Chapter 7 - CHAP-5: UPGRADE

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

Enough space!

Soon after, Ash returned to her Base. She first installed the generator in the innermost storage room of the air-raid shelter.

[Beep-Detected a 1000-kilowatt generator.]

[Reward-Permanently Indestructible,

Lowest Energy Consumption Generator!]

Ashira: "!!!"

She looked at the generator in surprise; its surface seemed to be plated with a layer of silver light, and its strength and quality were instantly different from before!

And most importantly, it was permanently indestructible!Generators require maintenance later on, and Ash could only try her best to make it last longer. Unexpectedly, the system directly upgraded it to be permanently indestructible!

Amazing!

Ash then installed the cameras on her barbed wire fence from yesterday.

The location of her tunnel air-raid shelter was excellent. Outside was a large circle of trees, the main road was one kilometer away, and the branch road disappeared into the mountain forest after extending 500 meters towards here.

People outside could barely detect that there was a tunnel area covered by barbed wire here. Not conspicuous at all.

The internal cameras monitored her area without blind spots. After Ashira installed the cameras and connected them to the circuit, which was powered by the generator, they could monitor all creatures that accidentally intruded!

Immediately, all the cameras and the electrified barbed wire began to operate. Her computer displayed dense monitoring screens for all grids.

At the same time...

[Beep-Detected surveillance system and power grid system.]

[Reward: Surveillance System Upgrade!

Electronic eye monitoring range increased tenfold! Automatically detects all living and non-living bodies!]

[Power Grid System Upgrade! Maximum grid attack 10,000 volts!]

Ashira: "!!!"

She looked at the clearer surveillance footage appearing on her computer screen. Pulling up any feed, the pixel quality was more than 10x higher than before! She zoomed in on the image.

Ash had bought the best surveillance with a 100-meter range, but now she could zoom out to a maximum of one thousand meters! She could see the distant road through the gaps in the trees!

Just then, a bird wanted to land on Ashira's barbed wire fence. It circled for a while and found a landing spot.

Instantly, there was a 'BEEP'.

A spark flashed. The bird fell straight down. Seeing this, Ashira's eyes showed an even more satisfied look.

This defense boost is good. She would like to see who dares to intrude upon her Base in the future. Touch it and you'll die!

"Storm, don't go near those barbed wire fences from now on, understand?"

"Woof!"

After upgrading, Storm physique grew, and her intelligence also increased, making her more understanding than before.

Ash rubbed her head, took out food from her home refrigerator from her space, and ate a meal with Storm.

After eating, she continued to organize her Base. She found that organizing the air-raid shelter also gave rewards. For example, clearing the water well and weeds inside the air-raid shelter.

[Beep-Detected water well upgrade.]

[Reward-Independent Mountain System Clean Water Source!]

[Beep-Detected reduced weed area.]

[Reward-High-Quality Soil! Crop yield increased a hundredfold! Crop growth speed increased tenfold!]

Seeing this, Ashira was full of motivation. Clean water source, high-quality soil. Her Base was getting better and stronger.

This guarantee of the most basic resources would allow her to plant some fresh fruits and vegetables later on. She could produce her own food in the future and be self-sufficient!

She would go buy some various seeds later.

12 days passed.

At this time, there were less than 7 days until the apocalypse.

For these passed days, Ashira ran 10,000 meters around the air-raid shelter every day after opening her eyes. While significantly improving her physical fitness, she also familiarized herself with the terrain.

She was now very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Her tunnel air-raid shelter was inside a mountain. Centered around the air-raid shelter, barbed wire protective belts were built in a circular shape from the mid-slope on both sides of the mountain.

Where the barbed wire connected to the mountain was a steep cliff. It was very difficult to bypass the barbed wire to get here, and circling around from the opposite side of the mountain, that difficulty was even higher than from here!

The terrain on the back was much steeper than the front, with bushes and trees all the way. Even professional climbers would find it hard to get over. The only potential hazard was fire.

Forest fire prevention has always been a major issue and is extremely difficult to prevent, unless Ashira herself cuts down a large layer of trees in advance to create a firebreak.

But if she cut down the trees, her location would be very easily exposed to people.

After careful consideration, she lowered her head and began to clear the dead branches and fallen leaves around the area.

The trees definitely couldn't be cut down. Once cut, it would be easy for people to discover the place. In the apocalypse, humans are the most dangerous. Preventing humans from coming is far more reliable than preventing disasters they might bring.

Furthermore, forest fires are actually not easy to start when the forest is damp. Clearing the fallen leaves and dead branches on the ground can effectively prevent forest fires.

Ash cleared a clean area centered around her Base's protective belt.

Just then, a voice came from her mind.

[Beep-Detected reduced fire hazard.]

[Reward-Never any combustion within the cleared zone!]

Ashira: "!!!"

The golden finger is powerful at a critical moment!

The safety of her air-raid shelter would be further enhanced!With the biggest hidden danger in her heart eliminated, Ashira immediately focused her energy on other matters.

Every inch she cleared would earn her an inch of reward, and every bit she reinforced would improve her Base's defense. Her Base was rapidly strengthening.

Her deliveries had also arrived one after another in the past few days. After Ash finished working in the air-raid shelter during the day, she would go to the warehouse to pick up things at night.

She had the delivery drivers put the items into her warehouse. She also installed an extra-large surveillance camera at the main entrance of her warehouse, and Storm was inside helping her watch.

It was currently a time of peace and prosperity. Even without supervision, people wouldn't actively do evil, let alone with a super fierce dog inside.

The delivery drivers would unload the goods truck by truck each time and leave after unloading. Ashira would go pick them up at night, use her space to take the items, and bring them back to her Base.

[Beep-Detected warehouse is full.]

The one hundred tons of rice, 1,000 boxes of instant noodles, 200 boxes of ham sausages, 100 boxes of pickled vegetables, and over 20,000 bags of meal packs that She bought had all arrived and were neatly stacked in the innermost large warehouse of her air-raid shelter.

[Reward-Super Warehouse! Food storage permanently locks freshness!]

The door of the large warehouse in front of Ashira was instantly transformed into the kind of bank vault door she had seen on TV. Even with professional demolition tools, the thick metal door couldn't be opened. Only Ashira's own iris recognition could open it!

After opening the warehouse door, the stored items inside were already categorized and stored. The most important thing was its function!

Permanently locks freshness! No Expiration!!
