An Alchemist Who Builds Shelters in the Apocalypse

Before the storm

Underground bunker of the Blue House.

While the president and three ministers were having a meeting, the chief of staff suddenly opened the door and came in.

“I think you should go out and see the president.”

“What happened?”

“I think you should see it for yourself.”

The president and his cabinet members all came out following the chief of staff.

“Red letters in the sky…”

At the words of the Minister of Education, people’s eyes turned to the sky.

—————————-

hello. It’s a one-time iron man. We would like to give you some important information.

First, Dark Eater appeared on June 11th

Second, on August 1, Iron Eaters appeared.

Dark Eaters eat all the food on earth, and Iron Eaters eat all iron except body components, so throw away all iron objects before August 1st.

Lastly, stay away from anyone except your family as there is a high chance of an Alpha Zombie appearing in groups of 5 or more.

PS Use animal cards among summoned animals for food (general recommendation)

—————————-

The voices of the ministers grew louder as they saw letters suddenly appearing in the sky.

“President, I also had to bring Seo Kang-joon!”

“you’re right. That might not be the only information you have.”

“The witch was right.

At the words of the Minister of Defense, the President’s gaze turned to the Chief of Staff.

“Contact the witch.”

“yes.”

When the chief secretary touched the crystal ball, a beautiful woman in her early 30s appeared.

-hello. everyone.

It was Seo Hye-jin from ‘The Husband of Oz’.

“Seo Hye-jin, now is the time to keep your promise.”

-Okay.

A woman wearing a see-through black hanbok came through the portal that opened next to the crystal ball.

“Why does everyone look at me like that? Is this your first time seeing a witch wearing a hanbok?”

Seo Hye-jin smiled and glanced at the ministers and soldiers.

“Oh, how many pieces of garbage can you see that shouldn’t be here?”

Seo Hye-jin recited an incantation in a small voice.

Then, a tree trunk rose from under the feet of the Minister of Education and the two soldiers guarding the bunker, and in an instant squeezed their bodies.

“What are you doing!”

“Are you crazy? I can’t identify friends and family correctly!”

All the soldiers’ guns were pointed at Seo Hye-jin’s head.

“Why would you do this? I just saved your life…”

Seo Hye-jin’s gaze turned to the president.

“Everyone lower your guns.”

At the president’s words, all the soldiers lowered their guns and looked at Seo Hye-jin.

“Why did you do that?”

The president’s voice was calm, unlike the others.

“Why? It must have been because he was a villain, right?”

Looking at Seo Hye-jin, who smiled casually and spoke, the ministers frowned.

“what···. It’s been so long since we’ve been together with the Minister of Education, but I’m definitely not that kind of person, so please let go!”

At the words of the Minister of National Defense, Seo Hye-jin approached the soldier tightly wrapped around the tree trunk.

“Look closely. everyone.”

When Seo Hye-jin pulled out the hairpin that was rolled up, her long hair flowed down.

“It will hurt a little.”

“town···.”

hooked!

When the hairpin was stuck in the soldier’s chest, Seo Hye-jin solved the spell.

Starting from the place where the hairpin was inserted, the soldier’s body instantly turned to ashes and fell to the floor.

People looked at Seo Hye-jin in bewilderment, but did not say anything.

hooked!

The body of another soldier also turned to ash and flowed down.

“Isn’t the person wearing the military uniform there, the Minister of Defense? Ask them directly.”

At Seo Hye-jin’s gesture, the tree trunk that covered the Minister of Education’s face disappeared.

“I am not a villain! Trust me, please release this!”

The Minister of Education shouted at the Minister of Defense with sad eyes.

“Let me ask you one thing. Why did you become a villain?”

“How many years have we been together, do you believe the words of that crazy b*tch you saw for the first time?”

The Minister of Defense wanted to believe his friend’s words, but he couldn’t. It was because the two soldiers were revealed as villains and Seo Hye-jin could not tell a lie that would soon be revealed.

“no way···. Your family too?”

The Minister of Defense’s face grew cold.

“Oh, no. I’m the only villain Families are not all. If you check with that woman, you will find out.”

When the family story came out, the Minister of Education revealed himself that he was the villain.

“Why?”

“Cancer. There are three months left.”

As soon as the words were finished, Seo Hye-jin stabbed the education minister in the heart.

“I heard the reason, okay? Please understand that I do not have time right now.”

Cruel but feeling he had no choice, the defense minister reluctantly nodded.

“Seo Hye-jin, I have a question for you.”

“ask.”

“Why did you build an iron fence in Doksan instead of calling Seo Kang-joon, a ‘one-time iron man’?”

Seo Hye-jin paused for a while before opening her mouth.

“To talk about it, it’s really long, but I don’t have time, so I’ll keep it brief.”

Since it was something everyone was curious about, everyone focused on Seo Hye-jin’s words.

“Seo Kang-joon has to grow up quickly in order to end the apocalypse. Ask the Chief Secretary for details.”

All eyes turned to the chief of staff.

“That will be spoken by the President himself in the conference room in a moment.”

“Then, I will tell you the next prophecy.”

Upon hearing the witch’s next prophecy, the faces of the president and ministers hardened.

***

We shared the necessary information.

“what···. When did Seo Kang-joon come!”

“just now. Raoul, was the tower built?”

“Yeah, that’s it!”

“Let’s go up.”

Picked up all the essences in the square.

[You have acquired 15 Essence of Strength.]

[You have acquired 14 Essence of Agility.]

[You have acquired 18 Essence of Stamina.]

The number of collected essences was smaller than expected.

Move to Sema Land.

wow, wow!

As soon as I opened the roof, I hugged Kongi, who rushed at me, and went next to Ilena, who was on guard duty with No. 2.

“Master, you are here.”

“Yes, is the tower usable?”

“hmm···. It’s okay.”

It was a lukewarm response.

“Let’s test it. Don’t catch those who come nearby.”

“Yes, Master.”

I stood still and watched the tower work.

Tung!

The arrow pierced the shoulder of an approaching zombie.

Tung!

An arrow flew towards the same zombie from the next tower.

“So absurd.”

It fires accurately at the target, but the tower’s target was the whole zombie, not its weak point, the head.

“I’m sorry, Master… To be honest, the tower doesn’t seem to help at all.”

“Iknow, right.”

Like Ilena said, the tower doesn’t help at all.

There are many ways to solve the problem, but there are two ways to solve it right now.

Building a command tower by strengthening the tower to a rarity grade and registering its weakness.

Or building a tower dedicated to zombies.

In the former case, building one tower as a command tower has the advantage of being applied to all towers, but the price is too high because it is rare.

In the case of the latter, the tower itself detects the zombie’s weakness and shoots arrows, so the speed is reduced by 10%.

You decide to reinforce the tower and check the cost of the enhancement.

[Requires 2,500 coins.]

I also thought about drawing it through the research center, but considering the cost of drawing and the materials needed to build it, strengthening it works cheaply.

I currently have about 2,400 coins.

＜Integer Decomposition＞

[You have acquired 120 coins.]

That’s enough.

He stretched out his hand toward the eastern tower.

＜Rating Enhancement＞

Black energy radiated from the hand and enveloped the tower.

[2,500 coins have been consumed.]

The tower, which had an arrow hole in the wooden building, began to change.

[Enhancement succeeded.]

The hole where the arrow was shot was gone, and a crackling orb of lightning was born.

*Lightning Tower.

[Rating]: Advanced.

[Classification]: Magic – Auxiliary

[Description]: A tower that fires chain lightning using magic spheres. Although the destructive power is low, it has the effect of stiffening the target with a certain probability.

[Function]: Attack enemies with lightning.

– Lightning bounces up to 5 times.

– Weak destructive power.

– Stiffens the target on hit.

-Activates once every 20 seconds.

-2 coins are consumed at once.

It’s good to fire lightning powerful enough to burn the zombie’s brain from the rare level, but now it’s not necessary because it can only stiffen.

Still, I reached out my hand in hopes that I could collect and strengthen it with 5,000 coins.

[Requires 12,500 coins.]

I knew it.

I’m sorry but I can’t help it.

Touched reset description.

[You learned the reset skill.]

I reached out to the tower again.

[100 crystals have been consumed.]

The shape of the tower has been changed to resemble the base tower again.

[Reset succeeded.]

[Lightning Tower -＞ Changed to Poison Tower.]

The poison tower is also useless now.

I stretched out my hand once again.

[100 crystals have been consumed.]

[Reset succeeded.]

[Poison Tower -＞ Changed to Zombie Tower (Physical).]

The shape of the tower has been changed, resulting in a tower with a slightly larger hole than the default tower.

“Whew, I’m glad.”

*Zombie Tower (Physical)

[Rating]: Advanced.

[Classification]: Zombie-Physical

[Description]: A tower that only attacks zombies. It has a slower rate of fire than the basic tower.

[Function]: Fires 1 arrow.

– Weak destructive power.

-Only zombies can attack.

-Activates once every 33 seconds.

-1 coin per arrow.

I took an enhancement stone from my pocket and strengthened the tower.

[Enhancement succeeded.]

[Enhancement succeeded.]

[Enhancement succeeded.]

Fire rate increased by 60% from 33 seconds to 20 seconds.

Tung!

The arrow fired from the reinforced zombie tower pierced the zombie’s head.

“Is it useful now?”

“Yes, Master.”

I want to change all the other 3 towers, but I don’t have enough coins.

‘Where do I not spill coins?’

From stats to towers to items to the body… Coins are too short.

I think I should choose a mystery that increases the chance of acquiring an item as a reward for 1st place in the wave.

‘Is the junior guy doing well?’

Check your watch.

It’s already past 2pm.

My junior said he would come by 5:00.

Yuharin will come in an hour or two.

“Then see you later. Miss Elena.”

“Yes, Master.”

Go to sperm.

I took out the 3 summon cards I received as a reward from my inventory. Two were normal and one was advanced.

“What will you give me if I special disassemble it?”

I put my hand on a normal card.

＜Special disassembly＞

[You have acquired 100 crystals.]

Coins were given when disassembling real objects, but crystals came out when disassembling the item.

‘It’s fine.’

On the 1st floor, I could only buy 100 crystals a day, which was not enough, but it was fortunate that I could get them through ＜Special Decomposition＞.

Maybe the higher end will give you more. First of all, defense comes first, so let’s summon them all.

[You have acquired the Prairie Wild Boar card.]

[You have obtained the Luminous Slime Card.]

not bad.

Slime cards can be used as a substitute for flashlights, and wild boar cards are collection card materials that give food.

I need two more for the collection effect, but it didn’t matter because I’ll get them before going up to the 2nd floor of the Tower of Salvation.

‘I’ve done everything I need now.’

“Ilena-sama, from now on, go around Doksan Castle and collect as many essences as possible.”

“Yes, Master.”

Move out of the shelter.

Awesome!

A zombie fell with every swing of the sword.

[The slayer buff has been activated.]

[Physical ability has increased by 10%.]

I used the slayer buff to hunt until 4 o’clock and returned to the base to break the essence needed for leveling up.

[The level has risen.]

[The reward has arrived.]

1. 2,000 coins.

2. Construction Package (Advanced)

3. Summons Card (Advanced)

4. Leg reinforcement package.

[Job Reward]: Grade Enhancement (Advanced)

The long awaited reward has finally arrived.
