[Manual Generator]

[Can be upgraded. Supply a more convenient source of power, as well as a greater amount of power.]

[Upgrade Aspect: Diesel Generator (100), Petrol Generator (100), Biofuel Generator (200)]

“During such a situation, a biofuel generator is undoubtedly more reliable. However, I don’t have that many points at the moment. I should wait a few days before I get it,” Wu Peng muttered to himself after he looked at the options.

He had amassed 950 points during this time but had spent 800 points to upgrade the defense systems of the shelter that left him with only 150 points in his hands.

In such an environment, to exchange those points for a diesel or petrol generator would undoubtedly become a hindrance. It was more reliable for him to get the biofuel generator.

In Wu Peng’s understanding of generators, biofuel generators were split into many other varieties. These generators could convert biogas or trash into power.

He would be able to sustain his use of energy if he exchanged his points for the biofuel generator.

After he decided that he needed to amass points for the biofuel generator, Wu Peng did not continue to mull over the decision. Instead, he started to investigate the other parts of the shelter.

He had to admit that upgrading the shelter was a very wise decision.

At the very least, most of the items in the shelter were not damaged after sustaining the impact of the meteor.

After he tidied the shelter up, Wu Peng had the thought to head out to have a look.

Even though he knew that the meteor would bring about a large amount of intense radiation, he still put on his anti-radiation gear, driven by his immense curiosity, and was prepared to walk out of the shelter.

However, he immediately dismissed that thought when he arrived at the door and saw the melted, deformed door.

The door at the outermost section of the shelter was made out of pure steel. What kind of temperatures were there to make the door melt and become this deformed?

Without a doubt, he would not be able to walk outside with his simple anti-radiation gear.

Wu Peng returned to the shelter and opened up the attributes of his anti-radiation gear.

[Anti-Radiation Gear]

[Can be upgraded. The suit can be upgraded to better resist pressure, and better resist the extreme cold or extreme heat in the environment.]

Upgrade Aspect: Level One Alloyed Battle Gear (300)

“…”

Wu Peng could not help but knit his brows when he saw the attributes of the anti-radiation gear.

It required 300 points for an initial upgrade. The points it would need in the future would be hefty.

It seemed like he had to find a way to earn more points. He could not do anything with his meager 150 points.

Wu Peng suppressed the curiosity in his heart and could only continue to do things within the shelter.

…

The next day, Wu Peng opened the system and checked out the points he gained after he woke up out of habit.

“Crash of the meteor. The era of catastrophe has descended. Points +500.”

“Hit by the meteor and sustained a certain amount of impact. Points +200.”

“Woke up successfully. The shelter has regained its order. Points +100.”

“Points Remaining: 950 Points.”

Wu Peng was elated when he saw the points he gained, he did not expect to gain almost a thousand points in one day.

He chose to upgrade the generator and anti-radiation gear without hesitation.

“Points -500.”

As his generator got upgraded, he no longer had to effortfully activate the generator manually to supply power and create a power reserve.

Now that he had upgraded his generator to a biofuel generator, all he had to do was put in the material it required.

Now that he had upgraded his protective gear, he decided to try to head out of the shelter once again.

This time, he was able to open the door of the shelter. However, the waves of immense heat that assaulted his protective gear from outside once again caused him to dismiss the thought of scouting the outside world.

…

Half a month passed in a flash.

Wu Peng amassed a large number of points in these two weeks. He once again upgraded his generator, protective gear, and crop nursery.

What surprised Wu Peng was the great news that the time needed to grow crops became shorter after he upgraded the crop nursery.

Furthermore, now that the outside world had two weeks to cool down, the temperature outside the shelter had dropped by several degrees.

This day, Wu Peng could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart. He put on his Level Two Alloyed Battle Gear and walked out of the shelter.

The upgraded Alloyed Battle Gear allowed Wu Peng to walk freely in the outside world and kept him from being assaulted by the heatwaves.

The sounds of wind blew past his ears and brought up a wave of dust and debris.

At the same time, everything in Wu Peng’s line of sight was dirt and rubble. The plants that had been here had vanished, and the city had become a wasteland.

He occasionally came across buildings that were still standing, but the wind and debris had ravaged them.

The satellite signal receiver that was used for communication had been destroyed by the impact of the meteor. He did not know when the signal and the Internet would be restored.

Without his connection to the Internet, Wu Peng would not be able to come into contact with the outside world.

However, the satellite signal receiver was not something he could fix alone. He had to wait for the officials to come to examine and repair the facility.

He continued to roam around the city. Just as he was about to turn back and return to his shelter, he suddenly heard something not far away from him.

A few human figures that wore defensive gear that was interwoven with red and blue held a piece of equipment and they seemed to be looking for something. They were obviously law enforcers.

Wu Peng immediately recognized who they were after he saw the protective gear they wore and made a detour to avoid them and returned to his shelter.

…

In the crop nursery, Wu Peng looked at the wheat in the nursing pod that was about to enter maturity and had a smile on his face.

The wheat, which normally needed three to four months to mature, only needed one month in the nursery of the shelter.

This had undoubtedly solved the greatest problem regarding his survival.

As he thought about that, Wu Peng tapped open the attributes of the crop nursery.

[Beginner Crop Nursery]

[Can be upgraded. Increase the area of the nursery and accelerate the growth of the crops.]

[Upgrade Aspect: Intermediate Nursery (1000)]

His current crop nursery had an area of 100 square meters. The area of the nursery would double if he upgraded it to become an intermediate nursery.

However, it required a large number of points. He was alone at this moment and did not need to upgrade the nursery.

A growth cycle of one month and a space of 100 square meters was enough to supply him with the food he needed. It would even give him a surplus of rations.

Wu Peng did not continue to stay in the nursery. Instead, he went to the living room and sat down.

However, because the satellite signal receiver had been damaged, he could not use either the satellite television or the satellite Internet. He could not watch any programs or access the web.

Wu Peng sat for a while and felt extremely bored. He decided to head to the workstation and build a few toys.

Wu Peng had intentionally installed a 3D printer in the workstation intending to make it convenient for him to create a few items.

However, he froze when he saw the upgrading attributes of the 3D printer.

[3D Printer]

[Can be upgraded. Create a variety of hot weapons.]

[Upgrade Aspect: Weapon Production Station (500)]

“Upgrade!” Wu Peng said after a moment of deliberation.

In an instant, the 3D printer transformed into a three to four-meter-long, silver-white production station. There was an operating pod in the middle of the production station.

Wu Peng entered the operating pod and was completely shocked by what appeared in his line of sight.

There were options for a variety of weapons on the screen of the operating pod. Behind these options were the points required to produce them.

However, what sparked Wu Peng’s curiosity was that some of the options were duller than the rest, perhaps because they had not been unlocked yet.
