After Xu Zhengyang transferred the control of the agricultural robot to Da Bai, he opened his task list to check his latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Expansion III (In Progress)]
[Your shelter has become increasingly refined, but the idle space in the shelter is also becoming more and more strained, making it difficult to meet your growing demands.
You need to expand your shelter once again!]
[Task Objective: Maintain current building standards and expand the total usable area of your shelter to ten thousand square meters (with a height of no less than five meters)]
[Task Reward: Shelter Plugin · Electromagnetic Shield]
After seeing the task details, Xu Zhengyang looked at the latest Electromagnetic Shield Shelter Plugin with great anticipation.
The last time he completed the Expansion II main quest, the reward, the Shelter Plugin: Four-Dimensional Cube, was already extraordinary.
Xu Zhengyang was eager to see what surprises this Electromagnetic Shield would bring him! However, he soon furrowed his brows, "My shelter is already three thousand square meters. Expanding by another seven thousand square meters will require a significant amount of materials!"
That said, the work still had to be done. So, Xu Zhengyang said to Da Bai, "Da Bai, I need to expand the shelter to ten thousand square meters. Help me create a design plan for the shelter!"
"Understood, Master."
As soon as Da Bai finished speaking, a holographic projection appeared in front of Xu Zhengyang, displaying a three-dimensional structural diagram of his current shelter.
Thanks to Xu Zhengyang just acquiring the skill [Hyperdimensional Vision], he had recorded all the information visible around the shelter into Da Bai's database.
Because of this, he had complete information about the surrounding area: where the coal mines were, where the clay was, where the sand was, where the stones were, and what types of stones they were, etc.
With this kind of map-like advantage, Da Bai completed the expansion design plan on the existing three-dimensional projection in just two seconds!
While Da Bai detailed the construction plan to Xu Zhengyang, he said, "Master, given sufficient materials, with the construction speed of our three Engineering Robots, this project will only take 23 days to complete!
As long as we reserve space underground in advance, we can use the Four-Dimensional Cube to optimize the shelter's structure after the construction is completed, enhancing the overall strength of the shelter!"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Xu Zhengyang nodded in response, "Then let them put aside what they're doing and start digging the earth."
As he spoke, Xu Zhengyang handed the Dimensional Space Pocket to Da Bai and then took out his phone to call Chen Yong: "Uncle Chen, I need some building materials."
...
"Uh, even more than last time..."
...
"Okay, I'll send you the list on WeChat."
...
"Alright, I'll wait for you at home."
...
*Chen Yong's speed was as fast as ever. Just two hours after Xu Zhengyang made the call, the first batch of cement and steel bars had already arrived near the shelter.
When Chen Yong came to deliver the goods, he looked at Xu Zhengyang with a sense of wonder, "So many building materials! I really can't imagine what your shelter is like..."
"It's just like that," Xu Zhengyang replied casually.
"The New Year is coming soon!" Chen Yong remarked, "The world is getting tighter; I wonder how many more peaceful years I have left in this old body..."
"Don't worry, Uncle Chen, at least twenty more!" Xu Zhengyang reassured him.
"Hahaha, with your good wishes, I'll strive to live another twenty years!" Chen Yong laughed heartily.
...
Xu Zhengyang needed a large quantity of building materials this time.
So it took a total of three days for all the materials he ordered to be delivered to the lumberyard.
With all the materials in place, while Xu Zhengyang's Engineering Robots were working hard to expand the shelter, he finally completed the construction task for the martial arts arena after days of training:
[You have been training in the martial arts arena for 30 days, reward: Skill · Melee Mastery]
...
As the task prompt appeared, Xu Zhengyang felt a surge of warmth flooding into his mind.
At first, Xu Zhengyang thought nothing of it.
But as he gradually absorbed all the knowledge of the Melee Mastery skill, he discovered that his body coordination was now extraordinary! Any action a human could perform, Xu Zhengyang could now easily accomplish!
Because of this, when Xu Zhengyang saw a platform about 1.56 meters high, he thought not of going around it, but of pushing off with his hands and flipping over it; when he saw stairs, he thought not of walking down but of sliding down the railing; even when drinking a beverage, he had to spin the can in his hand a few times before downing it in one go, and finally, accurately tossing the empty can into the trash can.
...
Now, with his physical fitness and meticulous control over his body, Xu Zhengyang was practically Uncle Long Plus Pro Max!
"With my current self plus the Combat Suit, there's no place in this world I can't go!"
As soon as Xu Zhengyang finished speaking, Da Bai's voice came from the speaker of Xu Zhengyang's phone, urgently saying, "Master, Master, quickly look at your phone!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang quickly took out his phone.
Da Bai had sent Xu Zhengyang a video, and upon opening it, he was shocked to see street surveillance footage from the High-tech Zone of Bai City! There were five or six zombies, about 1.7 meters tall, with blood-red skin and glowing red eyes, rampaging through the streets, slaughtering civilians!
At that moment, a system subtitle appeared before Xu Zhengyang: [Emergency Time-limited Task: Blood Plague Sample (In Progress)]
[Task Objective: Collect Blood Plague Samples (0/3)]
[Task Time Limit: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 56 seconds]
After seeing the system subtitle, Xu Zhengyang nodded thoughtfully, "It seems the signs of a biohazard crisis are emerging.
It is already January 11, 2025, and there are only nine months left until the biohazard crisis, as mentioned by the system, fully erupts!
With the organizational capabilities and firepower of modern armies, even if an entire city turns into zombies, it wouldn't shake the existing social order.
If the biohazard crisis were to reach an apocalyptic level, it would likely require seventy to eighty percent of the global population to be infected, right?"
As Xu Zhengyang spoke, he changed into his flying Combat Suit and headed towards the High-tech Zone of Bai City.
In any case, he needed to collect the Blood Plague samples first and obtain the reward of the Blood Plague Serum.
Although his physical attribute had awakened the skill [Super Immunity], it was still safer to keep a supply of Blood Plague Serum in the shelter just in case.
