi.
Part of the reason was that Ye Qing did not think it through. He thought that they were all capable people, one civil and one martial, and that working together would definitely make things easy.
But I didn't expect that they are all leaders in their respective fields. Putting them together is like a tit-for-tat, with no one willing to give in.
This was a team that was put together at random. Everyone had never cooperated with each other and had little tacit understanding, so there were constant frictions along the way.
Linzhi felt that Tu Ping was stupid and disobedient, often acting on his own whim and delaying the team's progress.
Tu Ping felt that Lin Zhi was not his boss, so he was naturally dissatisfied with her acting like a leader.
Both sides were able to tolerate each other at first, but later they exploded and had a big fight.
Lin Zhi likes to introvert and likes to order others around. Although Ye Qing gave her the overall responsibility for this visit, she is too straightforward in her words and can easily offend others.
Although Tu Ping is a brainless and reckless man, he has a strong sense of self-esteem. He hates Lin Zhi for always talking about his embarrassing volunteer experience in a roundabout way whenever there is a conflict.
Lin Zhi was so angry that she took a few people with special abilities, left Tu Ping and others behind, and rode away on her bike. However, they were attacked by strange beasts on the way. They hid in the car and dared not go out.
A few days later, Tu Ping, who was walking behind, discovered something unusual along the way and went to find out, and rescued everyone in Linzhi.
At this point, the two people who were in a cold war reconciled and the mission of the two teams was able to continue.
A month later, Ye Qing heard the system reminder after a long time.
[Ding Dong, you have successfully linked an affiliated town, and are rewarded with 20* card draws.]
[Ding Dong, you have successfully linked an affiliated town, and are rewarded with 20* card draws.]
The two consecutive system notifications made Ye Qing's ears jump. She immediately opened the system interface and was almost blinded by the news in front of her.
They actually bound two subordinate towns at once, which means that both Zuo Yi and Lin Zhi succeeded!
The two teams encountered some setbacks on the way, which wasted a lot of time. She originally thought it would take at least 2 months, but she didn't expect it to be done in just 1 month. It's really amazing.
Ye Qing looked at the requirements for upgrading to level 8: [2 million residents, 4 affiliated towns, 100 special buildings.]
Including the two newly bound affiliated towns, the population exceeds 2 million, and the second item is also met accordingly, the only thing missing is special buildings.
Special buildings only include weapon shops, libraries, small clinics, restaurants, etc. that are drawn through the system or purchased from the system mall. It also includes self-built buildings such as schools and government service centers. Landscapes such as [Monet Garden], [Swan Lake], and [Music Fountain] are also included in this range, but the largest number of residential buildings are not included.
By this calculation, there are a total of 90 special buildings, and there are still 10 buildings missing. However, it is very simple to make up the difference. There are still many buildings in the mall entertainment section that have not been released. Ye Qing wanted to save them and open them slowly before, and now they can come in handy.
She placed archery hall, go-karts, bumper cars, rock climbing, indoor skating, etc., all these sports in the same place to form a centralized area.
The moment Ye Qing adjusted the miniature building, several buildings suddenly appeared in a certain area of the shelter. The people around were all elderly people, and they excitedly came over to take a look.
"The city lord has added a few more buildings for us. Let's go see what they are!"
"Archery, go-karts, rock climbing... they sound so fun! I really want them to open soon!"
As Ye Qing spoke, the system upgrade reminder also sounded.
[Congratulations on successfully completing the mission and reaching the maximum level. You will be rewarded with 20 card draws.]
[Shelter level: Level 8 (maximum), 2.02 million residents (including affiliated towns), 50,000 tourists.]
[Crystal core balance: 50 million.]
Shelter area: 200 square kilometers.
[Residential buildings: 100 (limit: 200).]
[Shelter facilities: government service centers, schools, clinics, libraries, underground shopping malls, several residential buildings...]
[Scenery: Monet Garden, Musical Fountain, Cherry Blossom Trail, Swan Lake, Bamboo Garden, Plum Garden...]
[Public transportation system: 1 small train, 3 buses, 1 white RV, 2 green pickup trucks, 1 yellow electric scooter, 1 off-road vehicle, and 1 supercar.]
[This machine is at the maximum level, please receive your ultimate gift package~]
The shelter is currently 200 square kilometers and cannot be upgraded in the future, but this area is more than enough.
After the upgrade, the system gave away 100 residential buildings. Ye Qing planned to allocate 10 to each affiliated town and leave the rest for himself to recruit new leading talents.
After more than a month of operation, the bus system began to incubate again. This time, there were two more models, an off-road vehicle and a supercar. There were enough vehicles, and urban transportation was gradually established.
The most exciting thing is this ultimate gift pack. I couldn’t wait to upgrade just for it, and now that I finally got it, I feel unbelievable.
Her heart was pounding. She clasped her hands together, bowed solemnly, and then clicked to receive it.
The gift box burst open, and a clover with a smiling face appeared in front of us with ribbons fluttering.
Ye Qing felt strange and read the instructions carefully.
[Clover Umbrella: The clover has a lucky attribute that can protect the safety of all items under the umbrella.]
Is the safety of everything under the umbrella safe? Does radiation count as well?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing clicked to use it.
The system interface changed, and a miniature model of the entire shelter popped up on the panel, with the clover covering the miniature, like an open umbrella protecting the base below.
Ye Qing tried to scratch the transparent clover, and the clover immediately moved following her fingertips.
Although a clover can cover a considerable area, it is still not enough to completely enclose the shelter. The system will not make such a buggy setting.
Just as she was wondering, the system, which had not spoken for a long time, spoke.
[Host, don't you think it looks familiar? ]
Ye Qing didn't react and let out a cry.
[A seed machine! It comes from the same lineage as those mutant fruit trees, but their abilities are different. The mutant fruit trees are offensive, while the clover is defensive, and it has rare, top-level protection.]
Ye Qing: "So you can also catch clovers in the claw machine?"
[You finally got it this time, but the clover is of a higher level, and its chance of winning is only one percent of that of other fruit tree seeds.]
Ye Qing was so excited that he could hardly speak. No matter how low the probability was, as long as there was this option, he would catch it sooner or later.
Once the [Shamrock Umbrella] is confirmed, the green leaves will turn transparent and enter the use state.
Ye Qing exited the system panel and looked up. A new cover was superimposed on the original transparent cover in the sky.
The sunlight and air filtered through the original protective shield were already extremely comfortable, but Ye Qing, as the host bound to the shelter, was still sensitive to subtle changes. It turned out that this umbrella had the function of anti-radiation.
Previously, there were concerns that the buildings on the ground would be corroded by radiation after the 12-month protection period of the protective shield, but now with the protection of the clover, this concern has completely disappeared.
Next, she can focus on developing the shelter.
