Chapter 186: A Month of Growth (02)
The base had changed a lot. New buildings were constructed. The defensive walls were stronger. She even brought energy towers and automatic defense systems from the mall and installed them.
One night, while everyone was asleep, Liora quietly activated a new item from the lottery she was rewarded and she actually got a mill on the lucky draw. It was a milling machine that could process wheat into flour. She secretly set up the machine during the night to avoid drawing attention. By morning, it was fully running, and basically just like the canteen and other things, the residents thought their mysterious boss had prepared it for them.
When many new things started building day by day, people also grew curious and decided to stay awake to find just how such buildings could appear like that from nowhere. But surprisingly, they always fell asleep even though they did not want to, and the next day, just like before, a new building was created.
The wheat they had gathered from the forest was processed into flour, allowing them to bake buns, dumplings, and make new kinds of food. Everyone in the base was happy. The food variety increased, and the mood in the base grew lighter.
In that one month, nearly 200 more survivors had arrived at her base. The population rose to nearly 400 people. With the growing population, more missions became available. Liora completed several high-level missions that earned her rare rewards and important items.
Her convenience store system also upgraded. She opened two new product slots. The first was compressed biscuits, which were high in nutrition and easy to store. The second was energy chocolate bars, which could quickly restore stamina.
On top of that, she had completed a side mission that rewarded her with a rare upgrade core. After using it, the convenience store was also upgraded to level 2 and the production speed increased greatly. Now, it could produce goods 300 per week faster every week.
The base was thriving. The people trusted her more. The defense was strong. Food was stable. Supplies were constantly increasing.
With the base growing stronger each day, Liora knew it was time to build new facilities. They had enough people now. More residents meant more needs. Food, medicine, and proper care were becoming more important than ever.
