Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

Su Yuyang calculated in his mind that, including waiting for the flight and the entire flight, he would have more than seven hours of free time, which would be just enough time to rest.

Su Yuyang stretched gently, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and waited patiently for his arrival at the airport.

Meanwhile, in the wasteland world.

A hazy, yellowish smog blanketed the sky and earth, and in the oppressive, deathly silence of the city ruins, a group of several hundred people was slowly moving forward.

The group consisted mostly of young and middle-aged men and women, all of whom looked tired and haggard, their clothes were tattered, and their eyes were filled with fear.

They were all survivors of the Night Watch camp, who had recently been brutally plundered and looted by the Ash Earth camp. Their camp was destroyed, their supplies were stolen, and they were forced into slavery.

Along the way, broken walls and ruins were everywhere, the roars of mutated beasts rose and fell from the shadows, and the shadows of zombies were everywhere.

This large and diverse group had barely stepped into the area when they were spotted by lurking beasts and zombies.

At the front of the group, a burly, horned beast slowly walked forward. On its back, a frail young man was resting with his eyes closed; it was none other than Master Huo from the Ash Earth Camp.

All around the team, in the gray-yellow smog, patrol teams returned one after another from the depths of the thick fog.

Each time a squad retreated, the roars of the strange beasts lurking in the shadows in the distance would gradually subside, yet they would still remain entrenched.

Huo Ye lazily raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the thick, persistent gray-yellow smog around him, his eyes showing no ripples.

Several patrol teams returned to their positions from the edge of the mist, and the strange noises and roars lurking in the shadows gradually dissipated, with no further signs of them daring to approach.

After confirming that all the outer squads had regrouped, Master Huo gave the order to continue advancing.

The massive mountain beast at the front of the procession let out a low growl, carrying him steadily forward, while hundreds of slaves followed behind, continuing to traverse the city ruins.

Sitting on the back of the mountain beast, Master Huo was filled with melancholy and confusion, because his mountain beast was injured.

Before leaving the Night Watch camp, he deliberately ordered the mountain-horned beasts to hide deep underground within the camp, intending to use this as a backup plan to wipe out all remaining forces within the camp.

The fact that the beast is now inexplicably injured must mean that it encountered some unknown event in the ruins of the Night Watch camp.

Master Huo lowered his eyes slightly, suppressing the anger and irritation surging in his heart, and sighed softly, muttering to himself.

"It's alright. Gao Zhuang personally led the team back to the ruins of the night watch camp. That guy is much more ruthless than me."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again to rest and continued to doze off.

......

Deep within a dilapidated neighborhood, more than ten blocks away from the Wasteland Shelter building, lies the ruins of an old gold shop with crooked doors and windows and cracked walls.

Five disheveled figures sat on the ground, heads down, gulping down the warm beef rice. They wolfed it down, eating at an extremely fast pace, their eyes filled with an urgent hunger.

Scattered around were simple tableware and half-empty mineral water bottles, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of cooked food, which diluted the unique rotten smell of the wasteland.

Lin Xuanzhi stood quietly to the side, slowly handing the bottled water in her hand to the pale-faced, slender girl in front of her, her eyes showing a hint of concern.

She then turned to the four people sitting on the ground beside her and whispered her instructions.

"Right now, this is all the food I can secretly give you; it's the limit. If that mysterious person discovers that we've been using our reserves without permission, the consequences will be dire, and none of us can afford to bear them."

Speaking of her experience of returning to the shelter in the first half of the day, Lin Xuanzhi was still deeply shocked.

When she returned to the shelter building after searching for gold with Song Ruhai and Shen Changge, she was stunned.

In the center of the spacious hall, supplies were stacked and neatly arranged, with ample supplies of drinking water, cooked food, and coarse grains.

The three were grateful for Su Yuyang's kindness and originally planned to keep the supplies to expand the shelter.

However, they encountered Jiang Xiaochen and his group who had just broken through to a higher level, and learned that only five of them had succeeded in breaking through and becoming gifted individuals.

Having all come from the Night Watch camp, Jiang Xiaochen and his four companions, despite becoming gifted individuals, were in dire need of food.

At first, Song Ruhai and Shen Changge refused, worried about angering that official. Lin Xuanzhi eventually softened and couldn't bear it. After several earnest persuasions, she finally convinced Song Ruhai and Shen Changge.

The three secretly took some portable food and bottled water from their ample supplies and smuggled them out of the shelter to this hidden gold shop to help their former companion who was now down on his luck.

Looking at the five people wolfing down their food, Lin Xuanzhi, Song Ruhai, and Shen Changge had mixed feelings in their eyes, including disappointment, grief, and regret.

Former comrades from the same camp.

Most of them failed to withstand the tempering of their talent awakening and all failed to break through, leaving only Jiang Xiaochen and four others who barely managed to save their lives.

Even though he survived, he was severely weakened and his body was extremely frail.

In no time, the last few servings of beef rice, instant noodles, biscuits, and bottled water were swept away by the five people in a whirlwind, leaving only empty packaging bags on the ground.

But even after they put down their utensils, their faces remained tense, their stomachs felt empty, and they had little sense of fullness.

After successfully awakening their talent, their physique undergoes a transformation and advancement, resulting in physical exertion and energy demands far exceeding those of ordinary people. Ordinary food is simply insufficient to satisfy their hunger, and this amount of supplementation is merely a drop in the ocean.

At this moment, one of the tall, arrogant young men slowly raised his head.

He glanced casually at Lin Xuanzhi, Song Ruhai, and Shen Changge, his eyes showing no gratitude but rather a condescending arrogance, before making a pretentious attempt to probe their intentions.

"Xuanzhi, I heard that the gifted individual left you with a considerable amount of supplies, enough to live comfortably for a long time. I wonder what your plans are now? Are you prepared to remain in the shelter indefinitely?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ruhai's brows furrowed instantly, and a sense of displeasure and wariness arose in his heart.

He looked up and stared directly at the young man who had spoken, his voice cold as he countered with a question.

"Zhu Wenchao, what do you mean by that? Just say what you mean, no need to beat around the bush or hide ulterior motives."

Zhu Wenchao immediately sneered, his face full of disdain, his head held high and chest puffed out, exuding the arrogance that came with the awakening of his talent.

"We were all once members of the Night Watch camp. Now that the five of us have successfully awakened our talents and our strength has increased dramatically, it is only right that we shoulder this heavy responsibility, join forces to avenge our fallen comrades, and settle all the blood debts! You wouldn't refuse to help us, would you?"

After becoming a gifted individual, Zhu Wenchao had long looked down on Song Ruhai and Shen Changge, who had no awakened talents and were mediocre in combat.

As he spoke, Zhu Wenchao subtly turned his head and quickly exchanged glances with his two companions beside him.

Their eyes met subtly, and the three understood each other perfectly, instantly deciphering the hidden schemes in each other's eyes—they were trying to force Song Ruhai, Shen Changge, and Lin Xuanzhi to hand over more food.

Shen Changge, with her keen senses, instantly caught the fleeting greed in their eyes and immediately stood up on guard.

He turned to look at Jiang Xiaochen, whose expression was complicated and who remained silent, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Jiang Xiaochen, is that what you all think?"
