nHint: As the first player in this world to complete a super-large shelter, you have obtained a random B-class skill book*1 reward.

n

nHint: You have obtained a skill book: animal instinct-danger perception (soul binding).

n

n“Eh? There’s such a good thing? I’ve never heard of it before.”

n

nFang Heng muttered to himself.

n

nThere was a skill book in his backpack.

n

nItem: Animal instinct-danger perception (soul binding).

n

nType: Skill book (player has not mastered this skill).

n

nDescription: Skill that can be mastered after learning: animal instinct-danger perception, player’s basic perception attribute 10, it is easier for the player to detect the impending danger.

n

nDescription: Soul binding, not tradable.

n

n“Good stuff! I got basic attribute 10 points just like that!”

n

nFang Heng tapped the skill book on his head and a faint light lit up.

n

nHint: Player’s learning skill: animal instinct-danger perception (Level: Max).

n

nHint: Under the influence of the skill, your basic perception attribute 10.

n

n“Eh?”

n

nAfter learning the skill, Fang Heng immediately noticed the change.

n

nIt was an indescribable feeling.

n

nHe felt that the world seemed to have become clearer.

n

nHe could see clearer than before, and he could hear further.

n

nPerhaps this was the effect of the perception ability.

n

n“In actual combat, I should be able to aim more accurately using the gun than before, right?”

n

nFang Heng shrugged, quickly getting used to this change.

n

nAccording to the plan, Fang Heng would only temporarily use the shelter as a storage point. He, Liao Bufan, Liu Lin and the others would stay in the prison’s Building No. 3 for now.

n

nAfter all, the basement was a bit far from the ground, and running up and down was troublesome.

n

n“It’s finally done!”

n

nStep by step, he had reached this day. Looking at the newly built shelter, Fang Heng still had a great sense of achievement.

n

n“Building the shelter is only the first step.”

n

nFang Heng whispered.

n

nHe had a foothold in the game now.

n

nHe was still far from a real foothold!

n

nFang Heng cheered up.

n

nNext, it was time to think about recruiting.

n

nFang Heng walked to the corner of the shelter and opened the construction page.

n

nItem: Large survival radio station.

n

nDescription: There are still a lot of survivors in the apocalypse. You can try to summon them through the survival radio station.

n

nConstruction requirement 1: Player has a small or higher level shelter.

n

nConstruction requirement 2: Player’s basic production level must be Level 3 or above.

n

nFang Heng spent ten minutes completing a large survival radio station and placed it in the corner of the shelter.

n

nThe survivors in the description referred to ordinary NPCs.

n

nAs the owner of the shelter, Fang Heng could recruit NPCs through the survival radio station to work for the shelter.

n

nOrdinary NPCs only had the most common skills, such as felling, manufacturing and so on. They did not have the same talent as players.

n

nTheir basic attributes were no different from rookie players’ Level 1. Moreover, their learning ability was low and the efficiency of upgrading skills was extremely slow.

n

nThey also had a limit to their energy points. They needed rest, food and clean houses to live in…

n

nOnce these things were lacking, their sense of belonging would be reduced.

n

nOnce it was reduced to a certain limit, the survivor NPCs would choose to leave the shelter voluntarily, which would affect the popularity of the shelter.

n

nFang Heng felt that when these ordinary NPCs worked, they would be attacked by the zombies and split into pieces.

n

nAs long as Fang Heng dared to let them go out and search for materials, they would die in the wild!

n

n100% mortality rate!

n

nAlthough these survivors had great limitations, they also had advantages.

n

nThey had much higher intelligence and loyalty than the zombie clones.

n

nFang Heng was sure of one thing.

n

nPlayers would betray them.

n

nBut the NPCs that were controlled by the system would never betray them.

n

nIn the game, there were more than one or two incidents where a large guild exposed a certain player’s betrayal.

n

nLarge-scale incidents such as Mission: Impossible, Honey Trap, Black-and-White and Infernal Affairs happened almost once or twice a year. Even the federal government intervened.

n

nIt was common for some large companies to be betrayed and go bankrupt.

n

nAll kinds of events would cause a stir among the players and become the gossip of the public.

n

nThere were too many scandals!

n

nFang Heng had made plans for his future.

n

nHe would use NPCs to act as guards of the shelter to eliminate internal threats.

n

nFang Heng walked to the radio station and turned on the survival radio to enquire.

n

nShelter owner: Fang Heng.

n

nShelter level: Super-large.

n

nShelter attractiveness: 29 (this value is related to shelter size, resources, military strength, cleanliness and the satisfaction of the people in the shelter).

n

nThe current number of survivors available for recruitment: 3 (every 3 days, 3 survivors will be available for recruitment; the current maximum number of survivors stored: 29).

n

nDescription: The more attractive a shelter is, the easier it is to attract survivors to seek refuge. Once a survivor leaves the shelter, the number will decrease slightly for some time.

n

nThis was Fang Heng’s first time coming into contact with the game recruitment system.

n

nIn his memory, in the previous server, he had only built a small single-person shelter, so he was unable to recruit survivors.

n

nThe more troublesome thing was that NPC survivors were also counted by ‘heads’.

n

nWith one more NPC survivor, the shelter’s capacity would be 1.

n

nWhat was worse was that the newly recruited survivors were all hungry.

n

nIn the early stages, normal players really could not afford to feed them.

n

nFang Heng waved his hand and recruited all three survivor NPCs through the radio station.

n

nAnyway, he had the zombie clones now, so the shelter had plenty of materials, so it was not a problem to provide food for these refugees.

n

nBecause of the existence of the zombie clones, they did not need so many ordinary NPC survivors. They only needed a few people to maintain the cleanliness and daily operations of the shelter.

n

nAt most, they could wait until the shelter was expanded before continuing to recruit more.

n

nAfter the recruitment was completed, they could do all the chores and transportation in the prison.

n

nThey were much smarter than the zombie clones and they worked very hard.

n

nSoon, three refugees appeared at the entrance of the prison.

n

nFang Heng brought them back to Building No. 3 of the prison and gave them enough food.

n

n“Thank you so much. The zombies outside are too scary. I haven’t eaten for days! I will repay you!”

n

n“Thank you, Fang Heng. Thank you so much for letting us stay in the shelter. We will do our best.”

n

nA blonde female survivor was very grateful and thanked Fang Heng.

n

n“I have plenty of food here, but this is not for free. You need to work for the shelter in exchange for protection.”

n

nFang Heng pointed to the hall on the first floor.

n

n“I need you to be responsible for cleaning up and sorting out the materials.”

n

n“Clean up a few rooms as soon as possible. You can each choose a room to live in.”

n

n“Okay, we will do it as soon as possible.”
