Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

Beyond the underground cavern, beside the ruins of the iron gate.

Lin Xuanzhi stood in panic at the entrance of the passageway, witnessing the entire thrilling battle and reversal.

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, her hands covered her lips tightly, her body stiffened, and her face was filled with disbelief.

He withstood the giant beast's fierce attack with his bare hands, forcing the beast back and even imprisoning it between the rock walls.

A mixture of reverence, awe, and shock overwhelmed her, leaving her completely incoherent.

But when her gaze fell on the source crystals that had been almost completely looted from the cave, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she felt a mix of emotions.

That was the last reserves and hope of the night watch camp, and now it has all changed hands.

Just then, Su Yuyang slowly walked towards the collapsed iron gate.

As he moved, the safe zone that had expanded to 300 meters also shifted, and the squeezing force on the rock wall grew stronger and stronger. The skeletal behemoth was gradually squeezed into the depths of the mountain, completely losing its ability to resist.

Su Yuyang walked up to Lin Xuanzhi, looked at her shocked and stunned expression, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and his tone was calm and indifferent.

"I am very satisfied with the source crystals you provided as compensation."

The consumption of a large amount of source crystals became a key factor in the system's upgrade, and also greatly extended its lifespan.

This trip to the night watch camp was far more rewarding than I had imagined.

In his previous two treks through the wasteland, risking his life to collect only a handful of Blood Energy Crystals. But this underground treasure trove transformed him completely.

A bold idea quietly took root in his heart: to build his own shelter in this wasteland.

In this way, he could employ natives to continuously collect source crystals, gold, and various resources, thus establishing himself firmly in the wasteland.

Looking into his deep eyes, Lin Xuanzhi felt a sudden tightness in her heart and instinctively took several steps back. If she hadn't been wary of the skeletal beast trapped in the cave, she probably would have already turned and fled.

"What's wrong, are you scared?"

Su Yuyang's smile deepened as he slowly spoke, fulfilling his previous promise.

"Don't worry, I'll avenge you for what happened at the Night Watch camp."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xuanzhi looked up abruptly, her lifeless eyes instantly filled with extreme joy, and her eyes reddened instantly.

With such a terrifyingly powerful figure backing them up, the kidnapped comrades and the campmates who died tragically finally had hope.

Just as the two were talking, a violent tremor came from deep within the underground rock wall.

The imprisoned skeletal behemoth struggled frantically, its limbs and claws digging into the mountain rock layers, managing to break free from the suppression range of the 300-meter safety zone.

It gave Su Yuyang one last cold glance, then dared not linger any longer. Its four claws flew, quickly digging through the underground rock layers and burrowing into the deep underground fissure.

Lin Xuanzhi noticed the unusual movement in the mountain. Looking in the direction the giant beast had fled, her expression turned serious, and she asked in a low voice.

"Sir, are we just going to let it go like that?"

Su Yuyang shook his head slightly, his gaze calm. "There's nothing I can do. I don't currently have any means to break through its skeletal defenses, so I can't do anything to it."

Lin Xuanzhi nodded slightly, suppressing her worries, and looked up at Su Yuyang, asking softly.

"So, what should we do next?"

Su Yuyang suppressed his smile and said crisply, "Go and gather Song Ruhai, Shen Changge, and everyone else. As long as they are still alive, anyone who is willing to come can be brought here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly, but she forcibly suppressed it.

This lord broke into the night watch camp and stole all the source crystals, only then remembering the safety of the others.

"Jiang Xiaochen and the others are well aware of the dangers of trying to awaken talents in the Abandoned Land, with an extremely low success rate. I can only do my best to search."

Su Yuyang nodded slightly, turned around and returned to the underground cave, collecting all the remaining dozen or so scattered source crystals on the ground, as well as putting all the items from his backpack into the newly unlocked virtual storage.

After doing all this, he stepped into the underground tunnel.

"Let's go back to the building and rest first."

Looking at the empty underground cave, Lin Xuanzhi finally suppressed her reluctance and silently followed in his footsteps.

The two retraced their steps along the cold, damp corridor and soon returned to the dilapidated lobby of the building.

After continuous fierce battles and extreme bursts of energy, Su Yuyang was exhausted and sat down on the cold ground. He took out ham and mineral water from his storage space and began to replenish his energy.

Lin Xuanzhi stared at the food that smelled of meat, her throat bobbing involuntarily. She suppressed her hunger, turned around and quickly left to search for Song Ruhai and Shen Changge.

Half an hour later, three disheveled figures hurriedly returned to the hall.

At this moment, three steaming bowls of beef rice and three bottles of purified water were already laid out on the ground.

Su Yuyang sat with his eyes closed and spoke softly.

"Eat your fill first, then we'll talk about other things. I never let my soldiers go hungry."

Song Ruhai, Shen Changge, and Lin Xuanzhi, who had returned, looked at each other with heavy hearts, but ultimately did not refuse.

Having lost their companions one after another and suffering from hunger and cold for days, they were already exhausted.

The three sat on the ground, eating in silence, wolfing down their food, their suppressed sadness hidden deep in their hearts.

Su Yuyang focused his mind on the newly upgraded system interface.

The shelter anchor point function has been activated, and the entire abandoned building has been quietly marked as a shelter base by him.

An invisible barrier enveloped the entire building, keeping out all the mutated beasts and rotting zombies roaming outside. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't take a single step inside.

At the same time, the anchor point access is controllable, and outsiders cannot enter the building area unless he gives his tacit approval.

Ten minutes later, all three meals were finished.

Song Ruhai and Shen Changge put down their cutlery, their eyes red and their faces sorrowful. They had clearly learned from Lin Xuanzhi the tragic news of Luo Lingsha and Luo Lingyu's deaths.

Amidst the pervasive sadness, Su Yuyang slowly opened his eyes, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the three of them. His voice was not loud, yet it caused a jolt in their hearts.

"From this day forward, this building will be my refuge."

No mutated beast, zombie, or anything else may enter without my permission.

The three of them were startled and looked at Su Yuyang in unison, instantly understanding the deeper meaning behind his words.

From this day forward, they were no longer survivors of the Night Watch camp, but subordinates of the powerful figure before them.

Shen Changge, being a calm and composed man, was the first to bow and greet him, speaking in a deep voice: "Your subordinate obeys. Thank you for taking me in, sir."

Long before the source crystals were all taken away, he had already come to terms with reality and resigned himself to his fate.

After a moment of silence, Song Ruhai knelt heavily on both knees, kowtowed deeply, and his voice was choked and hoarse.

"Thank you for promising to avenge the night watch camp, sir. From this day forward, we are willing to follow you and obey your every command."

The Night Watch camp was now defunct, its comrades dead, and the others captured by the Ash Earth camp and enslaved.

They could only seek revenge and survive by relying on the adults in front of them.

Seeing that the three of them knew what was good for them, Su Yuyang nodded slightly, casually tossed the fire axe to them, and gave them instructions.

"I need a lot of gold, the more the better. The rules are simple: ten kilograms of gold for a box of beef rice and a bottle of purified water."

"If you want to live, if you want to have enough to eat, go and find me enough gold."
