Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Energy Shield
The farms they mentioned were just a childhood game back then.

Playing as farm owners, they planted various fruits and vegetables, and even stole crops from friends.

It was a memory of a generation.

In primary and middle school, when they first encountered computers, Alex, who eagerly watched his chubby neighbor play games, naturally couldn’t understand Mia and Olivia’s discussions about those childhood memories.

What Ice Climber, Gold Miner?

Alex’s childhood was more about skipping stones and helping out at his uncle’s farm.

Alex pondered for a moment and interrupted Mia and Olivia.

“So, according to you guys, this ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’ is probably for increasing yield or improving the taste of fruits and vegetables, not really related to hastening growth?”

Mia and Olivia nodded.

“That’s what we think.”

“Well, that’s too bad.”

Alex was somewhat disappointed.

He had previously thought that this ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’ would accelerate growth.

If it increased yield, it wouldn’t be a big deal; it wouldn’t mean much to them.

After all, they had plenty of seeds to spare.

Mia took hold of Alex’s arm.

“Come on, increased yield isn’t bad either. We can eat more vegetables every day. Besides, didn’t we also get two hundred pounds of fresh prime beef from the platinum-level supply crate? We’ll make steak for you tonight.”

Alex stroked Mia’s hair, dispelling negative emotions.

“Alright, let’s have steak tonight, and eat our fill!”

“Then we’ll go cook.”

Mia and Olivia got up.

Now, it was already dinner time at sunset.

“You just sit tight and wait for steak!”

Alex chuckled.

“Okay, okay, I’ll wait for steak.”

He sat on the sofa, bored, feeling as if there was a thorn in his heart, making him restless.

No!

I have to go check!

Alex ran back to the underground bunker, wanting to try the ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’ again.

He couldn’t accept it.

Was the gold-level supply really just fertilizer for increased yield?

That didn’t make sense!

Walking into the planting area, Alex blurted out, “Oh my god!”

The seed that had been dripped with two drops of ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’ had now grown into a lush lettuce.

Meanwhile, the seeds buried in the soil at the same time remained unchanged.

What was this? It was nothing short of a miracle to describe this phenomenon that directly violated the laws of growth.

Muttering to himself, Alex exclaimed, “Amazing! Incredible!”

He was shocked.

He knew that a gold-level supply couldn’t be so mediocre.

Just increasing yield and improving the taste of fruits and vegetables seemed too perfunctory.

Alex took out the full bottle of ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’.

Two drops at a time, wouldn’t it last for a year or more?

He then carefully dropped the solution onto other seeds using a dropper.

This time, Alex patiently sat in the planting area.

Finally, after ten minutes, he witnessed the entire process of seeds sprouting, growing leaves, and maturing in a very short time.

Alex plucked out a few lettuces, still feeling excited.

“I declare, the experiment with the ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’ is a success!”

Holding the lettuce, he ran upstairs excitedly, shouting to Mia and Olivia, “We’re having lettuce tonight…”

…

Truly worthy of a platinum-level supply crate.

After Alex’s experiment, it could be said that every item opened was extremely useful.

The ‘Energy Shield’ ensured the safety of the three in the shelter.

Combined with the upgraded S-alloy walls and the automated defense system, their shelter could be described as impregnable.

The ‘Water Purifier Blueprint’ could be used to produce large-scale water purifiers repeatedly, which could be sold to other survivors.

This was a necessity for others.

After all, they weren’t like Alex, who had unlimited mineral water.

Even though Alex’s prices on the trading platform were high, people started buying them one after another.

This would be Alex’s main source of income for a long time.

The ‘Fruit and Vegetable Cultivation Solution’, once considered the most mediocre gold-level supply by Alex, Mia, and Olivia, turned out to be the most surprising.

Just by dripping two drops of the solution, fruits and vegetables could mature in ten minutes from unsprouted seeds.

This power was nothing short of miraculous.

It could be said that this was the most valuable gold-level supply.

…

In addition to this, Alex also took the sheriff’s declaration of war to heart and began preparing.

Although they hadn’t officially started fighting yet, he could already smell the scent of crisis.

This time, the sheriff meant business.

He didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest.

The first thing that needed to be done was to activate the ‘Energy Shield’ to protect the entire shelter.

The ‘Energy Shield’, as the only platinum-level supply, had enormous strategic significance.

Just the fact that it could be charged through various natural energies was already incredible.

This meant that there was no need to worry about insufficient energy.

Even if there was no natural energy, it could still be charged…

Alex took out the ‘Energy Shield’ from his backpack and began setting it up.

“Dear survivor, do you want to activate the Energy Shield?”

[Yes/No]

With anticipation, Alex clicked the “Yes” button.

This was still his first time obtaining a platinum-level supply.

The excitement he felt was reminiscent of the last time he acquired ‘Barrier Walls’ from the auction house.

First gold-level item, first platinum-level item.

Alex was quite looking forward to seeing what the ‘Energy Shield’ could do as a platinum-level item.

“The Energy Shield is being constructed. Charging will be completed in seventy-two hours.”

This time, constructing the ‘Energy Shield’ surprisingly didn’t require any building materials, and it was successfully placed.

But the seventy-two-hour charging time was giving Alex a headache.

Every moment was tense now.

He couldn’t afford to wait seventy-two hours.

It was possible that the sheriff would attack tomorrow or even tonight.

Alex didn’t think the sheriff would play fair.

He probably wanted nothing more than to eliminate Alex by any means necessary.

Alex asked the shelter’s AI assistant, “Is there any way to reduce the charging time of the ‘Energy Shield’?”

The AI assistant heard the question and made a beep sound.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t catch what you said just now, could you repeat that?”

Alex’s lips trembled slightly.

Taking a sharp breath, he gritted his teeth and spoke slowly and deliberately, trying to sound calm and composed, “I said, I want to reduce the charging time of the ‘Energy Shield’.”

The AI assistant quickly responded, “Okay, I’ll search for that for you, please wait.”

Soon after, the AI assistant provided an answer.

This answer made Alex curse the system as a swindler.
