Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

With a muffled thud, Su Yuyang fell heavily from the treetop, landing on his buttocks without even noticing the slight tremor.

Su Yuyang suddenly pushed himself up from the ground and sat up, cursing inwardly.

"Damn it! RPGs in the wasteland! I'm only using a machete, how am I supposed to fight this?! This is outrageous!"

Su Yuyang cursed in his heart for a long time before angrily looking around. Apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind and the occasional birdsong in the distance, there was not a single person in sight.

He raised his hand to rub his throbbing temples, secretly making plans in his mind.

If that rocket hadn't been protected by an absolute safety zone, I would have been blown to bits long ago.

It seems that having machetes alone is not enough; we must find a way to get some firearms, otherwise we will only be able to passively take a beating next time we encounter this situation!

But the thought was quickly suppressed by Su Yuyang.

He is currently in Zhejiang East City, where the control over firearms is extremely strict, and obtaining one is not an easy task.

Furthermore, although he still had over 100,000 yuan in cash, buying firearms was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Su Yuyang took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, put a little effort into his legs, and leaped up to retrieve the surveillance camera embedded in the gaps between the tree branches.

I wanted to check it now, but I found that the camera had already run out of power and was turned off, and the screen was completely black.

He had no choice but to casually stuff the camera into the side pocket of his tactical backpack.

I weighed the bulging backpack on my back; it still contained quite a few compressed biscuits, self-heating food, and bottled water.

"Tsk, bought too much." Su Yuyang sighed softly, then shook his head, thinking to himself.

"It's because I didn't spend enough time in the wasteland. I need to find a way to stay in the wasteland longer."

Hearing the occasional chirping of insects coming from the grove, Su Yuyang looked up to determine the direction, leaped down from the treetop, and walked briskly towards the edge of the grove.

His figure moved swiftly under the moonlight, several times faster than that of an ordinary person, and the pebbles and withered vines under his feet did not affect his pace at all.

After walking for almost half an hour, Su Yuyang finally emerged from the grove and arrived at a relatively conspicuous street.

He took his phone out of his pocket, pressed the power button, the screen lit up, and the signal bars instantly reached full strength.

Su Yuyang skillfully opened the Didi Chuxing app and paid extra to hail a six-seater ride-hailing car.

A short while later, a minivan slowly pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down, and the driver leaned out, smiling as he asked, "Your phone number ends in 830?"

Su Yuyang nodded slightly, bent down to open the trunk, threw the heavy tactical backpack inside, slammed the trunk shut, then opened the car door and plopped down in the back seat.

The driver skillfully started the vehicle and merged into the traffic in the distance.

Su Yuyang leaned back lazily in his chair, a wave of exhaustion washing over him as he gazed at the night view outside the window.

The night in Zhejiang East City is brightly lit with neon lights, and the wide streets are bustling with traffic. The streetlights extend to the end of the night, reflecting the lights of the distant high-rise buildings.

The lively atmosphere of this peaceful era contrasted sharply with the desolate wasteland, evoking a sense of melancholy in Su Yuyang.

The vehicle drove smoothly through the night. Su Yuyang closed his eyes to rest, his mind constantly replaying the plan to return to the wasteland. Before he knew it, more than two hours had passed.

When the vehicle stopped at the entrance of the residential area, Su Yuyang slowly opened his eyes, paid the fare, got out of the car, opened the trunk, picked up his tactical backpack, and quickly walked into the residential area.

Back in his rented apartment, Su Yuyang's first action was to put his backpack in the entryway, take out the dead camera, and find a charging cable to connect it to the socket.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the camera indicator light come on, then turned and went into the bathroom to wash up.

"Shh~ Shh~ Shh~~~"

The sound of running water filled the small bathroom, and the warm water washed over the body, dispelling fatigue and dust.

After washing up, Su Yuyang dried his hair, opened the refrigerator door, took out a bottle of DL100% grape blended juice, unscrewed the cap, and took a big gulp.

The cool, sweet juice slid down my throat, instantly dispelling the dryness in my mouth.

He stroked the five blood energy crystals with his left hand, his thoughts gradually becoming heavy.

"Although I didn't get the gold this time, I unexpectedly obtained four Blood Energy Crystals, plus the one I broke, making a total of five."

Su Yuyang muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips, "Fortunately, I still have over 100,000 yuan in cash on me, enough for temporary expenses."

Just then, the system's cold, mechanical voice echoed in my mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host possesses a 'Tier 1 Blood Energy Crystal'. Absorb all of it? Replenish the system's energy needs.]

Su Yuyang drank most of the grape juice, licked the juice from the corner of his mouth, and then looked at the five blood energy crystals in his left hand, where he hesitated.

While complete absorption can replenish the system's energy, it also needs to reserve a portion for repairing genes and extending lifespan.

After a moment's thought, he silently recited in his mind, "Absorb three."

As Su Yuyang gave the command in his mind, the three blood energy crystals in his left hand instantly lit up with a dazzling red halo.

A warm, red current flowed down my palm, up my arm, across my shoulder, and down my neck.

In an instant, the colorful black metal card flooded into his mind.

[Ding! The system has received an energy boost and can now upgrade to version 1.001!]

[In this version, within the Lv1 absolute safe zone, the host can designate a specific carbon-based life form to have an invincible state for 60 seconds.]

Su Yuyang's eyes lit up, but he couldn't help but complain.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this? Is this going to make me build an invincible army in the wasteland?!"

But then I thought about it again. My current absolute safe zone is only 10 meters, and each time I can only be invincible for 60 seconds. I still have a long way to go before I can build an invincible army.

He shook his head, completely abandoning the idea of ​​continuing to power up the system. He decided that the key was to focus on repairing his genes, extending his lifespan, and improving his own strength.

At the same time, the system notification sounded again.

[Ding! Host's vital signs detected as weakening. You possess a 'Tier 1 Blood Energy Crystal'. Absorb energy to repair damaged genes?]

This time, Su Yuyang did not hesitate at all, silently chanting in his mind, "Absorb!"

The remaining two blood energy crystals instantly transformed into a scalding red warm current, surging into his body and flowing through his limbs and bones along with his blood.

Wherever the warm current passed, the slight discomfort caused by brain cancer vanished instantly, replaced by an indescribable comfort.

All the muscles in his body became taut and firm, and his limbs and bones were filled with a continuous stream of power, even stronger than when he had absorbed a blood energy crystal.

[System Notification: First-tier Blood Energy Crystal energy has been absorbed. The spread of host cancer cells has been contained, and damaged organs have undergone minor repair.]

[Current lifespan has been extended by 100 days.]

"100 days!"

Su Yuyang clenched his fist tightly, a glint of wild joy flashing in his eyes. A 100-day extension to his lifespan meant he had more time to collect blood energy crystals in the wasteland.

Completely eradicating terminal illnesses, or even completing genetic evolution, gives us more time to prepare.
