Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System

Chapter 82: Upgrading the Underground Bunker

Alex was eager and quickly rushed back to the underground bunker.

At this moment, the underground bunker was covered with S alloy on the foundation and walls, forming metal rooms.

And after upgrading to the mid-level underground bunker, it could activate properties such as cold resistance, heat resistance, and lightning resistance.

Only after upgrading to the mid-level underground bunker could it be considered a strict refuge.

After all, the villa where Alex and others lived could only withstand zombies.

Building a basic underground bunker could only withstand meteor showers.

If there were extreme disasters in the future like magma rain or snowstorms, they would need a mid-level underground bunker.

Although there were no signs of magma rain or snowstorms at present.

Prevention is better than cure, so upgrading early also eliminates worries.

Alex opened the information panel of the underground bunker.

[Underground Bunker]

Level: Basic

Introduction: A basic S alloy underground bunker with basic defense capabilities, capable of withstanding most disasters.

He clicked on the upgrade button.

[Do you want to upgrade the underground bunker?]

[Yes/No]

Alex continued to click [Yes].

[Underground Bunker (Mid-level)]

Upgrade materials: Concrete (5000/5000)

S Alloy (165/20)

The five thousand units of concrete and twenty pieces of S alloy in the backpack disappeared with a ding, and then after transformation, the underground bunker was upgraded.

The underground bunker expanded outward from its original base.

The basic underground bunker was built based on the villa’s basement.

This time, the expansion of space to the mid-level extended in the direction of the villa’s backyard.

Alex witnessed as the underground bunker now had an empty area equivalent to the villa’s backyard on the surface.

Now, there was a place for the fresh fruits and vegetables they planted.

Moreover, it freed up a lot of space.

Because this was a whole empty space, unlike the various things like garages, flower beds, and ornamental trees on the surface villa yard, it was far from the area expanded by the underground bunker.

After the upgrade was complete, Alex went upstairs to tell Mia and Olivia the news.

At first, they were stunned.

Just a moment ago, they were wondering how to gather enough concrete to upgrade the underground bunker to the mid-level.

And now, it was upgraded in the blink of an eye? But then they thought, who cares, it’s upgraded now anyway!

Presumably, Alex found the team that provided the concrete.

The three of them happily moved all the fruits and vegetables from the yard and rooftop terrace into the underground bunker.

They also hung many fluorescent lamps in the planting area of the underground bunker to ensure the photosynthesis of the fruits and vegetables.

Mission accomplished!

Alex wiped his sweat.

But he didn’t feel how tiring it was to move the fruits and vegetables up and down.

Seeing the fruits and vegetables he had planted with hard work surviving, he felt only joy in his heart.

At the same time, now that they had solved the problem that had been troubling them, Alex could fully prepare to go to the old town area.

…

After a good night’s sleep.

The next morning, Alex immediately received today’s unlimited resources.

“Unlimited 7.62mm bullets!”

This was a powerful weapon!

9mm bullets could only be used in pistols and submachine guns, and their power was always somewhat unsatisfactory.

Now with unlimited 7.62mm bullets, getting a rifle would significantly increase their strength.

More importantly, the Gatling gun in the yard finally had a place to shine, no longer worrying about running out of bullets.

After eating and drinking their fill, they were ready to set off!

…

On the road, it was eerily quiet.

There were no cicadas chirping, no breeze, just endless silence.

In the distance came the roar of a car, breaking the silence of the road, bringing a bit of liveliness.

The car was speeding, and the rushing speed made the tires on the asphalt road emit a whooshing sound, and the old road signs on the roadside were blown off by the roaring wind.

A road sign fell with a clatter beside the road, and although the oil-printed words on it were somewhat blurred due to time and rain erosion.

But you could still make out a few words.

Industrial City.

This was Alex’s third consecutive hour of driving, and along the way, they had encountered quite a few zombies.

When encountering deserted sections of the road, he would step on the gas recklessly.

In high spirits, he even hummed a song.

As Alex hummed a tune, he suddenly saw a crumbling road sign with the words “Industrial City” written on it.

He knew that his destination for this trip was almost there.

Entering the old town area, Alex stopped the car and walked slowly on the streets of the city.

The name “old town area” was aptly chosen.

The architectural style of the streets resembled that of the late 20th century, with white brick and red tile buildings.

Even the storefront sidewalks were paved with cement roads covered with gravel.

Alex saw a barber shop, with broken glass windows and doors.

Looking at the old-fashioned barber chairs and round mirrors inside, he felt like he was back in his childhood.

It seemed like this old town area had stagnated fifteen or twenty years ago, with no changes in appearance. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Clatter, clatter…

Alex heard noises coming from the second floor of the barber shop.

It was the sound of someone coming downstairs.

The one coming downstairs was a zombie.

It wore a moss green vest, had a Mediterranean hairstyle on its head, wore knee-length shorts and sandals, and stared at Alex.

Roar! The zombie let out a low growl.

Alex put down the hair scissors he had picked up out of curiosity and smiled slightly, “Hello! I’ll just leave now, goodbye.”

The zombie growled again and rushed towards him swiftly.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Alex pulled out his UMP9 submachine gun and accurately shot the zombie in the head.

After long periods of practice without regard to cost, Alex’s marksmanship had become quite accurate.

Although he wasn’t a sharpshooter, he was no longer as inaccurate as he used to be when zombies stood in front of him.

After dealing with the zombie, Alex went upstairs.

Just strolling around, he didn’t expect to find anything.

But on the second floor, he found a bronze-level resource crate.

Alex put two bottles of water and a bag of bread into his backpack, somewhat surprised at the density of resource crates in the old town area.

“I’ve only just entered the old town area, just strolling around in a barber shop, and I can find a bronze-level resource crate. If I go a bit deeper, wouldn’t there be a bunch of silver-level and gold-level crates?”

“No wonder the sheriff, that old fox, was so decisive in moving to the central area and now wants to develop the old town area.”

“Tsk, the villa area really is only suitable for retirement.”

After adjusting his inner turmoil a bit, Alex walked out of the barber shop and continued walking towards the depths of the old town area.

The old town area wasn’t that big, and if driving at normal speed, it wouldn’t take half an hour to travel from south to north.

However, at Alex’s walking speed, it would still take some time to reach the central section of the old town area.

Alex didn’t intentionally hide, he walked openly on the streets of the old town area.

Wearing his combat uniform, he calmly faced the zombies charging towards him.

The zombie horde was organized.

At the moment, they were just ordinary zombies, so he dared to walk on the streets without worry.

Alex had great confidence in his own strength.

Wearing his combat uniform, holding his UMP9 submachine gun, and carrying a critical strike katana on his back, he wasn’t afraid of the zombies at all.

Of course, if it were a zombie horde, he would strategically retreat without looking back.

Or hide in the armored vehicle and drive away directly.

Alex had seen videos of zombie hordes in the old town area posted by other survivors on the chat channel.

When the zombie horde was unleashed, the street he was standing on now would be completely inundated with zombies.

All zombies!
