Chapter 3: Constructing a Bunker, 400 Native Workers!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A flash of light shone over the graveyard.

The pitch-black soil seemed to have been infused with some kind of special energy. Whenever a zombie corpse came in contact with it, it would automatically disintegrate and be absorbed into the soil.

In his line of sight, the only zombie corpse that fell into the graveyard was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within three minutes, half of the corpse disappeared.

“…”

Lin Ye was dumbfounded. Nothing happened to the other half of the zombie.

Was it because the other half was outside the graveyard?

With this thought in mind, he stood at the entrance and gauged the zombies outside.

After his previous tries, it seemed that as long as he stood in the graveyard, the zombies would lose sight of him. They could neither see what was happening in the graveyard nor enter it.

After a few minutes, they would become dazed again and wander aimlessly around the graveyard.

“This must be the so-called protection mechanism.”

The corner of Lin Ye’s mouth curved up. Taking advantage of the zombies which had walked away, his body was like a cunning rabbit. He quickly slipped out, grabbing the half disintegrated corpse and ran back in without looking back.

“Hehe—”

The two zombies that were closer seemed to have noticed the scent of humans and immediately charged over with bared fangs and brandished claws.

Fortunately, Lin Ye was fast enough. When the zombies were about to catch up, he successfully returned to the graveyard.

The two zombies were not so lucky. They crashed into the protective barrier around the graveyard and retreated with swollen faces.

In the end, they sniffed the lingering scent in the air in confusion, as if they couldn’t understand how their food disappeared.

“This is too exciting!”

In the graveyard, Lin Ye leaned against a tombstone, his heart beating fast.

So thrilling!

The harvest was quite gratifying. With the Intermediate Zombie Converter, the remaining half of the corpse rapidly disintegrated.

When the corpse completely disappeared, a ball of light that gave off a faint green glow appeared before his eyes.

At this moment, a notification came from the system.

“You have obtained a Zombie Soul.”

“Triggered 100xReward effect. 100 Zombie Souls obtained.”

“Good heavens. It really looks like a soul.”

Lin Ye approached the light and observed carefully.

One could vaguely see a shrunken little person imprisoned within this ball of light. Its appearance was 70% similar to when the zombie was alive.

However, the tiny being looked like it was in pain, as if it was being tortured continuously.

“It doesn’t matter which world you’re from. Since you’re dead, rest in peace,” Lin Ye said softly.

Following the instructions of the Civilization Archive, his finger touched the green ball of light and it instantly vanished, storing it in the book.

At the same time when he obtained the Zombie Soul, the interface of the resource and crafting page was unlocked.

Crafting Menu: Basic Bunker (Capable of recruiting native workers to build a camp)

“Congratulations, you have unlocked the quest, Lord of Graveyards. Please construct your personal bunker.”

“Reward Upon Completion: 4 Native Workers.”

“The construction materials required for the bunker are as follows: 500 Wood, 500 Stone, 1 Native Worker (Can be replaced with the Player), Blueprint of the Bunker (The initial 10 zombies converted will drop the blueprint)”

“Ah, so I have to convert ten of them to get the blueprint.”

Lin Ye gnashed his teeth and turned his gaze to the entrance.

Although he had enough Zombie Souls, the blueprint had yet to drop. The remaining nine zombie corpses were still lying outside.

If he wanted to pull them into the graveyard to convert them into Souls, he would have to either continue pulling them in secretly like before or kill all the zombies outside.

“It’s better to get rid of them all. I can’t take any more chances.”

Lin Ye was determined.

Even if the bullets were finished, there were always chances to create more.

But if he lost his life, it would be a loss of four lives! A devastating loss!

He stood at the entrance of the graveyard and made noise, attracting the attention of the 35 zombies that had been alerted by the gunshots earlier.

“Hehe—”

A group of zombies surrounded the graveyard and growled.

“Sorrowful souls from another world, I shall grant you rebirth.”

Lin Ye had a look of pity on his face. He raised his arm and fired.

Bang!

-100hp!

At such a close distance, the zombie that was baring its teeth at him suddenly died, looking peaceful in his death.

A few minutes later, after using 39 bullets, all 35 zombies were killed.

He wasted four shots because of the recoil.

He was a scholar without the strength to even truss a chicken. The first time he used a gun was this Desert Eagle and he had to fire dozens of consecutive shots!

If it was you, you would be in pain too!

After a while, Lin Ye squatted at the entrance and carefully observed his surroundings to make sure that there were no other zombies lurking around.

He carefully exited the graveyard and dragged the nine corpses in one by one. It tired him so much that he was panting.

“If I had known earlier, I would have chosen the first option. A hundred basic converters would mean that I can at least extend its range by a hundred times!”

Lin Ye was beyond himself with regrets.

If he had chosen the first option, he would not have such a problem.

The only thing worth being happy about was that the tenth zombie corpse finally dropped the blueprint of the bunker after it was converted.

In his resource page, there were 1000 Zombie Souls.

According to the exchange rate, ten was enough to construct the bunker.

Lin Ye was now considered a person who could speak louder since he was rich. He shouted, “System, exchange 500 Wood and 500 Stone.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of wood and stone appeared out of thin air at the center of the graveyard.

His fingers touched the blueprint of the bunker and various parts and tools dropped out. At the same time, he received a notification.

“Material collection completed. Do you wish to build a basic bunker?”

“Yes!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye felt as if he was possessed by a skilled craftsman. Numerous building experiences suddenly appeared in his mind, and he picked up the tools to quickly build a bunker.

Perhaps due to the buff of alien technology, the crude bunker, which was ten meters long and eight meters wide, was completed within an hour.

“Congratulations on completing the quest of constructing a bunker. Territory has increased tenfold. The mission reward is four basic native workers.”

With 100xReward, you can choose between:

1) 400 Basic Native Workers (Basic Native Workers can only carry corpses and utilize engineering blueprints which are Level One)

2) 4 Advanced Native Workers (Advanced Native Workers are capable of many kinds of projects and utilizing engineering blueprints which are Level Three and below)

“I choose option one!”

Lin Ye hurriedly spoke.

In the early stages, there was strength in numbers. The more people there were, the more efficient it would be.

With these 400 helpers, it would be much easier to transport zombies in the future.

Soon, a door of light appeared in the bunker.

The door of light flashed, and a burly man wearing animal skin clothes walked out.

After consecutively flashing for 400 times, the originally small graveyard became filled with people.

“This must be our Lord. I’m Native Worker One. On behalf of all the native workers, I swear to our Lord that as long as you provide us with lodging and food that we will willingly pledge our loyalty.”

While Lin Ye was still in a daze, an elderly indigenous man walked out from the shadows.

His accent was strange. It was clearly not any language that Lin Ye was familiar with, but he could understand it clearly.

At the same time, he received another quest from the system.

“Congratulations Player for gaining the loyalty of native workers. Please construct tents, fisheries, hunting grounds, and farms as soon as possible to increase their loyalty for you.”

“Construction methods can be found in blueprints in the bunker!”

“Hint: After three days, if you fail to satisfy the wishes of the native workers, they will betray you and escape back to the Underworld.”

Seeing the native workers’ eager eyes, Lin Ye patted his chest and promised, “Everyone, don’t worry. I’ll go find the blueprints now and fulfill your wishes as soon as possible!”

After saying that, he instructed ten native workers to move the remaining zombie corpses and ten others to search for treasure chests in their surrounding 1 kilometer.

The gunshots had attracted the attention of zombies nearby. The surroundings were relatively safe for the time being. With their help, it would save a lot of time.

The remaining 380 people stayed in the graveyard, awaiting orders.

Meanwhile, he walked straight into the bunker.
