"Ding! Congratulations on completing the game. The "Divine Shelter" system is officially activated!"

"Ding! System activation successful, host binding successful, attribute panel automatically generating..."

"Ding! Congratulations on receiving a Newbie Gift Pack!"

.....

Dongjiang City

Inside a dilapidated rental house. A handsome youth was staring at his phone, his face filled with shock.

His name was Ji Yan, 21 years old, an ordinary university student. Three months ago, a doomsday game suddenly appeared on his phone.

This was a simulation game centered around managing a shelter and struggling to survive in the apocalypse.

Ji Yan didn't take it too seriously. Out of boredom, he started playing and spent three months to completely finish it.

But after completing the game, a mechanical prompt sound appeared in his mind, and at the same time, a virtual panel appeared before him.

"Novice Gift Pack: AI, 10,000 cores, one satellite-grade shelter"

"What is this? Am i dreaming!?"

Ji Yan was dumbfounded, unable to believe it for a long time.

No way, the game he played actually became real?

"Master, there's no need to doubt, this is not an illusion," the system AI reminded him. "Everything that happened in the game will gradually descend into reality. You still have half a month to prepare. Would you like to claim the Novice Gift Pack now?"

"Hiss!"

Ji Yan gasped, a strange tension rising in his heart.

The game really came true, which means the apocalypse isn't far off?

He remembered that at the beginning of the game, a meteorite struck the Blue Star, causing a global earthquake and tsunami.

Immediately after, solar flares erupted, global temperatures rose, and icebergs began to melt!

Seven days later, a mysterious virus leaked from a Nordic laboratory, and a zombie storm swept across the globe.

Subsequently, rising sea levels, nuclear power plant explosions, nuclear radiation pollution, and an ice age, among other crises, appeared one after another, threatening billions of people worldwide.

If all of this truly replayed in reality, it would be no laughing matter.

"Fortunately, there's still time to prepare."

Ji Yan secretly rejoiced, while also looking at the Novice Gift Pack.

An AI, 10,000 cores, and a satellite-grade shelter were his starting trump cards.

These three were all good things. The AI, of course, goes without saying. It was a god of networks with super computational capabilities, able to handle various complex matters, definitely a great help for a doomsday shelter.

10,000 cores were also a fortune.

They were high-purity energy crystals born within zombies!

Not only were they a very special and powerful energy source, but they were also widely used in the upgrading and maintenance of various shelter equipment.

As for the satellite-grade shelter, it was no simple matter!

It was a basic shelter in the game, appearing as a rhombic cylinder, 488 meters in diameter, 185 meters high, with 45 floors, deeply buried underground, possessing complete survival facilities, capable of supporting 100,000 people for long-term survival.

Its outer walls were made of 3-meter-thick high-strength steel, capable of defending against nuclear bomb attacks and resisting magnitude 12 earthquakes. It was definitely an underground city costing over a hundred billion.

In the game, Ji Yan had built hundreds of these shelters!

When the Blue Star collapsed in the late stages of the apocalypse, the super stellar shelters, composed of hundreds of underground cities, would become humanity's last living space.

What he needed to do now was to quickly manage this initial structure.

"Claim Novice Gift Pack!" Ji Yan commanded in his mind.

"Ding! Command received, Novice Gift Pack claiming..."

"Congratulations, Master, you have obtained an AI, 10,000 cores, and one satellite-grade shelter."

"Ding! Satellite-grade shelter location selection successful, manifestation successful, signal shielding activated..."

"Ding! AI Super Brain Host activated, ownership program completed..."

A series of system prompts flashed continuously.

In a desolate area of the East City District, a sudden mist enveloped the surroundings.

Immediately after, a ground-shaking tremor came from within the mist.

It was as if a colossal object had emerged from underground, and some reinforced concrete structures appeared on the surface, as if they had always been there, without alarming anyone.

At the same time, the global network paused for 0.1 seconds!

A powerful stream of data scrambled the network within that 0.1 seconds.

Billions of data points and firewalls hidden in the vast network were quickly cracked.

A groundbreaking AI was born silently in a corner, effortlessly taking control of many network permissions.

"Beep! Primary AI Adam greets you, my Master!"

Ji Yan's computer in his room was immediately controlled by a stream of scrambled code.

A data-formed human face, with his eyes opened and closed, emitting a mechanical voice.

Ji Yan was not unfamiliar with this; Adam was a primary AI in the game, possessing extremely powerful computational capabilities and absolute loyalty, an indispensable auxiliary program for shelter managers.

"Adam, confirm the exact location of the shelter," Ji Yan instructed.

"Yes!" Adam replied. "Shelter A1 is located 26 kilometers from the East City District of Dongjiang City. Auto-navigation has been activated. The main body of this AI is located on the 36th floor, Section B, in the Superbrain Computer Control Room of the shelter, and has currently taken over all control permissions of the shelter."

"Check the specific status of the shelter," Ji Yan instructed again.

"Yes! Self-check program initiated!" Adam continued, "The main structure of Shelter A1 has an integrity of 93%. It is currently operating under a low-energy consumption program. Three small nuclear power units are 64% damaged. The energy storage center's reserves are only 12% remaining. The air purification and freshwater filtration equipment is 37% damaged."

"The anti-air firepower network lacks weapon allocation. The armory production line is shut down. The material warehouse inventory is zero. Weapon and ammunition reserves are zero!"

"The android base is shut down. The waste disposal center is 17% damaged. The living area's cultivation and breeding farms are shut down..."

A series of detailed information kept popping up.

Adam's monitoring results clearly showed everything.

Ji Yan glanced at it, and his expression immediately became gloomy.

So, he had taken over an empty shell of a shelter?
