An Alchemist Who Builds Shelters in the Apocalypse

Chapter 36

Sema Station Fortress

It took more than an hour to clear the road and come back in 10 minutes.

“great job. Black, with the body.”

As the queen disappeared, Black, who had turned into a cat, sat on my shoulder.

-Nyan!

“Everyone get off.”

Arrive in front of the fort.

Lee Soo-ho came out to meet me.

“You really did.”

“thank you. Iron Man!”

“Long live the iron man!”

Suho Lee and people came up to me and thanked me.

“no. How many more did you save than that?”

“If you find 50 more people, the rarity level will be confirmed.”

Fortunately, while I was gone, Suho Lee saved quite a few people.

“There are many survivors on the bus, so please call everyone outside.”

The moment you reach 500, you can ask the manager to build a fortress right away.

This was because it was the highest grade that could be reached as a temporary fortress.

“All right.”

I helped people get off the bus while Suho Lee went inside and gathered people.

‘Black, please tidy up the surroundings. And the fortress will be built, so don’t approach within a 200m radius of the fortress in a state of immortality until I call.’

-Nyan!

Black, which had turned into fog, had disappeared and an armored car was approaching the fort.

There were three people in the armored vehicle, all of whom were awakened, including Kim Jin-ho.

“Iron man!”

The armored car stopped and Kim Jin-ho ran to me.

“hello. Jinho Kim.”

“Thank you for waking me up and thanking you for helping people like this.”

“What. It looks like they are on a rescue mission.”

“no. Currently, we are repairing the road according to the orders of company commander Lee Su-ho.”

Judging from the fact that he was discharged as a company commander, it seems that Suho Lee is from ROTC.

“I was going to ask Lee Suho for that. Good for you.”

“Ha ha, yes. Then I will go.”

Kim Jin-ho saluted me and went back to the armored car, and after a while Lee Su-ho came out with the people.

“Everything came out. Iron man.”

“Okay, then wait a minute.”

I moved to the manager with the people who got off the bus.

“Everyone register as a resident.”

People have all registered.

“Have you satisfied the conditions for a rare grade fortress?”

“Yes. A total of 542 people. So, are you going to build it right away?”

“Yes, please.”

“It takes about 30 minutes.”

When the fort manager reached out to the wall, the wall was enveloped in light.

“It looks like a really rare grade fortress is coming. It’s all thanks to Iron Man.”

“no. It’s all thanks to working together.”

It was true. Because it was a daunting task for me to do alone.

“What do you plan to do now?”

“First of all, we have to stabilize Osan City and go to eliminate the villains in the surrounding cities.”

“What can I do?”

“You just have to do it like now.”

To be honest, Suho Lee did a much better job than I expected.

The car from City Hall has already turned into a temporary clinic, and patients are entering along with doctors and nurses.

Seeing people with guns standing guard behind the gathered residents.

“hahahaha, that’s too much praise.”

“It’s too much. Seeing that people are placed in the right places, you have extraordinary abilities.”

“hahahaha, is that so?”

Suho Lee grabs his neck and smiles as if he is embarrassed.

“Yes, I look forward to seeing you in the future. And have you been to the Tower of Salvation?”

“No, I haven’t gone yet.”

It was fortunate.

“Good for you. Then, when the situation is settled here, come with me.”

“Is that okay?”

“Yes, you can move up to 5 people at a time, so please call 3 more trustworthy people.”

“all right.”

After 30 minutes, the membrane that surrounded the fortress disappeared.

“Take the people in first.”

“all right.”

After Lee Soo-ho and everyone went in, I went to the fort manager.

“How big is the fort?”

“It’s two square kilometers.”

This is large enough to accommodate 500 people.

Behind the castle gate, there was a surveillance tower that could monitor the villains, a zombie tower optimized for hunting zombies, and a ballista tower built one by one.

“How many towers are there?”

“There are 4 guards, 12 zombies, and 6 ballistas installed.”

“yes.”

With this number of towers and one armored vehicle, if you bring a tank from City Hall, there seems to be no threat except for the wave.

“Is the achievement shop open?”

“It’s open, do you want to use it?”

“yes.”

From noble mtl dot com.

When the merchant snapped his fingers, the achievement shop floated in front of his eyes.

[Summoned] [Item] [Building] [Merchant] [Expansion] [Level up] [Research]

“Please show me your position first.”

1. Market: Use Achievement 20,000P

2. Head of Research: Use achievement 5,000P

3. Chief of Security: Use Achievement 5,000P

4. Permanent Citizenship: Use Achievement 400P

[Possessed Points 21,312]

“If I get the position of mayor, I can appoint the head of the research office and the chief of security, right?”

“That’s right, keep in mind that the market automatically changes to the person who used the achievement points the most.”

I took 3 fortress essences from my inventory and handed them to the caretaker.

[Acquired 9,000 points.]

“Show me the building.”

[Internal government building] [Defense building] [Tower]

Choose an internal building.

1. Lab [5,000P]

2. Watch [5,000P]

3. Private House [1,000P]

4. 3-story building [3,000P]

5. Inn [1,000P]

…

“Can I see other people’s achievements?”

“You can see it on the achievement board in the town square.”

It seemed that I had to build some of the buildings needed for the fortress. In addition to receiving market compensation.

“Give me a research institute, city hall, three three-story buildings, one private house, and one inn.”

[21,000 points have been consumed.]

[You have obtained the position of Mayor.]

“Choose where you want.”

In front of my eyes, the fortress appeared in 3D, split into 1 square meter units, and people were dotted with dots.

I dragged the city hall building in the bottom right corner of the screen and put it next to the plaza, and the dots scattered in all directions.

“If you raise a building, people will avoid it on their own, so don’t worry.”

“yes.”

City Hall, a three-story building, and an inn were built around the plaza, private residences were built to the northwest, and research institutes were built to the northeast.

This is enough to finish the building necessary in the beginning.

Select the NPCs tab.

[Select an NPC to invite.]

1. General Goods Merchant [2,000P]

2. Weapon Merchant [2,000P]

3. Armor Merchant [2,000P]

4. Food Merchant [50,000P]

As expected, the most important food merchant was so expensive that summoning itself was impossible.

[6,000 points have been consumed.]

[The General Goods Merchant has arrived.]

[The arms dealer has arrived.]

[The Armor Merchant has arrived.]

Before entering the fort, turn on the cognitive impairment and go to the plaza.

“Wow, iron man, look at your achievement score.”

“Iknow, right. Even if you add all the rest of the rankings together, you’re not even half of the iron man.”

I sneaked up and checked my achievement score.

1st place with 19,312 points.

2nd place Cheol-Young Lee with 1,312 points.

3rd Kim Sang-ho 1,212 points

4th Park Soo-young with 1,182 points.

5th place Harin Yu, 1,032 points.

…

31st Lee Soo-ho, 613 points.

36th Kim Jin-ho, 512 points.

The 2nd to 4th places were people I didn’t know, and it was surprising that Yoo Harin was in 5th place.

I left the bulletin board and used Blink to sneak into City Hall.

The space of the city hall was about 100 square meters and was surrounded by walls about 3 meters on all sides.

Inside, a garden was created, and a three-story building was built at the end of one wall.

As I entered City Hall, a message appeared in front of my eyes.

[Appoint the head of the research department.]

[Appoint the chief of security.]

[Appoint the chief secretary.]

I went up to the second floor, moved to the mayor’s office, and sat down in a chair.

Suho Lee was appointed as the chief of security.

[The chief of security has been appointed.]

When I pushed back the chair and pressed the call manager during the mayor’s function, Lee Soo-ho entered the mayor’s office after a while.

“Iron man. Should I call you Mayor now?”

“No, just call me Seo Kang-joon.”

“You’re my boss now, but I can’t call you by name.”

Lee Soo-ho with a determined expression. Come to think of it, Lee Suho’s words weren’t wrong.

“Do whatever you feel comfortable with, and recommend a head of research.”

At my question, Suho Lee touched his chin and fell into trouble.

“Can you entrust me with such an important task?”

“sure. I believe in Lee Soo-ho.”

To be honest, it would be best if I interviewed and selected myself, but I don’t have the time to interview people one by one.

“I am grateful that you appointed me as the head of the security office, but to have such trust is truly undeserved.”

“I believe you are doing so well. It’s not urgent, so think about it slowly and tell me next time.”

“All right.”

Except for treating me as if he cared too much, Lee Soo-ho met the qualifications I wanted for chief of security.

“Oh, and we plan to build a housing complex in the northwest and an internal administration building in the northeast.”

“all right.”

“If you go to the housing complex, there will be a private house built, so you can use it as you like.”

“That is too much. Mayor.”

To be honest, compared to what Lee Suho had to do in the future, this was nothing. The horse is the Chief of Security, because he is the one who should be in charge of all aspects of the fortress.

“I couldn’t pay attention to the fortress, so Suho Lee will have to do everything from now on. It is a gift, so do not burden yourself.”

“still···.”

“I’m asking you to be the mayor, so don’t refuse.”

“all right.”

When Suho Lee reluctantly accepted, he handed over ownership of the house to Suho Lee.

“thank you. Mayor, I will work harder.”

People are so embarrassing.

“greatness. Then take care of yourself.”

“Okay, then let’s go out.”

There’s only one thing left to do now.

Exit City Hall and go to the Weapon Shop.

“Show me something.”

“Available only for purchase now.”

I knew it. When I came back to the fort entrance, the caretaker looked at me.

“Manager, I’ll give you a seat on the third floor of a commercial building instead of here. Could you please stay there?”

“I can’t do any defense for the fortress, I can only open the achievement shop, is that okay?”

“sure. That is enough.”

By default, the fortress manager leaves after only one hour at the end of the wave, except for the first day of the fortress.

[The fortress manager’s affinity for you has increased by 20.]

[The manager visits the fortress once every three days.]

However, if you raise your affinity with the manager like this, you will visit more and more often, and if you reach 100, you will visit once a day.

‘That’s great.’

The reason was this. From the moment the fortress is entered, the zombies give a fortress essence piece with a certain probability, through which the fortress can be developed.

And it was the role of the fortress manager to buy fortress pieces and build or upgrade fortress-related buildings.

After the first wave, the waves occur periodically, once a week.

Therefore, merchants who used to come every week came every three days, so it was a huge benefit.

“thank you. I’ll use the achievement shop.”

“I know.”
