"It must be because the rest time was too short, and the maximum absorption capacity for today has not been reached."
Level 2 can absorb approximately four times the amount of nutrients compared to Level 1!
If all the zero-level crystals are absorbed, it should only take 4 days to break through to level 3!
In his previous life, Chen Run reached level three, which was around the 40th day after the apocalypse. In the area where he operated, he was already the strongest.
Huang Zhao could achieve this on the fifth day as long as he had enough crystals, which shows the importance of talent and resources.
In the apocalypse, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step!
The strong can collect resources and level up faster, entering a virtuous cycle, while the weak can only wait to be slaughtered!
Chen Run, who was standing to the side, stopped absorbing after absorbing two energy crystals.
The spatial ability has been enhanced to a certain extent, allowing for the creation of approximately one more spatial energy ball.
In addition, after being absorbed by the crystal twice, Chen Run's spatial ability's collection range has reached about three meters, and he is currently standing aside waiting.
After absorbing the crystal, Huang Zhao rummaged through Chen Run's memories in his mind to confirm the current construction progress and prepared to head to the shelter:
It took five days to find a designer to design the shelter structure, cultivate relationships to secure land, contact construction companies, and customize shelter materials.
On the sixth day, construction workers and equipment were ready and construction began.
The shelter construction is scheduled to take 20 days, with 2,000 people working in three shifts.
On the 5th day, a 30-meter-deep pit was dug, enough to lay a 5,000-square-meter building. On the 10th day, the 5-story basement and the external frame were completed.
The underground structure was completed on the 15th.
External environmental restoration work has begun, while the basement interior is being divided into zones according to the design drawings, and internal electrical circuits, drainage system pipes, and wall decoration are being carried out.
Construction has also begun on a 3-story, 12-meter-high building.
The construction of the shelter's above-ground buildings was completed on the 20th day.
At the same time, the installation of a smart safety control system for the entire shelter area began, with the control center located on the fourth basement level.
The outer city wall is nearly 2,500 meters long, and four construction teams with 3,000 people working in three shifts are working in four directions.
Each shift in each direction has at least 250 people, which means that each person can build a section of the wall that is about 10 meters high and less than 3 meters long within 20 days.
Chen Run promised a bonus of 100 million yuan if the shelters and city walls were completed before July 14.
For every extra day the project is completed ahead of schedule, an additional 10 million will be awarded!
Under the onslaught of financial power, all the construction teams put in their best efforts to speed up the process, and even increased their manpower on their own initiative without Chen Run's prompting.
Construction is in full swing throughout the Fulin Country Park, a scene of bustling activity.
The shelter and city wall were finally handed over on the morning of July 12, two days before the end of the world. Chen Run also went to inspect the shelter that day.
After gaining the highest level of access to the shelter's intelligent system, I expelled everyone from the building and spent a day alone.
Satisfied, they then sealed off all entrances and exits of the shelter and returned to the Jingyuan Villa District.
The most expensive material used in the entire shelter area was composite titanium alloy panels, totaling approximately 450,000 square meters both above and below ground.
There is also an additional 200,000 square meters prepared for storage and replacement, costing nearly 150 billion yuan in cash.
A 20% deposit will be paid in advance, and the remaining balance will be settled one month later based on the quantity delivered.
The construction costs for the city walls, the outer walls of the refuge, other areas, interior decoration, internal facilities, and construction team wages amounted to approximately 20 billion.
All of these payments are made with a 20% deposit upfront, followed by monthly installments for subsequent fees.
After one month, it's like you don't have to give it anymore!
"As expected of you, Chen Run, you really are the sixth one!"
At this point, other areas had also completed 80% of the progress.
Even as the apocalypse unfolded, construction continued at a breakneck pace, though it was uncertain how many people would survive.
While inwardly sighing at the ruthlessness of capitalists, Huang Zhao, who was about to own this shelter base, could only think:
It smells so good!
Although Chen Run's memories revealed many scenes of the ugliness of humanity in the post-apocalyptic world, it was ultimately just like watching a blockbuster movie.
Huang Zhao had absolutely no way of putting herself in that kind of dark side of humanity.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Zhao's mindset was still hard to adjust because he hadn't truly experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse.
But he knew he absolutely could not be soft-hearted, and he told himself he could be an observer in the post-apocalyptic world.
I neither love nor hurt!
......
He manipulated Chen Run to take out a backpack and stuff it with some packaged bread and bottled water, which was intended to mislead the other survivors.
It might not be used, but it can handle situations where it's inconvenient to retrieve supplies directly from the supernatural space.
Then he took out a set of armor from his spatial storage that was larger than the one Chen Run was currently wearing, and was also matte black in color.
Huang Zhao is 1.82 meters tall and was still in good shape after graduating from university. He was a size larger than Chen Run, who was 1.78 meters tall and slender. The clothes fit Huang Zhao perfectly.
The joints of the armor are connected with tough leather, and there is an insulating cushioning layer inside the armor so that it is not too uncomfortable to wear.
Although wearing armor makes one more cumbersome and affects speed and movement.
However, in the early stages of the apocalypse, most of the zombies were level zero, which was unable to penetrate the armor and damage the inside.
Wearing the armor, Huang Zhao felt a strong sense of security!
"This armor suits me perfectly."
Once again, I have to say, Chen Run, you're a really nice person!
After the ability level is raised to level two, the physical attributes are enhanced by the ability.
After putting on the armor, Huang Zhao tried to move around a bit and found that carrying the 50-pound armor didn't feel heavy at all.
After making all the necessary preparations, Huang Zhao manipulated Chen Run to leave the lounge together.
We're about to set off!
They manipulated Chen Run to dig out the energy crystals behind the zombies and the Dharma King's head in the office hall.
The level zero crystal of a zombie is 1 millimeter in size and milky white, while the crystal behind the king's head is 2 millimeters in size and purple.
A first-level lightning energy crystal.
To prevent the Dharma King's body from being eaten by other zombies, Huang Zhao plans to bury it in the shelter park.
Huang Zhao, having guided Chen Run to the truck cab embedded in the office hall, sat directly in the back seat of the driver's cab.
Then, his mind shifted to Chen Run's mind, controlling Chen Run to get into the driver's seat and operate the heavy truck.
Although the mental transfer would halve the area of mental perception, Huang Zhao felt that it would be safer that way.
If attacked, the first person to be attacked will be the one in the driver's seat, giving the driver time to react.
In the July heat, wearing alloy armor, Huang Zhao could already feel his body starting to heat up and sweat after only a short while.
It's better to start the engine immediately and turn on the car's air conditioning.
