Yu Yuan looked at the Virtual Light Screen in front of him, his brow furrowed, and after remaining silent for a few seconds, he cursed softly:

"Damn Nikita, there can even be virus links in games?"

A few minutes ago, he was still in some hardcore loot-and-extract game, playing wits with San Gou and Lao Deng.

As a result, the next thing he knew, he picked up a blood-stained letter in a foot-bath establishment. As a veteran player, he had long been familiar with items inside games.

Yet he had no impression whatsoever of this letter. Holding a curious mindset, he clicked to open it, and inside was an inexplicable Wasteland Game invitation letter, with choices that were simply [Yes] and [No].

Yu Yuan did not think much and directly chose confirm.

Opening his eyes again, he had already appeared in this strange place, and then came those contents he had just seen.

Complaints aside!

Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, Yu Yuan understood that overthinking was useless.

As a doomsday survival enthusiast, he understood that he had been selected by some kind of entity and entered the Wasteland World.

Right now, the most important thing was to determine his own status.

The place where he was should be a dental clinic, but it had clearly been ransacked, with messy footprints and broken glass fragments everywhere.

Only a dental headlamp covered in stains lay in the corner.

This place should be the area he drew -- [Riot District].

Listening for a few seconds, he did not hear any abnormal sounds, so it should be safe for the time being.

His gaze looked toward the Virtual Light Screen, which was similar to a game interface.

The panel had five options: [Combat], [Survival], [Social], [Rankings], and [Special].

At this moment, both the [Survival] and [Social] pages had red dots flashing.

Clicking to view, [Survival] flashed a prompt message.

[Please determine the Hideout location as soon as possible and activate the Hideout management function]

After opening the [Social] page, it was a chat channel where people were spamming messages, most of which were help-seeking and trading information.

He also discovered that the chat channel could not be spoken in casually; sending a message of no more than 50 characters required 10 Survival Points.

The Survival Points Yu Yuan currently possessed were 0.

"Is this increasing the communication cost between players?" he thought thoughtfully.

After checking the other pages one by one, his gaze stayed on the Rankings page -- Hideout Rankings!

Rows of Hideout names were displayed on it, arranged sequentially.

The names were varied and colorful, but there was only one ranking standard.

-- Civilization Value, which synthesized Hideout facilities, material reserves, regional influence, potential risks, development potential, achievement unlocked... and many other aspects, quite comprehensive.

Because Yu Yuan had not yet built a Hideout, he did not have a ranking position, but looking at the 9999th place displayed on top, he guessed that he should be the 10000th.

Looking at the functional option pages of the Virtual Light Screen and the Hideout names with distinct personal characteristics on the rankings, Yu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. As a senior survivalist enthusiast, a long-lost trace of nervousness flashed in his heart.

He also noticed that someone in the chat channel seemed to mention him.

[Hive Shelter: The new arrivals supplemented this time should have entered the game! Why haven't they built their Hideout yet, and who knows what area they spawned in? Newbies have been dying a bit fast recently.]

[Tower of Babel Shelter: Hopefully they won't draw death maps like city districts or polar regions. Let's make it clear in advance, no one is allowed to snatch the newcomer this time with me, I want to challenge the S-rank rating and Civilization Fragment.]

Everyone, when encountering advertisements like "Are you a real person", there is no need to pay attention to them. Just close them and absolutely do not scan codes or send text messages!

[Stag Shelter: Don't even mention it, almost got wiped out by district thugs a few days ago, refitting an armored vehicle, how absurd!]

[Hive Shelter: Me too, previously encountered thug knights riding out, almost scared to death. Whoever snatches the newcomer gets to raid. Too bad about the Beginner Protection Period, still have to wait a month.]

[Star-Lord Shelter: It's hard to say whether the newcomer can even survive today, you guys are thinking too much, there is no safe place in the Wasteland World...]

Thugs... death maps... Civilization Fragment... Beginner Protection Period... snatching newcomers...

A bad premonition flashed in Yu Yuan's heart: "No way!"

Da-da-da...

Bang-bang-bang...

Fear of something makes it happen.

Gunshots rang out continuously outside the dental clinic; judging by the sound, a chaotic battle was taking place in the next block, and the roar of car engines could be heard approaching rapidly.

Without time to overthink, Yu Yuan hid behind the wall, concealing his form, and cautiously peered outside through the window.

Not long after he finished hiding, several modified off-road combat vehicles roared past the street, shooting at each other.

Boom...

A grenade exploded in the street!

Shrapnel and gravel kicked up by the explosion splashed against the clinic walls and glass, making a crackling rat-a-tat sound.

A slight bloodstain was also grazed onto the face of Yu Yuan, who was peeking out and looking around, causing him to hurriedly pull his head back.

Until the sound of car engines disappeared, Yu Yuan realized he could not wait any longer and must immediately find a Hideout.

Wanting to balance both defensiveness and concealment, the most suitable place was inevitably an underground structure.

Subway stations, underground parking lots, and Civil Defense Shelter bomb shelters were all optimal choices, but he quickly ruled out these locations.

Places he could think of, others could think of too, and they had very likely already become bandit strongholds.

Based on the current situation, the concealability of the Hideout had to be even higher than its defensiveness.

Half an hour later.

When Yu Yuan climbed up the ladder from a Sewer manhole and stood in the three-meter-diameter Sewer tunnel, he knew he had found the right place.

In the middle was the sewage channel, and on both sides were pathways for people to walk.

Perhaps because of the abandonment of the Wasteland city, although the Sewer air still carried a slight sour stench, it was also more ventilated and cleaner than expected.

Putting on the dentist headlamp, Yu Yuan shuttled through this city's Sewer network, searching for the most suitable location to build a Hideout.

Yet he made an unexpected discovery: between the Sewer and the ground, an underground space was actually still hidden, connected to the Sewer by a climbing ladder.

After climbing up, it looked very much like an early-period bomb shelter, but it had long been abandoned, filled everywhere with spider webs, featuring an ancient brick-vaulted arch structure, complex branches, and a sturdy build at least several decades old.

Air-Raid Shelter Level (masonry structure)

Perhaps when the city was first built, the need for wartime evacuation had been considered, hence this dry-wet separated, multi-layered shelter design had been made, only to be forgotten by people as time passed on.

Now, however, it had become the most perfect building location for Yu Yuan's Hideout, gaining both the concealment and convenience of the Sewer while also solving the risk of sewage soaking.

After careful selection, he found an open space hidden behind a half-person-high archway, suspected to be a shelter point.

"Let's choose here!"

He opened the Virtual Light Screen and clicked the option to build a Hideout.

[Do you want to set this location as your Hideout?]

Yu Yuan did not hesitate and directly chose to confirm.

[Hideout is under construction... 1%... 25%... 68%... 99%...]

The archway and the open space behind it were covered by green data, the green light gradually intensified, and a wall constructed of green data also appeared in front of Yu Yuan.

As the green light vanished, a wooden door embedded in the wall appeared before Yu Yuan.

[Congratulations! Hideout construction complete]

-- Facility Management Log opened!

-- Resource Management Log opened!

-- Hideout Event Memo opened!

[Please determine the Hideout name as soon as possible to unlock the Hideout Rankings]

For this, he directly chose his long-standing gaming nickname—Fish Abyss.
