Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

"Beep beep~ Beep beep~ Beep beep"

The phone rang suddenly. Audi fumbled for several phones on his person before finally pulling out a small, private phone from inside his clothes.

Audi initially intended to hang up when he saw the caller ID was an unfamiliar number. However, remembering it was his private line, he answered the phone, and a familiar voice immediately came through the receiver.

"Boss! Boss! Something terrible has happened!"

Upon recognizing Elon Musk's voice on the other end of the phone, Audi was instantly enraged and began to hurl insults.

"Musk! Where the hell have you been?! Where's my stuff?!"

Musk's weak, trembling voice came through the phone: "Boss, the cargo's been intercepted, and they have a warship... You need to get out of here!"

Audi was initially furious, but by the end, a strange sense of relief flashed across his face. Henry, noticing the sudden change in his expression, quickly asked him what was wrong.

"What exactly happened?"

Audi completely ignored Henry's questions and reassured him in a deep voice over the phone, "Find a place to hide and wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Audi slumped onto the sofa, looking around as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed, a suffocating feeling suddenly engulfing his entire body.

"What exactly happened?"

Seeing Audi's distraught appearance, Henry, the black man, couldn't help but feel uneasy and asked a question.

"Should I send a message to that gentleman? No matter how big the problem is, he can always handle it if he steps in."

"The other side is the military... Will that gentleman really step in to protect us?"

Audi's hands jerked violently, and both cell phones fell to the ground with a thud.

His gaze was vacant and unfocused; he seemed to lose his composure instantly.

The fact that warships were deployed to blockade the Strait of Hormuz is a move that far exceeds what the government can afford to resist.

"military?"

Henry, a Black man, froze on his phone screen as he was sending a message, his heart filled with panic.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Try making contact first; there might still be a chance. The military is divided into different factions, so it's not necessarily a dead end. Send someone to Dubai to gather information."

"That's right, we must find out who did it as soon as possible."

Audi quickly bent down, trembling as he picked up the phone from the ground, and prepared to dial a series of private numbers in a flustered manner.

"Wouldn't you like to talk face-to-face?"

After sending the message, Henry, a Black man, saw Audi about to make a call and casually asked a question.

After all, this matter involves the military, and it would be inappropriate to discuss some confidential matters over the phone.

"Let's arrange a meeting in person first."

Remembering Musk's final warning to run away as soon as possible, Audi took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anxiety surging in his heart.

"Okay, let's split up."

Henry, the Black man, nodded and turned to leave.

He knew the situation was serious and that staying at the manor any longer might lead to disaster. After leaving the desert manor, he immediately and secretly booked a flight to London, England.

.......

Wasteland world, Tokyo mining area

Jiang Xiaochen led Glass Mingyuan to the outside of a warehouse in the heart of the Black Mountain and bowed respectfully towards the inside of the warehouse.

"My lord, Glass Mingyuan has something to discuss with me."

After learning that Glass Mingyuan had agreed to the adult's conditions, Jiang Xiaochen stopped staying in Lin Xuanzhi's room and left Zhao Xinyan to look after her.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Su Yuyang's somewhat excited voice finally came from inside the warehouse: "Come in."

The two pushed open the door and entered the warehouse, where the scene before them instantly horrified them. The once mountain of source crystals had now turned into fragments scattered all over the floor.

"It's truly unbelievable that this person absorbed all the source crystals in the entire warehouse."

Jiang Xiaochen looked astonished. He knew that the warehouse originally contained an astonishing number of source crystals, but now it was completely empty.

In contrast, Glass Mingyuan did not appear as distraught as Jiang Xiaochen. Although he was inevitably shocked to see the fragments of source crystals scattered all over the ground, he believed that most of the source crystals in the warehouse had been stored elsewhere by Su Yuyang.

Su Yuyang glanced at the two of them indifferently, then waved to Jiang Xiaochen, signaling him to step back first.

Jiang Xiaochen bowed respectfully to Su Yuyang, then quickly left the warehouse, gently closing the door behind him.

"Have you thought it through?"

Su Yuyang was unaware of what Glass Mingyuan had been going through these past few days; he only noticed that Glass Mingyuan looked extremely unwell and had long lost his former arrogance.

"Sir, I'd like to confirm again. You guarantee my personal safety as long as I hand over the right to use the attendant mech?"

Glass Mingyuan stared intently into Su Yuyang's eyes, not daring to relax for a moment, carefully capturing every subtle change in the expression in his eyes.

"That's natural. Killing you would be pointless; I wouldn't get the Servant Mech, and it would only attract the attention of the city of Grass."

Su Yuyang remained calm and composed. With his attendant mechs guarding the Tokyo mining area, he could leave to handle other matters.

With the system now undergoing a comprehensive upgrade and unlocking many new features, he urgently needs to expand his own power.

"Very well, please summon those eight attendant mechs."

He had previously witnessed Su Yuyang's ability to conjure objects out of thin air and make his attendant mechs disappear into thin air.

As expected, as soon as Glass Mingyuan finished speaking, Su Yuyang waved his hand, and eight attendant mechs appeared out of thin air.

Eight attendant mechs were positioned between the two men. Glass Mingyuan took a deep breath and strode forward.

"Sir, please come to my side."

The two stood together in front of the E-class attendant mech. Glass Mingyuan raised his hand and placed it on the mech's chest armor. A palm-sized hidden compartment slowly opened, and a faint blue halo emanated from its body.

After performing his actions, Glass Mingyuan turned to Su Yuyang beside him and began to explain.

"Alright, now all you need to do is register your pupils, and you will gain access to this servant mech."

Su Yuyang raised an eyebrow, turned his head to look at Glass Mingyuan, and pondered to himself.

"What, scared?"

Glass Mingyuan's lips curled slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, a sarcastic smile about to spread across his face.

But before that mocking smile could fully form on his lips, Su Yuyang had already raised his eyes to the hidden compartment, silently deploying the invincible protective shield enhanced by the system; his vigilance was already in place.

Everything proceeded exceptionally smoothly. The moment the pale blue halo entered Su Yuyang's pupils, a strange connection instantly formed between him and the mecha.

Having confirmed that Glass Mingyuan had not played any tricks, Su Yuyang calmed down and instantly gained control of the remaining seven servant mechs.

When everything was done, Glass Mingyuan quietly took a step back, his gaze fixed on Su Yuyang in front of him, his eyes filled with astonishment, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"What kind of monster are you?!"

Back in the days when he was in Grass City, it would take him more than two hours just to establish a mental link with each attendant mech.

Each time a body is successfully bound, it takes a full seven days of rest to recover from the source energy.

But this person in front of me completed the mental connection of eight attendant mechs in just over ten minutes.

Noticing the surprised look on Glass Mingyuan's face, Su Yuyang slowly turned his head, looked at him calmly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing~"

Glass Mingyuan hurriedly shook his head repeatedly, looking at Su Yuyang as if he were examining an incredible alien monster.

"Alright, our transaction is complete. You can leave now."

Remember to stay put in the mining area and don't wander off. No one will bother you. As for food and water, you'll have to figure that out yourself.

Glass Mingyuan trembled violently, as if his soft spot had been touched. He dared not say another word and hurriedly turned and rushed out of the warehouse.

As he left, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xiaochen and his group waiting outside the door, his expression full of unease.

Just then, two figures walked slowly to the outside of the warehouse; it was Zhao Xinyan and Lin Xuanzhi.

The future arrangements for the night watch camp, the survivors who accompanied them, and everyone in the Tokyo mining area all depend on Su Yuyang's decision.

More than an hour passed before the heavy iron door of the warehouse was slowly pushed open.

Su Yuyang walked out slowly, with a servant mech standing silently behind him, guarding him on both sides.

Su Yuyang originally intended to summon all eight attendant mechs, but the moment he established a mental resonance with the mechs, he experienced a strange sensation as if he had eight clones.

This strange bond came unexpectedly, leaving him struggling to adapt for a while.

"What's up?"

He had previously instructed the three men that he would not interfere in any affairs, large or small, within the Tokyo mining area.

The entire management was entrusted to the three people; all that was required was to hand over the source crystals to them on time and in the required amount.

Su Yuyang glanced indifferently at everyone, his gaze sweeping around, but he didn't see Song Ruhai. He then asked a question in a low voice.

"Didn't find Song Ruhai?"

Seeing that the three of them looked somber and dejected, Su Yuyang didn't say anything. He walked straight past them and slowly made his way up the winding path of Black Mountain.

The three followed silently behind, their hearts heavy. Lin Xuanzhi, in particular, was the most troubled, the guilt she had barely managed to suppress surging up again.

Because of his momentary carelessness, the Luo sisters were killed by the strange beast at the foot of the mountain. This self-blame has always lingered in his heart and he can't get rid of it.

Su Yuyang had already taken in the three people's dejected and gloomy expressions, but he completely ignored them. He was not a kind and gentle elder, and he had no obligation to care about other people's feelings and thoughts.

The group walked to a suspended stone platform and leaned against the opening of a natural cave, gazing into the distance. Below, the dark forest was lush and verdant, with deep, dark vegetation. The shouts and calls of the miners working in the mining area drifted up on the mountain breeze.

With no need to mine for the time being, the survivors were gathered together to clear the mountains, cut down trees, and build houses, their joy barely concealed. Everyone swung their axes with all their might, vigorously chopping down the massive, dark trees that required one person to encircle, their energy boundless.

"If there's nothing else, you can all leave now."

The three followed silently behind, not uttering a single word from beginning to end. Su Yuyang had no time to waste with them.

He was filled with mixed emotions, a mixture of excitement and torment. Originally, he had only wanted to be a carefree, hands-off manager, content to be a good middleman between the two worlds.

But as the system continued to upgrade, he felt a sense of helplessness, as if he had found himself a living father.

Sensing the impatience in Su Yuyang's tone, Jiang Xiaochen quickly spoke first.

"Sir, our camp is almost out of food."

Next, we need to arrange for mutants and gifted individuals to enter the Black Forest to hunt mutant beasts and flying beasts to replenish their food supplies.

"However, there are too many survivors, if we..."

Jiang Xiaochen swallowed his words back. After all, those mine slaves were just survivors of a disaster. If they were still treated as slaves and driven around, their lives could be ignored, and their rations could be squeezed to the bare minimum.

"Are you planning to continue treating them like slaves?"

Su Yuyang's voice was flat and emotionless, revealing no trace of joy or anger, yet it inexplicably exuded a terrifying pressure, causing Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi to feel a sudden tightness in their hearts and their bodies to tremble slightly involuntarily.

Even when they lived in the Night Watch camp, as survivors, they had to venture into the dilapidated ruins and risk hunting scattered small mutant beasts to barely survive.

"No, no, no, we meant to..."

Jiang Xiaochen was speechless for a moment, stammering and unable to utter a single coherent sentence.

Lin Xuanzhi took a deep breath, resolutely stepped forward, and stood in front of Jiang Xiaochen, her expression respectful, and spoke in a deep voice.

"grown ups."

Lin Xuanzhi composed herself and quickly sorted out her thoughts.

She recalled how they used to exchange gold and source crystals for food and mineral water from this adult in front of her.

But now that the master owns an entire source crystal mine, what bargaining chips can they, and indeed everyone in the entire Tokyo mining district, offer to trade with him?
