Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

"What? I'm stuck in the shelter!?" A clear yet anxious voice rang out inside the shelter.

The next moment, Liu Lu hurriedly ran towards Zhong Li. Her chest was truly magnificent. With such intense running, a violent aftershock struck. Zhong Li felt his mind go blank. This aftershock was really something!

Before Zhongli could react, Liulu pounced on him, tightly pulling his arm into her embrace and shaking him frantically, "Manager~ why did you keep me here! I want to go out and play the most! I don't mind Hongluan and Huowu, can we switch places? Please take me with you!"

Zhong Li felt as if she were surrounded by something delicate and soft, as if she were wrapped in pure white clouds, and her whole body felt dizzy.

Charging someone with the ball, that's a really bad foul!

Zhong Li felt that no man could remain clear-headed under such an offensive.

If it were just him, Zhong Li wouldn't be able to control himself at all. But seeing the moonlight gradually dimming on the Saintess, Zhong Li gritted his teeth and firmly shook his head: "No, you must stay in the shelter to command the shelter guards to clear out the surrounding monsters and strongholds. Your firepower suppression is crucial for the shelter guards. As a melee healer, Huo Wu cannot provide such strong support."

Huo Wu's abilities are too formidable; if she were to lead the shelter's defenses, she simply wouldn't be able to take care of the ordinary soldiers.

Zhong Li could almost picture the scene. She couldn't bear to see the soldiers she had entrusted to her suffer any losses, and she knew that the girl would bear all the battles alone. By the time she returned to the shelter, she wondered how many wounds this girl would have inflicted upon herself.

Liu Lu also knew that Huo Wu, as a melee combat nun, was not suitable to stand alone: ​​"But there's still Hong Luan. Manager, Hong Luan is actually very gentle. I'll switch with her, she won't mind."

"No!"

"No!"

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, and Liu Lu and Zhong Li both turned their heads in surprise to look at Hong Luan, who had spoken.

Her answer was completely unexpected. Zhong Li felt that given her personality, she wouldn't refuse Liu Lu, but she didn't expect her to reject it before he did.

The cuckoo's eyes widened as it asked, "Why? Logically speaking, you wouldn't care whether you stay in the shelter or go out to fight, would you?"

Hongluan remained expressionless and said calmly, "In short, it won't work."

Zhong Li pressed down on Liu Lu's forehead, gently pushed her off him, and said, "Alright, stop fooling around. Hong Luan's close combat ability is what we need. You have to promise me you'll stay in the shelter, and I'll bring you a gift when I come back."

"But... even if I don't agree, I'll still get a gift if I go with you, right?"

"Hiss~" Zhong Li took a deep breath. Sure enough, this girl was just innocent and cute, not stupid. None of these elite soldiers were not exceptionally intelligent.

Fortunately, by this time, it was already past midnight, and the first wave of refreshes in the Crimson Training Ground had ended.

Zhu Que emerged from the training ground, drenched in sweat. Her hair, styled in a bun, revealed her tall, fair neck. A strand of long hair clung to her narrow, phoenix-shaped eyebrows, adding an extra touch of allure.

She wouldn't feel tired in the training ground, but Suzaku had been under the heaviest combat pressure since nightfall, and even in the early hours of the morning, she still looked a little mentally exhausted.

He forced himself to walk up to Zhongli and said, "Master Administrator, the first batch of Demon Rat Ruins projections has been cleared, and the soldiers are using the Collapsed Crystal Key to collect the Red Erosion Bubbles again."

Zhong Li nodded and asked, "How's the situation inside?"

"Due to the limited space, there are only 20 groups of ratmen projected, with the highest aptitude being elite, posing no threat to us. However, a large number of ratmen died in the Red Erosion Massacre and were corroded by the Red Erosion Bubbles, so the items we can obtain are limited."

"This is already very good," Zhong Li said with satisfaction. "Providing us with a training ground and experience is enough. As for the spoils, we don't insist, especially since there are still remnants of the Red-Eroded Creatures left behind."

Zhuque nodded and said, "For our first attempt, we only deployed 90 units of red erosion liquid bubbles. We can increase the deployment amount once we become more proficient."

Zhong Li immediately went to Ye Wei's side, squatted down beside her, and asked, "Weiwei, how are you feeling?"

Ye Wei, being quite astute, immediately understood what he wanted to ask and said with a smile, "My lord, I'm actually in very good condition; this is the most relaxed period I've had in recent years. I'm certain that even if Yue Zhihua's power disappears, I can still last for more than 27 minutes."

Zhongli smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, our situation will continue to improve."

"Yes, I believe things will get better."

After leaving Ye Wei's side, Zhong Li's smile vanished. Looking at the exhausted Zhu Que, he felt a pang of pity, but hardened his heart and said, "Zhu Que, the Holy Maiden's time is running out; only 27 minutes remain. 90 portions of Crimson Corrosion Bubbles can't sustain the Holy Maiden's condition... the quantity..."

Suzaku straightened her tired body and said, "I understand. I will increase the number of distributions later, and try to strengthen it to 120 in the next wave."

At this moment, Hongluan stepped forward and said, "Captain Zhuque, leave the next wave to me. I'll rest while we're traveling after the statue of the repentant girl is repaired."

Hearing Hongluan say this, Liulu finally sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not argue anymore. Hongluan, you just helped move bricks, and I even rested for a bit. I was planning to go out, but I'll go instead."

With Champion-level soldiers dealing 100% more damage, and given that the number of Red Erosion monsters is controllable and they appear in batches, it's indeed difficult for them to pose any real threat.

Especially after using [Moonlight Veil], even the holy damage from normal attacks can quickly deplete the monster's health.

By 3 a.m., the saintess's condition finally reversed. Although her life had dropped to less than 4 minutes, it was climbing upwards second by second!

Meanwhile, the statue of the repentant girl was finally completed thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone in the territory.

Zhongli prayed and worshipped forward, and the statue of the girl responded with a smile.

[Ding! Blessing granted: Shelter members gain +5 Protection. When attacked, gain Blessing equal to the user's current stacks. Upon activation of a Divine Ability, immediately receive healing equal to the current Blessing stacks.]

Although Qi You's focus was on defense, which differed somewhat from Zhong Li's desire for repentance, for some reason, seeing the girl's smiling face made Zhong Li feel better.

Isn't all that hard work, day and night, just for the smile on a young girl's face?

In a particularly cheerful mood, Zhongli waved to Hongluan and Huowu and said, "Let's go, take Sand Fox Baker with us, let's head to the Dark Merchant's stronghold."
