Chapter 2 - Chapter 02

Same day, Evening.

A fine drops of rain was falling from the sky. Ji Yan arrived in the eastern district of the city by taxi.

With only half a month left until the apocalypse, he had to seize every second and couldn't waste a single moment. The shelter was his survival base, so naturally, he had to secure it immediately.

He stood on the road near the overpass in Dongjiang Park.

A glance around revealed dense streets and buildings. Only next to the park was a large undeveloped wasteland.

Moreover, this wasteland was shrouded in mist, appearing quite inconspicuous.

"Is this the shelter?" Ji Yan frowned.

"Yes, Master!" Adam's voice came through the earpiece: "This wasteland ahead originally belonged to a real estate company. The system has already purchased it and made arrangements. Satellite signals have also been blocked, so it won't attract anyone's attention before the apocalypse breaks out."

"Oh? How thoughtful?"

Ji Yan immediately smiled upon hearing that! This system was quite reliable after all. This way, he had ample time to prepare calmly.

At least he wouldn't alarm the relevant authorities because of this shelter.

Ji Yan walked forward along the road, and after passing through layers of mist, he saw an area enclosed by blue colored iron.

This was a structure covering several hundred acres.

The outer perimeter was a concrete wall seven to eight meters high, covered with electric fences, firing positions, and anti-aircraft gun positions, but unfortunately, they were all abandoned now.

The wall was riddled with various pits and bloodstains, as if it had endured countless attacks.

Inside was a large open space, with numerous parking spaces and helicopter pads painted on the front, and several dilapidated vehicle wrecks were still parked there.

To the left, right, and rear were three runways! There were also several fighter jet wrecks scattered across the runways.

In the very center was an arched building, where one could see a glass dome, as well as a signal tower, mechanical landing gates, and other features.

Ji Yan knew clearly that this was the part of the shelter exposed on the surface. Though it didn't seem very conspicuous, underground it actually concealed a massive structure with outer walls three meters thick, extending 185 meters deep.

"This thing really materialized from a game?"

Ji Yan muttered strangely as he examined the vehicle wrecks everywhere. Everything here felt incredibly familiar to him; it was clearly a Deprecated shelter from a game.

Ji Yan strolled inside, and after wandering for a while, he arrived in front of the lift gate. An electronic screen on the right side of the main gate quietly lit up.

Adam's face appeared on the screen and said, "Shelter A1, welcome back, Master."

"Rumble!"

The gate, which had been sealed for an unknown period, slowly rose. Immediately after, all the lights in the entire shelter flickered on simultaneously.

The dim, silent space, from top to bottom, one layer of lights after another, continuously lit up, as if it had been reanimated. At a glance, Ji Yan saw a massive structure made of steel.

The top of the shelter was a huge canopy made of three-meter-thick high-strength bulletproof glass, which could provide sufficient natural light for the dim underground.

In the middle of the shelter was an atrium that extended all the way to the bottom, surrounded by numerous transport elevators, allowing people to easily reach areas more than a hundred meters underground.

The rooms, corridors, and floors here were all constructed from steel. Not only was the thickness exaggerated, but it was also sturdy, durable, earthquake-resistant, and explosion-proof!

Overall, it resembled a futuristic steel prison.

"Adam, tell me about this place." Ji Yan instructed as he strolled along the corridor in this futuristic and amazing building.

Inside the fully enclosed shelter, the air was surprisingly fresh. This indicated that the air filtration technology was definitely very powerful.

"Yes, Master!"

Adam's mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire shelter. Every corridor and room was covered with numerous electronic screens and cameras.

No matter where Ji Yan went, he could see its introduction.

"Most of the equipment and machinery in Shelter A1 are currently damaged and urgently need repair, so there are not many combat and production directives that can be executed."

"The first floor is the repair workshop and mechanical assembly area, where vehicles can be repaired and aircraft and tanks can be assembled during wartime."

"Floors 2 to 4 are military training grounds, including a military medical facility. Floors 5 and 6 are ammunition storage depots, currently with zero stock."

"Floors 7 and 8 are the armory; production lines are currently fully shut down, production equipment damage rate is as high as 78%, and there is a lack of production materials."

"The 9th floor is the hospital, with a basic equipment damage rate of 56% and precision instrument damage rate of 41%, while the 10th floor is the school, currently well preserved."

"Floors 11 to 30 are the ordinary resident living areas, with 960 various dormitories on each floor, accommodating 3 to 12 people per room, with complete factory areas, entertainment facilities, dining halls, and planting and breeding areas, capable of supporting 5,000 people for normal survival."

Adam spoke eloquently, constantly pulling up various images and data. Ji Yan could easily grasp every detail of this massive shelter.

"Floors 31 to 35 are material storage warehouses, equipped with large storage and cold storage spaces; currently, the equipment is intact and undamaged."

"The 36th floor is the android base and super Brain computer center; currently, the equipment damage rate is 38%, ensuring normal operation."

"Floors 37 to 39 are the advanced technology research institutes, with 21 large and small scientific research laboratories, and various instrument damage rates of 71%."

"The 40th floor is the residence for high-level talents and the core command center. The 41st floor is the air purification center, containing three sets of air filtration equipment and internal circulation oxygen supply equipment."

"The 42nd floor is the freshwater filtration and reprocessing center, and the 43rd floor is the waste treatment center, each containing 3 sets of processing and recycling equipment, with a current damage rate of 17%."

"Finally, the 44th and 45th floors are the energy and power center, containing three small nuclear fission generator sets and three crystal core generator sets."

Adam's series of introductions flowed like a cascade of data.

Various clear data and image descriptions were continuously presented.

Ji Yan was utterly dazzled; if he hadn't played this game before, he would have been completely bewildered.

"Phew.. Fortunately, there's an AI assistant," Ji Yan muttered to himself. "Otherwise, trying to figure out the situation here on my own would waste at least several months."
