With the outermost layer of garage defense, the three-section passageway was changed to a two-section one.

The first step involved opening the stone gate and entering the area. After passing through a horizontal Disinfection Passage approximately five meters long, Su Mo looked up and saw that an opening had indeed been reserved above for the future installation of disinfection nozzles.

The walls on both sides of the passageway still retain a dense array of small holes, which can be activated simply by installing the corresponding mechanisms and weapons.

"There should be another door here, but the blueprint shows an iron door. The game probably didn't detect any Iron Block, so it'll just leave it empty for me."

Lifting his foot, turning a corner, Su Mo stepped over the threshold and onto the downward slope. This slope was stepped, and the distance should be a little over 3 meters but less than 4 meters.

After turning another corner, you enter the last horizontal passageway in the corridor.

This is the Isolation Passage. After the previous section of the passage is disinfected, you can place the temporarily disinfected items here. Once the isolation is complete, you can bring them into the main house.

The Isolation Passage is not long, only five meters. According to the Z-shaped inclined design, although the passage is fourteen meters long in total, the actual sinking distance is only four meters.

Pushing open the wooden front door and stepping down a flight of stairs, Su Mo descended to the second floor and turned on the ceiling Ceiling Lamp.

Suddenly, the previously dark second floor became brightly lit.

Pushing open the stone door on the left side of the entrance, a rumbling sound came out, revealing the Oil Well that had been moved and was already in operation.

The well location adopts a concealed design, with a recessed area on the wall. After the well is inserted into this area, the oil pipe below is firmly connected to the ground.

This design not only allows the well to be placed on the second floor, but also effectively reduces the vibration and noise generated during oil extraction.

After closing the heavy stone door, Su Mo tried to listen to the noise made by the Oil Well during operation.

The sound was distinct but not harsh; at least, without pressing one's ear against the stone door, the sounds and vibrations were perfectly within acceptable limits.

Nodding in satisfaction, Su Mo silently gave a thumbs-up to the comprehensiveness of the upgraded design.

Also taking noise into consideration is the power supply – a generator set – placed inside the open stone door on the right.

The massive 300kW Diesel Generator and Lithium Iron Battery sit quietly in the larger Energy Room, supplying power to the shelter.

This place was originally Su Mo to be 10 square meters, which was perfectly sufficient. However, after the upgrade, the system thoughtfully increased it to 25 square meters for future expansion of the generator set.

He tried turning on the generator and heard a rumbling sound. Su Mo then closed the door again and listened carefully.

Like the Oil Well, the thickness of this stone door and the angle of the inner walls also reduce sound transmission, preventing sound from amplifying within a certain range and creating a terrifying echo effect.

It can be said that the space and comfort have been utilized to the fullest! After opening the stone door and waiting for the generator to stop, Su Mo went out and continued to walk inside.

The main function of the second floor is to store resources, so most of the space has been converted into warehouses.

In a secure warehouse separated by a stone door, Su Mo opened the door and saw grayish-white saltpeter and Sulfur Mine piled up in their respective compartments.

The heavy stone door isolated the water vapor and ensured that even if these dangerous chemical products reacted, there would be enough time for Su Mo to deal with them.

"The security warehouse should be the largest on the second floor, a full 65 square meters, and the remaining supply warehouses should occupy a total area of about 60 square meters!"

The ordinary supply warehouse is open, and like the previous design, it has three different types of compartments for different purposes to ensure daily use.

After passing through these rooms, you will arrive at the staircase leading down to the second floor. Directly opposite the staircase is the now-renovated Breeding Room.

Considering the ventilation of the three floors of the base, it makes sense to place the Breeding Room here.

Pushing open the door, warm sunlight spilled out. It was still the familiar fifty square meters in size. Large Vegetable Culture Medium was placed against the wall in the corner, absorbing the sunlight. All the leaves were trembling slightly, looking very happy.

In the original ventilation shaft, a huge stone channel connects to the center, splitting the air coming down from above in two and transporting it to the third floor.

Diagonally opposite the Culture Medium is the Youneng Water Well, which is also a concealed structure. A wall is recessed in, and the well is hidden inside, so it does not affect the usable space in the base at all.

Next to the well, there was a large vat that originally contained Psionic Water, covered with a wooden board to prevent dust from getting in.

"Hehe, this will make daily work much easier from now on; we can just use the Psionic Water to irrigate the land."

He touched the Chinese Cabbage that had already begun to form, as well as the garlic cloves that had sprouted, and looked at the green tomatoes hanging on the Tomato Seedlings, which were about the size of a baby's fist. Su Mo was overjoyed and laughed heartily.

"The design of the second floor is not bad. It is big enough and practical enough. In fact, these defensive passages are completely unnecessary. If someone really attacked here, I would probably have already activated the system and run away!"

Touching the small holes that occasionally protrude even on the Culture Medium, Su Mo felt slightly helpless, but at the same time, he was also gratified by the system's thorough consideration.

Having arrived at the core of the base, the defense issue can actually be considered last.

First, to overcome the numerous obstacles ahead and reach this point, one must possess a level of "hard power" that even Su Mo would find terrifying! However, Su Mo doesn't believe that someone with such hard power will emerge within the next year.

It is protected by a stone wall seven or eight meters high on the outside, and by Level 3 Alloy Gate, a heavy stone gate, and a heavy iron gate that is not yet built but is already in the planning stage. With such defenses, there is no possibility of breaking through unless a large number of bombs are used.

Secondly, if someone were to enter the second floor, Su Mo would definitely run away without hesitation, waiting to investigate the enemy's situation before turning around and seeking revenge.

Engaging in direct combat with them at the base is too risky and unnecessary.

"But if outsiders join my shelter in the future, it can be used as a deterrent, right?"

To save electricity, Su Mo returned to the exit, turned off the Ceiling Lamp, and stepped onto the stairs to the third floor, his heart filled with anticipation.

If asked which of the three floors he was most looking forward to, Su Mo would say it was the third floor! Compared to the first two floors, this was where he had lived before, and Su Mo could strongly sense even the slightest change! He pressed the switch, and light shone out, revealing the magnificent design of the third floor to Su Mo.

Although most rooms currently lack matching furnishings, the kitchen and bathroom remain empty.

But this doesn't stop Su Mo from imagining what the future will look like!

The various partitions divide the 220 square meters into neat and orderly spaces. Compared to a large single-level apartment, this design is extremely comfortable, providing enough space for movement without feeling empty or lonely.

Even if a few more people move in, it's more than enough.

"Hey! System, you're so awesome, can't you create a girl for me?!"

With such a lavish base and no one to share it with, Su Mo felt quite stifled.

This feeling is similar to playing Farming Genre game; playing online and playing offline are naturally different experiences.

Shaking his head, putting away his desire to flirt with girls... cough cough, his desire to meet someone like him, Su Mo began to wander around the third floor, taking in the sights.

First is the bathroom with separate wet and dry areas. The wooden tub that was previously used for bathing has been moved in, and the floor has already been fitted with drainage holes and an uneven floor design.

Next to the bathroom is a toilet, a full eight square meters, six square meters for human use and two square meters for Oreo, which is more than enough for daily use!

After this renovation, the research room is now directly connected to the bedroom, serving as both a study and a place where Su Mo can finish his work and immediately go to bed! The War Room isn't large, but it still has a full 25 square meters of space. Inside, the LCD TV is at the far end, while the large CRT TV is on the outside.

Furthermore, it connects directly to the gym at the back! "This time, the armory is located in a corner of the gym, where weapons can be stored for training. There's also a hidden door inside the armory."

Trying to enter the still very empty weapons room, Su Mo groped around on the wall for a while and found a slightly protruding spot, which he then pushed back heavily.

Sure enough, the seemingly sturdy stone door was pushed inward, revealing a passageway.

He slipped into the bedroom and looked at the stone door behind him that had closed again. Su Mo touched it and found that it was closed perfectly, with almost no trace of it.

"The biggest change in this game is this two-way stone door; it's so convenient!"

"Armor can be taken directly to the second floor, and some life-saving or emergency equipment can be placed here. If someone attacks, we can just grab the items and run!"

Turning my head, I turned on the chandelier in the bedroom.

The arrangement was familiar, with a three-piece bedding set on the small bed and two roughly made Bedside Table placed to the side.

Trying to lift the bed board, Su Mo saw the newly modified escape route.

This time, the passage was placed under the bed, making it extremely well hidden.

The passageway features a U-shaped stepped design. Although the other side is currently blocked by the system and construction is not yet complete, it cannot be put into use for the time being.

However, once you spend a dozen or so points to clear the path, you can lift the bed board and quickly leave the shelter from under the bed.

"Now there's only one problem left regarding the shelter!"

After taking a few breaths of slightly polluted air, Su Mo slowly stepped onto the stairs and headed towards the second floor.

After the renovation was completed, in less than an hour, the air on the third floor of the shelter already felt somewhat stuffy because there was no proper ventilation system.
