This skill is too overpowered; there must be some limitations.
Waldo asked, "Alanna, how many times can you use this skill in a day?" Alanna raised three fingers. Three times. Even though it could only be used three times a day, Waldo was still impressed by this skill.
Alanna reached level ten and acquired the "Heal" skill, which was undoubtedly a valuable asset for their team. The current situation in the post-apocalyptic world was not favorable.
Despite having sufficient supplies, they still needed professional medical resources for injuries and illnesses. However, with this skill, the immediate need for medical supplies became less urgent.
But the question of the extent to which Alanna's "Heal" skill could heal the wounded remained unanswered. It was something Alanna hadn't figured out yet.
Therefore, Waldo had to let it go. The effectiveness of the "Heal" skill would have to be continuously explored and tested in the future.
Now, what mattered more was that they had killed the mutated zombie, and a golden-level supply crate emitting a golden light lay before them.
Waldo opened the golden-level supply crate. Inside, there were two rare items and some miscellaneous common supplies:
- Laser Defense Device
- Automated Gatling Machine Gun
- 100 bottles of mineral water
- 2 pounds of spare ribs
This golden-level supply crate could be considered very generous. After all, the villa was Waldo's stronghold, with an underground fortress designed to withstand meteor showers. Having a powerful automated defense system was essential.
Waldo retrieved all the supplies and felt a sense of clarity and freshness. Gathering two items that could be used for the automated defense system made this trip worthwhile. Alanna and Helen were equally delighted.
The current automated defense system in the villa was already outdated. Simple crossbows and matchlock-style firearms couldn't withstand the assault from other surviving groups.
Alanna exclaimed with joy, "Fantastic! It's about time we upgraded our automated defense system. We've been at a loss and helpless for a while now."
Helen breathed a sigh of relief. "Exactly. Recently, the other survivors in the villa area have been keeping an eye on us. I reckon they won't be able to hold back much longer. Times have changed, and it's no longer surprising for survivors to have firearms. Crossbows and most cold weapons, even Molotov cocktails, are gradually being phased out. They're being replaced by powerful firearms and more deadly long-range grenades or explosives."
Waldo smiled and said, "Now we can relax. If anyone tries to cause trouble, we'll make sure they never return!"
"Let's go. Let's head home." The three of them got into the car and set off on their journey back.
Not long after they arrived at the refuge in the villa area, a system announcement was made.
[Attention, survivors. This world will soon experience a meteor shower in half a month. It will result in massive radiation and energy impacts on the ground. The only way to escape the meteor shower is by constructing underground fortresses.]
[The system will gradually distribute underground fortress blueprints to survivor mailboxes today. Please check your mail. We hope all survivors can build their underground fortresses in time to seek survival!]
An announcement was made by the system regarding the upcoming meteor shower.
It had been a week since Helen observed the meteor shower.
Waldo and his group had already built their underground fortress well in advance.
However, the system's announcement came a few days earlier than Helen's predicted time.
This was not good news.
Other survivors were not aware of this in advance.
So, after receiving the system announcement, they were left stunned for a while, unable to process the information.
In the chat channel, many people were already anxious and fearful.
They had been tormented by zombies and now faced a natural disaster, the terrifying meteor shower.
After all, that's how the prehistoric dinosaurs went extinct.
It was natural for people to feel worried and scared.
Survivor 948524: A meteor shower? That's a relief! I'm done playing this game. Whoever wants to continue can go ahead! Hehe, let's enjoy the last moments of life.
Survivor 435324: Remember when someone speculated a while ago about whether there would be natural disasters? I really want to say you're a genius! Damn it, this time it's a meteor shower. Next time, it'll probably be an earthquake or a tsunami! Hey, surviving is so damn miserable, running around every day without a sense of normalcy!
Survivor 352534: Is the meteor shower small-scale or large-scale? How long do we have to hide in the underground fortress? And we don't have enough supplies.
Survivor 575673: It's truly despair-inducing.
Survivor 756543: Never mind that. Have you received the blueprints for the underground fortress?
Survivor 548560: Not yet. What's the matter?
Survivor 967864: Hehe, the construction requirement for the underground fortress is S-alloy.
The survivors discussed in the chat channel how to survive the cataclysmic meteor shower. Some of them began receiving blueprints for the underground fortress and started to understand the significance of the sudden appearance of S-alloy.
Survivor 564533: What? Say that again? The underground fortress is made of what?
Survivor 345235: I've also received the blueprints for the underground fortress, and it's indeed made of S-alloy! It requires 20 pieces of S-alloy, and there are possibilities for upgrades in the future!
Damn it, I had sold all of them before.
Survivor 764322: Curse it, it's all because of the nonsense from survivors 10000 and 10010. Now 10086 has practically bought up all the S-alloy.
Survivor 645452: Holy crap, the price of S-alloy is about to skyrocket. Looks like 10086 is going to make a killing!
Waldo was also very efficient and quickly listed a considerable amount of S-alloy for sale.
He had accumulated a good amount before.
The small amounts listed on the trading platform were no match for the prices he set.
If anyone tried to undercut his price, Waldo and his group, who were constantly monitoring the platform, would immediately buy them out.
Then they would adjust the price and relist them on the trading platform.
Of course, some people managed to find bargains.
But gradually, only Waldo's large batch of S-alloy remained, listed as the first item on the first page.
And the selling price was double the average price he had acquired them for!
