Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Level 1 Ecological Refuge Base

Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Level 1 Ecological Refuge Base

[The other party’s current spiritual power is 75%, physical strength 70%, vital signs stable.]

Hearing the System’s prompt, Ji Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, “Your sister is not in life-threatening condition for now, but to completely heal her, my superpower alone is not enough.”

The man sniffed, holding back the gleam in his eyes, and quickly asked, “What else is needed?”

Ji Wanwan gave a slight smile, but she didn’t answer.

The man, impatient, furrowed his brows but soon understood.

Immediately, he took out the Water Crystal Core he had taken away, “Take this! As long as you save my sister, I will give you my life too!”

Ji Wanwan’s mouth twitched.

“Keep your life for yourself,” she said as she took the Crystal Core, “The Fire Energy in your sister’s body needs Water Energy to neutralize it. My refuge happens to have an Awakener with the Water Elemental Superpower, who might be able to help you.

This Water Crystal Core is useless to you, but in his hands, it can have a greater effect, and perhaps when it comes to saving your sister, this Crystal Core might come in handy.”

Thinking of the man who, during the battle with the giant corpse, used a wide range of Ice Seal and Ice Blade, the Wood Element Superpower User hurriedly nodded, “I’ll listen to you!”

The man’s complete change of attitude made Ji Wanwan feel a mix of laughter and tears.

She patted the man’s shoulder, “My name is Ji Wanwan. You can call me by my name or like everyone else, call me Boss Ji.

Your sister needs to rest. You can go to the front desk and find 001 to recharge and get an Authority Card, then you can stay in the refuge. Tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock, I will wait for you at the entrance of the armory, and we’ll go to the Black Market together.”

“Okay…” The man agreed readily but seemed to have more to say.

Seeing his hesitation, Ji Wanwan pursed her lips, “After coming back from the Black Market, I will find a way to heal your sister. Don’t worry, I am a person of my word, I won’t deceive you.”

Having his concerns seen through, the man embarrassingly bowed his head, “I don’t distrust you, it’s just that I’m a bit anxious…”

Ji Wanwan nodded slightly, “I understand, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to rest now. I’m quite tired.”

The man quickly nodded, “Alright, you go ahead!”

As soon as she left the operating room, Ji Wanwan couldn’t wait to store the Crystal Core in System Space.

[Beep——]

[Detected a Level 4 Crystal Core.]

[Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission, reward: a Level 1 Ecological refuge base that can withstand Level 3 advanced zombie attacks, note: the base comes with its own power and water recycling systems.]

[Level 1 Ecological refuge base issued, the base includes Inner City and Outer City, max capacity 500 people.]

[The Inner City has one private space, six suites, one ordinary restaurant, one ordinary operating room, one ordinary armory, one basic laboratory, one base monitoring room, one robot butler, note: individuals with Authority Cards can enter the Inner City and have access to all materials in both Inner and Outer City but no control over them.]

[The Outer City has 120 double-occupancy bedrooms, 50 acres of farmland, 10 ponds, 5 warehouses, 2 training fields, 2 basic canteens, one small supermarket (the supermarket has private sale cabinets), 4 ordinary outposts, one robot butler, note: Outer City inhabitants must pay corresponding points to enter the refuge, those without material points can earn points through work, and without the Host’s approval, they cannot enter the Inner City.]

[Ecological refuge base upgrade commencing.]

As the System’s voice rang out, everything stood still, and the refuge began to upgrade under Ji Wanwan’s feet.

The original three-storey building turned into a two-storey building, with an overall more exquisite interior decoration.

The reception desk disappeared, and the cozy lobby changed into a solemn and dignified entrance hall.

Linking the first and second floors was a wide marble staircase.

The ordinary restaurant, ordinary operating room, ordinary armory, basic laboratory, base monitoring room, and storage room were all on the right side of the first floor.

The left side was Ji Wanwan’s private space.

Ji Wanwan was very curious about this private space.

Upon seeing the double-opening carved doors, Ji Wanwan’s heart surged with excitement. The fatigue from fighting the Level 4 zombies earlier vanished, leaving only excitement and anticipation.

She pushed open the doors and Ji Wanwan’s smile froze; she let out a roar, “What’s the meaning of giving me an unfinished space?! Are you kidding me?!” 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

System: “…”

Ji Wanwan was flustered, “System, care to explain?”

The System’s voice sounded somewhat feeble, “The Host can use store points to purchase items in the System Mall to decorate the private space.”

Ji Wanwan: “You’ve had your eye on my points for a while now, haven’t you?!”

The System sounded even more wronged, “The tasks and rewards are generated automatically. As the System, I can only act as a messenger.

However, if the Host is unwilling to spend points, you can also obtain materials on your own to decorate the private space, and the System will install them for free.”

Ji Wanwan: “So I should thank you, is that it?”

System: “…”

But complaints aside, Ji Wanwan still opened the System Mall with a mix of reluctance and honesty.

After the refuge was upgraded to a base, there were many more items in the System Mall, and they were categorized.

Ji Wanwan clicked on the home category for a quick scan and found the prices quite reasonable. She hummed twice and continued to look further.

Stepping into the private space, Ji Wanwan briefly surveyed the bare layout.

The three-bedroom, two-living-room, two-bathroom structure didn’t have small rooms; Ji Wanwan already had an idea of how to arrange it in her head.

Leaving the private space, she moved to the right side of the stairs.

The ordinary dining room’s decoration was understated and stylish, with seating changing from the usual four-seater plastic tables and chairs to two-seater and four-seater couches.

Not only that, the ordinary dining room also had one large and one small private room for group dining.

The variety of food underwent a qualitative change on top of the original canteen’s offerings. The hot pot, barbecue, and other delicacies that used to require Ji Wanwan’s presence were now readily available…

Ji Wanwan was quite satisfied.

Next to the dining hall was the storage room and the surveillance room.

The storage room was bigger than before, with a charging station for 001 and an added one for 002. The cleaning supplies were also more comprehensive.

Arriving in the surveillance room, Ji Wanwan saw the entire structure of the base on the holographic screen.

The whole base was built upon the prototype of the original resort, with only minor changes made to it.

To the south of the resort was a mountain, and the Inner City was set up near the foothills, with a natural barrier behind it.

There was a low wall between the Inner and Outer Cities. Outside the low wall, the areas that used to be planted with ecological landscapes were turned into farmland, and the decorative pools turned into ponds. Double-bedroom buildings, warehouses, supermarkets, training grounds, and dining halls were all based on the resort’s original buildings, with certain modifications made.

According to the holographic image, although the resort wasn’t entirely converted into a base this time, the whole resort area was within the safe zone, unreachable by zombies.

Besides, the only new structures that sprang up out of nowhere in the entire resort were the four sentry posts set up at each corner.

Having learned the general situation of the base, Ji Wanwan left the surveillance room and headed to the surgery room across the way…
