The shelter has been calm these past few days, But outside, it's anything but calm.
With communications cut off, mobs have started their rampant activities, During the days Sam went out, he already saw bodies appearing by the roadside from time to time, possibly those of survivors, or perhaps of the mobs.
He left the shelter to go to the garage, also to upgrade the vehicle!
Inside the garage, The RV is still good to go, Even though it looks battered and several windows are shattered.
In reality, The RV has been modified and is very stable for travel.
"Open the attribute panel!"
Sam stands in front of the garage.
...
[Simple Garage]
Space: 180 square meters.
Function: Manual repair, slight protection, enclosed system.
Upgradeable!
Branches: High-grade steel material (500), automatic repair mechanical arm (1500), space enhancement (100/square meter), mechanical modification technology (500), mechanical upgrade technology (500).
Introduction: Charge!
...
"So expensive?"
Sam's face twitches, somewhat surprised.
"The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System, can you give a cheaper direction, what is this about?"
The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System: "Sorry, host, the garage and RV require a substantial amount of materials to materialize, and the technology exceeds the range the host can provide, so the price is a bit high!"
"If the host can provide basic building materials, various tools, the points will be significantly reduced! If the host's shelter technology improves, the points will further decrease!"
Hearing this, Sam also understands.
However, Building materials are not easy to come by, With all countries building shelters, the market has been swept clean of all usable materials, As for steel and concrete, official shelters do indeed have plenty...
If possible, he could also go and make some trades.
The national attitude towards individual shelters is decent, supporting personal shelters, collective shelters, and official shelters to trade with each other.
Of course, unless it's trading with an official shelter, the safety of other transactions must be ensured by oneself.
"Let's delay the garage upgrade for now, change the upgrade direction; I want to upgrade the RV inside,"
Sam spoke.
After the last battle, the RV looked a bit worse for wear, and its functionality was indeed lacking, neither its weapons nor its defenses could satisfy Sam.
Immediately, the attribute panel in front of him changed.
...
[Simple Garage]
Parking space: White RV.
Upgradable!
Upgrade direction: Armored battle vehicle.
Branches: Alloyed steel mobile body (200), bulletproof glass (100), ultra-wear-resistant tires (20/per), Roarer power furnace (500), basic intelligence system (100).
Introduction: It can transform into a beast!
...
"Not bad!"
Sam's eyes lit up, this upgrade direction, besides weapons, almost everything else was to Sam's liking.
Moreover, whether it's the body, glass, tires, power furnace, or system, there were ready-made raw materials, which could save a lot of points!
"Let's move the materials over first!"
Sam stroked his chin and began to transport materials back and forth.
During the process, Han Xiaowu also saw him busy and volunteered to help.
The two spent about half an hour, placing various metals, rubber, and other raw materials on the ground, along with some vehicle-mounted tools.
Subsequently, Sam secured the system code he had written and, after letting Han Xiaowu leave, locked the main gate!
"The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System, let's see how many points have been saved!"
The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System: "Calculating... Calculation complete!"
...
Stainless steel active body (80), bulletproof glass (30), ultra-wear-resistant tires (5 per tire), Roarer power furnace (250), basic intelligence system (50).
...
"Not bad at all!"
Sam's eyes lit up as he did the math, He had enough materials left to make 8 tires, exactly what was needed for the war chariot's refitting,
In total, 450 points were needed!
And he, with the points accumulated over the past few days plus what he already had, had a total of "237" points.
Not far from 450, at Sam's current pace, he could upgrade in at most a week.
"Not bad at all!"
Sam nodded slightly, locked the garage door, and prepared to return to the shelter.
The weather outside was becoming increasingly eerie, The temperature dropped a little every day, very steadily.
By now, even Sam didn't like staying outside for long.
...
Across the street from Sam's shelter, On top of a small flat building!
A few people bundled up in thick clothes gathered together, watching Sam's side with binoculars!
"How is it?"
Their eyes flickered, One of them spoke, his voice tinged with a hint of sharpness.
"We've observed for a while, and if nothing goes wrong, this should be a personal shelter, and it's very well-equipped!"
An elderly man, who appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, spoke with a grim face: "We've observed 2 people, but we don't know how many are inside the shelter."
"Two people should be enough. We've been scavenging our way to this city, it's time to settle down!"
"This shelter is good! I want it!"
A muscular man spoke up, his voice cold.
