Kingdom of Corrosion
Chapter 478 - 245 Doomsday Fortress

One of the drawbacks of the Container Base was just that, the base only had a road at the southern gate. Outside the south gate was a 20-square-meter platform, with only two parking spaces. In the event of a zombie siege, the two cars parked outside would have no chance of escape.

Inside the secure zone of the Container Base, this was the only spot where parking was possible. Although parking outside the secure area was feasible, as zombies would not damage the vehicles, other players could steal them. Even though player density was sparse, such an incident could happen.

After returning to the Container Base, Maya carried out a series of personnel operations. Snow Egg and Little Knife became baseless personnel and could only rejoin Shadow Base after returning to the Sawmill.

Peanut drove to pick up Dashuang and incidentally took over the substation.

Lin Wu used his drone to scout the surroundings, focusing on the warehouse and residential area of the dock road.

Maya discussed alliance matters with Starlight.

After sending away Starlight and the other two, Maya held a small meeting to choose a name for the base. Lin Wu’s suggestion of Bright Base was immediately shot down by Maya. Since the base was bordered by the river to the left and the sea to the right, Peanut suggested naming it Sun Moon Base. Dashuang argued that a name like XX Base was too common, but Sun Moon Land, Sun Moon Lake, Sun Moon Base, Sun Moon Fortress all sounded good.

Lin Wu suggested, "Sun Moon Sect, Sun Moon Clan, Sun Moon Cult."

Peanut was moved and blurted out, "Sun Moon Divine Cult, Civilization and Martial Virtue." Where had he heard this phrase before?

Seeing the discussion going off track, Maya asked, "What about Doomsday Fortress?"

"Good, good," the three name-debaters immediately agreed.

Next came the vigorous base-building work. Men’s and women’s dormitories, a kitchen, a medical room, a bathhouse, a restroom, a production room, a billiards room, an electronic entertainment room, a table tennis room, and more – useful or not, all were arranged. There were 18 small compartments to do with as they wished.

In addition to facilities that could be built directly, there were also those that required specific conditions to construct. Maya made a checklist based on needs for everyone to pay more attention to in their daily life.

There was a library that required books, a cinema that needed collecting movie posters, and a bathhouse that required a hot spring outpost.

Both large and small compartments could be turned into movie screening rooms. A small compartment screening room could accommodate 6 people, which was very inconvenient compared to a large compartment cinema. First, movie posters needed to be collected before a screening room could be built, and secondly, there were no movie resources in the screening room. One had to continue collecting posters to watch movies. Each poster could unlock the corresponding film.

The small compartments were not as good as the large ones, but they had their unique features. With water and electricity, a farmer could build a hydroponics room to grow crops, with a yield of about 40% of a large farm. An open small compartment could be turned into a garden for cultivating various flowers, herbs, and tobacco. With water, one could also build a fish pond. In addition, there were gyms, tennis rooms, and more.

Lin Wu and his team got whatever they wanted. Maya built whatever they fancied in the small compartments, as they currently did not lack building materials. The problem was with the two large compartments. One open-air large compartment at the top of the southern end of the base was most suitable for a watchtower. However, players standing at the top could directly shoot down at Shanghai Dike Road below, so it seemed that the only purpose of the watchtower was to reduce the Threat Value.

Another large indoor compartment was at the center of the first floor, originally under the platform of Blood Heart, now the command post. It was a large room formed by connecting four stacked containers.

After much deliberation, Lin Wu and the others couldn’t come up with any concrete ideas, so they built a watchtower on the top floor. As for the remaining indoor large compartment, Lin Wu and the others had no clue, leaving the headache to Maya.

After the meeting, Lin Wu and Peanut went to the newly built production room, where they worked on developing a boat. Unfortunately, crafting a small sailboat required a lot of steel and canvas and could only be made by engineers. Making a fishing rod was relatively simple, but the storage was poor, lacking even the most basic junk.

Dashuang then climbed the newly completed watchtower, and instantly fell in love with the place – the view was just too beautiful. To the west, they could see Left County River flowing into the sea, its body translucent like an emerald. To the east lay the vast sea, where the sky merged with the water and seabirds soared, a sight so refreshing it loosened the mind and spirit.

Dashuang took out the leftover half bag of fries from his backpack, held out a fry beyond the watchtower’s edge. He quietly waited for a moment before a seagull swooped in, grabbed the fry, and soared up high.

At the appointed time, the alliance mission officially began. Shadow, using the Road Star, rushed to deliver the Doomsday Fortress badge to the Shadow warehouse. After Lin Wu received the Shadow token, he used his drone to deliver the badge to Doomsday Fortress, where Maya stored the token in the warehouse. The task took eight minutes, with Doomsday Fortress contributing all the manpower, while Shadow Base contributed one manpower, and both sides successfully formed an alliance.

In the afternoon, Shadow Base sent over iron, cloth, and other basic materials, along with some furniture. There were single-seat rocking armchairs, beach chairs, mahjong tables, and more. Additionally, there were items like mahjong sets, playing cards, soy sauce, salt, chips, biscuits, and of course, medical supplies like Serum and painkillers.

Although the distance between the two bases was a bit far, the road was sparsely populated with zombies, and it took about 10 minutes to reach the other base by car under normal circumstances. Limited by gasoline, the miser Stone issued a rule of not visiting unless necessary. If a member wanted to switch to living at a different base, they could directly apply to the leaders for permission.
