Shelter Upgrade, Commissioned Design Drawings!

Huang Biao's core dropped significantly more supplies than the other three.

It almost filled the expanded ten square meters.

At first glance, Su Mo spotted three large bags containing a full five or six kilograms of biscuits.

The biscuits were similar to those sold in bulk at supermarkets. After eating one, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction, noting that there wasn't much difference in taste compared to packaged biscuits.

With the storage space's refrigeration function, items placed inside were essentially in a Schrödinger's state, only materializing when Su Mo observed them.

He gathered the biscuit bags and packed them away.

Su Mo then noticed two large barrels in the corner.

Upon closer inspection, he grinned.

It truly was a complete set. Along with the generator, Huang Biao had also acquired two barrels containing a full 200L of Diesel.

"I thought I'd have to make biodiesel myself, but I never expected such a stroke of luck!"

Homemade biodiesel could easily damage the generator's internals, but with the system, he could just spend some Survival Points to repair it if it broke.

However, having Diesel to get through the difficult early stages meant he could probably trade for more Diesel later on!

After spending two hours sorting through the items and burying the useless ones outside, Su Mo opened the chat channel and randomly selected a dead person with a grayed-out avatar to send a message listing:

"Generator x1, 200L of Diesel"

"Biscuits 6kg, bread 2kg, unopened purified water 2.5L, beef jerky 800g, 7 boxes of pure milk, 3 corn sausages, 1 cup of yogurt, 2 bottles of Pepsi, 2 bags of Lay's potato chips"

"One opened bag of salt (confirmed non-toxic), one small unopened bag of chili oil"

"One rechargeable flashlight (fully charged), one extremely heavy Wolf Tooth Club, one pair of unworn sneakers (size 43)"

"15 units of wood, 19 units of plant fiber, 30 units of stone, 3 units of iron, 1 unit of copper"

"And a map that seems to depict the nearby terrain (important)"

After painstakingly recording all the supplies, Su Mo felt an immense sense of satisfaction just looking at the summarized data.

Of course, at such a moment, Su Mo wasn't stingy about sharing the joy. He took out two corn sausages from the pile, tore one open, took a big bite, and tossed the other to Oreo, who was drooling profusely.

"Good boy, I'm feeding you now, so you'd better earn it back for me tenfold in the future!"

Oreo ate with a greasy mouth, not forgetting to bark happily a couple of times.

With a tasty treat in his mouth, working wasn't tiring. Su Mo was in a great mood, so he summoned the game panel to see how to upgrade the Shelter!

Absorbing the cores of four damaged Shelters triggered the upgrade system.

The Shelter, which hadn't displayed a level before, suddenly showed its current level.

[Personal Shelter]
Level: lv1
Description: A Shelter constructed entirely of stone, exceptionally sturdy, providing excellent security and effective in isolating moisture and retaining warmth.
Space: 140㎡ (ceiling height 4.2m)
Integrity: 100%
Facilities: Iron Stove, bed, Large Vegetable Culture Medium, Youneng Well Water Extractor, dining table.
Current Available Permissions: Reconfigure Shelter layout, automatically generate partition walls (once, please adjust with caution)

"It can actually generate partitions, this is a Shelter, this is living!"

Looking at the game panel's prompts, Su Mo's eyes shone brightly.

The spacious Shelter was currently just a large open floor plan. Upon entering, the first thing one saw was the dark corners that received no light.

It was fine during the day, but it was a bit unnerving at night.

A man won't get fat without midnight snacks, and a horse won't get strong without night grazing! Just slaughtering a wave of bandits had yielded such rewards. Su Mo even considered starting a live stream to attract hatred and summon more bandits to deliver supplies.

"Level one only allows one construction, so I have to plan it carefully."

Su Mo looked at the planning interface on the panel.

With a thought, a box popped up.

Inside the box was a 3D rendering of the current Shelter, with the floor, stone walls, and all sides clearly marked.

Su Mo briefly browsed all the functions, closed the interface, and opened the chat interface.

After tonight's battle, Su Mo had completely resolved his inner conflict regarding outsiders.

In the wasteland, the more one tries to stay out of it, the more one becomes trapped in its mire.

Completely isolating oneself, treating the Shelter as a lonely island in a vast ocean, is the most foolish thing to do.

There is an order to learning, and each profession has its expertise.

During the day, the architectural style and overall construction of the China Shelter were extremely ingenious, definitely the work of a master.

For this kind of professional design work, Su Mo decided to outsource it to maximize the use of space in the Shelter.

Finally having a chance to restructure, Su Mo was very dissatisfied with the existing Shelter structure, but didn't know where to start.

First of all, the entrance to the gate is a long staircase.

These stairs are fine normally, but once someone breaks through the gate and rushes in, it becomes a close-quarters battle, with no safety at all. A secondary buffer zone, or even three, must be added! Then, inside the house, a 30-square-meter culture medium is placed in the center of the base, which not only takes up space but also affects subsequent development.

In addition to the renovation, Su Mo had a second idea.

After tonight's contact, once someone is pinned down underground, going out requires a risky raid.

Once or twice is fine, but too many times will inevitably lead to a mishap.

Therefore, building a buffer zone on the ground is also a very necessary measure.

Just because it is an underground Shelter, the control of the ground cannot be completely abandoned from the beginning.

Having made up his mind, Su Mo found the private message function and, using the contact information of the China Shelter from earlier in the day, began his first historic call.

The person in charge of the contact was the little girl who spoke at the Shelter during the day - Shen Ke!

[Su Mo: Hello, I am Su Mo from China. I would like to trade with your Shelter, is that possible?]

Not long after the message was sent.

Three very urgent lines of text were sent over. Before Su Mo could see what they said, the other side directly dialed a video call.

After thinking about it, Su Mo didn't refuse.

Since he had already shown his face to everyone in the world, there was no need to hide now.

The call connected.

Shen Ke's face appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Su Mo, I am the publicity officer of the 13th Army, 79th Regiment Disaster Relief Point. We agree to your trade request. What kind of trade would you like to do?"

Looking at Su Mo's face in the camera, Shen Ke tried her best to suppress the shock in her heart and not show it.

In her view.

The first thing that caught her eye was the conspicuous generator and the two large barrels of Diesel next to it.

Then there were the luxurious colas, bread, biscuits, and other living supplies. In the corner of her eye, she also saw a corner of the culture medium.

The wealth in the Shelter was too shocking to Shen Ke's view of the apocalypse.

As for Su Mo's handsome face, it seemed even more mysterious against the backdrop of this pile of supplies.

"I would like to ask someone to help me design the structure of the underground Shelter, preferably to give me a drawing."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Shen Ke nodded quickly.

"Our Shelter has the famous designer Doctor Shen from China, who is also my uncle. Is it okay for me to ask him to design it for you?"

"No problem, no problem, I think you should know the structure of the underground Shelter, according to..."

Hearing that it was Doctor Shen, Su Mo nodded slightly in surprise, and began to talk about his needs.

On the other side, Shen Ke simply called her uncle Shen Yitian over, so that Su Mo could communicate with him face to face.

After a while, the two finished discussing the details.

"Okay, we understand your needs. I will give you this design drawing at the latest the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, I will strictly abide by the confidentiality agreement in accordance with wartime management!"

Shen Yitian was extremely straightforward. After discussing the needs, he picked up his straw umbrella from the table and strode away, a very practical person.

Su Mo had heard of this doctor before.

Many super buildings in China, including the 840-meter-high tower, were designed by him. Designing a Shelter now is of course a small problem.

After Shen Yitian left, Shen Ke returned to the center of the screen.

"Doctor Shen didn't mention a price. I wonder how many resources it would take to make such a design?"

Seeing that Shen Ke was embarrassed to ask, Su Mo directly got straight to the point.

As for the price, he believed that Shen Ke would definitely not ask for an exorbitant amount. From the beginning, when she didn't ask him too many questions, Su Mo knew that the China Shelter had come with full sincerity.

However, the next moment, Shen Ke's words made Su Mo's heart extremely turbulent.

"Mr. Su Mo, this design didn't use any resources. Consider it our sincerity for the first transaction with the China Shelter. We hope that Mr. Su can help the Chinese people in distress as much as possible."

"Even if we come to the wasteland world, we must support each other and walk on strongly. Of course, Mr. Su, you have 100% autonomous right to defend yourself against the kind of thugs you encountered tonight, and we support your approach."

Requesting recommendations, requesting collections. Starting tomorrow, the wasteland will be updated once, introducing a real death survival challenge!
