Lu Tian stares at the walls of his new sanctuary, confusion and disbelief clouding his thoughts. The city outside is in ruins, and yet, he is in an oasis of safety. As he inspects the building, he notices several drones buzzing around, scanning the area, and an automated system that's already supplying fresh food.
"This... this isn't real," Lu Tian mutters, shaking his head in disbelief.
He tries to leave again, but the exit door—the one that leads to the outside world—won't budge. Panicking, he punches the door, but his fists meet an impenetrable surface. The shelter itself seems to hum with a quiet power, and an interface appears before him, glowing faintly in the air.
The message reads:
"Safe Shelter Mode: Active. Exit Unavailable. Emergency Protocols Engaged."
His heart races. Lu Tian's panic builds, but he takes a deep breath and forces himself to calm down. "I'm safe... for now. But this is far from over."
Exploring the Shelter, Lu Tian quickly realizes that it has more to offer than just protection. Advanced AI assistants appear, offering guidance, and a multidimensional storage system materializes, allowing him to store and retrieve anything from the outside world.
In a panic-induced moment of desperation, Lu Tian reaches out to the interface, and a "Shelter Upgrade System" activates, offering him the option to "level up" the shelter's capabilities. He realizes this might be his key to survival—or perhaps a way to regain control of his fate.
"Upgrade…? How does this even work?" he mutters as he hesitates, but then selects the "Basic Upgrade" option.
The Shelter shudders, and a new layer of protection and resources appears, along with automated drones for defense. But still, the reality of his situation looms: He is safe, but alone.
The first night in the Shelter feels both like a miracle and a curse. As Lu Tian contemplates his new existence, the world outside continues to spiral into chaos. He is trapped, but for now, the Shelter is his sanctuary—a prison, but also a blessing.
