The world is dying—storms rage, the ground cracks, and civilization is in ruins. Survival is uncertain, but Dr. James isn’t just another desperate survivor. He has a Technology System—one that grants him blueprints, tools, and knowledge far beyond human understanding.

Stranded on an island, he builds in secret while the world tears itself apart. Rival survivors fight for power, governments scramble for control, but James?

He’s preparing for something they’d never expect.

Because survival isn’t his true goal.

And when the time comes, the world will realize too late—he was never meant to stay.

The moment Sam mentioned the Black Ravagers, the atmosphere in the bunker shifted. Tension thickened like a storm cloud, and every survivor in the room knew what this meant. This wasn't just about rationing food or surviving the cold anymore—this was a fight for our lives.

I turned to Ray. "We need a plan. Now."

He nodded, already shifting into a tactical mindset. "First, we need intel. If these raiders are coming, we need to know how they move, how they fight, and what weapons they have."

"Sam," I said, "how do they operate? Scouting parties? Full assaults?"

Sam rubbed his arms, still thawing from the cold. "They send scouts first. Usually two or three, to check for weaknesses. Once they know a place is worth attacking, they hit hard and fast."

I exchanged a look with Ray. "That means we have time—but not much."

New Sub-Task Generated: Set Up Early Warning Systems

Objective: Establish perimeter alerts to detect incoming scouts.

Reward: Thermal Imaging Upgrade for Drones

I pulled out a rough map of the area, spreading it across the nearest table. "We'll need tripwires, noise traps, anything that can alert us before they reach the bunker."

Ray nodded. "I'll take a team to set those up. But defenses alone won't cut it. We need to be ready to hit back."

"I have something that might help," I said. "I blueprints for a tactical auto-turret. If I can get it built in time, it'll give us an edge."

Lily, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke. "Are they really that bad?" Her voice was small, uncertain.

I crouched down beside her, meeting her eyes. "They are. But we're not going to let them hurt anyone, okay?"

She nodded, gripping my sleeve. I squeezed her hand before standing.

"Daniel," I said, "help me gather parts. We're building that turret."

"On it." He moved quickly, grabbing tools while I activated the system blueprint.

The bunker hummed with renewed energy. Ray and his team left to set up defenses. The others gathered supplies, reinforced walls, and prepared weapons.

This wasn't just about survival anymore.

This was about standing our ground.

The fight is coming. How should James position his defenses? What traps would you set? Let me know your ideas!
