An Alchemist Who Builds Shelters in the Apocalypse

chapter 66



Maintenance (1)

After putting all the rewards into your inventory.

Moved near the pit.

Even though Kural was dead, the fire rising from the pit did not think to be extinguished.

“It doesn’t matter.”

All burnable grass and trees have been removed, so it doesn’t matter if you leave it alone until the fire goes out.

I left the pit behind and moved to the front of the wall, shouting slogans.

“Open Sesame!”

Climb up the wall and check the slope.

There were only zombie corpses, but no living zombies were seen.

“Raoul, turn off all the western towers for a moment.”

“I get it. Seo Kang-joon!”

I sat down on the wall for a while and took out the reward.

I put 3 food cards ripped from the food package into my inventory and tore the rare item option.

<Search: Book of Sealing>

[You have obtained the Book of Sealing.]

Send Black out of the castle wall and transform into Arachne to use the Book of Sealing.

[Arachne’s skill has been sealed.]

Open and confirm Arachne’s information.

20% of the villain’s abilities have been deleted.

There are now two buffs left.

Shortly after he transformed Black back into his main cat, Harin Yu and his summons arrived.

Yuharin’s summoned beast is a mermaid wizard.

*Rami Lv 1.

[Job]: Mermaid Wizard (Rare)

[technology]:

-Ice Arrow (Rare)

-Freezing Sphere (Advanced)

[Description]: A mermaid wizard who uses the water attribute and will die if he does not enter sea water once every 24 hours.

[Abilities]:

-Strength 2.5, Agility: 2.4.

-HP 3.5, HP: 5.5.

[mana]:550.

Ice Arrow is a skill that fires an arrow made of sharp ice.

Freezing Sphere is a skill that explodes when it hits the target, sending sharp icicles in all directions.

If I had used it well, I would have been in the top 10 of the rankings. Naturally, my gaze turned to Yuharin.

“Mr. Kang Joon! I got second place.”

Yoo Harin gasped for breath as if she had run, and shook the miscellaneous goods selection she received as a reward.

‘Second place…’

How many did you catch?

“what. Looking at Kangjun’s expression, I think he needs this… Right?”

“yes. With two more copies of the seal, you can use Arachne at any time.”

“Really? then you have to give Now, here.”

Harin Yu smiled and handed me a choice.

“thank you. Harin.”

“What. between us.”

“Then wait a minute.”

He tore up the reward voucher and chose the Book of Sealing, transforming Black into Arachne.

“It’s creepy every time I see it.”

“Iknow, right.”

I also can’t get used to seeing a 3-meter-tall spider-man, even after watching it many times.

Well, what can I do?

It looks terrifying, but it’s powerful.

Now, if you get one more Seal Book, you can use Arachne at any time.

‘Maybe I can ask Cheolyoung.’

I placed second last time too.

There is also a gun I made, so it must have been in the top 10.

“Harin, please clean up after yourself.”

“Yes, Mr. Kang-jun.”

“Raul, turn off all the magic towers, move the land and water attribute towers back to their original positions.”

“I get it. Seo Kang-joon!”

After leaving Yuharin and Raul to clean up, I headed for Sema Station Fortress with Kalk.

***

Arrive at Sema Station Fortress.

We gathered the necessary people in the conference room to talk about merging domes.

After a while.

All the necessary people have gathered.

“We are going to merge Osan and Hwaseong at 9:00 tomorrow morning. Before that, I would like to hear from you.”

As soon as I finished my words, Lee Soo-ho, the head of the bodyguard, stood up.

“Mayor, wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous?”

Suho Lee stood up from his seat and continued, pointing to the map drawn in the center of the meeting room.

“As you can see, Osan City is adjacent to Hwaseong City on all boundaries except for the southern one. If you merge the dome now, zombies and villains around you will flock to Osan City.”

That was right.

“Why don’t we build more defenses and merge them?”

At Lee Suho’s question, the eyes of the people gathered in the conference room turned to me.

“I would like to, but the surrounding city conditions are not good.”

I told my colleagues about the city information I got from the tower yesterday.

The fact that the villain has conquered more than 1/3 of Suwon and that the head is ‘Suwon-chan’, and that the battle between the villain and the people over the control of Mars is fierce.

“Mayor. Is ‘Suwon-chan’ really in Suwon?”

Suho Lee’s face was full of worry when he said ‘Suwon-chan’.

“I’m sure. I heard about it from the people of Suwon I met at the tower yesterday. By the way, manager, do you know ‘Suwon-jjang’?”

“Yes, I saw that the mayor of Suwon was that guy during the open beta.”

Suho Lee’s face wrinkled as if he was recalling a memory he didn’t want to remember.

“That’s the psychop.”

Lee Soo-ho shook his head and said, as if he was fed up with it.

He built a cage for trolls in the fort’s most frequented plaza and hacked them to pieces with his sword every time he went into town.

Some users who were worse off protested, and they used a trick to strip the users and throw them as zombie rice.

“what. That madman is in Suwon?”

The head of the research department also asked if he knew ‘Suwon-jjang’.

“Do you know the head of the research department?”

“I know. The scene itself was filmed and posted on the Internet, so the news went wild.”

Then I remembered.

As his video spread all over the world, Koreans were bullied by foreigners, calling them psychopaths.

Of course I was an exception.

There were very few high rankers who did not receive my help.

“Mayor. Don’t do that, and attack Suwon instead of Hwaseong tomorrow.”

One of Lee Suho’s colleagues said.

“sorry. He is a bit ignorant, so he doesn’t know that there is no part where Suwon City and Osan City meet.”

“it’s okay. What do others think?”

“I agree.”

“I agree too.”

The reaction of the people who hesitated at the mere word that ‘Suwon-jjang’ was in Suwon turned around.

“I agree too. Mayor. However, if the city is merged, the range to be defended will increase considerably. What do you plan to do?”

the research director asked.

“If you use the spirits of Arachne and Mr. Yuharin, you can solve it at once. There is just one problem. I removed 3 of the Queen’s Blessing buffs, but I have one left. That’s why I need a Rare Grade Miscellaneous option.”

“ah···. sorry. Mayor, my colleagues and I exchanged everything for food discount coupons.”

Lee Soo-ho and his colleague understood what I was talking about and put on an apologetic expression.

“It’s not something to be sorry for, but it’s something to be praised for, doesn’t it? Everyone, please give them a round of applause.”

Everyone clapped their hands looking at Suho Lee and his teammates.

clap clap clap!

“Ah, why are you all like that? I just did what I had to do…”

Suho Lee and his colleagues are embarrassed. Certainly, I picked one person well.

‘Then it’s only Cheolyoung.’

My gaze turned to Cheolyoung.

“I was worried about how to repay the help I received from my older brother, but I think I can repay you a little with this.”

Cheolyoung smiled as he handed me a rare grade sundries option.

“thanks. Cheolyoung.”

“What. It’s nothing compared to what my brother did. Isn’t that right, guys?”

“that’s right. mister.”

“Thank you for saving our lives.”

The students who joined the defense team with Lee Chul-young said.

“Then one big problem has been solved. Chief of Security. How is the rescue of survivors going?”

“Using a loudspeaker, we circled the entire city of Osan twice, and about 500 survivors were added.”

“Are you saying there are around 2,000 survivors in Osan City?”

“yes. Mayor.”

Due to the wrong choice of the mayor of Osan, less than 10 days after the end of the city, the city’s population decreased to 1%.

Everyone knew that, so a shadow was cast over their faces.

I called up information about Sema Station through market information.

[1500/1500]

Although the number of prisoners was increased to 1,500 through research, it was not enough.

“After the meeting, we will use the Achievement Shop to increase the maximum population, so bring everyone into the fort. And for the time being, I will focus on building a wall here.”

I drew two lines in the space between Doksanseong Fortress and Sema Station Fortress on the map in the center of the meeting room.

“Kalk-sama will explain the details.”

Afterwards, Calc came forward to explain the details related to the construction, and as we discussed the necessary matters for the merger of Osan and Hwaseong, the meeting ended after 10pm.

“Thank you all for your hard work, I will see you tomorrow morning.”

Worried about her younger brother, Yuharin went back with Calc first, and I headed to the plaza.

Check the ranking board once again.

1st place with 127,319 points.

2nd place Yu Harin with 1,102 points.

3rd place Lee Cheol-young 242 points.

….

10th place Lee Soo-ho, 132 points.

I thought there would be quite a difference.

You’ll give me this far…

This would be enough to buy merged items and increase the population of Sema Station Fortress.

An increase in population means an increase in walking taxes. Right now, you are investing at a loss, but over time, you will be rewarded.

I put my thoughts aside and came out of the fortress to remove Arachne’s buff.

The distance from the fortress was about 1 km away, so this was enough.

“Hey, transform into Arachne.”

-Nyan!

The black that turned into black mist was instantly formed into the shape of Arachne.

I reached out and used the last book of seal on black.

[Arachne’s skill has been sealed.]

[The Queen’s Blessing has been deleted.]

Finally, the Queen’s Blessing was removed.

In other words, black can be transformed into Arachne at any time.

“Now is the beginning.”

Being able to use Arachne 24 hours a day is really amazing.

Arachne itself is strong, but Arachne’s fear is that she can control zombies around her.

I don’t know the exact number and radius because I haven’t tested it, but since I’ve used it at Seodongtan Station, I can definitely control at least 100 zombies and a radius of 500m.

If you apply this, you will be able to quickly reduce the number of zombies in Osan City.

And that’s not all.

The number of eggs Arachne can hatch in a day is 10. That means you can get 10 Muscles and Giants a day.

The problem is that when black turns into another being, he loses control of the zombies.

‘I have to climb the tower too.’

Black, who has to transform in various ways, cannot be transformed into only Arachne forever.

There is only one solution, and it is to obtain the Ankh of the dead and return control to me.

‘Ankh of the Dead’

It is a heroic grade and can be obtained in Area 3 as an item that can control undead monsters.

If you’re lucky, you might even get it as a level reward. like a cloak.

Because it’s not urgent.

You just have to save it slowly.

‘Black, get rid of zombies and villains on the border between Osan City and Hwaseong City.’

-Keah!

I attached MUI to Black, who was running hard, and headed to the building where the fortress manager was staying.

“Come on. Iron man once.”

I greeted the manager and opened the achievement shop.

[Add NPC][Item][Building]

[Expansion][Research][Others]

Check your achievement points.

Close to 130,000 points.

‘Then let’s use the points.’

Purchased a merged item by clicking on the item.

[50,000 points have been consumed.]

[You have acquired the Dome Merge item.]

*Dome merging.

[Rating]: Normal.

[Function]: Merge level 1 domes into the same scenario area.

-Available for adjacent domes.

[Price]: 50,000 points.

When the domes are merged, all situations are set according to the attempted dome, so Mars becomes the point where the second wave ends and no zombies are created.

In other words, it means the right time to eliminate the villains on Mars.

I replayed the plan in my head and put the item in my inventory.

Next is territorial expansion.

Click the [Expand] button.

1. Territorial expansion [1 ha: 10,000P]

– Upgrade Status: 0/10.

5. Population Expansion [20%=5,000P]

– Upgrade Status: 0/10.

Territory is not important.

Population expansion 4 times is enough.

Click Population Expansion 4 times.

[The capacity of Sema Station Fortress has increased by 80%.]

About 60,000 points left.

Now it’s time to draw.

Select [Item]-Draw in the menu.
