Chapter 5: Strengthening Bases and System Rewards

After unloading the supplies from the warehouse, Li Chenxi put the large generator into her space.

The space was ample!

Before long, Li Chenxi returned to her base.

She first installed the generator in the innermost storage room of the air defense bunker.

“Ding—Detected a 1,000-kilowatt generator.”

“Reward—Permanent and indestructible low-consumption generator!”

Li Chenxi: “!!!”

She was thrilled to see that the appearance of the generator seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, and its strength and quality had drastically improved!

Moreover, and most importantly, it was now permanent and indestructible!

Generators typically require maintenance later on, and Li Chenxi could only try to make them last as long as possible. She didn't expect the system to upgrade it to be permanently indestructible!

This is fantastic!

Back to work!

Li Chenxi then proceeded to install the cameras on the barbed wire she had set up the day before.

Her tunnel air defense bunker was in an excellent location, surrounded by a ring of large trees. The main road was a kilometer away, and the branch roads merged into the forest about five hundred meters from here.

It was almost impossible for outsiders to notice the hidden tunnel covered with barbed wire.

It was very inconspicuous.

The internal cameras monitored her entire area without any blind spots. After installing the cameras, Li Chenxi connected them to the circuits, which were powered by the generator, allowing her to monitor all creatures that might intrude!

Immediately, all the cameras and the electrified barbed wire started functioning.

Her computer screen displayed a dense array of monitoring feeds.

Meanwhile.

“Ding—Monitoring system and power grid system detected.”

“Reward: Monitoring system upgrade! Surveillance range of electronic eyes increased tenfold! Automatic detection of all living and non-living entities!”

“Power grid system upgrade! Maximum power grid attack up to 10,000 volts!”

Li Chenxi: “!!!”

She looked at the clearer surveillance footage appearing on her computer screen. Any feed she selected now had over ten times the pixel resolution compared to before! Zooming in on the footage,

Li Chenxi had purchased the best 100-meter monitoring range. Now she could extend it up to 1,000 meters!

She could clearly see the road in the distance through the gaps in the trees!

At this moment, a bird tried to land on Li Chenxi’s barbed wire.

It circled for a while, finding a landing spot.

In an instant, there was a ‘beep’.

A flash of sparks.

The bird fell straight down.

Li Chenxi’s eyes lit up with even more satisfaction.

The defense had improved significantly.

Very good!

She was eager to see who would dare to intrude into her base in the future.

Touch and die!

“Summer, stay away from those barbed wires from now on, understand?”

“Woof!”

After the upgrade, Summer’s physique and intelligence had both improved, becoming more sensible than before.

Li Chenxi patted his head and took some food from the refrigerator in her space. They had a meal together.

After eating, she continued to tidy up her base.

She discovered that cleaning the air defense bunker also came with rewards.

For example, clearing out the well and weeds in the bunker.

“Ding—Well upgraded.”

“Reward—Independent mountain clean water source!”

“Ding—Weed area reduced.”

“Reward—High-quality soil! Crop yield increased a hundredfold! Crop growth speed increased tenfold!”

Li Chenxi was full of motivation upon seeing this.

Clean water source, high-quality soil.

Her base was becoming better and stronger.

This basic resource would ensure that she could plant fresh fruits and vegetables later on, allowing her to produce and be self-sufficient!

She planned to buy various seeds soon!

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this point, there were less than three days until the apocalypse.

For the past seven days, Li Chenxi had been running around the air defense bunker for ten thousand meters every day, significantly improving her physical fitness while familiarizing herself with the terrain.

She had now become well-acquainted with the surrounding topography. Her tunnel air defense bunker was located inside a mountain. The bunker was at the center, with barbed wire fencing built around it from a half-way up the mountain on both sides.

Where the barbed wire connected to the mountain was a steep cliff. It was very difficult to bypass the barbed wire, and coming from the opposite side of the mountain was even more challenging!

The back side of the mountain was much steeper than the front, covered with shrubs and trees.

Even professional climbers would find it difficult to get in.

The only potential hazard was a fire.

Forest fire prevention was always a major issue and extremely difficult to prevent unless Li Chenxi herself cleared a large area of trees to create a firebreak.

However, clearing the trees would expose her location to people.

After careful consideration, she decided to clear the surrounding area of dead branches and leaves.

Trees could not be cut down, as it would make it easy for people to find her. In an apocalypse, people were the most dangerous threat, and avoiding human intrusion was more reliable than trying to prevent potential disasters caused by humans.

One must not put the cart before the horse.

Moreover, forest fires are actually difficult to start; forests are damp, and clearing the dead leaves and branches on the ground could effectively prevent forest fires.

Li Chenxi cleared a clean area around her base’s protective belt.

At that moment, a notification sounded in her mind.

“Ding—Fire hazard reduced.”

“Reward—Fireproof within the cleared zone!”

Li Chenxi: “!!!”

Just when it was crucial, the system was incredibly helpful!

The safety of her air defense bunker would be further enhanced!

With the biggest hazard removed from her mind, Li Chenxi immediately shifted her focus to other tasks.

She received a reward for every inch of area she cleaned and every reinforcement she made, strengthening her base’s defenses.

Her base was rapidly being fortified.

In these days, her deliveries also arrived in succession.

During the day, Li Chenxi worked on the air defense bunker, and at night, she went to the warehouse to pick up items.

She had the delivery personnel place the goods in her warehouse. She had also installed a large surveillance camera at the warehouse entrance, and Summer was inside to keep watch.

In peaceful times, even without surveillance, people generally wouldn’t cause trouble, let alone with a super fierce dog inside.

The delivery personnel would unload the goods by truck and leave.

Li Chenxi would go in the evening to collect the items, using her space to transport them back to her base.

“Ding—Warehouse fully stocked.”

The one hundred tons of rice, one thousand boxes of instant noodles, two hundred boxes of sausages, one hundred boxes of pickled vegetables, and over twenty thousand cooking packages she bought were all neatly stored in the innermost large warehouse of her air defense bunker.

“Reward—Super Warehouse! Food storage is permanently fresh!”

The door to the large warehouse in front of Li Chenxi instantly transformed into a bank vault door she had seen on TV.

The sturdy metal door was impenetrable even with professional explosive tools; only Li Chenxi’s iris recognition could open it!

Once the warehouse door was opened, the items inside were neatly categorized and stored, and most importantly, it had a special feature!

Permanently fresh!

No fear of expiration!
