“Wow! This is the city of my dreams! Flowers, fountains, white doves, just thinking about it is heartwarming! I could never have imagined we’d have such a day!” Listening to David’s description, everyone started daydreaming with hopeful expressions. These were dreams they hadn’t dared to entertain since the apocalypse began.
But now, in David’s blueprint, everything seemed so close to them. Even Little Black wagged its tail happily around David.
Seeing the longing expressions of everyone, David smiled faintly. The appearance of the System Reconstruction function allowed him to use the resources in the warehouse to transform the city drastically. All of this was his way of resisting the apocalypse and fulfilling his responsibilities to the team members. 𝓫𝒹ℴ𝓿𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
As a captain, David had to shoulder all responsibilities and ensure that every individual had a safe and beautiful life in the apocalypse. The construction of the city was just the first step for him.
“By the way, during my absence, I will leave behind some crystals. You can use these crystals to recruit some residents.” David said as he led everyone to the storage room on the second floor.
The appearance of the pronucleus had rendered crystals useless to David. Although the team members’ levels were now increasing without relying on crystals, David still kept them. After all, in the later stages of city construction, they would need to attract some survivors to reside there, and these crystals would serve as rewards for their arrival.
As the saying goes, everyone is motivated by self-interest. As long as those survivors accepted the crystals, they would become his most loyal subjects.
David didn’t want to turn this city into his own kingdom. But if he could provide a haven for survivors in the apocalypse, he wouldn’t mind being crowned king. Walking to the second floor, David pushed open the door to the storage room.
“Splash!” As the door was pushed open, a large number of crystals poured out like a waterfall. “Oh my! These crystals… ” Looking at the sparkling crystals covering the floor, Fatso involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He knew David was wealthy, but wasn’t it a bit excessive to treat crystals like trash?
Not only Fatso, but the other team members were also surprised by David’s bold behavior. David glanced at the crystals but didn’t seem to care much. Indeed, in his warehouse, he still had a million crystals of various levels. The ones piled up in the storage room were just one-tenth of what he possessed.
The storage room not only contained numerous crystals but also various life supplies. Coupled with the nearby greenhouse, it was enough to ensure their daily life. Approaching another room, David opened the door to find it full of different kinds of weapons. Desert Eagles, heavy machine guns, AK47s, UMP45s, high-explosive grenades, and even a dozen rocket launchers.
These were weapons that David had modified, some of which even had his own spatial tearing ability integrated through the system, making them as powerful as a low-level esper. Even the highest-ranking zombies wouldn’t withstand a single shot from these weapons.
Seeing the room filled with weapons, Fatso became ecstatic. Without hesitation, he rushed in and picked up a heavy machine gun, looking excited. He then walked up to Shirley while carrying the machine gun and patted his chest, saying, “With me around, no one will dare to bully you!”
Fatso proudly raised his eyebrows toward everyone. Shirley lifted her face to look at him, then shook her head with a meaningful smile: “Cola is more interesting.”
This immediately made Fatso droop his head and glare at Cola next to him, causing everyone to chuckle at Fatso’s defeat.
Next, David led everyone to the third floor. This was the combat training room, a large flat area of five hundred square meters, built by David using three thousand junior crystals and six thousand pieces of wood. Here, everyone could train their abilities to enhance their combat skills. Even in the center, David had used ten advanced crystals to create a robot that could move around and even counterattack. This way, everyone’s training wasn’t aimless anymore; they could find their weaknesses by sparring with the robot.
On the fourth floor, there was a large swimming pool. The fifth floor housed a cinema, KTV, and a chess room. The sixth floor had a gym. Finally, David led everyone to the tenth floor, the top floor of the building. Unlike the other floors, there were no facilities here; it was empty.
Duke scratched his head in confusion and asked, “David, why is there nothing here?”
David smiled, reached out his hand into thin air, and with a slight gesture, created ripples in space. The true appearance of the tenth floor emerged before everyone’s eyes. There was no ceiling; they could see the sky above. In the center, three fighter jets were neatly arranged! Each jet was pitch black, with huge propellers and side-mounted machine guns, showcasing their formidable nature.
“Wow! These metal beasts are here!” Fatso’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly dropped his heavy machine gun and rushed towards the fighter jets. However, as he got close, it was as if something was blocking his path. He reached out his hand but couldn’t touch the jets.
What’s going on? Everyone was puzzled and tried to approach. Yet, they couldn’t get near the fighter jets.
David walked over, smiling, and said, “I’ve sealed these three fighter jets using a spatial gate. Just think ‘open’ in your minds, and you can pass through the gate.”
The reason David placed these fighter jets here was mostly a whim, and considering the future need for patrols once the city was established, these metal beasts were the best choice. They could even use them to escape quickly in case of danger.
The spatial gate was set up to prevent malicious espers from infiltrating and causing havoc using the fighter jets. Listening to David’s explanation, everyone mentally chanted “open”!
Indeed, as soon as they did, the spatial gate disappeared before their eyes. Fatso was the first to climb into the pilot’s seat of a fighter jet. He excitedly touched every button, eager to take off and perform aerial acrobatics. Others also couldn’t believe their eyes, looking at the three fighter jets as if in a dream. This wasn’t just a base; it was an arsenal!
After the tour, they returned to the bedrooms on the first floor with excitement. Everyone prepared to rest. Meanwhile, David gazed at the moon outside, filled with anticipation. “Wasteland World… here I come,” he said softly, playing with the circular jade pendant he had taken from Danny.
