News of a newly promoted Flame Priest from the Burning Fortress defecting has already spread among the wasteland factions. Furthermore, a Burning Fortress supply transport convoy was robbed yesterday, threatening the Fortress's authority in the wasteland.
Many wasteland factions are growing restless.
[Black Lung] Victor has also noticed this phenomenon. He needs to reaffirm the Burning Fortress's dominance over the wasteland.

The Saint of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association — Jiu Feng — has noticed that the path he was following seems to have deviated slightly.
He discovered that the path of Saint Moga was actually the correct one.
This is because he found that the [Concealment] Rat created by Saint Moga actually possesses the potential to advance further. Combined with the sacrificial ritual from the [Orthodox Church] discovered by Zoe, a new world has opened its doors to him.
"Spirituality, what exactly is spirituality! It is truly too miraculous. My exploration of it hasn't even reached 1%. What other wondrous effects does it have? I really want to know! What Moga could achieve, I can achieve too, and I will do it even better than him."

The 'Humpback Whale' from the Breaker Sea, while observing the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, detected the appearance of a new spiritual creature in District 1 of the eastern city.
Furthermore, someone witnessed with their own eyes a humanoid creature with the appearance of a gray wolf, sprinting at midnight.
A preacher accompanying the "Humpback Whale," upon seeing this scene, exclaimed "Werewolf!"
and relayed this message.
"A Werewolf actually appeared here? That's utterly unbelievable. This is a legendary spiritual creature. We must capture him, we absolutely must!"

Yu Yuan held the newspaper and went to the whiteboard to record the information.
"The Burning Fortress is very likely to make some major move recently. This is worth keeping an eye on..."
"That Giant Mutant Rat's evaluation is so high! The threat level is even greater now!"
"Is the Humpback Whale also targeting Hogg? I hope they don't ruin my plans... Or maybe I should figure out a way to divert this disaster eastward?"
While pondering, Yu Yuan checked the extra items refreshed for the day.
It was actually a mechanical arm blueprint, which directly cost him 1000 survival points.
But the survival points weren't wasted. This mechanical arm blueprint was directly absorbed by the Workbench and added to the production list.
[Mechanical Bionic Arm]
Quality: Bronze
Production Requirements: Workbench Level 4, Mechanical Laboratory ×1
Production Materials: Carbon Nanotubes, Electroactive Polymers...
Looking at the over twenty types of production materials on the list, Yu Yuan understood that this arm was beyond his current reach.
This suddenly reminded him of the two mechanical modifiers mentioned in the previous news about the Thug Prison.
He wondered how the arms of those two mechanical modifiers differed from this bionic arm.
Yu Yuan thought this was a pretty good idea. He could let Masier take a look later. She enjoys researching these things and might just figure something out.
Afterwards, Yu Yuan browsed the Taotao Hole, placing requests to purchase some of the construction materials he would need next.
For example, materials for building the Underground Ecological Farm. He had been too busy these past few days, so it was best to buy whatever materials he could with survival points.
Next was checking the items in the Auction House, a habit he had developed over the past few days. Here, it wasn't just about financial strength, but also about speed and luck.
Several times before, Yu Yuan had seen items he fancied but was always a step too slow, missing out on them.
Just as he refreshed the page, a newly listed item immediately caught his attention.
[Geothermal Well Plate Heat Exchanger Room Blueprint]
Quality: Silver
Description: Construct a direct utilization room for geothermal energy, enabling medium-to-low temperature applications of geothermal heat, such as heating, aquaculture, bathing, drying, and industrial processing. It can be directly compatible with other facilities.
However, it cannot be directly converted into electrical energy.
Usage Requirements: ① Can only be constructed by fixed-type shelters; ② The facility must be built at the lowest level of the structure and in direct contact with the ground;
Auction Price: 580,000 survival points
Buyout Price: 980,000 survival points
——————
After clearly seeing the item information, Yu Yuan didn't hesitate and directly chose the buyout option.
From the item being listed to the transaction ending, it took no more than three seconds in total.
Only when he saw the thick stack of construction blueprints appear in his mailbox did Yu Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
The price of nearly a million wasn't cheap, but he was very satisfied.
He had been worrying about heating for the shelter before. The Workbench could produce air conditioners, but Yu Yuan still preferred facility buildings, as only they provided corresponding bonuses.
Unfortunately, whether he requested purchases on Taotao Hole or searched elsewhere, he had found nothing before. He never expected to find such a pleasant surprise here.
Taking out the blueprint and quickly flipping through it, a prompt about discovering high-value supplies sounded in his ear.
[Ding... High-value supplies discovered!]
[A special construction path for the shelter has been discovered. Add the [Geothermal Well Plate Heat Exchanger Room] to the shelter's Facility Management Log?]
This blueprint provided a detailed introduction to the [Geothermal Well Plate Heat Exchanger Room] and also included introductions to some common geothermal utilization facilities. It contained not only conventional heating but also utilization blueprints for aquaculture and cultivation.
"Perfect!"
Yu Yuan's eyes lit up.
These 980,000 points were spent incredibly well. The heating problem after the arrival of the Endless Cold Wave was now completely solved.
This solved the shelter's heating, the breeding environment for the mealworms, and the insulation for vegetable cultivation all at once.
After adding the construction path, he immediately checked the construction information.
[Geothermal Well Plate Heat Exchanger Room]
Construction Requirements: Energy Level ≥ 15, Safety Rating ≥ 10,
Construction Needs: Geothermal Submersible Pump ×2, Cyclone Desander ×1, Circulating Water Pump ×2, Make-up Water Pump ×1, Stabilizing Expansion Water Tank...
Yu Yuan opened the shelter's Facility Management Log to check.
His current energy level and safety rating were completely sufficient. It was just that he had never even heard of these construction materials.
Thinking for a moment, he sent the list of these materials to Carmen, asking him to help find a way.
Carmen replied quickly, saying he knew where to find these things and would get them sorted within two days.
Looking at the message Carmen sent, Yu Yuan once again felt that choosing Carmen was an absolutely correct decision.
"The heating issue for dealing with the cold wave is solved. Since that's the case, it's time to work hard to earn survival points again. Need to capture more Swiftstriders too, and the Spirituality Zone... didn't get a chance to enter it these last two times..."
The faster he developed, the heavier the pressure on Yu Yuan became. He had to fight and strive even harder.
Thinking this, Yu Yuan put on his gear, merged with Mie Mie, and once again entered the queue for the Wasteland Battle Royale.
Soon, amidst a flicker of light and shadow, Yu Yuan disappeared from the shelter.
