Global Shelter Game

The system notification popped up again.

[Target shelter fully repaired]

[Target successfully occupied]

[Click the icon to view the shelter’s status]

[This shelter is currently idle. A bionic or a normal human must be assigned to manage it.]

Ye Yun immediately clicked on [Second Shelter].

The next moment, the specific information for the second shelter popped up before him.

Shelter: Unnamed

Used Space: 7

[Water Purification Station (White)]

[Power Supply Room (White)]

[Maintenance Room (White)]

[Dormitory (Green)]

[Shelter Entrance (White)]

[Science Lab (White)]

[Warehouse (White)]

Unused Space: 2

Food Reserves: 26/100

Fresh Water Reserves: 26/100

Power Reserves: 80/100

Medicine: 2/100

Construction Robots: 2

Bionics: 2/3

Advanced Bionics: 0/1

Normal Humans: 0/3

Shelter Members: 0/4

Manager: None

Seeing the state of this shelter, Ye Yun’s eyes lit up.

He had originally thought that after conquering the shelter, it would revert to its initial state, and he would have to start upgrading and developing it all over again.

However, it was now clear that his guess was wrong.

From the unused space and the already upgraded Green-tier dormitory, he knew that the shelter’s previous development progress would be preserved.

This meant that the rewards from occupying a high-level shelter were far greater than those from a low-level one.

After all, upgrading buildings and expanding space required a vast amount of resources and time.

And the previous manager had already saved Ye Yun all of that.

Ye Yun stroked his chin, considering who to send over as the new shelter’s manager.

He immediately ruled out Bena and Zhou Mei.

Those two were currently some of the strongest combatants in the exploration team.

Making either of them a manager was clearly not the best use of their skills.

After just a moment’s thought, Ye Yun made his decision.

First, he renamed the new shelter.

[Unnamed Shelter has been renamed to Branch Base No. 2]

[You have assigned ’No. 1’ as the manager of the ’Unnamed Shelter’]

[You can fully delegate the shelter’s management to No. 1, or you can control it remotely]

Seeing this prompt, Ye Yun didn’t hesitate. He had no intention of fully delegating its management.

Although No. 1 had been upgraded, its current intelligence level was only average.

It had no trouble executing direct orders, but getting it to show initiative would be difficult.

He also noticed a data point that surprised him.

Bionics: 2/2.

If he recalled correctly from No. 1’s earlier report, all the shelter’s members, aside from the manager, were supposed to have been out.

The three normal humans from the wasteland were killed directly, and the remaining two bionics were captured by Bena.

’Logically, there shouldn’t be any bionics left in the shelter, right?’

The next moment, a thought popped into his head.

’Could it be that after the original manager dies, ownership of the shelter’s bionics automatically transfers?’

Ye Yun thought this was highly likely.

If the manager dies, then ownership of the shelter, including all its facilities and personnel, automatically transfers to the conqueror.

This meant that as long as he conquered a shelter, he would immediately gain all the resources and personnel within it.

This was definitely an unexpected, pleasant surprise for him.

If Bena and the others hadn’t attacked the exploration team first, but had instead waited for them to leave and then quietly launched a surprise attack to take out Inoshita Yoshihiko, he would have gained not just two bionics, but two bionics *and* three wasteland residents.

Unfortunately, it was a bit too late for regrets now.

But if this was truly the case, he would have to seriously consider using a decapitation strike tactic when planning to conquer new shelters in the future.

Directly taking out the shelter’s manager and then happily claiming their entire shelter and all its members would probably save a great deal of time.

Ye Yun was about to open his wristband to ask about the two bionics’ situation.

But looking at the manager section, which now displayed "No. 1," gave him another idea.

’Since different managers can contact each other through the system, now that No. 1 is a manager, can it use the system to contact others?’

The communication wristband was certainly useful, but it also had significant limitations.

Once the distance became too great, the lag would be very high. A round-trip message at maximum range could take nearly half an hour.

If both sides could communicate directly through the system’s chat room, it would be much more convenient.

Ye Yun immediately opened the chat window, and a look of delight appeared on his face.

Because at the very top of his friends list, the profile picture for No. 1 had appeared.

...

「Inside Branch Base No. 2.」

No. 1 wasn’t surprised by the chat window that appeared before it.

Now with a direct line of communication, No. 1 immediately reported the current situation inside Branch Base No. 2.

[Lord Manager, after we completed the occupation, the two bionics we captured also surrendered to us.]

...

After listening to No. 1’s report, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction.

He did have some bionic wreckage on hand, but repairing it would cost resources. Of course he was happy to get two bionics for free.

But after his moment of happiness, Ye Yun immediately issued a new order: Bena, Zhou Mei, No. 2, No. 3, and one of the newly captured bionics were to return from Branch Base No. 2 to the main shelter at once.

He didn’t want to conquer a new shelter only to have his own home base raided.

After arranging for the five to return, Ye Yun began considering his plans for Branch Base No. 2.

Branch Base No. 2 was different from his main shelter.

Some facilities didn’t need to be upgraded for the time being, the most obvious ones being the [Water Purification Station (White)] and the [Power Supply Room (White)].

After all, there wasn’t a single normal person there right now. Even if he upgraded them, they would just sit there gathering dust. It was completely unnecessary to waste resources.

Ye Yun immediately transferred the wreckage of one construction robot to Branch Base No. 2 for repairs.

Once the wreckage was repaired, Branch Base No. 2 finally had three construction robots.

At the same time, while arranging the repairs, he had the remaining construction robot begin upgrading the Shelter Entrance.

After all, once Bena and the other four left, the defensive capabilities of Branch Base No. 2 would be at an all-time low.

Although No. 1 was upgraded, its attributes were all only 4 points. Even equipped with a full set of Green-tier gear, its combat power wasn’t very strong.

The other bionic hadn’t been upgraded, so its combat power was even weaker.
