Chapter 424: Transformation of the Protective Wall and Dome – A whopping 6 million!
The last major overhaul of the main base cost approximately 3 million points. This time, the renovation of such a massive base protective wall, even without internal modifications, will cost at least double that amount, and it won't be possible to complete it without 6 million points.
Looking at the system panel, since I had a lot of points left, plus the daily income of nearly 800 million, I still had nearly 7 million points on the panel.
It is more than sufficient to modify the protective wall and dome system.
Besides the "Super Base Upgrade Package", the remaining modifications include the dome, the passageways on the protective walls, and so on.
There are nearly 150 gift packages of various sizes.
Lin Yuan spent more than two hours just selecting and purchasing gift packages.
At this moment, there were more than 150 small boxes in front of him, resembling Rubik's Cubes, all colorful and radiating a faint white light, giving them a mysterious feel.
However, when Lin Yuan saw that he only had 6000 million points left on the system panel, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. This round of upgrades to the main base and the base's defensive walls had really cost him a fortune, emptying his coffers.
Of course, this requires spending points, but with a constant stream of points coming in every day, Lin Yuan isn't worried about ever running out of points.
"Hehe, Richard had better not disappoint me. I'll make sure to get back some of the points I lost this time from you guys." Lin Yuan stretched before opening the door to the lounge.
The women were all waiting outside, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Yuan come out.
"Old pervert, it took you this long to shop? You've really kept us waiting." Jiang Qian said as she peeked into the lounge, her eyes lighting up when she saw the gift bags. "Wow! What will they look like after the modifications?"
“It’s definitely more stylish than the villa area back then,” Song Yufei said.
“Absolutely, these are products that don’t belong to this era,” Lin Yuan said with a smile. “Let’s unload all these heavily modified gift packs from the truck.”
"Good Le!"
The women, each holding a magic cube, jumped off the armored vehicle.
"Sister Yun, give orders to Tiger, Bald Wolf, and Zhang Hanqiu to have all the survivors and soldiers return to camp," Lin Yuan said. "The modifications are too big a commotion; we can't let others know too much about it."
Although the entire base would be shocked the next day, Lin Yuan still needed to remain hidden, especially regarding matters concerning the system.
Aside from those who have established a master-servant relationship with him, no one else should ever know about this. As for how they might guess that a giant fortress was built overnight, it doesn't matter how they guess, because everything will be attributed to supernatural abilities.
"Yes!"
Liu Yun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and keep an eye on it myself. Master's secret is no small matter."
"Alright,"
Lin Yuan nodded.
It was already midnight.
After Liu Yun was ready, Lin Yuan also began to take action.
As soon as he had a thought, the system's voice kept ringing in his mind, confirming his command. One by one, the 'Rubik's Cubes' trembled instantly, then turned into streaks of white light and flew towards the base's protective wall and dome.
Soon, the entire base's protective walls and the dome above were shrouded in white mist, and as usual, all sorts of chaotic noises emanated from it, like countless parts colliding with each other.
This renovation lasted even longer, more than an hour.
……
Inside the barracks.
Zhang Hanqiu, Tiger, Bald Wolf, and other mid-level officers were ordered to return to camp and were not allowed to go out or ask any questions they heard.
However, when the base began to be renovated, the chaotic and loud noises still left them looking at each other with puzzled expressions.
"Is Boss Lin going to use that mysterious ability again?" Zhang Hanqiu couldn't help but ask, "But what exactly is this ability?"
The tiger yawned and didn't make a sound.
Bald Wolf said, "Old Zhang, you're a seasoned veteran, don't you know not to ask things you shouldn't? Besides, we don't know either."
"I'm just curious."
Zhang Hanqiu sighed and said, "You mean Lin Laoda can control so many animals? Even beast-taming superpowers can't do that. And he can conjure up armored vehicles and helicopters out of thin air all the time. Now he can even conjure up a base?"
"How many combinations of superpowers would that require, and to develop them to their fullest potential to achieve this? No... this isn't something superpowers can do at all; it's practically creating something out of nothing."
"Could it be that Boss Lin is really a genius?"
Zhang Hanqiu spoke with great relish.
But the tiger and the bald wolf exchanged a glance and remained silent.
Zhang Hanqiu, realizing he had made a fool of himself, had no choice but to shut up.
In fact, apart from the management, the other survivors and soldiers also heard the huge noise and were naturally wondering what was going on.
In particular, after they heard this sound last time, a huge underground base on the edge of the cliff changed drastically. What will happen this time?
……
The chaotic and loud noise lasted for a full hour.
An hour later, the white fog dissipated completely, and in the night, the protective wall, which was originally just made of cement and steel bars, had been completely transformed.
The forty-meter-high protective wall was entirely made of alloy, and under the moonlight, the metal gleamed with a technologically advanced sheen. Within the wall itself, there were numerous spaces that could serve as sentry posts, as well as mounting launchers for machine guns, cannons, missiles, and more—making it essentially a fortress.
Above, the previously simple dome has now been transformed into a freely retractable structure made of alloy.
After the modification was completed, while the women were still exclaiming in amazement, countless streams of information transmitted by the system flashed through Lin Yuan's mind, allowing him to quickly understand the detailed data, usage methods, and more precise introduction of the protective wall.
It is essentially no different from the previous villa area renovation. This protective wall has two states. The first is the normal state, which looks no different from an ordinary high wall, except that the material looks a bit special.
The second mode is defensive mode. Once activated, all passageways and domes close, enveloping the entire base in an alloy shell with its own shock-absorbing system. Ordinary thermal weapons cannot penetrate it, and even missiles and rockets require intense, repeated bombardments to create an opening. Furthermore, in defensive mode, the base also has an air defense system capable of intercepting or jamming enemy missiles and rockets.
The third mode is combat mode. Once activated, a portion of the passage will be opened for firing weapons. As long as there are enough weapon resources, whether it's a large zombie horde or an enemy army, they will face a combat box that can fire ammunition and weapons from all directions.
“Xiao Qian, currently only I can control the protective wall and dome via voice. However, you should still develop a control system with slightly reduced permissions; some permissions should be held exclusively by me,” Lin Yuan said.
"Great! Great! This is such a cool job, of course I should do it." Jiang Qian's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a giant toy.
"Sister Yun, Mu Qing," Lin Yuan instructed, "Get Tiger and Bald Wolf moving too. Arrange dedicated personnel to guard the many sentry posts on the protective wall now, and equip them with weapons and ammunition according to different models. If that's not enough, have Bald Wolf move all the weapons and ammunition from the dock warehouse. If that's still not enough, we can also seek support from Bridge City or Bay City."
"In short, we need to prepare all of this before the arrival of the combined forces of the Sakura Kingdom and Richard, and we need to be quick about it."
Lin Yuan said solemnly.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the women busied themselves with their respective tasks.
Even Bai Zhenzhen and Song Yufei began preparing wartime supplies, such as medicine and food. Although they were evolved beings, there were many survivors and soldiers who were just ordinary people.
War is about attrition.
It not only consumes various resources, but also lives and blood!
