Chapter 105、Huh? I've Really Become a Post-Apocalyptic Warlord!

"Huh? I've Really Become a Post-Apocalyptic Warlord!"

It was already noon, and Yi Bai's talent reward had triggered.

He furrowed his brow slightly, quickly contemplating his decision.

"My talent is powerful, but it has a clear drawback—I can't activate it at will. It only triggers at specific times every day."

"If any unforeseen danger arises during that window, I won't have time to enhance my talent's effect."

"Right now, I don't have enough electronic components to upgrade to a level 4 shelter. Plus, I have no idea what the upgraded talent effect will be."

"If I save this chance... it might not be of much use later, right?"

Yi Bai carefully weighed his options. He reasoned that once his shelter reached level 4 or 5, his talent would be strong enough on its own.

"If the talent isn't strong enough even at level 4 or 5, then saving this enhancement for later wouldn't change much either."

After further reflection, he muttered to himself, "I'll use it. I can't die with resources left over."

"Only by spending these points can I truly grow stronger. The earlier I get stronger, the more I can snowball!"

[You have used a special consumable! Your current talent effect is enhanced by 6 times!]

[Congratulations! You have triggered the talent reward and received an "A-Class Tech Armed Task Force - 1,000 soldiers"!]

"Ah, another grand prize! A military reward!" Yi Bai exclaimed in surprise. "This is even more than the last 500-man unit! Is this the subtle change after upgrading my talent?"

Military rewards were, apart from talent rewards, the ones that excited Yi Bai the most. They directly boosted his shelter's combat power, making his strength more apparent.

Before he could finish his sentence, more prompts flashed across the screen.

[Congratulations! You have triggered the double talent reward effect! You have received another "A-Class Tech Armed Task Force - 1,000 soldiers"!]

[Due to the use of "Bloodline's Protection", your reward effect is enhanced by 6 times! You have received "S-Class Tech Armed Task Force - 10,000 soldiers" x2!]

"Whoa!" Yi Bai's eyes went wide, and he gasped in disbelief.

"My luck is off the charts!"

"Not only did I get the grand prize, but I also got the double reward effect! And then the 6x enhancement!"

Yi Bai could hardly believe the information before him. Although he hadn't received the top-tier 10x talent enhancement, the 6x boost was enough to leave him stunned.

"Damn, S-Class army scale! A 10,000-man army... and I got two of them!"

"So this is the 6x reward mechanism? Instead of getting six 1,000-man battalions, it's doubling the quality and giving me two 10,000-man armies!"

Yi Bai was overjoyed but couldn't help feeling a slight regret, thinking to himself, If this is how strong the 6x enhancement is, how powerful would the 10x effect be?

"Would that mean an army of 100,000?"

He quickly shook off the thought, reminding himself not to be too greedy.

"I shouldn't think like this. What's wrong with not having a 100,000-man army? I just got 20,000 soldiers!"

"Back in the first apocalypse, I only had 500 soldiers, and now, in the second apocalypse, I already have a modern army of over 20,000! What else do I need?"

"Aside from natural disasters, who can stand against me?"

Yi Bai murmured to himself, realizing he had already left the other survivors far behind. While they were still struggling, he felt like he was truly playing the "game" of the apocalypse now.

"Let's take a look at the army's composition and setup."

Yi Bai quickly opened the shelter's data interface to check.

The A-Class Tech Armed Task Force—1,000-man unit—was equipped similarly to the 500-man army he'd received earlier. There were more combat personnel, but the basic firepower was roughly the same. However, the S-Class Tech Armed Task Force—10,000-man unit—was an entirely different story. It was a qualitative leap.

[S-Class Tech Armed Task Force]

Command Configuration: Legion Commander, Vice Commanders (multiple), Chief of Staff, and a large staff.

Mostly C and B-class personnel, with a few A-class talents, including at least one S-class talent.

When fighting human enemies, this talent greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of soldiers.Tech Combat Expert: Specializes in repairing and constructing most tech-based weaponry, capable of researching and deploying new types of military equipment.Fearless Vanguard: Has extremely high self-healing and damage reduction capabilities, able to fight in extreme environments.Desperation Battle Will: In desperate situations, the more dire the circumstance, the stronger each soldier's combat capabilities become.

Yi Bai stared at the information in a daze. After a long silence, he slowly muttered one word:

"Damn..."

"I've really become a post-apocalyptic warlord!"

Yi Bai was completely stunned.

At first, he had only wanted to use the special reward early to become a little stronger.

That had been his simple and pure intention.

But the harsh reality showed him something far more shocking: Want to get a bit stronger? Nope! You can't just stop at a little strength.

Now he had two armies of 10,000 soldiers, complete with drones, tanks, rocket artillery, and armed helicopters!

And on top of that, there was an S-class talent among them!

"This is insane! I've struck it big!"

Yi Bai took a deep breath. This was far better than recruiting a single S-class talent. He had an entire army!

Within this 20,000-strong army, every soldier was guaranteed to be at least somewhat specialized in military affairs, working in seamless coordination as a true legion—far more valuable than any individual talent.

But quickly, Yi Bai's exhilaration turned into a realization of a fatal flaw.
