The renovation of the fortress used a large amount of black jade crystals, nearly five tons, and the consumption of underground ore was even more staggering, nearly 20,000 tons.
Lin Ruo secretly clicked her tongue in amazement, thinking how lucky she was to have collected a lot of underground ore at the time, otherwise it really wouldn't have been enough for her.
Looking at the fortress that had already taken shape in the air, Lin Ruo took out the daily necessities from the previous fortress and put them into the current fortress. Then she began to modify the door curtains and window curtains.
The curtains at my door were originally designed to be 6 meters high, but now the door is over 10 meters long, and I can't even hang them up.
The window dimensions have also been changed, and Lin Ruoquan has to redo everything.
The space was filled with animal fur. She used the wolf pelts she had gathered to make a curtain for the door. When the extreme heat came, she would have to replace it with a mesh door.
Using his mental power, he tanned all the remaining animal hides in the space, then selected a few of the best hides to sew together.
The curtain was quickly sewn on, and the previous curtain could be completely removed to make a spare curtain, although it might not be needed anytime soon.
Then Lin Ruo found several curtains collected by the shopping mall in the still space, made some modifications according to the size of the fortress window, and it was done.
She used her mental power to hang up all the curtains and window screens, then dug up a lot of soil from the black earth and placed it in the pit reserved for A-Liu on the platform. This time, Lin Ruo left a circular pit with a diameter of six meters, enough for A-Liu's roots to spread out.
After finishing all that, Lin Ruo dug A Liu out of the previous pit and planted her in the new pit of the fortress.
Ah Liu's willow branches flew up happily. In the previous pit, its roots couldn't stretch out at all, but this one was just right. Its huge root system below was constantly absorbing energy from the black soil below.
At the same time, it also stretched out a few willow branches to explore and probe the new fortress.
Lin Ruo withdrew his mental energy from the space, returning the protective shield and the micro-suspension to the space. A full moon hung in the sky, dispelling some of the darkness, and the moonlight allowed him to see the surroundings clearly.
A bright blue light shone in her eyes, condensing into several huge ice shovels in the air, which continued to widen and deepen the pit where the fortress had been placed.
Half an hour later, a five-meter-wide pit appeared in front of Lin Ruo. Because of the need to place the I-beams, the length and width of the pit had been increased considerably compared to before.
The pit was dug, and she took the fortress out of the space and dropped it into the giant pit with a loud bang. Lin Ruo then directed the ice shovel to start filling the pit with soil, and the I-beams were firmly buried deep underground.
Now the fortress is secure!
After everything was over, Lin Ruo released Afu and Ashou from the space. Looking at the brand-new fortress in front of them, Afu and Ashou happily rushed into the fortress.
The layout inside the fortress remained unchanged, only the overall height was increased, so Afu and Ashou didn't feel much of a sense of unfamiliarity.
Lin Ruo entered the fortress, took out dry firewood from his spatial storage, and lit all the fireplaces in the fortress, causing the temperature to rise rapidly.
"Tomorrow during the day, I'll test the strength of our fortress for you, then you won't have to worry about the tsunami outside anymore," Lin Ruo said with a smile, looking at Afu and Ashou inside the fortress.
At this time, the base in City B also received news of the impending earthquake through expert observation.
After six months of development, the entire base is very different from before. Many houses have been planned, and many buildings on the base are now vacant due to the decrease in population.
The people here are well-managed, and many have their own jobs. Although they are not like they were before the apocalypse, they are not as emaciated and dressed in rags as the survivors outside.
The base in City B still ensured their most basic living needs.
Over the course of six months, several superhumans joined the base in City B. The base also implemented a systematic management system for the superhumans. Each superhuman earned points based on their contributions to the base, which could be used to exchange for crystal cores and supplies.
Compared to ordinary survivors, these superhumans naturally received far more points, enough to fully meet their living needs. Their days were fulfilling and safe, and they didn't experience the backstabbing and infighting that existed at the Qiyuan Base. None of them planned to leave the base again.
In contrast, those survivors who thought they were clever and left the base are living a very unsatisfactory life. Their days are full of uncertainty. If they can't find supplies, they can only go hungry, and they can't always guarantee their safety.
Every day, many people die from hunger, cold, and mutated beasts.
On a street in the inner city of B, Ye Lin, holding a report, quickly walked towards Zheng Qiming's villa.
"Report!" Ye Lin shouted from outside Zheng Qiming's door.
In just six months, Zheng Qiming had many more gray hairs. He took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and then called out, "Come in."
When Ye Lin entered the office, he saw Zheng Qiming looking exhausted and couldn't help but advise him, "Chief, you should get more rest. Didn't the doctor say you should worry less?"
“The weather is going to get hot soon, and there are still many measures to be taken at the base. How can I just sit around doing nothing?” Zheng Qiming waved his hand, picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and said, “What brings you here?”
Ye Lin is usually busier than him, so why did she have time to come and check on his health today? Something important must have happened.
Ye Lin looked at Zheng Qiming with a solemn expression, and finally sighed in his heart, saying, "According to the predictions of geological experts, a massive global earthquake is about to occur, and it is expected to last for 2-3 days."
Their base is located halfway up a mountain. If such a large earthquake occurs, they will not be able to avoid falling rocks or ground collapse.
"Moreover, the coastal area of City B is very likely to be affected by a global earthquake, which could trigger an unprecedented massive tsunami that would definitely affect the entire urban area of City B."
"What!"
Zheng Qiming stood up abruptly, walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back. There was an earthquake on the mountain, a tsunami at the foot of the mountain, and mutated animals attacking outside the base. This meant that they had nowhere to hide!
