My apocalyptic heroine has come true

The heroine Xia Xiaochi pressed her ear tightly against the metal wall.

The explosion died down and the mutant species let out a painful roar.

Some injured individuals seemed to have escaped, but the sound of footsteps rushing towards them still made Xia Xiaochi feel a little nervous.

She really wanted to take a look at the situation outside for Fang Ming.

"..."

Fang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and focused his sight on the area in the center of the explosion.

There, Fang Ming saw a faint blue light scattered on the ground, like broken crystals.

Those should be the energy crystals in the bodies of mutant species.

“…There are many.”

Fang Ming pulled the camera over and took a rough look.

The number of crystals estimated by visual inspection is about 50-80.

The small fragments shattered by the bomb do not affect the use, but they are more troublesome to collect.

With the help of the faint light of the energy crystal on the ground, Fang Ming saw a wolf-like and dog-like creature crawling on the ground among the pile of corpses.

Although its head was blown off, its body miraculously still had power.

Fang Ming was surprised at its vitality, and also at the outline of its body hidden in the darkness.

This wolf-like creature...

I'm afraid it will be taller than the Ark Shelter when it stands up.

"Thumbs up—"

Without hesitation, Fang Ming pressed the fire button of the machine gun.

It took a full fifty rounds of ammunition to completely kill the headless wolf.

After doing all this, Fang Ming did not choose to fire randomly in the dark and waste bullets.

Instead, the scene switched back to the shelter.

None of the mutant species in this world are easy to deal with...

Not only do they have thick skin, high defense, and high speed, but they are also assassins.

Their bodies are hidden in the darkness, making it difficult for ordinary people to catch them.

If Fang Ming didn't have biological bait and his amazing ability to observe the entire map, hunting these mutant species would not be an easy task.

Fang Ming suddenly realized...

I still know too little about the mutant species in this world.

Hunting would be much easier if we knew the types, habits, and weaknesses of these mutant species in advance.

Xia Xiaochi doesn't have much experience in this area.

If you want to get this information, you need to get it from the natives of this world.

……

The night passed quickly.

His brain had been working at high speed all day, and Fang Ming had a dreamless night. He opened and closed his eyes, and dawn came.

When he got up and washed up, he set goals for himself at this stage.

In reality: He would try to get his leg back on track and walk as soon as possible. Once he could walk normally, he would deal with the trivial matters at the company that Lawyer Zhang Wei had mentioned.

After all, it is the life's work of my parents, I can't just leave it alone.

In the game, Fang Ming chose to be sneaky while developing quickly.

Learn as much as possible about this world. And, while continuing to support the mistress, build your own shelter.

At this stage, Fang Ming had no idea what this game was all about, nor did he know why he was chosen as a 'player'.

He didn't know what the purpose behind the game was or what the other party wanted him to do.

However, before facing these unknowns, you should be adequately prepared.

"Brother Fang Ming,"

"We harvested a total of 57 grams of energy crystals last night!"

Eight in the morning.

The moment the shelter door opened, Xia Xiaochi went out with her small bag.

She ran as fast as she could to the place where she had buried the explosives yesterday, and then like a little girl picking mushrooms, she picked up the broken energy crystals one by one.

After picking up the energy crystals for about half an hour, Xia Xiaochi returned to the central controller with the bag of energy crystals and couldn't wait to offer them to Fang Ming.

This time, Fang Ming converted all the energy crystals into energy points without hesitation.

Gained 57 points in one night...including the 10 energy points that can be earned every day.

Fang Ming’s shelter now earns nearly 70 points every day!

This speed of collecting energy points made Fang Ming look forward to the future of his shelter.

First, go to the [Upgradeable] button next to the 'Basic Self-Defense Turret'.

Fang Ming hesitated for a moment and did not choose to click.

There is no 30mm ammunition in the shelter now, so we will have to make do with it for now until the 20mm caliber ammunition runs out.

Next.

Fang Ming hesitated between saving up 200 energy points to upgrade the shelter and using the existing points to purchase the [Drone Combat Swarm].

This drone combat group was refreshed in the empty slot after Fang Ming purchased the mechanical exoskeleton. It was sold for 59 energy points.

According to the principle of "you get what you pay for", this thing should be three times stronger than the basic turret.

Chapter 56 New Equipment

Compared to firepower and expanding the shelter, Fang Ming actually wants to upgrade his communicator more.

After all, the first-level communicator is for text input, and the second-level communicator is for voice input.

So... when it reaches level three, will it become screen input?

Xia Xiaochi has always had a dream.

She said she wanted to see Fang Ming.

If the next level of the communicator could transmit images, her dream would come true.

Maybe the health value will skyrocket.

But, unfortunately...

Even with a large amount of energy points, the upgrade button of the communicator in the shelter was gray.

Also, the upgrade button for the dispel light is gray.

Based on Fang Ming's many years of gaming experience.

The maximum level of equipment in a shelter cannot exceed the level of the shelter itself.

Fang Ming’s current Ark Shelter is only level 1.

Therefore, unless the shelter breaks through to LV2, the dispersal lights and communicators that have been upgraded once cannot be upgraded further.

【Purchase successful! 】

After some thought, Fang Ming decisively purchased a drone combat group.

The reason to buy this device is simple.

'Snowball'

The stronger the combat power, the more resources you can harvest each time.

And more resources will create stronger combat power.

This is a virtuous cycle.

【无人机作战群：由12架小型无人机组成的基础作战群。该阵容含有：侦察机*2，战斗机*8，补给机*2。无人机机身尺寸直径30厘米，最大飞行高度500米。】

[Reconnaissance aircraft: A small reconnaissance aircraft equipped with a multi-spectral scanner, with powerful functions of identifying radiation bands, night imaging, and thermal imaging.

Fighter: Can carry 4mm small-caliber bullets. You can't expect such a small drone to have powerful firepower, but with the assistance of a reconnaissance aircraft, it may be a good choice for assassinating enemies.

Supply aircraft: A nanny-type aircraft that hovers high in the sky, equipped with multiple small robotic arms, capable of repairing damaged drones within the fleet to a certain extent. It also houses a larger battery capacity, providing a long range and the ability to return energy to the fleet.

After reading these introductions, Fang Ming's eyes lit up.

The firepower of this drone combat group is ridiculously weak, but if it is regarded as a reconnaissance aid and to attract fire, it is definitely worth the money.

and……

Fang Ming decisively clicked the upgrade button.

['Drone Combat Swarm' Upgrade Successfully! ]

[UAV Combat Group: A basic combat group consisting of 18 small drones. The lineup includes: 3 reconnaissance aircraft, 12 fighters, 3 supply aircraft, and a maximum flight altitude of 1000 meters.]

[Reconnaissance aircraft: further reduced in size from the original size of 30 cm, current size: 20 cm.

Fighter: Size increased to 50 cm, load capacity increased, can carry 9 mm bullets

Supply machine: provides more robotic arms and longer battery life, and further improves repair and supply capabilities.

It only consumed 9 energy points.

Fang Ming's drone combat group has achieved a qualitative improvement.

After dragging the drone combat group out of the warehouse, Fang Ming's gaze fell on the interior of the shelter.

The "base station" of the drone combat group is relatively fragile and cannot be placed in the wild at will.

Fang Ming’s current shelter is just this 100-square-meter building.
