In the World of Space-Time Fragments.

Solomon looked guilty: "Boss, I....."

Lin Yi waved his hand, indicating no need to say more; at this moment, his attention was entirely on that Unification Device.

This seemingly insignificant small device could actually lure out hidden enemies!

He suddenly realized that to completely control other Worlds of Space-Time Fragments, it was necessary to eliminate all enemies.

An entire hour passed, and apart from the initial three zombies that appeared, no other uninvited guests visited.

As the countdown entered the last few seconds, the light of the Unification Device suddenly shrank, its deep blue color gradually fading to pure white.

The entire device began to melt into liquid, slowly pouring into the hole left by the beam.

After the last drop of liquid flowed into the hole, the opening quickly closed up again, and the system announced unification completed.

The wall of mist began to tremble, the grass started to change color, and the trees turned green.

A net-like fence appeared along the wall of mist, just like the other fences within the Shelter.

[Congratulations!]

[You have captured a small space-time fragment]

As a reward, your Shelter receives 2000 experience points, and acquires 500,000 square meters of land, along with all the resources on that land.

Note: The current space-time fragment depth is 956 meters, with a 56-meter discrepancy from the Shelter.

[Until the depth difference is eliminated, the Shelter cannot be expanded again. Do you wish to eliminate the depth difference?]

Lin Yi's eye twitched; he knew this certainly wouldn't be free: "Damn... how much will it cost me?"

[Eliminating the depth difference of the Shelter will cost you 200,000 units of biological material and 75,000 Coins]

"You're trying to bleed me dry! Do you think I'll agree? Think again!"

Ten minutes later.

An earthquake began.

The earthquake lasted for more than a minute, but the magnitude wasn't particularly intense, and it didn't cause any real problems.

[The depth of the Shelter has been leveled, and the Shelter can now be expanded again]

Note: Due to the Shelter depth exceeding 956 meters, the cost of future expansion increased.

"What?! [Insert a large amount of Chinese profanity here] You bastard!"

"...Boss?" Solomon saw Lin Yi cursing and shrank his neck.

He knew this was the boss's way of venting emotions, but now it was best not to provoke him and to keep a distance.

Another ten minutes later.

The team emerged from the double-opening heavy door.

Chen Youyou saw the boss's gloomy face and quickly stepped forward to ask: "Is everything okay, boss?"

The recent earthquake made her quite uneasy.

"It's okay, it's just the Shelter is too much of a pit." Lin Yi muttered sullenly.

Then, he turned and instructed Solomon.

"Assign personnel to the newly occupied space-time fragment for a comprehensive inventory of materials. The progress can be slowed down, but accurate records must be ensured, as tough battles may be ahead."

"Yes, boss!" Solomon deployed people to the task.

Lin Yi went over to his laptop.

Now the total area of the Shelter is 1.5 million square meters, about 2250 acres of land area.

He decided to double the size of the Shelter, expanding it to 3 million square meters.

After all, planning extra space in advance is meaningful.

This expansion cost a total of 85,080 Coins, but there was one issue— two fences did not move and remained in their original positions.

"Damn Shelter!"

Lin Yi spent another 16,000 Coins to make the fence wall align with the mist line defense.

He also spent 7,000 Coins to reinforce the entire fence wall, install a second layer of fencing, and build new watchtowers and lighting facilities.

After completing the defense line, it was finally time for the eagerly awaited— Town construction.

Firstly, in the northeast direction.

Two small blocks were constructed, each block having 38 two-story wooden apartment buildings.

Each building contains eight bedrooms, a kitchen, and a shared living room.

Each block has a cafeteria that can accommodate 400 people, restrooms, and a common bathroom.

Next, in the northwest direction.

An industrial zone was built.

First paving roads, then constructing several buildings.

All buildings in the industrial zone are built with bricks; although more expensive than wood, they are sturdier and fireproof.

The first building in the industrial zone is a small meat processing factory, followed by an industrial cold storage that can hold 500 tons of meat.

The power infrastructure building is located at one corner of this area, housing four bioreactors inside.

The bioreactor is about the size of a vehicle, consuming 1,000 units of biological material daily, but providing enough electricity for 1,000 people.

After upgrading to level 3, the warehouse was also moved to this area. The upgrade cost 10,000 Coins, increasing its capacity to 30,000 square meters.

The warehouse is now a three-story concrete building equipped with a freight elevator, a staff lounge, and an independent cafeteria, effectively making it a logistics center.

Then, moving to the southwest direction.

The agricultural zone was planned here.

Lin Yi first constructed roads and lighting facilities and built six small buildings for people's rest.

Then came a basic irrigation system to facilitate easier crop irrigation, significantly improving work efficiency.

Orianna, responsible for agricultural management, suggested building a tool warehouse here as well.

Lin Yi did not oppose, erecting a simple wooden building. This way, farm workers wouldn't have to carry tools back and forth to the warehouse.

The military area is located in another corner of this region.

It includes a shooting range, barracks, a garage, and an armory, practically a level 2 warehouse.

Sylvie is responsible for managing this building, as access to all weapons must go through her.

Finally, in the southeast direction.

The leisure area is established here.

What used to be a small pond with a spring has now become a large lake.

A small but dense forest has also appeared, along with benches, a tennis court, and a football field.

But the most interesting things are the Entertainment Center and the Joy House.

The former is a casino.

The latter houses a woman's court.

The women's court was proposed by some single men and a group of women who detest physical labor.

Finally, the central area.

Here, almost nothing has changed.

The warehouse and electrical equipment have moved out, replaced by a headquarters building.

This headquarters building is designed with the future development of the Shelter in mind.

Currently, it hosts Chen Youyou's office, equipped with her personal laptop and a monitoring room.

Melanie and other personnel responsible for monitoring also use this office.

However, Melanie is still at the open area for now, finding it more convenient to work there.

The headquarters building also includes some empty offices, a small cafeteria, and a lounge.

This building is constructed with red bricks, having three floors, and a basement.

Lin Yi put down his laptop and stretched.

All the modifications to the Shelter cost 225,000 Coins; two-thirds of his funds vanished in the blink of an eye.

However, as the saying goes, he would rather make money work for him than hoard money.

He believes that these investments in the Shelter will yield multiple returns in the future...
