Inside the Shelter.

Melanie, the little black-haired girl, was brimming with excitement, her voice quivering slightly from the thrill.

"I gained the Hawkeye Skill, which allows me to see further and clearer, and notice more details."

Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

This girl really has a knack for surveillance; she might end up sitting in front of a laptop all day.

At this moment, there was only one last Zombie left outside the fence.

Lin Yi looked at the crowd behind him and shouted, "Who wants to give it a try? Such opportunities are rare."

However, everyone was timid and hesitant, with no one daring to respond or step forward.

Most people here were relatives of Warriors or young girls without the strength to even truss a chicken.

They were full of fear towards the Zombies and didn't even dare to get a little closer.

Just when things were getting awkward, a girl stepped out from the crowd.

She looked very cute and was one of the Survivors liberated from the feminist camp.

She bit her lower lip slightly, her voice tinged with tension and hesitation, "I'll...do it..."

"Great, I admire your courage!"

Lin Yi smiled warmly and handed the sword to the girl.

He gently encouraged, "Don't worry, I'll be with you all the way."

The cute girl nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, and walked to the edge of the fence.

"Ahh!"

The last Zombie seemed to sense danger, frantically shaking the fence.

It bit onto the wire with its pus-filled teeth, letting out a spine-chilling howl.

"Ah!"

The girl's panic caused her to lose her grip, dropping the sword in fright at this sudden frenzy.

Lin Yi's quick reflexes saved the day, catching the sword precisely before it could slash the girl's leg.

Seeing the girl's frightened pale face, he smiled and softly reassured, "Don't be scared. Look, it can't even get past the fence, it can't harm you at all."

The cute girl exhaled heavily, steadied herself, and looked up, her eyes full of gratitude towards Lin Yi.

After joining the Shelter, she had mostly been in contact with Chen Youyou and others daily.

This mysterious boss in front of her, she rarely even got a chance to see him up close, let alone talk to him.

Unexpectedly, the boss was really as gentle as the other girls had said!

"Want to give it another try?" Lin Yi encouraged.

"Yeah, I can do it!" The cute girl straightened her body and took the sword from the boss.

She approached the fence again, staring intently at the half-decayed eyeball of the Zombie,

Her gaze grew determined, then she raised the sword high and thrust it in with all her might.

With a soft splat!

The Zombie fell to the ground lifelessly.

"Nicely done," Lin Yi praised, stepping forward to pull the sword stuck in the fence.

At this moment, the girl seemed dazed, standing still in astonishment.

The crowd grew tense, yet seeing Lin Yi's calm demeanor, they instinctively held their breath.

Suddenly, the girl jumped up in excitement, "A wheel appeared just now! I gained a Skill!"

Her face was flushed, and she excitedly reported, "This Skill is called—Banshee's Roar! It lets me emit high-density sound waves that can daze people around me!"

"That's quite the Skill. If you're interested in fighting, you can find Solomon. Of course, it's totally up to you—"

"Of course, I'm willing!" Before Lin Yi could finish, the girl vigorously nodded, her eyes bright with excitement.

Then, as if remembering something, she shyly asked with a blushing face, "Um, boss... can I fight alongside you in the future?"

"There will be a chance," Lin Yi answered with a smile.

"Yay!" The cute girl was over the moon.

Lin Yi nodded, ready to arrange for the Zombie's body to be moved.

Just then, he received a prompt in his mind:

[The intruder has been repelled]

[The enemy's body is being reclaimed, you gained 30 points of biomass]

[For repelling the intruder, you received three Survivor Coins, sent directly to the warehouse!]

After receiving this information, Lin Yi looked up.

He watched as the Zombie's body ahead quietly melted into the ground like thawing snow.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was very pleased.

This saves a lot of hassle, no longer needing to send people to collect bodies and Coins.

With this matter resolved.

Lin Yi returned to his laptop, beginning the task of strengthening the Shelter's defense.

Currently, the shop offered various defense structures to choose from, ranging from simple fences to sturdy reinforced concrete walls.

Initially, he planned to have the Warriors build simple outposts, but considering the residents' safety and future potential benefits, he opted for direct purchases.

First, all the original wooden posts were replaced with thick and sturdy reinforced concrete pillars.

The fence was raised to 3 meters, and the side and top wire netting was upgraded to more durable and flexible versions.

Behind this fence, another wall—a 15-meter high inner wall—was erected.

Between the two walls, there were multiple zones.

Watchtowers were built at the four corners, equipped with bright searchlights and gun mounts.

Currently, there were only two guns, both salvaged from a previous military jeep.

Once the fence wall was completed, the anxiety of the Shelter's Worker class residents significantly eased.

Solomon wasn't idle either. As soon as the fence was up, he arranged for the Warriors to monitor the watchtowers day and night, and also set up patrols in all directions.

The red-haired girl, Sylvie, was now managing the Shelter's armory.

Her main duties included weapon repair, Arrow crafting, and distributing equipment.

Through this period of busy work, she had leveled up to level 4.

Every time she reported her work to Lin Yi, she would bounce around and often casually take the boss's afternoon snack.

Lin Yi was quite helpless about this, only able to sip his bitter coffee while appreciating the pond view.

Now, the pond had truly become a lake.

At this moment, everyone was finished with farm work, with many strolling by the lake, swimming, or sunbathing.

There was even someone fishing!

But there weren't any fish there, to be precise, there were no living creatures in the Magical Lake Water.

"Hmm... what would happen if we put some fish in the lake?"

The Magical Lake Water had unique healing properties, so if he bought some fish fry from the shop to put in, would it promote aquaculture?

If it could really succeed, there would be a continuous supply of seafood to eat!

"Huh, what's happening there?"

Suddenly, Lin Yi noticed a long line forming by the public bathhouse.

A group of women was gathered there, noisily discussing among themselves.

Regina was in front, directing everyone.

"Please don't worry, we'll be distributing numbers. When it's your turn, you can go in. Please queue here for registration to get a number..."

Lin Yi approached her, "Regina, is there a problem here?"

"Boss!?"

Upon seeing Lin Yi, Regina's pretty face lit up with a delighted smile, "Everyone wants to shower, but there aren't enough bathrooms..."

"Tell them that we'll start building houses and infrastructure in the coming days. Let them know not to worry too much and to bear with it for now."

"Understood, Boss!"

Lin Yi was very satisfied with Regina's organizational skills, nodded, and turned to walk away.

"Boss!"

At this moment, a voice called out from a distance.

Lin Yi stopped in his tracks, puzzled.

He saw Solomon shouting while quickly running towards him.

"Boss! Another Zombie has appeared, this time... to the east!"
